Although the selection competition within the team is not an official competition, a coach is arranged to act as a referee and scorekeeper. The two matches in the morning were Ye Hao/Ma Long VS Ma Lin/Chen Qi, and Wang Liqin/Yan Sen VS Kong Linghui/Wang Hao.

Before the start of the game, Ye Hao shook hands with Ma Long and found that the opponent's palms were already sweaty.

"Brother Long, don't be nervous, the two on the other side are defeated by my men, so don't be afraid." Ye Hao deliberately made a joke, wanting to appease Ma Long's emotions.

When Ma Long heard this, he smiled bitterly, "It's the first time I've fought against a world champion, unlike you." ”

"Wrong, your first time has already been given to me, haven't we both competed, have you forgotten?" Ye Haolu winked at Ma Long.

"Cut!" Ma Long heard Ye Hao's nonsense, and then looked at his resentful little eyes, and unconsciously smiled, and his nervous emotions were swept away.

At the beginning of the game, Marin served first, and Ye Hao twisted his backhand and hit the ball to the right side of the table. As a result, Chen Qi, who held the racket in his left hand, directly pulled the forehand sideways and sent the ball diagonally to the opposite corner. Ye Hao didn't have time to get out of the way, the ball had already arrived in front of him, and Ma Long could only watch the ball hit Ye Hao, and he couldn't start.

At 1:0, Marin/Chen Qi took the lead.

In the following time, doubles newcomers Ye Hao/Ma Long were taught a good lesson by the big brothers. In the face of the tacit understanding and sharp attack, the Ye and Ma combination lost points one after another, and finally lost the first game with a score of 5:11.

In the next second game, the firepower of the Ma and Chen combination continued to exert their power, especially Chen Qi was completely crazy, and he kept roaring fiercely on the court. Ye Hao/Ma Long were suppressed and breathless, and the score was always behind, from 0:3, to 4:8, until 6:11 to lose the second game.

Looking at the situation of falling behind 0:2 in the total score, Ye Hao did not return to the relaxed appearance before he played, and now he knows the difference between doubles and singles. The singles competition is a personal stage, if you fall behind, even if it is a desperate situation, you can rely on your own strength to help the building fall and turn the tide in the fall. However, in the men's doubles competition, as long as one person does not play well, or the cooperation between the two is not tacit, and the effect of one plus one is greater than two, then if you want to win and turn the tables, it can only be a fool's dream.

This is the situation that Ye Hao and Ma Long are encountering now, and it is the effect of one plus one less than two. The offense and defense are completely controlled by the opponent, so it's strange not to lose the game.

"We've got to figure out a way, and if we continue like this, we're going to lose." Ma Long looked at Ye Hao a little anxiously.

Of course, Ye Hao knew that he had to make changes, otherwise they wouldn't be able to win a single game, and they would be shaved by their opponents. "In this way, we do a division of labor. You stand on the right side of the middle and are mainly responsible for attacking. I took a position to the left and used my backhand to the advantage to avoid them sneaking up on our backhand. ”

In the third game, Ye Hao and Ma Long continued to run in with the change of tactics, and the situation on the court improved significantly. Ma Long's strength is in his forehand, and his stance on the right side allows him to play to his strengths. And Ye Hao's strength on the backhand is much stronger than Ma Long, and the effect of guarding the left side of the table is also very good. In the end, Ye Hao/Ma Long won the game 11:8 and pulled the total score to 1:2.

Ye Hao and Ma Long, who won a game, were more confident, and they fought with Ma Lin/Chen Qi in the fourth game. The score went from 4:3 to 6:7 until it was tied at 9:9, and the game reached the key score, the key goal.

At this time, Ma Lin served and stole a forehand long ball, and Ma Long hurriedly returned the ball to give Chen Qi a chance, and a board was violently buckled to Ye Hao. Ye Hao could only reluctantly put a high ball, and then Ma Lin smashed it with a force, Ma Long was powerless to return to the sky, and the ball was lost.

At 10:9, Marin/Chen Qi got the match point.

Marin continued to serve, and this time instead of sneaking up on the long ball, he served a short underspin ball with side spin. Ma Long chose to cautiously rub back a board, but Chen Qi deserved to be known as Chen Daring, he directly forcibly launched, a board of violent picking, tricky points, and enough strength. Although Ye Hao reacted, the racket touched the ball, but he still did not save the ball, and the ping pong ball flew away.

At 11:9, Ma Lin/Chen Qi won the fourth game, winning with a total score of 3:1. Ye Hao/Ma Long swallowed the first loss.

Ma Long, who lost the game, frowned and looked depressed. Seeing this, Ye Hao had to stand up and encourage the other party, "Although we lost the first game, we still have two more games, as long as we win all of them, we can also qualify for the Greek Open." Are you going to give up now? ”

"Of course not!"

"Then let's find a place, analyze this game, sum up experience, and strive to win back the afternoon game!"

……

In the afternoon, Ye Hao/Ma Long's second opponent was Wang Liqin/Yan Sen, and the opponent also lost the first game in the morning, so both sides were determined to win this game in the afternoon.

After the start of the game, Ye Hao and Ma Long continued to adopt the strategy of the third game of the morning game, with Ma Long attacking and Ye Hao defending. However, one thing is different, based on the characteristics of their opponents in this game, they decided to put more firepower on Yan Sen. Because in terms of strength, Yan Sen is the weak link between the two, and now he is injured. Take advantage of your illness and kill you, and there is no room for sympathy in competitive sports.

Facts have proved that Ye Hao's tactics are very successful, and they caught their opponents off guard at the beginning of the first game. The start of 5:1 surprised Liu Guoliang, who was watching the game from the sidelines. After all, these two were still a little immature in the morning game with Marin/Chen Qi, and they were reborn in half a day, and they looked like they had greatly increased their strength. The score advantage in the first game was guarded by Ye Hao/Ma Long to the end, 11:6, and the two took the lead.

Taking advantage of the victory to chase and beat the water dogs, it is Ye Hao/Ma Long's favorite thing to do, in the morning they were cleaned up by Ma Lin/Chen Qi, but in the afternoon, it was their turn to clean up their opponents. After leading 7:4, although the opponent chased three points in a row to tie the score again, but in the next few goals, Yan Sen was targeted again. All the shells were fired at him, and when it was his turn to catch the ball, it was either a violent dunk or a rush, in short, he was not allowed to receive the ball comfortably. As a result, after a small climax of 4:0, the second game ended. Ye Hao/Ma Long is in the next city, and the dawn of victory is already ahead.

However, although the Olympic champion combination is no longer majestic, it is still imposing. In the third game, Wang Liqin and Yan Sen changed their tactics in a targeted manner, turning the main object of attack into Ma Long, and Ma Long was also treated by the protagonist for a while, but he couldn't say anything about his suffering, and he was suppressed and made mistakes again and again. In the end, at 7:11, Ye Hao/Ma Long lost the third game. The aggregate score was 1:2.

Ye Hao/Ma Long, who lost a game, calmed down and was no longer carried away by the victory. They played steadily, continuing the tactics of winning the first two games, attacking the weakest link of the opposing pair, Yan Sen. Ma Long and Ye Hao took turns to launch a fierce attack on Yan Sen, constantly turning sideways and fighting, shattering the opponent's cooperation.

In the end, at 11:7, Ye Hao/Ma Long won the fourth game, won the game, and took their fate into their own hands. As long as they can win one more game in the evening, then the two are in sight of qualifying.
