Chapter 21: The Last Hope

In the afternoon, Ye Hao's singles 1/8 finals began.

Because he was the only single seedling left in the capital team, Ye Hao felt that the burden on his shoulders suddenly became heavy. However, he did not feel nervous or afraid, but rather a sense of excitement and excitement to face the challenge.

Capital team Ye Hao VS Bayi team Yang Jie.

In the first game, Ye Hao chose to take the lead and took the initiative to attack. As long as he judges that the quality of the opponent's serve and return is not high, he immediately uses the powerful twisting and pulling of the backhand combined with the fast forehand to complement each other to give him the upper hand.

From 3:0 to 7:2, and then to 11:4, Ye Hao easily won the first game.

At the beginning of the second game, Yang Jie purposefully controlled the landing point of the table tennis ball in response to the loss of the previous game and increased the rotation of the ball, so as to reduce Ye Hao's chance of getting started.

However, it was quickly cracked by Ye Hao, who successfully dealt with the tricky return ball with excellent defensive awareness, and was even less afraid of spinning, and responded with a high-quality curve ball with his strength.

The result was 11:7, Yang Jie lost two sets in a row, stood in the crater, and lost one more game to pieces.

However, even though Yang Jie knew that he was in danger, he had no choice, and he was still killed in the third game and lost his armor and lost 5:11.

Ye Hao won the 16-8 game under the expectant eyes of everyone in the capital team.

In other singles matches, Zhang Jike of the Shandong team advanced strongly and won a place in the top 8. The remaining 6 seats were occupied by the Bayi men's team for 3, the Liaoning men's team for 2, and the Shandong team for another one.

Next, the men's and women's teams of the capital ushered in the competition for the top four respectively. Since the situation in singles does not reach the predetermined goal, there is no room for loss in the team competition.

In the third round of the team competition, the first singles sent by the capital men's team was Ye Hao, who lived up to expectations after he came on the court, defeating the players of the Liaoning team 3:0, and the opponent also entered the top 8 of singles, but his strength was not as good as Ye Hao.

In the second doubles match, the combination of the capital team was as disappointing as ever, with 8:11 in the first game, 9:11 in the second game, 11:9 in the third game, and 6:11 in the fourth game. They still lost the game 1-3.

In this way, all the pressure fell on Ma Long. At this time, Ma Long was only a 13-year-old boy, and he was far from reaching the performance of the national team later.

At the beginning of the game, he did not get into the state quickly, but made a lot of unnecessary mistakes, and the situation was very passive. His opponent became more and more confident, roaring with excitement from time to time.

At 7:11, Malone lost one game first.

At the beginning of the second game, Ma Long stabilized his position, did not open the score at the beginning, and played inextricably with the opponent, and soon the game came to an 8:8 draw.

Liaoning's players also entered the quarterfinals of singles, and their strength is not weak. At the critical moment, he did not relent, but boldly fought against Ma Long.

In fact, Ma Long's forehand and backhand strength are balanced, and he is not afraid to play with his opponent. But helplessly, affected by the loss of the singles match, the state is not good, and the fluctuations are great. In the end, this game did not hold on, and was won by the opponent 11:9.

Coach Lu Wei and Team Leader Yao Bin on the sidelines saw this, looked at each other, and felt that the situation was very bad. However, when Ma Long received inter-game guidance, he still encouraged him, telling him to put down his burden, try his best, and not worry about winning or losing.

It's a pity that today's Ma Long is really not a normal level, and he failed to withstand the pressure in the last game, turned the tide, and finally lost the third game and lost the game.

This also means that the capital men's team stopped in the top 8 in this team competition and missed the top four, only one step away from the top four goals set before the game, but it is out of reach.

The women's team in the capital is no better than the men's team. Originally, it was not even as good as the men's team in terms of strength, only Ding Ling's strength had a certain advantage, and it was an unexpected joy to be able to join hands with the men's team to enter the top eight.

In this round of the team competition, the women's team finally lost to the Bayi women's team with a score of 0:2, which also ended the journey of this competition.

Up to now, only Ye Hao has the capital team left with the task of the game. The rest were eliminated in both singles and team competitions, and it can be said that Ye Hao's singles match became the last hope and the last straw for the capital team.

If Ye Hao can't break into the top three, then all the goals set before the game will be in vain, and this time the capital team will get nothing and return empty-handed.

Next, in Ye Hao's 1/4 finals, all the members of the capital team came out to cheer him on. The opponent of the game is from the Bayi team, called Jiao Ming, Ye Hao has no impression of him, it seems that this person has not played dazzling results in the future.

The next game proved Ye Hao's idea, the first two games of the opponent did not put much pressure on him, and the scores of 11:5 and 11:7 showed that Ye Hao was completely in control of the game.

In the third game, Jiao Ming finally brought a little impact to Ye Hao, but it was only a little. After Ye Hao withstood his initial fight, Jiao Ming could only raise the white flag and admit defeat without any means. In the final third game, the score was 11:6.

In the fourth game, Ye Hao won the game with a score of 11:5 without any suspense.

Ye Hao advanced to the semi-finals with a tough attitude, bringing a trace of comfort and sustenance to the capital team. Ma Long sat in the audience outside the stadium at this time, looked at the high-spirited Ye Hao, and swore deeply that the next person who stood on the court and had the last laugh would be himself.

On the other side, Zhang Jike also 4:0 and unstoppably entered the semifinals. The other two spots in the semi-finals were won by Bayi, but they were destined to play as green leaves. The grouping of the semifinals happened to be Ye Hao VS Ji Tianming of the Bayi team, and Zhang Jike VS Zhang Liqiang of the Bayi team.

In the stadium, Ye Hao saw Jike, who was later called the Tibetan Mastiff, several times, and at this time he already had a cold and cool expression. Ye Hao did not step forward to talk to him, he believed that the first official meeting between the two was in the arena.

The current grouping format gives this opportunity, and as long as Ye Hao can win the next match, he will play for the first time in an official match against the future world No. 1, the winner of a Grand Slam.

What could be more exciting and exciting than beating the future world number one and snatching the championship from him?

So in the semifinals, Ye Hao did not fully release his energy, but won the opponent calmly. He's going to save all his strength, his best form, for the final.

Zhang Jike didn't know anything about it, and he was focusing on his semi-finals. He was slow to heat, and after losing the first game, he finally won four games in a row and won the reversal.

The list of finalists is released: Ye Hao VS Zhang Jike.

Ye Hao has completed the goal set by the team, and now he has to fight for himself and fight for his first official competition championship!

In his previous life, Zhang Jike was the first place in the division competition and the champion of the final finals.

In this life, can Ye Hao change history and win the championship of the Northern Division from the other party?
