Doesn't he sound like Steen Pedersen ?anybody know who the commentator is?
Doesnt it show the weakness of the rest of CBA's mens singles? Oh I dont expect them to win but still they all got a thrashing good and proper from someone who hasnt played for a long long time!!
Lucky for CL and DP not being here.
They are still discussing this topic at Lin Dan's thread. No answer yet.what racket is lin dan using?
if u watch lin dan vs derek wong of singapore in the earlier round, derek won quite a number of point tru smashes...LD is not at his fastest best, yet he can return every thing that Tian throws at him. Will he be able to do the same with a player he is not so familiar with?
He's back...![]()
Results out : Lin Dan beat Tian houwei 21-14, 21-9 .
Yup, LD bags first title of this year really smoothly, interesting to see his action next in BAC to chase back to back winning. CHN Thomas team needs LD desperately as their unconvincing Du PY and Wang ZM.
Don't worry needlessly, LYB will never allow CHN MS to end up like MAS one-man show. With CHN's depth of talents wave after wave, it won't be long before another one or two up-and-comers rise to prominence inexorably.
Moreover, it's too pessimistic and premature to even think of writing Chen Long off as far as dealing with LCW is concerned. Bear in mind that Chen Long beating LCW four times in a row , all in straight sets, was an unprecedented feat, one that surpassed even Lin Dan's record against the same archrival - I still believe Chen Long will be back stronger and scaling greater heights. Wishful thinking or not,the future will tell.
Richard Kaufman. He does all kinds of sports, including ping-pong, I think.anybody know who the commentator is?
I understand your concern. After the historic LOG'12 clean sweep,Team CHN has taken her foot off the pedal and 'rested on their laurels' too much for which LYB himself expressed he's partly to blame and as he said 2013 was CBA's worst performance in years. Since then he and his coaches have solved the CHN WS problem as we are witnessing this year. I believe CBA is now working hard on their MD and MS situation, bearing in mind he sees things in 4-year cycles which coincides with the Olympics.I dont want to dwell too much on this but LYB's record speaks for itself as far as replacing the top players are concerned or training the younger players to take over. Can you imagine this happening in
China's table tennis team ie bringing back a L.Dan to take part in the table tennis's equivalent of the Thomas cup?
There are too many one dimensional MS players in the Chinese team.
So LD won? Was it or should I ask how boring was the game?
Only 9 points for the 2nd game.
Maybe LD gave some free points.
Speaks volume of mighty CHN's MS dept.. They still need this old horse for the major titles.
Btw, is he still blowing his nose?
