Zhang Jike (China) vs Jun Mizutani (Japan) 2009 Asian Table Tennis Championships, Lucknow , IND, Nov 16 - Nov 22 Men's Team Final: China vs Japan - Match 2
I've just heard that Japan was very close to winning the gold medal but Mizutani Jun couldn't bring his country to the gold medal. He had 4 match points against Xu Xin but wasted them. This might have been one of the biggest victories of Japan in the modern era and the strongest challenger against the Chinese.
zhang jike's technique is too f*****ng good. how the heck did that happen? a couple yrs ago he was a usatt 2800-ish 2nd string that got decimated by liqin when wlq was #1. jike's play style is completely different from before too. he must have trained really hard to become like this. wtf i am amazed. biggest change i've seen in any player. 2nd biggest improvement probably matsudaira. 3rd mizutani
jun's technique isn't the best, but he is smart. in terms of power and speed, both kan yo and yoshida kai were better. he's been improving his power since he started practicing more offensive play modeling after some of ma lin's style. the other really good upcoming player is kenta matsudaira. most ppl think he's new but he's actually been in the circuit for awhile. it's just that he's made a breakthrough recently playing much better than before.
good match
its very interessting to see the "new" generation :D
5*
I wonder what you'd say now! Lol
Because 2 years ago he was a teenager and now he's grown up and gotten a couple more years of highest level training...

@J0kerofHearts
Well nowadays, 8 out of 10 of Xu Xin's matches have been come back wins.
Jun Mizutani is not so powerful, that makes Zhang Jike have many chance to get point
@tanxu
Zhang doesnt hit hard at all =S Not here, u should c him against chen weixin... Thats what i call power looping xD
