Chapter 14: The First Champion

Ye Hao's opponent in the final is Zhu Sen, a twelve-year-old boy from Ningcheng Sports School, the runner-up of the last session, and his goal this year is to go one step further - to win the championship.

In this final, Ye Hao chose to play with a horizontal shot, while the opponent was a straight shot. Of course, Ye Hao's shot is a temporary double happiness finished shot, and now he has not yet had a unique battle shot that really belongs to him.

At the beginning of the game, Ye Hao drew lots and got the opportunity to serve first.

For the first ball, Ye Hao's choice was to cut the downspin ball in a horizontal hook style, which was a widely used and practical serve, and it was also the most commonly used way to serve before his rebirth.

Although Zhu Sen returned the ball over the net, the quality was not high, and the ball landed very positively. Ye Hao pulled a backhand diagonally, and the ball flew to the lower right of the opposite table. Zhu Sen's backhand had no time to react, and he could only watch as the ping-pong ball hit the table and flew off the table.

Ye Hao scored the first point.

In the second ball, Ye Hao's old trick was repeated, and he still used his backhand to suppress and score another point.

"It seems that this Ye Hao is ready to use Huang Xiang's strategy to deal with him in the last game to deal with Zhu Sen, using the backhand advantage to eat." Coach Hu Daodao, who was watching the game, said to an old man beside him.

This old man is Zhang Bing, the coach of the Suzhou Provincial Table Tennis Team, who came to watch Ye Hao's game today. "Now it's up to the little guy named Zhu Sen to take advantage of the direct shot in the first three boards. But has this Ye Hao really been using direct shooting before? Looking at these two balls alone, his horizontal racket skills are very solid, is he really a rare genius, he can practice both grip techniques well at a young age. ”

In the first game of the two, Zhu Sen's backhand was suppressed, and Ye Hao gradually took the initiative and won the first game with a score of 11:7.

After the end of the first inning, the two sides took a short break on the sidelines. Zhu Sen was thinking about the game he had just lost, although he was unwilling, he couldn't deny that the teenager on the other side who was younger than him had indeed suppressed himself in terms of technical play.

If it goes on like this and doesn't change, Zhu Sen feels that he is more than lucky. He is really unwilling, he missed the championship last year, is he still going to be second this year?

In the next second game, as soon as he came up, Zhu Sen began to attack in a fighting style, striving to reduce the number of rounds between the two, or even use one round to solve the battle with one board.

Ye Hao obviously didn't expect such a crazy style of play from his opponent, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while.

"Yes, Jusen's reaction is very fast, and he still has a chance to go on like this. Instructor Zhang, you see that the level of my students here is not bad. After Hu Daodao saw that Zhu Sen took the initiative on the field, he smiled and communicated with Zhang Bing on one side.

"It's decisive enough, but it depends on whether there are corresponding adjustments on the other side. If the opponent can withstand this attack, then Zhu Sen's anger will be discharged. The old man replied calmly.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Bing's words fell, Ye Hao played with a beautiful borrowing, and lightly skateboarded his forehand sideways to send the ball to Zhu Sen's backhand. At this time, Zhu Sen was just ready to turn sideways, but who knew that the ball had already reached his left side, and it was too late to change his posture to receive the ball.

Ye Hao pulled the score to 5:7. What's more important is that Ye Hao has found a way to deal with the opponent, if you attack, I will not fight with you, but pay more attention to the change of the landing point, so that you have strength but can't.

Relying on steady and steady step by step, coupled with Zhu Sen's fighting attack itself is prone to mistakes, Ye Hao finally won the second game with an 11:9 reversal.

At this point, Ye Hao led 2:0 in total, and he was only one game away from the championship.

At the beginning of the third game, Zhu Sen still continued the fighting style of the previous game, either straight shot and strong attack, or took the initiative to pull the arc ball, or took the initiative to exert force with the forehand, anyway, he tried all means to attack.

In the face of this situation, Ye Hao, who has experience, is not afraid, he dials thousands of pounds in four or two, overcomes rigidity with softness, and uses his forehand and backhand to mobilize the opponent without hurrying, widening the angle of the ball, causing Zhu Sen to run all over the court.

Soon the score came to 10:7, and Ye Hao got the championship point. Facing the first championship in his life, although it was only an amateur competition for teenagers, Ye Hao's heart was still very excited.

This will be his first championship after his rebirth, his ticket to professional table tennis, and the starting point for him to achieve his goal of rebirth......

Zhu Sen served, and at this time, he knew that he was weak and could only be caught. The quality of the serve is very poor, it is a billiard, and Ye Hao can easily attack directly.

However, Ye Hao was too nervous and excited at this time, and he returned the ball too hard, and the ball was directly knocked away.

At 10:8, Ye Hao wasted a championship point.

When it was Ye Hao's turn to serve, the forehand wanted to send a short ball with downspin, but when the ball came to the stage, he found that the ball was long. Jussen didn't waste the chance and scored with a sideways forehand.

At 10:9, Ye Hao wasted the second championship point again, and the score was only one point ahead.

Zhu Sen seemed to see a glimmer of life, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

Ye Hao took a deep breath and calmed himself down. At this moment, he is no longer thinking nonsense, and all that is left in his eyes is the table and the opponent opposite. The shouts and chatters of the outside world all disappeared, and his world was completely silent.

The backhand sidespin short ball is of quite high quality, with strong spin and a shallow drop. Jussen wanted to rub the back board for the transition, but unfortunately he underestimated the strength of the spin of the ball, and the return ball hit the net belt and landed on his side of the table.

Jussen receives serve and falls into the net.

At 11:9, the third championship point was finally cashed in!

Ye Hao finally withstood the pressure, won the third game, and also won the final victory in the final.

After the race, a simple victory ceremony.

No camera, no reporter, very simple, but it is the first champion in Ye Hao's life. This crown will go down in history and remain on his life resume.

In 2001, the men's singles champion of the 5th Ningcheng Primary and Secondary School Students' Table Tennis Competition in the upper primary school group was Ye Hao!

Holding a small trophy with not fine workmanship, Ye Hao smiled happily like a child. Well, in fact, he is now an 11-year-old boy, but who knows that his soul is an "uncle" who has lived for more than 20 years.

"I want this kid." Zhang Bing, who was standing outside the court, looked at Ye Hao's heroic face with a little childishness, and said firmly.

"I know that you can take a fancy to it, how about it, did I make a meritorious contribution this time?" His apprentice Hu Daodao said with a smile on the side at this time.

"yes, you did a great job this time! If this good seedling is poached by other teams, I will have to regret it for the rest of my life. Zhang Bing did not hesitate to praise this time.

But the reality is full of unknowns and uncertainties, and at the same time, a thin man with glasses is talking to someone on the phone, and a name is mentioned on the phone from time to time, it is Ye Hao.

What Ye Hao will do next, it is still unknown.
