After losing a set at 9-11, Malone trailed 4-8 in the second set. In such a difficult situation, Malone still completed a big comeback, winning the second set 12-10 and winning the game 3-1 on aggregate. No wonder Ma Long announced that he would not retire and would fight in the Paris Olympics again, it turned out that he invented the old Chinese medicine method.
In the WTT Championship Macau match before the World Cup in Xinxiang, Ma Long lost to Wang Chuqin in the semifinals. I thought that Ma Long would slowly fade out of the competition in the future, but I didn't expect him to announce before the Xinxiang World Cup that he would not retire and would compete in the Paris Olympics again. This news is a blessing for Malone fans, who can continue to watch their favorite players sweat on the field and show their personal charm.
Although Ma Long is 34 years old, he is still not old, and he is the most reassuring one in men's table tennis in foreign wars. Today's world table tennis, especially men's table tennis, has emerged many good players. For example, Moregaard, Lin Yunru, Zhang Benzhihe, Darko and so on. In the face of these players who he rarely intersected before, Ma Long invented a set of "old Chinese medicine playing methods".
In the Xinxiang World Cup, Malone's first opponent was Darko from Slovenia. Although the two have fought once before, Malone is still not familiar with this opponent's playing style. So in the first game, Malone needs to "look, smell, ask, cut" and give Darko the pulse first. Darko scored directly on the first serve, catching Malone by surprise. Darko paid attention to his serve, moving Malone with a forehand and backhand to take the lead at 11-9.
Through the first game, Malone still failed to accurately call the pulse of Dake, and he had to continue to observe. After trailing 4-8, Malone finally found Darko's illness and began to apply the right medicine (crazy chasing points). After all, Ma Long is a hexagonal warrior, and his ball skills have reached the realm of transformation, and various skills can be switched at will. After pinpointing Darko's weaknesses, he changed his tactical play and completed the comeback 12-10.
After the second half of the second inning saw the effect, in the third inning, Ma Long took another fierce medicine, and a wave of 7-0 allowed Darko Basic Medicine to be eliminated. 11-2, Malone went next round. In the fourth game, Malone reduced the amount of medication and went on another 11-5 to reverse the game 3-1. Through his own magic hand to rejuvenate, Ma Long successfully eliminated the disease of Darko medicine.
This is Ma Long's old Chinese medicine play, facing an unfamiliar opponent, the first game is naturally to find out the opponent's hole cards, find out the opponent's weaknesses and shortcomings, and then apply the right medicine to find a way to restrain the opponent. So when watching Malone's game, seeing him lose a game first, there is no need to panic at all. Because from the second game, Malone will let the opponent know what "passive" is.
Pol is still active in the table tennis world at the age of 41, and let Lin Gaoyuan travel again in this World Cup. Ma Long is only 34 years old, it can be said that the second spring has only begun, and it is entirely possible to win the championship in the Paris Olympics again. It's just that the Paris Olympics depends on points, and Malone still needs to work hard.
