i like how this guy is so fierce and aggressive on court, people may say he's bit arrogant just from how he celebrate points, but he has charisma and vibe that has been so long since we don't see it in any badminton player. That's why his game is always entertaining to see

[@vinceminshin6970]

Word is waiting to see his Game.. always have surprise shutt. Unexpected move never seen before.

indeed hes arrogant.. that maybe because hes still young.. he need to stay humble.. learn that from LCW, Taufik Hidayat and etc. im saying this as a Malaysian

[@jnaboyles]

It is like the combination of Lin Dan's tricky and Victor's fancy, swift backhand. Magnificent to watch.

[@sohnee8791]

lzj plays badminton with full passion and in a non-standard way, that's why it's exciting to watch his game.

[@wayangpok]

LZJ is tall but not clumsy. He has a slight hunch that lowers his centre of gravity. A great athlete with fast twitch muscles providing great reflexive responses and smashes. All these add well to his explosive attacking style. His size makes it very worrisome for his opponents (he is like always in your face) when they are returning his smashes as if it is not perfectly done, there will be a follow up that will certainly kill you off. Over the years, LZJ has also boosted his defensive skill and that really made it very tough to play against. His long reach means his opponents will have to get in perfect kill shots. His defensive game is 2nd to none even though he is not a defensive player. LZJ's weakness is his inconsistencies and I suspect some lack of self confidence panic attacks. If he overcomes this mental aspect, he will be very very tough to beat. He will need to be careful not to overbulk himself with muscles as that will be bad for long rallies. We have seen him losing many of those. Syabas on his latest ranking and we can expect to him right at the top soon.

[@chenle4109]

Hahaha wtf

[@nocomment6771]

Betul3😂

[@meandermyself61]

They both at their peak have outrageous skills and speed but they are very different players. LZJ hits harder (more 'easy power)', plays way more aggressive, tries a lot more deception, goes for a lot more winners from his backhand, and plays very pumped-up. LCW quite a bit faster, quite a bit more stable, much better defence, plays with calmly focused desire, both are damn good around the net. A match peak vs peak would be i think quite anticlimactic tho, with LCW working LZJ to death, and basically throwing back everything LZJ can hit. He would make LZJ look unfit and ragged technically. Because LCW is awesome. LZJ is maturing into a brilliant, generationally-great player, I think he can challenge Axelsen for the no.1 spot, on his good days he can beat everyone currently playing, its just consistency. I must say though, LZJ is one of the most fun to watch badminton players i've ever seen, and i've watched many generations of them! He has style and swagger. I really hope the Malaysian press can restrain themselves from getting on his back the moment he doesn't win 2 tournaments in a row. Oh who am i kidding? they love to build players up and knock them down...

He has the attitude and charisma of a true champion, finally such a long time, after Lin Dan

[@nathanhosea489]

After Chong Wei you mean? In terms of playstyle, Momota's LD's successor, sadly, for the world of badminton, he hasn't been the same since he broke his nose. LZJ is certainly a worthy successor for LCW, though, don't get me wrong. Though his playstyle is more like Taufik's

@@MakachevIsLWdivisionDaddy totally agree, i can feel the LD vibe here

[@88feji]

Its true, LZJ is very similar to LD in his playing style (that forward stance and fierce fire power) ... His only similarity to LCW is their nationality .... maybe thats why LCW never because LZJ's coach, their playing styles are quite different ... LZJ has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, like LD, but unlike LD, his defence is unremarkable at best .... he does not make ridiculous saves the way LD was able to do time and again ....

[@legendarychinaman3965]

It’s safe to say that there will never be a second LCW however, its not about mimicking a greatness from the past but to start your own legendary legacy and strive to be a better version of yourself. Every player should be looked upon and respected as a representative of their own unique play style. In my opinion, even though 99% of current players can never beat prime LCW or LD, players like LZJ are just as awesome and amazing as these legends.

[@ngurahprasada]

Totally agree, i mean sports in any kinds - will have a huge leap of viewers if there’s ONE person that give us entertainment value in every match he/she is in. In a bigger picture let say it’s MMA - nobody gave us a huge entertainment value before McGregor, Tennis? I could say before nadal-federer era nobody has given us those entertainment value. In Badminton? Well the 4 legends actually pretty entertaining but right after Kevin’s provocative attitude, Lee Zii Jia aggresive persona and Antonsen self-awareness - it brings us more and more entertainment in a Badminton match I hated it when ppl said “Oh kevins too arrogant, LZJ so disrespectful during a match, Antonsen has anger management issue, etc” I would reply like this to most of them “Why didn’t you say the same thing with most football players? MMA fighters?”

Lol..he’s already better than Axelson. All he needs is consistency - which will come from experiences, And he’s been pretty consistent. Momota has everything a badminton player dreams of - a well controlled game but not even a top 10 good attacking skills. You can only go so far with just defense. The young Prime LD will crush Axelson, Momota etc easily anytime. Lzj attack almost match the young LD. What makes LD way better other than just his attacking skill, is that he was so calm, always two steps ahead, great with prediction, extremely fast (way faster than LZJ, LKY and Ginting or even LCW ) and risk-taker in his shots.
