After entering the quarterfinals, Mr. Xu became more enthusiastic and positive. No, as soon as the game ended, he immediately collected the information of the top eight players and wanted to analyze it for Ye Hao.

Indeed, at this time, Xu Zhizhong's heart ignited a raging flame, watching Ye Hao's excellent performances, he felt that he could no longer be satisfied with the status quo, and could have higher and clearer goals.

Director Wang of the school's physical education group will retire next year, and many eyes are fixed on this leadership position, and Teacher Xu is no exception.

If under his leadership, he can win medals or even championships in municipal table tennis competitions, then after going back, the leaders will inevitably appreciate and attach importance to it, and promotion is a matter of course.

"The top eight, except for you and another county sports school, the rest are all from the Ningcheng sports school table tennis team. Xiao Hao, your opponent in the next round is Ningcheng Sports School, but his strength is not as good as Chen Chen in this round. There should be no suspense that you will win the game, but you can't let your guard down, you still have to give it your all. Mr. Xu introduced the situation of his opponent and encouraged him step by step.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xu. My goal is to win the championship and take every game seriously! Ye Hao finally showed his true thoughts and real goals at this time.

This is exactly what Mr. Xu wants, he said excitedly. "Good boy, ambitious. If you can win the first place, but you win the honor for our school, the teacher will also follow suit. ”

Then the next day, Ye Hao lived up to expectations, did not lose a game, easily won the game 3-0, and advanced to the semifinals.

After the end of the fifth day of competition, the top four men's singles in the upper primary school group have been determined. Except for Ye Hao, the other three are all from Ningcheng Sports School, which shows its strength.

On the sixth day of the game, Ye's father and Ye's mother also came to the scene, they didn't expect Ye Hao to achieve his current results, and even began to wonder in their hearts, could this child really have a very high talent in table tennis.

The semifinals are about to start, and Ye Hao is already preparing to practice on the court. The opponent in this game was quite tall, about 1.5 meters, and suddenly said before the two started to practice, "Hello, it's Xiaoyu's classmate, right?" I'm her cousin, I heard that you are at a good level, let's have a good fight today. ”

"Cousin? What about Fu Hai? When Ye Hao heard this, he immediately thought that he had indeed met Wang Xiaomei here a few days ago, but why did a cousin come out again.

"Fu Hai is Xiaoyu's second cousin, and I am the eldest cousin, called Huang Xiang." The eldest cousin explained with a smile.

I see, I didn't expect that there were a lot of cousins of that little girl. But it's a coincidence, it's me who comes to play against her cousin every time. Thinking of this, Ye Hao couldn't help but tease, "That's sorry, big cousin, I'm here to eliminate you today." ”

After speaking, Ye Hao swept around, and sure enough, he found a beautiful little figure, standing directly opposite, and it was really Wang Xiaoyu, the little Lori.

When Huang Xiang heard these arrogant words, he didn't get angry, but raised his eyebrows and said quietly, "You have to fight to know." ”

"Whoever asked the two of you to stand here and chat, if you don't want to practice, just start the game." The referee saw that the two had been chatting, and said angrily.

Okay, skip the warm-up, and the two of them will directly start to fight hard with "bayonets"!

In the first game, Ye Hao served first, and sent a downspin short ball sideways with his backhand. After the ball crossed the net, the spin was extremely strong and the landing point was shallow, forcing Huang Xiang to defend only one board.

Due to the strong spin of the ball, Huang Xiang's return ball borrowed too much, which caused the ball to come out. Seeing this, although the opponent's return ball had a certain amount of downspin, Ye Hao still boldly pulled a curved ball to take the lead.

Although Ye Hao's arc ball is not very powerful, because the rotation and landing point are very threatening, Huang Xiang on the opposite side can only reluctantly use his backhand and want to pull back. The result was that the ball was returned out of bounds, and Ye Hao scored the first point.

Wang Xiaoyu, who was watching from the side, saw that his cousin had a bad start, and he had a bad premonition in his heart, could it be that the two cousins were going to become the defeated subordinates of Ye Hao, a nasty ghost.

The game continued, Ye Hao played steadily, gave full play to his straight forehand advantage, took the initiative to get started, and played with the opponent to hold the ball, supplemented by a straight shot and horizontal play, the strength of the balance of the forehand and backhand, there seemed to be no shortcomings at all, so that Huang Xiang on the opposite side did not know where to start.

Huang Xiang is a right-handed side-by-hand shot, his backhand is his strong point, and his forehand is slightly weaker. After testing a few balls, Ye Hao discovered this weakness, and as a result, the ball was sent directly to Huang Xiang's forehand, not giving him a chance to play his backhand.

This strategy made Huang Xiang feel very passive, and the result was 6:11, and he quickly lost the first game.

At the beginning of the second game, Huang Xiang learned the reason for the loss in the previous game, and used his backhand to suppress Ye Hao's backhand position at the beginning, limiting his forehand play, which worked very well, and once led 8:4.

Although Ye Hao knows the technique of straight shooting and horizontal fighting, after all, he is a halfway monk, in fact, except for Wang Hao, there is no one after direct shooting and horizontal fighting.

Not every player can explode a horizontal shot with a backhand like Wang Hao, and the straight shot backhand is locked and only dies. And Wang Hao's style of play is extremely difficult to cultivate. After so many years, there is still only one Wang Hao, which is the best proof. With the end of the era of "two kings and one horse", direct shooting is gradually declining, which is a natural thing.

With Huang Xiang scoring a beautiful backhand quick arc ball, the second game ended. He returned an 11-6 to pull one back.

As the game became more and more played, the opponents he encountered became stronger and stronger, and Ye Hao found that his straight backhand gradually became a shortcoming. Although he uses a combination of straight and push, he often feels stretched when he encounters strong opponents compared to his natural backhand advantage.

However, this was the critical moment of the game, and Ye Hao's attention was still on how to win the game. In response to Huang Xiangqiang's strategy of eating his own backhand, Ye Hao decided to give full play to the advantage of the first three boards of the direct shot, and launched it first, not giving the opponent a chance to suppress his backhand.

In the third game, the two sides played to 9:9, and the game was difficult to solve. Ye Hao served, and Huang Xiang's return ball was still sent to Ye Hao's backhand. But Ye Hao had expected it, and was already waiting there sideways, and a powerful arc ball came back and caught the opponent off guard.

At 10:9, Ye Hao got the third game point.

In the next ball, Ye Hao boldly sent a forehand topspin short ball, with obvious intentions, which was to seduce Huang Xiang to pull against him.

But Huang Xiang is not a fool, he forcibly used his backhand, pulled the ball over the table, and still wanted to attack the backhand with Ye Hao.

Well, this is actually within Ye Hao's calculations. Because it was a reluctant return ball, the quality was not high, and the spin was not strong, Ye Hao easily seized the opportunity and scored with a straight shot.

In the third game, Ye Hao won and led 2:1 in total.

In the crucial fourth game, did Ye Hao win directly, or did Huang Xiang survive in a desperate situation?

Ye Hao's plan was not to leave the slightest thought for the other party, he wanted to kill the game. "It's time to make a big move, big cousin, you can say goodbye to this competition with peace of mind."
