Liang Jingkun is No 6 racket in the World now. When you see how many mistakes this first class player makes against Hou Yingchao you realise what kind of crazy spin variaton he has to deal with. Amazing!
Never has such a guy who won the China National Champion around 20 year before and now still be able to enter semifinal! I don't think there will be anyone who can break such record!
Some years ago, Hou Y.C. did much more backhand smashes / forehand attacks than nowadays. But his vast experience can teach the youngsters in Chinese national team some techniques they rarely encounter at such world class level.
LJK cannot handle Hou's variety of spins. Good to see two choppers (Hou and Ma Te) in the Chinese National Championship semi-finals. Though Ma Long, Xu Xin or Fan Zhendong are not competing, it is still a huge achievement for the 37 year old Hou.
I really love to watch how Hou outsmarts these young players and their lack of patience in the game. They ARE god, really god... but not god enough to just run over Hou as they would like. Which they get more and more aware of, the longer the match continues... And also... Hou seems to be in a marvellous shape, and he plays with great confidence....
Hou really gnaws away with spin variation change of pace but comes in with fierce counters. Great player good to watch. Await the haters comments with great aplomb. Lol.
New generations can't deal with heavy spin, they are all about that flashy speed, look at Lian Jingkun sending all those heavy chops to the net, pretty sad the youngsters forgot about spin.
All these comments discounting the win because hes a chopper? Hes a great player and considering any form of table tennis other than two winged loopers is ever promoted, its amazing they win at all. Can you imagine if there were as many UA-cam videos on modern defense as there are for offensive style of play?
Forgotten unorthodox style. If Hao's still playing in Chinese league, most top players will get used to his style and beat him no problem. No chance to make the national team and left China for opportunities abroad.
I thought choppers were going extinct? At least that’s what the tv commentators have the audience believe. Honestly, I see that Hou has mastery of both defense and attacking styles, it’s obvious that he has more practice vs attacking players than LJK practicing vs defending players. LBJ has mastered the attack vs attack game, but not the attack vs defense vs attack again vs defense again, it’s too much skills to master, Hou has lots of skills and patience, he has continually perfected his game, it’s his artwork and it’s great he is shar8ng it with the world, lol
You are so right. So many say defense is dead, not a valid style, etc. What a bunch of garbage. Now lets see this great style taught and promoted as much as offense. .
Once again we see that 39 is not retired age in table tennis. You have chances to win highest world class trophies at age of 39 if you want. Hou Yingchao once again confirmed that. Great efforts, great performance of the veteran. And interesting table tennis in this final match. A lot of it is because of the new LIGHTWEIGHT DHS balls, which is a little more lightweight than other usual heavyweight balls. Lightweight balls fly slowly because of air resistance, so that ball speeds are in range of possible human reaction. There for players can react and can applies various techniques in games. Hou Yingchao of course plays well, but these lightweight balls give him chance and give more interesting table tennis. Congratulation to Hou Yingchao, and beautiful table tennis. Japanese heavyweight balls, for example Nittaky balls, leaded table tennis to action contest, very bored and poor techniques, not game show. You should stop buy old heavyweight balls. ITTF must officially announce the new official ball weight , for example ball weight 2grams. The current ball weight 2.7grams is so heavyweight.
Why do people "STILL" apologize for hitting the ball into the net and it going over most of the time winning the point. I mean it is widely know that the person didn't mean to win the point that way. Also, would the opponent get mad if the player didn't apologize for doing so? That is all.
It's courtesy. When you hit, and the ball hits the opponent's body, you say "Sorry". When you are walking on the streets, sometimes, you brush someone walking next to you. Of course, you don't mean that, but you still say "Sorry!".
There are so many offensive players that they forget to practice against defensive player. Only the weak offend player will lose to defensive style. If you take the best offensive against the best defensive, offensive always wins in modern TT. Defensive style cannot control the rally but only follows.
@@olexandrsehin2922 His blade is impossible to find anymore. But any ALL+ / OFF - blade would play well for Modern Defense. Usually FH rubbers are in 2.1 or 2.2mm On BH, Hou uses TSP Spectol in 1.8mm (1.7-1.9mm). Personally I use Spectol 21 (softer sponge - slightly more control and spin) on a Tibhar Samsonov Pure Wood and it works great for Modern Defense. Good luck!
At the 04:56, Hou blocked a ball from Liang, the ball just dropped on the table of Hou's side, and he looked at his own racquet, and wondered what the heck happened to his rubber.

A master in the defence playing. And those his spectacular sidespins. Hou is very hard to defeat him .
Hou is so effective. Amazing style!
Hou is such a good chopper/slicer, he can become a top Chinese Chef lol
already on top
Nicer dicer 😅

Wow! What an ugly/nasty defensive style and at the same time so correct and cunning. I would hate to play against Hou. Good job, man!
You don't stand a chance

Классная интересная зрелищная игра получилось !
Love the audio. You can hear everything they say during the match
Wow Hu is still in the china league and even he won the match against Liang? So awesome !!!!
Seldom saw such an effective defender who caused his opponent to make so many mistakes and could win.

Hou use Short or Long pips ?
5:45 best point of Liang
I agree with you.
how come this amazing players just beat top players like that . INSANE !

@@spaceinvader384 ok got it thanks
Liang was obviously getting more and more frustrated with Hou's backspin variations, sudden attacks, and sidespin combinations. Very funny!
How old is he? He is so genius

Great to see this 👋👋
What is a coach? The coach is myself.
きたーーー！！！
Now we know who's the best chopper.
As if Hou is wispering to the ball!! He is too cool..
大哥真了不起！服！
He's all curveball, fh loop and bh chop.
This is like father and son match considering the age gap!
Where was this guy all this time. Maybe was practicing on another planet

China National Championship, where every round of games count as grand final of ITTF regular open/world tour.
Это великолепно
Super!
Is this a new tournament? I knew about the national games but this is the first time that I hear about national championships taking place?
さすがベテラン
Great game! :)
すげぇ
nice deffens
He even turned LJK into a chopper at many times.
if ping pong is like street fighter, hou will be screaming "chicken chop", "banana split". Now i feel hungry.
Reminds me Richard Gonzales from the Philippines. So awkward you'd think he was rubbish. But players struggle with him
やりますね👍
The way that LJK played like he just had his diarrhoea! So disappointed! Anyway, one of the best point from LJK 4:29
He can cut the world :) very strangle style
see the side spin before the ball is going to stop in the air .. a nightmare to every attacker
11:10 hHere's a little smile for kickin' your ass!
I guess the Chinese national team doesn't practice against choppers too often

LJK lost his head big time last 2 sets. Yes wierd spins etc but when you're top 10 in the world these players you shd eat for breakfast
I think he lost his head almost from the start until the end... The amount he overshooted with brute force was ridiculous for a top pro
高手在民间！出神入化！

How the heck is this possible?!

самые что ни на есть обычные короткие шипы - TSP Spectol

youre wrong its based on how you can lift backspin.. fan zhen dong win over xu xin.. but xu xin can beat hou. thats a good example
Who knows,what equipmants does he use?
Blade DHS Hurricane Classic / FH: DHS H3 or Dianchi D / BH: Spectol short pips
