Liang Jingkun vs Hou Yingchao | 2019 China National Championships 

Hou is so effective. Amazing style!

Some years ago, Hou Y.C. did much more backhand smashes / forehand attacks than nowadays. But his vast experience can teach the youngsters in Chinese national team some techniques they rarely encounter at such world class level.

LJK cannot handle Hou's variety of spins. Good to see two choppers (Hou and Ma Te) in the Chinese National Championship semi-finals. Though Ma Long, Xu Xin or Fan Zhendong are not competing, it is still a huge achievement for the 37 year old Hou.

Wow! What an ugly/nasty defensive style and at the same time so correct and cunning. I would hate to play against Hou. Good job, man!

I really love to watch how Hou outsmarts these young players and their lack of patience in the game. They ARE god, really god... but not god enough to just run over Hou as they would like. Which they get more and more aware of, the longer the match continues... And also... Hou seems to be in a marvellous shape, and he plays with great confidence....

This is a win for ages.

chop, chop, chop. lamb chop, beef chop, duck chop, chicken chop. the whole china loses to one chopper. Hou YingChop

Seldom saw such an effective defender who caused his opponent to make so many mistakes and could win.

Hou really gnaws away with spin variation change of pace but comes in with fierce counters. Great player good to watch. Await the haters comments with great aplomb. Lol.

Great to see this 👋👋

Wow Hu is still in the china league and even he won the match against Liang? So awesome !!!!

7:02 good ol banana joe!

Love the audio. You can hear everything they say during the match

きたーーー！！！

Great game! :)

how come this amazing players just beat top players like that . INSANE !

Классная интересная зрелищная игра получилось !

Liang was obviously getting more and more frustrated with Hou's backspin variations, sudden attacks, and sidespin combinations. Very funny!

Where was this guy all this time. Maybe was practicing on another planet

This is like father and son match considering the age gap!

大哥真了不起！服！

what just happened???

As if Hou is wispering to the ball!! He is too cool..

すげぇ

China National Championship, where every round of games count as grand final of ITTF regular open/world tour.

I thought choppers were going extinct? At least that’s what the tv commentators have the audience believe. Honestly, I see that Hou has mastery of both defense and attacking styles, it’s obvious that he has more practice vs attacking players than LJK practicing vs defending players. LBJ has mastered the attack vs attack game, but not the attack vs defense vs attack again vs defense again, it’s too much skills to master, Hou has lots of skills and patience, he has continually perfected his game, it’s his artwork and it’s great he is shar8ng it with the world, lol

What is a coach? The coach is myself.

Reminds me Richard Gonzales from the Philippines. So awkward you'd think he was rubbish. But players struggle with him

see the side spin before the ball is going to stop in the air .. a nightmare to every attacker

🎉🎉🎉

さすがベテラン

I guess the Chinese national team doesn't practice against choppers too often

He can cut the world :) very strangle style

주세혁 선수도 세계대회에서 우승 가능성이..?!

Well, cutting!

if ping pong is like street fighter, hou will be screaming "chicken chop", "banana split". Now i feel hungry.

Once again we see that 39 is not retired age in table tennis. You have chances to win highest world class trophies at age of 39 if you want. Hou Yingchao once again confirmed that. Great efforts, great performance of the veteran. And interesting table tennis in this final match. A lot of it is because of the new LIGHTWEIGHT DHS balls, which is a little more lightweight than other usual heavyweight balls. Lightweight balls fly slowly because of air resistance, so that ball speeds are in range of possible human reaction. There for players can react and can applies various techniques in games. Hou Yingchao of course plays well, but these lightweight balls give him chance and give more interesting table tennis. Congratulation to Hou Yingchao, and beautiful table tennis. Japanese heavyweight balls, for example Nittaky balls, leaded table tennis to action contest, very bored and poor techniques, not game show. You should stop buy old heavyweight balls. ITTF must officially announce the new official ball weight , for example ball weight 2grams. The current ball weight 2.7grams is so heavyweight.

かっこいい

8:29 ボールの転がり方がヤバい

LJK lost his head big time last 2 sets. Yes wierd spins etc but when you're top 10 in the world these players you shd eat for breakfast

5:46

Why do people "STILL" apologize for hitting the ball into the net and it going over most of the time winning the point. I mean it is widely know that the person didn't mean to win the point that way. Also, would the opponent get mad if the player didn't apologize for doing so? That is all.

That's my boi

How the heck is this possible?!

候英超👏

40歳で超級に出て梁に勝てる化け物

Да что у него там за шипы?!

Both players don‘t scream the whole time like idiots. Very pleasant to see 👍🏓.

有個和張本打的人才厲害

侯英超夺冠，暴露了国乒打削球手短板。

i have never seen a chinese top player play that bad against defense...

Underspin :v 1:15

Who knows,what equipmants does he use?

the people too noise

How strugle is Liang.😂😂

1:18' very under spin serve

Liang Jingkun is No 6 racket in the World now. When you see how many mistakes this first class player makes against Hou Yingchao you realise what kind of crazy spin variaton he has to deal with. Amazing!

never seen.such superior chopping quality in younger generations

How old is he? He is so genius

He even turned LJK into a chopper at many times.

New generations can't deal with heavy spin, they are all about that flashy speed, look at Lian Jingkun sending all those heavy chops to the net, pretty sad the youngsters forgot about spin.

Modern defence is good style, Its my style!!

WOW. Imagine, some 15 years ago he wouldn't beat TB!!!

可怜啊，坐着的教练是王涛吧？

Let me explain why I don't have any respect to Hou even he has beaten Liang J., Wang C.? 1. If Liang, Wang used pimple, they could beat Hou easily. 2. If Huo used normal (inverted) rubbers, he was beaten badly by Liang, Wang. 3. Huo could cause trouble to Liang, Wang because he used pimples. It means the pimples themselves, not Huo, cause troubles to other players.

短パン上げるのはや！！

これで39歳という

11:10 That smile xD He's really satisfied...

At the 04:56, Hou blocked a ball from Liang, the ball just dropped on the table of Hou's side, and he looked at his own racquet, and wondered what the heck happened to his rubber. And he has been using THAT rubber (dodgy) against other players for SO MANY year, and happy to see THAT DODGY rubber destroyed many players, who had much higher table tennis skills than he did. Such a wimp player, who uses dodgy (pimple) rubber to cheat to much better players.

Bóng bàn thủ lên ngôi

Incroyable ce mec est genial

That chopping style is like dancing dragon... So beautiful...

11:10 hHere's a little smile for kickin' your ass!

梁大傻 林妹妹 王小姐都是没有希望的一代

なんで帰化したんだって思えるレベルの強さだな

Super!

He is a champion now

Fake match

10:54 弾道がキモすぎる笑

Great lesson for LJK from Uncle Hou !

侯さん、村松くんに指導して欲しい…

Tricky old-man power 💪

让我想起被野球老大爷支配的恐惧

10:54

There are so many offensive players that they forget to practice against defensive player. Only the weak offend player will lose to defensive style. If you take the best offensive against the best defensive, offensive always wins in modern TT. Defensive style cannot control the rally but only follows.

The way that LJK played like he just had his diarrhoea! So disappointed! Anyway, one of the best point from LJK 4:29

He's all curveball, fh loop and bh chop.

All these comments discounting the win because hes a chopper? Hes a great player and considering any form of table tennis other than two winged loopers is ever promoted, its amazing they win at all. Can you imagine if there were as many RU-vid videos on modern defense as there are for offensive style of play?

A master in the defence playing. And those his spectacular sidespins. Hou is very hard to defeat him .

Wow LJK cannot beat a chopper...amazing

What the fuck. This not a table tennis 😏 all types of pips,long and short both must be banned . This not fair

Hou is such a good chopper/slicer, he can become a top Chinese Chef lol

nice deffens

Now we know who's the best chopper.

Never has such a guy who won the China National Champion around 20 year before and now still be able to enter semifinal! I don't think there will be anyone who can break such record!

當年贏郭謹浩拿全國冠軍，差不多廿年後再進四強，前無古人，恐怕也後無來者！

Молодая китайская поросль не умеет играть с защитниками! :)) Вот это конфуз.. :)

5:45 best point of Liang

Is this a new tournament? I knew about the national games but this is the first time that I hear about national championships taking place?

やりますね👍
