Due to the new format of the Page system at this World Table Tennis Championships, the first place in the group can bring the benefit of allowing one loss when competing for the right to the final, while the second place in the group needs to win two consecutive games to enter the final. In fact, both China and South Korea have achieved four wins in four games before, and have both entered the semi-finals. However, the harsh new format has forced the upcoming teams to go all out in order to get the lead in the second stage of the competition.

Yes, the Chinese men's team sent Ye Hao, Ma Lin, and Wang Liqin "Trident" to the battle, with Ye Hao as the first main force, Wang Liqin and Ma Lin playing the second and third positions, and making every effort to encircle and suppress the South Korean team. The South Korean team sent the strongest lineup of Oh Sang-yun, Yoo Seung-min and Ju Se-hyuk to fight to the death with the Chinese team. The reason why the South Korean team dared to shout out to kill the Chinese team before the start of the World Table Tennis Championships was that Ryu Seungmin and Zhu Shihyuk, the former was superior in strength and good at fighting, and repeatedly created upsets; The latter is a big dark horse, and he defeated Marin at last year's World Table Tennis Championships. These two are the strength of the South Korean team.

Wang Liqin and the No. 1 player of the South Korean team, Liu Chengmin, played first, and the two sides played inextricably at the beginning, and the score was deadlocked until 6:6, and then the high-spirited Liu Chengmin won the first game with 11:6.

Wang Liqin, who played more restrainedly, still did not let go of his hands at the beginning of the second game, and after 4:4, Liu Chengmin began to exert his power again. Sideways forehand fighting, one fight and one accurate, like divine help, gradually the score was pulled apart again. At 11:7, Yoo Seung-min went to the next city.

Wang Liqin, who was forced to die, finally gradually entered the state, and in the third game, he gave full play to his strength and strong holding ability, while Liu Chengmin's success rate in fighting gradually declined, and his own mistakes continued to increase. The game began to enter Wang Liqin's pace, and at 11:7, Wang Liqin pulled back a game.

The score between the two was 1:2, and Yoo Seungmin still held the lead.

However, Yoo Seungmin, who lost one game, did not sink, he took the initiative to change his play, strengthened the change of serve, and paid attention to controlling the landing point, and took the lead in the fourth game, 8:5. Wang Liqin, who was behind, returned to the court again after Liu Guoliang called a timeout, but the situation did not improve. Yoo Seungmin, who played well, seemed to be unstoppable, and at 11:8, he won another game to open the scoring for South Korea.

The Chinese men's table tennis fell behind for the first time in this World Table Tennis Championships! The situation is not optimistic, and Ye Hao, who is the second to appear, has a heavy responsibility and cannot afford to lose.

At this time, the mood of the South Korean team was high.

"Zhu Shihe, it's up to you in the second game. Kill Ye Hao, this is your chance for revenge! "The Korean coach is constantly encouraging the players who are about to play. Yoo Seungmin's victory in the first game showed him that the pre-match claim of defeating the Chinese team seemed to be in front of him and was about to come true.

Zhu Shihe came on the court, looked at Ye Hao on the opposite table, and remembered that he was eliminated by the other party in the semifinals of the World Table Tennis Championships last year, and could only settle for the third place and lost the opportunity to compete for the championship. A strong anger suddenly surged in his heart, which also made Zhu Shihe feel full of strength at the same time, and he needed to vent!

Ye Hao no matter how indignant the opponent is, how unwilling, he only knows that now the Chinese team is behind, and his task is to win the second game and equalize for the team. As a result, a wonderful offensive and defensive battle kicked off.

In the second ball, after Zhu Shihe defended with a six-shot chipping ball, he suddenly counterattacked with a forehand and killed Ye Hao by surprise. 2:0, the South Korean team leads.

In the sixth ball, Ye Hao was anxious to equalize, and faced Zhu Shihe's slicing ball too hard, wanting to kill the opponent with a slap. As a result, the initiative made a mistake. 2:4, Ye Hao is still behind.

In the ninth goal, it was another defensive counterattack, and after four rounds of defense, Zhu Shihyuk scored a beautiful backhand quick volley. The score became 6:3, and Zhu Shihyuk firmly grasped the lead.

The big score behind made Ye Hao finally sober up, he did not blindly force the opponent to kill the opponent immediately and kill the game, but chose to patiently deal with the opponent. Gradually, the score was caught up by a point.

"I'll buckle!"

"I'll buckle it again!"

"I don't believe that I can't kill you!"

In the face of Zhu Shihe's difficult chipping style of play, Ye Hao had no choice but to use continuous smashes again and again, on the premise of ensuring stability, trying to change the line, and then killing the opponent. After another five rounds of smashing, Ye Hao got the last point, 11:9, and completed the big reversal with difficulty and won the first game.

In the second game, Ye Hao focused on changing one point - the landing point. Ye Hao pulled the ball to Zhu Shihe's most uncomfortable middle, causing Zhu Shihe's mistakes to increase greatly. Ye Hao led the score all the way, 11:6, and won another game.

In the third game, after Ye Hao led 4:1, he was a little eager to win, and his mistakes slowly increased, and the score was overtaken by Zhu Shihe 8:7. After reaching ten draws, Zhu Shihe, who was gradually familiar with Ye Hao's style of play, strengthened his attack and took the lead in getting the game point, 11:10.

At this time, Ye Hao remembered the Haikou he boasted in front of Liu Guoliang before the game, and he would not lose any game in the World Table Tennis Championships this time. Ye Hao's heart was shouting: "I can't lose, I can't lose a game!" ”

The next ball was Zhu Shihyuk's turn to serve, and after Ye Hao pulled the ball up steadily, he waited patiently for the opportunity. Zhu Shihe counterattacked, and pulled a forehand against the board!

"This is the time to wait!" Ye Hao did not show weakness, and also used his forehand to pull Zhu Shihe. The two of them entered the stage of stalemate, and this was the opportunity that Ye Hao was waiting for. He is afraid that Zhu Shihe has been defending like a turtle, and he is not afraid of the opponent fighting against him. Sure enough, after Ye Hao's forehand rushed with a board, his backhand suddenly tore obliquely and scored. The speed of the ball was very fast, and Zhu Shihyuk's racket did not touch the ball.

At 11:11, Ye Hao tied the score.

The two sides changed serves, and Ye Hao's serve landed behind, and it was a half-stage "tempting" serve. Zhu Shihe really couldn't bear the loneliness, changed the playing style of cutting the ball and counterattacking, and directly received the serve to attack. Ye Hao's goal was achieved perfectly, and he once again formed a pattern of holding and attacking with his opponent. This is Ye Hao's forte, the forehand and backhand are powerful one after another, and Zhu Shihe can't resist it at all. In the end, Ye Hao scored with a continuous rush of his forehand and got the match point.

From his own game point to his opponent's match point, Zhu Shihyuk's gap was a bit big, which greatly affected his emotions. It was originally a moment of life and death when he was behind in two games, but Zhu Shihe, who was under a lot of pressure, did not resist it after all, and the quality of his serve was average, and he was directly attacked by Ye Hao to receive the serve.

At 3:0, Ye Hao swept Zhu Shihe, and then sent his former subordinates to another defeat, and also equalized the score for the backward Chinese men's table tennis.

One to one, in the first two games, the two teams of China and South Korea were tied.
