Chapter 134: The Future Is Yours
In the first game with Ma Long, Ye Hao took the lead, scored four points in a row in the final stage, and won the reversal, which greatly hit Ma Long's morale and made him not relax in the second game.
The start of falling behind 0:5 made Ma Long fall behind for the whole game, even if in the following games, he re-stabilized his mind, but Ye Hao is not a person who is easy to make mistakes, and he did not give him a chance to turn the tables. In the end, at 5:11, Malone still lost the second game.
After the start of the third game, Malone learned the lessons of the previous game, launched an attack at the beginning, and made a comeback just like the first game!
The first ball is Ma Long's serve, and the arc ball facing Ye Hao after he serves is a violent rush, the angle is very awkward, and he goes straight to Ye Hao's middle, and the landing point is backward, without giving Ye Hao much time to react. The result was that Ye Hao's racket and the table tennis ball passed by, 1:0.
On the third ball, Ye Hao began to serve, and he followed the old method and aimed at Ma Long's left backhand direction. However, Ma Long seemed to know that he was already fighting against the water, and his backhand was not soft, he directly and quickly whipped, and the table tennis ball crossed a phantom and rushed to the opposite table!
3:0, Ma Long's backhand also scored!
The fourth ball, Ye Hao served, or attacked Ma Long's backhand direction, he just didn't believe in evil! However, to everyone's surprise, Malone did not use his forehand sideways to catch the ball, but continued to choose to use a backhand, this time he was more domineering and scored with a backhand!
4:0, Ma Long seemed to be copying Ye Hao's model of winning the second game, and staged a one-sided plot in the first few goals.
Qin Zhijian, who was fighting on the sidelines, Ma Long's head coach, saw the performance of his disciples on the field, and he was both a little surprised and a little excited. After all, these two consecutive backhand direct points are really beautiful! Ma Long's backhand play seemed to suddenly explode in the third game, and it was raised by more than one notch!
In the later game of the third game, Ye Hao has not found a way to limit Ma Long, on the contrary, Ma Long has more confidence in playing, and the forehand and backhand are blooming on both sides, how to play! At 11:4, Malone easily pulled back a game. The total score became 2:1, and Ye Hao was still ahead.
Ye Hao, who lost by a big score, had to calm down, he looked at Ma Long, who was surging at this time, and finally realized that the other party was not a weak person who could be bullied casually, and he really deserved to be a person with the potential to achieve a grand slam!
"Even if I change my destiny and achieve a Grand Slam after being reborn, it doesn't mean that I can always be at the top of the world table tennis world!"
"Ma Lin, Wang Liqin, Wang Hao, Ma Long, Zhang Jike, and even Liu Chengmin, Pol and many other table tennis masters, they will not stand still, and they will not watch me reach the top again!"
Ye Hao's heart suddenly had a lot of realizations at this moment, in the last game against Austrian player Gados, he had underestimated the enemy, because the opponent's strength was too weak, he only paid the price of one game, and finally won the game.
However, now he is facing Ma Long, if he continues to underestimate the enemy, then it is not impossible to lose one game or two, and even lose the whole game!
The pause quickly passed, and the players from both sides of the game returned to the court. At this time, Ye Hao's eyes were clear, he was no longer as impatient as he was behind in the previous game, and he did not continue to underestimate the enemy because of the lead in the score.
"I'm going to get serious! Ma Long, now your strength is not enough! Ye Hao, who calmed down, was full of confidence in himself, and began to speak cruelly in his heart again.
At the beginning of the fourth game, Ma Long's hand was still hot, but Ye Hao was no longer like the previous game, and the game fell into a stalemate.
0:0,
2:2,
7:6,
9:8,
11:11,
The competition between the two sides has not stopped, and the fourth game has entered a white-hot stage. Next, it was Ye Hao's turn to serve, and he served a counter-spin serve steadily. Malone carefully pulled the ball back. The two began to hold each other again and again.
Attacking and holding each other, what we fight for is patience, what we fight for is stability, and what we fight for is who can not make mistakes. However, if you blindly seek stability, only want to delay time and the number of shots, and do not dare to take any risks, then the initiative will not come to you for no reason.
This is a test of the athlete's courage and will, and only the side with the big heart can win! Therefore, Ye Hao chose to take the lead in changing, and after 5 consecutive rounds of forehand pulling, he did not continue to turn sideways, but stood still, sank into the dantian, and decisively changed his backhand and changed to a straight line!
The ping-pong ball flew to the left side of Ma Long, but at this time, his right leg had just stepped back, and the sideways posture had been made, and there was no chance and time to change posture to defend the incoming ball in the direction of the backhand.
At 12:11, Ye Hao got the game point in the fourth game.
Ma Long looked at the table tennis ball in his hand, and then looked at Ye Hao opposite, and the pressure in his heart doubled. He knows that if he loses this ball again, then he will really lose the fourth game, and the total score is 1:3 behind, and it will be even more difficult to chase it back to complete the reversal!
"Whether you win or lose, it's up to this ball!" Qin Zhijian, the coach on the sidelines, also had his own judgment in his heart, although he was eager to help Ma Long call a timeout at this time and arrange tactics for him, but because it was the civil war of the Chinese team, according to the rules, athletes on both sides could not accept the coach's guidance, and could only rely on themselves!
Ma Long served, Ye Hao received the serve and first swung his forehand short and sent the ball to the opponent's right area. Seeing this, Ma Long quickly pulled a board with his forehand, wanting to win with speed. However, Ye Hao didn't give him a chance, the racket waited in the middle early, and after the table tennis ball fell on the table, the ball went to the left side of Ma Long with a change of line.
In this way, under the mobilization of Ye Hao, Ma Long defended left and right, and was busy all the way, after all, it was better to block than to be sparse, and there was a mistake in receiving the ball! At 13:11, Ye Hao was even more bold in the last ball, took control of the situation, and won the last point. At this point, Ye Hao has a 3:1 lead in the total score.
The fifth game was not as fierce as the fourth game, but became calm, Ye Hao won the last game of the game 11:6 smoothly, defeated Ma Long 4:1, and advanced to the quarterfinals.
Looking at Ma Long, who was a little lost, Ye Hao wanted to say to him, "The future is yours!" However, in order to avoid being beaten, Ye Hao still hid this sentence deep in his heart and did not say it.
In the rest of the games in the third round, except for Wang Liqin's upset to Hong Kong's Li Jing, there were no accidents, and the Chinese team still had half of the seats in the quarterfinals.
