As the days get nearer, I am getting more confident that LCW has got it right this time with his preparation.
His physical condition is gearing up to peak. On the day, anyone playing him would have to be super duper fit else he is very likely to humble them. Therefore, just on physical condition alone, he can 'break' you.
On skills, he has honed his skills with sharper play - net shots are getting very precise; backcourt shots are deeper and harder to read for the opponent; his smashes are now very threatening (the jumpshot smash can go any eachway-it will be tough for his opponents). He went to Korea to consult Li Mao to get it right - LM knows the chinese strategy having been there and it is quite right to pick LM's mind again. He is leaving no stones unturned.
Misbun has got LCW tuned to the max. There is nothing that Misbun has not passed to LCW and hence, he too agreed to let LCW consult LM......just to be sure.
On the optimistic side, I think he would cruise to the Finals with his fitness and skills. The Finals is when he would unleash his awesome power - LD has better be as fit. Hyderabad (the most testing place for any champion) will be bad memories for many but for LCW, it should be good ones only.
