Unfortunately, the fact that LCW's performance has been affected by loss of concentration in such an unfair manner renders any assessment of BCL's performance unjustified, given that a player's performance and form is relative to his/her opponent's performance.
LCW is no superman. He played hard to overcome all the adversities against him : bad lin calls, bad judge call, and a fresher BAO (who did not have to play in the Qtrs.
Sigh...I am so sad:crying::crying::crying:...This explain why badminton is so much behind tennis...:crying:
again, talk is easier than do....lcw is human...we just want fair play....bcl played well, but lcw is not his usual self...we r not taking the pride from bcl, is the officials...sad for bcl n lcw...n for this sport...sigh!!!
Why.. ..can't LCW mimic what WMC did??..I thought he has more experience than WMC and had faced this same kind of pressures/challenges before??.. ..well, IF there is a "conspiracy" to this CHN Open, they (CHN) could've done the unthinkable-that is to allow all CHN Finals, if they want to-but they didn't...
Well said...we can't judge both players' performance in this situation whether who is playing great and who is not. had LCW not affected by those unfair calls, I'm sure he has his own plan not to let Bao fully utilize his lethal smash and other adv. I'm sure LCW has his own plan but he lost the direction once affected by those calls. He might have lost the motivation to do his best as the outcome might be against him. He's losing motivation. On China side, this issue has to be raised to improve the quality of the judges so that people won't be losing confidence in the next China Open.
Even Super-Dan failed in opening round, LCW did better by at least being in the final. Fact is, since he rediscovered his form in Indonesia Super Series, LCW is consistently closing the points gap against LD.
Bad calls, if intentional, are only done if they think the players needed help. BAO certainly needed some in the 1st game as well as the 2nd. After the bad call at 11-10 (or thereabouts when it was still close), LCw just faded and ended 21-12.
I believe, only if LCW wasn't distracted as early as the match started by those bad line calls, he would have full concentration and may have executed his game plan with precision. BCL may be shaken and intimidated. He may not even raise his game. Usually when you know that the umpire and linesmen are on your side, and your opponent is rattled, you will gain in confidence and play better.
It's easy to imagine that you, as a spectator, could rise up to the challenge and do one better than the losing side but the reality is that when you have a long battle to go with the environment on a hostile footing to you, it sucks the fighting spirit off you.
WD final is wrapping up and yet nobody bother to update the scores or discuss it ... funny. We still couldn't recover from the anger against the line judge(s).
LCW's temper can be considered good already. if this happens to Taufik Hidayat, he will not complete the match.
It doesnt matter where they are from.. If I can sit and watch a web stream and oviously tell the line calls where incorrect and the rulings favouring one player.. it is wrong and unfair.. where the people who made these biased calls where born doens't really matter to me.. /Twobeer
