2015 WTTC MS-R32 Ma Long - Panagiotis Gionis (full match|short form in HD)

[@lildavey09]

Gionis is a class act, man. What a relaxed, talented, creative, fun player to watch. Much respect.

[@freaki0734]

@Mario H If it was at all possible to compensate a lack of talent with playing as a defender we would see more than the maybe 2 defenders we have in the top 100 players stop being salty because you lost to a defender once because you suck lol

[@ZaenalAbidin-ws1uk]

He just medioker

[@dummy9517]

Yes, straight up.​@@ZaenalAbidin-ws1uk

[@SamutSariIrenejLlamas]

He didn't play bad too... The Dragon is just too good with his third ball attacks

[@哥真理]

4:16 what a fake motion by malong wow

[@Neoptolemus]

For non greeks at 9:00 the coach say be soft he has quality. You are nervous.

[@mariusscheijgrond9061]

ty

[@Galimah]

guy in red t-shirt must be quite good. he beat one of europes best choppers

[@Aznstyle14]

He is world nr 1 ;D he's a quite perfect ☺️

[@xpelos]

+Galimah Yes...the guy in red t-shirt is almost good player as I am... (hahahaha! I think Ma Long is the best player ever seen in table tennis! and by now #1 in the world)

[@GOLDTRADINGSTRATEGIES]

+Galimah Don't you know Ma Long??????

[@bbd7902]

+Galimah trying to be funny ah?

[@Galimah]

bbd failed big huh?

[@-danR]

9:02 Gionis' coach is _huge_ .

[@dummy9517]

He is standing on an elevated platform

[@TheVampB]

I think Coach Liu Guoliang should have received some sort of warning for giving instructions at 3:50 ...

[@minsin5595]

+TheVampB Just curious, what did he say?

[@TheVampB]

+Min Sin I think he said:" Serve short to his forehand."

[@TheVampB]

+Min Sin Which Ma Long didn't even listen to. Lol

[@minsin5595]

+TheVampB I see, thanks!

[@ijnkongo25]

I think Liu Guoliang hinted Ma Long to serve short at Gionis's forehand at 3:56. Emmm

[@ijnkongo25]

3:50 actually

[@user-ns3si7hw1t]

I've read all the rules. If the advices are given during the game (not the rally) and it doesn't disturb the flow of the game it is legal.

[@d.r.5402]

I somewhat like how Ma Long struggles here with Gionis style (although he wins pretty straight forward). Gives me so much hope for my own game.

[@danielmltu]

Mario H did you really lose to a defender that badly?

[@ChessArmyCommander]

@Aspen You need to do a little research about the modern defensive style. The sky's the limit with it. The only reason they don't win the WTTC is because its easier to be an attacking player. Its much harder to win as a chopper. But make no mistake, if a chopper with a monster forehand can make it to the finals of a WTTC without being too tired, they can win.

[@VALVEamp18]

Ma Long the KING!!!! :)

[@thoreric86]

one thing that the chinese player shows to me/us is that consistency is still the most crucial which can only be obtained through training, really...

[@BraxtonWilhelmsen]

Wow, so luxurious. Wearing a metal watch while playing.

[@michaeldoe4805]

Maybe an old school defender's tradition to wear a watch? Since they had to keep track of time because of the expedite rules. But he is a modern attacking defender, so expedite wouldn't be a concern for him.

[@malouxou.pa2012]

thanks...

[@Syvmana]

I can never return a chop that good.

[@nikogeorgiafentis7450]

why was the first point awarded to china? Gionis got it on the table 0:00

[@mr.mister2354]

It was corrected afterwards.

[@peterberanek7048]

If Gionis wins the 1st set, which was quite possible, I'm pretty sure he had won another set and lose 2:4. Nice match.

[@АлишерМакашев-ж1ш]

why doesn't panagiotis chop when the ball goes to his forehand? This passive forehand drive with slight top spin or whatever this is ain't effective at all

[@d.r.5402]

He would have to switch racket sides all the time (something hard to do when you are right in the center, cause you'd have to decide). It's just to keep the ball in play.

[@АлишерМакашев-ж1ш]

David Richter I have just noticed that Joo Se Hyuk chops by both sides, with pimples on backhand and standard smooth rubber on forehand. I thought Panagiotis could do the same

[@곡현]

Алишер Макашев That's Panagiotis's style. He does chop when using back side but usually attacks when using forehand side. I remember a person whose style is like him is called 'a Modern Defender' (I'm not sure.)

[@user-ns3si7hw1t]

I think that’s because he was trying to diverse the spin, making the opponent confuses.

[@ElPuduJugueton1313]

Tall players can't make the competitive forehand chop

[@motgarbob7551]

Bro hes wearing a watch while playing lmao

[@zajtsohmoob3232]

Why the score on the screen often wrong?, wake up.

[@Melocrat]

Playing with number one without backhand atack - no way!😆

[@이상영-e8r]

초반에 그리스분이 다 2점 땄는데 왜 마롱이 점수를 득점하는거죠?

[@philippelepage1609]

0:48 Gionis , u should move your legs not your arm, remember your first lessons ! 6:00 the only stroke won by Gionis with a back side attack !

[@dhdagaming3888]

Godt spil

[@Đaiuytv-kienthucgiaya4777]

Có ai Việt Nam xem không ạ.

[@khoile2417]

Gionis could have taken the 1st game if he stuck to the game plan - brother was feeling himself too much and start attacking too crazy

[@ytom4126]

Why had Giois been grinning all time？lol

[@ΓιώργοςΖαρου]

He is Greek. :)

[@ИгорьГейнце-п4о]

Ма Лонг по защите очень хорошо играет

[@LCRedemption]

patagonia has a weak left leg

[@texno5440]

проти ма лонг він просто любитель

[@MichaelCheng628]

the scoring system is fucked. switch the nations flags

[@xristospardalis5424]

Re mounakia

[@quynhnguyenngoc410]

Người TQ giỏi bóng bàn bao nhiêu thì dốt bóng đá bấy nhiêu ? Thế mới lạ !

[@abdullahjalil3683]

Gionis really need to learn forehand chop from korean player

[@dummy9517]

Very poor performance by Gionis. It should be punishable to perform this badly at international level

[@helloworld6228]

Frame rate is horrible... I don't know how you people watch it like this

[@kylekuzma4566]

that white guy is too tall for Ping Pong

[@Falquiboy]

he obviously isn't because he is playing it professionally haha. makes absolutely no sense

[@peytonglass745]

Lebron James Jr. Shut up you idiot

[@nikogeorgiafentis7450]

he is not white LOL he is Greek.

[@SenorCollarbone]

wtf? you know Greeks are white right?

[@helloworld6228]

No... Greeks are Greeks and whites are whites
