When Ye Hao returned to the capital for preliminary examination and treatment, he found that the men's singles competition at the China Table Tennis Open had reached the semifinals. The two matchups in the semifinals were Ma Long vs Wang Liqin and Wang Hao vs Pol.

For these two games, Ye Hao is looking forward to it. Although he has lost the chance to win the championship, they are still concerned about the competition, and the ownership of the championship is still something he is concerned about.

The first of the two semifinals was the match between Ma Long and Wang Liqin, and for this game, Ye Hao felt that the victory or defeat should be between five and five. Although, in terms of qualifications, Wang Liqin is definitely better; In terms of state, at the World Table Tennis Championships in Zagreb in May, he also reached the final, and it stands to reason that Wang Liqin should have a greater chance of winning.

However, Ye Hao didn't think so, he also met Ma Long at the World Table Tennis Championships this year, and it was not easy to win that game at that time. Especially at the beginning of the game, it was not Ye Hao himself who had the advantage on the field, but Ma Long. As the game progressed, Ye Hao deeply felt that Ma Long's strength had grown by leaps and bounds in this year, and he could break his wrists with the world's top table tennis players, and the only thing he needed to maintain was stable performance.

Therefore, Ye Hao is looking forward to this game more than the other. In his opinion, in the match between Wang Hao and Bol, the former has a better probability of winning, even if the latter eliminated Marin with a score of 4:1. However, as far as Ye Hao's feeling in the game with Wang Hao is concerned, he knows that the opponent's strength is the same as Ma Long, and he can't talk about it in the same day as before, not to mention that Wang Hao's mentality has become more mature.

When the match between Ma Long and Wang Liqin began, as Ye Hao judged, the two were evenly matched, and it was difficult to distinguish between them. Ma Long was not frightened in the face of Wang Liqin, who had a strong forehand holding ability, because he himself was praised for his forehand strength.

In the first game, Wang Liqin's performance was decent, continuing his usual habit of slow heat, and his performance was not stable. And Ma Long took this opportunity to take the initiative and gradually occupied the initiative in this game.

2：1，

4：2，

6：3，

8：5，

10：6，

11：7。

In the end, Ma Long won the good start, and his excellent performance in the first few games continued, playing very actively, without giving the big brother the slightest face, and several goals made the opponent embarrassed.

After the start of the second game, Wang Liqin's procrastination was still not cured, and because it was an internal war in the team, there was naturally no coach to give him advice and reminders outside the court. Therefore, in this game, Ma Long's offensive has not decreased, and the advantage is still obvious. In the end, the score was fixed at 11:7, the same score, the same loss, Wang Liqin swallowed another bitter fruit.

The situation of falling behind 0-2 finally put enough pressure on Wang Liqin, forcing him to quickly enter the state and return to his normal feel, otherwise he will be swept by the younger brother in the team, and he will be too faceless as a world champion.

After the start of the third game, Wang Liqin seemed to be a different person, his offense became sharper, and the intensity of his defense was greatly enhanced. This made Ma Long, who had always held the initiative on the court, suddenly very uncomfortable, and it also caused him to finally lose the game. Wang Liqin pulled back a game with 11:5, but the total score was still 1:2 behind.

After experiencing the buffer of the previous game, Ma Long, who was a little stunned, immediately sobered up. In the fourth game, it is naturally impossible for Wang Liqin to be caught off guard like in the previous game.

The scene in the fourth game became intense, Ma Long and Wang Liqin fought for me, no one refused to relax, and no one dared to be careless, because the ownership of this game was very important. When the score came to 9:9, the game entered the most critical moment.

At this time, it was Wang Liqin's turn to serve, and the quality of his serve was average, which gave Ma Long the opportunity to attack. However, Wang Liqin's forehand strength is really strong, so Ma Long's forehand rush did not succeed. The bout then entered the head-to-head stage, and the two men, both of whom were known for their forehand strength, began the final battle.

Fifteen rounds later, Ma Long is still steady and steady, and Wang Liqin's performance is relatively unstable. As a result, after two more shots, Wang Liqin took the initiative to pull the ball out of bounds and sent Ma Long to score, and the game point arrived.

Ma Long faced his first game point of the game, which was also a very critical point in the game, he did not show timidity, and directly attacked after Wang Liqin's serve, and this time he succeeded. At 11:9, Malone won the third game of the game, leading the opponent with a total score of 3:1.

As the dust settled in the fourth game, Wang Liqin, who fell behind 1:3, was kneaded by Ma Long at will like a deflated ball in the fifth game between the two sides. In the end, Ma Long easily won this game, 11:5 and the next city, with a total score of 4:1 to advance to the men's singles final of this Chinese Table Tennis Championships.

Ye Hao was not surprised when he saw the final result of this game, because the current Ma Long does have the qualifications and strength to defeat his opponent. However, the total score of 4:1 against Wang Liqin still surprised Ye Hao a little, and it can only be said that Wang Liqin is really not stable enough in this year's competition. In addition to the highlight performance of the World Table Tennis Championships, he did not have many outstanding performances in various competitions this year.

Immediately afterwards, it was the game between Wang Hao and Bol, in fact, compared with the last Chinese civil war, the national table tennis coaching staff paid more attention to this game. The civil war is fought at will, and the foreign war cannot be lost, and the latter is particularly important for national table tennis.

However, when this game started, after only two games, Liu Guoliang was already relieved, because Wang Hao's performance was very good, and he beat Bol 11:4 and 11:5 in the first two games, showing a very stable and excellent performance.

Sure enough, this game did not surprise Ye Hao, Wang Hao firmly occupied the initiative on the field, and suppressed Bol to death. As a result, it only took 49 minutes for Wang Hao to sweep Bol with a total score of 4:0 to advance to the finals and successfully meet Ma Long. The men's singles championship of the Chinese Table Tennis Championships has fallen into the arms of the Chinese team in advance.

After Ye Hao was injured in an accident, Wang Liqin and Ma Lin, the two big brothers of national table tennis, failed to save their core face and were eliminated one after another. On the contrary, it was Wang Hao and Ma Long who attacked strongly and both advanced to the finals.

The outstanding performance of Wang Hao and Ma Long seems to indicate one thing, that is, the old "Horse King Era" represented by Ma Lin and Wang Liqin is declining, and there is a new "Horse King Era" is rising......
