It's actually really nice to see two top of the world players at the time, smiling and having fun, particularly when you consider how grueling and merciless the Chinese National Team's training system is.
chinese athletic training as a whole is 'merciless' and 'cruel', as children are selected as young as 4 to go train, and the vast majority of them who fail to make it at the top become washed up. search it up, there are some good documentaries about this subject
Nice to see 2 top and competitive athletes be so relaxed with on another. Ma Long so young and already a legend, even though there can only be one WALDNER!
I’ve always like this video. Ma Lin at the height of his game and Ma Long just coming into his own. Look how thin he was back then. The easy relationship they have foreshadowing the transitional relationship as most former champions become coaches.
It's nothing more than encouragement, professional players need to cheer and bring themselves back up if they've played bad previously in a match, as you can see Ma Long was used to saying Cho or Cho Lei after every point he won, so it's basically nothing more than congratulating himself as confidential is one of the most important factors in a TT match.
In the match, Ma Lin appeared to be more of a thinker as Ma Long is a well- trained player. If Ma Long can think as fast as Ma Lin, when he gets to Ma Lin age 31,seven years from now, he would be a more consistant player and will have more confidence because he will not have as many weak spots as a pen-holder will have. In other words, Ma Long will be more of a classical Ping Pong player who does not rely on so many tricks in serving a ball to win any more! George Wu, AIA 2012-5-27
Chinese team has so many great players. And all the young players has so many legends to look up to. Ma lin and Wang liqin had Liu Guoliang. Ma Long, Wang Hao, Xu Xin, Zhang Jike played first with Ma lin and Wang liqin and then became champions. Now new playeds like Fan Zhangdong, Wang Cheqin, Liu Guoyuan. Not to mention other players like Chen Qi, Hao Shuai, Fang Bo, Yan An etc. all good players with great technique and footwork. China is a factory of producing Tt legends.
I don't understand how Ma Lin blocks topspin with that backhand block technique.I would imagine the ball flying cross the table with an open racket like that.
what does Ma Long say when he scores? I hear it in other matches too, sounds like " Choi" but not sure or "Cho lei" sorry not sure what is he saying, any ideas anyone?
It's 'Chole' which means 'Yes!' in Chinese. Although a Chinese word it's commonly used by players of all nations - it's become a part of table tennis culture
They want to dry their sweating hands. They do this towards the net because normally the ball doesn't hit the table there, so the ball doesn't get wet.

NightcruiserMA I am with the word gruelling, but merciless? You been through the training?

Usually asians don’t look old even if they are old but Ma Lin looks the opposite
Ma Lin looks like 30 when he was 20 and still looks 30 now

They both should turn pro
Nice bait.... 4 months you failed

@@glebgiz1246 How you didn't get the irony?
Ma Long almost drank from Ma Lins bottle at the end.
Yeah, it probably just said "Ma" on it. ;P
Why do all Chinese people have the same name and look the same. LOL
his secret is the blue Powerade :D
@@l.s5806 What a racist fuck
It's nice to see them smiling.
마롱선수 풋풋한 시절이였네요 ㅎ
Lots of fun from the players, great personality as you can see.
Thanks for sharing!!!
二人のこんな仲の良い練習風景を見れて嬉しい＾＾
だって二人の大ファンだから＾＾
Ma Long - antrenamentul vostru este frumos și foarte distractiv , va doresc un somnic ușor

The both players are legend
they actually look like humans here
There are we, 7 Years later. Good times!
ferocious even on practice..
Ma Long is a Maschine !!!
I like Ma Lin's shorts
The best you antrenament of table tennis , beautiful .😍😍😍😍😍💪💪💪💪👏👏👏💖💖💖💖💖
Was a delight
Even if i could play half of way em play , i would be a national champion of my country 😂😂
2:31 How on earth did ma long got that back... and not just blocking but attacking... so good
Does Ma Lin always use black side of racket to do backhand ?
No he sometimes user rpb too
ttrastott even tho Ma lin can do that technic of shot..believe me,he can't do that shot in the real match..i don't see that shot until now.
He trained so hard it became a reflex act
ttrastott reflex dipshit
i think both these players have the potential to be world number 1
I'm not sure since shakehand has basically disappeared from the game.
excellent
They're probably just teasing each other. People at my club do it all the time in practice then smile, laugh, or smirk afterwards.
Ma short need to see this
All the better to keep his balance with during his crazy bouts of footwork.
That's something you scream out, when you got a point.
Very good
Bonus, my table tennis idle has a sense of humour aswell.
Muito bom

Wish i can have all that ball they used now.
i want to learn that one...😁
They either just smoked weed or drank 3 bottles of whiskey each
No
Perhaps one bottle of tsing tao each
2:31 马琳这几下横打真的是惊艳到我了。
后期大厨招牌技术：反手弹击
@TTMalte Yes :) of course :)
I have a question, why do ping pong players always touch the table with their hands when they play?
best players !
nice!!!!

lmfao Im dead they must be drunk out of their ass or Xu Xin/ cloud walker must have done something really funny earlier.
why do they occasionally touch the middle of the table?
The game they were betting to beat a ball on the left side of table.But Ma long beat the ball on the line.So Ma lin won the game.
楽しそうw
たゆ それな
2:30 is totally awesome
Demoncheese99 How long have u been playing?
"qiu" (Chinese pinyin phonetic spelling), means "ball," probably short for "hao qiu," which means "good ball"
Why do they rub the table up towards the net after a point?

I don't understand how Ma Lin blocks topspin with that backhand block technique.I would imagine the ball flying cross the table with an open racket like that.
2:09 - 2:14 Ma Long: wait STOP IT!
@2ShaePussyCat good touch and timing. it's not just about racket angle. good touch can cut or add power, speed, spin to a return at various angles.
Really Great :-)
what does chole means?
what is ma lin rubber
крут ма лон
There you can see that the chinese have fun at practise ;)
ма линь по ходу тот еще приколист
Wo ist eigentlich die STIGA ARENA 😂
what does Ma Long say when he scores? I hear it in other matches too, sounds like " Choi" but not sure or "Cho lei" sorry not sure what is he saying, any ideas anyone?

why do they touch the table close to the net all the time
This is my video :)
PENHOLD: DO NOT CROSS THE FINGER INDEX, TELL XU XIN
They want to dry their sweating hands. They do this towards the net because normally the ball doesn't hit the table there, so the ball doesn't get wet.
И все же Волднер лучший...это и китайцы признают!!!
:D CoOl
2:16 Wow!! They are human!
Oh yea? Have you seen the new guy, Ma Lin Shidong?
why do they touch the table near the net all the time? ( 1:15 for example)
Pedro Rabie sweaty hands
Near the net cuz the ball rarely hit there
Come On!
Ma Long has a different socks O.O?
2:18 lool ma long chos after troll serve hahah
lmao 3:00 Ma Long: fxxk I'm exhausted I don't want to move on lol
2:15 Haha, great serve! =D
Are they brothers?
who said the chinese r robot when they play?
they were playing that malong can only attack malin a back hand side
Oh
I thought Ma Lin used the reverse
He used that since last 1990's
I was just thinking...... Do they really need to practice how to shout even winning in practice?
Damn that dude with the yellow white tshirt has a thicker right arm then his left, roy jones of table tennis
3:51 Kamehameha of Ma long
@Kwonghun ;-)
Idk why but im laughing with them
I bet 0:50 the yawn next table is from Liu Guoliang
"one more"
I want to see them play with spoons.
why they keep touching the table near the net..
habs 76 the dust makes their hands gripy
two legends, and they cant even keep a ball on the table longer than 5-6 rallies... sigh
Unless they are at the exact same level, it's hard for anyone to do rallies unless they wanted to
Где-то там вне кадра ходит грустный Wang Hao...
Ma Long is really shot
@TTMalte HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAH funniest joke everrr
2:30!
