Two great players. Lin is incredibly fast and Truls an incredible ball touch feeling and a somewhat uncommon style. Very strong tactically too. Spectacular and beautiful match.
First :) lovely game between those two too players. Trul trying to adapt his serves to lins strong backhand and constantly trying to break the rythm wirh his unconventional shot selection. Lin stayed focused and won this match. Could have gone either way
LYJ has the keys, he always send the ball to truls's BH side. If want be number 1 truls must give his time to exercise BH loop and BH block, it must cos his BH look funny and low level compared his beast FH shoot
All his strokes are shit, his only advantage is element of surprise. Once it’s gone he has nothing. It’s too late to learn to play now, he missed his time winning at a lower level with stupid stuff.
Moregardh's backhand block gives some of his opponents the most problems though because it's unique and has a lot of variation in speed, spin and placement which can make it hard for opponent to read and adapt
I'm very curious what Truls's state of mind is as he plays. Does he believe himself to be the greatest player of all time because he does his own shots? Or does he realize that his game is infinitely inferior and regardless of the outcome he will always be the weaker player long term? I'm wondering.
How do you mean?. He is a tactical beast. A genuis on the board. There is nothing inferior in his game he is just unique and I must confess an extraordinary player.
@@nnamdichrisume9384 I don't see it that way at all. His natural ability allows him to put balls on the table that most people can't put on the table, but he's not really doing anything special with it. He's playing for stupid tricks with primitive flat hits and weird chops. The first time a top chinese player plays him - he may be confused. The second time Moregard has no chance. Watch world championship final in Texas - perfect demonstration. That's a dumb way to waste your talent in my opinion.
@@alk672 It is pointless. What you are saying is something what Europeans tried to do during last 15 years. Try to play clean, aggressive fast table tennis. And that turned out to be the period when Europeans were weaker than ever. It is impossible to outplay Chinese in their territory. Fast robotic rhythmic play. Their physiology fits to that style more, they train more, they have well built training institutions. None of Europeans playing classic playstyle will ever be best in table tennis as long as Asians exist. Period. That is the reason why in 90's when Europeans were strong, every strong European had his own unique way with table tennis. Waldner, Perrson, Apelgren, Primorac, Saive, Samsonov, all of them had unique style and their own special trick shots. And now Europeans are rising again, because they are starting to understand it again. You will never win Chinese, if you are playing at their territory. Yes, searching another way is risky. Truls sometimes gets troubles, or gets knocked out by outsiders. But there is another side of the coin. Players like Truls or Alexis mag not be stable, but they both have few wins against top chinese players. If they figure out, sometimes they make miracle happen. Other side is, Qiu Dang for example. Good player, very clean technique. Very disciplined playstyle. He is one of the strongest players in Europe. He allmosf never loses to outsiders. He is stable. He never defeated any top Chinese player. And sadly, he probably won't. He is trapped by his own playstyle
I love seeing Moregard get beaten, and to have him beaten by someone as professional and humble as Lin is great. I wish they had moved the camera to back behind the table, but a great match nonetheless. Btw, that catch on the paddle by Moregard at 4:29 looked a little sus. Just let it drop so we know it wasn't going to hit.
Truls unconventional play doesn’t help him much with the top players. He is stepping back too much playing loops. He can play like that in his Swedish league but not with the best. And his backhand first spins are too slow. Did his coach did not tell him that. Or he did and he is playing his style anyway??Lin plays like others top players 3rd ball quick attack both sides but not looping quite far from table some balls.
@@Abcdef12396 Yes, it's the Dima tactic which he used in the olympic's bronze medal game, no spin and no height short serve, backhand serve to be in ready position quickly.

Truls almost made a comeback, but Lin was brave and used his signature move at the end.

Definitely could've, also it seems Truls time in China helped him out a bit.

the match of Titans ❤❤❤
sooo close...Truls became much better after playing in China league....from 1-8 get back to 9-10.....thats amazing..

Wow! Could have gone either way.
Скидка слева всё решила. Короночка Ассасина. чус!!!
What does MS SF mean? SF means semi final, right? How about MS?
Men Single, I think
@@alanli5959 yeah, that make sense, thank you
Muls Trollegard strikes again
Truls did the same too much last 2 games, no chop blocks and less serve variation, but both were strong
The diddly backhand serve scored a tonne of points. Amazing how LYJ didn't have a great answer for it.
Truls got a really weird looking serve.
That serve deliberately baits you to attack but he is prepared to reply with a devastating punch block that will destabilise you.
An act of breaking the rhythm of Lin by Moregard. Moregard should have believed a lot more in the pattern and the game would have ended by 3:1
He did believe but Lin also adapted. You don't go for 2 out of position shots unless you think you have the upper hand.
@@reinaldopessoa2603it is just habit. Lin is backhand dominant. Under pressure he naturally gravitated to his dominant style.

He is rank 13 with this playstyle. Where would he be if he played like everybody else, in your opinion?
@@kennethselin1398we'll never know. Maybe nowhere. Maybe he would have been the best in the world.

pls make me win
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Frame rate! Frame rate! What in the actual hell WTT? You can't record video so that the audience can see the ball?
greatest backhand vs worst backhand
Exactly
Hehehe Lin only needs to play BH to win...
That's his game basically
@@nnamdichrisume9384 His FH is too soft bro..Everyone can return
Опять этот товарищ концовку проваливает
Главное чтобы обоссанное мнение продвигало классных игроков . Диванные мыши всегда трындят про кого либо. МОЖ мс не расглядел?
Да не то чтобы проваливает, просто в напряженных концовках «вдохновенные» трюки работают плохо, а базовое заезженное мастерство - хорошо…

He took it outside the table.
Why do you love seeing him get beat?

Truls movement not the best in this match.

It ended 3:2 could have gone either way.
Truls has defeated Lin a couple of times with his unconventional style
@@nnamdichrisume9384 every time it will get worse for Truls. He’s playing for tricks, it’s a long term losing game.
TM's BH serve looked lame
You look lame
Have you watched the final between Xiang Peng and Lin? And the match with Dima? They all do the same serve to avoid Lin's flick.
@@Abcdef12396 Yes, it's the Dima tactic which he used in the olympic's bronze medal game, no spin and no height short serve, backhand serve to be in ready position quickly.
@@Abcdef12396 he can flick it but it will be a weak flick and then will be punch blocked.
