Chapter 125: Test the sword with the Mizutani Falcon
When the draw for the men's singles match came out, Ye Hao looked at the match table and smiled, smiling very happily. His first opponent was an acquaintance - Japanese teenager Mizutani Hayabusa.
When Ye Hao first entered the national second team, he once met Mizutani Falcon in the Asian Youth Championships, and ravaged the opponent very badly, and twice in a row. One of them was the men's singles final of the Asian Youth Championships, and the other was in the men's team competition.
So when Ye Hao saw that his first-round opponent was Mizutani Falcon, he couldn't help laughing, and remembered that the arrogant Mizutani Falcon was beaten by himself into the embarrassed appearance of the Fugu Falcon, which was really relieved and happy!
Since the Japanese team and Mizutani Hayabusa have touched their heads again this time, Ye Hao is not ready to be polite to them, it just so happens that he needs to play prestige and morale in the first battle of his comeback, so let's try the sword with Mizutani Hayabusa!
Ye Hao wanted to see how much Mizutani Falcon's psychological quality had improved after so many years, and whether he could abuse the other party again. Of course, in Ye Hao's opinion, there is no suspense in beating the Falcon in the Flower Water Valley, the question is just how long the other party can last.
Just when Ye Hao was thinking about how to "bully" Mizutani Falcon, Mizutani Falcon on the other side also learned that the opponent he would meet in the first round was Ye Hao.
Tomokazu Kobayashi, the coach of the Japanese team, once led the team in the Asian Youth Championships, and now he is the head coach of Mizutani Hayabusa. However, although a few years have passed, he still remembers the humiliation that the Chinese team, especially Ye Hao, brought to him, Mizutani Hayabusa, and the Japanese team in the Asian Youth Championships.
"Mizutani, this time it's your revenge battle! Ye Hao's right hand has been abolished, and now he can only play with his left hand, which he has just practiced for less than half a year. This is your chance, you must beat him and let the Chinese team know that you are the next star of tomorrow! ”
Coach Tomokazu Kobayashi was full of incendiary words, which made the young and immature Mizutani Hayabusa scream, eager to play immediately and double the shame and pain that Ye Hao had brought him.
The first round of the men's singles at the China Table Tennis Open began. Ye Hao is about to play, and head coach Liu Guoliang is on the sidelines as the sideline guide of this game, and he also wants to see Ye Hao's training results in the past six months.
The first game of Ye Hao VS Mizutani Hayabusa began.
Mizutani Hayabusa was the first to serve, and looking at Ye Hao, who was heroic on the other side of the table, his heart was jealous for no reason.
"It's a blessing to be a Grand Slam winner at such a young age. But fortunately, Asumasu blessed him and made his right hand useless, so let's see how I show my might! ”
Mizutani Falcon, like the current Ye Hao, has the same style of playing with his left hand holding the racket. His first serve was a half-benched downspin ball, and it was obvious that the arrogant Mizutani Hayabusa didn't take Ye Hao's left-handed strength seriously at all.
Ye Hao saw the opponent's provocative serve, did not hesitate, launched an attack sideways, and rushed away! The ping-pong ball was like a speeding cannonball, heading straight for Mizutani Hayabusa's table in the middle of the table.
Mizutani was stunned, only to see a bolt of lightning streak across his side, and he didn't have time to react at all. He turned his head and stared blankly at the table tennis ball that had fallen to the ground, his lips slightly open, and he looked surprised.
The score was 1:0, and Ye Hao was ahead.
Although the game had just begun, the coach on the sidelines, Tomokazu Kobayashi, couldn't sit still at this time, and a spirit stood up and shouted at Mizutani Hayabusa who was in a daze in the field: "Mizutani, don't get distracted, concentrate on playing!" ”
Mizutani's stunned gaze was interrupted by Coach Kobayashi's voice, and he quickly picked up the ball on the ground and prepared to continue playing. In the second ball, Mizutani Hayabusa didn't dare to be careless anymore, and he honestly sent a short ball in the table.
Ye Hao looked at the other party's trembling cowardice, and decided to take a risk and attack it. This rush attack greatly surprised Mizutani Falcon's expectations, he didn't expect Ye Hao's courage to be so fat, or even more arrogant than himself, to dare to launch a strong attack on him. After receiving this ball in a hurry, Mizutani Hayabusa didn't have the energy to attack again, so he had to defend a board and block the ball back.
Ye Hao took advantage of the advantageous situation formed by the attack, and continued to be unforgiving, and it was another violent buckle. His right hand can't exert his strength, but now he uses his left hand, and there is no lack of strength, Ye Hao can finally experience this strong offensive feeling in the game again.
The fast and powerful shot soon reached Mizutani's eyes, his racket was just set, and the moment the racket touched the ball, he felt a huge force pass through the racket to his wrist.
"Bang", a crisp sound sounded, the ping pong ball flew high, and then flew towards Ye Hao, but it did not fall on the table, but fell directly into Ye Hao's open palm.
2:0, Ye Hao broke Mizutani Falcon's two serves.
Now it's Ye Hao's turn to serve, looking at the Mizutani Falcon on the opposite side with a murderous look, wanting to return the color, Ye Hao is secretly vigilant in his heart.
Short ball in the table with strong downspin in the direction of Mizutani's backhand position. Mizutani Hayabusa is bent on avenging the arrow that his serve was broken just now, so it doesn't matter if Ye Hao sends a short ball or a long ball, an inside ball or a billiard, a downspin ball or an upspin ball or a non-spinning ball. He only knew that he was going to attack, he wanted revenge!
"Pong!" A powerful hitting sound clearly echoed on the field, and the coach of the Japanese team outside the court, Tomokazu Kobayashi, had stood up excitedly when he saw this scene, his fists were clenched tightly, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and the cheers were in his mouth, ready to break out at any time.
However, the next scene made Kobayashi Tomokazu hold his voice in his mouth, so that his face was flushed and his chest continued to rise and fall.
Mizutani Hayabusa's seemingly dangerous attack rushed to the net! Mizutani was too anxious and underestimated the downspin of the ball.
0:3, Mizutani Falcon is still bald and has not received a penny.
On the fourth ball, Ye Hao continued to serve, this time it was still a downspin ball in the table. After the mistake of the last goal, coupled with the fact that he has not scored, he finally did not dare to continue to be arrogant. He chose a safe way to catch the ball and cut a board.
The two finally had their first multi-shot round since the tournament. One beat, two beats, three beats, until ten rounds later, Ye Hao ended the battle with a backhand quick draw line.
At 4:0, Ye Hao's lead was expanding, and Mizutani Falcon began to become more and more anxious.
5:0,
5:1,
6:2,
7:2,
9:3,
10:3,
11:4。
The game in the first game ended quickly, and the scene became one-sided, and Mizutani Hayabusa was behind in the overall time, not bringing a little threat to Ye Hao, let alone revenge.
With a 1:0 lead, Ye Hao returned to the field to rest.
