Tomokazu Harimoto vs Lin Gaoyuan | MS SF | ITTF MEN'S AND WOMEN'S WORLD CUP MACAO 2024

His weakness has always been his mentality. Once that's removed, he's a lesser version of WCQ.

​@@user-ih4vy8ty5h Agreed

You mean from Lin 😅

Never seen LGY play so well.

@@user-ih4vy8ty5h he is a faster version of wcq with weaker power

I hope Ma Long and Lin Gaoyuan 4:3 or 3:4😊

4:3long win the World Cup should be nice to see 😂

The remontada match

the dragon participates in international tournament mainly just to eliminate foreign players from advancing to the final😉

@@dongiovanni8899not this time 😉

@@robin0910 yes, he keeps the best one for himself, GOAT power🤭

😂😂😂

Wang Manyu is a world champion and LGY is having a late-career surge, this comparison doesn’t really make sense

@@alexanderdickens2517 Not trying to compare the both of them. But both of them has this mental block in them.

She can have bad days like him, but you can really SEE the pain on Lin's face in a different way, haha. His face goes white, starts shaking his head. You can see the moment when he thinks he's losing.

@@alexanderdickens2517 Once Lin had that mental block activated, that's when he stops thinking how to beat his opponents (Ma Long included).

Great post. Agree and fundamentally, Lin is better than Harimoto.

Japan team teenage prodigy normally underperform when they reach 20 years old

Japan team teenage prodigy normally don't last long

​@@dongiovanni8899actually Harimoto is the best of Japan team

@@MrFreezebook21 Jun Mizutani already retired after Olympics2020

@@dongiovanni8899 you know Harimoto defeated him when he was 13.

lin was on fire. sometimes when a player is this hot, theres nothing you can do

Soemtimes, we should know it is his limit

unfortunately Japan pushes their teenage talents too early with advanced techniques to overperform in international tournament. most of them turn mediocre when reach 20 years old

Nah, Harimoto has improved a lot recently actually. Feel free to argue, but his forehead first opening has became much better, and he has developed a very smart and efficient backhand block, where he changes the paste and focus on tempo and placement. His backhand only works close to the table cuz he chooses to play like this. There's no problem with that honestly. You saying his forehead is still weak, but you can't really go from a backhand player to a forehead player, that's not how table tennis works. You should be good at things that wins you points and mask weaknesses as much as possible. Good example of that is Zhang Jike's forehand, it's never his strongest side, and not the prettiest honestly, but it functions enough to win him games most of the time. Also Harimoto has gone through the tough highschool in Japan, and got pretty decent grades into university it seems. On the other hand, Lin is just a superb player. He's techniques is definitely one of if not the fastest, and the only factor limited him was his mental games, but the 4th game has clearly shown that hes has that improved recently.

Not so much about him not improving, it’s more about he’s mental game, he seems to lack the fearlessness that he had when he first came onto the circuit. And also modern day technology, there’s more game analytics that come into play and more people are working him out, and there haven’t been any drastic changes to he’s game

He was playing since he was 14 actually, and in that age he took down Timo Boll

when he was that young and first appeared on the tournament, no one was familiar with his style that was why he was effective.

張本は明らかに進化してるよ。しゃしゃりでんなにわか

I think it's about the coaches and training system, not his fault

unfortunately Japan pushes their teenage talents too early with advanced techniques to overperform in international tournament. most of them turn mediocre when reach 20 years old due to neglect of strong fundamental training and mental stability

there isn't a lee equivalent in tt that your dream would happen.

why English then?

Yes as a badminton player myself I agree upon this 😊

Have you ever seen Man Utd fans cheer for Arsenal? It's professional sport, not School Sport Day. And the example you had raised is totally misleading. Lee Chong Wei is a legend, Chinese fans cheer for Timo Boll, but Harimoto? Nah

Fans only cheer for their player during the game, that's normal. And it's also normal that everybody claps for the winner at the end of match and during prize ceremony🥳

Lmaoooo

voice box destroyed🤣🤣🤣

Every country study their opponents, Japan and Korea have clone versions of top Chinese players too.

teenage prodigy talents don't last long if not given strong fundamental training and mental stability

It probably because his opponents have improved
