Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Sino-German War is menacing

Four days have passed since the World Table Tennis Championships, the group stage has all ended, and the places in the top four have been produced. The top two in Group A are the Chinese men's team and the South Korean men's team. The first place in Group B went to the German men's team, and the second place went to the Swedish men's team. So the semi-finals are: China vs. Germany, South Korea vs. Sweden. However, according to the new format, the Page system, the loser of the Sino-German battle has one more chance to play one more game, and can continue to play another match against the winner of the two teams of South Korea and Sweden to determine another final spot.

The world's fifth-ranked German team was able to beat the world's second-ranked Chinese Taipei team and the fourth-ranked Sweden team to win the group top spot in the group stage of this World Table Tennis Championships, relying entirely on the excellent performance of Bol, Fejkkenas and Wojcik. The trio made 14 appearances in the group stage and won 13 times, with only Bol losing 3-1 against Chinese Taipei's Chiang Peng Lung.

Bohr, the former world No. 1 leader of the younger generation of Germany, is undoubtedly the main commander of the German tank. The world champion, who was silent for a year after being beaten by Ye Hao, who was just an unknown teenager at the time at the World Table Tennis Championships in Paris last year, led the German team to the semifinals after holding his breath this time, and aimed his revenge on the Chinese men's team.

"We must knock down China!" These were the harsh words he unleashed before the Sino-German confrontation.

With his encouragement, Wojwick and Fejkonas were also full of energy, "We want to have a good fight with China!" ”

There was such a brave play and the tenacious fighting spirit of the Germans in the competition, and the Japanese women's team unexpectedly scored two points on the Chinese women's team yesterday, so that the Chinese men's team did not dare to take it lightly, and had to put the German team in the position of a strong opponent and was ready to fight a vicious battle.

Moreover, at the beginning of the team competition of this World Table Tennis Championships, the German men's team also shouted the slogan of winning the championship, so they can be described as unkind and menacing!

Yes, the Chinese team sent the strongest lineup "Trident", and the three of them are ranked in the top four in the world, of which Marin ranks first in the world, Ye Hao follows, and Wang Liqin ranks fourth. The only one left in the top four is Germany's Bohr, who is ranked third in the world.

In this game, the Chinese team played the 1st and 4th (home team) games by Ye Hao and served as the first main force, Ma Lin and Wang Liqin played the second and third positions respectively, and the German team discharged Bol, Roscoff, and Fejkonas, with the newcomer Federconas as the No. 1 main force and Bol playing the No. 2 position.

The battle for a place in the final between China and Germany began between Ye Hao and Boer, two world champions. Pol looked at Ye Hao on the opposite table, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. "If it weren't for the World Table Tennis Championships, I was suddenly injured, how could I achieve his name as the strongest dark horse! The men's singles champion of the World Table Tennis Championships should be mine! ”

After the start of the first game, both sides played a little tight, and there were many mistakes on both sides, and the game scene was very ugly. The score was in a stalemate, from 1:1 to 6:6. Then it was Ye Hao's turn to serve, the previous ball Ye Hao sneaked a topspin long ball, and the latter ball became a reverse spin downspin short ball, and the extremely high service quality made Bol eat two serves in a row. After Ye Hao pulled the score apart, he won the first game 11:7.

In the second game, Chinese and German athletes learned from the experience of the first game and paid great attention to getting started. Take the initiative. Ye Hao's ability to hold on to each other was stronger than that of his opponent, and the score once led 5:2, but Bol's tricky landing point also made Ye Hao very uncomfortable, causing Ye Hao to attack the ball out of bounds several times and chase the score to 6:6. Then Ye Hao took the initiative to attack, using the serve to attack, the serve to attack, and the score was stretched to 8:6, and the advantage of these two points was maintained until the endgame, winning another game 11:9.

Bol, who was two games behind, no longer had the arrogance he had before the start of the game, and he finally realized that even if he was not injured unexpectedly at last year's World Table Tennis Championships, he could still not compete with the "strongest dark horse" opposite. Strength never lies, it's there.

In the third game, Bol, who was behind, continued to play steadily, using delicate kung fu balls to fight wits and courage with Ye Hao. This made Ye Hao, who is known for his control, not bargain, and the score rose alternately, coming to 6:6. Ye Hao then used the serve to pull the score to 8:6 again, which forced Bol to call a timeout.

After the resumption of the match, Bol, who returned full of blood, strengthened his service changes, began a Jedi counterattack, and closed the score to 7:8. Ye Hao then used the rush to get three match points, 10:7.

In the last ball, the two entered into a stalemate, Bol exerted his strength, Ye Hao also exerted his strength, and then the two continued to exert force, and the ball speed was played faster and faster, and the audience in the distance could no longer see the trajectory of the table tennis ball. Suddenly, Ye Hao's forehand turned into a backhand, and he pulled a straight ball that changed the line with a backhand!

At 11:7, Ye Hao relied on his courage and carefulness to take the initiative to change, won the third game, and opened the scoring for the Chinese team.

The battle between Marin and the "newcomer" Fegerconas followed, and the world No. 73 Fijaeconas faced the world No. 1 Marin, and said in his heart that the baby was really scared to death. As soon as Marin came up, he swept away thousands of troops with a devastating momentum, so that Fejeconas had only a passive part of being beaten, 11:5, Marin won one game first.

However, as soon as the second game came up, the tiger began to nap, and Marin's mistakes suddenly increased greatly, losing points one after another, and the score fell behind a lot with 3:8. However, the world No. 1 did not relent, continued to strengthen the attack, and miraculously scored five points in a row to chase 8:8, 9:9. Marin took advantage of the advantage of serving in his hand to score two more points in a row, and completed a stunning reversal at 11:9 to win the second game.

In the third game, there was no suspense, Marin still adhered to the strategy of focusing on me and attacking first, and the score soared, ending the battle 11:3, and Marin beat Fejkonas 3:0 to score the second point for the Chinese team.

The third player of the German team is Roscoff, the doubles master, the former representative of the European fierce faction in front of the most skilled Wang Liqin looks old, after the three axes, the slight lead was quickly defused by Wang Liqin, 11:5, Wang Liqin won the first game.

The 35-year-old Roscoff still went his own way in the second game, making reasonable and unreasonable efforts to shoot frequently, not seeking to play right, but only to play hard. His own mistake allowed the veteran to lose another game 6-11. The situation of the third game is still in the hands of Wang Liqin, Wang Liqin's super ability to hold on to Roskf is helpless, 11:7, win another game, the Chinese team also beat the German team 3:0, and successfully entered the final.

The men's team final will be held two days later, and the Chinese team, which has already taken the lead in the final, only needs to wait for the best of the three teams of Germany, South Korea and Sweden to take on the challenge.
