That first point was coaching genius or tactical adjustment from LJK. Just blocking!

Come on LJK, stop attacking!

Respect to Koki Niwa, kudos to Liang Jingkun. Strong LJK performance in the seventh!

 

[Sali]

Great match. Didn't quite expect that performance from Niwa. definitely the best we have seen him play since 2017, maybe even his best performance ever? In any case, Niwa is the best Japanese at the WTTC again. (and Hirano is the best female japanese player again as well, together with Kato)

I wouldn't be so quick to say that, last time Liang Jingkun played Ma Long he was 2-0 up and 10-9 in the third. He can definitely put up a fight and he's in great shape at this WTTC.

 

[RidTheKid]

I agree. I have sensed for a while that LJK is the one who's gonna dethrown Ma Long eventually. He's not as complete as Ma Long but he can really cause some disturbance in the force.

Yes, everything you say is correct. But have you seen Ma Long play so far this tournament?

Ma Long's in top shape, no doubt about that, but so is Liang Jingkun. He just swept aside Fan Zhendong, Ma Long could be next.

We have to remember that LJK came a close second in Marvellous 12. But I dont think LJK can go through dragon this time. 2021 wttc may be a different ball game.

 

[RidTheKid]

That semi-final is gonna be fireworks

Ma Long's in top shape, no doubt about that, but so is Liang Jingkun. He just swept aside Fan Zhendong, Ma Long could be next.

In TT a day can be a long time. Today's ML and today's LJK may not be tomorrow's.

Matchups are matchups, scores are not matchups. Ma Long's backhand is going to be under severe pressure like FZD's and LJK has the most stable backhand blocking game in CNT. Don't take Ma Long killing one CNT player to imply he will beat another.

PS: Yoass said it best, everyone's game changes from day to day and matchup to matchup.

what a memorable match from NIWA !!! i feel so sad, but he really gave it all. Little to regret.

He is the magnificent loser once again

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]
