The round-robin match that leads directly to the second stage of the World Table Tennis Championships began, the same live TV broadcast, everyone is gearing up and going all out, only one person is different, Ye Hao is slightly calm and relaxed.

After the start of the first day of competition, the entire competition field became a battlefield-like place, and fighting and fighting became commonplace here. In this stage of the game, there was no upset like the previous stage, perhaps due to the return to the 11-point system, everyone is very adaptable, and at this time it is the real strength that fights, not the illusory luck.

After the first day of competition, Ye Hao, Ma Lin, Wang Liqin, Ma Long and Wang Hao all maintained a winning record, and Hao Shuai, who had shined in the first stage of selection, lost one of the four games.

Among the five people with a winning record, the most outstanding performance is Ma Long, and the other four are all famous generals who have been famous for a long time, only he belongs to the newcomer and the dark horse. However, this did not surprise everyone, because Ma Long's excellent performance this year is well known.

After the second day's game, there were upsets that began to emerge, first Wang Liqin lost 0:3 to the teenager Qiu Yike, and then Li Ping defeated Wang Hao 3:1. Therefore, after this day's competition, there are only three people left who can continue to maintain an undefeated record, that is, Erma and Ye Hao.

At this stage of the round-robin tournament, the list of candidates for the World Table Tennis Championships has gradually surfaced. Ye Hao is the first place in the first stage, and he is currently ranked first in the second stage, as long as he does not make low-level mistakes in the later games and maintains his good condition, it is a sure thing to take the lead in advancing and qualifying for singles.

Secondly, Ma Long's performance is also very good, as long as he can maintain his current results and ensure that he can rank in the top three in the second stage of the competition, then he can also get a place in the singles of the World Table Tennis Championships.

Among the rest of the people, the person who has the best chance to get the ticket and singles qualification in advance is Marin, and the others have to fight for the remaining three chances to be selected for the World Table Tennis Championships. After all, after the end of the two stages of the competition, there are only six places that can be determined by the national table tennis, and three of them can participate in the singles competition. The remaining places will have to wait for the results of the third phase of the game to be decided, or to get the "wild card" and "direct card" of the coaching staff.

Ye Hao maintained a good attitude, after all, he had the best qualifying situation, but maybe he was too relaxed, which led to his next bohemian and uninhibited overstep, and finally suffered a loss.

On the third day of the game, Ye Hao met a strong opponent in a row, first played a game with Ma Long, who was in the limelight, and lost to the opponent 2:3, and suffered his first defeat in this stage of the game.

However, Ye Hao's bad luck is not over, after losing the game in the morning, he encountered Wang Liqin who was eager to chase points in the afternoon. In the first stage of the competition, Wang Liqin's performance was really average, and he only ranked sixth, which gave him considerable pressure in the second stage of the competition.

Therefore, in this game with Ye Hao, Wang Liqin showed great power, and the offensive firepower was full, and Ye Hao was running all over the field in the confrontation, embarrassed. In the end, 1:3, Ye Hao lost one more game.

On the third day of the game, Ye Hao lost two games in a row, which was beyond everyone's expectations. However, in addition to him, Ma Long and Ma Lin also lost one game each, so the two horses were still tied for the first place in this stage, and Ye Hao was tied for the third place like Wang Liqin and Wang Hao.

When the final day of the tournament was finalized, everyone was working hard to improve their rankings as much as possible. Ye Hao's four games are against Qiu Yike, Zhang Jike, Ma Lin and Wang Hao, which can be said to be tough battles, and a little carelessness may lead to a full loss.

First of all, Ye Hao easily won with a record of 3:0 in the match with Qiu Yike, and then won with a score of 3:1 in the match with Zhang Jike. With two games left over, it wasn't so easy for him.

In the game with Marin, the two were fiercely entangled, and they were on the same page, especially when the two had similar points at this time, and who won or lost was extremely crucial. After four rounds of stalemate, the two sides fought to a 2:2 draw.

The most critical fifth game began, Ye Hao took the lead as soon as he came up, launched a strong attack, and once killed the opponent in a mess, and took a 6:4 lead.

However, Marin is not a target who can be bullied at will, he made a succession on his two serves, grabbed the attack after serving, chased two points in a row, and closed the score to 4:6 again, only two points behind.

The two then returned to a tangled state, Ye Hao and Marin began to score alternately, you get one point, I get one point, the score came to 9:8, Ye Hao continued to maintain a slight lead of only one point.

Next is Ye Hao's serve, he chose to sneak attack the opponent's middle half of the long ball, this serve surprised Marin a little, the quality of the return ball was not effectively controlled under hesitation, and the height of the table tennis rebound was too high, giving Ye Hao a chance.

Ye Hao saw that this opportunity would not be easily missed, so he decisively rushed away and turned on the invincible mode. Under Ye Hao's successive suppression, Ma Lin finally couldn't resist and lost the ball by mistake.

At 10:8, Ye Hao got the match point. Then on Marin's serve, he made it in one fell swoop, received the serve and grabbed the attack, and completed the killer goal.

Now, in the second stage of the game, Ye Hao only has the last game with Wang Hao left, which is another fierce battle. The two also fought hard for five rounds to separate the winner, and the final result was that Ye Hao narrowly defeated his opponent again, and fought until 16:14 in the fifth game to get this hard-won victory.

At this point, the second stage of the direct selection to Zagreb is over, Ye Hao ranked second among all sixteen people with a record of 13 wins and 2 losses, and it was Ma Long who performed well before him, and he only lost one game, which was amazing.

In addition to the two of them, Marin ranked third, and the three of them together qualified for the World Table Tennis Championships and the right to participate in the men's singles. The remaining three qualifications fell into the hands of Wang Hao, Wang Liqin and Hao Shuai.

For such a result, men's table tennis coach Liu Guoliang not only praised Ma Long, saying that his upside is very large, and his strength will be terrible in the future, but he also criticized the performance of the rest of the main players for not meeting expectations.

In short, for Ye Hao, the selection for the World Table Tennis Championships is over, and the third stage of the selection has nothing to do with him, and he can sit back and watch the situation come back.
