On the eve of the men's singles final in the northern region, Team Leader Ma of the Shandong team, Coach Wang and Zhang Chuanming, who came to help his son, were talking about the tactics of tomorrow's game around Zhang Jike.

Team Leader Ma took the lead in speaking: "I learned about the child named Ye Hao who entered the finals of the capital team, he just entered the capital team for training this year, and used to go to primary school in Ningcheng, Suzhou Province, and he was not from a professional background. ”

"But watching his game, the strength should not be underestimated. This kid has a balanced offense and defense, and is especially good at playing with the ball. So you can't get entangled with him, grasp the first three boards, use your backhand advantage, and combine it with a forehand attack. I believe there is a good chance of winning. Coach Wang then analyzed.

Zhang Jike listened to the words of the two and did not answer, but nodded expressionlessly.

While the Shandong team discussed and analyzed the tactics of the final overnight, the atmosphere of the capital team on the other side was very relaxed. Team leader Yao Bin, coach Lu Wei and Ye Hao are watching TV in the room, chatting about tomorrow's game.

"The top three singles goals we set have been completed, tomorrow's game, Ye Hao, don't have too much pressure, just concentrate on the game." Yao Bin said first.

"However, you still have to go all out to win the championship, which is not only a challenge but also a good opportunity for you to get honors." Then he added.

"Then can you give me a vacation after the game, I haven't been home since I came to the team." Ye Hao took the opportunity to mention that he had long wanted to relax and relax.

"I'm afraid it won't work." Lu Wei refused.

"Why?" Ye Hao was anxious.

"Because after the competition in the northern division, you have to participate in the finals, and there is a short-term training camp before that." Yao Bin explained in a timely manner.

"But if you can really win in the final, I'll take you somewhere to play and relax." Coach Lu suddenly spoke at this time.

"Lao Lu, you can't be there, right?"

"Hmm."

"Where the hell is so mysterious?" Ye Hao was intrigued.

"Wait until you win the game tomorrow." Lu Wei grimaced.

Later, no matter how Ye Hao smiled and played tricks, he didn't ask why, so he had to give up. It seems that you will only know if you win the final.

The next day, at a table in the center of the Shenyang Gymnasium, two teenagers were warming up. They are Ye Hao and Zhang Jike, who entered the finals.

The game officially began, with four wins in seven games, and Zhang Jike served first in the first game.

At this time, Zhang Jike's body leaned forward, at an angle of 90 degrees to the table, his arms and elbows were raised, his wrists shook up, and a serve with strong rotation flew towards the table on Ye Hao's side.

This is his trick, the horizontal shot is reversed, and Ye Hao immediately judged it. So he chose to rub a cricket to transition, and the quality of the return ball was good, and it was not introduced.

However, Zhang Jike still used his strong backhand technique to twist a board. The ball was fast, powerful, and spinning strongly, causing Ye Hao to lose the first point.

In the second goal, Zhang Jike still used the same tactics to score another point.

When it was Ye Hao's turn to serve, Zhang Jike's way of receiving the serve was mostly a backhand twist and pull, and the opponent's strength on the backhand caused Ye Hao to make constant mistakes. Soon he lost 6:11 and lost the first set of the final.

During the break, Ye Hao was immersed in thinking, and Coach Lu didn't bother him, just silently handed over mineral water.

Zhang Jike has always been slow to enter the game, which is a point that he was later criticized, even at his peak. However, today's first game was very fast, which brought a lot of trouble to Ye Hao.

"It seems that we have to think of a trick to deal with him, I can't let him get excited, and it will be difficult to win when the time comes." Ye Hao thought about it, and decided to use Ma Long's method of dealing with Zhang Jike in the future. After all, the winning rate of the Long team against Jike is more than 70%.

At the beginning of the second game, Ye Hao took a change, he no longer entangled with Zhang Jike on the backhand, but mobilized the opponent's forehand. This trick really paid off quickly.

On the third ball, Ye Hao's forehand arced sideways, and the landing point went straight to Zhang Jike's right front, forcing him to have a forehand with himself. After another round, Ye Hao pulled the ball to the opponent's forehand position again, and this time, Zhang Jike's forehand pulled back into the net.

2:1, Ye Hao leads.

On the 7th ball, Zhang Jike forcibly twisted a board with his backhand, the quality was average, Ye Hao continued to turn sideways and sent the ball to the opponent's forehand position, and three rounds later, Zhang Jike missed the ball again.

5:2, Ye Hao sang all the way.

Seeing this, Zhang's father Zhang Chuanming, who was watching the game in the audience, couldn't help frowning, his son's forehand is not far behind his backhand, it seems that he will have to strengthen training in the future, otherwise he will be caught by the opponent like now, it is very dangerous.

At 11:6, Ye Hao pulled back a game with the same score. The two were tied 1-1 in the first two innings.

In the third game, Ye Hao continued to follow the strategy of the previous game, attacking Zhang Jike's forehand and avoiding forming a backhand confrontation with him. But Zhang Jike accepted the coach's guidance between the games, and was also aware of Ye Hao's tactics and desperately used his backhand.

For a moment, the game was at a stalemate.

The 9:9 game reached the key score, Zhang Jike served, and he chose to send it to Ye Hao's backhand.

Ye Hao had expected it, knowing that the opponent at this time was to force himself to return the ball with his backhand and let himself fall into his rhythm of the game. Due to the accurate prediction, Ye Hao was prepared early, he was indeed forced to use a backhand, but unexpectedly received the serve and directly changed the line, hitting the ball to the left front of the table, that is, the lower right corner of Zhang Jike's table.

Zhang Jike on the opposite side had already put on a backhand pulling posture, but suddenly found that the table tennis ball did not fly to his backhand but to the forehand position, and he had no time to change for a while, so he could only look at the ball and sigh.

At 10:9, Ye Hao scored a key point.

In the next ball, Zhang Jike used his service advantage to force Ye Hao to hold on to his backhand, but he gave Ye Hao a point due to the mistake of actively changing the line.

As a result, Ye Hao won the third game and led 2:1.

In the next fourth game between the two sides, Zhang Jike was in a hurry to equalize the score, but instead caused his unnecessary mistakes to increase, and returned the ball to the net one after another, eating Ye Hao's serve. This game quickly ended at 5:11, and Ye Hao went to the next city.

Zhang Jike, who was forced into a corner, finally began to play his true colors as a Tibetan mastiff, although he was behind by a big score and was on the line of life and death, he was not weak. In the fifth game, his forehand played at an extraordinary level, hitting a series of good shots.

Just like the last ball after leading 10:8, after Zhang Jike came up and took the initiative with a backhand, he did not continue to attack with his backhand, but turned to his forehand, forcing Ye Hao to put the high ball.

One board, two boards, three boards, Ye Hao was defending hard, and he didn't want to give up any game easily. But the final save was still off the table, 8:11, Ye Hao failed to win, and the total score was 2:3.

At the beginning of the sixth game between the two sides, Ye Hao learned from the experience of losing the previous game, and did not take the initiative to enter the opponent, but wanted to solve the battle in the first three boards. He knew that his opponent was at his best, and he was at a disadvantage.

Since it is not advantageous in the near and far platforms at present, then I will fight with you for the small ball in the stage, which is the countermeasure taken by Ye Hao.

Seeing that Ye Hao quickly adjusted his playing style, the coach and team leader of the Shandong team glanced at each other and felt that something was wrong. Zhang Jike is a power-based style of play and is not superior in flexibility. At this moment, Ye Hao took the small ball in the bucket table, and he saw this. Suddenly, the two of them felt a chill in their hearts, such a young but unique vision and experience, it was really terrifying.

Zhang Jike on the field was indeed in trouble, Ye Hao's practice of avoiding his edge made him feel tricky, and he felt that he couldn't show his skills, so he could only watch his opponent rub or cut, jumping in the stage, and he was tired of dealing for a while.

With the final Ye Hao's on-stage fierce pick, 11:7, the sixth game ended.

Relying on reasonable tactical changes, relying on the successful experience of Ma Long in dealing with Jike in later generations, Ye Hao won the whole game without danger.

"I, yes, crown, army!"

Ye Hao looked up to the sky excitedly and roared. This is different from the municipal competition championship he won in Ningcheng, this is the championship of the northern division of the National Youth Championship, although there is still a finals, but this is the championship he snatched from Zhang Jike!

Who Zhang Jike is, no one knows better than Ye Hao, if he follows the normal trajectory, he will become the 7th Grand Slam player in the history of table tennis, and the 3rd Grand Slam player in the history of Chinese men's table tennis after Liu and Kong.

And now Ye Hao has taken away the championship that belonged to him from Zhang Jike's hands. Ye Hao believes that this is just the beginning!

The most legendary myth in the history of table tennis has begun......
