This was one of the most succinct, thorough, and accurate analysis videos I've seen. Very well done!

cant believe you have that less subscribers, as a chinese myself playing on professional level, i find this video so accurate and make sense

Xu Xin actually made a video about this game. He said exactly the same😂 The last time Ma Long made a backhand serve was 3 years ago

Ma Long after losing 3 straight sets. "I'm going to backhand serve my way to victory."

please break down mang chuqin malong 4-0. well done video

Ma Long doesn't need any coach he knows table tennis better than the coach and could be a coach later himself

Ma Long The Dragon! The Captain! The Dictator! The Hexagon Warrior! The Most Complete Player! The Master of All Techniques and Tactics! The Walking Table Tennis Textbook! The Genius! The King of Epic Plays! The Winning Machine! The Record Breaker! The History Maker! The Most Accomplished Table Tennis Player! The Table Tennis GOAT!

Insane game.

Ma Long is super!

Very nice video, could you also make one about the match vs wang chuqin? I am really interested in your thoughts about it :)

There is also one more element, which was especially visible against Wang Chiqin: Ma Long was very relaxed, while his opponents were tense, they were repeatedly overdoing with their shots, playing too strong, as Ma Long didn't "want to miss" and often missed themselves. Ma was under no pressure to prove anything and this also paid off. One more element playing some role was also Lin's psyche, It's not the first time he's struggled with the problem of closing a match, and years later it still haunts him. I think this is the main reason he will never be considered by the Chinese coaches as the first choice for their team in the greatest tournaments.

Excellent analyze. Thanks for uploading.

Impressive victory from the champ. I really enjoyed this video, your style is easy to understand and not obnoxious.

Please more of these Videos! So useful. Thank you!

its so accurate❤ subscribed

1:04 Ma Long's fh top spin movement starts with the racket low and back, and the shoulders rotated 90°.

it was not just the backhand serve he introduced but also the backhand slam: finishing ralleys with straight backhand shots. So Ma Long did during the game what Lin did after the serve: reverting to backhand. Although Ma Long did this more in the game against Wang in semis

Great video thanks

😘😍😎Dragon Legend Captain Ma Long🎉😂❤

Very interesting, great format!

These tactics are the same I’ve been telling players I coach when they play against a left handed player (or lefty verse righty), and is something I wish ma long did, and I’m glad he did. The biggest advantage is short forehand wide backhand. It’s the furthest to cover in the table.

Good job man, great analysis

Best analysis. To the point and no rubbish talk

Excellent analysis

At around 0:30 you said that Ma long takes his first singels worldcup title but this is his third singels world cup title. He won in 2012,2015 and now in 2024.

Ma Long has captured two World Cup Singles Champion twice before this year, so this is not his first.

great video

Not dissimilar in his change of strategy against FzD in the 2017 world championship. Absolute master class.

he changed his usual game in the semi against wang from the beginning on !!!!

Ma Long❤❤🎉🎉🏓🏓

Was great match

Ma Long's blocking game reminds me a lot of Waldner.

Lol I though ma long doing some zesty ahh crossing ballet leg thing in the thumbnail

Great analysis. But I don't understand why would BH serve make a difference, he was generating the same kind of spin with reverse pendulum (side spin in the direction of Lin's BH side). Why doesn't reverse pendulum allow him to stay away from the table to receive Lin's banana flick? He can also hide the backspin or topspin in both of the serves, so I don't get it how could that possibly help him?

refreshing... finally someone who analyzed it correctly. U have good understanding of the game, just like myself

First world cup title?? This his third win of world cup bro

Nice clip but the analysis is wrong. Lin Guan and Wong Shuqin are two different players with different equipment. Wong Shuqin has a hard racket and rubbers like Ma Long's which are suitable for strong hits, Ma Long was able to beat Wong Shuqin (world num 1)in a match of strong hits so age has nothing to do with it. Lin Giuang plays with softer equipment that is suitable for weaker balls and closer to the table, similar to a girls' game where they play a fast but not strong exchange of shots, therefore it was difficult for Ma Long to match Lin Giuang's relatively weak pace, certainly after two games with a strong pace shoots against Wang Shuqin and felicis Lebron. Ma Long played exactly in the classical Chinese style that requires adaptation to the game situation after he understands it while playing. It's a shame that people are not aware of the different types of equipment and their effect on the game. Other than that it's a beautiful video

I think it’s a load of BS. Ma Long really wanted to win because it’s been a long time since the final wasn’t FZD or WCQ. Sure there were few plays where he was just blocking but this has been the most aggressive play from ML in a long time. He plays almost like a young ML with the occasional rest in between because he’s freaking old.

Considering who he won against, it really isn't as impressive. Lin Gaoyuan is pretty well known for choking when closing out games.
