Chapter 81: Revenge
On the last day of the Open, there weren't many people left to play. The men's singles final, the final of the competition, was held in the evening local time in Greece.
Ye Hao's opponent in the men's singles final was his teammate, and he just defeated himself in the men's doubles final, this person is Ma Lin. The two met again in the final of last year's Table Tennis World Cup.
"Who do you think will win the championship?"
"Ma Lin, he just defeated Ye Hao in doubles, and his momentum is in full swing."
"Not necessarily, it's a singles match after all."
"Yes, as long as Ye Hao enters the singles final, he hasn't lost the championship yet."
There was a lot of discussion within the national table tennis at this time.
……
Marin was confident at this time, "I can beat you in doubles, and I can also beat you in singles!" ”
Ye Hao looked at the high-spirited Marin opposite, and couldn't help but show a trace of murderous aura in his eyes. "You can win me in doubles, but I won't lose in singles!"
The first game of the game is often the most close, and this game is no exception. As soon as they came up, the two showed their own powers, especially Marin, who had a very rich offensive means.
In the first ball, after Marin gained the advantage through the short swing he was good at, he scored with a sideways rush in a fighting style.
1:0。
In the second ball, Ye Hao received the serve and attacked with a backhand, and the overlord twisted a strong attack and successfully equalized the score.
1:1。
……
Until the score reached 7:7, the two were tied again.
It was Marin's turn to serve again, and he used his trick - over-spinning the devil's serve. Although the friction time of the serve is very short, the spin is weird, and after crossing the net, it will have a turning back effect.
Sure enough, Ye Hao suffered a loss, returned the ball to the net, and Marin scored.
8:7。
In the next ball, Marin repeated his old tricks, or over-spinning the devil's serve, full of spin power. Ye Hao was a lot more cautious this time, the angle of the paddle was larger, and he rubbed the board lightly and returned the ball. However, due to the high bounce of the ball, it was still for Marin, who was ready to turn sideways, to seize the opportunity.
Picky!
Score!
At 9:7, Ye Hao lost two points in a row, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
"What should I do, do I have to attack violently? But if you want to give full play to Marin's lethality, the concubine can't do it! ”
In the end, Ye Hao decided not to follow the trend, saving Dong Shi from following suit, but was seized by the opponent. Dealing with people like Marin who like to win by surprise, Ye Hao still chose to send a short ball in the counter-spin table safely.
Ma Lin rubbed a short ball back, and Ye Hao was also not to be outdone and continued to swing short. The two of them carefully fought the small ball in the stage.
Suddenly, Marin's return ball landed a little later, and the bounce height was slightly higher, which made Ye Hao, who had been waiting for the opportunity, excited.
Backhand lightning pump!
The table tennis ball went straight to Marin's backhand, and because the ball was fast enough, Marin didn't have time to react and score.
At 9:8, Ye Hao pulled back a point and narrowed the gap behind.
Ye Hao continued to serve, still reverse spin, or a short ball in the table. Marin didn't wait any longer this time, and directly began to provoke. However, he underestimated Ye Hao's serving power, used too much force, made a mistake in the attack, and the table tennis ball flew out of the table.
At 9:9, Ye Hao equalized again.
The next two balls are Marin's serve points again, and Ye Hao is waiting for it.
"Instead of using his specialty, he stole a topspin ball!" Wang Hao, who was fighting outside the field, exclaimed.
However, Ye Hao on the field was not as surprised as Wang Hao, he had already made all kinds of preparations, and the opponent was known for his ever-changing style, especially at this critical moment.
Ye Hao was well prepared, and directly launched an attack sideways, taking advantage in one fell swoop. Marin didn't expect that the other party had already judged his intentions and was waiting for him to take the bait. He scrambled to get the ball back over the table, and was greeted with another slam dunk.
At this time, how could Ye Hao, who had the upper hand, give Ma Lin a chance to escape, and the move was to put the other party to death.
Pong, pong, pong.
After three consecutive board dunks, Marin couldn't resist it anymore, and finally lost points.
At 9:10, it was Marin's turn to fall behind, and the next goal was the end of the game, and there was no room for loss.
"Looks like you're going to have to use a trick!" Marin regretted in his heart. Sure enough, the next ball appeared again.
However, there is no need to be old in the use of moves, and it is basically impossible for top table tennis players to score directly by serving. Ye Hao has already suffered a loss in this game, how can he make another mistake this time?
"I knew you wouldn't be able to resist this trick, watch me retaliate with a tooth for a tooth!"
Sideways, aggressive!
Ye Hao chose to use Marlin's way to fight Marin. This sudden service rush caught Marin off guard.
"How could it be, how dare he? Shouldn't it be a transition goal first? Countless questions flashed through Marin's mind.
Field.
"This ball is really bold!"
"Dare to pick the serve like this, and let him succeed, Ye Hao is very lucky!"
"Marin is a goose all day long, but he was pecked in the eye by a goose."
"yes, I shot myself in the foot."
Wang Liqin, Kong Linghui, Chen Qi, Ma Long and several other members of the men's team couldn't help but express the same emotion when they saw the scene on the field.
Ye Hao fought with one board and finally won the first game.
The total score was 1:0, and Ye Hao took the lead.
From being just two goals away from winning, to being equalised, to losing the first game by two goals, Marin was on a rollercoaster ride, sliding from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.
The drop is too big!
This made Marin's play in the second game very erratic.
At the beginning of 5:1, Ye Hao took the lead, which basically predicted the outcome of this game.
7:2,
9:3,
11:5。
Victory really belongs to Ye Hao.
If you want to talk about Marin, his ball skills are not bad, he trains hard, and he has enough hard work, but his psychological fluctuations are too great in the game. Downwind ball, you can win the beautiful and domineering side leakage; Once it falls behind, is reversed, and the psychological defense line is broken, it is very likely to break the jar and shatter it to the end.
This is also the reason why Marin's results have been inconsistent right now. He has the highlight moments of reaching the finals of the World Series in a row, the sluggish state of falling in the first two rounds, and the regretful moment of being reversed in the game.
What Ye Hao has to do now is to win the game in one go.
In the third game, Ye Hao maintained the active style of play in the previous game, stable and fierce, and oppressive full score. Under the pressure of such a high-pressure tactic, Marin never recovered to his peak state in the first game, and his skills went to three or four out of ten, leaving only six or seven successes.
In the master duel, not the slightest flaw can be revealed, let alone Marin, who is now lacking in combat power? The only result of the game is to lose! Lose! Lose!
The score of the third game was 11:5.
The score in the fourth game was 11:6.
With a total score of 4:0, Ye Hao swept Marin to win the championship, and his revenge was successful, avenging the men's doubles match.
