Ma Long vs Liang Jingkun | 2019 World Championships Highlights (1/2)

3:12 OMG!!!!! THAT is why Ma Long is the best of all time! 💪

[@HarisAftab]

Probably the best forehand ever of a table tennis player. MA has the nerves of steel on big points.

[@pingsunday]

Liu Guoliang once said, "Today, the player who has the best knowledge in the game is Ma Long.". It's so true! He is no doubt the Best table tennis players of all time. In the next 50 years, there is no one can match this level of Ma Long for sure. I have explained it here: pingsunday.com/greatest-table-tennis-players-in-the-world/ At the age of 30 years old, which is at the falling stage of a career, but Ma Long's game is so beautiful than ever. While Zhang Jike can't keep up with the new trend, Fan Zhendong, Lin Gaoyuan, Harimoto is on the rising stage. The Dragon shows how beautiful, table tennis, and table tennis tactics are. Some players just say "Oh, Ma Long is so strong. Because his forehand is so strong.". No! Not only his forehand but his variation, his service, match reading, his mentality, his chop block, his backhand control, is the best of the best. He is not the fastest. He is not the strongest. But he is the most intelligent player, right now. I don't like that Adam Bobrow just calls him "dictator, dictator", just simply call him "Ma Long". And explain why he is the best. Calling him "dictator, dictator" all the time is boring. This Tokyo 2020 is his last Olympics, but for me, Ma Long's style and intelligence show the true beauty of this sport. Thank you, Ma Long.

[@firefist4547]

Ma Long once again proving he is the best of all time.

[@TheRafaelBond]

LJK was the sternest test yet, but ML, GOAT of GOAT's he is, simply upped the level even further. This was the first Superhero match. Two Chinese players at their max. Bit reminiscent ML/FB 2015. Ma in full flow. A beautiful, inhuman sight. The only athlete alive resembling perfection. Adam did a great job analyzing this match and Ma.

[@keyboardrambo]

I personally didn't feel like LJK was at his best. He did set Ma Long on fire though with the resistance he put up, which speaks for how good a player LJK is. But he himself did not look as confident as I have seen him be. Nothing was particularly wrong with him, just he wasn't on fire the way Ma Long was.

[@TheRafaelBond]

@Lonestar Papa There is zero resemblance. What makes you say this? ML is the GOAT. Kobe never was the best player in basketball any single year but 2008.

I wanted LJK to win so bad..but the thought of 3 straight WTTC champion excites me a lot. Unless Mattias pimple and backhand his way to victory (with Pearson assisting), there is no one to stop the dragon from taking his 3 consecutive titles. Go Ma long!

[@raga4ka]

I was rooting for Liang, but Ma Long for all his hard work in table tennis deserves the title of the greatest of all time or at least in this modern era of table tennis. He has competed against great players like Ma Lin, Wang Liqin, Wang Hao, Zhang Jike, Xu Xin, and now the new generation of Lin Gaoyuan, Liang JingKun and Fan Zhendong, and has a positive record against all of them. China has so many talented and hard working players it makes me sad that just a few of them would become world champions. After that South Korea and Japan impress me in their commitment in cultivating young talent. Europe seems to lack way behind in cultivating young talented players with only Sweden giving the chance to younger players... In the time that China changed 3 generations of players from Kong Linghui and Liu Guoliang to Zhang Jike in the European scene I see the same names of Timo Ball and Vladimir Samsonov at the top. It doesn't speak well for the future of european table tennis...

[@MMMMMM1992J]

馬龍在2015年前真的不容易，雖然成績不錯，卻永遠把握不住大賽機會，在他面前總有王皓張繼科，他自己也一度承認想放棄想退役，覺得打球好沒意思，感覺現在的樊振東就有點像當年的馬龍，希望他也能像馬龍堅持下來。 如果馬龍當時放棄，也沒有現在像外掛一般的存在吧。

Agreed, Ma Long just lost the previous set so he was feeling the pressure. He lead the whole time until LJK came back with some impressive points, but Ma Long prevailed in the end. This brought him more confidence to win the match definitely. if he lost that set, LJK probably wouldn't have been as nervous as he was in key moments.

Massive luck for LJK with the edge ball at 11-10 but still couldn't take down ML. ML is looking even better than he was in WTTC 2017. He is almost as good as he was in WTTC 2015. If ML win 4-0 in the final tomorrow, that will be the most impressive performance at WTTC since the 11 points scoring system adapted.

[@pham1020]

@@travelator3035 It's tough to say. ML in 2015 was also this impressive until the final and was only being challenged a little bit in the final by Fang Bo with some of the best rallies I've ever seen. If ML win the final easily like 4-0 or 4-1 then perhaps I would think his performance is better than in 2015.

The skills are pretty much the same or should I say the pre-2913 Ma Long had more power but the mental toughness is way off the chart in favor of today's Ma Long.
