The first men's singles semi-final ended with Ye Hao's disastrous victory, although the process was very tortuous, but in terms of results, it was consistent with the plan of the national table tennis leaders.

Before the start of the second semi-final, all the reporters on the scene, whether it was interviewing the players or the coach, although they did not forget to mention the two games of Yoo Seungmin, but more attention was focused on the magical Waldner. Even Jiang Jialiang, who came as a CCTV on-site commentator, was also optimistic about Lao Wa, "Sure Lao Wa wins!" With his experience and skills, Yoo Seungmin can't compare. ”

Just as everyone expected, some leaders of the Chinese table tennis team thought the same.

Before the game even started, the Swedish fans were singing and dancing in the stands, as if Waldner had already won the championship. In contrast, the Koreans seemed very calm, and coach Kim Taek-so even recorded the portrait while directing.

As soon as the first game started, Liu Chengmin looked full of momentum, and every time he scored a point, he stomped the floor loudly, but the old tile on the opposite side still looked leisurely and leisurely, tepidly using the changeable and tricky line he is best at, and gradually caught up with the score. Therefore, even after losing the first game 9:11, Lao Wa still didn't look nervous at all.

After the start of the second game, Waldner continued his "game", using patience and experience to mobilize Yoo Seungmin back and forth. It wasn't until he pulled back a game by the same score that he waved his clenched fist and seemed to say, "How's it going?" Don't bully me old! ”

The coaches and leaders of the Chinese table tennis team outside the court are also watching this game. "As I expected, Lao Wa was still better, and after the equalizer, he still overtook the score, and then won and entered the final." A certain leader secretly said proudly in his heart.

However, he didn't expect that the situation would take a sharp turn from the third game onwards. With the on-the-spot command of a famous general, the young Yoo Seung-min intelligently changed his tactics. He began to downplay the first three boards, fought with his opponents with attack and patience, and took the lead.

In the third game, Liu Chengmin first led by a score of 7:2, and after Waldner chased the score to 5:8, Liu Chengmin made another effort and took the lead in getting the game point at 10:6. However, Lao Wa deserves to have a big heart, 7:10, 8:10, 9:10, three game points in a row. But in the end, he still didn't resist, and at Yoo Seungmin's last game point, he actually ate the serve! Mistake!

At 11:9, Yoo Seungmin scored directly on the serve and won the third game.

At the beginning of the fourth game, it seemed to be a repeat of the previous game, and Yoo Seungmin took a huge lead in the opening game.

4：1，

6：4，

7：4，

8：4，

9：5，

10：5，

It was Liu Chengmin who got the game point first, he did not make any mistakes in the previous game in this game, did not waste a goal, and won the fourth game directly 11:5.

With an aggregate score of 3:1, Waldner was cornered.

"Lao Wa, you're fighting for some anger!" A leader of the national table tennis said silently in his heart on the side.

However, Waldner on the court didn't seem to hear this call and expectation, and the situation still did not change at the beginning of the fifth game.

1：0，

2：0，

3：1，

4：1，

……

9：5，

10：5，

Yoo Seungmin got the match point of this match, and the next ball was his service point. Lao Wa stared at Liu Chengmin intently, shooting, swinging, and extending hair.

Bounds! It's another return error! In this semi-final, Waldner didn't know how many serves he ate from Yoo Seungmin, and at the most critical moment, he still dropped the chain!

4:1, Yoo Seungmin defeated the 39-year-old Grand Slam winner Waldner and entered the men's singles final of table tennis at the Athens Olympics. This result surprised too many people, Swedish fans couldn't believe it, Chinese fans couldn't believe it, fans around the world couldn't believe it, and some leaders of the Chinese table tennis team didn't dare and didn't want to believe it.

However, facts speak louder than words, and the men's singles final will be played against Ye Hao (China) vs Yoo Seungmin (South Korea).

The two men's singles semi-finals were all over, and the storm arose again after the game......

Chinese media: "The two tigers of national table tennis are fighting, both are defeated, and the South Korean team is afraid of profiting!" ”

South Korean media: "Taiji Tiger enters the Olympic table tennis men's singles final again after many years, and Yoo Seungmin will replicate the miracle of his predecessors!" ”

Swedish media: "Valdneva lost to the young South Korean player and will compete with the other core of the Chinese team for the bronze medal. ”

International Table Tennis Federation: "The Chinese team fought seven games in the civil war, showing the Olympic spirit!" ”

After a leader of the national table tennis saw the comments of the International Table Tennis Federation, his heart was full of blood and blood, and he couldn't wait to spit out a mouthful of old blood. NND, you guys are gloating!

In the women's singles final that night, Zhang Yiling swept North Korea's Kim Xiangmei 4:0 to win the championship, winning the 20th gold medal of the Olympic Games for the Chinese Olympic team, which is also China's 100th gold medal in the Summer Olympics. So far, the Chinese team has won three of the four gold medals in table tennis at this Olympic Games, and only one men's singles gold medal is left, which can be collected and summoned to the dragon.

As the last barrier to protect this gold medal, Ye Hao can be described as a great responsibility. However, at this time, his state is not optimistic. After the semi-finals with Wang Liqin, he collapsed directly in the court tired, but the coach and players of the national table tennis were startled. With the support of everyone, Ye Hao left the court tremblingly, and after coming to the court, he sat on the chair again, thirsty but lost the strength to drink water.

"Trouble!"

This is not only what the head coach of the men's team, Liu Guoliang, is worried about, but also what all the members of the men's team, including the entire Chinese table tennis team, are worried about. In this fierce semi-final, Ye Hao exhausted his physical strength, like a lost mobile phone that needed time to recharge. However, the most tense thing now is time, tomorrow night, the final will start, and there is not much time left for Ye Hao and the Chinese team. (Why is this so familiar, where do you often hear it?) ）

Massage! Physical therapy! What works, as long as Ye Hao's physical strength and state can be restored as soon as possible. The leaders spoke again, and did everything they could to "save" Ye Hao, if one person didn't massage enough, then two or three, as many as they could. You massage the left hand, he massages the right hand, that who massages the left leg, and there is a massage of the right leg. Ye Hao can be regarded as enjoying the treatment of an emperor.

At the same time, the coaching staff is also in full swing, and the previous final imaginary opponent Lao Wa has been out, and Yoo Seungmin has unexpectedly become the final opponent. How to deal with this big dark horse in South Korea has become a top priority for the Chinese coaching staff.

As the minutes tick by, the men's singles final of table tennis at the Athens Olympics is getting closer and closer......
