I just love choppers. They make the ball look like its moving in slo mo and it takes a lot of skill to be able to do it when the opponent is slamming the ball at you so quickly.
Top players. Wonderful technique. Incredible shots. Hope there will always be players of the same magnitude/class in future for us table tennis lovers.
Did u all notice that faint smile @ 7:26! He is amazing man.. only Zhang and Wang Hao have mastered how to dispatch the worlds best defender so effortlessly!
Уверенная игра Жан Жаке по защите.Местами мне кажется ,что Он с Хьюком играет как кот с мышью.Надо отдать должное и Хьюку: отлично вытягивает,контратакует.Хотелось бы видеть больше активной игры от защитника.
Zhang Jike was injured back in the Hungarian Open, he was even going to stop it at the 2nd set, but he showed sportsmanship by not doing so. With all the respect I got for Joo, he can't really with Zhang.
@DaKrazedKyubizt He also uses more spin than Ma Long. It seems he actually has a ton of power but had some issues controlling it so he was trained to use more spin in his shots. If you watch Ma Long vs. ZJK matches, you'll see ZJK's loops kick and bounce a lot lower than Ma Long's.
@yogistyle92 they are called "provincial edition" , DHS Hurricane II and Skyline III are available as a Provincial Edition i think. they realy have special sponges and are only for sale for the chinese top athlets and table tennis clubs in china. but in some shops like eacheng"dot"net can you order them
@frickenbaba oh, and Zhang also prepares better for blocking Joo's random loops. He's a better blocker overall. And that last point... Zhang baited Joo REAL good. He was ready for that the whole time. The unusual amount of spin on Zhang's loop could also be attributed to the completely different physics of Chinese style rubber and Chinese looping style.
@jwzhu Yeah, those two are the two best players in the world by quite a margin. I would have to say that Ma Long is the stronger one of them, but interestingly, it is Zhang who has grabbed the most important titles (though Ma Long certainly has more titles overall).
I have always noticed that when joo does a chop with his forehand, it seems that the opponent can smash it easy unlike when he uses his backhand to chop, the opponent would have a harder time smashing it.. idk whats up with it. Is it that the forehand isn't for chopping or maybe its pimpled, idk
@frickenbaba Well, I think that may be one aspect of it. Boll's forehand is TOTALLY different from Zhang's for one. I think Boll actually enjoys a bit more spin than Zhang, but I would agree that Zhang's more powerful loops might have a bit more spin. But that's definitely not most of it. I'd say the biggest two problems Joo had with this game is that... 1) Zhang has FANTASTIC aim. 2) Zhang is a strategical genius. I don't think I've seen smarter play from a simple two-winged looper.
You do realize that this video is quite old, don't you? Zhang has won Ma Long in the Slovenian Open 2012 and has also won Xu Xin at Korean Open 2012. And, btw, last time they played with Wang Liqin, Zhang won 4-1. So, I don't really know what you talking about...
Zhang became number one, and has only stayed there because the CNT are training for the Olympics at the moment and are not competing in tournaments :P On an off day and if Koki Niwa was on a good day I'm sure Koki Niwa could win, he's an outstanding player ranked in the top 20, around the same rank as Ovcharov when Zhang was beaten by him so it's possible .. just unlikely Yeah I agree with you saying he's confident and remains focused but I'd still argue with him being the number 1 player
Correct me if I'm wrong, it seems like Joo simply couldn't handle Zhang's forehand loops because of how much spin it has. I don't think it was Joo making unforced errors, but rather Zhang forcing him to make mistakes.
Maybe now with the poly ball and all, but Koji Matsushita is one who beat the best attackers of his time (Ma Lin, Timo Ball, Jorgen Persson) and never lost 'at ease' even when he did.
@@abubakar.mehmood Matsushita lost to Persson in the Olympics in 2000.He had a perfect score against choppers till 1993 when he had a car accident and suffered neck injury.Chinese players are traditionally no so strong against choppers.Samsonov never lost to a chopper.
Zhang Jike's adaptability is way above any player right now. The way he defended Joo's counter attacks was totally out of the world. Boll failed, Ma Lin and Wang Hao sometimes fail (though they usually don't let Joo attack), Xu Xin maybe close to Zhang's prediction, but not as consistent... It's really hard to see Zhang Jike lose to counter-attacking choppers any day.
Is 8 years ago comment but in my opinion just let you know zhang lost to joo in Chinese super league in 2010. Joo won most of Chinese top players even once. But never win xu xin. Xu xin is best player for chopper. But lose 1 time to ma te another Chinese chopper.
Je trouve que Joo n'attaque pas assez, pour ainsi créer un effet de surprise... malgré sa défense extraordinaire, il ne pourra jamais battre les 3 premiers mondiaux, enfin c'est ce que je pense! X)
Compare this to the match where Joo Se Hyuk defeated Timo Boll in the same tournament. This shows why China is so much superior to the rest of the world in TT. The spin and penetrative power generated from hard sponged DHS Chinese rubbers is way superior to Tenergy. Add to that the much better physical conditioning of the athletes from China. Their footwork is better, movements swifter and shots faster.
thats not true. Tensor rubbers have a force limit. After that the ball will go outside of the table. With the tacky rubbers its diferent, there are no limits with Force/Spin. For other way, the European tospin its a diferente style and tecnique than Chinese tospin.
I strongly disagree that Niwa would beat Zhang. I mean he's 17 and awesome and a very talented kid and all, but no way he'll beat Zhang Jike soon. As for the others that you said, yeah CNT is training for the Olympics, yet they still wouldn't have won Zhang in any of the recent tourneys. Have you seen how efficient he is lately?
If Joo played at his top performance maybe the game would have taken another direction, I mean he's playing as if he had a headache compared to his match with Ma long for God's sake.
I don't even understand why you're referring to the date of this video .. + The Olympic 'warmups' were supposed to be played as if they were playing in the real Olympics to simulate how they should be playing etc after they trained to see how they done. So even though they are 'warmups' which yes I understand what it means, the objective was to try to win .. but he failed to do so against ALL of his opponents .. this is what I'm saying so I recon you should try get up to date sir
Zhang Jike would never lose to a 17 year old guy... no offense. I know how powerful Ma Long is, he is faster and has more power than ZJK. But, Zhang Jike is W#1 because he is playing with more confidence and he always remains focus on his game.
You can see how strong Joo's attack is, his forehand attack, it's almost unplayable. Chopping is a good defensive tool and can be mixed well, but playing as a full time chopper isn't something worth for. It's my personal opinion. I like Joo a lot, chopping skill makes him unique but not a world/Olympic champion.
@Bossiiiii Well yeah, as Joo is the #10, everyone else in the top 10 is higher ranked and supposed to be better than him. Defenders are more reliant than any other class on the skill of their opponent because you are relying on them to make the error.
It's practically impossible to hit the ball any earlier than Zhang did on match point. Crazy good shot.
indeed
Joo's performance was not bad in this match, but Zhang's performance was way too damn good...
Exactly he played at a level that seems to be godly.
At the final point Joo was like "Ok...he has done everything..."
Joo's reaction at the end is worth 1000 words hahah awesome!!
I just love choppers. They make the ball look like its moving in slo mo and it takes a lot of skill to be able to do it when the opponent is slamming the ball at you so quickly.
JSH has kept back spin artistry alive.
That match point...

Indeed.
i miss this zhang jike :(
Zhang at his best;it sucks that back injuries have retrogressed his game.He was the only ruler before injuries.
最後のカウンターうますぎ
And the score is....game ball?
😂😂
joo is THE legendary defensive player
Did u all notice that faint smile @ 7:26! He is amazing man.. only Zhang and Wang Hao have mastered how to dispatch the worlds best defender so effortlessly!
thanks for the video!
Joo Se Hyuk has many fans even if he doesn't always win the game. :)
Уверенная игра Жан Жаке по защите.Местами мне кажется ,что Он с Хьюком играет как кот с мышью.Надо отдать должное и Хьюку: отлично вытягивает,контратакует.Хотелось бы видеть больше активной игры от защитника.
Great quality! Zhang Jike is on the way to become the best player of all time. He is unbelievable fast and in perfect shape.
And 10 years after, I'm here to confirm your statement.
@@chrissantos1877 It's far from true lmao
playing defenders is such a test of discipline and consistency
nice, helpful video to see how Zhang Jike generate power for his fh
Greatest there ever was and ever shall be
最後ただのバケモン
Most Standard Player = Joo Sae Hyuk ❤
JOO SE HYUK,ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD IN ATTAKING
ほんとスイングが鞭のようにしなってる。
i very like Zhang Jike
I've never seen joo get shut out before. Revenge should be on his mind.
thx man!

you can tell zhang's loops were just a tad faster than timo's
what an incredible finish !!

Beautiful drop shot. I'm surprised it's not used more often.
ttCountanence ! GREAT QUALITY HIGHLIGHT ! Can you upload the Zhang Jike-Wang Hao Final ? Thanks !
@frickenbaba oh, and Zhang also prepares better for blocking Joo's random loops. He's a better blocker overall.
And that last point... Zhang baited Joo REAL good. He was ready for that the whole time.
The unusual amount of spin on Zhang's loop could also be attributed to the completely different physics of Chinese style rubber and Chinese looping style.
even through he lost 4-0 i would say this is one of Joos best matches. at some points he actually was offensive
@jwzhu Yeah, those two are the two best players in the world by quite a margin. I would have to say that Ma Long is the stronger one of them, but interestingly, it is Zhang who has grabbed the most important titles (though Ma Long certainly has more titles overall).
Both Chinise and Korean are good player！

only the chinese can destroy joo see like that (except samsanov)
*Samsonov
2:17 looks as if the umpire was glowing
4-0 against the best chopper in the world, almost effortlessly. I would say currently besides ma long, no one can beat ZJK.
Too many players have played against joo see hyuk but.... in my opinion none of em could deal with it like this one.
The next player that plsyed very powerfull with this guy is xu xin in a row. These two controled him and did what they wanted to do.
last point was godlike
スイングスピードやばいなぁ…
Amazing Counter loop by Zhang at 7:36
@SlowNzZz he has long pips on backhand, cannot loop with it
During their rivalry, Joo defeated Jang Jike at least once.
@frickenbaba Well, I think that may be one aspect of it. Boll's forehand is TOTALLY different from Zhang's for one. I think Boll actually enjoys a bit more spin than Zhang, but I would agree that Zhang's more powerful loops might have a bit more spin.

Inhumane speed, man that last point
I did not know Jorgen Strangle from Fairy odd parents commentate Table Tennis. :3

I think Zhang Jike will go on for a very long time like Kong Linghui, maybe he'll play longer than others because of his great technique...
CrawSpecificated too soon
Kong Linghui was irrelevant after 2001 anyway.
@LightSpeed99999 ooh! observant! never noticed that. I'll check it out.

How come last game they did not play up to 11. Just ended at 10?

@yemail5555 I've heard that Boll suffers from injury for almost 5 years, everytime he lost a game people say that....LOL
キレッキレやん
Is Zhang Jike using some Timo Boll serves? His reverse pendulum, specifically, looks to me in Boll's style.

Look how Zhang defeats Joo
yes salov, yes salov!!!!!... SALOV, GIGANTE xD
If Joo played at his top performance maybe the game would have taken another direction, I mean he's playing as if he had a headache compared to his match with Ma long for God's sake.
У зеленого некоторые проблемы с переходом в атаку. Успешная защита должна переходить в атаку, а у него глухая оборона, без перспектив.
Вопрос только в том, что Джу Се Хуку не предоставили шансов перейти в атаку.
