Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 121 Comforting Wang Xianlan, Asian Championships, Angry Liang Long
The imperial capital, Xia National Table Tennis Training Base.

Li Ying and Chen Daqian walked side by side in it.

"Aying, you must be feeling very tired after so many competitions and trainings during this period."

Chen Daqian asked with a smile.

"Brother Qian, I'm fine. I'm not that tired, and it's almost the end of the year, and there are still many important competitions." Li Ying said with a smile.

How could he say he was tired?

after all.

This is a seventeen-year-old's body.

not to mention.

Now is the time to achieve results.

Under such circumstances, there was no way Li Ying could tell the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang that he was very tired and did not want to participate in the competition.

But estimated.

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang was eager for Li Ying to say this.

Chen Daqian said with emotion: "That's right. The biennial Asian Championships will be held on November 11. This is one of the highest-level table tennis competitions in Asia. It is known as one of the three major intercontinental competitions in Asia, along with the Asian Games and the Asian Cup."

"Also, the Asian Championships has a total of seven events, including the mixed doubles competition. Moreover, it is only held every two years, so you must participate."

Speaking of the Asian Championships, Li Ying thought of another competition.

"Brother Qian, have you ever participated in the East Asian Games before?"

Li Ying asked with a smile.

"This competition is a regional comprehensive sports meeting held in Xiangjiang, Xiaguo. You can participate if you want to, or not if you don't."

陈大千笑道，“亚洲锦标赛后，有12月13日举办的2009世界乒乓球总冠军赛跟12月17日举办的2009国际乒联年终总决赛。”

Li Ying said: "In that case, let's prepare for the Asian Championships first."

Li Ying must participate in the biennial Asian Championships.

because.

This is related to whether we can achieve a Grand Slam or even a Super Grand Slam in the future.

But for events like the Asian Cup where they have already won the championship, in the future, it depends on Li Ying's mood. If he wants to participate, he can participate, and if he doesn't want to participate, he doesn't have to participate.

Next.

Li Ying performs daily training with a small amount of exercise every day.

at this time.

Li Ying keeps training mainly to quickly familiarize himself with his techniques, awareness, physical fitness and even table tennis talent, which suddenly increased after his strength score reached 98 points.

In short.

After his strength score reached 98 points, and considering that Li Ying is only 17 years old, Li Ying has a new life.

About the 'rebirth' of table tennis.

Although Li Ying did not participate in the English Open.

but.

However, almost all the main players of the Chinese national table tennis team participated.

Because in the ITTF tour system, the status of the England Open has gradually improved in recent years, and more importantly, winning the championship or even entering the top three will earn a lot of points.

and so.

Men's team here.

In addition to Long Fenggui who went directly from Linz to participate in the competition, Ma Qing, who seldom participates in open tournaments, also signed up for this competition.

As for the women's team.

Wang Xianlan was also signed up to participate.

"I wouldn't have participated if I had known. I'm so tired!"

During the transatlantic phone call, Wang Xianlan complained to Li Ying.

"If you really feel tired, tell your head coach. I also feel that you have participated in too many competitions during this period!"

Li Ying said in a deep voice.

at this time.

Li Ying also felt sorry for Wang Xianlan.

after all.

Li Ying has a professional panel.

But Wang Xianlan is different.

Wang Xianlan can only rely purely on her own body to regulate herself.

"That's okay, but the coach promised me that in the Asian Championships, he would let me form a mixed doubles team with you." Wang Xianlan said with a smile.

Li Ying: “???”

Li Ying never thought that this was Wang Xianlan's motivation for participating in the England Open.

"Then do your best in the competition."

Now, Li Ying, who is far away in China, can only wish Wang Xianlan this way.

11 month 1 number.

The English Open has come to the last day of competition.

Men's singles final and women's singles final day.

In the men's singles final, it was Liang Long and Ma Qing.

However, the Xiaguo team did not achieve its goal of sweeping the top four.

Kong Fengge and Xu Guinian only made it to the quarterfinals.

but.

In the quarter-finals, they lost the foreign battle and were defeated by the foreign superstar.

However, Liang Long and Ma Qing finally met in the final.

Women's singles side.

Wang Xianlan and Xu Mingyue also successfully joined forces.

finally.

Liang Long won the men's singles title, while Wang Xianlan lost to Xu Mingyue.

After watching the women's singles match, Li Ying waited for a call from Wang Xianlan.

soon.

Wang Xianlan called.

The sound of Wang Xianlan sobbing could be heard directly on the phone.

"Don't cry, I'll be sad!"

Li Ying whispered.

"You didn't lose to Xu Mingyue because of your strength. I can see that you are very tired after participating in competitions one after another during this period."

"It's okay. It's just an open tournament. You're going to fly to Lucknow soon. You can use the method I taught you to get a good night's sleep on the plane."

Li Ying's comfort quickly stopped Wang Xianlan from crying.

“I knew I was very tired, but on the day of the final, it seemed as if all the fatigue in my body burst out at once,” said Wang Xianlan.

"Yeah, I know!"

"You are right, it is just an ordinary open match. Wait for me, we will see you in Lucknow."

Wang Xianlan recovered quickly, she was just sad and disappointed for a moment.

"it is good."

At this time, Li Ying was at the Imperial Capital International Airport.

The Chinese table tennis team took off from the Imperial Capital International Airport and headed for Lucknow, the venue for the Asian Championships.

finally.

In Lucknow, Li Ying and the Chinese national table tennis team reunited at the hotel where they were staying.

Li Ying arrived at the door of Wang Xianlan's hotel room.

at this time.

See Lee Win.

Wang Xianlan flew over and fell into Li Ying's arms in an instant.

Li Ying patted Wang Xianlan's back gently.

Nothing was said.

Talking would destroy this warm and quiet atmosphere.

And right now.

Wang Xianlan suddenly stood on tiptoe.

Seeing this scene, Li Ying knew what Wang Xianlan was thinking.

Just kissed her directly.

After a long time.

Lip points.

Wang Xianlan became even more shy and hid in Li Ying's broad chest.

at this time.

Wang Xianlan's roommate Qiao Yuning came back, and Wang Xianlan reluctantly parted with Li Ying.

"Hey, did I disturb you?"

Qiao Yuning looked at Li Ying and Wang Xianlan and joked.

In the women's team.

Although Qiao Yuning is currently the main force that the women's team is focusing on training for the next generation, at present, Qiao Yuning can only be a young player.

Still launching an attack on the absolute main force of the women's team.

after all.

Among the three new generation players of the women's team, Qiao Yuning's current performance is not as good as Wang Xianlan and Ji Chuanxia.

and.

On the women's team, players like Xu Mingyue are currently in their prime and will definitely not step down on their own initiative.

same.

They are also the absolute main force of the women's team.

but.

Qiao Yuning won consecutive games in the women's doubles with Wang Xianlan, and also had a good performance in the women's singles, so she qualified for the Asian Championships. She will become the main force of the women's team together with Wang Xianlan, Ji Chuanxia and others.

Li Ying didn't chat in the room for too long and then returned to his room.

After returning to the room, Chen Daqian came back later.

"Aying, the coaching staff just held a small meeting. The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang emphasized the discipline. This place is not like Xiaguo. You must not go out without permission."

Chen Daqian smiled.

Having said that, Chen Daqian looked very relaxed.

because.

Li Ying is not like the rebellious son under other national table tennis coaches.

Li Ying has always been very well behaved. In the past, he would at most sneak out to eat some local delicacies.

But in this place, Chen Daqian was 100% sure that Li Ying would not do that.

and so.

Chen Daqian always felt particularly relaxed when managing Li Ying.

Because of Lee Win.

He never got angry.

even.

In terms of discipline, Li Ying has always been good.

and.

Never date fans privately.

Even every day, there are fans who want to date Li Ying in various ways.

But Li Ying never paid any attention.

at this time.

Chen Daqian is very grateful that in this era the women's team has a beautiful goddess like Wang Xianlan in the national table tennis team.

if not.

If Li Ying had grown up to be a playboy, he would probably never have become the leader of the Xia country's national table tennis team.

even.

Not even the core force.

because.

The Chinese national table tennis team will never tolerate scandals involving its athletes that frequently appear on the Internet.

at this point.

Li Ying is particularly self-disciplined.

"Brother Qian, you don't need to explain. I know where this is. I just want to finish the game as soon as possible and return home!"

Li Ying smiled.

"You are competing in four events in this Asian Championship. Are you sure your body can handle it?"

At this time, Chen Daqian began to worry about Li Ying's health.

After all, Li Ying signed up for four events: men's singles, men's team, men's doubles and mixed doubles.

In mixed doubles, I partner with Wang Xianlan.

In men's doubles, Li Ying's partner this time is Kong Fengge.

As for the unicorn, dragon, phoenix and turtle, Liang Long will continue to partner with Xu Guinian.

In this case.

With the unicorn, dragon, phoenix and turtle all competing, at least the men's doubles championship can be guaranteed to go to Xia.

of course.

The Asian Championships are full of top players, and this time teams like Ryu-in, Korea, Hong Kong, Haojiang, Formosa, and Singapore are all fielding their full main players.

Li Ying patted his chest.

"Brother Qian, don't worry, I'm in great shape."

Li Ying smiled.

Although he has signed up for four events and may have to play six or seven games in a day, Li Ying is confident that he can stick to it.

at this time.

Li Ying also particularly needs a men's singles championship like the Asian Championships. Only in this way can he improve his strength score.

if not.

As for the open tournaments, even an ordinary open men's singles champion would not be able to increase Li Ying's score.

The first day of the Asian Championships.

It's a competition between a girls' group and a boys' group.

and.

At 11 o'clock, it will be the women's group quarter-finals.

The men's team's quarter-finals will be at 1:4.

after all.

This is the Asian Championships, it is impossible for so many countries and associations to sign up.

finally.

Only eight countries' table tennis teams participated in the men's team competition.

Xia Country, Host, Ryusakura, Goryeo, Hong Kong, Haojiang, Formosa, and Singapore.

some of.

The Xia Kingdom directly occupied half of the country.

And places like Hong Kong, Macau and Formosa, because of their special relationship, are able to participate in such intercontinental and even international competitions as places.

In this case.

Naturally, one quota is also required.

among them.

The opponent of the Xia team in the first game is the Xia civil war!

Xiaguo National Table Tennis Team VS Xiaguo Treasure Island Team.

At this moment.

Li Ying, Kong Fengge, Liang Long, and Xu Guinian were standing in front of the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang, listening to his pre-match speech.

"You four have been through the baptism of the previous World Cup team competition. In addition, the format of this competition has cancelled the doubles and has five singles matches."

"Among them, Li Ying will play in the first singles match, Kong Fengge will play in the second singles match, Liang Long will play in the third singles match, and Xu Guinian will play in the fourth singles match. If there is a fifth match, Li Ying will also play."

"Don't blame me for not giving you a chance. If anyone loses the foreign war, you will be scolded when you return home!"

After hearing this, Li Ying knew that there are two mainstream competition systems in team competitions nowadays.

One is that all five games are singles.

There is also a third game, which is doubles.

As for the unicorn, dragon, phoenix and turtle, they are not afraid no matter which competition system is used.

because.

If it's singles, then everyone will play one game.

We go crazy together when we win, and we bear it together when we lose.

It can be said.

The Chinese table tennis coaching team has taken great pains to hone the unicorn, dragon, phoenix and turtle as quickly as possible.

after all.

It can be seen that the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang is very courageous as he dares to use this kind of intercontinental competition to hone the team's lineup.

As for doubles, with a natural doubles saint like Xu Guinian, it is very likely that he will achieve the golden left-handed straight-blade "doubles grand slam" in the future.

No matter whether they are paired with Li Ying, Kong Fengge or Liang Long, as long as the opponents are not the other two of Linlongfenggui, they can almost sweep all the doubles combinations in the world.

of course.

Even in a team competition with five singles matches, Li Ying wouldn't feel so tired.

As long as your teammates are strong, you can easily win by just playing one game.

On the other hand.

The Formosa team is eager to try.

because.

They want to score points against the Xiaguo team.

Don't want to be shut out.

if not.

Then what is the point of coming to Lucknow.

not to mention.

In the first quarter-final, we drew the Xia national table tennis team, which can be said to be extremely unlucky.

at this time.

Li Ying was the first to fight.

but.

When Li Ying saw that his opponent was not Sun Guanqing, the leader of the Baodao team, he knew that the Baodao team had some ideas.

Although the Formosa team sent players who are also ranked in the top 50 in the world.

but.

No matter what, he couldn't compete with Li Ying.

Li Ying easily swept him out with a score of 4-0.

In this competition, the final score is best of five.

But each game must be played in full seven innings.

Kong Fengge was the second to appear.

Sun Guanqing still did not play.

In this case.

Kong Fengge also easily swept his opponent 4-0.

then.

When the third game started, when Liang Long came on the court, Sun Guanqing came on the court.

Saw this scene.

Even though Liang Long was a good-tempered man, he couldn't help but get angry.

Off the court.

Li Ying, who was watching the game, immediately laughed and said, "It seems that our Brother Long is angry!"

At this moment.

Liang Long looked solemn.

It is clear.

Liang Long was furious.

because.

It would be fine if Sun Guanqing didn't dare to challenge Li Ying.

but.

Between Kong Fengge and him, Sun Guanqing chose him.

It is clear that Sun Guanqing feels that he is not as good as Kong Fengge.

Liang Long, how could you not be angry?
Being underestimated by his opponent, even if Liang Long had a good temper, he was furious at this moment.
