They clearly had problems, Liang bought them time but the problems are still real. And I think Liang's performance (or the opponents instability, depending on your perspective) masked a lot of instability from other players. That said, it will be hard to bet against them unless Coton, Felix...

Yet Wang was doing almost the same exact thing when his teammates were losing in the prelims. .I think sometimes we act as if a player projecting disappointment or even anger when his teammate misses is something bad.

Quality isnt the only definition of spin and spin variation. You need to use the spin to stay consistent. You also don't need that much of a backswing to generate spin, a lot of it is using the fingers to make the right kind of contact.

Liang pivots quite a bit, their backhand quality is also a factor in this as they both have two of the best backhands in the world.

Harinoto has always played a game that one would call a woman's game. Anyone who holds the table and dominates the backhand diagonal is mostly playing the Women's game. It becomes pronounced when he plays Liang because Liang who doesn't play the Women's game is able to hold the table and...

But it also reflects the limitations od the coach. If the coach has tactical wisdom, the player will learn to shut up and listen. The player is okay sharing what he sees but a good coach is also insightful enough to share something. I am not a fan of the early timeout to break the streak, I...

You need tp watch more LJK vs TH then, this was no different from the many prior editions.

While I am disappointed, Ultimately I am happy for him. Probably the most ridiculously criticized player for all rhe wrong reasons by armchair experts. That you reverse 3-0 Alexis and Tomo in back to back games is impressive. Those kids must havw scheduled sessions with their psychologists...

True, but it is hard to overreact when your #1 chokes. Just like Alexis yesterday and juat like when he lost to Iran (Alamian), he ruined the team. The worst thing was the way he did it. If he had been outplayed completely, the team would have been ready to fight. But the way he lost, he...

This is a really confused statement when Liang Jingkun is reputed to be the heaviest spin player on the CNT. The spin no longer wins points directly as often, it juat keeps you extremely consistent under pressure.

I dont know about the "not gods" part to be honest lol....

Neither match was comfortable. But in a sense, he can claim victory. Japan, France and China will never fool me again.

It is like the rest of the world is just worse than China to a degree that is unimaginable. Hard to draw any other conclusions from the pathetic displays... going to be a rough week...

The plot armor says no.

I have concluded that the table tennis deities will never let that happen. I really shouldn't have watched this match.

Togami about to play the biggest match of his life. Can he at least save his reputation?

Like I said the plot armor is unbelievable.

The plot armor is just too strong.... but Sora is fighting.... respect to the kid.

Can Sora and Togami save Japan?

Legendary.
