Asian Games: Ma Long-Wang Hao

[mfrizzle90]

My long wang. How?

[MajorHalman]

uh huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuuhuhhuhuhuhu­huhuhuhuhuh... long wang uh huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh

[brunokenobi88]

Ma Long o melhor

[GeorgesVI]

lol, who would call his children long wang?

[Tamarovboy]

did he just say handwork at 4:59?

[ttpingponglover]

video starts at 0:27

[rizzelet]

Anyone know the name of the guy who is sitting directly to Zhang Jike's left at 1:21?

[panajazz]

@rizzelet That's Ma Lin.

[rizzelet]

@panajazz Yeah, Ma Lin is to his left, but I meant one seat over to his left - the person who leans in to tell Zhang Jike something before the camera pans away. The guy's name is Liu Yi, a chopper from China who has recently played in the 2011 Korea and Japan Opens.

[BollForte94]

Wang Hao watched this while he was in Rotterdam :D

[JaxAkaJT]

the commentator is very noisy

[eps0n]

mmm in 0:07 ma long recieve the wang hao´s serve using his blade in 90 degrees ... how could he do that ( its really hard):( ... sorry x my bad english :D

[vegeta5069]

@eps0n if you look closely, it wasn't completely 90 degrees, and the serve was probably dead or topspin

[DaFaiGai]

@eps0n That's how you push topspin serves short. The serve is not backspin.

[huycd34]

there is 1 retarded guy who disliked this vid

[BollForte94]

where can I buy the black trikot of Ma Long or generally chinese tablle tennis t-shirts? can someone help me ?

[this1is2me7]

6:50 lol why did Ma long flip up his shirt like Ma lin did in 2008 olymics?

Is that how every player feels like when they win a big title? XD

[BollForte94]

@this1is2me7 he flips out the shirt from the shorts

[this1is2me7]

@BollForte94

He didn't really have to show his belly though.

[ThebestLennart]

jase lem jase lem jasa lam woan woan woan xDD

[sak0815]

Hey commentator, stfu!!! 

[live2ridegsxr1000]

Does anyone feel like the Penhold grip is fading away? It seems that all the top players and future players are all using the shakehand grip. Examples; Ma Long, Zhang Jike, Chen Qi, Timo Boll, and even if you look at the juniors its the same. Just a question cause I don't pretend to be anywhere close to this level of play.

[therighthandrule]

@live2ridegsxr1000 When you consider that the current holder of the World Cup, current World Champion, and current Olympic Champion are all penholders, it doesn't seem that the penhold grip is suffering in modern table tennis. As a tt player who started out playing shakehand and then switched to C-pen, I can tell you that shakehand is much more versatile, while RPB penhold has a few offensive advantages. One is not clearly better than the other, and I don't really feel that penhold is dying.

[live2ridegsxr1000]

@therighthandrule No doubt Wang Hao and Ma Lin are at the top of the game but if they don't win or if Ma retires soon who else is able to win major events? I just watched the English Open videos today and Ma Lin was handled by Chen Qi. I was just looking into the future and it seems that no one except Xu Xin is gonna be in top tournaments with that grip who can accually win.

[therighthandrule]

@live2ridegsxr1000 You're absolutely right in saying that most new talent is using the shakehand grip, but I have recently looked at the U18 world ranking, and Wu Jaiji (no. 4, CHN), and Zheng Peifeng (no. 6, CHN) are both penhold players. Remember, just a few years ago nobody had heard of Xu Xin, and in another few years, everybody might be talking about these two up-and-coming juniors ;)

[live2ridegsxr1000]

@therighthandrule Ok good info thanks. I'll remember those two names and keep an eye out for them. It just seemed really wierd to me that so many Asian players are now shakehand grip, I was thinking maybe they noticed a problem. But only time will tell who the next top dog will be and what grip he'll use. I feel that Ma Long is the best right now even though I love Timo and he's the new #1

[jayjaymatt]

i really hate it when players at the end of matches don't even acknowledge each other. its just a quick tap of the hand, there is no sportmanship in table tennis it's really disappointing. if footballers were like this then there would be uproar about how they are role models and shit like that. Timo boll is the only one who looks his opponent in the eye and says good game. disappointing

[dxuhuang]

@jayjaymatt chinese players probably see each other too often for such a greeting to have much meaning. Don't bash table tennis.

[kizaman]

@jayjaymatt don't get your panties in a bunch. The handshake signifies sportsmanship. There is no need for hugging or pretentious banter afterwards.

[Tamarovboy]

is ma long's backhand equally strong like wang hao's?

[Tamarovboy]

is ma long's backhand equally strong to wang hao's?

[eps0n]

i have one question : in 1:08 when wang hao serve to ma long´s right side why ma long uses his backhand ? why he didnt use his forehand ? , great video .

[BollForte94]

@eps0n its easier to flip with backhand

[notreinaqed]

@eps0n the serve/ball ended earlier than excpected, I think as he was excpecting the longer serv, also his position was not perfect for forehand, great video

[Flac0machine]

excelente nivel demostrado por los mejores exponentes chinos del tenis de mesa...pero falto uno de los grandes que es Wang Liqin ......

[Coyannis]

Even though wang hao can beat ma long he looses many critical points and ends up to loose the whole game. Maybe he isnt that focused cause he knows that he propably plays with a better opponent. On the other side ma long hits a massive wall against xu xin and he looses most of the times which is just a better version of him. We will propablly see xu xin in 1-2 years conquer the first spot

[max095]

@Coyannis Xu Xin better version of Ma Long?... well, they sure play totally different styles, as you say, Xu Xin has a great winning ratio againts Ma Long, but it ends up there, he totally can not beat constantly other Chinese players Just as Wang Hao, Zhang Jike, and his nightmare Chen Qi, things that Ma Long easily achieve... The reason Ma Long isn't able to beat Xu Xin constantly is just psychology...

[live2ridegsxr1000]

@Coyannis Don't think that Xu Xin will make it much higher in the world rankings. He has no backhand and the top players know how to take advantage of that. He is just another version of Ryu Seung Min

[respekt200]

0:45 is so cool!.

Hao was close, but lost some points that he could of not loose...

Next time he'll win. :)

Respect to Ma.

[yogistyle92]

astaghfirullahalazim...hahaha.­..dammit, i had hoped that wang hao had won the match...but close enough though...

[PingMast]

i never seen ma long celebrate like this before....he is always acting very cool...great game by ma long!

[tyoungos]

Ma Long’s convincing victory at the 2010 Asian Games signals his major comeback to secure his world #1 status and even capture the gold medal at the 2011 WTTC in the men’s single event. Finally the sun shines through the cloud again in his TT career. ☆☆☆☆☆

[radioheadnyc]

in one of the interviews zhang jike mentioned ma long is good at long rallies that goes on and on. that's why ma long looks so fast. he doesn't put everything into one shot

just because ma long is #1 doesn't mean he'll win gold. experience is important. WH was #1 for a long time and yet he lost in beijing 2008 to ma lin. ma long was #1 when he was in the last wttc and yet he lost to WH. i hope WH gets to go to london 2012

[ixxbazxxi]

1:10 the commontater say wanker!

[bachforelle11]

0:13 : epic fail^^.

[diodog9907]

lol speaker says wank at 0:30

[padiltimo]

thanks for uploading,high quality video camera..

[DaKrazedKyubizt]

ma long seems to be recovering well from his loss against Chan Kazuhiro...

[Opalance]

@DaKrazedKyubizt That's cause he isnt injured now.

[murrayblhrc]

ma long is so deceptively fast

[chilett92]

LOL... pause at 7:14 and check the difference between ma long´s right arm and left arm. I know it´s normal for any athlete of these kind of sports.

[DaFaiGai]

fk wang hao ._.

5:15 doesnt even say sorry.

[Recanter]

Been looking for this game everywhere. Thanks a million TTCount! :

[waterman159]

if u hear at 1:20 he says something like bucking or F**

[alex366s1]

0:10 lol wang hits the ball but than stops it

[nestorcabrera07]

ma long destroyed the world champion in six games, this proves that he deserves to be recognized the best player in the world

[tanxu]

there was no destruction there. wang hao was very close the last set and he won 2 sets as well.

[adam102803]

thanks...

[zondaxD]

great vid :)

thx for upload

[gsofficial]

too bad, thought wang hao had it after he reached deuce at 3-2

[GecaPhoenix]

This is the match of the Year!:D

In my humble opinion more  than 70% of the best point of the Year are all concentrated in Asian Games and World Cup.

Amazing job,thanks ttCountenance:)

[marcii253]

@GecaPhoenix

dude

watch the final of the european championchips 2010 ... Boll vs Baum... thats the match of the year.. in this there r just some nice points.. watch Boll vs Baum and think about it ;)

[mdiv]

Ma Long is currently playing the most impossible, most ridiculous table tennis. I don't even know if he will still improve, but he is definitely too unreal to beat right now...

[TableTennisDaily]

world class upload!

[pgttkon]

Oh, it's funny.

Beggining BGM is "Sakura Sakura", which is the Japanese traditional song for a koto,though this competition was held in Guangzhou, China.

[TTMemo]

@pgttkon this competition called Asian Games

so what's wrong with that song?

[FengQQ]

王皓加油!!!!~~~~

[88keyboard]

he deserves to win =D

[crocolefou]

Ma Long is the best player nowadays !

[nitroteddy01]

I remember the times when Wang Hao used to pwn Ma Long :(

[roOstaz94]

Ma Long...little white shit! LOL

[nanoleks]

I've been waiting for your video.

Just perfect, as usual

Thanks!

[QuantumStates]

Excellent quality match and video.

[mdiv]

I can't breath. 

[serginho29]

I can beat both

[deepintention]

you're the man for uploading this already; much appreciated

[DiaboloJuggler]

Ma Long is the best player since tabletennis was invented

[ZingyDNA]

@DiaboloJuggler That's a bit of a stretch... I mean at least wait until he gets a world or Olympics singles title... He hasn't even won the world cup yet.

[Tek101]

@DiaboloJuggler lies Jan-Ove Waldner will forever be the greatest

[sallom899]

Sick game! first set Wang Hao won in great style, if there is anything I hate about this match then it is his loss!

[jwzhu]

4:35 who are these guys? the Japanese team?

[bassflyerhomie]

@jwzhu yep

[17teacmrocks]

@jwzhu yes

[sallom899]

@jwzhu I think Kishikawa is in the middle (assuming I can spell his name right!)

[simpanz]

@jwzhu yes, from left sits Matsudaira, Kishikawa, one guy I don't recognise ;) and Koki Niwa

[BollForte94]

LOl what a game ;)

[billalphonso79]

great quality!thanks!

[scylla24]

I definitely like Ma Long better than Wang Hao, if for no reason other than the fact that he plays shakehand like me, but it kind of sucks for Wang Hao, that once again he is a silver medalist at an International Games.... at least its not as bad as getting 2nd at the Olympics....

[TabletennisDavid]

@scylla24 don't worry, wang has already achieved one great title, ma long hasn't :b

[simpanz]

@scylla24 Try penhold. You will understand how insane Wang Hao's RPB is and maybe start liking him more ;)

Although it's great that WH is back, I was more rooting for Ma Long. This is the confidence boost he was looking for.

BTW did anyone see Mizutani-WH sf? according to the ITTF site it was quite a wipe-out...

[scylla24]

@simpanz well I actually used to play penhold, and my RPB is actually pretty decent.... better than anyone's i have every played against in the US... which isn't saying much.... haha, its really good for short game when you switch from back spin to top spin play, you can get a lot more spin in that shot that most people are used to.

I like Wang Hao's playstyle, I just dont like him for other reasons. yeah, in the mizutani game, his spin was too great, for him to block it back, so he got owned

[Kakashinoor]

Finally some Chinese games!

[TheAdvancedcrew]

LOVE THE SLOW-MO. GREAT PERFORMANCE FROM BOTH OF THEM

[lolol801]

Both players were under huge pressure. Both didn't play to their potential

[eps0n]

wang hao lost the last point exactly like ma long lost the last point in the national games in 2009 ...

[eps0n]

look the last point , that exactly how ma long lost the game in 2009 asian games...

[janus1000]

GREAT MUCH, GREAT EDITOR!!!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!

[XxsupergluexX]

Ma Long's right arm looks huge at 7:29

[KripkeSaul]

Thanks to all! I appreciate the props! And yes, I want a cookie!

[TabletennisDavid]

@KripkeSaul :)

Ma Long deserved it but I'm glad that Wang Hao is finally back at the top!

[citylida]

2nd? Wang Hao is coming back!!!

[eps0n]

lol :D

[KripkeSaul]

First?

[TabletennisDavid]

@KripkeSaul Yes, do you want a cookie?

[Fancitalk]

@KripkeSaul Gratz huge achievement
