As I read some early posts in this thread, there were many critics about the KOR duo's abilities. Recently as the duo has been continuously showing their top performance over the world, I found the INA BC residents shut their mouths up. JJS/LYD - the World Number 1 in Men's Doubles! Their DOMINANCE rules! The post-era following the legendary PJB-KMS has already opened!
Did you see LYD defending while he's lying down on the court? JJS also did the same. "Never say die" is their motto.
They have won 5 titles in a row since November 2009. It means they have won 24 matches without any loss until now.
You mean.. ..defending on the floor ala Koo Kien Keat?? while sitting or fully lying down w/his back on the floor?..no, haven't seen it, but will do so.
i dun understand why pros repeat smashing at the down player even when defender return the 1st, 2nd,.. CaiYun even hits one out by overpowering it. A fake push at the net will do the job.
Because when the time their opponent are down, they think that that's their best chance to attack them back.. that's the mentality when u are in the attacking mode
Slightly sitting. I mean, his back is not fully resting on the floor. I think he had his left elbow supporting (not sure as everything happened so fast). But he's not sitting either, as his lower back was still touching the floor. I think cooler is right. A simple drive would have given the Chinese an instant point. But when you're in that situation, seeing an opponent down on the floor would give you an instant reaction to smash it on the person out of position. I guess it's already instinctive so I can't blame them.
^^I see..^^ ..so LYD was sort of reclining on his hip..do you recall which game did he perform the reclining-while defending posture, so i can just fast forward the video..
Hm..dominating pair lost to unknown MAS team....I do not think Kido/Hendra or CY/FHF lost to lowest pair ever...still Kor ranks number 1 without BIG title..
^^This is the reason for the loss..^^ ..http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1353584&posted=1#post1353584 (post #2809). Not to say it's an excuse. And yes, they've won one of the big titles, the 2008 All England.
The partnership that was.. ..interestingly, JJS didn't really make his significant international competition til late 2004/early 2005, partnering with LJJ. That partnership, however, only lasted til around end of 2005/beginning of 2006 as JJS was partnered with LYD soon after. More on LJJ: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25276
