Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 125 Dimitri’s lifelong rival, Li Ying once again won the Grand King Cup!

After winning the men's team championship.

Li Ying/Wang Xianlan then won the mixed doubles championship.

because.

Li Ying and Wang Xianlan participated in the mixed doubles competition, which was a complete dimensionality reduction attack.

Don’t say that the mixed doubles team in this East Asian Games is unable to compete.

Even if you look around the world, it is almost impossible to find a mixed doubles combination that can match Li Ying and Wang Xianlan.

Then came the men's doubles competition.

Li Ying did not participate in the competition.

In that case.

Naturally, no one could stop Kong Fengge and Xu Guinian from killing so many people.

Kong Fengge and Xu Guinian won the men's doubles championship.

The competition for the men's singles championship.

It finally unfolded between Li Ying and Kong Fengge.

then.

Even if Kong Fengge burned his small universe, he still couldn't defeat Li Ying.

In this case.

Li Ying felt that it was not bad to win three championships in the table tennis competition at the East Asian Games.

During this period.

Li Ying also participated in promotional activities organized by the national table tennis team.

Hanging out with many celebrities in the entertainment industry.

of course.

More than that.

Wang Xiqing also came to Hong Kong and took Wang Xianlan and Li Ying to various high-end occasions. As for Li Ying, he was just there to eat and drink for free.

Li Ying has absolutely no interest in the communication and exchanges between those big guys.

The sports meet is over.

Wang Xianlan went home with Wang Xiqing.

Li Ying also went home.

By the time.

Just set off directly from home and go to Star City.

Li Ying was particularly cordial when he returned to his hometown.

and.

There are also professional drivers.

Wang Xiqing wanted to send two additional bodyguards, but Li Ying finally refused because the two drivers could also serve as bodyguards by taking turns driving.

At my hometown.

Li Ying's life was very comfortable.

It is really possible to have food and clothes provided for you by just opening your mouth.

My mother cooks delicious food in different ways every day.

The same goes for Dad.

After staying at home for several days, Li Ying set off from his hometown to Xingcheng as the competition was approaching.

With the arrival of the 2009 World Table Tennis Championships, the table tennis atmosphere in Star City is becoming more and more intense.

Arrived at the hotel where the Xingcheng National Table Tennis Team is staying.

Li Ying didn't even have time to meet up with his teammates and was directly called to the restaurant by Wang Xianlan.

Wang Xianlan will naturally also participate in this World Table Tennis Championships.

In the huge restaurant box, there were only Li Ying, Wang Xianlan and the hotel staff.

"Aren't uncle and aunt with you?"

Li Ying asked with a smile.

"They're off to discuss business."

Wang Xianlan said with a smile.

Li Ying immediately began to eat and drink.

"Only Xu Mingyue and I will be participating in the women's team this time."

Wang Xianlan said with a smile.

"Why, don't you have confidence?"

Li Ying smiled.

"How could I not have confidence? I am very powerful now!"

Wang Xianlan said with a smile.

While attending the East Asian Games in Hong Kong.

Li Ying taught Wang Xianlan many unique skills.

and.

Helped Wang Xianlan analyze the skills and tactics of the team's and the world's main competitors, and how to respond.

Even in the fantasy space, Li Ying transformed himself into Wang Xianlan to compete with those main opponents and obtained a lot of very valuable data and information.

"That's good!"

Li Ying smiled.

"Your men's team is still stronger. There are only eight places in total, but your men's team took up four."

Wang Xianlan said with a smile.

Li Ying smiled and said, "Brother Ma was selected based on last year's Olympic champion. Brother Meng was selected because he was the runner-up in the men's singles at this year's World Table Tennis Championships. As for me, I can be said to have occupied three places alone, the men's singles champion of the World Table Tennis Championships, the men's singles champion of the World Cup, and the men's singles champion of last year's ITTF Finals. In this way, if the order of replacement is passed, Brother Long, who has a higher world ranking, will get the opportunity to participate!"

The Chinese men's table tennis team participating in the 2009 World Table Tennis Championships is composed of Li Ying, Ma Qing, Meng Li and Liang Long.

of course.

The opponent is also very strong.

The twin stars Tim and Dimitri were among them.

There is also Tomoaki Furukawa, with the wild card.

Then there is Truth, who was selected based on his world ranking.

In short.

There are eight table tennis players, all of them are superstars in the table tennis world.

in contrast.

The women's singles seems to be a little lacking in star power.

but.

Wang Xianlan alone is enough to replace many female superstars.

After eating and drinking, Li Ying took a stroll with Wang Xianlan and finally returned to his room.

"Brother Qian, why did you come to such a small competition? You don't have to run around so much."

Li Ying had previously advised Chen Daqian on the phone not to travel so far.

originally.

Li Ying does not need Chen Daqian in the 2009 World Table Tennis Championships.

Li Ying secretly wanted Chen Daqian to rest for a while longer.

but.

Chen Daqian himself didn't do it.

"What's the big deal? Come to this Star City and eat and drink good food. I'd feel uncomfortable staying alone in the Magic City." Chen Daqian said with a smile.

"OK then!"

Li Ying could also guess that Chen Daqian would inevitably be urged to get married when he returned home.

Perhaps in order to get some peace and quiet, Chen Daqian chose to go on this business trip to Xingcheng.

"The quarterfinal matchups have been announced. Liang Long will face Tomoaki Furukawa, Thiem will face Monri, Ma Qing will face Dimitri, and you will face Truus!"

Chen Daqian smiled.

"The biggest advantage of a competition like this is that in the first round, athletes from the same country won't be able to compete head-on. In this case, the four of you have a chance to take the top four spots."

"But this time, the head coach of the men's team didn't come. Instead, he gave full authority to Coach Qin Yucheng to take charge of the off-court duties. However, if you play, I will be your off-court duty!"

After saying this.

Chen Daqian couldn't help but think in his heart, if it weren't for Li Ying's outstanding performance.

Otherwise, in the national table tennis team, Chen Daqian would never be able to compare with Qin Yucheng in terms of seniority.

but.

Since his debut till now, Li Ying's achievements have been exceptionally dazzling.

So many times, Li Ying enjoyed the privileges, which led to Chen Daqian enjoying them as well.

For example, the hotel we stayed in this time was very good, it was a five-star hotel.

The Chinese national table tennis team is very willing and generous, after all, Li Ying, Meng Li, Ma Qing and Liang Long are participating this time.

but.

But only Li Ying lived in the presidential suite.

You know, all of this is paid for by the national table tennis team.

of course.

Chen Daqian knew better.

Wool still comes from sheep.

The fact that the Chinese national table tennis team has become so generous now is closely related to Li Ying.

The national table tennis team has too many sponsors nowadays. Apart from that, the share of commercial endorsements made by the players is a huge sum of money every year.

"Whether they can make it to the semi-finals depends on whether the three of them can defeat their opponents." Li Ying said with a smile.

Li Ying was too lazy to go to the fantasy space to simulate their game.

This is purely mentally draining.

Totally unnecessary.

and.

If you simulate in advance, then watching the game will be completely boring.

12 month 19 number.

The first day of the 2009 World Table Tennis Championships begins.

For the men's singles, it will go directly to the quarter-finals.

The match between Li Ying and Truss was the last one.

Moreover, the game time is at night.

because.

This time, the entire competition was broadcast live by Star City TV.

In order to increase the ratings, Xingcheng TV naturally had to arrange Li Ying to be the last show in the evening.

In this case, starting from the afternoon.

The game begins.

Chen Daqian did not let Li Ying watch the game, but instead took Li Ying to do simple warm-up exercises together.

but.

Li Ying could still see the real-time scores through the screen hanging above the gymnasium.

Because the women's singles and men's singles will start one after another.

By the afternoon.

All three men's singles matches have been completed.

Liang Long fought hard with Tomoaki Furukawa in the deciding round and finally defeated him.

but.

Mengli and Ma Qing unexpectedly stumbled.

They all lost to the German twins.

In this case.

The semi-final matchups became Li Ying vs. Thiem, Liang Long vs. Dimitri.

Saw this scene.

Li Ying smiled at Chen Daqian and said, "Brother Qian, isn't this to ensure that Brother Long will be promoted to the finals?"

nowadays.

Everyone in the international table tennis world knows that Dimitri defeated everyone only to lose to Liang Long when they faced each other.

of course.

This is just the semi-finals.

Judging from the characteristics of Liang Long's natural nemesis Dimitri, Liang Long can be said to have one foot in the finals.

of course.

Theoretically speaking.

The German twin stars also have the opportunity to meet in the final.

only.

Li Ying participated in this competition.

Even the most die-hard German table tennis fans would not dare to dream of such a thing.

We can only hope that Dimitri can break the curse of losing to Diplodocus soon.

because.

Just like Li Ying's undefeated record, Dimitri has never defeated Liang Long in a formal competition.

then.

That night.

Meng Li and Ma Qing took a plane to leave Xingcheng and returned to their respective homes.

Li Ying went to the airport to see Meng Li and Ma Qing off.

Meng Li and Ma Qing didn't say much, they just patted Li Ying on the shoulder, and everything was said without words.

12 month 20 number.

The 2009 World Table Tennis Championships continues to be fierce.

Both the men's singles semi-finals and the women's singles semi-finals were very exciting.

because.

Both the men's and women's singles seem likely to reach the summer finals.

finally.

The women's singles semi-finals were completed first.

Wang Xianlan VS Xu Mingyue.

The women's singles have taken the lead in completing the task of meeting up.

In this case.

No matter whether Wang Xianlan or Xu Mingyue wins the championship, at least the Grand King Cup will remain in Xia Country.

The men's singles semi-finals will then begin.

Dimitri struggled anyway.

But it seems.

He couldn't escape the big net that Liang Long had built for him.

finally.

Liang Long captured Dimitri without any bloodshed.

Once again, the spell was proven.

The spell continues.

then.

It's Lee Win vs. Tim.

In order to prevent Xia Guo from meeting him in the men's singles final, Thiem gave his best.

but.

This is not enough.

Unless he exerts 150% or even 200%, it would be impossible to defeat Li Ying.

In this case.

The men's singles also successfully completed the meeting.

night.

The women's singles final also started.

finally.

After seven tough battles.

Wang Xianlan defeated Xu Mingyue and finally won the Grand King Cup.

Next, it was the men's singles final.

Li Ying fights Liang Long!

When all table tennis fans felt that it was a evenly matched match, just like the previous match between Li Ying and Kong Fengge.

but.

Perhaps it was because of the victory over Dimitri that Liang Long felt that he had accomplished his mission or something, Liang Long's condition was not at its peak.

Because he doesn't have a particularly strong desire to win.

finally.

Li Ying directly swept Liang Long 4-0!

In this case.

Li Ying successfully defended his title.

Lift the Grand King Cup again.

The award ceremony is also very interesting.

Star City TV is an expert in this area.

finally.

This table tennis ceremony came to an end.

There is still a full half month left before the ITTF year-end finals.

Li Ying followed Chen Daqian back to the imperial capital.

Because this time.

The year-end finals will be held in Haojiang.

This is the year-end finals of the ITTF round-robin system, and it is of great value.

imperial capital.

Table tennis training base.

After the Chinese national table tennis team announced the list of players who qualified for the 2009 ITTF year-end finals at the beginning of the month, the International Table Tennis Federation announced the final list of participants today. Compared with the previous list, the biggest change is in the men's singles.

Some table tennis superstars withdrew from the competition, such as Europe's Old Sa and Ryuo Country's Naganuma Atsushi.

The Xia team is led by Li Ying and includes six players including Ma Qing, Kong Fengge, Liang Long, Xu Guinian and Su Yan.

There is no change in the women's singles contestants. The Xia national team is led by the post-90s young player Wang Xianlan, and the women's table tennis devil, Ji Chuanxia is still not on the list.

According to the ITTF regulations, only players who have participated in at least five tournaments this year, or in at least three continents, are eligible to participate in the singles finals. Only players who have participated in at least four tournaments with the same player are eligible to participate in the doubles finals. Therefore, Xia Guo's Meng Li, the Great Demon King and others failed to qualify for the finals.

In the men's singles, Atsushi Naganuma and Satoshi Nagata, who were originally ranked high in the points, withdrew from the competition. They were replaced by Zhao Dongyuan from Hong Kong and Sun Guanqing from Formosa.

As the defending champion and the player with the most points in this year's tour, Li Ying is the favorite to win the championship.

Other players from Xia Guo who have been shortlisted for the men's singles include Ma Qing, Kong Fengge, Liang Long, Xu Guinian and Su Yan.

No one from Xiaguo participated in the men's doubles competition.

Because the Xia national team does not have a fixed men's doubles combination.

The unicorn, dragon, phoenix and tortoise are often paired randomly.

In this case.

The Xia Guo table tennis team doesn't care that they are not qualified to participate in the men's doubles competition.

In the women's singles, Xia Guo has four players participating. Wang Xianlan, who ranks first in the tour points and is also the new World Cup champion, is the biggest favorite to win the championship. Qiao Yuning and Xu Mingyue also have chances to win the championship. There is also a young female singles player who is participating in this kind of competition for the first time.

Among them, Wang Xianlan will partner with Qiao Yuning to participate in the women's doubles competition.

Xia Country is undoubtedly the largest team in this competition, with a total of 6 participants, including 4 men and 10 women. But it is worth mentioning that Germany will also have 10 players participating in the competition, which is not inferior to Xia Country in terms of the number of participants. At that time, they will definitely pose the greatest threat to the Xia Country team.

then.

The focus of the national table tennis team is to prepare for the year-end finals.

The year-end finals will still be held in Haojiang.

The fight started on January 2010, 1.

Time is long.

New Year's Eve soon arrived.

And this year's New Year's Eve.

Li Ying once again came to Wang Xianlan's villa in the imperial capital.

Although Li Ying really wanted to live alone with Wang Xianlan, it was impossible.

finally.

Li Ying could only come as a guest upon invitation.

of course.
