Chapter 137: The Battle of Revenge
After experiencing the ups and downs of the semi-finals, Ye Hao did not dare to be careless about the preparation for the finals, especially the inspection of the racket.
The men's singles final of the China Table Tennis Open Guangzhou Station was played against Ye Hao and Ma Lin. At the Kunshan China Table Tennis Open in June, Ye Hao fell under Ma Lin's photo, hated the semifinals, and missed the finals.
This time, Ye Hao encountered the other party again, and it was in the men's singles final, which can be described as a "narrow road", and when they met on a narrow road, of course he went with the goal of revenge.
This time in the Guangzhou Station of the China Table Tennis Open, the champions of the remaining three events have already been seen. The Women's Singles title was won by Zhang Yiling, the Men's Doubles title was won by Wang Liqin/Hao Shuai, and the Women's Doubles title was taken away by a multinational pair. Only the men's singles champion remains, but it has also been decided by the Chinese team.
Since the men's singles final is the civil war of the Chinese team, the coaches sit on the sidelines and watch the game leisurely with the other players, and there is no task of on-the-spot guidance. Head coach Liu Guoliang sat in his seat and chatted happily with the coaches and athletes in front of and around, very comfortable.
"Who do you think will win this game?"
"Marin, I guess."
"I think it's Ye Hao."
"It's hard to say, both of them are in good shape, and it depends on the performance."
……
With the discussion outside the court, the final officially began.
On the first ball, Marin received the serve and picked it sideways, and as soon as he came up, he began to fight and attack, he didn't plan to rub it at all, he wanted to kill with one blow!
This made Ye Hao, who had been gearing up and eager to try, feel very excited, and was preparing to take revenge, but he was afraid that Ma Lin would not be in good shape today and would not be challenged. But now he doesn't have to worry about this problem, the two of them are the heavenly thunder and the earth fire, and they want to go together.
In the first goal of the opening game, Ye Hao's whole heart was put on the game and the table, it was to attack Marin, his reaction was very fast, and he took advantage of the situation with his backhand, and did not let the opponent's fight score successfully, but directly hit the opponent's vacancy to counter-kill a board.
1:0, Ye Hao got a good start and the first point. Seeing this, Ma Lin had a little ominous premonition, that he was so well prepared and that the sudden attack had no effect, but was successfully counterattacked by Ye Hao.
In the second ball, Ye Hao continued to serve, and Marin continued to attack unbelievingly, rushing sideways with a forehand and rushing straight to Ye Hao's middle chasing position. However, what made Marin feel depressed was that Ye Hao was ready again, and waited sideways early, just waiting for the ball to come over, and immediately pulled a backboard and sent the ball back to his backhand position.
Marin's backhand is not at the top level, but it is also very strong. Although he can also shoot and shoot horizontally, his lethality is not as good as Wang Hao, but his one-handed push block is unique, and he can hit a few earth-shattering balls from time to time, and the combination of straight shot and horizontal hit and push block can play the effect of one plus one is greater than two.
However, this time, Marin's backhand was not ready, and a hurried push blocked the ball back to the net, but the ball landed later, giving Ye Hao a good chance to continue attacking.
"Bang!"
There was a heavy hitting sound, this was Ye Hao's backhand attacking Marin with another forehand, and this ball was successful.
At 2:0, Ye Hao converted all his two serves into points. As the first game progressed gradually, Ye Hao gradually occupied the initiative on the court.
3:1,
5:3,
7:5,
9:6,
11:8。
The difference of two or three points was maintained from the beginning to the end of the first game, and Ye Hao successfully took the lead, leading the total score 1:0.
The second game began, Marin served first, and this time it was Ye Hao's turn to start the serve attack. In this game, Ye Hao's hand felt very good, and the success rate of the attack was very high. After a few goals, he took the lead again, and the score was 6:4.
In the next ball, it was Marin's turn to serve, he glanced at the other side, and was secretly vigilant in his heart, Ye Hao's success in this game made him scruple because he had too many scrambles.
Turn, turn, turn, Marin's devil slalom serve is of high quality, which is his own trick in order to deal with Ye Hao's attack. You must know that the difficulty of this kind of serve is still very large, and if you are not careful, you will either fall into the net and make an active mistake, or the quality will not be as high as you imagined.
In the face of this menacing serve, Ye Hao did not choose to make a hard connection, but used his racket to cut a board heavily, and cut the ball back to the opposite table steadily.
Seeing this, Ma Lin was prepared, and his whole body rushed forward, and his right hand was quickly swung out, and the arc ball rushed forward with momentum, straight to the corner of Ye Hao's forehand!
At 5:6, Marin relied on a strong serve and high-quality attack after serving to get back a point, but he was still behind in the score.
The next ball was Marin's serve, and he repeated his old trick, using the advantage of his serve to successfully score another point and tie the score at 6:6.
Then in Ye Hao's two serves, Marin continued to be active in attack, and won again and again, overtaking the score. In the end, although Ye Hao took the lead at the beginning, he failed to resist Marin's counterattack, 9:11, and lost the second game. The two sides fought to a 1-1 draw in the first two games.
The men's singles final quickly entered the white-hot stage, and everyone in the Chinese table tennis team, who was originally casually watching the game outside the court, was also attracted by this wonderful matchup, and all turned their eyes to the two people in the court and the table in between.
In the third game, Ye Hao summed up the reasons for losing in the previous game, paid more attention to Marin's serve, protected his serve, and successfully won the first game, once again taking the lead in the total score, 2:1.
In the fourth game, feng shui took turns, Ma Lin was not hit by another backwardness, he continued to implement his own playing style and tactics, attached importance to the first three boards, and did not entangle with Ye Hao more, after all, his fighting style of play was very physically demanding. At 11:7, Marin also pulled back another game, and the total score was tied again, 2:2.
Ye Hao took the lead again and again, and then was tied by the opponent, which made his heart become a little impatient. After his comeback, he lost the most to Marin, and he was fully prepared for this final, hoping to get revenge. However, until now, the score between the two is still deadlocked, and the balance of victory is not on his side.
In the fifth game of the battle of Tianwang Mountain, Marin played steadily, his attack was full of threat, and he also maintained a certain success rate. On the contrary, due to the ups and downs of his state, Ye Hao did not exert all his strength.
At 11:6, Marin won a key game, successfully overtook the total score 3:2, and took the lead in the total score for the first time in the whole game!
