2005 WTTC: Michael Maze - Wang Hao (full match|short form)

[@michaelmuller5489]

Michael Maze was a real force in his prime!

[@mindrover777]

He played out of his mind in 2005 wttc, his best performance

[@gustavobrzezinski434]

Legend Michael Maze, my favorite player, he deserved to win a WTTC

[@TheRafaelBond]

why did he "deserve" to win a WTTC?

[@IsareeNgamsirijit]

@@TheRafaelBond One of the most gifted players ever... Sadly, injuries and the hot headed temper made it hard for himself haha.

[@ericfelle2805]

AMAZING!!!!!!the lobs that maze does are awesome!

12:18 Liu said, use your brain, lol

[@邑智箕打]

1:09 noise　warning Maze is an amazing player !!

[@radoslavahorozova5465]

8:00 that moment when you don't know cry or laugh 😃

[@velekorunoski5997]

He just laughed a bit, but that defense from Michael was insane

[@robertrowles5450]

Have never seen Wang Hao so spooked. It's like Maze played on one weakness at the start, and then the rest of his game fell apart. The question is, did Maze ever beat him again?

[@lzhu12]

+Robert Rowles If my memory isn't wrong, Maze never beat him again . Maze is still good player :)

[@shanetang2273]

@@lzhu12 yeah Maze may not have so many achieves but his game is nearly all very entertaining with nearly all elements of table tennis

[@IgneelS11]

Also consider how modern Wang Hao's style was. His technique was years ahead of the rest of the world, when it comes to penholders. I think he ever lacked a bit of the mind game, so he kinda always was the silver guy at the OGs.

[@darrylkassle361]

@@IgneelS11 yeah Wang Hao was a great player but known for his mentaln weakness obviously at least to the Chinese At one point he did not want to play on and had a crisis of confidence. In fact Guoliang the coach dealt with it wisely just telling him to take it one game at a time but play your best there is NO PRESSURE and if U lose so be it It was great psychology because Guo could see the pressure was getting to him. In fact the statergy worked so well that Wang Hao went on to win the whole tournament[I can't recall which one but I am quite sure it was an one of the OLYMPIC GAMES. Unbelievable that I have forgotten well at least right now trying to remember. I will probably remember today later on some time]

[@Souleater_XXX]

@@darrylkassle361 Did you remember? Wang Hao never won any Olympic tournament

[@tonioyahn6898]

Humiliated in front of his crowd, especially on high balls. Thats feels good

[@convergency1068]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGqXnHiegZKLa6c and he got humiliated back with 2 dropshots and a high ball (which is s'posed to be his thing)

[@fabiorenam]

Wang perdeu 99% dos pontos em que atacou com smashes.

[@tomspice73]

Exactly

[@shanetang2273]

Although this game looks bizzare, it's indeed a good game, a wicked strategy

[@ВладимирГорчаков-к3т]

Maze - Super!

What's that ending? lol so nice Maze is really good. 9:59 Was that on purpose?

Michael Maze lobbing game was awesome! Unfortunately for him, Chinese learned how to play against lobs

[@mindrover777]

They still smash it u idiot. Do you know how difficult and risky it is to drop shot a lob

[@jankay8569]

Why do people always shit on Hao Shuai with his inability to kill lob shots but not WH when WH did even worse here against Maze's lobbing. Literately, WH lost all points where Maze was lobbing against him lol.

[@dickn.ormous1064]

He didn't lost only because of the lobs,he had troubles adjusting to Maze's lefty sidespin.

[@travelator3035]

Because Wang Hao recovered and moved on and became a top player while Hao Shuai’s career literally ended because of that match and he never could rise.

[@pingpongilove653]

This match was really shocking.

[@ChristianRouLund]

Det var en fremragende kamp. Det benarbejde og det imenente bold føling gjorde en verden til forskel. Maze spillede helt vild godt og nærmest drab sin modspiller til vanvid med de ballon bolde😁😁

[@CupcakesDeluxe]

and after this he came back and kicked hao shuai's ass haha

[@yaminerenri]

There was more creative players back then that could beat the Chinese but if these new European players keep looping from far away the Chinese see going to keep dominating the sport

[@andreialexandruparfeni7129]

romee cor What are they supposed to do? Defensive play was efficient in the 1970's, but today they would get blasted by loops and smashes.

[@ВладимирГорчаков-к3т]

Wow. Wang Hao has a poor forehand..

[@isithardtobevegan53]

MS.P that was at that point in time

[@michaelshaw7652]

Wang Hao played the worst game in his career. Ho got totally humiliated by Maze. Maze's high lob shots completely destroyed Wang's confidence. This match might be the only encounter Maze won, but he won in a big way.

[@duckgoduckgo]

idk why but i kinda dont like michael maze now

[@davesplatz]

What I don't like in general is when something is unconventional. I will have to get used to it to endure or even win a match, for example. Maybe that's your point. On the other hand he appears to be a little arrogant, which could be due to the high level and famousness he could celebrate in the European game.

[@duckgoduckgo]

probably. maze is still a good player lel

[@Kevin-zl3ci]

davesplatz he is very arogant. Its unbelievable how arogant he. And yes i am danish and i have met him
