China Badminton Super league 2016-2017

Close-ups show HBJ heaving, breathing heavily.

 

He Bingjiao reasserting herself in G3

 

HBJ urging herself on, letting out a yell upon winning a point

 

Hope to see He Bingjiao ascending the summit again next year.

 

Now showing Lin Dan vs Zhou Wenlong...and uh-oh, Zhou is leading 10-7 in G1 !

 

Zhou Wenlong is all charged up

 

Zhou Wenlong, where have you been these few years ? 19-16 leading !

 

Lin Dan misjudges the backline, 16-20

 

And drops G1, 16-21 !

 

Zhou Wenlong not giving Lin Dan any face, attacking at every opportunity and defending with tenacity.

 

Lin Dan must be stunned, I doubt he expected this.

 

Lin Dan should be used to such situations, every lesser known opponent will go all out, throwing caution to the wind, playing with wild abandon and even rising to the occasion. Let's see how he handles it.

 

Zhou Wenlong goes into the lead again, 9-7 after trailing 5-7

 

Lin Dan has to go on attack mode to regain his lead 10-9

 

Zhou undeterred, attacking with ferocity...a nd an amazing smash retrieval to go ahead 12-11

 

What a x-net return to LD's tight net shot to bamboozle Lin Dan

 

What a rally, ZWL levels at 19-all !

 

LD GP, 20-19...oh no, deuce

 

MP Zhou !
