Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 116: Participating in the World Cup, Kong Fengge scored 98 points

Li Ying came to the airport to meet Wang Xianlan.

Li Ying's eyes were full of love.

"Why bother? It's not like we don't see each other often. I'm about to fly abroad and will be back after the World Cup."

Li Ying said with concern.

Wang Xianlan shook her head slightly. From the outside, she didn’t look tired at all from the flight.

But in fact.

Li Ying was very clear that Wang Xianlan had been participating in competitions one after another during this period, so it was impossible for her not to be tired.

Li Ying sent Wang Xianlan to check into the hotel, because Li Ying's residence was in the dormitory. After all, many coaches from the national table tennis team were there in preparation for the World Cup.

This is also the characteristic of the Xiaguo national table tennis team.

Although the two table tennis players who participated in the competition were Li Ying and Kong Fengge, almost the entire national table tennis team was involved in the preparations for each match.

10 month 14 number.

The national table tennis team flew to the polar bear.

The venue for this men's World Cup is the Druzhba Arena in the capital of the polar bear.

For things like hotels and training halls, the national table tennis team sent staff to the site in advance and made reservations early.

After arriving in the polar bear capital by plane, the Chinese table tennis team went directly to the hotel where they were going to stay.

airport.

There were many fans from the Polar Bear Country picking us up at the airport.

but.

It’s different abroad than at home.

The men's team coach Dong Yaobang was afraid of causing a riot, so he refused to let Li Ying appear and left directly.

Li Ying naturally agreed with this.

after all.

No one knows whether there are any disguised black fans among the fans who came to pick up the plane.

The public security in foreign countries is not as good as in Xia Country.

After arriving at the hotel, the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang held an impromptu meeting.

Dong Yaobang said solemnly: "The World Cup is an invitational tournament. The format was slightly changed in 2009, with the number of participants increased from 16 to 19. They include representatives from the six continents, the best player from the host country, the top 11 players in the world, and the world's No. 1 player under 18 years old (as a wildcard player)."

"As one of the three major table tennis tournaments, the World Cup is not as influential as the World Table Tennis Championships and the Olympics, but it is a major global table tennis event after all. For our Xiaguo national table tennis team, we must win the championship!"

"It would be best if Li Ying and Kong Fengge could meet in the finals. In that case, no matter who wins, we can be sure that the first and second place will belong to our Xia country!"

Although Dong Yaobang did not publicly ask Li Ying and Kong Fengge to sign a military order, in fact, what he said now was almost the same as a military order.

Li Ying nodded slightly.

Kong Fengge is under tremendous pressure.

It’s not that he is worried about not making it to the finals, but Kong Fengge is already thinking about how to defeat Li Ying if he faces him again in the finals.

After the brief meeting, no training was scheduled on the 14th.

Chen Daqian and Li Ying, dressed in disguise, went out to stroll around the polar bear capital and tasted the local cuisine.

15 number.

The group draw ceremony for the 2009 Table Tennis Men's World Cup was held.

Li Ying has never cared about these things.

Li Ying and Kong Fengge, although not in the same group.

but.

The International Table Tennis Federation still disgusted the Chinese national table tennis team.

If nothing unexpected happens, Li Ying will face Kong Fengge in the semi-finals.

In this case.

This directly shattered Dong Yaobang's dream of having the Xia Guo and Chinese national table tennis teams meet in the final.

"Boss Dong looks unhappy, but the ITTF's behavior isn't that unpleasant. Anyway, I think you'll have to meet Kong Fengge sooner or later. If that's the case, why not meet in the semifinals? Whoever wins the match can just prepare for the final!"

Chen Daqian smiled.

nowadays!
The rise of Li Ying and Kong Fengge caused the unicorns, dragons, phoenixes and turtles to speed up their fight for power.

we can even say.

Li Ying and Kong Fengge have both completed the process of seizing power.

only.

Because Diplodocus has not yet risen!

Therefore, there is still a place for the talented players in today’s Chinese national table tennis team.

But if Liang Long can maintain this terrifying performance in the National Games men's singles final, it will be extremely difficult for Mengli to defeat him again.

When Liang Long rises, it can be said that the Unicorn, Dragon, Phoenix and Tortoise will completely replace the Thousand-Li Horse.

As for the Black Turtle Xu Guinian, an innate doubles holy body is enough to allow Xu Guinian to blend in with the Kirin, Dragon, Phoenix and Turtle.

not to mention.

Xu Guinian's personal strength is not too weak.

But at the moment, the winning rate against Kong Fengge is not high.

As for beating Li Ying, there is absolutely no chance of winning.

after all.

Currently, Li Ying maintains an undefeated record.

"It doesn't matter who I play against. I will play seriously no matter which table tennis superstar I play against."

Now, for Li Ying, whether it is his teammates from the national table tennis team or foreign table tennis superstars, they are all trying their best to defeat him.

That's the case.

No matter which opponent he meets, he will explode like crazy.

and.

They will all exceed their usual peak state.

Li Ying also felt strange about this.

But no way.

Everyone wants to achieve the first defeat achievement.

"Yes, strategically we look down on all table tennis superstars. However, tactically, we must pay attention to our opponents in any round."

Chen Daqian was increasingly amazed at Li Ying's rationality.

Because until now, Li Ying has not been carried away by the successive victories and championships.

If any other table tennis superstar had achieved such brilliant results as Li Ying, he would have become arrogant long ago.

but.

Li Ying, however, remained very stable, his heart as calm as an ancient well.

This is what surprised Chen Daqian the most, because he had also been through such a peak before.

But Chen Daqian recalled the past, and at that time he was completely the boss, second only to everyone else, and he didn't take any table tennis players seriously.

result.

Won two Olympic bronze medals.

Although he won the men's singles championship at the World Table Tennis Championships three times, Chen Daqian still regretted not being able to win the gold medal.

of course.

Speaking of regrets, perhaps none of them are as regretful as Mengli.

"Brother Qian, I know my own strengths and weaknesses. No opponent should be underestimated."

Li Ying was not just putting on a show in front of Chen Daqian, this was the truth.

No matter who Li Ying's opponent is, a fantasy space simulation game will have to be conducted in advance.

If he loses more than he wins, then Li Ying should reflect on whether there is something wrong with his technique.
after all.

With Li Ying's current strength, there are only a handful of superstars in the world who can defeat Li Ying.

and.

In most cases, these table tennis superstars are temporary breakthroughs.

Because they are not like Li Ying, who has a career panel that can maintain constant strength forever.

"Let's go, let's go train!"

Chen Daqian and Li Ying went to the gym to train together.

at this time.

Other table tennis superstars participating in the competition rushed to the scene.

For this competition, the Xiaguo national table tennis team's sparring lineup is particularly luxurious.

There is no need to say much about the second team's regular sparring partner.

For example, Dong Yaobang even selected Liang Long, Xu Guinian and others to serve as sparring partners for Li Ying and Kong Fengge.

but.

Li Ying stated that it was not necessary.

In that case, Kong Fengge can enjoy all the sparring.

"Fuck, Ah Ying, you don't need it yet!"

Xu Guinian immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

after all.

They flew all the way from Xia Country to the capital of the polar bear just to contribute to the Xia Country's national table tennis team in the World Cup.

"I really don't need it. It's not like I'm doing any advanced training. Besides, having Brother Qian accompany me is enough!"

Li Ying knew.

The reason why Dong Yaobang of the men's team called Liang Long, Xu Guinian and others was purely to let Liang Long and Xu Guinian temporarily simulate the playing style of the foreign table tennis superstars.

In this case.

So that Li Ying and Kong Fengge can have an idea.

Li Ying naturally doesn't need it.

The fantasy space is much better than these simulations.

Thinking of this.

Li Ying looked at the career panel in his mind.

Strength rating: 97.95.

Previously.

Before the Xiaguo Open (Tianjin Station), Li Ying's strength rating reached 97.8.

However, after winning the men's singles championship of the Xiaguo Open.

However, it did not directly increase the strength score by 0.1 as expected!

Instead, it increased by 0.05!

Later, Li Ying thought about it and it seemed normal.

Because this year Li Ying participated in two Xiaguo Opens, and won the men's singles championship in both the Suzhou and Tianjin stations.

then.

After winning the men's singles championship at the National Games.

The strength score finally reached 97.95!

It’s just one step away from 98 points.

but.

At this time Li Ying suddenly looked at Kong Fengge.

Kong Fengge displayed the same brilliance that Liang Long had shown in the men's singles final of the National Games.

That was no ordinary divine light.

That is the blue super divine light.

Now, Kong Fengge's whole body was glowing with green light.

It was extremely dazzling, and of course, only Li Ying could see it.

98 points!
Kong Fengge has now entered the 98-point threshold.

and.

It's not that unstable yet.

Kong Fengge's current strength has stabilized at 98 points.

In the settings of the career panel.

97 points is the strength of a Grand Slam player.

In other words.

Chen Daqian and Ma Qing, who were at their peak, scored 97 points.

The same is true of what Monri said.

In other words.

Their upper limit has been fixed, which is 97 points!
but.

Ma Qing has yet to achieve a Grand Slam.

As for Chen Daqian, his most significant achievement was winning the men's singles title at the World Table Tennis Championships three times.

As for the World Cup journey, talking about it makes people sad and cry.

In this case.

The Thousand-Li Horses checked and balanced each other, resulting in no one achieving the Grand Slam.

And 98 points puts it in the realm of Grand Slam legendary players!
In other words.

If there is only one table tennis player with a score of 98 in a generation, he will surely become a legend and achieve the Grand Slam.

now.

Although Kong Fengge has not achieved much, his strength has already entered this field ahead of time.

Leading Li Ying.

Li Ying immediately realized that the semi-finals might not be easy to play.

at this time.

Chen Daqian was very keen to notice this scene.

"Aying, do you think Kong Fengge has become stronger now?"

Chen Daqian asked with a smile.

Li Ying nodded slightly.

Chen Daqian was a little jealous: "That may be because Boss Dong is biased. He has been instructing Kong Fengge on tactics with Coach Liao Huazhong these days."

Chen Daqian could not hide any movement of the national team.

"Brother Qian, this is nothing. The head coach once asked me, but I refused. I don't need to be too anxious, just take it one step at a time!"

In Li Ying's opinion, a short-term lead is not a lead at all.

Even though Kong Fengge's strength has now truly reached the 98-point threshold, Li Ying is not afraid.

Because Li Ying’s strength score is now very close to 98 points.

If he can win the men's singles championship in this World Cup, he will probably be able to break the bottleneck of 98 points.

of course.

For Li Ying, there are no bottlenecks or shackles at all.

"You, no wonder."

Chen Daqian had always been wondering why Dong Yaobang was so keen on cultivating Kong Fengge when Li Ying was the leader of the national table tennis team.

If they are dissatisfied with Li Ying, they can just remove Li Ying from the position of leader of the national table tennis team. There is no need to use the method of training Kong Fengge to add pressure to Li Ying.

"Brother Qian, what are you worried about? I am the top player in the national team and the core player."

Li Ying smiled.

"This is all the result of your hard work!"

Chen Daqian smiled.

But in fact.

Deep down, Li Ying was extremely grateful to Chen Daqian.

Because at this point, Li Ying knew very well that the reason why Chen Daqian withdrew from the national team in such a hurry was to make room for him as the core player.

Just want Li Ying to take over smoothly.

of course.

Li Ying must pass the test of the national table tennis coaching team.

It turns out.

Li Ying did not disappoint Chen Daqian.

But these.

Li Ying just needs to keep it in mind.

16 number.

The round-robin tournament of four groups begins.

finally.

The first place in the four groups will be decided on the 17th!

In this case.

Directly advance to the semi-finals.

after all.

The Men's Table Tennis World Cup previously invited 16 contestants. Although the number has now been increased to 19, they are divided into four groups and are not at all eye-catching.

In the group round-robin, even though Li Ying's group had many superstars, none of them could pose a threat to Li Ying.

finally.

Li Yingshun advanced to the semi-finals smoothly.

at the same time.

The other three table tennis superstars who advanced to the semi-finals were also announced.

Kong Fengge.

Tim!

Truth!
among them.

Li Ying will face Kong Fengge in the semifinals. The other semifinal will be between Thiem and Truth.

At this moment.

No one can predict the outcome of the two semi-finals.

after all.

In this Men's World Cup, Kong Fengge's condition can be described as explosively good.

In every game, we shut out our opponents.

and.

It can even make the opponent completely lose everything.

but.

Dong Yaobang was sitting outside the court, and naturally he would not allow such a thing that would damage the image of the Xiaguo national table tennis team to happen.

not to mention.

Although the Xiaguo national table tennis team is in fact the enemy of the whole world!

But in theory, Dong Yaobang could not allow the Xia Guo table tennis team to have a stain or a bad image.

But on the contrary, Li Ying’s fighting style was not as domineering as Kong Fengge’s.

of course.

Li Ying always wins.

then.

Semi-finals.

It is equivalent to the final being staged in advance.

This made the table tennis fans in the capital of the polar bear country feel like it was New Year's Day.

then.

They flocked into the stadium to watch the stunning battle between Li Ying and Kong Fengge.

And on the Internet of Xia Country.

Li Ying's die-hard fans and Kong Fengge's fans have been at war for a long time.

then.

Many table tennis fans are looking forward to it, especially Kong Fengge’s fans, who are imagining the scene of Kong Fengge defeating Li Ying for the first time.

then.

Under such public attention.

The Li-Kong battle in the men's singles semi-finals was staged again.
