Listening to Liu Guoliang's complaints, Ye Hao felt heartache, after all, this is the team he once fought for, but now it seems to have become stormy, and at the same time he feels powerless, he is no longer the invincible table tennis overlord in the past, and the sequelae of his right hand make him feel powerless.

"Maybe it's just a temporary dilemma. The strength of our Chinese team is still very strong, Ma Lin and Wang Liqin are in the golden age of their careers, and there are young generations such as Wang Hao and Chen Qi, as well as a group of reserve forces such as Ma Long. Ye Hao could only cheer Liu Guoliang up.

Speaking of Malone, this little guy's overall performance this year is quite good, especially in the final of the German Open, but unfortunately he lost to Samsolov in the end and missed out on the championship. He and you used to be teammates in the Capital team, right? Liu Guoliang said.

"Yes, we both entered the Capital team at the same time." Ye Hao remembered what happened four years ago, and he still remembers it vividly, from the continuous losses in the selection of the National Junior Championship team to the triumphant progress in the main match and finally winning the championship. Capital team, this is the beginning of his Ye Hao dream, and it is also the starting point of his career. Now, however, his career is over, and all that remains is remembrance.

Thinking about it, Ye Hao's mood also became depressed, and the two people in the room were silent and did not speak, so quietly for a long time. Until Liu Guoliang said to Ye Hao: "Are you interested in playing with the young players in the team, even if you, the senior, teach the juniors?" ”

"I, teach them how to play?" Ye Hao was shocked by Liu Guoliang's sudden suggestion, is this asking me to be a sparring partner? But I haven't touched a racket for a year.

"Do you think you're going to lose? You're a Grand Slam winner, even if you can't play 100% of your right hand, you won't even have that confidence, right? Liu Guoliang used the method of agitation.

Ye Hao is the age of the bloody Fanggang, where can he be stimulated by the other party, although he knows that Liu Guoliang is using the agitation method, he still agrees without hesitation.

"It's not playing with world-class top athletes like Ma Lin and Wang Liqin, although my strength has dropped a lot, but my experience is still there, will I still lose to those young people." Ye Hao secretly thought to himself, but he didn't know that he was not much older.

Subsequently, under the leadership of Liu Guoliang, the two left the office and came to the athletes' training ground. First of all, Liu Guoliang gathered all the players who were training or resting together, and said to them: "Everyone knows today, there is a person who is back here today, he is the former Grand Slam winner, your teammate Ye Hao. Of course, it is also the former brother of our men's table tennis. Right, Ye Hao? ”

Ye Hao didn't expect Liu Guoliang to give him a surprise attack, calling him "First Brother" in front of so many people, so he could only touch his head awkwardly and smile embarrassedly. Everyone on the field is also happy, sweeping away the previous tense atmosphere, I have to say that Liu Guoliang is an excellent head coach, and there are several brushes to adjust the atmosphere of the team.

"Today, taking advantage of Ye Hao's return to the team, I specially invited him to accompany our young players to practice their hands, and teach you how to play and how to win! Why can he Ye Hao win foreign battles and never miss, but this year, everyone in our team has lost and lost! Why can he, Ye Hao, achieve the fastest and youngest Grand Slam winner, but none of you can reach this height now! After speaking, Liu Guoliang looked at Ye Hao and asked, "Does the first brother have anything else to say to everyone?" ”

Ye Hao just listened to Liu Guoliang's words, and there was a wry smile on his face, "Today I can be regarded as getting into the trap under Liu's guidance, he is ** naked killing!" This is a compliment to me, why do I feel that the more I listen to it, the more I feel that it is helping me to pull hatred. ”

"Hahaha", everyone standing opposite laughed, Ma Lin, Wang Liqin smiled, and even Liu Guoliang, who was standing next to Ye Hao, also smiled.

"Then let's get ready, you warm up first." Liu Guoliang said to Ye Hao. Ye Hao stepped aside to press his legs and shake his hands, and after nearly ten minutes, he was finally ready. On the other side, Liu Guoliang also made arrangements, and all the players gathered around a table to watch the game.

"I don't know how much strength Ye Hao still has now? If only I could play and play with him. Wang Liqin's mind was thinking.

"Ye Hao's level should be much worse than before, the impact of the injury on him is estimated to be great, otherwise he would not have retired so early." This is what Wang Hao thinks in his heart. "If there is a chance for me to go up, he is definitely not my opponent now!"

In the end, when Ye Hao stood on one side of the table, an old acquaintance of his appeared on the other side, which was Ma Long mentioned in his conversation with Liu Guoliang before, the fastest and fiercest young player in Chinese men's table tennis this year.

Looking at Ye Hao standing on the opposite table, Ma Long's heart was boiling. "It's not an official competition, but I'm going to give it my all! If I can't even defeat Ye Hao, who has lost a lot of strength, then how can I achieve the more difficult goals of world champions, Olympic champions, and Grand Slams? Obviously, Liu Guoliang's words just now have indeed successfully aroused the fighting spirit in the hearts of many people, including Ma Long.

Before the start of the game, Liu Guoliang opened his mouth to talk about the rules of the game: "Today is not an official game, in order to let as many people as possible play, so that more people have the opportunity to compete with our Grand Slam winners, today we will play an 11-point system of three games and two wins." Now that Malone is the first, you're ready to start. After speaking, he looked at the two people on the field and gestured.

The first game begins.

Ma Long seemed very active when he came up, and frequently took the initiative to attack, but on the other hand, Ye Hao's side was stumbling and more passive.

In the second ball, Ma Long grabbed the ball after serving, quickly pulled the ball with his forehand behind the side, the ball was fast and spinning, and went straight to Ye Hao's backhand. Ye Hao subconsciously wanted to pull a backhand backhand, but after all, there was no training and competition for a year, and the whole person's reaction was a little slower, plus Ma Long's speed was fast enough, the table tennis ball missed from his racket, and Ma Long scored.

The fourth ball, Ye Hao's serve, a short ball with a quality of one board in the downspin table. Seeing this, Ma Long directly started to attack, and after rushing forward to the arc circle, he was unforgivingly rushing the arc ball of two boards in a row, Ye Hao couldn't resist it, and he was defeated after all.

After four balls, Ye Hao only relied on the serve of the third ball to win a point, the score of the two sides was 1:3, and Ye Hao fell behind at the beginning.

2：5，

4：6，

6：8，

8：9，

9：10，

9：11。

Although Ye Hao chased all the way and constantly tried to adjust his game state, the backwardness at the beginning made him lose the lead, and finally lost the first game.

1:0, Malone leads.
