Chapter 67: Not a Catfish

At half past seven in the evening, the men's singles final began. Ye Hao looked at Wang Hao, who was standing on the opposite table, a little speechless. The other party was stimulated by the speeches of Cai Ping Pong and Liu Guoliang at the press conference yesterday, except for the oath in front of Ye Hao in the morning, at this time, he was even more fierce and desperate.

Momentum determines the style, although Wang Hao, who usually looks quiet and peaceful, but under the stimulation of reality and dreams, he changed the shortcomings of not being domineering enough in the past, and showed an aggressive momentum as soon as the game came up. Attack, attack, or attack, Wang Hao was full of firepower and beat Ye Hao very embarrassed.

In the first game, Ye Hao was forced to defend passively by Wang Hao's onslaught. 2:3, 7:9, and in the end, Ye Hao still lost the first game 8:11.

In the second game below, Wang Hao's offensive continued to improve, and his advantageous backhand straight shot continued to play well in this game, and it also drove his forehand attack, which can be described as a full flower, and Ye Hao retreated. 4:2, 7:4, 11:7, Wang Hao's second game won more easily.

At this time, Cai Ping Pong and Liu Guoliang, who were watching the game from the sidelines, were whispering.

"Guoliang, it seems that what we said yesterday has stimulated the hearts of many people. Look at Wang Hao's performance today, it is very eye-catching. "Cai Pingpong's interest is very high.

Liu Guoliang sat on the sidelines, not only relieved that he had successfully mobilized the enthusiasm of the players, but also regretted Ye Hao's backwardness.

However, Ye Hao on the field didn't know these situations, and now what he was thinking about was, "Do you really treat me as a catfish?" Or are you using me like a whetstone? Ye Hao, who gradually calmed down, calmed down, the game was still going on, and the most important thing now was to win the game.

In the third game, Ye Hao changed the tactics of the first two games, no longer confronting Wang Hao, but chose to temporarily avoid his edge, and used the stage to shorten, pick and fight to entangle with the opponent. After Ye Hao changed his strategy, the situation on the court was no longer one-sided, 2:2, 4:4, 7:7, and the two played all the way to a 9-9 draw.

On the next ball, Ye Hao served first, which was a backhand serve with strong downspin. Wang Hao didn't dare to attack rashly in the face of this ball, so he could only choose to rub back. However, because Ye Hao's serve downspin was too strong, Wang Hao did not go to the net in order to rub the ball, and the height of the return ball was not grasped well, and the height of the table tennis ball bounced slightly over the net. Seeing this, Ye Hao was not conservative, but used Marin's sideways forehand to pick violently. Crazy fighting, the ball went straight to Wang Hao's forehand direction!

Wang Hao was not mentally prepared at all, he didn't expect Ye Hao to change his previous delaying tactics at such a critical score and take the initiative to attack. Wang Hao subconsciously blocked with his racket, but he was a step slower, and the table tennis ball had already flown over and landed on the field first.

At 10:9, Ye Hao took the lead and got the game point in the third game.

Next is Ye Hao's serve, Wang Hao on the opposite side is waiting for him, the last ball is because the ball is too high, and he was seized to score, and he didn't dare to despise this goal. However, Ye Hao's choice once again exceeded Wang Hao's imagination, the long ball turned out to be a sneak attack long ball, and it was a long ball in the forehand position! If Wang Hao is well prepared, he may seize this opportunity and take the initiative to attack and take advantage. And now, it is Ye Hao who has the advantage. Wang Hao was a little overwhelmed in the face of this sudden long ball because of the loss of the previous goal, and hurriedly pulled the ball back with a forehand. Ye Hao once again seized the loophole that the opponent's return quality was not high and the landing point was biased, and attacked with a forehand, forcing Wang Hao's backhand again. In the face of Ye Hao's return ball, Wang Hao no longer had the luck of the last shot, and pulled directly into the net.

At 11:9, Ye Hao relied on his bold attack on the key score and pulled back a game with difficulty, and the total score became 1:2.

Ye Hao, who was off the break, secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "I finally suppressed the opponent's momentum, and I have to continue to chase the score!" ”

Wang Hao did not seem to be affected by the loss in the previous game, and played very actively at the beginning of the fourth game. Ye Hao continued to adhere to the strategy of the previous game, not attacking the opponent, or relying on the first three boards and the table ball to entangle with it. The situation became the same as in the previous game, and the scores of the two increased alternately, 3:2, 5:6, until Ye Hao led Wang Hao 9:8.

It was a key score again, but this time the serve was changed from Ye Hao to Wang Hao. Downspin, short ball, backhand, Wang Hao's intention is very obvious, take the opportunity to find an opportunity to attack, equalize, overtake the score, until the game is won. Because the opponent's serve was indeed very threatening, Ye Hao had to deal with it cautiously and did not dare to directly receive the serve and attack. Gradually, the situation developed in the direction that Wang Hao wanted, and the two began to fight against each other.

I have to say that Wang Hao's state today is really bursting, not to mention that he suppressed Ye Hao with his backhand, and he did not show weakness in the confrontation of his forehand. Ye Hao was suppressed step by step to a corner of the table, and the next ball, Wang Hao hit it horizontally, and the ball was changed to Ye Hao's forehand, and the ball was played very open, and the angle was not small. Ye Hao, who was forced to the backhand position, could only fly and jump, taking a big step to his left side, and finally caught up with the table tennis ball. However, at this time, the height of the ball is only less than half a meter from the ground, and I am afraid that I can only watch it hit the ground a moment later.

Faced with this ball with a high difficulty factor, Ye Hao's forearm and waist and abdomen exerted force at the same time, desperately adding enough upward friction to the ball. Then under the exclamation of the audience, the table tennis ball flew over most of the table from the side of the table along a strange arc, fell to the table in front of Wang Hao, and then bounced high. Although Wang Hao was accidentally saved by Ye Hao, he continued to attack with his forehand and still occupied the initiative on the court.

The two continued to pull against each other, and Ye Hao was still defending without leaking, waiting for the time to be ripe and kill with one blow. The number of boards in this ball is constantly rising, and before they know it, the two have played as many as 30 boards. Wang Hao was another backhand far from the platform, Ye Hao did not pull the ball back at this time, but chose to cut the ball short. Although the quality of the ball was not too high, it came to the stage, and it played the effect that Ye Hao wanted to achieve - interrupting Wang Hao's offensive rhythm.

Sure enough, on the next board, Wang Hao did not attack again, but chose to pull a board lightly, because the ball did not come out, he still chose to be cautious. However, what Ye Hao was waiting for was this opportunity, facing the incoming ball, the forehand was sideways and rushed! If you don't go on stage, it's enough, and if you do, you can't prevent it.

At 10:8, Ye Hao scored this point, and the two of them played a full 34 boards, which can be described as full of anger, singing and crying, the audience applauded thunderously and screamed, and the atmosphere reached the highest point since the start of the game.

In the case of having the upper hand, he failed to win this point in the end, which hit Wang Hao very hard, and he did not resist the next ball, and easily sent the score to Ye Hao, and ended the fourth game hastily.

The total score was tied at 2-2, Ye Hao let out a sigh and relieved a little pressure, after all, falling behind in two games was also an extremely dangerous situation for him.
