Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Devil's Home Field

On the morning of the third day of the Greek Open, the stadium suddenly became crowded and the number of spectators who came to watch the tournament increased dramatically. It turned out that Greece's local player Glinka was about to play, and his opponent was Ye Hao of the Chinese team. Perhaps knowing that this was an extremely difficult match for their own players, countless Greeks chose to come to the scene to give their support and encouragement.

As soon as Ye Hao entered the competition venue, he felt an unusual atmosphere. Looking at the full audience in the stands, Ye Hao felt very surprised, knowing that the attendance rate was less than half of the first two days of the game. But soon he felt the "enthusiasm" of the Greek people.

After the start of the game, the first ball Ye Hao caught the ball and attacked, the ball just touched the net, and the speed decreased sharply, but he still stumbled over the net and came to the table. At this time, Glinka was completely prepared for the deceleration of the ball, and smashed the table tennis ball with a rush. The ball that was hit flew towards Ye Hao with a thousand momentum.

"Ping", a dull sound, after the ball hit the table in front of Ye Hao, it rebounded at high speed, Ye Hao didn't have time to react, and was hit by the ball and hit his left arm.

"Shhh Ye Hao couldn't help but groan, the power of this ball was really extraordinary, and the pain of hitting his body was obvious.

At this time, the atmosphere of the audience was like the waves of the sea, it was a big wave that hit, and the tide hit the sea, setting off a wave of waves. The Greek spectators raised their arms and chanted, whistled, and applauded, and almost all of them cheered for their country's athletes to score a game.

Ye Hao felt that the scene in front of him was so familiar, as if he had returned to the final of the Paris World Table Tennis Championships, when all the European audiences were cheering for Schrager, and Ye Hao, who was suppressed by the atmosphere, lost the first game.

"I'm not the unknown kid I used to be. I'm a World Champion! If you want to suppress me with the atmosphere of the home field, dream! ”

On the second ball, Glinka's serve was half off, and Ye Hao continued to choose to receive the serve to attack, and the ball went straight to the opponent's backhand position. Glinka received the ball with a backhand, Ye Hao then hit a backhand afterburner, the ball accelerated over the table, and hit the opponent after rebounding on the stage.

1:1, split evenly. Ye Hao returned a ball to the opponent in the same way.

Next, Ye Hao did not give Glinka as the host face at all. After serving, he used the first hand advantage to attack, and scored two points in a row to overtake the score.

3:1。

……

As the game progressed, the devil's home atmosphere that the Greek audience tried their best to create gradually weakened, because Ye Hao in the game completely dominated and suppressed Glinka to death. The Greek crowd watched their homegrown players lose in the arena and lost as well

The young player who won the World Table Tennis Championships as a dark horse has now grown into the core of the Chinese table tennis team. The momentum of the home team to oppress Shima is no longer a problem for Ye Hao.

In the first game, Ye Hao led by four points and resolved the battle 11:7.

In the second game, Ye Hao's hand was still hot, and Glinka was beaten so much that he couldn't find the north, and he was in no state. At 11:6, Ye Hao played another game.

However, he is now ranked ninth in the world, and Glinka finally adjusted his mentality in the third game, and his hand gradually picked up, and he played a lot of beautiful good shots. This allows the Greek audience to finally release after holding back for a long time.

"Well done! Glinka, that's how to keep fighting. ”

"Beat the Chinese kid flat!"

"You can win, Glinka!"

……

The third game ended with Glinka pulling one back, with a score of 11:8.

Of course, Ye Hao on the field didn't know what the audience was shouting, after all, he couldn't understand Greek. But looking at the momentum, you can guess with your toes that you must be helping Glinka. However, Ye Hao is not afraid, the opponent is also a world-class player, as long as the state is not extremely bad, it is impossible for him to keep a clean sheet against the opponent, and it is expected to lose one or two games.

At the beginning of the fourth game, the two returned to the court, and it was Ye Hao's turn to serve first. The arena was noisy at this time, some were cheering for Glinka, some were booing Ye Hao, and they couldn't be quiet anyway. It wasn't until the referee intervened that the field gradually fell silent.

Ye Hao began to serve, serving in reverse rotation, but the quality was average. When Glinka saw the opportunity coming, he was not relentless, after all, there was the audience standing behind him, and he even had a lot of confidence with himself.

Glinka took the initiative to mobilize Ye Hao's backhand on the first board arc ball, and after Ye Hao returned the ball, he turned back with a backhand with a larger angle. Although Ye Hao also tried to bring the table tennis ball back, he had lost his position. Glinka changed the line of the forehand position on the next board, and finally realized the advantage formed by the previous two shots, and the beautiful forehand and backhand mobilized the opponent to score. This ball is really wonderful from the beginning of the return attack, to the left and right transfer later, and then to the final fatal line change strike.

The enthusiasm of the Greek audience was once again detonated, Ye Hao felt that the ceiling of the stadium seemed to be lifted, although it was said that he was no longer too afraid of the opponent's home advantage, but this atmosphere still made him feel quite uncomfortable.

The second ball is still Ye Hao's serve, this time the quality of the ball is very high, with both spin, power and landing point. However, Glinka's hand at this time was simply bursting, and he directly grabbed the short ball in the table and succeeded. Ye Hao didn't expect the ball to come so quickly, and hurriedly pushed the ball back. Seeing this, Glinka didn't know that his opportunity had come again, and now he was fully out of shape, and he went straight to the bottom left corner of the table with a straight shot.

2:0, Glinka scored another point. The whole stadium was boiling again, which made everyone in the Chinese team watching the game on the sidelines worried.

"The audience's reaction is too strong, as if they want to eat people." Ma Long did not have any other matches in this open tournament except for the men's doubles with Ye Hao. So as long as it is Ye Hao's game, he will come to watch, one is to cheer, and the other is to learn.

"After all, this year's Olympics are being held here, and it's conceivable that the emotions of the fans in Greece are high. However, this has to test Ye Hao's pressure resistance. I don't know when, Liu Guoliang also came to the sidelines.

"Director Liu, you're here too."

"yes, Marin's game is over. The battle is fierce here, and I'm a little worried. ”

Ye Hao, the object of everyone's worries, was indeed in a quagmire at this time. If the first goal of this game was just a disadvantage for Glinka to himself, then now it is going to force Ye Hao to a dead end.
