I always root for Ma Long to win because he is towards the end of his career, and still delivers at this age. But when I saw him winning the 7-0 match and then proceed to lead 3 games to 2 , I was satisfied. I didn't care what the result of the match is going to be, I knew it that we are witnessing the greatest ever human being to touch a table tennis racket ever. No one was like him, no one is and absolutely no one will be. A genius, an absolute monster, the greatest of all time.
Liang Jingkun's first international win against Ma Long so far! 🎉😱Very tight match, the Dragon is clearly getting slower, only no. 4 in the world now, behind Liang. But the GOAT is not finished yet, as he showed it once again against Lin Yun-Ju!
After losing first two games, Ma Long switched paddle using red as forehand. Immediately he lost 7 in a row. 7 points, that's the price he paid for swapping the rubber and 7 plays to adjust the new setting. Then, he started winning and his opponent started feeling a little uncomfortable. It's just crazy he could adjust so quickly. Eventually, he still lost, not because of switching the rubber side, largely because Liang was just playing incredible table tennis and Ma Long's age. Notice both Ma Long's rubbers are Hurricane III. The difference in red and black maybe the sponge hardness and thickness. Usually, black side has harder and thicker spongy resulting spiny but slower shots, red side is opposite.
The respect Liang Jingkun has for Ma Long is admirable. Even though he managed to win this epic 7-set game, he remained silent and did not celebrate the victory over his countryman. Japanese legend says that to kill a ninja, only another ninja can be killed. In table tennis, only one Chinese opponent can beat another Chinese opponent.
LJK has finally defeated ML in international tournament, and has defeated Harimotor, LJY, Timo Boll last Tournament, only lost to WCQ. He is in perhaps his Prime time now. I hope he can win his first WTT title tomorrow!
Liang Jingkun might be the second best Chinese player right now. I wonder what his chances are of being selected alongside Wang Chuqin in Olympic singles and/or in team events.
There are three more major competitions coming in April and early May. If FZD and Ma Long lose more matches to players outside of China, Liang may get selected. However, Liang is historically NOT as reliable and he has to prove himself and win at least one more tournament to get selected for single's. The good thing is Coach Wang Hao likes him.
Lian Jinkun is a real soldier. He was losing 0-2 set, to save 5 match balls against Gauzy to finally win 3-2, same vs Ma Long 2-3, exhausted he stayed in the game to win 4-3. Clearly Calderano have another lvl this year but never bet vs Lian Jinkun, u will lose your house, your wife and your dog. This guyz never give up and is one of the most stable player with Wan Chuqin.
@hkuprobity2 Calderano is extremely fit and dismissing great players. Liangs amazing BH will be matched by Hugo. 60-40 Hugo, rather than 50-50 imo. Can't wait for the match, it will be great.
Liang always had the backhand, it's better than Ma's, but Ma has always been able to step around and crush it with the forehand. Not so easy anymore for Ma. Liang could lose to Calederano in the final, as I don't think his defense is good enough. He will have to step up and attack Calderano first.
@@shenzhenpingpongLiang is more likely to win Hugo than Ma Long since Ma Long's physical fitness can't catch up with more than 4 games and Hugo's long rallies tendency
@@shenzhenpingpong without doubt Hugo will exert the same strategy as Franziska did to prolong the game as possible and play more aggressive to consume Ma Long's stamina, then Ma would lose easily
Просто испуг. Проиграть китайцу - не страшно. Но если бы он выиграл, он был бы ОБЯЗАН побеждать в финале против Уго, который уже сыграл раньше. Ма Лон понял, что если Уго "убрал" ФЖД, то и его обыграет. А вот это уже позор. Слился "козел".
@@mikhailman4602ma Long Game is Not like FZD and WCQ depending on speed only that is why FZD has slowed down even though he is only 27 ma long game is more spin spin spin and that what most non. Chinese player scared of. If it was the game of speed dima would have at list best ma long once in their 20 h2h but no 😂 but dima beat FZD 3 time because both of players play with speed.
45.25 DHS rubbers have a different measuring scale for sponge hardness. 42* on DHS or Friendship etc. Chinese scale is more than 50* on the European scale.
В матче против Чучиня было видно, что тот его перебивает по скорости(особенно в последнем сете), и все равно он достойно сыграл не без жесткой борьбы 3-4.
I think matches on stages like this are not good at catching the points where the ball thinly hits the endline. I suppose the person who is closest to make the judgement is the player that does not want the ball to touch the table, and the general sound volume make it not possible to hear. Its quite often that I think to myself that the ball touched the edge. Maybe camera technology should be used to make the correct judgements.
This can not be the first time Ma Long has played with this setup. This might be how they simulate playing against European players. A lot of European players have slower rubbers on their backhand. Ma long must have thought since LIANG Jingkun loses more to foreign players maybe play him like one. Just a thought😁
Why ma long begins with the black rubber on his forehand and red in backhand and later of the third set change black on backhand and red on forehand? 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
How devastated can Ma Long be knowing that there's going to be a newly crowned WTT Champion tomorrow and yet Ma Long despite being the GOAT of table tennis hasn't win any WTT singles title every since the introduction to WTT in 2020.
The camera always misses the precise moment of the serve. We're not interested in the players' armpits for 3-4 seconds; we want to enjoy the game. The entire table should already be shown before the ball toss. Not during the toss, at least a second before! Please replace the camera operator.👎👎👎👎👎
Because Liang was comfortable counter topspin and ML had difficulty blocking on the backhand. Changing the sides mean better control on the backhand and different ball trajectory for the forehand, hopefully make it difficult for Liang to counter on it
Он понял почему он по скорости проигрывает слева красной накладкой.Она 37° и он меняет на чёрную 41°.Контроля справа стало больше и слева скорость возросла с третьего сета
Ма в 3 сете переворачивает ракетку. Первые 7 очков сливает для подстройки, а потом.. полетело) Ахренеть, на ходу да ещё во время турнира.. это очень смелый ход! Скорость он тут конечно подравнял и надеюсь уже сделал правильные выводы. Он единственный кто не делал корректировку инвентаря после перехода на пластиковый мяч. Уверен что на следующем турнире у него будет другой инвентарь. Его DHS W968 весит в районе 200гр и для пластика это перебор. Видимо просто никому в голову не приходило давать совет по апгрейду такому авторитету.
Ma Long decided to step off as if he won he would have had to beat Calderano. Which is not obvious at the moment. So Ma just "lost" to a member of CNT in semi, it is not a catastrophe. But escaped potential lost in the final to non-chinease.
i mean, he is still playing at a great level, beating the best of the world, and getting to a high-level semifinal, i don't think those are qualities of a player that's ready to retire

I feel privileged to have seen Ma Long's entire professional career. He is my favorite player of all time. Still World #4.
Now The dragon can be in peace because he have a good substitude in future.I love to see him in his last olympic this sharp and hot in playing❤

I’ll just drop this here, flipping your racket setup MID-GAME is wayyy easier said than done. Only the GOAT can do it.
After Ma Long defeated Lin Yun-Ju, I was expecting and hoping for a Ma Long vs Fan Zhendong final. Complete opposite happened. :(
Due to respect, MA Long, please accept my apologies. ... LIANG Jingkun: I have an oddity on my side.

Why is Ma Long playing with red on the forehand?
mid game adaptation?
Also, the backhadn rubber seems like the hurricane one with the blue sponge. Very weird.

Why ma long change his rubber from forehand (black) to backhand????
I've noticed that fact too. In the 3rd period Ma changed to red on his forhand to cheat the rival, I think.
