Yonex-Sunrise HONG KONG Open 2014 : FINALS (23rd November 2014)

smash to the body by CL
15 - 15

 

Shon 16 - 15

 

Chen Long's smash is devastating....

 

16-all....

 

Yup, Chen Long is unlike Lin Dan who is able to suddenly race to the finishing line towards the end.

 

G1 not looking good for Chen Long now...16-19 behind

 

That's why SWh loathes to lift to Chen Long...it comes back thundering...

 

Goes for the line and misses it, CL's smash...

 

3 GP for Shon

 

3 GP tp Swh...

 

2 GP left...

 

A lucky reflex action from Chen Long to return that one, 1 GP left...

 

Shon takes G1 21 - 19

 

You see, Swh is always waiting to force Chen Long to lift as he expected and gets behind the shuttle quickly to smash it down, a strategy that works more often than not...

 

Cool game. Will see a 3-set match. Never seen Chen Long lose in straights to anyone except LD maybe.

 

A wittier or smarter Chen Long won't have to work that hard or be pushed like that.

 

Steven Ma (HK television actor) is in the audience

 

Guess it right but wrong execution, CL...

 

double smash by shon
shon 2 - 5

 

Finally, Chen Long outfoxed SWh...
