Chapter 120: The Strength of the Left Hand
Ye Hao, who was determined to persevere to the end, shook his head to Liu Guoliang on the sidelines, signaling that he could continue to play. Seeing this, Liu Guoliang couldn't stop it, so he could only continue to pay attention to it from the sidelines.
After the score reached a 10-10 draw, the two had to exchange the ball after each served a ball, and it was Wang Hao's turn to serve first. His serve was close to Ye Hao's backhand position, but what Wang Hao didn't expect, or what he just discovered, was that Ye Hao had changed from holding the racket horizontally with his right hand to holding the racket horizontally with his left hand. At this time, the table tennis ball had become a forehand direction relative to him, Ye Hao swung the racket forward hard, and the table tennis ball was hit accurately.
Wang Hao was still surprised by the opponent's left hand hit, and before he could react, the table tennis ball had already fallen on the table on his side.
At 11:10, Ye Hao scored!
At this time, it was not only Wang Hao who was stunned, Liu Guoliang outside the court opened his mouth wide, Ma Lin and Wang Liqin inhaled directly, and Ma Long's eyes were wide in shock.
"When did this kid even practice such an exaggerated left-handed shot?" This was a question on the minds of everyone present, but now that the game is still going on, there is no opportunity for them to ask questions and solve their doubts.
Ye Hao was not complacent at this time, he didn't have much confidence in his left-hand strength. Because there is still a very big gap between being able to play with the left hand and a professional left-handed racket table tennis player, Ye Hao belongs to the former. If he is allowed to sneak a ball by surprise with his left hand, it may be possible, as it is now, but if he is allowed to play with his left hand continuously, this level is not guaranteed.
In the next ball, Ye Hao served, and now he can only serve with his left hand. is not a forehand position, nor a backhand position, on the serve at this game point, Ye Hao chose to sneak the long ball in the middle to chase him. Because he knows that his left hand, whether it is against Wang Hao's forehand or backhand, there is no advantage, only surprise and solve the battle as soon as possible is the king!
This serve really surprised Wang Hao, and he felt very awkward. First, he was still immersed in the surprise of Ye Hao's left-handed paddle game and failed to recover, and secondly, the opponent boldly attacked the long ball and chased the position, and it was difficult for him to deal with it without preparation. However, Wang Hao is already among the top table tennis players in the world, with quick reflexes and quick adjustments, and he barely returned the ball with a very weird and awkward move.
Ye Hao was not surprised to see that the opponent successfully caught the ball, and he didn't think that he could score directly by serving, so he prepared sideways early, and when the ball fell to his own table and had not rebounded to the highest point, he immediately swung the racket to attack quickly, the angle was very awkward, and it could even be said to be extremely harsh, almost sticking to the sideline and falling to the table, and it was only a millimeter away from the table. However, Ye Hao also has no way, in this situation, if he entangles with his opponent, he will definitely lose. Therefore, it can only be a dangerous move, fighting, and trying to settle the situation!
Wang Hao took a big step and wanted to fly to save the ball, but he was still a step too late. At 12:10, the second game ended, and Ye Hao won by surprise.
When Ye Hao won the last two balls with his left hand and won the second game, the expressions of everyone present were different. Ma Lin, Ma Long, Wang Liqin and other people watching the game were surprised and puzzled, Wang Hao on the court was surprised and annoyed, as for Liu Guoliang's expression was the strangest, sometimes showing a hint of excitement, and sometimes falling into contemplation.
The final game began quickly, and Wang Hao shook his arms, determined to win. If Ye Hao can win him with his left hand, then this joke will be a big one, and there will really be no place for him to save face.
Ye Hao's left-handed serve, for him, it is really a dilemma now. If you use your left hand to fight with an ordinary right-handed player, you must have a certain advantage, but you just ran into Wang Hao, a straight-shot player whose backhand is stronger than her forehand.
Now, Ye Hao can only fight with balls, and every ball is treated as the last ball to fight hard. However, fighting is a probabilistic event after all, and winning the last two points in the second game does not mean that Ye Hao's luck has always been so good.
In the first ball, Ye Hao grabbed the attack after serving, and after the first board was blocked, he didn't have time to continue the second board, Wang Hao's counterattack had arrived, and Ye Hao had no power to resist.
The score was 0:1, and Ye Hao was behind.
In the second ball, Ye Hao wanted to continue to adopt the tactics of serving and attacking, but before he could make any action first, Wang Hao took the first step to receive the serve and attack. Next, Ye Hao became a passive side, and his weak strength in playing with his left hand was vividly displayed. As soon as Wang Hao moved the two shots, Ye Hao immediately messed up, the quality of the ball was average, but now he didn't need the opponent to attack, he took the initiative to make a mistake to send points.
0:2, Ye Hao's two serves did not score a point.
0:3,
1:4,
2:7,
3:9,
4:11。
In the third game, Wang Hao easily won, Ye Hao couldn't resist it at all, and the game was finally lost. In fact, at the beginning of the third game, Ye Hao knew that his defeat was decided, and then he went into battle with a relaxed attitude, and Wang Hao was not aggressive after the victory was decided, so the scene of the game was not intense, but really seemed to be a sparring partner.
When the game was over, Ye Hao came to the sidelines, and the team doctor had arrived at Liu Guoliang's request. Ye Hao began to be examined, and finally found that his right wrist had been sprained, and then he dealt with it again. After the processing, Ye Hao greeted his former teammates and left with Liu Guoliang.
After they left, the rest of the people began to talk.
"I really didn't expect Ye Hao's right hand to be so fragile now, even the sparring partner can be injured."
"Yes, although his previous strength was not terrifying, at least it was very explosive, and now he doesn't dare to exert his strength. I didn't expect it to hurt as soon as I made a force. ”
"But I'm curious why he played so well with his left hand, and the last two balls of the second game were so beautiful!"
"I guess it's a blind cat who met a dead mouse, didn't you see that he was overwhelmed by Wang Hao in the third game, and he was defeated!"
"It's so easy to say, you have the ability to try one. Wang Hao is now the No. 3 in the team, ranking behind Ma Lin and Wang Liqin, and his strength is very strong. Do you think anyone can try their luck on his head and score points? ”
Although Wang Hao won Ye Hao at this time, there was no joy on his face, firstly, this was not an official game, secondly, Ye Hao had retired, not the strongest state, thirdly, he could have won more beautifully, and won the game in two games, but in the second game, he was pulled back by Ye Hao, and it was with his left hand!
Even more depressed than him is Ma Long, who thought that his strength had been greatly improved now that he had entered the first team, and his performance in this year's competition was indeed good, but he still lost to Ye Hao. This made Ma Long very dissatisfied with himself, and at the same time, he was also secretly determined to redouble his training efforts and regard Ye Hao as his goal.
