On October 18, 2001, Ye Hao came to the capital for more than a month.

Ye's father and Ye's mother, after sending him to the capital, only stayed for one day, and then left immediately.

is alone in a different place, but fortunately, Ye Hao is not an 11-year-old kid on the surface, he has an adult soul and memory. So I quickly got used to it.

In the capital team, Ye Hao saw a mini version of Ma Long, and also saw another future Grand Slam Ding Ling, and now they are all teammates.

There are many teenagers of their age, as well as other players of all ages, and the capital team, which shows that its talent pool is very strong.

Today is a bit of a special day, and all the team members are full of anticipation, especially for the teenagers who have just arrived. For example, Ye Hao, such as Ma Long, such as Ding Ling.

Because there is a world champion who came out of the capital team to come back today, she is Zhang Yiling, who won the women's singles championship of the Table Tennis World Cup for the first time this year.

The players and coaches of the capital team are looking forward to Zhang Yiling's arrival. She has become the pride and representative of the Capital team.

All the team members waited in a neat line in the table tennis hall, and Ye Hao stood at the back of the crowd and stretched his neck to look ahead.

I saw a young girl with a long figure and short ear-length hair, slowly walking to the front of the team under the guidance of Yao Bin, the leader of the capital team.

The older players were okay, just talking in a whisper, and the younger ones were already shouting excitedly, Ding Ling of the women's team jumped up and down happily, and even Ma Long, who had always been calm, blushed.

Ye Hao was looking carefully, and he found that the original future Great Demon King was already expressionless and calm now.

Under the reprimand of the coaches, the noisy gymnasium finally fell silent.

Team leader Yao Bin took the microphone and began to speak: "Zhang Yiling has just won her first singles world championship, and today is to return to the parent team, and everyone welcomes her with warm applause!" ”

Next, Zhang Yiling briefly shared her experience in playing ball, playing games and some training methods, and everyone listened carefully.

In the end, the coach announced that he would select a few people to come on stage and learn from Zhang Yiling. This ignited the enthusiasm of all the players in the audience, and everyone was nervously looking forward to it.

Due to the large number of people, Zhang Yiling could not compete with many people, so it was finally decided that she would choose 3 people and go on stage to play an 11-point game.

Team leader Yao Bin said a few words to Zhang Yiling on the side, and pointed to the team with his hand and gave her a little advice.

11-year-old Ding Ling was the first to be selected, and now she is already the key training object of the women's team, so it is not surprising that she was selected.

Perhaps because she was too excited, Ding Ling didn't show her strength at all, 2:11, and was quickly defeated. When she saw her performance, she was so angry that she cried, and after the coach comforted her a few words, she returned to the team with tears in her eyes.

Ye Hao understood when he saw this, it turned out that crying when she lost was Ding Ling's hobby and characteristic since she was a child, no wonder she also cried after losing the women's singles final at the London Olympics in 12.

Zhang Yiling then picked another 15-year-old girl, and soon won 11:3. It can be seen that even if it is an ordinary discussion, she is serious and does not have the habit of releasing water.

It's no wonder that she, who later became the big devil, beat Ai Fukuhara to a temperless point on the court and cried bitterly.

There was only the last place left, and everyone stared at Zhang Yiling with eager eyes, hoping that it was themselves who were chosen.

Ye Hao was recalling the glorious deeds of the Great Demon King who was angry and crying Xiao Ai, and was suddenly pushed by Ma Long next to him. It turned out that he was actually picked, and he was really unintentionally inserted into the willows.

Slowly walked to the side of the table, along the way, Ye Hao felt a cool breeze around him, and it turned out that most people were staring at him with envy, jealousy and hatred, especially male compatriots. Who made him the only boy chosen?

Looking at Zhang Yiling, who was close at hand, Ye Hao felt that she was actually quite eye-catching, with a bit of a cold and glamorous temperament.

Compared with the later national players, the appearance of the Chinese table tennis women's team is still good, with Zhang Yiling and Wang Lan, maybe the appearance has been advanced in advance.

Ye Hao serves. Now he has made it clear that he uses the cross-plate two-sided anti-glue play, which is also the most common choice, and the same is true for Ma Long, Zhang Jike and others.

In the first ball, Ye Hao chose a forehand downspin short ball, and in the face of the world champion, he did not dare to be careless.

Zhang Yiling chose to rub a forehand backhand to downspin the ball, and the quality of her return is quite high, which is worthy of being world-class.

Ye Hao found that there was still a big gap between his serve spin and it. In the face of this ball, he can only choose to rub it back. Because if he wants to take the risk of attacking, then nine times out of ten, the end is to return the ball and fall into the net.

But he was so cautious, his return ball was still caught by Zhang Yiling, and the backhand arced quickly, Ye Hao only came and barely used his forehand to block, and the next board smash had already struck again.

Ye Hao finally understood the reason why one of the two in front of him scored 2 points and the other scored 3 points. The strength of the World Champion is indeed not something he can match now, even if the opponent is a female athlete.

After losing 3 goals in a row, Ye Hao finally relied on the return serve to attack, and after pulling 6 backs and turns with him in a row, he relied on the tricky landing point to win the first point with great effort.

The onlookers and coaches at the table also applauded and cheered for this beautiful point.

Next, it was Ye Hao's turn to serve again, and the backhand sideways spin the ball, the ball landed in the middle of the table, and Zhang Yiling chose a backhand arc to make a board.

Ye Hao unceremoniously pulled her backhand, but he deliberately slowed down, focusing on the control of power and landing point. He knew that men were indeed inferior to women in terms of speed and frequency.

Sure enough, Ye Hao's method worked, and he scored another point.

Next, the two fought back and forth, and it was difficult to separate. In the end, Zhang Yiling was superior and won the game 11:8.

Originally, after the discussion, Ye Hao should have returned to the team like the previous two.

However, he walked to the other side of the table and walked towards Zhang Yiling. Before walking to her side, Ye Hao stretched out his hand and looked at her.

Zhang Yiling's eyes were still as calm as water, but she slowly stretched out her hand and shook it with Ye Hao's hand.

"Your ball is not bad, and it will be okay for the national team to work hard for two years." Suddenly, she spoke.

was feeling the other party's cool palm, but when he heard such a sentence, Ye Hao felt a little surprised.

While letting go of Zhang Yiling's hand, he said in an affirmative tone, "I believe that soon we will become teammates." ”

"I believe it!" Zhang Yiling replied.

"You'll beat Wang Lan soon, I'm sure."

There was no answer, but Zhang Yiling's determined eyes showed everything.

In fact, it is true that in the women's singles final of the Busan Asian Games next year, Zhang Yiling defeated Wang Lan and crossed the most important "hurdle" in her career.

Since then, she has been on the path of the Great Demon King, and she will never return.
