Great game, honestly not sure what to take out of it. Ma Long more composed from game 4 onwards where every game must win. I've always said it, hardest blow to do it's the knock out one.
I think guys like Ma Long when required can go extra gears, unique trait and I've seen it before with players at lower level. Top level Harimoto has to throw heaps more variation, not sure advice coaching was giving him later stages of the match but didn't appear effective.
Hopefully Harimoto learns and can go on and do well at Grand Finals and Macau.
