On September 13, 2006, the China Table Tennis Open was held in Guangzhou, and it is also called the China Table Tennis Grand Prix.

The next day, the first round of the men's singles began, and Ye Hao's first-round opponent was Kim Song Nam from North Korea. Kim Song Nam, a young player of the North Korean team, holds a racket horizontally in his right hand.

After the start of the game, Ye Hao took the lead in entering the state, and when he came up, he hit the opponent with an unstable foothold, and the exaggerated lead of 9:0 made Jin Songnan's face on the opposite side ugly. At 11:2, Ye Hao finally left some face for our country's "goodwill, friends and neighbors" and did not shave his head.

In the second game, Kim Song Nam fought with all his might at the beginning, almost patting and attacking, playing very actively and more unreasonably, and once led 3:2. However, Ye Hao is a well-informed "old-timer" after all, so he immediately adjusted his state, took advantage of the opponent's impatience, and wanted to urgently equalize the score, scored 6 points 8:3 in a row, and suddenly overtook the score, and it was a big lead.

At 11:5, in the end, Ye Hao won easily again. Looking at the other party's pitiful appearance, Ye Hao couldn't help but feel some sympathy.

"Young man, it's normal for you to lose to me, don't worry about being degraded to dig coal when you go back." Ye Hao could only say to Jin Songnan in his heart and with his eyes, although the other party couldn't hear it.

The third and fourth games were the same as the first two games, and even Jin Songnan's performance was even worse, eating Ye Hao's serve in a row didn't require Ye Hao to exert his strength, and it was easier to win. Two consecutive 11:3, the game is over.

A total of six Chinese men's table tennis players participated in the men's singles competition, in addition to Ye Hao, there are Ma Lin, Wang Liqin, Chen Qi, Ma Long and Hou Yingchao. In the first round of the competition, all six people successfully passed the test and advanced to the top 32.

In the second round, Ye Hao's opponent was Austria's Gados, and his strength was still not too strong. However, Ye Hao was met with stubborn resistance from the other party, saying that it was resistance, but in fact, it did not have much effect.

In the first two games, Ye Hao won very smoothly, 11:6, 11:5, and easily won the game. However, after two games in a row, Ye Hao himself was a little light, and Gados began to strengthen his fighting, so the situation took a sharp turn for the worse in the third game. At 7:11, Ye Hao lost a game, and the total score became 2:1.

In the crucial fourth game, Ye Hao suddenly woke up, and the appearance of frequent mistakes in the third game was like two people. At 11:3, Ye Hao was like a bamboo, and he won it in one fell swoop. In the fifth game, there was no suspense, Ye Hao was superior after all, if he hadn't taken a nap in the third game, he would probably have swept away the opponent.

In the end, the score of the fifth game was 11:4, Ye Hao won the game, and the total score of 4:1 advanced to the third round. In addition, the remaining five members of the Chinese team also qualified.

After two rounds of easy competition, Ye Hao finally ushered in a challenging opponent - Ma Long. Among the top 16 men's singles, six of them are athletes from the Chinese team, which can be described as a strong lineup, and it is difficult for Ye Hao not to meet his teammates.

Malone has been emerging since last year, and now he can be regarded as firmly established in the national team. Compared with his teammates at the same time, Malone became famous at a young age. After all, Zhang Jike, another superstar in the "Kelong" era, has just come back after being sent out of the national team in 04, a typical late-forming player.

Of course, if you compare Malone with Ye Hao, it really can't be compared, after all, Ye Hao's achievements are a bit too scary, and no one dares to say that he is "younger" than him.

After the game between the two started, it was obvious that Ma Long was working hard and wanted to defeat Ye Hao. At the beginning of the first game, Malone actually began to fight recklessly.

The third ball, Ye Hao served, and the short ball was spinned in the table, and the quality was good. But what about Malone? His choice is to attack! And it's a rush! This hob meat style of playing is either you die or I live, and it really allowed Ma Long to take the lead in the first game.

At 9:7, Malone led by two points, and the next two balls were his serve, as long as he could win these two balls, he could win the first game.

Ma Long served, sent to Ye Hao's middle position, and topspin the long ball, which was in line with his risky strategy in this game. After Ye Hao experienced most of the game, he gradually adapted to the rhythm of the other party, preventing Ma Long from sneaking up on the long ball and waiting for the opportunity to attack.

So for Ma Long's topspin ball, Ye Hao was prepared, and immediately pulled a violent arc ball sideways with his forehand and went straight to Ma Long's backhand. This attack without a little mud and water made Ma Long dumbfounded, he didn't react at all, and watched the ping-pong ball fly past his side blankly.

At 8:9, Ye Hao pulled back a point.

Ma Long then continued to serve, or topspin the long ball, which can only be said that he is "a thief who does not die", or that he has eaten too much sweetness in this game, and he was a little carried away for a while. Ye Hao didn't care what his opponent thought, he continued to attack strongly, just like Ma Long at the beginning.

This time, Ma Long did not surrender directly, and after resisting Ye Hao's attack for three rounds, he opened the city gate and declared defeat.

At 9:9, the score was equalized, and the initiative suddenly returned to Ye Hao's hands, and the following two serves were in his hands.

For the first ball, Ye Hao looked at Ma Long on the opposite side in a state of nervousness and eagerness, knowing that he still wanted to attack, so he had no impulse and risk, and sent a short ball in the table safely.

Sure enough, after seeing that there was no good chance for this ball, Malone fell into hesitation, not knowing whether to take the risk of attacking again or receive the ball steadily. In a game, time is an important factor in determining whether you win or lose, and there is no room for distraction and distraction.

Ma Long's hesitation lost the best opportunity to receive the serve, although in the end he still rushed to pull the ball across the net before the table tennis ball fell, but he did not control the landing point of the return ball.

After Ye Hao saw that Ma Long's ball was off the mark, he knew that his opportunity had come! He slammed sideways and swung his left hand out without hesitation, hitting the ping-pong ball hard into Ma Long's middle chasing position.

Ma Long had just made a sideways movement, and before he could swing his racket, the ball had already smashed into him. "It hurts! The power of this ball is huge! Ma Long personally felt the power of Ye Hao's ball.

At 10:9, Ye Hao overtook the score and even got the game point in the first game.

On the last ball, Ye Hao served, and this time he chose to send a quick topspin long ball in the direction of Ma Long's backhand! Sneak attack!

Ye Hao suddenly stole a billiards at the game point, which surprised Ma Long. He himself tried to sneak attack Ye Hao many times without success, but he didn't expect the other party to return a goal to himself in this critical score!

At 11:9, Ye Hao's serve sneak attack was successful, and the first game was won!
