Ma Long (Beijing) vs Lin Gaoyuan (Guangdong) in Chinese National Games 2017. Beijing (D2) 1:3 Guangdong (B1) 1) Wang Chuqin 0:3 Lin Gaoyuan (7:11, 4:11, 10:12) 2) Ma Long 3:0 Zhou Qihao (11:8, 11:9, 11:9) 3) Yan An 1:3 Zhang Chao (4:11, 12:10, 6:11, 10:12) 4) Ma Long 2:3 Lin Gaoyuan (9:11, 12:10, 11:5, 12:14, 4:11) In fans meeting of China Open this June, Ma Long answered his fan's question about next goals. "Next, it is most important to stay healthy. That's my first goal. My second goal is to keep my athlete career as long as possible." We all wish he can fulfill his goals! But back to reality: in 2016, only one cortisone injection was reported on his wrist, before the Asia Olympic Qualification Tournament in April. So far in 2017, four injections were reported, one on hip joint, one on elbow and two on wrist. An injection on May 19 before he headed for WTTC. Ma Long was watching comedy show to distract himself from the pain. Getting old, tight competition schedules and ball change (ABS balls gave Ma Long some hard time and 729 seamless ball is used for the current National Games) are inevitable. ►SUBSCRIBE ├ coach EmRatThich └ https://goo.gl/mka8fH ►CONTACT ├ ask me any question └ https://www.facebook.com/EmRatThichVo
