It's crazy how much spin JSH generates and how much speed he takes off those Ma Long smashes. Ma Long rips a shot as hard as humanly possible, and it comes back looking like it's in slow motion. Nutty.
I played ping pong to a decent level, and it's not that hard to chip back the opponent attack. You just stood far from the table, the his shot would slow down by the time it gets to you. But the challenge is getting it back into the table time after time, because when you're that far, the table appears a lot smaller to you.
I don't want to be that guy but if you understand physics, have an extensive background in ping pong, or a relatively decent level of critical thinking you'll see how it's actually not as difficult and impressive as you may think. What's impressive is how he can be so consistently accurate (from both sides). I always find back spin hits to be much easier to control in basically any sport.
@@spin.chicken Which shows how skilled JSH was, returning low, with varied placement, and sometimes, even with so little time to react to Ma Long's vicious loop drives, he'd vary spin the way it fools the opponent and gets points for himself.
Table tennis is one of those sports, where when you compare how the elite pros play and how regular people play, it doesn't even look like the same sport
One of the greatest, if not the greatest, match in table tennis. The level of skill to play those rallies and at those speeds and distances/angles was simply breath-taking let alone the incredible huge spin generated throughout. All sports have their opposites eg in boxing it's the fighter v the boxer, in snooker the potter v the safety player, etc and this is table tennis's battle of the styles. Such a pity someone had to lose but that's competition. Ironic that the Korean guy was more effective when he started to attack (best form of defence as the saying goes). Reminds me when the roles reversed and Sugar Ray turned into the fighter and hunted down Tommy Hearns to win by TKO back in '81.

@@yujie1973 ya that has to be trained and it has to be instinct. If you play people that switch between attack and defense often you’ll be really good. Playing a variety of different styles help
Changing your pattern especially in head to head situations at elite levels is effective across many disciplines. But you do have to set the pattern to be able to change it.
Joo Sae-Hyuk is one of my favorite players. Possibly the best defence player ever the world has seen. Among the TT players, who revel at hitting top spin forehand and back hand at breath taking speeds, here is a guy who revels in lifting everything back to the table with unmistakable resilience and that deadly chop. I like him partially because I played like him (during college 3 decades ago) chopping everything and eventually winning. Hats off to this world class defence player.
The " defender " has incredible REACTION !!! I played this fun game , it's not easy to defend powerful( crazy )shots made by MA LONG... It's an amazing show of talented players
Joo was like a snake at times, so flexible in the way his body could contort and absorb some of the pace. Also so versatile in placement and spins, very few balls were returned the same way. Add to that his ability to suddenly turn defense into offense if the opportunity presented itself, very capable topspin drives and mid distance topspin rallies.
It’s interesting how different their playing styles were. Their almost like they were complimentary to each other, with the Korean extending the rallies and the Chinese maintaining the pressure.
I calculated a rough estimate. 6 to 7 frames at 25fps over a length of 2.74m is equal to about 120-130km/h! That is insane. The word record is about 120km/h so I think either the video or the framerate is inconsistent but holy moly that is one heck of a smash!
I find it really cool that Ma Long's offense turned out to be a great weakness. Because he wasn't able to predict the shift when JSH does to his own offense, he stayed close to the table constantly to prepare for the next defensive return, but sometimes the ball would come back offensively, and he wasn't prepared for it at all.
Most people underestimate the power of defensive players, as a defender player my self way back college i sometimes play 4-5 rallies as a defender and when an opportunity is found to attack the opponent they'd be caught off guard since they are used to the spin that the defensive player used before. Great play by both.
See how most of the score from JSH is him being offensive and getting Ma Long off guard thus resulting him to miss a calculation on how to counter attack after a spike
нет слов. просто восхительно. уважение корейцу, он долго держался и не сдавался. особенно заметили как он в критические моменты брал и атаковал. обо гении просто. но китаец зверь!
This match reminds me of a very famous story. In ancient China, there was a man who sold both spears and shields. He boosted his spears were so good that they could break any shields. However, at the same time, he also bragged his shields were so strong that no spears could break them. One day, a by-stander challenged him to use his spears to attack his shields. At the end, that man was speechless. Ma is the attacker that can destroy any defender and Joo is the defender that no attacker can defeat. Everyone here is the by-stander who wants to know what will happen.
Defense is a observe play style. What I mean is the attacker in the first set he was winning so the defender had to learn his tricks. But that does not mean attacking is at a disadvantage as they can change their attacks or tactics.
This is why I love being a defender in TT way back in college. Most people don't know defenders / back spinners pack a punch when it comes to spiking the ball back towards the attacker! Great performance by both player. 😊
Awesome. Joo is very skilled. Chopping a heavy topspin with a non inverted rubber is not easy. That is why most defenders (like gionis or ruwen) just lob a heavy topspin ball most of the time on their non inverted rubber.
i often practice defense, it's very demanding in terms of cardio (have to run more because further away from the table), legs and ....really hard on the back. But it really makes fun practice against an attacker and takes forever to get it right with inverted rubbers
Its seems the attacker has thr advantage. The shots were easily planned and completely open to what and where he wanted the ball to go. A balanced playstyle is probably best, but heavy offense will beat heavy defense.
That's probably the reason why nowadays we have a new type of defensive player, the modern defender, who plays with a defensive and an offensive rubber and alternates between attacking and defending. This modern defender can keep up with the heavy attacker since he has the advantage of varying spin.
What an incredible performance from this Korean player, absolutely insane. I had never heard of him but he’s right up there with the handful of very best players in the world.
The Korean player is a monster. You can learn to attack, but you can’t learn to defend like him. It’s an innate skill, and when he wants to, he can attack very well, he’s smart, he has technique, it’s a pleasure to see him play.
@@Coops321 Timo is definitely a legend, but I doubt if he could still do the same if he were born in China. On the other side, the dictator can stay top in China for such a long time, on my mind that is even harder.
It would be a pleasure for table tennis if there were more players like Joo Sae-hyuk. This match is more beautiful to see than a match of Ma Long versus Fan Zendong, Xu Xin, Harimoto, Niwa, Ovtcharov, Boll, Lin-Yun-Ju, Calderano and all the others.
Ma long is very good but i m really impressed wt Joo. His defence technique is simply mind blowing, although he prefers to play defensive his attack is equally at the best👍
defensive players just rely on unforce errors by the opponent, that is why seldom win with the offensive players. this is the hardest style in pingpong to be defensive player.
@@ktosomcosom19 They mean unforced in the sense that, because defensive players put super heavy backspin on the ball with chops, attacking players will find it difficult to move their bat fast enough to create enough topspin so the ball doesn’t bounce down into the net or table. They have a lot of time to play the shot. Hence, the error is unforced - it is about technique.
@@locky244 it is not that simple that they just have to lift heavy backspin balls. The chop returns don't necessary carry a lot of backspin; they may have no spin whatsoever, hence why ML would overshoot the table with some of the loops.
@@ktosomcosom19 Yeah your right as well, but what I’m trying to say is defensive players (most of the time) do not force their opponents to make a mistake by playing with pace, different positioning, etc.
This is the best table tennis match I've seen!😮, I just love how the Korean stood his ground very well👍...I'll just quit basketball and just play table tennis, its more exciting to watch.🔥
To maintain the level of consistency on those 1,000 forehand loops from Ma Long without going fatigue and lose his mechanics is just simple incredible! Never seen a match like this before.

Love this post! One of my favorite matches. Joo Sae Hyuk makes it look easy. It’s hard to chop low to the net and deep vs heavy top spin. Anyone think Joo change out his pips for a faster rubber would have improved his style?
In my humble opinion, it wouldn´t work for him if he ever changed his style to attacking, even very early in his career. In many matches, including this, I´ve seen him having clear opportunities to attack and probably finish the point on the backhand side, but he would push/chop instead and it seems like he just prefers to keep the ball in play instead to try and frustrate/confuse his opponent and only go for attacks from the forehand side - even though he was very adept of attacking both with pips and his forehand rubber on the backhand side. Perhaps he just didnt feel that his backhand attacks are sufficiently reliable, I don´t know.
i get the idea of playing to your strengths but when youre playing PURELY defensively, you have to be putting yourself at a disadvantage against someone whos so aggressive! its kind of like refusing to punch back in a fight and instead you just bob and weave, like yeah sooner or later the dudes gonna get tired but youre gonna get beat the hell up if you dont try and put the guy on his heels
This match shows again , that attack style win against defence in 21 centery , probably best defender can win good / avarage attacker . but when Best players meet each other , attacker will win . u can see this in all matches between Ma long vs Joo Sae-hyuk., 14-2 for Ma Long in all matches history
Ma Long's forehand is so unfair! It's crazy! He generates so much spin that it's practically dipping for his opponent's side of the table before he even hits it. It feels like he could hit it straight up at escape velocity and it would STILL find his opponent's table.
If I hadnt learned about Xu Xin and Wang Haos Penhold attacking style, I would definitely play as a defender attacmpting to emulate Joo SaeHyuk. Also the change of the bll makes it much harder for defenders, so it isnt really viabe anymore. Anyways, I am glad I play as an attacking looper now, but I still enjoy the defensive game with TPB lobbing every once in a while to emulate my former dream of being a defender!
Defender is sooo patient and has such a good reaction and technique. But look, his most important points were scored in attack! So, if there is a question "which style is better", I'd say that attack definitely wins.
I think sudden change in dynamics wins. Korean guy defends so well and let the Chinese guy attacks, thus being close to the table. Then K attacks! That’s smart.
It's crazy how much spin JSH generates and how much speed he takes off those Ma Long smashes. Ma Long rips a shot as hard as humanly possible, and it comes back looking like it's in slow motion. Nutty.

Perhaps he just didnt feel that his backhand attacks are sufficiently reliable, I don´t know.
I am a pure amateur TT attacker,, playing against a good defender can be very exhausting physically & mentally but it only makes you better.
i get the idea of playing to your strengths but when youre playing PURELY defensively, you have to be putting yourself at a disadvantage against someone whos so aggressive! its kind of like refusing to punch back in a fight and instead you just bob and weave, like yeah sooner or later the dudes gonna get tired but youre gonna get beat the hell up if you dont try and put the guy on his heels
That last set was something else
i love the audience. they made the game more interesting.
Because this is asiad 2014 in south Korea 😂😂
Dude it's like in the movies! Lookin like CGI out here. Amazing match
This match shows again , that attack style win against defence in 21 centery , probably best defender can win good / avarage attacker . but when Best players meet each other , attacker will win . u can see this in all matches between Ma long vs Joo Sae-hyuk., 14-2 for Ma Long in all matches history
Crazy game, I've never seen game like this, so amazing!
Simply wonderful!
as they say.."defense wins championship"... except for Ma Long. what an insane forehand. Great match. kudos to both.
I swear to god these Chinese athletes are literally machines
god doesn't exist, don't delude yourself in shit

Yes.. True
As a tennis player I watch table tennis with amazement as their is no way I could do that
Ma Long's forehand is so unfair! It's crazy! He generates so much spin that it's practically dipping for his opponent's side of the table before he even hits it. It feels like he could hit it straight up at escape velocity and it would STILL find his opponent's table.
Bernoulli’s principle really working like crazy in ping pong (and tennis)
На 7:15 - лучший розыгрыш! Борьба в концовке на больше-меньше - просто блеск!!! Оба - МОЛОДЦЫ! 🏓🏓///
If I hadnt learned about Xu Xin and Wang Haos Penhold attacking style, I would definitely play as a defender attacmpting to emulate Joo SaeHyuk. Also the change of the bll makes it much harder for defenders, so it isnt really viabe anymore. Anyways, I am glad I play as an attacking looper now, but I still enjoy the defensive game with TPB lobbing every once in a while to emulate my former dream of being a defender!
Смотрится на одном дыхании. Великолепно!
И главное 20 мин. Я не заметил
Defender is sooo patient and has such a good reaction and technique. But look, his most important points were scored in attack! So, if there is a question "which style is better", I'd say that attack definitely wins.
I think sudden change in dynamics wins. Korean guy defends so well and let the Chinese guy attacks, thus being close to the table. Then K attacks! That’s smart.
This is probably the best match I've ever seen.
没比這更好看的桌球攻防經典比賽。
18:08 So funny how the commentator actually tries to narrate it in real-time!
joo sae-hyuk vs adam bobrow would be even more legendary
One of the best match i have ever seen , defense Vs Attack
awesome match, but when you best defender that keeps floating balls back so slowly, i wonder how many smashes you can stop.
예전에 봤던 영상인데 지금도 재밌네
What a hell of a game. Never seen something like that where perfect offense meets perfect defense. That was craaazy
yes.
Take off my hat to the 2 excellent players!
