My favourite is his unique cross court smash. Steep, fast and as to date, not many players can answer his dynamic cross court smash. And no one can emulate it. I’ve been following his game since 2004 all england. For me, he is the best player of all time. -joe, Kuala Lumpur

8:40 Went like a bullet!

The two GOAT of badminton world, hats off to them ,such an inspiration.

2008 was his best and beast form. 😍❤

You can see them now lmao I agree 2008 LD smash was just blinding

The tactical smashes really important for LIN DAN, and he did it really2 accurate. That is the secret to beat an opponent with great defense like LCW

I like the 2011 version of Lin Dan, the peak of his performance.

Wow, great analysis man

He is really a legend 😮😱😱

I love the analysis but i think you have to factor in that these 2 players have developed a style of playing against each other, since they push each other to the limits. Therefore it would also be best to include how Lin Dan plays against other opponents as well. But I agree with most things, perhaps maybe just the reasoning might be different: 2008: LD's prime, beast mode v everything 2012: LCW at his prime, LD fairing not too well in world ranking, but pushes himself to show again that he can (albeit barely) outpace his greatest rival 2016: Both players past their prime, indicated by their safe style of play, LCW fairs better this round (not by much) and is more consistent in their play over 2015-2016. Don't forget other players have also achieved their A game, look at CL. 2020: LD has stated he will be challenging himself again after seeing how LCW fought cancer, both players are motivating each other to enter the highlight stage once again. However, they are no longer the top titans anymore, and with the flurry of top contenders out there, it would be a hard road just qualifying, let alone entering the SF or F. LD has to outrank both CL and Shi Yuqi, while LCW has to rank up significantly to qualify.

Outstanding video bro👌

Great journey,, LCW and LD the best men single ever.. badminton lovers

Mentally Lindan takes more risk because he aims for winner shots. While other players like Lee Chong Wei and Momota aims for consistency to force errors from their oponents. Taufik and Axelsen also have that style like Lindan but their stamina is not as good for the long run in many tournaments!

these legends cannot be made again. once in a life time. lindan the mighty champ in this generation ... great video .. i love making videos on him or appreciate people like who make videos on him.. thank you for the video .

Amazing work man! Will be interesting to see if LD manages to qualify for Tokyo 2020 with SYQ and CL as his top rivals for the two spots.

Lin Dan is maestro of badminton

I live for his cross court smashes like it's so satisfying 😭

Stick smashes, esp the round the head ones are Lin Dan’s great skill n strength.

做的太用心了！！！

Lin Dan has great deception.

I love You Lin Dan ;-)

Great 👍👍👍👍

My Favorite Is Legend Lin Dan :)

I respect LCW but man, that BJ2008 was a total rape. LD was a total unbeatable monster back then

Have no seen any player that utilize flick smash as effective as LD.

The most lethal LD shot was his legendary attack, super quick-powerful overhead straight smash follow by his super fast movement to the net. You know, if he using this shot a lot in a game, that is mean he is in serious mode. And from what i observe, LD only uae that a lot if he face LCW.

The goat

What a smash 1:47

Nice

A good collection. But here is some disagreement. LD is a conter-attack style player, he rarely takes risks(only good at making opportunities in his movement) and only grasp those that look sound safe, he spends much more time creating a smash-kill chance than he often ends a rally with an one-shot kill. He spends his energy only when he must, you could put it another way, that is to say, he is a quite "lazy" player. This is also why his could carry out such a long career in fierce Badminton sport. He is a phenomenon. We have to take this fact that after his retirement, this sport will fall darken to a big extend.

Good vid but dont speed up badminton vids please

林丹天天远网抓推

Ok.....nice

What a reach1:58

for me LCW is just not lucky enough but LD deserves it . LD is the King . LCW suppose to be the other King besides LD but he just an uncrowned King😢

I think one point should really be covered but you might not have coz of the number of points the video has to cover is footwork.. You briefly introduced how LD reads opponent to prepare for forehand smash, in my opinion this was possible because of his slightly unorthodox footwork. You can just rewatch the 2012 Olympic final parts (08 is a bit like that also) to see Lin Dan does his split step at all different forms, which is why he is able to adjust even when he makes wrong predictions. On top of that, by being'formless' in a way, he takes lesser steps, letting him to play more stamina efficient. But this takes a down turn in his career as he is getting older, he did lesser training, so he became slower due to a footwork heavily dependent on leg strength(noticeable by badminton standards), and so he is taking more shots in unfavorable or uncomfortable positions (losing nets more often), thus losing control of rallies. Theres tones of content already made on Lin Dan footwork, they will demonstrate it in much more than i can in a few words.

0:52 He didn't face LEE in the '16 final, it was semifinal.

Analyse the new matches

At the age of 33 you aspect power smash to Lin Dan

Good vid bro😉🏆🏸

I’m a newbie badminton fan. So 2008 was his peak career? 2009-2012 he wasn’t dominating badminton world but LCW did? In conclusion, lin dan only dominates major event, but lcw ruled badminton world without winning any major events. Is it true?

Make some videos at Lee Chong Wei 😑😑😑, your video is only abaut Lin Dan why?

In 2016 simply has finished medicine effect.
