Chapter 32: The Civil War of the National Team

Li Ping, tall and powerful, is 17 years old this year, 5 years older than Ye Hao. He is a right-handed horizontal shot, two-sided reverse glue, arc circle style of play, a typical "force fighting faction".

The game began, Li Ping served first, and his serve was a squat serve, which is also called a submarine serve.

Ye Hao doesn't care whether the opponent is a submarine or an aircraft carrier, the first board is a storm, and the opponent's incoming ball is pulled back at lightning speed.

Before Li Ping could finish the swing posture of the second board, the racket was still under the table, and the table tennis ball had already fallen on the table.

Ye Hao scored, 1:0.

On the second ball, Li Ping continued to serve with a backhand squat. Due to the strong spin of this ball, the landing point is also shallow. Therefore, Ye Hao did not attack as strongly as the previous goal, but chose to play with the opponent for the small ball in the table.

Although Li Ping is not known for his delicate touch, he did not show the slightest flaw in the several rounds of competition in the stage. In the end, Ye Hao couldn't bear it anymore and forcibly attacked, but the pick in the stage was caught.

The two sides are back on the same page.

Next, it was Ye Hao's turn to serve, and the serve was a backhand reverse spin. After Li Ping received the ball, he had to return the ball to Ye Hao's backhand position.

At this time, Ye Hao, who had already been prepared, twisted and pulled vigorously with his backhand, adding a strong spin to the ball, and the ball went straight to the opposite table, crossing a beautiful arc in the air.

However, Li Ping looked like he was facing a great enemy at this time, and he didn't have the slightest idea of appreciation. His response was to pull the ball over the table with a backhand.

However, although his return ball was successfully on the stage, the quality was really not high, Ye Hao had already waited sideways, and sent the ball to the empty space of Li Ping's table with a straight forehand.

2:1, Ye Hao led again.

At the beginning of the first game, the two played back and forth, and the score was never opened. However, at the end of the first game, Li Ping began to be unable to withstand Ye Hao's attack.

Ye Hao's strong forehand pulled, Li Ping could still pull a few boards at first, and then he couldn't support it, so he could only start to put the high ball.

Under the long-term defense, there must be a mistake, Li Ping's attack did not come out, and the situation on the field was naturally unfavorable to him. In the end, the score of the first game was 11:8, and Ye Hao got off to a good start.

During the break, Li Ping was thinking about how to change his tactics in order to gain the initiative in the second game. Ye Hao's side did not change anything, and continued to adhere to the original style of play. Since it was a civil war, there was no coach to guide this game, which is the tradition of the Chinese team.

The second game began, and after the trial and understanding of the first game, the two sides started to attack as soon as they came up. Li Ping played more aggressively and increased the number of fights.

Although Ye Hao expected that the opponent would fight, he could only do his best first, he believed that as long as he played at a normal level, no matter how much the opponent tossed, it would be in vain.

Sure enough, although the fighting tactics made Li Ping take the lead in this game for a while, this style of play has a high error rate after all.

After taking the lead at 8:6, Li Ping couldn't fight one after another, pulling the ball out of bounds or killing the ball into the net, giving Ye Hao points.

Ye Hao took this opportunity to overtake the score, 9:8.

Next, Li Ping's serve, before he could start fighting, Ye Hao attacked first, completely disrupting his plan.

Ye Hao relied on the comprehensive performance of the forehand and backhand attacks, and the last two goals killed Li Ping without leaving a piece of armor, and the evening was not guaranteed.

11:8, the same score, the same last-minute force, the results of the first two games are strikingly similar.

The failure of the first two games made Li Ping very frustrated, and at the beginning of the third game, he obviously did not adjust his mentality.

As soon as he came up, Ye Hao won easily with his own serve points, and he also attacked actively when the opponent served, and soon took a 6:0 lead.

Due to the huge disadvantage at the beginning, the rest of the game basically became garbage time, and Li Ping completely lost the confidence to recover this game.

Ye Hao led his opponent with a score of 3:0 and forced Li Ping to the edge of the precipice of elimination.

Because the pit in front of him was too big, Li Ping no longer had the confidence to fill the pit. In the fourth game, the game continued to be one-sided.

1:0,2:0,……,10:2,11:2。

Ye Hao won the game more easily than in the previous game. So far, the results of this game have come out, Ye Hao swept teammate Li Ping and entered the top 8 of singles.

The rest of the Chinese team, except for Li Ping, who was blocked in the quarterfinals, Qiu Yike and Zhang Chao all successfully advanced. In addition, there is a familiar name for Ye Hao in the quarterfinals, he is the supernova Mizutani Hayabusa from Japan.

However, Ye Hao's opponent in the next round is not him, but South Korean player Kim Zexiu. Mizutani Hayabusa's opponent is Ye Hao's teammate Zhang Chao. Qiu Yike will next face another Japanese player, Takuya Ota.

In the quarter-finals, after Ye Hao easily won the South Korean player, he came to watch Zhang Chao's match against Mizutani Hayabusa.

When he arrived at the courtside, he found that Qiu Yike had also won his opponent and came here, along with another member of the Chinese team, Li Ping, and several Chinese coaches.

However, Zhang Chao's situation on the field was not optimistic, and he fell behind 2:3. Now is the beginning of the crucial sixth inning.

In the first ball, Zhang Chao's serve was soft, and Mizutani Hayabusa on the opposite side seized the opportunity with his forehand and grabbed it sideways, and the score became 0:1.

In the second ball, after four or five back and forth, Zhang Chao took the initiative to make a mistake, pulled the ball into the net, sent the opponent a point, and continued to fall behind 0:2.

In the third ball, Mizutani Hayabusa sneaked a backhand long ball, Zhang Chao was not fully prepared, but he did not seize the original offensive opportunity, and was finally torn by Mizutani Hayabusa's backhand, 0:3.

……

In the fifteenth ball, Zhang Chao fell behind in the score, and the more he played, he forced an attack when the opportunity was not good, and pulled the ball out of bounds with his forehand, and the score came to 5:10, and life and death were only in the first line.

The faces of the Chinese team in the field battle were solemn and the atmosphere was tense. On the other side of the pitch, on the other side of the pitch, the Japanese side was much more cheerful and they even started to celebrate the victory early.

"Little Japan, it's really arrogant, didn't you just win a game." After Li Ping saw the celebration of the Japanese team, he couldn't help it.

"yes, the game isn't over yet!" Qiu Yike also echoed beside him.

But as soon as the words fell, Zhang Chao made a mistake in serving and gave the last point to Mizutani Hayabusa, and the game ended.

At this time, the cheers of the Japanese team were even louder, and Mizutani Hayabusa, who won the game, also had a proud look with his nostrils facing the sky.

He came to the Chinese team with a smug smile and made a celebratory gesture, which made everyone hate it.

"Hmph, let him be proud for a while. In the next game, let me teach him to play well, and let him understand that the Chinese team is invincible! Qiu Yixin swears.
