The coaches and players of the Suzhou Provincial Table Tennis Team were having a pre-match combat meeting, and one of them, Ye Hao, also knew that it was Coach Zhang Bing, who had come to his home to recruit him. As a result, he was unfortunately successfully intervened by the capital team and abducted Ye Hao.

"I know this child named Ye Hao, I also went to his house last year and wanted to bring him to our provincial team, but unfortunately he was preempted by the capital team. Unexpectedly, in just one and a half years, he has grown so fast, not only selected for the national second team, but also entered the top 8 in this national championship. Chen Qi, he is your opponent in the next round, and you must be ready to fight tough battles. It was Coach Zhang Bing who spoke, and it could be seen that he attached great importance to Ye Hao.

However, Chen Qi, who was mentioned, seemed to disagree. Chen Qi, a native of Nantong, Jiangsu Province, entered the national team around 2000, but because of a mistake, he was returned to the provincial team until now. Chen Qi is a person with a lot of personality, and his domineering and even domineering personality makes the coach half happy and half worried. The reason why he was kicked out of the national team at the beginning, and it was twice in a row, was because he lost the game and smashed the racket, and secondly, because he didn't go home at night to go out to play.

Seeing that Chen Qi didn't listen to his words, Coach Zhang Bing sighed slightly in his heart, he didn't say anything more, let's leave it until the game.

The game began, Ye Hao looked at Chen Qi on the opposite table, and had already thought of his own tactics, grasping the first three boards, and not entangled with the opponent. Because Chen Qi has a domineering nickname called "God of Killing", you can guess his style of play by listening to it, he is extremely fierce and loves to fight. With this style of play, winning the ball is very straightforward, but the shortcomings are also obvious, unstable and need to feel. As long as Chen Qi can be suppressed to the death, not let him get up, and don't give him a chance to go crazy, then Ye Hao will be much easier to win this game.

1:0, 4:2, 7:4, 9:5, until the final 11:6, in the first game, Ye Hao relied on the established tactical play to successfully limit Chen Qi and win a good start.

At the beginning of the second game, Chen Qi continued his style, fought hard, and used the advantage of his left hand to try to make a difference. It's a pity that he met Ye Hao, and the experience of being killed is quite rich, and he is not afraid at all. At 8:11, Chen Qi still lost the second game, although the score was better than the first game, but the situation on the court did not change, and it was not his opponent who took the initiative.

At this time, Chen Qi remembered Coach Zhang Bing's reminder before the game, and realized that he underestimated his opponent, but his character was very stubborn and did not give up. During the break between the games, I listened carefully to the coach's advice, and no longer blindly sought ruthlessness, but relaxed when it should be loose, tight when it should be tight, and relaxed to a certain extent.

Sure enough, Chen Qi, whose mentality and tactics have been readjusted, has good combat power, which has brought Ye Hao a lot of trouble. In the third game, the two played inextricably, and from the first point to the last point, there were seven ties. In the end, Ye Hao relied on the backhand board to receive the serve and attack, vigorously twisted and pulled, the quality was very high, and he took the lead, and then cooperated with the forehand sideways attack to win the last point and won 13:11.

The total score came to 3:0, but Chen Qi did not give up easily. In the fourth game, he continued the good form of the previous game, 11:8, and stubbornly pulled back a game.

In the fifth game, Ye Hao no longer gave his opponent a chance, grasped every point and ball very tightly, and relied on his accurate grasp of the game, 11:9 and the next city, and won the final victory.

At the end of the game, the two shook hands with each other, and Chen Qi said to Ye Hao, "I'm convinced that I lost today, let's fight again next time, little fellow!" ”

Ye Hao agreed with a smile, and the other party's straightforward temper made him quite impressed. "You won't be able to beat me next time, fellow."

Although he did not join the table tennis team of Suzhou Province, Ye Hao was full of respect for his parent team and Coach Zhang Bing, who once wanted to discover himself. After the game, he also found Coach Zhang Bing, and the two communicated.

Coach Zhang Bing had just finished chatting with Ye Hao and returned to the room, still very relieved. Although Ye Hao was not trained by the Su Provincial Team, after all, he came out of Su Province, and he was happy to see his development and progress. But the next news made him cry and laugh.

Soon after, several other coaches from Sioux Province came to his room to discuss the next round. In the men's singles, Qin Zhijian of the Su Provincial Team (later the head coach of the national table tennis men's team) advanced to the semifinals.

Coach Zhang Bing was very satisfied with Qin Zhijian's performance and was also very concerned, "Has his opponent in the next round come out?" Let's analyze and discuss tactics. ”

"Ye Hao!" One of the coaches spoke up.

"Ye Hao doesn't need to pay attention anymore, his game with Chen Qi is over." Zhang Bing waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"Director Zhang, Qin Zhijian's semi-final opponent is still Ye Hao!" Someone else explained to Zhang Bing.

Hearing this, Zhang Bing couldn't help but smile bitterly, "This kid is our bitter master." ”

"But Qin Zhijian is a veteran national team player after all, although he is not the absolute main force, but he has rich experience, and the winning rate of this game is still very high." Another coach analyzed.

"I'm afraid that Qin Zhijian won't be able to withstand the impact of this young general." Another coach was worried.

……

Ye Hao observed Qin Zhijian opposite, his hair had not yet turned white, and he looked a little less vicissitudes and more energetic. Qin Zhijian, who became famous at a young age, had a bumpy road, from a supernova of the same era as Liu Guoliang to a sparring partner, and finally to the world mixed doubles championship in 01, these two years were the peak of his career.

The two played unhurriedly in the first game, holding each other a lot, Ye Hao found that Qin Zhijian was very similar to a person's style of play, and this person was Xu Xin. Both are left-handed, straight-handed, love to step back, and are good at holding the ball. "No wonder they were able to become masters and apprentices later." Ye Hao thought so.

Now that he knew the characteristics of the opponent's playing style, Ye Hao began to attack in a targeted manner. He pays attention to the quality of the first three boards, tries to avoid retreating from the stage and Qin Zhijian, and uses more near-stage attacks.

At 11:8, Ye Haoshun won the first game smoothly.

The Su Provincial team on the sidelines was gloomy at this time, although Qin Zhijian only lost the first game, but everyone was not optimistic about being able to turn the tables.

Things were as expected by the coaches of the Su Provincial Team, and the balance of victory slowly tilted towards Ye Hao. 11:7, 11:8, the scores of the second and third games are no different from the first game.

"Alas, both of our team are planted in his hands!" One coach couldn't help but sigh.

"Who said it wasn't, the key is that this kid is still from our Su Province, the flood washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family doesn't recognize the family!" Another man spoke.

Under the depressed sigh of the opposing coach, Ye Haobing defeated Qin Zhijian with a total score of 4:0 without bloodshed and entered the finals.

After the game, Ye Hao returned to the capital team and was puzzled when he saw Coach Lu looking at him with strange eyes.

"What do you mean by that? It's not like it's going to be celebrated. ”

"I suddenly found out that you kid is quite a trick."

"What?"

"I just eliminated two teammates in a row, and now I have two of my fellow countrymen in a row to advance to the finals. You say you're not a god pit! ”

I'll strangle it, Ye Hao spurted out a mouthful of old blood......
