Ma Long starts to play passive like Waldner. He likes to push and block or contratack. If you look at china open vs fzd 1.game He pushes a lot and let Fzd to attack, He was lucky in 2.game and won. IT did not work with HT. If you look 5 years ago or wttc 2015, even Rio Olympics, he did not let oponent to attack,He tried to open up first, now he becomes more passive like Waldner. He is not fired up at the start and add more steam when he has to, but with HT was too late
