Chapter 144: Desperate Survival
The big score was 0:3 behind, and he was still 9:10 behind in the fourth game, and it was the opponent's match point, Ye Hao had been forced to a dead end, and he couldn't take even one step back. Because, after one step, it is the abyss!
Time out! Ye Hao must use the only timeout of the game!
"Calm down, calm down, I want to be calm!" Ye Hao kept saying to himself that he knew that the only person he could rely on at this time was himself. It's like this life, after all, you have to live by yourself!
We may make mistakes, but let's go through these so-called mistakes instead of listening directly to those so-called experiences! As long as in the end, we can reflect, repent, and change!
Now, Ye Hao has reached the time when he must change, when the game is on the edge of the cliff, it is too late to discuss what techniques and tactics to discuss!
Now, only the strength of the heart, the persistence of the heart, and the victory in the depths of the heart can support Ye Hao to save the crisis and survive!
The one-minute timeout was over, Ye Hao returned to the court, and he stood by the table again, the fire of impatience in his heart had been extinguished, and all that was left was calm, as calm as ice.
Wang Hao served, this time he did not choose topspin, but changed to side downspin, and the ball path also changed from forehand to middle.
Ye Hao saw the direction and rotation of his opponent's serve, and immediately reacted himself. He took a deep breath, his waist and abdomen tensed, and he was ready to start exerting his strength, backshooting the overlord twist, and attacking Wang Hao's forehand!
It was the hair extension on this opponent's match point, Ye Hao was not conservative, he chose to take the initiative, chose to attack, and chose to die on the way to charge even if he died!
Wang Hao was a little surprised, the opponent actually sent the ball to his forehand position at this time, did he let himself attack?
Table tennis! Without hesitation, Wang Hao was ready to pull the ball with his forehand, but as soon as the racket touched the table tennis ball, he deeply felt the strong rotation and irresistible force of this ball!
Wang Hao has no choice, he is ready to send at this time, he has to send it, he can only hastily exert force and afterburner, otherwise he can't catch this ball, and he can't return to the net if he catches it! However, today, Wang Hao's perfect game state and perverted good feel allowed him to solve this crisis, and the ball was pulled across the net and fell in front of Ye Hao.
Ye Hao faced Wang Hao's pull back ball, his face did not change, and he continued to catch the ball with his backhand. This time, Ye Hao did not use the strong twisting and pulling of the previous beat, but chose a quick draw, because he saw that Wang Hao's return ball was not too strong and not too threatening.
Ye Hao's backhand fast volley ball, the landing point is shallower than the previous ball, but the angle is more open. Wang Hao must turn sideways in the face of this ball, throw his body off the table, and use his forehand to catch the ball.
After seeing Wang Hao make the action of catching the ball, Ye Hao quickly prepared for the next ball, and as soon as the table tennis ball fell on his table, he immediately changed to a forehand attack. This time, he didn't use his backhand again, but quickly pulled a board with his forehand and sent the ball to a big angle on Wang Hao's other side!
Wang Hao looked at the ball and sighed! Victory is only one step away, but it is so far away!
At 10:10, Ye Hao resolved the opponent's match point! He temporarily withdrew his outstretched leg from the edge of the cliff and stood on both feet, but the situation was still grim.
It was Ye Hao's turn to serve, in the middle, downspin, and half-out. did not choose the direction of the forehand or backhand, but it was a semi-staged temptation serve, Ye Hao was like Wang Hao before, giving the opponent a chance to attack, the key is whether he can score successfully after the attack.
Wang Hao's choice is exactly the same as Ye Hao before, attack, only attack is king! This may be the common denominator of all top athletes, without this courage, without this domineering, how dare you expect to be able to reach the top of the mountain in your sport, and how can you be qualified to stand among the kings of this sport?
Regarding Wang Hao's choice, Ye Hao seems to have expected it, this may also be a hero cherishing a hero. Even if you know that the opportunity in front of you may become a trap, you can't lose the courage to fight! When the narrow road meets, the brave wins, and only those who dare to show their swords are the real heroes!
In the face of real challenges, in the face of the most difficult battles, there is no such thing as a roundabout tactic, because no matter how much you dodge, no matter how you detour, the difficulties are there, and the enemy is there!
For Wang Hao's return ball, Ye Hao twisted the backhand and pulled the ball back to the opponent's forehand position. Wang Hao then continued to attack with a forehand, while Ye Hao continued to use his backhand to slap his opponent's forehand.
The two started a head-to-head mode, one with a forehand and the other with a backhand. It's just that to the surprise of the players and coaches of the Chinese table tennis team outside the court, it was not Wang Hao who used a backhand to attack horizontally with a straight shot, but Ye Hao, who has always advocated forehand as the king, showed his hideous backhand for the first time after his comeback!
After six rounds, the first person to make a mistake was not Ye Hao, but Wang Hao on the opposite table! His forehand pull flew high off the table and landed on the floor of the court.
At 11:10, Ye Hao reversed the score, and it was also the first time to get a game point in the game.
This time, it was Wang Hao's turn to choose a timeout, this game is too important to him, as long as he can win it in one go, he will win the semifinals, will meet Marin in the final, and then have another chance to compete for the first singles championship of his career table tennis world three series.
After the pause, it was replaced by Wang Hao's serve, Ye Hao did not start fighting directly after receiving the serve, but chose to pull up the arc ball and drag the game into a stalemate stage.
Wang Hao was not impulsive, he patiently pulled against Ye Hao, sometimes with his forehand sideways, sometimes with a straight slap. The entanglement between the two lasted for more than ten rounds, and it was still continuing, and the audience was silent and solemn at this time.
Although the remaining games of this Table Tennis World Cup are all civil wars of the Chinese table tennis team, there are not many spectators who come to watch the game, but as long as they come to the scene, they are either real table tennis fans or diehards of the Chinese team. So the atmosphere in this semi-final was very good, there was not too much noise, and everyone was paying attention to the game.
On the field, Wang Hao's straight shot and horizontal hit once again successfully pulled the table tennis ball onto the table, and at this time, the two of them were already far away from the table and became the opponent of the far platform.
Ye Hao's next catch, he didn't choose to do any tricks, to suddenly shorten or cut the ball or something, he continued to pull the ball, but after ten rounds against Larry, he had consciously used the forehand pull as the main means.
Ye Hao did not continue to use his backhand against Wang Hao's forehand this time, but chose the opposite mode of the previous ball, using his forehand to hit the opponent's straight shot!
Resuming the regular style of play where the forehand is king, Ye Hao slowly began to increase his strength and began to speed up the pace of his shots! If Wang Hao's straight shot is indeed comparable to the forehand of top athletes in the near stage, or even pressed on the head, then in the middle and far platform, it is still a step behind. It is not easy for him to hold on to this ball with his explosive state until now.
Ye Hao used speed, strength and rhythm step by step, and used the strong performance of his forehand on the middle and far platform to press Wang Hao to the backhand, not giving him the opportunity to change into a forehand.
After another three rounds, Wang Hao's straight shot finally made a mistake, and his return ball went to the net! Finally, Wang Hao still made a mistake in the persecution of Ye Hao's forehand.
At 12:10, the final winner of the fourth game was Ye Hao, who was desperate to survive after experiencing the test of match point, and won a chance to breathe.
