Probably the best match ever, at least ive seen Nearly every rally is a dream for me The counterloops are amazing and the backhand exchanges lighting fast These two for the next 5 years at least will dominate
This is why he is the 2x world champion. He may play slow and lazy sometimes, but he has great finesse and precision in his shots. I put him in my top 3 list of favorite players next to Schlager and Kreanga for sure.
And he also lacks any willpower what so ever, if you see how he behaves, all of his physical expressions were a lot more energized and positive than they are nowadays
Nice video thanks for uploading. On game 3 score 6-4 (time 3:12) Ma Long hits hit paddle hard on the table. It appears Zhang complained to the umpire. What happened on that point? Is such a server legal if paddle hits the table so hard? The next score shows 7-5. Did Long get the point and also Zhang gets a penalty point too? Thanks in advance for any explanations
jeez they bend their knees lower than i thought. i play viscaria with tenergy too. going to have to go lower to hit that fast :/ my coach was telling me to stay lower all the time but i thought she was just picking on me. really do need to do that in order to hit fast shots in ^^;
tt coaches where i'm from strictly discourage stepping off the table. They consider it bad technique. These are the top players in the world and there almost always off the table.
A két kedvenc játékosaim,nagyon jó külseik van mind ketőnek. de azért vigyázni kell Ma Longra,nehogy átt vegye az első helyet Zhang Jikétől 2013 ban!!!
It's almost too bad that one of them has to lose, because they both are simply AMAZING! I mean...powerful top-spins (both forehand and backhand), excellent footwork, outrageous block, they both immediately engage to topspin rallies no matter what... PURE OFFENSIVE PLAYERS!! And with all respect to Ma Lin, Timo Boll(my idol), Wang Hao and many others... Zhang Jike and Ma Long are definately the best players in the world right now! Great match! Thanks uploader and thank you everyone who read this!
I think Ma Long served correctly and did not hit his paddle on the table - that was a noise coming from the spectators... maybe a door or something which distracted the concentration of Zhang Jike why he made the mistake and complained to the audience with his gesture. So Ma Long gets the point for 7-4. The point to 7-5 is just cut off, I think ;) It's not a problem to hit your paddle on the table if you don't do this with violent aspects ;D
About Ma Long: He can hit more powerfull strokes off balance, than many players in balance.. Enough said :) About Zhang Jike: He just beat Ma Long.. Enough said :D
@tshirttime84 Zhang Jike earned $80,725 US Dollars in 2011. (second place) Ma long earnings with a whopping $128,050 US Dollars.(first place) Hope that's help! ;)
@tshirttime84 Those amount is only earned from winning Tournaments. He might doing other things such as photo shoot, advertising and Butterfly made a blade using his name called 'Zhang Jike' so I guess he probably got a lot of money for that. He bought lamborghini....it might be true? :/
Dont you see that Zhang in last matches plays like cat with mouse with other opponents allowing them to fight if he feel his power? He can destruct 4-0 everyone, although i like Ma Long. It looks like WLQ-Ma Lin at 90-zeros... Its Circus ((
Interesting match. Probably the worst I've seen Ma Long play. When he started losing he just seemed to give up and lose those sets convincingly, usually it's the opposite and he makes a come back to win.
his worst matches were against koki niwa and lee sang su not here ! zhang just played much better in the 7th set and eventually won the match. ML played great table tennis but he didnt won the crucial points like he did in Austria open , beating ZJK 4-3 again
