Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 105: Ryusakura Open Double Champion
The matchup schedule for the Ryuo Open men's singles quarterfinals is particularly interesting.

because.

It could almost be called a civil war in Xia.

Only Li Ying faced off against Tomoaki Furukawa.

The other three divisions are very exciting, with the Dragon, Phoenix and Turtle facing off against three world-class table tennis geniuses: Zhao Dongyuan, Qian Zhongtian and Sun Guanqing.

In this Ryuo Open, Zhao Dongyuan, Qian Zhongtian and Sun Guanqing, who are now the leading figures of the table tennis teams in Hong Kong, Macao and Formosa respectively, thoroughly demonstrated their extraordinary strength.

It can be said.

They truly realized their extraordinary talent in table tennis.

So much so that now they can go on par with the dragon, phoenix and turtle.

Li Ying was the last to fight.

The first to appear were Xu Guinian VS Sun Guanqing.

As the official coach of the national team, Chen Daqian naturally served as Xu Guinian's off-court coach.

Liang Long and Kong Fengge have already started warm-up training at the next table to keep their hands in shape.

Li Ying, sitting alone on the sidelines, watched Xu Guinian's game.

But in fact.

Li Ying has already simulated a match between Xu Guinian and Sun Guanqing in the fantasy space.

Li Ying could only say that Xu Guinian was in trouble.

Sun Guanqing's strength has greatly improved compared to the previous Yokohama World Table Tennis Championships and the Xiaguo Open.

Today, Sun Guanqing’s strength is no less than Xu Guinian’s.

and.

Sun Guanqing has done in-depth research on Xu Guinian.

But so far.

The main research objects of the Xiaguo national table tennis team are all foreign table tennis super stars, such as Thiem, Dimitri, Truus, Tomoaki Furukawa, etc.

For example, Zhao Dongyuan, Qian Zhongtian and Sun Guanqing are three leading table tennis figures, but the national table tennis coaching staff has not had time to study them!
Because there is very little video of their games.

and.

There is absolutely no point in studying game videos.

finally.

The game ended after Xu Guinian played five games.

Sun Guanqing swept them 4 to 1.

If Xu Guinian was swept away, it wouldn’t mean anything.

but.

Liang Long faces Qian Zhongtian.

same.

Defeated.

For a moment, even the media in Ryuying Country were exclaiming in surprise.

At last.

It's Kong Fengge versus Zhao Dongyuan.

But everyone thinks that Kong Fengge will never fail.

Kong Fengge lost to Zhao Dongyuan after a hard-fought seven-game battle.

The dragon, phoenix and turtle were all defeated.

then.

The Ryuying media, who like to give nicknames to table tennis players, immediately called the three table tennis geniuses Zhao Dongyuan, Qian Zhongtian and Sun Guanqing "elephants, lions and tigers".

This is obviously a benchmark against the national team's dragon and phoenix turtle.

As for the undefeated Qilin Li Ying, there is currently no Xia people who can challenge Li Ying.

Defeating Li Ying would be even more difficult.

All of a sudden.

Elephants, lions and tigers are unmatched in their splendor.

At this moment, Chen Daqian had no time to attend the meeting for the Dragon, Phoenix and Turtle.

because.

Li Ying's game is about to begin.

and.

The opponent is Tomoaki Furukawa, who is fighting on home soil.

No matter what, even if Tomoaki Furukawa was once a Xia citizen, he has now become a Ryuo citizen, which means he is a table tennis player of Ryuo.

That's the case.

Now that I've met Tomoaki Furukawa, there's only one word to describe it: do it.

Not to mention.

Before this, Tomoaki Furukawa was very rampant and provoked Li Ying.

of course.

Li Ying never remembers the barking of a loser.

Before the game.

Tomoaki Furukawa walked up to Li Ying again.

Li Ying said coldly: "Furukawa Tomoaki, I'm in a bad mood today. Don't mess with me, otherwise, the lesson of Ishii Yasuki will be your fate today!"

Hear this.

Tomoaki Furukawa, who was now full of confidence, simply refused to listen.

"Huh, do you think I'm Truth?"

Tomoaki Furukawa's current thoughts and ideas are exactly the same as Truss's before.

Even if he can't beat you, Li Ying, it's impossible for Li Ying to win 11 to 0 in four games.

after all.

Li Ying is just a human, not a god.

"Really? Let's wait and see!"

Li Ying said lightly.

now.

The dragon, phoenix and turtle were all defeated.

It can be said.

The Xia national table tennis team's previous plan for the unicorn, dragon, phoenix and turtle to meet in the semi-finals went bankrupt.

even.

If Li Ying was defeated, it would be a complete shame for the Xia national table tennis team.

after all.

Li Ying is the leader of the national table tennis team openly announced by the Xia country, and is the top player of the national team.

In other words, the captain of the national team has not yet been officially elected.

Otherwise, with Li Ying's current popularity and momentum, who else but Li Ying would be qualified to be the captain of the national team?

Tomoaki Furukawa doesn't believe in evil.

but.

After the game starts.

Tomoaki Furukawa was completely stunned.

because.

Li Ying crushed him in all aspects at this moment.

But in the end.

Li Ying still failed to shut out Tomoaki Furukawa in four games.

Because in the third and fourth innings, Tomoaki Furukawa fought hard and still got some points.

after all.

Tomoaki Furukawa's performance was almost so exciting that it made his blood boil.

but.

Although he did not suffer four zero goals, he was swept out by Li Ying with a score of 4-0.

In this case.

Tomoaki Furukawa was eliminated from the semi-finals of the Ryuo Open.

As for the top four, they are Li Ying and Xiang Shihu.

Seeing Li Ying at this moment, the dragon, phoenix and turtle lowered their heads in shame.

because.

They failed to defend their own division, and now all the pressure of the game was put on Li Ying.

"It's okay, know your shame and then be brave. I don't want you dragons, phoenixes, and turtles to be defeated even by the local provincial team."

Li Ying didn't say much, because the dragon, phoenix and turtle were no less capable than the elephant, lion and tiger in terms of skills, talent and hard work.

This time.

It was just a carelessness that caused the car to fail.

If they encounter elephants, lions and tigers again in the future, Li Ying believes that whether it is Kong Fengge, Liang Long or Xu Guinian, they will be on high alert.

Men's doubles final.

Li Ying and Liang Long joined forces with Kong Fengge and Xu Guinian.

In this case, the Dragon and Phoenix Tortoises have not been completely eliminated.

finally.

The men's singles semi-finals begin.

Li Ying versus Qian Zhongtian.

In the other half of the group, it is Zhao Dongyuan VS Sun Guanqing.

"Brother Qian, how come these three suddenly appeared? There seemed to be no news about them before. Otherwise, with their talents, they should have joined the national team long ago!" Li Ying asked in confusion.

"Strictly speaking, they are early college entrance examination immigrants. They went to Hong Kong, Macao and even Taiwan to study early. These three places have developed economies and naturally good education. Then they gradually emerged and eventually stood out as table tennis players, and then chose to join the table tennis teams in the three places."

Chen Daqian smiled.

For Li Ying, the unexpected rise of the lions and tigers was purely due to the changes in time and space caused by the arrival of him, a time and space butterfly, on Blue Star.

Because Li Ying had never heard of it in his previous life.

"This is quite interesting. Players from the local provincial team defeated the main players of the national table tennis team."

Li Ying smiled.

"A Ying, don't let your guard down. Even though they don't have a great reputation yet, their strength should not be underestimated. I even think that with their strength, they have surpassed Meng Li and Ma Qing."

Chen Daqian smiled.

"If Mengge and Ma Ge heard what you said, they would probably be sad and disappointed!" Li Ying joked.

"It doesn't matter. It's better for one family to cry than for all to cry."

Chen Daqian smiled.

Game start.

Qian Zhongtian demonstrated extraordinary talent and strength in table tennis.

But in Li Ying's opinion, he still seems very immature at the moment.

In order to understand his opponent better, Li Ying did not go all out.

In the end, they chose to defeat Qian Zhongtian 4 to 2.

And the other side.

Zhao Dongyuan and Sun Guanqing fought hard for seven games, and in the end Zhao Dongyuan had the last laugh.

but.

At this moment, everyone is paying attention to the civil war between the unicorn, dragon, phoenix and turtle!

The two pairs of men's doubles from Xia Country are having a crazy battle in Ryuying Country!

Li wins after the match.

He cursed Kong Fengge and Xu Guinian.

"What's the matter? You were swept away by outsiders, so you take it out on your own people?"

Today, Kong Fengge and Xu Guinian can be said to have burned themselves out.

Although they were eventually defeated by Li Ying and Liang Long 15-13 in the deciding game, Kong Fengge and Xu Guinian had previously held the match point.

But in the end, they didn't seize the opportunity!
Men's doubles competition.

Li Ying still maintains his undefeated record.

Men's singles.

In order to show the glory of Xiaguo's national table tennis team.

Li Ying directly chose to burn fat, and finally, he quickly defeated Zhao Dongyuan.

In this case.

The so-called elephants, lions and tigers looked like a complete joke in front of Li Ying.

Li Ying returned to Xia Kingdom with the men's singles and men's doubles championships.

When leaving.

There were tens of thousands of fans from Ryuoku who saw him off at the airport.

This simply makes the media of Ryuying country feel ashamed.

Li Ying returns to the Magic City.

Because for the next period of time.

Although the International Table Tennis Federation still has a tour, Li Ying will not participate in open tournaments such as the Monaco Open.

even.

Neither the dragon, phoenix, or turtle signed up.

And at this moment.

In the country of Xia.

The Table Tennis Super League is in full swing.

after all.

The Table Tennis Super League brings together the largest number of table tennis superstars in the world today.

Nowadays, especially with the return of unicorns, dragons, phoenixes and turtles to China to participate in the competition, the popularity of the Table Tennis Super League has been pushed even higher.

Modu International Airport.

Magic City Crown Paradise naturally sent a car to welcome Chen Daqian, Li Ying and Xu Guinian.

Return to the training base at Crown Paradise in Magic City.

Without taking time to rest, he immediately started training.

Because a new round of the Table Tennis Super League is about to begin.

It's non-stop and there's not much time to rest.

"Brother Qian, there haven't been many games recently, you should rest more!"

After being tired from training, Li Ying complained to Chen Daqian.

"You rest, but others don't."

Chen Daqian disagreed at all.

"Does it really have to be so tiring?"

Li Ying felt that it was too early for Chen Daqian to start preparing for the National Games.

"In August, there will be another open tournament held in Jincheng, in the north. Compared to the previous Suzhou Open, the real Xiaguo Open should be the one in Jincheng."

"Then, there will be the National Games in October. Moreover, in order to make way for the World Cup, the National Games for table tennis will start early!"

"After the National Games, it's the World Cup."

"This year, there are also the World Cup Team Competition and the Asian Championships. Of course, there will be the ITTF World Tour Finals at the end of the year. If I don't train much now, the competitions in the future will be too tight and intensive, and I won't have much time for systematic training!"

Chen Daqian hardened his heart.

The World Cup is particularly crucial for Li Ying.

after all.

If we win the World Cup, it would be equivalent to winning two of the three major tournaments.

In this case.

Waiting for the 2012 London Olympics.

The road to the Grand Slam is right in front of you.

How could Chen Daqian allow Li Ying to rest?

"Brother Qian, you..."

Li Ying was completely speechless.

But training is training.

At least, there is still an unlucky guy to accompany me.

"Brother Qian, I have no objection to you bringing Li Ying to train, but why do you want me to follow you throughout the whole process?"

Xu Guinian couldn't figure it out.

"Why? Do you think you are very strong now?"

Chen Daqian's rhetorical question left Xu Guinian speechless.

no way.

Xu Guinian accompanied Li Ying in training.

then.

Xu Guinian soon couldn't stand it anymore.

"Brother Qian, are you sure you want Ah Ying to do such basic training?"

Xu Guinian feels that even if children aged five or six practice table tennis skills, their training level is higher than that of Li Ying today.

"These are the basic skills of table tennis."

Chen Daqian said lightly.

The Table Tennis Super League is in full swing, and the focus of news media attention is always changing.

After training every day.

The only time Li Ying felt happy was when he was chatting with Wang Xianlan.

“I have such a hard day!”

Wang Xianlan likes to hear this beginning very much.

because.

She has also been forced to train by Hou Bingguang recently.

now.

With Li Ying training hard, even though they were not together, Wang Xianlan felt like they were suffering together.

“Xiaoying, come on!”

At the end of the conversation, this is all Wang Xianlan could say.

Because Wang Xianlan is now far away in Guangzhou.

Li Ying is in Shanghai.

The first phase of the Table Tennis Super League consists of nine home games and nine away games.

In this case.

Li Ying had no choice but to stay in Shanghai.

Time always flies by.

The Table Tennis Super League continues round by round.

The sport of table tennis has been promoted more and more popular.

This makes the International Table Tennis Federation very envious.

It turns out that table tennis matches are not impossible to make a profit.

It may not be as good as the NBA or the Champions League in the end, but at least it is profitable to host the competition.

The popularity of the Table Tennis Super League has made the younger generation of national table tennis players increasingly popular stars.

after all.

In terms of popularity, they are comparable to celebrities in the entertainment industry.

As for Li Ying's popularity, it is unique.

Second.

It’s Wang Xianlan!
As table tennis becomes more and more popular.

The pinnacle of beauty in the national table tennis team, the cold and aloof goddess Wang Xianlan, is simply out of the circle. No matter in appearance or figure, Wang Xianlan is in no way inferior to a female star.

As for her temperament, she is far better than those female stars.

This led to many fans liking Wang Xianlan.

The same is true.

The number of Li Ying's female fans is also increasing at a terrifying rate every day.

Li Ying has completely surpassed the so-called top stars in the entertainment industry.

He truly became a national idol.

after all.

Li Ying, who has never lost a game so far, is worthy of the admiration of young fans.

Moreover, Li Ying's playing style is particularly attractive to fans.

This has led to a further increase in Li Ying's commercial value.

And currently.

Li Ying does not have any commercial endorsements.

Every time I go to an away game.

Those are all Li Ying’s home courts.

"Aying, your popularity is simply unrivaled!"

Looking at the huge crowds of Li Ying fans in the away stadium, Xu Guinian said with great envy.

after all.

His fans are mainly concentrated in Shanghai.

Currently.

It is not particularly well-known yet.

"None of this is important, winning the game is important."

Li Ying smiled.

Li Ying never cared about popularity.
