This could be the best December EVER!!!! Sss'scribe to make sure you don't misssss a sssingle thing! 😁
great video!
Hi Adam could you challenge Dima next
this is truly a dream come true. THE Xu Xin vs. Adam Bobrow? two of my favorite players i know. i have a video suggestion, Adam, if you are able to, i want you to play Timo Boll again. i remember you played against him one time when he used his right hand during an interview. this time it shall be the rematch to see. 👀 or if this is even possible, probably do a doubles match with anybody you can get to do so! keep up the great content Adam! 🏓❤️🇨🇦
"Pie Say" is Taiwanese for sorry.
What a great video and what a great guy Xu Xin is. I love how he committed to playing at the same level he did not go force a 11 on you and kept it fun, a fair play Adam, you beat him :)
Adam: he’s playing defense a lot
Xu Xin: I need to make my friend look good or this would be boring
and THAT, my friend, is what we call "emotional intelligence" here in China🤣
all about s/l'ing face🤝
😂
xu is trying to save his friends "face" by not going all out.
Xu XIn : (does between the legs... twice!)
except it's what I came to see...I wanted to see the level difference...not interested in a charity game where the lesser player wins...that is what is boring.
Adam: Putting all my efforts
XuXin: Controlling the scores
man this video made me so happy, glad you finally got to play him
Bruh glarses nice
ayo ping pong keyboard coming soon?
i didn't think i'd see you here, hello!
ping pong keyboard
What the fuck is funny keyboard man doing in my ping pong comments section
I laughed so hard during the whole video. He tried to make it fun while let Adam get to Game Point no matter what the handicap was, then only put in 10% effort even then, and made sure Adam win the match.
right hahahaha i love xu xin, it was so fun to watch
The charity aspect of it is what made it boring....i wanted to see the level difference play out in real time...not some 10% effort game where the lesser player won...meh.
@@PreppinShootinLivinwould you watch a video where adam doesn't win a single point and gets steam rolled, and the ball only lasts up to like 5 returns?
@@FED0RA 100% yes, that’s what I clicked the video for. I like seeing excellence, I also like seeing the level difference between really really good players and then the elite, it’s always fun to see that gap in all kinds of sports.
My man, any game where Xu Xin matches up with a much lower ranked player will give you what you want... There's more than enough clips@@PreppinShootinLivin
You could tell Xu Xin put more effort into taking it easy than he did the actual game haha
True. But he needs to eat the microphone now🤣
Yeah I thought it looked kind of awkward for him to force himself to go 25%
😂
That last shot was definitely missed on purpose. But it was still a great game. Lots of good moments.
He didnt even smash in the first game.
It was hilarious! Awesome to see that Xu Xin has such an amazing sense of humor in addition to his outstanding skill and creativity.
Yep that was gold. I love the trashtalking and a champ just having fun! Great video
With how serious China takes table tennis, I didn't expect Xu Xin to just be the biggest clown just having fun. It's really jarring, but it just goes to show you that you can judge a book by it's cover.
@@blackmanwhitesuit😂 stop watching or trusting western media Chinese people are so helpful
I feel the people are usually caught in the crossfire of govt discourse, but that's all I'll say about that. Xu Xin, top tier funny guy. @@iamnisc
@@blackmanwhitesuitActually most of the national team members have their funny sides, but are less known to the international audience since people only see foreign athletes on more formal occasions. Xin really is a funny guy, and people love him for this reason, on top of his athletic performance.
Man, Xu Xin is such a funny guy, not just in the way he plays, but the way he interacts with you and even what he says into the camera for the audience at home. I always smile all the way through your videos, but I burst out laughing a few times in this one. Thanks for sharing this joy, I'm so happy you got to play your dream match!
I cant remember laughing this much and loud over a video in the last years. In the end when you two talked to the camera I then eventually even got a little tear in my eyes. Wouldve loved to see this man way longer in international tournaments❤
💜🫂same!
Xu Xin is not just the coolest table tennis player, but the coolest person at heart.
Not the best (Malong) but the coolest definely yes
Xu Xin is very much one of the best and creative players in the modern era for sure. Xu Xin is a left handed penholder, something i have never seen before amongst other players. He just really has a very good forehand as well to mention. Xu Xin is truly one of the best penholders of all time.
Xu Xin, nice try. Now relogin😅
For me he is definitely the most creative but I still have doubts abou the best penholder since there is MA Lin and ryu seung min
@@Klo4dwell i never actually said he IS the best, one of the best. to note, Xu Xin plays long range with a forehand using lots of sidespin. Ryu Seung Min is very good for his aggressive style. and for Ma Lin he is good for making lots of quick attacks for quick points. honestly the best penholder imo just comes down to preference.
Xu Xin is a natural showman both on and off the court. His deadpan humour is amazing.
Laughed so hard thru the whole video lol. At the last a few points Xu Xin's mind was like "okay enough fun for today, let's play some serious shots", but his body was still like "aren't we here just for fun today?"
But tbh, though this has been extremely entertaining and fun, I still wish he and Adam can have a serious game, and see the true gap between a semi-retired pro and a top-notch amateur. But that could also be like Xu Xin said, "boring".
Just finished watching the first game, he really played you like you were a 6 years old kid 😂
And still won😂
Even a grown man beginner wouldn't be able to return any of his shots, neither would you. But ur right he really went easy with him.
Just look at how he's dressed; I would think he's 6 too.
It is unbelievable how good he still is, he could easily compete with world class again with some training
He played Super League until a few months ago, why would he not be good? 😁
I mean, I don't think he wants to at this point :p
He's the only Chinese player that both Harimoto and Lin Yun-Ju still hasn't beaten yet lol
It's sad that Xu wont join international matches any more -- he has left the Chinese table tennis team,
but he is still in Shanghai team as a teammate with Fan ZD. which was also uploaded on CZcams😀
For sure he can...
Really felt like Xu Xin could've won without dropping a point if he really wanted to, but instead he really put on a show for us! Incredible video. So glad you were able to make this happen, Adam.
Lol ofc he could've won with zero point loss 😅 But that's a friend game and the amount of snakes and defending made it soooo much funnier and 100% he had a lot of fun too. I mean let's be honest he could've spammed top spins on Adam like he was training with a top chinese player and there would've been no way to return those shots
Xu Xin is the perfect example of
"The one who was born a genius can't win against the one who tries, and the one who tries can't win against the one who enjoys",
I just cannot believe how much of a fun guy he is despite being #1 in one of the most competitive sports in the world IN CHINA.
No, Xu Xin just made the match looks more fun. Xin xin got nothing if he wins Adam, but Adam got lot credits if he wins. They are friends.
@@junx6250 Please read it again, very slowly, from top to bottom. The entire quote is intended to be a testament describing his playfulness and humbleness despite the successful career he had, not about this OBVIOUS friendly match (Xu could probably beat him with his foot if he tried). I'm sure you got confused because of the word 'win' in the quote. I believe in you!
I know Xu Xin could've won easily, but damn has Adam improved so much in the past few years...
We need a TableTennis daily match with him
Oh yes another match with Dan would be amazing! Dan has been improving a lot as well so I'd love to see what the outcome is now!
That’s what I’m saying. I’ve been wanting Adam to do a rematch with Dan for a while now. Pongfinity too.
Xu Xin is just on another level. Awesome fun video though!
You are a terrific advert for the game Adam, thank you for all the enthusiasim you bring to this wonderful sport.
That's true, but his shorts are terrible.
90% of Xu Xin's focus was on going easy on Adam lol, you could tell how softly he was trying to hit it🤣🤣
The part that Xu called a timeout and built up pressure was so funny hahahaha. Xu, as a World No.1, is so entertaining.
Xu Xin said at 2-2 10-9 that he will eat the mic if the lost the point and Adam had a net😂😂😂
Technically it was actually an ace for Xu Xin since Adam was fooled to go to the table's side😂
Mic eaten?
Spoiler alert 😢 - best point of the video I think! Despite many good points
Seeing Xu Xin, the Cloud Walker, and Adam BobroW, the two reasons I started watching table tennis regularly during the Pandemic go at it is everything I needed today. Table Tennis is great. So happy. Thanks guys. 😄😄
I love how althougb he is a world champion, yet he maintained his sense of humor and sense of competitiveness and cheesines ...
I genuinely loved this video
Can’t believe Adam actually got to play against the xuperman himself!
Xu Xin was so much fun! He really deserves his nickname "the showman". Thanks for this video, one of your best Adam!
Been smiling like a madman all this time, so freakin awesome to watch these two together.
Thank-you so much for this match, Brought more smiles and a few laughs that I don't often get.
Among all the videos that Adam plays with table tennis stars, this is the most wonderful one I've ever seen!
Adam is definitely getting better each time he face strong opponents.
I actually thought he started to get worse you can tell by how he’s not returning shots he used to return
@@davidg1060it is because of two reasons, 1 because he has to travel all across the world to commentate and to give us amazing videos. Anyone that plays table tennis know that after like two day of not playing, you lose like half of you’re feeling. The other reason is because he is becoming old.
I don't know, it feels like he is trying harder but isn't playing any better, he might be getting worse
Cuz hes trying too hard to put his opponents in a good light. Personally, I think it undersells them more. He purposefully doesnt return some shots or plays them rather poorly.@@davidg1060
guys... all these pro players he challenge are playing at 10% their level or less.... they are not trying to win the points quickly, they are just having a fun relaxed time with adam... if the lebruns, xu xin, etc etc would play at their real level they would smoke him in no time
I can't imagine scoring a single point against Adam. It always blows my mind to see the level of play where even he struggles to score. It puts into perspective what's going on when the world's top players square off against each other.
I love how respectful the sport of TT is. I’m a beginner, and I’ve felt so welcomed into the community. Everyone wants to see me get better, and are more than willing to give me advice or help me with my form, or humble me by showing what a real pro can do 😂. Honestly, TT is the first sport where I feel like I can get into it and not immediately be judged or criticized for being a part of it. It’s the most welcoming and kind community. Adam and Xu Xin are some prime examples of why I am working at getting better at TT. I just need to keep finding better and better players to help me get better. Thanks for making this sport so amazing Adam. Your videos have inspired me quite a bit.
Out of all the matches I have seen you play I found this one the most enjoyable!! That was awesome!!!
15:28 Xuxin : if i lost this point,i will eat this microphone,okay😂😂
Love your videos Adam! I could be having a bad day, but watching your videos guarantee to brighten my day up with laughs and inspiration 👍
Well he's a showman. They both are. So much joy to watch them having a fun.
Xu Xin in the first game was like "so Adam you think you only need 7 points ahead to make it a challange? That arrogance" and gives him 10 before playing a little more serious and still messes around and wins :D
True
Xu Xin is a great guy with a good sense of Humor. Always entertaining with a skill set far beyond imagination for normal humans. 👍😁
WOW easily one of the most fun table tennis videos I've seen!! Xu Xin is awesome, and this was an absolute blast to watch
Xuperman is a perfect gentleman ... a great man and a beautiful friend! So fun to watch ... Love ya both ...
Finally!!! Thanks Adam for bringing the cloud walker back in our life!
Ur videos really inspire people in their table tennis journey so thank you.
Oh you lucky man! I love Xu Xin and can't stop grinning. He is my absolute favorite player and I miss him at the tournaments. I wish him and his family all the luck in the world. Thanks Adam. Stay healthy and “keep on ponging” ;-)
This is unbelievable! Big Cudos to Adam and Xu Xin for showing this SHOW!
He is so nice to you :D Feels like he is teaching a first timer and just wants to make sure this first timer is having fun and sticks around ^^
What an great early x-mas gift. Laughing in tears at the end. I love the mutual respect between West and East. That is how the World / Humans should meet. Battle in a friendly sports match - not an the battle field. Peace
I stopped table tennis in 2001 at the age of 17 for school studying. When I saw the Xuperman I couldn't believe there was a person with so much talent,skill and flair. As fas as skills are concerned he is definitely in the top 10 goats of all time
A host always should make his guest happy. Good game Adam and Xu Xin
This battle is pure entertainment, thanks adam and xu xin!!
whats more surprising is the how good Adam is in mandarin
I think he went to live in Taiwan for a while to learn it.
Love when you exhaust every skill and even luck in this game. Would love to see you go all out like this in each of your video 👍
je viens de découvrir tes videos . j'aime vraiment ton attitude et ta façon de partager ton sport et avec tous , quelque soit le niveau en face . tu représentes vraiment la noblesse du sport . merci à toi Adam .
Por fiiiiiin... Estuve esperando este diaaaaa, mi jugador penholder favorito contra mi youtuber de table tennis favorito, ahora sí con todo para practicar 😮😮😅
Xu Xin is one of a kind. The fact that he gave 3% effort and still be this entertaining.
This is what happines feel like, this video right here is happines♥ thank you so much and I'm really glad you get to play with him, he's a living legend.
Amazing work Adam, and what a SHOW! 😊Xu Xin is the only true match of yours for the 360 degree snake shots out there. And this RPB is a killer, it improved so much since I first watched Xuperman many years ago!!! Greetings from Orlando and currently Mindanao.
I'm literally smiling all the time watching this video each and every point in it was a pure heart worming moment for all of us ,amazing performance from both of you .. loved it sooo much , best way ever to end a year ❤❤❤❤
it is so obvious Xu Xin tried to be friendly and pretend to lose a lot of points LOL
Lol you wanna see him do full power smashes on adam for the whole time? 😂
A treat ti watch great to see the fun casual side of this all time great. Well done and thanks for posting Adam.
thanks adam for putting this video up for all fans of yours and xu xin. it was so nice to see you play xu xin and to see xu xin play.
Nothing but good vibes from this man!
I ALWAYS LOVED XUXIN'S SMILE. FILLED WITH SINCERITY AND POSITIVITY.
Adam is the true voice of table tennis
Wow first
@AdamBobrow you made my day. A video with my two favorite persons in table tennis!!!
It's such a great chance to play with Xu Xin! I wish I had that chance too! 🤩🤩
Same here and maybe coach me a little. He’s the reason I played penhold 😊
One of the most cool and fun match on your channel. And there're some incredible points. Thanks from Ukraine!
Can't believe you played against him ! What an entertaining match ! Congrats and thanks for this really good moment.
Best of your videos, I laughed out to tears. Love Xu Xin and you both!
xuxin is an absolute RIOT!! this was one of my favorite videos in a long time; i was practically dying watching this entire thing
How come he didn't eat the mic? 🤥
Wow, this one really makes me happy. I smiled a lot throughout this video, more than in a whole month. Thanks.
This was hilarious and most importantly, FUN. Thanks for keep posting ping pong slamers Adam
What a funny, humble and great player!!!
I was about to go to sleep but after seeing this I’m def staying up for these 18 minutes
man i can feel the fun you guys are having. tnx for making the videos (:
I love all your videos, you are showing the friendly, funny and charming side of the big players.
Your Chinese is really getting better Adam, keep up the good work! Make sure to keep working extra hard on the tones and if you ever want to practice, let me know. When Xu Xin said 中国四个字送给你，白日做梦 I almost died 😂
Such a great and humble guy Xu Xin is! Awesome stuff Adam. Keep the vidz coming ang looking forward to watch the next upload with Anastasia
A milestone for this channel. And Xu Xin is hilarious!
Best video from Adam so far.
So many amazing shots!
I really hope Wu will get another champion soon.
Xu Xin is amazing! Best video of yours without a doubt!!
I have to admit that Simon Gauzy and Xu Xin are the 2 players who, imho entertain me the most in terms of visuals because of their creative playing style. Love Xu Xin. I'm still worried for team China for their mixed categories since Xu Xin is not part of it anymore.
Xu Xin is such a pro. He's a super grandmaster in Table Tennis. What a fun video. It must be an honor and joy to be his friend. Excellent video Adam!
This made me smile and laugh. Nice and fun game between two friends. Makes me wanna get back into the sport.
10:42 and 13:16 are more representative of what a REAL matchup between the two would look like. Very entertaining!
yeah, the rest is half show XD
never seen Adam smash so hard before that was so fun to watch!
This is the most heartwarming match from adam! Great one, enjoyed a lot, feel the tense, laugh a lot too. Thanks xu xin, adam!
He was so kind to you, world class player & friend, even let you win (and made you work for it)
12:20 best point, so smooth, so much trickery, beautiful
Xu xin is just a really great guy
And I'm very happy for you Adam to be able to play against your favorite player. ❤❤ Hope someday you'll have a chance to play against Fan Zhendong and Ma Long the same way. It would be awesome.
Absolutely fabulous episode, loved it. 👍
So... how did that microphone taste? Both players are showmen, what else did you expect but top-notch entertainment? Thanks for this!
I am happy to see Xu Xin play again ❤
Xu Xin is amazing. Such an awesome player and person! Congratz Adam!! I think you were feeling amazing with this game!
I can't believe I watch until the end and not skipping any second of it.
Great game guys.
Surprising that Xuperman is as playful as Adam! Incredible play, and so entertaining.
Xu Xin was really polite, funny and friendly to let you play with him; great video, I liked it and I won't spoil you won :D
my man whoever your fight , you're the best entertainer i ever seen in table tennis , keep healthy my man... hope to see you one day
I kept laughing for the entire match😂
