Chopper killer

D K Asked 9 years ago

Hi coaches

I have seen that some players like Xu Xin,Ryu Seung Min or Wang Hao are called "chopper killers".

I realised that they are very good at using the anti-chopper strategies.

Is there any any option how a tradditional defender can effectively counter such players and strategies while remaining in the defense?

Thanks

DK

PS:Do you think that the player with Matsushita's defensive capabilities,Maze's lobbing skills and Ryu Seung Min's footwork can produce a "perfect defender"?

Hi DK,

I think at this stage it is almost impossible for a defender to beat those type of players but having said that the defenders did really well at the World Championships.
