    Sanity is greatly underrated in these days of Covid19.
  2. Adam Bobrow vs World no. 7 Lin Yun-Ju

    Yeah I once told people that I felt he hits a higher quality ball than Lin Gaoyuan. You look at his build and you would never believe it but you can see the trouble his opponents have with his spin level. I also found the video excerpt of his weight training interesting. It looked like Fido...

    To be a bit imaginative, Lord Mizutani has a chance as well. It is a tiny chance but he has a victory over Xu Xin and can play at the relevant level.
  5. CNT's Mock Olympics

    Thanks for the detailed analysis. I understood the strategy when I saw the full pairings. The problem is that you need to get your best player in singles in early (Liang) and I guess his being the only righty in the team made him hard to fit into the dual match slot. But delaying him until...

    Maybe only Wang wanted to play Ma Long. I don't blame the others for being so scared lol. Ma Long was fire today!
  7. CNT's Mock Olympics

    Wang Chuqin pushed a lot of half-long serves into the forehand - he must have believed the hype of Ma Long's serve. Yet the two times he looped the serves in the game I remember, he won the point. I suspect his inability to read serve length is only exploitable by CNT.

    Finally one game lives up to the hype!

    Anyone have the match order? MAybe they wanted WCQ vs ML in match 3 and FZD vs LJK in match 4...
  11. CNT's Mock Olympics

    Looks like a typical CNT propaganda move to boost the ego of the main team... on a more serious note, this will defy explanation if LGY loses to FZD as well...
  12. CNT's Mock Olympics

    Wow, they put Wang Chuqin in the doubles match! Talk about an immediate curve ball!
  13. CNT's Mock Olympics

    I don't see XX playing before ML if the goal is to win as much as possible. I also don't see LGY playing before LJK - you want your best players to play early unless the order prevents it. But who knows.... but the 3rd match for me is ML vs LJK... 4th match FZD vs LGY... 5th match is XX vs...

    This Japanese Men's team is 10 times as strong as the real thing. I am really excited about the possibilities of Ma Long vs Liang Jingkun and Fan Zhendong vs Wang Chuqin. Though if Fan plays doubles, it could be Ma vs Wang and Fan vs Liang.

    https://youtu.be/Wkvt68gImTU https://youtu.be/xCDzN5l5bso Maybe 2200 is too high but 2100 + for sure.
  16. Adam Bobrow vs World no. 7 Lin Yun-Ju

    I'm fine with whatever Bobrow does - he already does some of that and he does a lot of that for ITTF already. Without any insight into who his sponsoring his trips or his channel, and since I am not paying for it, I just want to enjoy it. Even with Dan's reviews, he could also play those pros...
  17. Adam Bobrow vs World no. 7 Lin Yun-Ju

    I think you confuse playing level with trouble. An adult 2200 player playing in straight forward style would have a different issue playing with these kids. But if you think Adam isn't making the kids hesitate with his style that is your prerogative. My experience playing tells me a very...
  18. Adam Bobrow vs World no. 7 Lin Yun-Ju

    The pros would beat just about any player at Adam's level half assed smashing and dropshotting and we see this all the time when Dan plays them in equipment reviews. That is just as repetitive and we don't hear you complain there. So this is something else. All those things you mention are...
  19. CNT's Mock Olympics

    That was the most dominating performance from the dictator so far. Very impressive.
  20. Adam Bobrow vs World no. 7 Lin Yun-Ju

    Guys, let's remember that he is going to play more matches with Lin Yun Ju's training team and then with Lin Yun Ju at full strength. And Bobrow has many videos of his matches before he got to 2200 - he has always been a lobber/Fisher with the occasional direct loop thrown in. For me it...
