Is Zhang Jike scared of Ma Long?

[bricephan]

No, he can't. He was not under pressure in Final of Kuwait open and lost to ZJK. He was not under pressure In first round of 2012 CTTSL and lost to ZJK. He was not under pressure in final of Korea open and lost to Xu Xin.
Zhang Jike's losses are because lake of motivation not because he can't win.

This argument is so biased... You are listing here a few loses of Ma Long against his main opponents (ZJK and Xu Xin) and say "he was not under pressure" and "he can't win", but totally ignore his match records against those.
In table tennis, I believe there is always some stable and consistent results, it is what its supposed to be. Not only the mentality plays a key role at world class level but also the skills (+style) are definitely crucial.
No matter what you say, the fact is ZJK can win Wang Hao in both pro and major tourneys because, I can say, ZJK's style is comfortable to play WH (I can explain why I think so if you wanna bring this claim in further). Likewise, Ma Long wins against ZJK many more than ZJK does in turn in pro tours, simply because ML's technique is all ways better than ZJK. Therefore, IF Ma Long got a chance to play against ZJK in major tourneys, he would be able to crush ZJK's victory.

You can't say "ML's technique is all ways better than ZJK". ZJK's technique improved SO MUCH in past 2 or 3 years so ML's technique WAS better than ZJK.
Also records in 2012 and 2013 are 3:2 in favor of ZJK. ZJK beat ML in CTTSL, Slovenia open and in Kuwait open. ML beat ZJK in trails for WTTC and in Asian championships.
If Ma Long got a chance to play ZJK in a major tournament then ZJK will beat him easily. Just wait until world cup or the final of China National Games and you will see the results.
