Chapter 180: Mixed Doubles Loses Championship

When the score of the fifth game reached 9:9, this mixed doubles final can be said to be the most critical moment. It happened that it was Ye Hao's turn to serve, and he planned to seize the attack with the advantage of serve, and then win the game in one fell swoop.

Ye Hao served and sent the ball to the direction of the opponent's backhand, a strong sidespin short ball. Wang Liqin received the serve, and in the face of this threatening serve, he did not sit still, but chose to attack directly. This is not a reasonable catch at all, but it gave Ye Hao's side a heavy blow.

Wang Liqin's sideways forehand attack made Xu Xiaoyuan, who was ready to return the ball next, suffer greatly, although he reluctantly touched the table tennis ball with his racket, but her chipping action did not have time to make it completely, and the ball was already gone.

The score became 10:9, and the Wang Liqin/Guo Yue combination got the game point in the fifth game. Next is still Ye Hao's service time, he firmly believes that the loss of points just now is just accidental, you can't blame Xu Xiaoyuan's strength is too weak to receive the opponent's attack, and you can't blame his serve for not being oppressive, if you want to blame Wang Liqin's attack quality is too high.

Therefore, this ball, Ye Hao still followed the idea of the previous ball, and sent out a short ball with strong downspin. However, Wang Liqin, who received the ball this time, dared to continue to fight desperately when his side had already taken the lead in the score and got the game point, and the same rush once again hit Xu Xiaoyuan, who was ready to receive the ball.

There was no suspense, Xu Xiaoyuan didn't even touch the ball this time, let alone successfully blocked the opponent's strong attack. At 11:9, relying on Wang Liqin's adventure of receiving serve twice in a row, the Chinese pair scored two points in a row, won the fifth game in one fell swoop, and led the opponent for the first time on the road to the championship in the mixed doubles final.

From leading the opponent 2:0 by a big score, to being tied by the score 2:2, and then being overtaken by the opponent 2:3, the road to winning the championship of the multinational combination has become narrower and narrower, and their pressure has become more and more great. If one side gains momentum, one side will inevitably lose momentum, and now Ye Hao/Xu Xiaoyuan is the losing side, if you can't wake up in time, then losing will be inevitable. To make matters worse, there wasn't much time left for the two to adjust, because the next game was a must-win game.

The game of the sixth game began, although during the break, Ye Hao once again encouraged Xu Xiaoyuan before the battle, but the huge pressure still made this little Korean beauty have a serious expression and frown. For Xu Xiaoyuan, this is the final of her first world-class competition, which is a manifestation of strength, a motivation to strive for the best performance, and an unspeakable pressure!

Therefore, Ye Hao has already estimated her current performance, and she has nothing to complain about, and she can't do anything. This is the competition, this is the moment that the athlete must experience, the phoenix nirvana, rebirth from the fire, nothing more!

Guo Yue served first, and the quality of her serve was good, so that Ye Hao, who received the serve, could not find too good offensive opportunities, but Ye Hao still took the lead in pulling up the curve ball. Wang Liqin faced Ye Hao's curved ball, of course, not to be outdone, after pulling the ball with a board, the rotation of the ball went to a higher level.

This can bring a lot of trouble to Xu Xiaoyuan, who is going to cut the ball next, the strength of the male table tennis players is much stronger than that of the female table tennis players, so it is even higher in the rotation control of the ball, not to mention Wang Liqin, the world's top table tennis player known as "vigorous". The curve ball he pulls out is quite high quality and has a lot of spin, which is a huge threat to Xu Xiaoyuan.

Sure enough, although Xu Xiaoyuan caught Wang Liqin's arc ball, the quality of the chipping ball was not guaranteed, and the table tennis ball flew high over the net and bounced high on the table again, which gave Guo Yue the opportunity to smash.

Guo Yue faced this landing point backwards, rebounded the opportunity ball with a suitable height, did not miss it, and decisively followed with a smash. Her style of play is originally masculine, although her strength is definitely slightly inferior to that of male athletes, but the speed and power of this smash still pose a great threat to Ye Hao.

Ye Hao is now in a dilemma, if he just takes the opponent's smash, he has a certain certainty. But considering that the next person on the other side to receive the ball is Wang Liqin, if the opponent can't be pressed enough so that the opponent can calmly launch an attack, then Xu Xiaoyuan will definitely not be able to resist Wang Liqin's onslaught, and finally lose points.

Therefore, Ye Hao decided to take a risk, he was not only limited to wanting to catch this smash, but also wanted to counterattack in defense and turn passive into active. Therefore, Ye Hao did not choose to put a high ball or unload the force to push the ball in these slightly passive ways of receiving the ball, but turned sideways to prepare a forehand to pull a backhand, so he specially took a few steps back, exchanging space for time, trying to complete the counterattack.

However, Ye Hao's adventure failed, although he successfully caught the ball and pulled the ball back across the net, but due to his excessive pursuit of the landing point, the table tennis ball deviated from the table, missing by a fraction of a centimeter.

1:0, Wang Liqin/Guo Yue scored a point with a beautiful attack in the first ball of the sixth game, which was a good start. In the next game, although Ye Hao and Xu Xiaoyuan tried to catch up, their opponents were not easy, and they always maintained perfect control of the game, bringing the advantage of the score to the end of the game.

2:0,

4:2,

6:5,

8:7,

9:8,

10:9,

The Chinese pair got the first match point of the match, the first mixed doubles championship point of this World Table Tennis Championships, and they were really only one goal away from victory, while Ye Hao/Xu Xiaoyuan were only a millimeter away from defeat.

Wang Liqin served, his serve was very secure, leaving no chance for Ye Hao. In this regard, Ye Hao was also powerless, so he had to pull the ball back step by step. The next Guo Yue became aggressive, maybe she knew that Xu Xiaoyuan was the weakest person in this game, so at this critical moment, she had to attack the weakest link.

Guo Yue quickly rushed forward to the arc circle, and the table tennis ball went straight to Xu Xiaoyuan, at this time it was already a matter of life and death, Xu Xiaoyuan only felt that his eyes were black, the soles of his feet were spinning, and suddenly a fast-spinning table tennis ball came to her. didn't have time to think for a moment, instinctively blocked the racket in front of him, only to hear the sound of "ping", Xu Xiaoyuan knew that the table tennis ball hit his racket.

Under the gaze of the four people on the field, in the exclamations of coaches, players, and spectators outside the court, the table tennis ball finally flew over the net, but it failed to get on the table, but flew directly to the ground!

11:9, Wang Liqin/Guo Yue won! The mixed doubles championship of the 49th World Table Tennis Championships belongs to them, and Ye Hao and Xu Xiaoyuan can only watch the crazy celebration of their opponents blankly, disappointed, unwilling, depressed, and all kinds of negative emotions come to their hearts......
