Ma Lin can be a sneaky so-and-so, but he's also the best tactical Chinese player I've ever seen. Maze was playing well, and exploiting a (then) Chinese weakness against high lobs. So Ma LIn gave him very little chance to play them. So many drop shots, keeping Maze stretching and close to the table. A great performance.

Ma lin is absolutely a penhold legend. You can hardly see similar tactics in modern TT games. Maze performed quite well in this tournament, just Ma Lin did better. What a great match!

A legendary match. Love it when Ma Lin starts lobbing Maze.

Shouting "Cho" is very normally ! What would you do in semi-finals of the world championshps ?

Ma Lin technically defected Maze, who defects Wang hao 4-0 and Hao Shui 4:3 before. WIth his excellent "hand-feeling" on ball and excellent control and aggressive chop block, Maze made no idea how to play with him.

Ma Lin would have died for his home that day. Maze knocked out the CNT's best, and Ma was their only hope.

But the WTTC 2005 winner was Wang Liqin, so Ma wasnt their only hope

Such a weird footwork by Maze. And Ma Lin flying like butterfly.😊

竟然10多年了，当时梅兹放高球是津津乐道的话题。

马琳的直板运用是前无古人后无来者，如同教科书一般，但是又带有江湖风格， 难于模仿，尤其对付梅兹的高球，以彼之道还施彼身，高，实在是高

why did Ma Lin got a yellow card?

Never seen michael maze so helpless and hopeless like this in this match...

Ma Lin the best player ever!!

ok。good

any one knows what the yellow card at 2.35 was for?

Ma Lin takes too much time, at least in the opinion if the umpire.

Why is ma lin so excited after winning a EU player? He had been dominating for a while at the time.

Ma Lin plays much better now rather than back then, and Michael Maze played awfully that time

You talk like one of them as well

Cho'ing is fkn annoying. Bad sportsmanship to shout so loud, it's a disturbance to the opponent.. And clearly something Ma Lin played on in this match, given he knew about Maze's temper..

ugotownedk Exactly...Ma Lin is hardly known for his sportsmanship anyway...very few Chinese players actually have any sportsman spirit, Wang Liqin being a pleasant exception....they just want to win by any means, fair or unfair.

@@inyourface123 clearly you don’t know the sport nor the Chinese team. It is a norm in ping pong for the players to shout after a deserved point and Wang Chuqin was infamous for once throwing the racket at his opponent.
