Chapter 182: Trouble
At the point of the first game, it was Ye Hao's turn to serve, and he couldn't make any mistakes in this ball, otherwise he would lose the opportunity. A backhand counter-spin serve, Ye Hao tries to attack the relative weakness of his opponent's technique.
Ma Long seemed to have predicted Ye Hao's choice, and had already prepared sideways in advance, and when the table tennis ball rebounded in front of him, he immediately launched it, and swung it out directly and vigorously with a round forehand.
The ping-pong ball was like a speeding cannonball, spraying out and attacking Ye Hao. In the face of this long-planned attack, in the face of this ferocious attack, Ye Hao was like a drowning man, desperately trying to live, but the water surface and air were so far away from him.
At 12:10, Ma Long relied on a beautiful return to grab the attack, successfully won the first game, and took a 1:0 lead in the total score.
The game continued, in the second game, Ye Hao began to exert his strength, and the taste of falling behind was not pleasant, he was full of firepower at the beginning of this game, trying to take the lead in one fell swoop.
In the first ball, Ye Hao's serve, after Ma Long's crazy arc ball, he suddenly turned defense into offense, turned his force into a straight line, and won the initiative on the court in one fell swoop. Subsequently, Ye Hao kept mobilizing his opponent to run around, tossing back and forth, and finally consumed Ma Long to death.
The third ball, Malone's serve, was a rather cautious underspin short ball. Ye Hao doesn't care whether the opponent is bold or cautious, he is never ambiguous when it is time to attack, and he bursts up with a pick, which turns Ma Long's defense upside down. Then, with the suppression of three consecutive forehands, Ye Hao successfully broke through Ma Long's position.
1:0,
2:0,
3:0,
……
7:2,
9:3,
11:4。
In this game, Ye Hao's performance was completely different from the previous game, like playing chicken blood, eating stimulants, and using all the eighteen martial arts in one go, and "beating" Ma Long to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he was embarrassed.
However, happy times always pass very quickly, and Malone has grown a lot this year, and soon adjusted his condition to the best, and in the third game, he immediately returned the color.
The fourth ball, Ye Hao's serve, a serve that was slightly suspicious of the stage, was caught by Ma Long at the slightest chance. Ma Long decisively attacked sideways, using his forehand, quickly whipping, and the ping-pong ball flew out at the speed of light, rushing towards Ye Hao's backhand.
The result was obvious, Ye Hao was hit by Ma Long's attack, and after reluctantly pushing the backhand weakly, he no longer had the strength to counterattack. Ma Long followed up with a forehand rush, and Ye Hao was scattered, and there was no room for recovery.
The score of the third game is like a repeat of the second game, except that this time the leading side becomes Ma Long, and Fei Ye Hao.
1:0,
3:1,
5:2,
7:3,
9:4,
11:5。
After losing the previous game, Ma Long regained his strength and once again took the lead in the total score, suppressing Ye Hao 2:1.
For Ye Hao, the game in the past two days was extremely unsmooth, needless to say in yesterday's mixed doubles final, when he won two games first, he was pulled four games in a row by his opponent, and it was a pity to lose, what a pity.
Today's men's singles match should have been Ye Hao's strength, after all, with his singles strength, who in the world table tennis can resist it?
However, the house leak happened to rain overnight, Ye Hao's state in this game was not stable, when he was strong and sometimes weak, he could suppress the opponent when he was strong, but he was suppressed by the opponent when he was weak. It can be described as a day and a place, and the contrast is too great!
No, the next game will show this characteristic to the fullest. In the fourth game, Ye Hao once again turned into a repentant prodigal son, and after a strong attack, the game returned to his track.
In this game, Ma Long had an obvious disadvantage at the beginning stage, and the score was far behind. Therefore, he wisely gave up strategically while fighting, conserving his physical strength on the one hand, and losing no time in finding his form on the other.
In the end, Ye Hao won the fourth game 11:7 and equalized the score again. However, once the total score became a draw, Ye Hao seemed to lack the motivation to move forward, and the game was played without passion.
In the fifth game, after a dormant game, Ma Long exerted his strength again, multi-point mobilization of forehand attack, methodical backhand defense, and even occasionally one or two beautiful counterattacks, which can be described as bursting in state.
On the other hand, Ye Hao is like a wilted lobster, the big pincers with teeth and claws have been pulled out, there is no threat at all, the score has been expanded step by step, and the game is developing in a direction that is unfavorable to him.
1:0,
3:1,
5:2,
7:5,
9:5,
11:6。
Ma Long won the fifth game and once again took the lead in the men's singles quarterfinals. Ye Hao fell behind twice and tied twice in this game, but Ma Long still stubbornly took the lead for the third time.
For Ye Hao, this is a game that is not going well, this is a worrying game, and this is a game that is constantly troublesome.
The game came to the sixth game, and Ye Hao had to win when he had to win, and this time he had to cheer up and get excited like he did in the previous two times, and equalize the game again.
Ye Hao began to serve, a decent short ball in the table, after Ma Long pulled the ball up, the two began to hold each other. Ten rounds later, Ye Hao relied on a backhand board to suddenly change direction and riskily won a point.
In the second ball, Ye Hao's serve was still stable, Ma Long wanted to grab the ball, although the table tennis ball was successfully on the stage, but the threat was not great, and Ye Hao was able to receive the ball calmly. After more than ten rounds of stalemate, Ma Long's forehand successfully withstood the pressure from Ye Hao and pulled back a point.
On the third ball, Ye Hao faced Ma Long's serve and decided to attack directly, and jumped out with a fierce pick. However, at this time, Malone did not suffer again, he successfully defended perfectly and caught the ball. Subsequently, Malone took the lead in changing the line in the confrontation, scored another point, and overtook the score 2:1.
In the fourth ball, Ma Long's second serve, Ye Hao did not choose to attack again, but unexpectedly slashed a board, and the ball landed at a tricky point and landed in the left corner of the table in front of Ma Long. Although the speed of this ball is not fast, but the landing point is really tricky, Malone did not react in time, missed the ball, and the score became a tie again.
The fifth goal, Ye Hao won, the score is 3:2,
The sixth goal, Ma Long won, the score is 3:3,
……
In the eighteenth goal, Ye Hao won, the score was 9:9, and the two sides drew again.
The nineteenth goal, Ma Long won, the score is 10:9, Ye Hao's big crisis is coming!
