[Waldi777]

;)

[gur1023]

the commentator sounds like he's throwing up

[MultiOlimac]

joo had his revenge in the hungarian open, he could beat zhang yike

[Kamikaze10101]

生で見たときはビビッたねw

[Chinesekage]

in the end joo's like...why do i even try? :(

[icedragon109]

efforlessly? you guys need your eyes checked, although 4-0'd joo se hyuk gave zhang jike a good run for his money in all of the games, excluding the last one I guess

[SlowNzZz]

...Lol Why Joo Se Hyuk Always using Slices instead backhand He have to use them both

[strikewzen]

@SlowNzZz he has long pips on backhand, cannot loop with it

[MrMingyong24]

zhang jike footwork exceeds ryu seung min

[lesckh]

chopper are shit in modern games play

[dreiz100]

7:35 Like a boss

[perniciousnc]

[brahms008]

Kong Linghui 2.0 ....

[lastxp]

Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad!

[polskagranica]

- Chinese

- What ?

- Boring !!

[K05TJ4]

Joo se Hyuk should attack more frequently

[tshirttime84]

Mark my words: zhang jike olympic champion 2012

[livingeasi]

When was the last time J S Hyuk won against a top Chinese player? Like 1992?

[tshirttime84]

@livingeasi When was the last time any european player besides timo boll won against a chinese player? It just doesnt happen that much because they are too strong.

[rosun82]

@tshirttime84 Ovtcharov just beat Wang Hao

[tshirttime84]

@rosun82 was an accident. He got smashed in the rematch.

[0o0jf0o0]

@tshirttime84 ma lin gets beaten by the russians all the time XD

[tshirttime84]

@0o0jf0o0 haha, for me THE chinese players are zhang jike, ma long, xu xin. I can say the same thing that france is not doing anything good because Patrick Chila gets beaten all the time. This was just an example before anyone starts bashing me on this because i know the french players are doing great at the moment but it was just an example.

[cuninou]

@tshirttime84 Come on, you cannot compare Wang Hao with Patrick Chila! Wang Hao can still be considered as one of the best chinese since he got to the final of World Championship beating Ma Long in the semifinale. He still counts in the national team. Chila is just a retired man so your example is irrelevant and your sentence too, admit it. I want to add that I am not willing to be hard on you whatsoever, I just want to tell you my opinion: rosun82 was right.

[GuyGermaine]

what kind of mizuno shoe is that @ 2:25 ? no more wave medal?

[Herold008]

ttCountanence ! GREAT QUALITY HIGHLIGHT ! Can you upload the Zhang Jike-Wang Hao Final ? Thanks !

[khoolguy07]

Did u all notice that faint smile @ 7:26! He is amazing man.. only Zhang and Wang Hao have mastered how to dispatch the worlds best defender so effortlessly!

[yemail5555]

Boll failed maybe because he hasn't fully recovered from his injury. You can clearly he was exhausted towards the end of the game, Zhang is much younger . There is also some difference between Chinese attacks and European ones. Most Chinese swing full arm to attack, it is harder to restore one's position, but the attacking angle is wider, so it is harder for defender..

[rosun82]

@yemail5555 I've heard that Boll suffers from injury for almost 5 years, everytime he lost a game people say that....LOL

[dividebio]

Inhumane speed, man that last point

[MaaLongg]

too easy to win for JKJ

[clalalalalalive]

Zhang Jike's adaptability is way above any player right now. The way he defended Joo's counter attacks was totally out of the world. Boll failed, Ma Lin and Wang Hao sometimes fail (though they usually don't let Joo attack), Xu Xin maybe close to Zhang's prediction, but not as consistent... It's really hard to see Zhang Jike lose to counter-attacking choppers any day.

[klu501]

playing defenders is such a test of discipline and consistency

[lesckh]

another win for the chinese FK YEA

[plot000000]

you can tell zhang's loops were just a tad faster than timo's

[KaxMisha]

@plot000000 Haha. Not just a tad, Much faster. Zhang can generate power. Boll cannot.

[ivan66]

thanks for the video!



[perniciousnc]

baddass man badasss loll

[jwzhu]

4-0 against the best chopper in the world, almost effortlessly. I would say currently besides ma long, no one can beat ZJK.

[Bossiiiii]

@jwzhu or put it this way... any top 10 player can beat the so called best chopper in the world

[Opalance]

@Bossiiiii Well yeah, as Joo is the #10, everyone else in the top 10 is higher ranked and supposed to be better than him. Defenders are more reliant than any other class on the skill of their opponent because you are relying on them to make the error.

[lesckh]

@Opalance just no.... go to sleep

[Opalance]

@lesckh As someone who played as a defender for 2 years, yes. Now stfu.

[lesckh]

@Opalance just no... go to sleep

[Opalance]

@lesckh Go to sleep yourself you ignorant fucking troll.

[lesckh]

@Opalance mate go to sleep

[Opalance]

@lesckh Fuck off you twat.

[lesckh]

@Opalance MATE you need to go to sleep

[Opalance]

@lesckh Moron, I'm not a fucking Australian, I'm not your mate, and I don't need to go to sleep you dick.

[lesckh]

@Opalance MATE JUST GO TO SLEEP

[Opalance]

@lesckh It's 6pm asshole, go fuckin order around your own bastard children.

[therighthandrule]

@Bossiiiii just ask Mizutani and Boll ;)

[KaxMisha]

@jwzhu Yeah, those two are the two best players in the world by quite a margin. I would have to say that Ma Long is the stronger one of them, but interestingly, it is Zhang who has grabbed the most important titles (though Ma Long certainly has more titles overall).

[MrBogiz]

@jwzhu damn right...

[DaDooM88]

@jwzhu time boll can beat anyone on a good day

[lumm71]

Great quality! Zhang Jike is on the way to become the best player of all time. He is unbelievable fast and in perfect shape.

[unhommeetranger]

No offense but Arabic commentary is such a turn off!

[yogistyle92]

Joo gave a good fight..but still. Damn you Chinese exclusive blue sponge : )

[KStala]

@yogistyle92 they are called "provincial edition" , DHS Hurricane II and Skyline III are available as a Provincial Edition i think. they realy have special sponges and are only for sale for the chinese top athlets and table tennis clubs in china. but in some shops like eacheng"dot"net can you order them

[tabletennisperson]

rediculous finish

[TheDarthsophia]

7:35 That grin

[clalalalalalive]

@TheDarthsophia prove of arrogance? ;)

[frickenbaba]

Correct me if I'm wrong, it seems like Joo simply couldn't handle Zhang's forehand loops because of how much spin it has. I don't think it was Joo making unforced errors, but rather Zhang forcing him to make mistakes.

[DaKrazedKyubizt]

@frickenbaba Well, I think that may be one aspect of it. Boll's forehand is TOTALLY different from Zhang's for one. I think Boll actually enjoys a bit more spin than Zhang, but I would agree that Zhang's more powerful loops might have a bit more spin.

But that's definitely not most of it. I'd say the biggest two problems Joo had with this game is that...

1) Zhang has FANTASTIC aim.

2) Zhang is a strategical genius. I don't think I've seen smarter play from a simple two-winged looper.

[DaKrazedKyubizt]

@frickenbaba oh, and Zhang also prepares better for blocking Joo's random loops. He's a better blocker overall.

And that last point... Zhang baited Joo REAL good. He was ready for that the whole time.

The unusual amount of spin on Zhang's loop could also be attributed to the completely different physics of Chinese style rubber and Chinese looping style.

[LightSpeed99999]

@DaKrazedKyubizt He also uses more spin than Ma Long. It seems he actually has a ton of power but had some issues controlling it so he was trained to use more spin in his shots. If you watch Ma Long vs. ZJK matches, you'll see ZJK's loops kick and bounce a lot lower than Ma Long's.

[DaKrazedKyubizt]

@LightSpeed99999 ooh! observant! never noticed that. I'll check it out.

[TTPoster]

Very nice! Which language is that?

[LUNTE1337]

@TTPoster arabic

[bedroo222222]

what an incredible finish !!

[waynebenn45]

Amazing Counter loop by Zhang at 7:36

[worapongable]

Excellent

[citylida]
