Chapter 143: The Great Crisis

Wang Hao, who was selected for the national second team in 1998, was promoted to the national first team in 2000, and then quickly occupied the main position. If it weren't for Ye Hao's birth, Wang Hao would have a place in the 2004 Athens Olympics.

However, there are not so many ifs in the world, and so far, Wang Hao has not won any of the singles championships in the three major table tennis competitions. In fact, even in his previous life, Wang Hao's trajectory was similar to today, and he has not won a championship in the World Series so far.

Some media even said that Wang Hao suffered from "fear of finals" and labeled him the "second millennium". However, also due to the influence of Ye Hao, Wang Hao was severely suppressed in this life, and he was not able to participate in the Athens Olympics, let alone lose to Liu Chengmin in the final.

Of course, to a certain extent, Ye Hao "helped" Wang Hao to alleviate the call of the "second millennium", because Wang Hao had fewer chances to enter the finals of the competition. However, Wang Hao will definitely not thank Ye Hao for this.

Every World Series, for Wang Hao, is an opportunity to prove himself again and again, only by seizing the opportunity and proving his strength, he may be selected into the squad of the Capital Olympics. Of course, this World Cup is no exception, and with the approach of the Olympic Games in the capital, this sense of urgency is becoming greater and greater for Wang Hao.

The competition began, and Wang Hao's journey of proof began.

In the first game, Wang Hao came up and started the ultimate outbreak mode, regardless of his physical strength, and his attempt to preemptively strike was clearly revealed. In the face of this stormy attack, what Ye Hao can do is block and block, and defend again.

1:0,

2:1,

4:2,

6:4,

7:5,

Wang Hao maintained the lead and came to the moment of wiping sweat between the games, and five seconds later, the two returned to the table again, and it was Ye Hao's turn to serve.

Ye Hao sent a forehand short ball in the middle of the table, and now his situation is very embarrassing, the opponent's forehand and backhand are now in a state of play, it is difficult to restrain it, and there are no obvious shortcomings at all. All Ye Hao could do was to persevere, and then persevere, until Wang Hao's state deteriorated and his hand felt cold.

Wang Hao faced Ye Hao's serve, didn't think about it, turned his forehand directly sideways, and pulled the ball over the table. After Ye Hao pulled the table tennis ball back, Wang Hao hit a backhand straight shot again. After five or six rounds of transfer, Ye Hao was already far away from the table, and then Wang Hao changed the line, and Ye Hao couldn't resist it in the end.

At 8:5, Wang Hao extended his lead.

Ye Hao then continued to serve, a short ball in the forehand position, Wang Hao received the serve and attacked directly with a backhand. Then the game fell into Wang Hao's offensive storm.

9:5,

10:6,

At 11:6, Wang Hao easily won the first game.

At the beginning of the second game, Wang Hao was still strong, with a forehand sideways arc ball, a backhand straight shot, and a double cannon fired together, and the lethality was very terrifying. Ye Hao rarely became a small boat swaying in the wind and rain during the game, and the situation was critical.

0:2,

3:6,

5:9,

Gradually, Ye Hao fell into the strange circle of falling behind, and there were quite a lot of backward scores, and it seemed impossible to catch up with the opponent in such a good state.

Ye Hao looked at the score, and had a bad premonition in his heart, did he want to fall behind in two games and keep chasing the score? The subsequent facts told Ye Hao that it was indeed so!

At 6:11, Ye Hao was forced to lose another game, and Wang Hao led 2:0 in total.

Ye Hao, who was in the crisis of falling behind, decided to turn on the counterattack mode, and at the beginning of the third game, he immediately increased the number of fights.

On the first ball, Ye Hao served by himself, and after Wang Hao took the initiative to pull the ball sideways with a forehand, he immediately rushed sideways to a board! Score! 1:0。

The second ball, Ye Hao served, and Wang Hao received the ball with a backhand straight shot this time. Ye Hao continued to start the strong attack mode, twisted and pulled the backhand vigorously, changed the ball line, and sent it to the opponent's forehand position. The speed and strength made the ball more threatening, Wang Hao did not receive it, 2:0.

In the third game, Ye Hao finally took the lead in the opening stage, which seemed to indicate that the situation was improving.

However, in the next game, the situation exceeded Ye Hao's expectations. Although he strengthened his attack in this game, his turnover rate also increased significantly. If the strong attack of the first two goals was lucky, then in the later games, Ye Hao's luck was really not good.

Fight three goals, at least two of which will be missed, and the remaining ball may be counter-killed by the opponent. I have to say that the backwardness in the big score made Ye Hao's mood become anxious, so that his true level was not fully played. Moreover, in today's game, Wang Hao's condition is indeed quite good, and his desire for victory is also very strong.

In the next game of the third game, Wang Hao was brave and strategic, steady and steady, and the two games in hand did not mess up because of Ye Hao's fighting, on the contrary, he was very calm and calm.

In the case of falling behind 0-2, Wang Hao first scored consecutive points on his serve and successfully equalized the score. Then, in Ye Hao's service score, Wang Hao made great achievements, breaking two serves in a row, and overtaking the score to 4:2 in one fell swoop.

After Wang Hao took the lead, the game entered his mode again, and Ye Hao became a bitter master who fell into the swamp and couldn't move, losing all the way! Lose! Lose!

8:11, Ye Hao still lost in the third game, and the big score was 0:3 behind, which can be said to be a very bad situation!

At the beginning of the fourth game, Ye Hao's situation did not improve in the slightest, he was still walking on thin ice, and the backwardness of the score was unacceptable.

0:1,

0:2,

1:3,

2:5,

2:6,

In this game, Ye Hao was a quarter behind, and the first big crisis of his game came. Fortunately, at this time, Ye Hao withstood the pressure, fought successfully again and again, and gradually chased the score back.

3:6,

4:6,

5:7,

7:8,

9:9,

The score was finally tied once again, and the situation had developed to the most critical moment. Wang Hao served, he sent a forehand topspin half-billiards, a very bold choice, he knew that Ye Hao was fighting at this time, he was going to attack, or he sent an opportunity ball to "seduce" Ye Hao.

Ye Hao didn't think much about it, even if a trace of thought flashed in his mind for a moment, this was Wang Hao doing the game, and he still had a back hand waiting for him. In the end, Ye Hao still chose to attack, he fought directly with his forehand and rushed to the board.

Wang Hao deserved to have made full preparations, otherwise he would not have dared to send a topspin ball on the key score, and he would have half staged. His backhand was already waiting there early, and as soon as Ye Hao's return ball came, Wang Hao immediately threw off his arms, swung the racket out, and hit the ping pong ball with an earth-shattering backhand force!

The ping-pong ball that was hit was like a speeding cannonball, smashing into the table in front of Ye Hao!

At 10:9, Wang Hao got the match point for this semi-final! Ye Hao's big crisis is coming!
