[@jimyang8824]

I feel like Chinese badminton team trained Chen Long almost specifically for playing Lee Chongwei: solid defence to counter Lee's quick smashes (24:08, 21:53, 15:41, 11:02, 30:07) great backhand to counter/inject change of pace (15:43), higher reach for quick smashes for not giving Lee any time to break (28:32, 20:12, 14:00) Lee's only chances were 1) baiting Chen into attack/bating Chen into soft drops, this way he moves Chen around and mess up Chen's defence (11:04, 2:42, 5:00, 18:00) 2) to speed up and gain control of the front court (4:00, 4:29, 5:00, 16:35). He did try to speed up many times in early/mid game, but unfortunately for a man at age of 34, he couldn't keep up the full speed for the entire match. Chen also played a better base game, as Lee made many mistakes towards the end of game 1 (29:28, 31:25, 27:27) potentially due to tiredness from speeding up too early & a dreadful match with LD the day before. Anyways, this was a great match, and I am glad to analyze it after 4 years. Thanks for the upload.

[@junlinyi4892]

Definitely agree with your analysis of Chen Long's style. It seems created specifically to counter Lee Chong Wei. He happens to struggle against some opponents like Lin Dan and Victor Axelsen even in his prime, but he was head to head or even edging out Lee Chong Wei, who was more all-rounded.

Then, no wonder if China also expected more on Chen Long to win the game. But i have a little bit of doubt about statement of China's domination in badminton at that time, even China just put 2 contestants in all sector's final match (Chen Long and Fu Haifeng / Zhang Nan) at Rio Olympic.

Because every point is so precious in this match. You don't even feel sorry anymore when you win a point by luck.

Chen Long get break for 1 days if I remember while Dato LCW only get 12 or 15 hours after his epic semi final match against Lin Dan....so advantage goes to Chen Long

[@audreyong3384]

[@ahlaitan8194]

Chen Long is a great reader and thinker on the present condition of the opponent! .He is very patient.

[@Olly07]

Reposted I feel like Chinese badminton team trained Chen Long almost specifically for playing Lee Chongwei: solid defence to counter Lee's quick smashes (24:08, 21:53, 15:41, 11:02, 30:07) great backhand to counter/inject change of pace (15:43), higher reach for quick smashes for not giving Lee any time to break (28:32, 20:12, 14:00) Lee's only chances were 1) baiting Chen into attack/bating Chen into soft drops, this way he moves Chen around and mess up Chen's defence (11:04, 2:42, 5:00, 18:00) 2) to speed up and gain control of the front court (4:00, 4:29, 5:00, 16:35). He did try to speed up many times in early/mid game, but unfortunately for a man at age of 34, he couldn't keep up the full speed for the entire match. Chen also played a better base game, as Lee made many mistakes towards the end of game 1 (29:28, 31:25, 27:27) potentially due to tiredness from speeding up too early & a dreadful match with LD the day before. Anyways, this was a great match, and I am glad to analyze it after 4 years. Thanks for the upload.

[@niceone1456]

Lee chong Wei and Lin dan are the best rivals in the history of badminton, such a shame LCW couldn't win any titles, especially this one after winning against Lin Dan

[@abhianikurapati3467]

Shame? 🤨🤨 Do you think he wanted to lose on purpose??? He just had a very physically and mentally draining 3 set match with LD just in less than 24 before of this... It's not shame for him to lose this... He just did all he could do from his side.

Permainan LCW sudah terbaca, bahkan akupun sebagai penonton tau dimana letaknya, yaitu depan kiri dan belakang kanan bagian dari LCW, aku sudah melihat beberapa pertandingan penting LCW vs Lin Dan, pelatih China selalu mengintruksikan ke arah itu, tetapi gak semua pemain bisa melakukan ritme untuk mengincar titik point kelemahan LCW, hanya Lin Dan dan Chen Long yang mampu.

[@fransiscusfalm1782]

Betul banget..saya juga lihat pukulan LD selalu kesitu...terutama bagian depan kiri..terlihat nyata itu kelemahan paling signifikan..apalagi di smash, baliknya pasti mentah
