Now. LD had got the side effect of skipping/resting too long for not compete in tournament.. He is unable to catch up now.. As a player, u have to keep competing in order to maintain your form... For LD, i think he is rather lost to Bao instead of LCW if he cannot maintain his fitness after long time "resting" Any comment?
Another one of your LD fear LCW thread? http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1350289#post1350289 LD lost to bcl in a fair match. If LD fear lcw, lyb would have asked LD to lose in 2 sets to bao, not 3 sets. Why tire out BCL going into SF?
From watching the match, this is what I figured - LD is not used to playing against a left-hander, BCL had great shot recovery, and BCL capitalized on LD's poor smash returns of shots to his backhand.
LD has played BCL like 30 times in various tournaments, and has been sparring against him everyday... I haven't got a chance to watch the match, but my guess is --based on BCL's German Open final -- A BCL in perfect physical condition is too much for LD to defense.
30 times against BCL isn't that much as a percentage... the angles that BCL was hitting seemed to catch LD off guard a few times. He was using plenty of bodyshots too.
Honestly... almost 30 times in real tournaments... You won't find any other two players who have played each other so many times... For example, LD vs LCW is currently like 19 or 20 times. BCL is faster than usual recently... I guess that's why LD couldn't find his rhythm.
20 times against LCW doesn't matter. What I meant is that it's 30 times against BCL, but 5000 times against right-handed players. Anyway, you're right that BCL has improved his game.
no hard feelings but it's one of those threads that should be removed. no content to discuss on such topics!
You guys just can't be wrong. If LD lost, it's because he is afraid of LCW. If BCL lost, it is LYB's arrangement.
All players shouldn't be afraid of each other. LD has beaten LCW many times, why should LD be afraid of him? Good job, Bao. Hopefully LCW won't find him too hot to handle. LCW's win was not very convincing too...
yup, the No. 1 should able to finish a qualifer more convincingly, especially ShonWH had to win all his matches in 3 games.
Pointless thread to be honest. Bao has played brilliantly and based upon his current form might be as big a danger to LCW as LD would be.
Nothing to do with the thread below.. My point is that for a player you can't skipping/resting too long for not compete in tournament.. IF so, you are unable to catch up.. As a player, u have to keep competing in order to maintain your form... No matter what sports u are in.. Tennis or wat so ever.. If Feneral will rest for 1 years of non competing.. He can't even play. My opinion is that, LD had started to fell the side effect..
Exactly. I am as worried as LCW vs LD. BCL has more rest time than LCW as he finished his 1st two matches without letting his opponent get above 10 points, while LCW was comfortable in the first two, but he lost rest time when he had to beat Shon Wan Ho in 3 sets. LCW, let's go!
I dont pretty understand what's the question of this thread - what fear? why? Did LD just play bad? Someone saw a video of the match - what is it 7 straight points loss in a third game?
I just love these threads, there's no satififying the MAS fans, if LD beat BCL soundly, it's team order, if he somehow loses it's he's afraid of LCW... Why can't you give credit to BCL for playing a great game and for being in form for the first time in a very long time(maybe he's recovered)... If CJ managed to beat KT yesterday and than is in the semi's and LD beat BCL today and CJ tomorrow, it's oh he's being protected by his teammates so he's well rested, I mean can't you guys give it a rest I'm not LD but I'm pretty sure he doesn't fear anybody on a badminton court, nor should he or actually any other professional players... The moment you fear somebody, you've already lost the match!
..i am just waiting for that pBmMalaysia fella to tip-toe in here and repeat to us the reason(s), he already shared, on why LD lost..
that is nothing to do with who fear who in this thread.. Let's discuss My point is that for a player you can't skipping/resting too long for not compete in tournament.. IF so, you are unable to catch up.. As a player, u have to keep competing in order to maintain your form... No matter what sports u are in.. Tennis or wat so ever.. If Feneral will rest for 1 years of non competing.. He can't even play. My opinion is that, LD had started to fell the side effect
