I was away from the PC for 3 days. The kids are on their school break now, therefore the internet has been in their total control since Friday of last week. Well, I was left with no choice but to back off and gathered myself in front of the tv and watched the olympics.
I watched CW Lee against Ling Dan on men's single finals. Then I caught up with 2 semi-final soccer matches. Germany played against Brazil and the other one was USA versus Japan. Yeap, I watched young ladies playing soccer and I learnt a lot!
When CW played Ling Dan, he seemed to play against a 1.5 person at least. Well perhaps playing on his home ground gave Ling Dan a better advantage, yet I just could not comprehend how would Ling Dan be able to read CW's moves at least 2 to 3 steps ahead. In many occassions, he intercepted CW ball, whether the latter was dropping or lobbing the ball to the base line, and simply gave a quick, hard flick-smash. He read the moves ahead.
While he is no more than a little better built than CW, you could see him only once having to throw his body to return CW's smash. However, CW had been diving or sliding to take his ball.
This is how advanced China training has been to the point that they became good anticipators!Wow, what do they do? Meditation? Or there is a new kung fu badminton coming about?
And in either case, congratulations CW.
