Pips, short or long, are very hard for inverted rubber players to counter/control unless you consistently play against them. The difference is they know exactly what you do and counter effortlessly with precision. It takes a long time to adjust, confusing your mind, tactics, and reflexes. Professionals, however, can put them away with ferocious spin and lightning speed. Something that we, amateurs, can only watch and admire.

15 frames per second does not work for watching table tennis.

The problem for Wang is that, although he probably played dozens of these old-time block and smash pips artists in his youth, he hardly ever saw them once he got into the big time. Years against spinny rubbers makes it hard to re-adjust.
A second problem is that He has played hundreds of players, dozens of whom would, although much weaker, play the same approximate style as Wang. The only thing to help Wang is his extreme skill.
He re-adjusted by keeping a really short backswing, and not making any assumptions about how the ball would be returned. Amazingly, although most players, wisely, tend to put a bit of extra space from the table, Wang refuses to back away, in spite of his great height making that an easy thing to do. He insists on going toe-to-toe against He.

bullshit. You can't do anything better than Wang did. He Zhi Wen just outclassed him in the first part of the match

Alfonso Garcia , so WLQ won 4:2 sets thanks Tubeist-dan

I don’t know about WL adapting. It looked more like HZW went from making winners in the first game to unforced errors after game 1. If HZW would’ve continued with not making unforced errors he would’ve won.
