The man in blue is not Wang Hao. That is Ma Lin. They already knew that the match was over, and wanted to put on a show for the audience before the match ended. It is not a "player rule/tradition" to smash in the direction of the opponent. That is a technique called targeting the "player's elbow" which forces them to make an off-balance shot. Obviously, though, Ma Lin would have hit a drop shot, had he wanted to win this point.
@PilotJohnSilver well as long as the ball keeps on hitting the other persons side as what vnneh said it did hit the right side each time
