In the Macau Men's World Cup table tennis field, Ma Long defeated Aditya Salin with an absolute advantage of 4-0 and won a good start.
This match is not only a contest of skill and strength, but also a legendary battle full of surprises and touches.
Today, let's go behind the scenes of this game and uncover those unexpected stories.
Unexpected: Marlon's tenacity and perseverance
In the game, it is not difficult to find that whenever Malone bends down to pick up the ball, he gently touches his knee.
This detail raises concerns about his injury.
However, it is such injuries that highlight Ma Long's tenacity and perseverance.
He tells us with his actions that injuries are not an obstacle, but a motivation to challenge ourselves.
In Malone's dictionary, there is no word "give up", only "persistence" and "victory".
Unexpected: cross-generational showdown, Ma Long becomes an "evergreen"
What's even more unexpected is that Ma Long's opponent Aditya Saleen is a full 20 years younger than him.
This cross-generational duel is undoubtedly a double test of Ma Long's strength and mentality.
However, in the face of the young and vigorous opponent, Ma Long did not show the slightest fear, but firmly suppressed the opponent with a more steady pace and sharp attack.
Such Ma Long, like an "evergreen tree", stands tall in the table tennis arena and has witnessed the glory of generation after generation.
Unexpected: Malone's "naughty" backshot
In the competition, Malone showed his unique style of play.
Not only is he highly skilled, but he is also adept at using mental tactics when it matters most.
At a critical moment, he actually came up with a clever trick to hit the ball from behind, and successfully disrupted the opponent's rhythm.
This "naughty" move not only let us see Ma Long's humor and wisdom, but also let us feel his love and devotion to the game.
Unexpected: Narrator "Marlene" becomes "Marlon"
However, in this game, the most unexpected thing for us was the mistake of the on-site commentator.
Throughout the game, the commentator kept misreferring to Malone's name as "Marlene".
Such a mistake not only worries us about the professionalism of the narrator, but also makes us feel unfair about what happened to Ma Long.
Fortunately, Malone was not affected by this mistake, but won the applause of the audience with a better performance.
The score was fixed at 11-4, 11-6, 11-4, 11-3, and Malone won the game with an absolute advantage.
However, the story behind this game is far more exciting than the score.
Malone's tenacity and perseverance, the legend of the cross-generational duel, the tricks behind the shots and the commentator's mistakes all became unforgettable moments in this game.
In the Macau Men's World Cup, Ma Long proved his worth with his strength.
He gave us a fantastic game.
Let's look forward to him continuing to surprise and move us in the next games!
