as predicted. what is interesting is the following stats: game1 FHF/CY : KKK/TBH smash winner 4:5 net winner 6:13 other 11:4 game 2 smash winner 7:6 net winner 11:7 other 0:5 game 3 smash winner 2:11 net winner 8:8 other 3:3 what is intersting then, is that in both game 1 and 2, neither team was able to smash through to make an outright win. now we all know how offensive FHF/CY is, what is different this match is that KKK/TBH has excellent defense. with their smash not penetrating, FHF/CY has no advantage. the reason FHF/CY won the 2nd game is that they won more on the net. however, on the 3rd, it was different, the Great Wall was showing some leak in their defense, allowing KKK/TBH to sneak in for the win.
i saw some post about are koo/tan on drug....or is fu arm injured........anyone get the answer????cooler asking........ i glad i lost my pick...but i sad tat i dunno what happen to hauge....no paw since 13/3/09....i worry abt him....hope he didnt face same thing as uncle sam...
The thread on Fu's arm has nothing to do with injury things. The opposite. Congrat. on Koo/Tan's advance to Final! That's what I exactly predicted.
haiya...u didnt read tru this thread???cooler ask if fu arm injured....anyone can comfirm this???later might have ppl say:aiya....take advantage on ppl injured....if cannot win...can quit badminton already.......(erm...but...why the 'injured' chen jin can enter semis????)
*kwun- when KKK & TBH are on, their defense can be as menacing as the Great Wall. For example, remember their SS Masters Final match vs. LYD & JJS, with KKK doing the sitting-duck defense. Add to that the playmaking ability of KKK. I thought Cai & Yu escaped facing an INA or MAS MD pairs last week on their way to their AE title. *limsy - He should still be in L.A. but I've heard no word from Hau-ge, either. Don't know where he is or what he's up to.. ..on that note, enjoy the rest of the matches as i'm off to go kill some birdies (dead birds, i mean)...see y'all again later..
ya...i know he is in l.a...he tell me he will go to india....not swiss.......i worry about him.......hope he is fine....he wont paw until half then left...... ok...hehe...hope u as stunning as what u watch just now....
I did not watch anything.. ..only relied on Livescore and this thread for updates.. *Hau-ge said he will travel back to Asia around early April.
i see...hehe...sorry... yes...i asked him before...he say will go to india for gp gold.......hope he back to bc soon...
no...he is my oponent in paw knockout stage....but he didnt paw since round 2......thats why i worried abt him.......
To echo kwun's comments, Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun are typically vulnerable to MAS pairs as well as Kido/Hendra. However, they are good against DEN and KOR pairs (despite the one loss to Jung/Lee in the Thomas Cup Final, they have impressive head-to-head records over the KOR pairs).
CHN usually cannot adapt to playing in front of the net. Just look at how Hendra Setiawan usually dominated Cai Yun in that aspect.
