Chapter Fifty-Nine: Playing Sick
Ye Hao, who entered the finals, was very happy, and what made him even more excited was that he successfully took revenge on Wang Hao, and what satisfied him the most was that his tactical play was successful.
Humming a little song and taking a brisk step, Ye Hao went to the bathroom to take a shower. Ye Hao, who had finished taking a shower, was lying on the bed in big pants, quietly thinking about tomorrow night's final. Now there is no one to support him, he can only rely on his own tactics, and the mature Marin is not comparable to Wang Hao, who is immature at this time, and needs to be paid more attention. Wang Hao didn't win his first singles world championship until the World Cup in 07 in his previous life, and both Ma Lin and Wang Liqin are now singles world champions in hand.
Unconsciously, Ye Hao fell asleep thinking about it. In his sleep, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and couldn't help but shiver, and then fell asleep groggily, the continuous games made Ye Hao's nerves tense, and he didn't want to wake up as soon as he slept.
The next day, Ye Hao, who woke up, felt sore all over his body. "Ahh "I was so careless, I fell asleep last night without a quilt, and it seems that I have a cold. I have to play tonight, what should I do? ”
hurriedly found cold medicine to take, Ye Hao hoped that his cold would not be too serious, otherwise it would affect his state in the evening competition, so that he would miss the championship, then he would really be self-inflicted.
When the evening game was about to start, Ye Hao, who was warming up, felt that his body was still slightly weak, and he knew that this was the drag of the cold. Fortunately, he was only in the early stages of a cold, and if he really waited until the illness worsened, the effect on him would not be limited to that.
The game was about to start, Ye Hao looked at Marin who was preparing on the opposite side, and decided to take a risk, and used fighting tactics as soon as he came up to win the game as soon as possible. If he didn't have any discomfort in his body, Ye Hao would never choose to play in this way, and he would also refer to the strategy of playing with Wang Hao for this final, after all, the strategy of complementing each other and playing steadily has proven to be effective. Now, considering his physical condition, Ye Hao can only hope that he will take away the game in waves, otherwise it will drag on for a long time, and he is afraid that his physical strength will not be able to keep up.
After the start of the game, Ye Hao was anxious to open the situation, and as soon as he came up, he received the serve and attacked, and the ball was powerful, and the attack was very fierce. Liu Guoliang, who was watching the game from the sidelines, felt a little surprised, wondering why his disciple suddenly changed his playing style. Although Marin on the field was also a little surprised, he did not panic, and quickly stabilized the situation with his flexible feet and creative returns.
The score was 8:7, and it was not Ye Hao who was leading, but Ma Lin. Seeing that his score was behind, Ye Hao was even more anxious, if he couldn't take the lead as soon as he came up, then the game would inevitably be dragged into a long set to win, which was extremely unfavorable for himself who was sick. However, the more anxious he is, the easier it is to make mistakes in his busyness, Ye Hao's fighting mistakes are getting more and more, and he didn't score a point in the second half of the first game, and was won by Marin with a score of 11:7.
Ye Hao, who failed to grab the start, fell into a contradiction, what should he do next? It is to continue to adhere to the fighting style and strive to solve the battle quickly; Or do you want to play steadily and wear it down with your opponent?
When Ye Hao was struggling with his tactics, the second game had already begun. Without clear tactical support, he came up and fought very chaotically, like a headless fly, spinning around. When Ye Hao realized his mistake, he was already 3:9 behind Marin. The second game came to an end, and the huge gap of six points in an 11-point game was really hard to chase. This is also the reason why the change from a 21-point system to an 11-point scale has led to a deterioration in the performance of those players who are slow to heat up, and an increase in the likelihood of upsets for high-level players. Because of the increased chances of the game, you have to get into the groove in less time and one step earlier than your opponent in order to get ahead.
At 11:4, Ye Hao lost two games in a row, and the total score was 0:2 behind.
During the break between the rounds, Ye Hao wiped his sweat with a towel and touched his clothes, which were already all soaked with sweat. At this moment, he feels as if his body has been hollowed out (it is estimated that it will not work if a certain kidney treasure comes), and if it continues like this, the game may collapse.
"What to do, what to do?" Ye Hao only had this one thought in his mind now.
Ningcheng, Ye Hao's home.
Because the location of the game is domestic, this time, Ye's father and mother don't have to stay up late to watch Ye Hao's game. Mother Ye looked at Ye Hao, who was wiping his sweat on the TV, and said to Father Ye next to her, "Why did our Xiaohao sweat so much?" ”
"There's nothing you can do without sweating when you play." Father Ye's eyes were still glued to the TV, but his brows were tightly locked, obviously worried about Ye Hao's big score behind.
"But our son's face is pale, could it be that he is sick?" Ye Mu said with a worried face.
Hearing this, Father Ye was stunned for a moment, and after a careful observation, he said in an uncertain tone: "As if it really told you, Xiao Hao's face is a little pale, no wonder he loses so quickly......"
Not only Ye Hao's parents, who were far away in Ningcheng, but also the coaches and players of the Chinese team sitting at the scene gradually discovered that something was wrong.
Liu Guoliang looked at Ye Hao's already sweaty back, and muttered in his heart, "Why do you sweat so much, it's a bit abnormal." Could it be that you are sick? ”
Not mentioning other people's thoughts, Ye Hao, who had already started the third game, was clenching his teeth at the moment, and made up his mind that he must fight this game, otherwise he would have no chance.
Fighting, still fighting, the forehand is fighting, the backhand is also fighting, Ye Hao, who was forced into the corner, can only fight to the death. 3:2, 5:4, 8:6, 9:8, until 10:9, Ye Hao struggled to maintain his slight lead. In the last ball, Ye Hao, who flew to save the ball, could only sit on the ground and watch the table tennis ball fly towards the opposite table, but he was too late and couldn't stand up. Watching the ball fly to Marin's forehand triangle, I saw that the opponent's forehand waved, the racket did not hit the ball, and the table tennis ball leaked from under the racket, Ye Hao's heart was relieved, and the third game was finally won.
1:2, Ye Hao pulled back one point from the total score to avoid standing on the cliff. But at the beginning of the fourth game, Marin quickly launched a rush attack and soon led Ye Hao by as much as four points 5:1, which cast a shadow on Ye Hao's heart.
Next, even if Ye Hao used the backhand surprise attack and the winning hit of the forehand, he chased three points in a row, and the score became 4:5. However, the veteran Marin did not continue to give Ye Hao a chance, and even rushed and picked, and suddenly scored two points in a row, and the score continued to pull away, 4:7.
Then the game was dragged into a tug-of-war by Marin, I get two points, you get three points, I take two more points, give you one point.
Then, just ......
The score became 11:8 and Marin won the fourth game to take a 3-1 lead on aggregate and was just one game away from his second World Cup singles title.
How should Ye Hao, who was forced to go to Liangshan, deal with it?
