Once LCW and LD have retired, CJ could be crowned as the best MS player . Yes, I know you think that Chen Jin would arrive to catch up with LCW and LD. The only thing about Chen Jin is his back injury. It has (in the past) prevented him from improving faster than he could. But watch out; Once LCW and LD have retired, CJ could be crowned as the best MS player. .
Lee Chong Wei (at the 2010 Japan Open) defeated Lin Dan in 22-20, 16-21, 21-17 . But lately not so. According to www.tournamentsoftware.com Lee Chong Wei (at the 2010 Japan Open) took an hour and 22 minutes before defeating Lin Dan in 22-20, 16-21, 21-17. .
remember what i said few weeks ago, japan open was purposely handed out to datuk. it's yet another ploy by the cunningly brilliant li yongbo to place heavy weight of expectation on datuk for which he will crumble.
with your assessments and predictions on lcw, i say you are also 5 levels on top of anyone of us. and the same goes to your comments, written and to be read by you, yourself only. do post something we can read, duke
CJ does not play as smooth... Whether CJ would be crowned as the best MS is one thing but IMHO, CJ doesn't play and moves as fluidly as the 2 other more complete player in LCW and LD.
as long as lcw and ld around, very hard for cj to beat these 2. it is not that cj is not good, it is his style of play that doesn't trouble these 2. unless of course in another year or two. just look at the 3rd game against lcw, i think 7-17 it took cj 4 smashes to win a point and his coaches both didn't look happy or even say a word. what does that tell us? he ran out of tactics or he deliberately using brute force? even a robot would have his circuit board fried in this case. lol
i remember lin dan didn't smash a lots in japan open like he does always in other meet. i would like to see him play like his usual again tonite.
his game has changed in the last year or so. olympic 08 was probably the last time we see of him raining tons of smashes to his opponents. lets see tonight whether his game is still the same as 08 or the new 10 lin dan. having an easier semi final, who knows he may decide to give his audience that spectacular performance once again!
LD is just the best! He won't give the 'thing' he wants to any other person, unless he doesn't want it, like some small tourneys, for example...... I am proud of you LD, i love you so much!!!
