All of which are hidden and highly illegal.

Nothing illegal happened

Liu Guoliang was training the receiving skills of Ma Long. Do you call multiball feeding illegal as well, since the ball isn't correctly served?

I think it is quite interesting, why they decided to train like this. I only can assume, as to why. My guess is, that by hiding the serves ML would have no, or let's say less, clues about the placement and spin of the serves before the ball comes towards him. He has to watch the bounce and curvature/arch of the serve much more focused and in detail to guess the spin. This takes a lot more effort and concentration. By this he has less time to react and he has to decide, adapt and then move much quicker.
A really nice way, to sharpen the receiving skills, if it is like I have stated.

I think that it is OK for practice and even beneficial. If you can return the illegal ones well, the legal serves will be a piece of cake.

ML succeeded @ 3 out of 5 serves approximately. pretty good for hidden serves. LGL was only beatable by the chinese and the swedes (after he crushed waldner and persson several times, they finally adapted to his serves, he had like 4 straight wins against waldner before waldner finally learned how to play him)

We can see know why ITTF wanted the hidden serves to be banned.

he makes persson look like an amateur. his serves are just too unpredictable and deceptive to understand even for a world class player like jorgen

Even if they are illegal, you have to remember he played during the era where serving with your arm was legal at the time. I am assuming he has not adjusted to removing his arm yet and it has been a while since he has played.

Haha that's true. I think they are training on looking on the spin of the ball.
