The second round of the mixed doubles competition began, and as the most eye-catching match of the round, Ye Hao/Xu Xiaoyuan vs Lei Zhenhua/Ding Ling attracted many fans and spectators, with the Chinese and Koreans being the most prominent.

And at this moment, whether it is China's CCTV sports channel or South Korea's domestic TV station, this game will be broadcast live. It's just mixed doubles, it's just the second round. It can be seen that the first appearance of a multinational group has successfully attracted everyone's attention.

After the start of the game, Ye Hao served first in the first game, and the quality of his serve was good, leaving no chance for Lei Zhenhua, who received the ball, and the opponent had to pull a board lightly and return the ball to the past. Xu Xiaoyuan, who was behind, slipped the ball, and the rotation and landing point were just right, and Ding Ling also failed to find a chance to kill with one hit. Then when it was Ye Hao's turn to receive the ball, the situation changed abruptly, he did not continue to choose to wait, but launched a strong attack, and rushed straight to the left side of the opposite table.

Ye Hao's sudden attack surprised Lei Zhenhua, who was about to receive the ball on the opposite side, and he hurriedly started to defend, of course, the result was to block the ball back in a slightly embarrassed way.

Then it was Xu Xiaoyuan's turn to receive the ball, she saw Ye Hao's attack causing the opponent's return ball to bounce high on her own table, and no longer cut the ball conservatively, but seized the opportunity and came to a forehand sideways smash.

Xu Xiaoyuan's smash further compressed the defensive space of the opposite combination, so that Ding Ling, who received the ball, could not directly launch a counterattack, and could only barely pull the ball over the table. Then Ye Hao, who followed with a smash ball, completely ended the suspense and won the first point of the game.

The multinational combination won the first goal strongly and got off to a good start, making the Korean fans outside the stadium and the Korean audience in front of the TV cheer. On the other hand, on the supporters of the Chinese team, some people applauded, some people had calm faces, and a very few people had complicated expressions. Obviously, there are Chinese athletes in both combinations, and the palms and backs of their hands are full of meat, which makes it difficult for Chinese fans and spectators to choose.

The first game followed as the result of the first goal, and the multinational duo of Ye Hao/Xu Xiaoyuan gradually gained the upper hand on the court. Although they have only been training together for a short period of ten days, and it is only the third time to participate in the official competition together, it is undeniable that Ye Hao and Xu Xiaoyuan have had a good chemistry and enter the game very quickly. In the end, in this game, Ye Hao/Xu Xiaoyuan won with a score of 11:6, leading 1:0 in the total score.

After the start of the second game, the Chinese duo of Lei Zhenhua and Ding Ling began to move more aggressively, and the two began to deal with the pressure of the multinational combination with sharp attacks and solid defense.

After the start of this game, Ye Hao and Xu Xiaoyuan obviously felt the change of the opposite combination, they knew that at this time, they had to suppress the opponent's momentum and not let the opponent get up, otherwise the game would be deadlocked.

Under Xu Xiaoyuan's defense and strategy, Ye Hao was full of firepower, and used his strong and threatening attack to suppress the upward momentum of the opposite Chinese combination again and again.

In the end, the Ye Hao/Xu Xiaoyuan combination successfully defeated the opponent again with a difference of two points, won the second game, and took a 2:0 lead in the overall score. The pressure of the game suddenly fell on Lei Zhenhua and Ding Ling, but the characteristics of the players of the Chinese table tennis team are that they are pressure-resistant and dare to play against the wind. This is inextricably linked to the dire situation they are suffering from at home.

It is extremely difficult for a Chinese table tennis player to stand out in China and enter the national team. They need to go through the selection and elimination of the municipal team, the provincial team, the second national team, the first national team and other layers before they can finally achieve positive results. It is precisely because of the difficulty of this upward path that Chinese players have a firmer belief and a stronger desire to win. Therefore, although it was an unfavorable situation with an aggregate score of 0:2, the Chinese pair of Lei Zhenhua/Ding Ling did not give up, and they launched another charge in the third game.

At the beginning of the third game, Lei Zhenhua and Ding Ling made a series of efforts, staring at Xu Xiaoyuan. Because they know that it is too difficult to find a breakthrough point from Ye Hao, the only hope is in Xu Xiaoyuan, as long as this point is broken, the situation of the game will change substantially.

I have to say that Lei Zhenhua and Ding Ling's tactics are correct and effective. Once in the qualifying competition, the Thai pair actually came to fight Ye Hao/Xu Xiaoyuan with this idea, but the strength of the two was too weak to cause damage to Ye Hao and them. And Lei Zhenhua and Ding Ling are different, although they are not top masters at this time, their strength is also a threat to ordinary athletes, and the effect of 1+1 is greater than 2 makes Ye Hao and Xu Xiaoyuan suppressed in this game.

In the end, Ye Hao and Xu Xiaoyuan lost the game, and the total score was chased by the opponent to 2:1, and more importantly, the momentum of their victory was ruthlessly contained. If you can't find a way to deal with it, and on the contrary, the opponent's momentum is getting stronger and stronger, then the final winner or loser of the game is really unknown.

So after the end of the third game, Ye Hao and Xu Xiaoyuan immediately began to discuss countermeasures, they must crack the opponent's tactical intentions, the focus of which is how to let Xu Xiaoyuan, who has become a target, get rid of the embarrassing situation of being besieged now, bring the game back on track, and bring them back to their own rhythm.

"Try to give them short balls, don't give the opponent a chance to start shooting, and drag the game until the time I catch the ball." This is Ye Hao's method, as long as Xu Xiaoyuan can control the strength and landing point of the chipping ball, do not give the opponent a comfortable opportunity to attack, and give Ye Hao a chance to reverse the game, then the result will be very different.

After listening to Ye Hao's suggestion, Xu Xiaoyuan nodded her cute little head vigorously, she knew that she was the weak link of this combination, if she couldn't withstand it, once she was broken through by the opponent, then it would affect her partner and it would lead to losing. Therefore, Xu Xiaoyuan made up her mind to do what Ye Hao said, and what she needed to accomplish was very simple, that is, to persist until Ye Hao made a move.

After some discussion, Ye Hao and Xu Xiaoyuan were ready to return to the court and continue the game. Before this, Ye Hao stretched out his hand and said to Xu Xiaoyuan: "Fighting! ”

Xu Xiaoyuan looked at Ye Hao beside him with an encouraging expression, put his little hand into the other party's hand, and replied coquettishly: "Fighting!" ”
