Chinese Superleague 2011: Timo Boll-Zhang Jike (Semifinal) // Zhang Jike gets injured

[WayWereY]

The way Zhang Jike spread his legs are so sexy! I want to hold him and kiss every inch of his hot body!

[IseeYouNewb]

@WayWereY i hope u are a girl...

[WayWereY]

3:25 is he wearing anything under his shorts?

[WayWereY]

3:55 Zhang is so hot! Looks like he is not wearing underwear :-)

[dabeast2411]

and finally Liu Guoliang arrives....LIKE A BOSS!

[Re1Mu2R3]

Can someone please explain the "Zhang Jike plays like Kong Linghui" thing everyone keeps saying??

Isn't it more like "EVERY right-handed SH player plays like Kong Linghui?"

[TheWillerbazz]

timo in china ? isnt he playing in the german league no more ?

[555Jimson666]

not used to seeing timo with such a shirt ;D

[Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh]

Speed glue on the thigh lol

[DaKrazedKyubizt]

He's still ridiculously dangerous with a hurt leg. Wow.

[jpctc2008]

咦？波尔怎么穿中国队的衣服了？？。

[josuecochi]

mejor es retirarse a tiempo antes de lesionarse más.

[RythmSkills]

forfeited Leg Hurts:)

[srajban]

whats with zhang ,he seems so willless

[lccansmd]

@srajban he has a fucked up leg wat do u expect..

[danmaaa]

Hey can u check out my ping pong videos? I just started making them.

[DimaKats2]

what a huge foot

[DACO477]

BOLL МОЛОДЕЦ !

[mcgcarlos]

Does Timo play for China already?

[Ternis3]

It's always sad to see a game forfeit due to injury :-( I wanted to see them duke it out :-P

[lupzhero]

All table tennis players need their lower bodies and legs to drive the ball up

Zhang's injury prevented from doing any of that

Nearly as bad as injuring your playing wrist

[LookB3hindU]

@lupzhero I disagree. You can always tape up the wrist and use your forearm. Without your hamstrings or quads you can't move, loop, transfer energy into the ball, bend low, serve properly, etc etc. A lot of people take for granted how much a proper table tennis player uses their legs. Aside from possibly a back injury, injuring your leg is the worst injury I know of.

[suitewafa]

* feel

[suitewafa]

i can fil d pain...awp...

is he okay now?

[TyRafferty]

wow, what a first game.

[TheKarub1]

how did he get hurt ?

[qingian]

timo def. got better playing vs the chinese.

[SanJyuuKyuu]

@qingian Absolutely not ... He became less self-confident and has a ratio of 8:6 which is bad for a top-5 player !

[sunie1785]

seems like he can't stomp his left feet too hard.in previous match against ma lin,there's a time he kinda injured his knee or something when he jumped/stomp.

[pokemon17007]

so sad Zhang got injury :(

what is the red thing on Zhang's leg for?

[LookB3hindU]

@pokemon17007 That's a more easier to use knee brace. A lot of injuries to the knee are from the tendons around it and the acl itself. So by tightening them to the bone the knee doesn't inflict pain.

[megaassgas]

amazing first set

[Volsfan21]

this is nothing against ping pong i play every night till like 4 am... but how do you get hurt... seriously?

[spifo]

@Volsfan21Pushing to inhuman extreme limits while training like them takes its toll sometimes. Probably his leg's muscle got overworked or something ... dunno.

[NightcruiserMA]

@Volsfan21 You're playing ping-pong. They're playing professional table tennis. Big, big difference my friend.

[TyRafferty]

@Volsfan21 he could have easily strained it some other day and just reaggravated something. It takes more agility to play table tennis at this level than ping pong with some hard bats.

[LookB3hindU]

@Volsfan21 You don't know how much they train. You say you play ping pong til 4AM every night so I'm assuming you start playing at or around midnight. So that leaves around 4-5 hours I'm guessing that you play at maximum. Zhang will play that much in drills alone, not to mention cardio, weight/flex training, agility training with suspension cables and medicine balls. And that's just in one day's work. He does several other things all for 60+ hours a week. Nuff said?

[TonyVictor96]

@Volsfan21 there is a big difference between ping pong and table tennis

[Volsfan21]

@TonyVictor96 oh yeah definitely im so sorry

[TonyVictor96]

@Volsfan21 ping pong is hitting a ball with a wood paddle and making it go ping-pong

table tennis is a real sport with tactics equipment practice etc

[IseeYouNewb]

@Volsfan21 back injuries are common since u really are in a bad stance for your back.

you can not compare professional training at this level with ours :)

[ImprovinMyGame]

Two of my favorite players... That's really too bad :( Hopefully, Zhang will heal quickly from whatever this injury is. Well-wishes to the World Champ!

[LookB3hindU]

@ImprovinMyGame I'm fairly sure this is an old injury. He was on the injury list before I think with the same problem.

[ImprovinMyGame]

@LookB3hindU Thanks for the info. Is there really a list that keeps track of injury status of players? If so, please direct me to it. It's a bit of information I like to keep track of such as in cases like Michael Maze's and Ma Long's last year. Thanks :)

[lastxp]

Man that sux

[Thepingpongplaya]

Timo's only lucky...

[spifo]

@Thepingpongplaya ye imo Zhang would've crushed him as he usually does with his brute force play.

Sadly we won't see this match. I hope he gets better soon.

[perniciousnc]

zhang jike got injured in first set 4:3 point, n he could still play until 20:18 without moving using his offense in both wings.... damn lol really sad zhang is the best player in league imo right now considering age potential skills mentality

timo win loss ratio is 8:6 not looking good really, noticable wins: chenqi, yan an, fang bo, losses: zhangchao zhangjike fangbo wanghao...

ZHANG JIKE DONT DIE YET PLS HAHAHA WE LUV U

[virtuososiu]

poor zhang >w<"

[braquemar]

Put some tiger balm on it he'll be ok.

[jperssonisthebest]

i feel so sad for zhang :(

[pwnage696969]

@jperssonisthebest me too but what actually happened to his leg?

[jperssonisthebest]

@pwnage696969 old injury i think

[ShottySniperz401]

Is this current? Or are these matches that were played like years ago?

[krey1512]

@ShottySniperz401 Just see at the final of this video!!! 2011 361 China Table Tennis Club Super League

[useurcamera]

@ShottySniperz401 the description says...

able Tennis: Chinese Superleague 2011 Semifinal - Timo Boll (GER) - Zhang Jike (CHN), Aug 10th 2011 // Zhang Jike gets injured

[ShottySniperz401]

@useurcamera Oh ok. Thanks

[jed424]

老虎贴！

[SSJ5VegetaV4]

Has Timo Boll won any matches prior to this? I feel as if he has lost everything with great margin, like that 3-0 match against Fang Bo. How did he manage to get to the finals still? =P

And a shame with Jike's injury. That might be the reason Timo managed to play way more accurate than lately: the tempo was just more relentful.

[themoonierammus]

@SSJ5VegetaV4 this isnt singles, its a league, hes in a team called czb, they play 5 games and the overal score from each game played decides who wins, if u watch till end u see the team overal scores, timo boll did bad for his team but his teamates won most of the games,i dont know if u misunderstood or u already know but meh timo isnt playing well at all but his teammates are winning their games meaning his team is in the finals

[lesliefrancs]

@SSJ5VegetaV4 He actually won against Fang Bo in this superleague once. As well as winning against WJJ.

[LookB3hindU]

@SSJ5VegetaV4 The finals is based by team I believe not personal efforts. When you check the scores you can see the match ups from two categories.

[MrJonas04]

lol, 20:18 :D

[CrawSpecificated]

China can not stay preventing their players from injuries...they train so much and their road to the top is so heavy that there are some players that get injured. Ma Long has been injured, Ma Lin's back, now Zhang Jike...

[maplelegend1]

zhang jike's panda eyes still make me smile :D

[grimrepo941]

what a pity :(

[leankints]

the title scared me
