Chapter Eighty-Four: Shooting the Sun
The rules of the World Table Tennis Championships team competition are: each team sends three athletes to play 5 games, and the first side to win 3 games wins. Every match was played in singles, and it was a best-of-five game.
The Chinese men's table tennis team was placed in Group A, along with France, South Korea, Japan, Austria and Italy. Among them, South Korea and Austria are stronger, and the rest is the life of soy sauce. The six teams in Group B are Sweden, Russia, Germany, Belgium, Chinese Taipei and Hong Kong.
The first opponent of the Chinese men's table tennis group stage is the French team. Although the strength of the opponent is very weak, the men's table tennis still sent the strongest lineup, because after all, it is the first game, and the three main forces need to go on the court to adapt to the game.
In this game, the Chinese team is the home team and the French team is the away team. Ye Hao, Ma Lin, and Wang Liqin ranked first, second, and third singles respectively. So the first game was played by the first main player of the Chinese team against the second singles of the French team, that is, Ye Hao against Sheila.
As a veteran, Sheila's strength is not world-class. He has a special nickname, because he is used to shrinking his head when receiving serves, so he is nicknamed "hairy monkey" by Chinese players.
Sheila, who plays in an arc on both sides, has a fierce style of play, but this is not a problem for Ye Hao. The state of entering the game is very fast, which is one of the characteristics of Ye Hao's game. So in the first game of the two-game game, Ye Hao grabbed the first three boards and gained the upper hand.
Although Sheila showed her own good skills, big action shots, and sometimes fast and slow ball speed control, all this could not stop Ye Hao from constantly expanding his lead.
3:1,
7:2,
9:4,
11:5。
The battle in the first game ended quickly.
The difference in strength between the two is too wide, resulting in a very fast process in this game. The second game was 11:6, the third game was 11:5, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Ye Hao won two games in a row and won the first point of the first game of the World Table Tennis Championships for the Chinese team.
Marin, who played later, was a little slow and lost one game first, but then he adjusted his state and won three games in a row, and finally won 3:1 to get the second point for the Chinese team. Wang Liqin, who played the third game, did not leave any thoughts for the French team, and swept the unknown teenager Valin 3:0 to score the third point for the Chinese team.
3:0, the Chinese men's table tennis won the first victory in the group stage.
In the second round, the opponent of the Chinese men's table tennis team was the Japanese men's team. In this regard, Ye Hao is gearing up and ready to do a big job.
At this time, the Japanese men's team did not have the trump card of shooting at all, because they were not as arrogant as their other neighbor South Korea, but chose to clamp their tails and be people. But if the Japanese team is allowed to make even a small breakthrough, they will be able to inflate themselves and not know where to go. For example, Miyu Hirano in the previous life, after achieving a little bit of success, dared to shout to defeat the Chinese team. The result was naturally a "slap, slap, slap" in the face.
In this game, the Chinese team was the away team, so the first to play was Wang Liqin, who was the second singles. His opponent is called You Zeliang, and his strength is average. However, in this game, Wang Liqin couldn't find his form for a long time, and lost two games in the first three games. However, Wang Liqin was the world champion after all, and from the fourth game, he quickly reversed the unfavorable situation on the court and equalized the score 11:5. In the fifth game, he made persistent efforts and won 11:4 and won the first point of the Chinese team.
Although the Japanese team lost the first game, everyone was very excited. This made Ye Hao, who was about to play, a little strange.
"Shouldn't it be a pity and frustration to be overturned in a 2:1 lead?"
Looking at the excited coach of the Japanese team outside the court, and then looking at the opponent Toshio Tazaki who had already played with a happy expression, Ye Hao said that he really couldn't understand what the other party was thinking.
In fact, the reason why everyone in the Japanese team is happy is simply that Ryo Yuzawa had a chance to win the game in the last game. Although You Zeliang still lost in the end, he himself felt that he had earned it, because he didn't think about winning before he played, and he was able to win two games, which made him very satisfied.
The reason why the coach of the Japanese team was excited was that he almost won the first game, and maybe the second game would not be bad. If Japan can get a point in the whole game, he will be satisfied. However, the Japanese coach's dream of Huangliang was rudely shattered by Ye Hao in the second game.
Toshio Tazaki, who was on the field, looked at Ye Hao opposite, thinking that You Zeliang could win two games in the last game, and his strength was stronger than the other party, so he might have a chance to win.
However, how could Ye Hao, who had been preparing to do a lot of work for a long time, give his opponent a chance, and as soon as he came up, he was bored and knocked out Toshio Tazaki.
1:0,
2:0,
3:0,
4:0,
5:0,
Of course, it was Ye Hao who had been scoring, and Toshio Tazaki looked at the scoreboard on the side, feeling confused, "How is this completely opposite to what I thought?" The script shouldn't be played like this......"
Ye Hao doesn't care how the other party acts, his plan is to win big and win, and not save face for Little Japan.
"After all, I am a person with patriotic feelings." Ye Hao reveled in his fantasies.
5:1, just when Ye Hao was thinking nonsense, Toshio Tazaki finally opened.
"Hahaha, I knew I could do it! Let's see me firing on fire. Toshio Tazaki, who had just won a point, immediately became complacent and had a chance to win.
However, Ye Hao, who came back to his senses, immediately returned the color, 6:1, 7:2, until 11:3 to win the first game.
"Bang", Toshio Tazaki seemed to hear the sound of hopes and dreams bursting.
Toshio Tazaki, who lost confidence, performed even more unsightly. The second game is 3:11, the third game is 2:11, less than 10 minutes, the two games are over, and the whole game takes no more than 20 minutes.
Ye Hao scored the second point for the Chinese team, and after winning the game, he made a celebration on the field with a bow and arrow.
The third match was played by Marin against Zhou Arai of Japan. It was also a quick win, with Marin beating his opponent 3-0 to score the third point for China.
3:0, the Chinese team swept the Japanese team and won the second victory in the group stage.
After the game, on the way back to the station after the Chinese team left the Al Arabi Gymnasium, Ma Lin suddenly asked Ye Hao: "What do you mean by doing that archery action after the game?" ”
"Guess?" Ye Hao pretended to be mysterious.
Without waiting for Ma Lin to speak, Wang Hao on the side couldn't wait to speak, "Is it the meaning of hitting the bull's-eye?" ”
Everyone looked at Ye Hao.
“No,no。 What I want to express is the success of shooting the sun! ”
