Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 114: Li Ying, the two-time gold medal winner of the National Games, and Meng Li, who does not want to become the 'King of Sanya'
Wang Xianlan was very happy.

"Xiaoying, starting tomorrow, I will be playing with you. The mixed doubles competition is about to begin. I'm very excited just thinking about it."

Wang Xianlan said with a smile.

"Then weren't you worried before that we had never practiced together?"

Li Ying smiled.

"That's fine. We're sure to win this mixed doubles match anyway."

Of course, in the case of mixed doubles, there are many pairs.

Because players like Meng Li, Kong Fengge, Liang Long, Xu Guinian and others have all signed up for the mixed doubles competition.

all of these.

This is all because the setting of the table tennis event in the National Games is interesting.

First, focus on the team competition.

Then came the doubles match.

Finally, the singles match.

In this case.

Even if you sign up for mixed doubles or men's doubles, it will not affect the subsequent singles competition at all.

In that case, it’s the stage of the National Games, and everyone wants exposure and everyone wants to be more famous.

if not.

In this era when Li Ying has completely monopolized the championship in major competitions, if you don't participate in the competition, you will be like Ma Qing, who has fallen from being one of the three major players in the national team to being an ordinary member of the first team.

"That's right, as long as we are united as husband and wife, we can achieve great things!"

Li Ying smiled.

This sentence made Wang Xianlan extremely shy.

"Humph, who is your spouse? Shame on you!"

Wang Xianlan said proudly.

At this moment.

Li Ying could imagine that Wang Xianlan, lying on the bed, must have a cute and naive expression on her face.

"Isn't this going to happen sooner or later?"

Li Ying continued to speak shamelessly.

"Humph!"

Wang Xianlan is even more arrogant.

"I won't tell you anymore."

Wang Xianlan hung up the phone shyly.

Then I touched my face and it was burning hot.

9 month 29 number.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the first round of mixed doubles began.

There are not many combinations signing up for the mixed doubles.

After two rounds of mixed doubles, we reached the mixed doubles semi-finals.

In other words.

There are only 16 pairs in the mixed doubles competition.

This is also normal.

because.

Although table tennis is now a national sport, not every province can participate.

Because some provinces in the northwest don’t have any provincial table tennis teams at all.

Because of the high altitude, normal table tennis training is impossible.

Because the speed of table tennis ball is much faster than in plains, especially in the southeastern provinces with lower altitudes.

and so.

In the sport of table tennis, several provinces did not form a team to participate in the competition.

after all.

Even if we want to form a team, we must invite foreign aid, in other words, invite table tennis players from other provinces to join the provincial team.

Then there is absolutely no need for this.

The mixed doubles competition begins.

For the combination of Li Ying/Wang Xianlan, there is no doubt that the off-court coach is the Lingnan team's head coach Meng Enming.

After two rounds of mixed doubles competition.

finally.

The mixed doubles semi-finalists have just been decided.

Li Ying/Wang Xianlan combination!
Kong Fengge's group.

Monri's combination.

Xu Guinian's group.

Among them, Kong Fengge's combination is an old combination that participated in the mixed doubles competition of the World Table Tennis Championships this year, and they have a tacit understanding in cooperation.

Then, Monli also found a veteran of the women's team, and the overall strength should not be underestimated.

As for Xu Guinian, he is almost an innate doubles saint. Even if he is paired in mixed doubles, he is still the best in doubles.

In the mixed doubles semi-finals, Li Ying/Wang Xianlan will face the combination of Kong Fengge.

The semi-finals in the other half of the zone will be a showdown between Mengli and Xu Guinian.

but.

Wang Xianlan needs to focus her attention on the women's singles immediately.

Because the first round of women's singles competition started at 14: p.m.

As for Li Ying, he practiced a little with Ma Qing because the first round of men's doubles started at 14:45 in the afternoon.

At 19: in the evening, the first round of men's singles will begin.

At 8:30 in the evening, it is the second round of men's singles.

It can be said.

If Li wins today, he will have to play five games.

of course.

This is no big deal considering Li Ying's physical strength.

In the first round of men's doubles, based on the strength of Li Ying and Ma Qing, they passed the test easily.

after all.

There are men's doubles combinations that can compete with Li Ying/Ma Qing in the men's doubles competition of this National Games, but it is impossible for them to meet in the first round.

In the evening's men's singles, the first and second rounds were also easy for Li Ying.

after all.

Other table tennis players may still have the possibility of failure.

Because in every National Games, there will be many dark horses in the table tennis competition.

However, Li Ying's strength is constant and strong, and it is impossible for him to fail.

that's it.

The time comes on June 9th.

At 9 am, the mixed doubles semi-finals began.

Li Ying fought Kong Fengge again.

but.

In this mixed doubles match, Kong Fengge was able to compete on par with Li Ying, but Kong Fengge's partner was no match for Wang Xianlan.

In that case.

Li Ying and Wang Xianlan cooperated perfectly and did not give Kong Fengge any chance at all.

He directly shut out his opponent and swept Kong Fengge out of the game.

After losing the mixed doubles semi-finals, Kong Fengge did not feel any strong resentment.

Because there is a huge gap in strength between them.

Instead, Kong Fengge could only turn around and comfort the female team members.

The mixed doubles final will be held in the evening.

Li Ying worked non-stop with Ma Qing to start the second round of men's doubles.

They both easily shut out their opponents.

then.

It’s the third round of men’s singles.

Li Ying also shut out his opponent.

In this case.

Li Ying continued to display his invincible and terrifying aura, making the name of the Undefeated Kirin spread throughout every inch of land in the nine continents of the Xia Kingdom.

The name of Li Ying is now very popular in all parts of Xia Country.

Because Li Ying's phenomenal undefeated record is simply too scary.

Under such circumstances, Li Ying naturally became a national idol.

Even though he is just a sports star, Li Ying's influence has gradually spread from the sports world to all walks of life and all industries. In the Xia Kingdom, Li Ying is famous everywhere, and the people of the Xia Kingdom are all familiar with the name Li Ying.

8:30 pm!
The mixed doubles final begins.

Li Ying looked at his opponent.

"Brother Meng, I didn't expect that my opponent in the final would be you. It's really because Brother Xu was not good enough that you guys actually made a super comeback!"

Li Ying initially thought that his main opponent in the mixed doubles final would be Xu Guinian.

but.

Monli led the team to a stunning reversal.

"Aying, I must defeat you today!"

Mengli felt that his condition at this moment was better than ever.

Then.

Li Ying suffered his first defeat today.

Li Ying's undefeated streak is about to be broken.

Although it is a bit cruel, this is what every main player of the national table tennis team dreams of doing.

"Okay, I look forward to your performance, Brother Meng!"

Li Ying no longer cared about this scene.

Because now, not only Xia Guo, but also the table tennis superstars around the world are studying him and trying to find ways to defeat him.

Li Ying accepts challenges from any table tennis superstar.

Dreams are often beautiful.

but.

The reality is very cruel.

Neither Li Ying nor Meng Li expected that Wang Xianlan would suddenly become so powerful.

Wang Xianlan displayed very superb close-to-table quick attack, which even Mengli could not defend against.

then.

Before Li Ying could even start to exert his strength, the Monli combination was defeated.

After the game.

Li Ying laughed and said, "Brother Meng, how come I didn't see you get mad during the whole game?"

Mengli's brows were full of dark lines.

"Aying, you really are a 'dog who takes advantage of others' power.'"

Mengli felt that Li Ying was very mean at this moment.

Li Ying: “???”

But no matter what.

Li Ying won the second gold medal of this National Games.

Both the men's team and mixed doubles gold medals have been won.

Li Ying's next matches are men's doubles and men's singles.

And Monri's words.

He was also touted by the media as the double runner-up.

Because of this National Games, Mengli won two more silver medals.

Silver medal in men's team and silver medal in mixed doubles.

at this time.

Mengli suddenly thought of a question.

Could it be that even if he made it to the end of the men's doubles competition, he would get a silver medal?

When Meng Li thought of this scene, he didn't dare to think about it any further.

Wang Xianlan was particularly happy to win the mixed doubles final.

This mixed doubles gold medal is more valuable than last year's national championship mixed doubles gold medal.

Wang Xianlan was reluctant to leave the mixed doubles competition.

"Xiaoying, why is it that among so many table tennis competitions, only a few have mixed doubles events?"

Wang Xianlan's words were full of resentment towards the International Table Tennis Federation.

In Wang Xianlan's understanding, the International Table Tennis Federation should set up more mixed doubles competitions.

"My sister Lan, just be content!"

Li Ying was speechless.

On the way back to the National Games Village, Li Ying met the Magic City team.

"Brother Qian!"

Li Ying naturally hurried over to greet Chen Daqian.

"A Ying, you are awesome, give me some relief!"

Xu Guinian still can't forget the crazy reversal he suffered at the hands of Mengli in the mixed doubles semi-finals.

When mentioning this matter, Chen Daqian became furious.

"How dare you talk about this?" Chen Daqian said indignantly.

After all, if this kind of huge reversal happened to someone else, it would just be seen as a joke.

But if it happens to you, it would be a very sour feeling.

Xu Guinian was very disappointed.

"It's okay, I'll help you get revenge." Li Ying said with a smile.

After returning to the National Games Village and playing several games a day, Li Ying still felt a little tired, and since he had nothing else to do, he naturally fell asleep.

Deep sleep, start.

Meng Enming watched Li Ying fall asleep quickly in the bed next to him, so he walked over and gently covered Li Ying with the quilt.

The look in Meng Enming's eyes was like that of an old father looking at his proud son, his face was full of satisfaction.

Because Li Ying was so competitive, Meng Enming almost walked sideways in the National Games Village these days.

The coaches of other provincial teams were all extremely envious and jealous.

and so.

Meng Enming has been living a particularly comfortable life these days.

These days are so beautiful.

10 month 1 day.

It is the National Day of Xia Country.

but.

Li Ying and his friends didn’t even have the chance to celebrate national holidays!

Nine o'clock in the morning!

The men's doubles semi-finals begin.

No. 1 seed Li Ying/Ma Qing.

Second seed Meng Li/Kong Fengge.

No. 3 seeds Liang Long/Yan An.

Fourth seeds Xu Guinian/Nie Runhua.

In the men's doubles match, the number one seed will face the number four seed.

The second seeded team faced off against the third seeded team.

In this case.

Li Ying/Ma Qing will soon face the Shanghai men's doubles team led by Xu Guinian.

This is Lingnan vs. the Demon City.

"Alas, it's a pity that Brother Qian is the head coach and can't participate in the competition. Otherwise, if Brother Qian and I cooperated, it would be easy to defeat you!"

Before the game started, Xu Guinian staggered in front of Li Ying and Ma Qing and made some harsh remarks.

"Having said that, even the two of you are no match for us!" Ma Qing said proudly.

Hearing this, Xu Guinian became even more angry and indignant.

"Follow Ah Ying, no matter who it is, you can win without any effort!"

How could Ma Qing tolerate this after hearing it? He made a gesture to hit Xu Guinian.

Xu Guinian took this opportunity to return to his team.

Men's doubles semi-finals.

Li Ying and Ma Qing did not give Xu Guinian any chance to gain momentum, which made Xu Guinian feel extremely awkward and uncomfortable.

finally.

Directly shut out Xu Guinian.

competition is over.

Xu Guinian smiled bitterly and shook his head!
no way.

It’s not that I’m weak, it’s that my opponent is too strong.

Because Li Ying is on the opposite side.

According to Li Ying's current strength, it can be said that Li Ying does not need to be assigned as a main player in the national team. Even if Li Ying's partner is just a member of the national team's second team, it can be said that they are capable of fighting against the Mengli/Kong Fengge combination.

Not to mention.

Standing next to Li Ying was still Ma Qing.

Although Ma Qing seems to be lagging behind Meng Li and Kong Fengge in the competition for the national team's main force, it does not mean that Ma Qing is weak.

However, Li Ying has already firmly taken the position of leader of the Xia country's national table tennis team and has firmly sat on the throne of the top player.

There was no other choice. Ma Qing had to compete with Meng Li and Kong Fengge for the last position among the three core players.

Now, the only match left for Li Ying is the men's doubles final.

then.

The fourth round of the men's singles will be held today, which is actually the men's singles quarter-finals.

In this case.

The top four men's singles players of this National Games will be decided soon.

The matchup list is out.

Li Ying VS Fang Bo.

Kong Fengge VS Yan An.

Mengli VS Ma Qing.

Liang Long VS Xu Guinian.

The top eight in men's singles, such as Dou Yang, Liu Geng, and Su Yan, were all defeated, and they were defeated by Fang Bo and Yan An, the three young men from 92.

This proves that the Xiaguo national table tennis team has indeed reached a new level of renewal.

because.

Dou Yang, Liu Geng, and Su Yan are from about the same era as Qianlima.

Although they are younger than Chen Daqian and Ma Qing, they are about the same age as Mengli.

And now.

The impact of the new generation is already very strong.

Among the top eight men's singles players, three were born in 92. You should know that Li Ying, Yan An and Fang Bo, who were born in 92, are only 17 years old this year.

Kong Fengge and Liang Long were 21 years old, and Xu Guinian was 20 years old.

It can be said.

The Xiaguo national table tennis team is indeed about to undergo a major change.

In addition, other projects were also halted.

For Su Yan, Dou Yang and Liu Geng, their professional lives were particularly cruel.

But no way.

The professional table tennis arena is so cruel.

After all, most of the world's superstars today are not very old.

In the men's singles quarter-finals, there were four table tennis tables and four matches started at the same time.

but.

The sports channel broadcasts Li Ying's games live, and the table tennis channel broadcasts Kong Fengge's games live.

The duel between Mengli and Ma Qing, and the fight between Liang Long and Xu Guinian were both extremely exciting, but unfortunately they were not broadcast live.

Fang Bo looked at Li Ying.

There was a strong fighting spirit in his eyes.

"Brother Ying, I hope you can show your full strength."

Fang Bo was eager to try.

"Then I hope you can give me enough pressure!"

Li Ying smiled.

Li Ying always feels particularly happy when getting along with the three young masters of 92.

because.

Li Ying calls all other members of the national team "brothers".

but.

The third young master of 92 should call Li Ying "Brother Ying".

Although Fang Bo called him Brother Ying, Li Ying showed no mercy at all.

then.

Fang Bo ended up being shut out by Li Ying.

Currently.

There is still an insurmountable gap between 92 San Shao and Li Ying.

Perhaps we have to wait until they are 20 years old for the strength of the 92 three young masters to fully develop.

If Li Ying remembers correctly, Fang Bo fought against Liang Long in the 2015 World Table Tennis Championships, and they almost won the men's singles championship.

This should be the most glorious battle in Fang Bo’s career.

of course.

In today's Blue Star, it is probably difficult for Fang Bo to reach the men's singles final in the 2015 Suzhou World Table Tennis Championships.

Li Ying was the first to finish the game.

at this time.

Look at the other three tables.

"Ok?"

Li Ying originally thought that Xu Guinian would be able to fight Liang Long to a draw.

But I never expected it.

Shortly after Li Ying finished his match, Liang Long and Xu Guinian's match also ended.

Xu Guinian was unexpectedly shut out by Liang Long.

In the duel between fellow disciples, Liang Long proves to Xu Guinian that his senior brother is still his senior brother.

then.

The confrontation between Meng Li and Ma Qing was thoroughly tense.

However, Kong Fengge was not able to quickly defeat Yan An.

then.

Li Ying looked towards the gymnasium and suddenly saw Zhao Dongyuan, Qian Zhongtian and Sun Guanqing, three table tennis geniuses who are now representing Hong Kong, Macao and Formosa.

The three of them had particularly bad luck in this National Games.

In the early stage, I met Li Ying, Kong Fengge and Liang Long respectively.

if not.

If they hadn't run into Lin, Long, and Feng, at least one or two of them would have been able to make it to the men's singles quarterfinals.

Can bear fruit.

He didn’t even make it into the men’s singles quarterfinals.

finally.

Kong Fengge defeated Yan An 4-2 and advanced into the men's singles semi-finals.

And finally the game ends.

It’s Mengli and Ma Qing.

And this time.

Mengli did not lose to Ma Qing again.

Defeated Ma Qing 4-3 and got the last ticket to the semi-finals.

In that case.

The top four players in the men's singles table tennis competition of the 11th National Games have been announced.

Lee wins!

Kong Fengge!
Diplodocus!

Monri!

The semi-final matches will be Li Ying VS Meng Li, Kong Fengge VS Liang Long!

night.

The men's doubles final begins.

Li Ying/Ma Qing VS Meng Li/Kong Fengge.

In this case.

This is the third time that Li Ying has faced off against Mengli in the men's doubles final, following the men's team and mixed doubles.

Previously.

Monli has already won two silver medals.

nowadays.

If he wins the silver medal in the men's doubles competition again, Mengli probably won't be able to get rid of the title of King of Sanya.

and so.

before the game.

"Feng Ge, we must fight hard tonight. I don't want to get the title of 'King of Sanya'. Besides, can we really just watch Li Ying go on undefeated?"

Meng Li said in a deep voice.

"Mengge, there's no need to say more. In my heart, my will to defeat Li Ying is no less than yours. In the next few years, Li Ying will be our strongest opponent to win the championship!"

Kong Fengge said in a deep voice.

now.

It can be said that Meng Li and Kong Fengge, a pair of brothers in distress, are completely determined.

To defeat Li Ying and Ma Qing to win the championship.

after all.

It would be extremely difficult to defeat Li Ying in a singles match.

Even if the state is pushed to the extreme.

but.

This men's doubles final is very likely.
