Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 132: Wang Xianlan was not selected for the women's team, Liang Long broke the curse and defeated Meng Li

In this case.

All three stages of the direct-to-Moscow qualifying tournament held by the Chinese men's table tennis team have ended.

Li Ying, Xu Guinian and Kong Fengge each got a direct ticket.

As for the men's team, five players will be sent to participate in the World Table Tennis Championships team competition held in Moscow.

Then.

As for the remaining two places, Liang Long, Meng Li and Ma Qing were not selected.

at this time.

It can be said.

The problem was handed over to the coaching staff.

of course.

Li Ying doesn't need to worry about these.

But that doesn’t mean Li Ying is in a good mood.

because.

The women's team did not go through three rounds of selection, and in the end, based on the results, Wang Xianlan was not selected for the women's team.

and.

There are only four official members of the women's team.

Among them are Xu Mingyue, Ji Chuanxia and Qiao Yuning.

but.

The women's team could have sent out five players, just like the men's team, but they only chose four.

this moment.

Wang Xianlan couldn't bear it any longer.

In Li Ying's dormitory.

Wang Xianlan hid in Li Ying's arms and sobbed.

Li Ying is extremely distressed now.

"It's okay, it's a blessing, not a curse. I think it might be a good thing for you!"

Li Ying smiled.

After hearing this, Wang Xianlan was a little confused. She looked at Li Ying with her big, bright eyes.

"What if, I mean what if, the women's team fails in Moscow, then the women's team may usher in the darkest period in its history. By then, you will not be in it, but will be able to avoid this storm!" Li Ying said lightly.

Wang Xianlan was still confused.

Li Ying smiled and said, "If you didn't play, to be honest, with these four players on the women's team, I feel it would be very difficult to play against the Singapore women's team!"

Currently.

The women's team has four main opponents.

The women's team of Singapore Island, the women's team of Ryuying, the women's team of Goryeo, and the women's team of Germany. It can be said that on a global scale, the only four teams that can truly compete with the women's team of Xia Country are these four teams.

of course.

The women's teams in places like Hong Kong, Macao and even Formosa are equally strong and are qualified and capable of competing with the Chinese women's table tennis team.

But to the outside world, it is indeed the women's table tennis teams of these four countries that pose the greatest threat to the Xia national table tennis women's team.

"Xiaoying, do you think they will lose?"

At this moment, Wang Xianlan didn't doubt Li Ying's words at all.

Because of the past, Li Ying has proved with countless facts that what Li Ying said is true.

"So, I think it's a good thing not to participate in the Moscow World Table Tennis Championships. After all, it's a team competition, and the women's table tennis coaching staff is deliberately targeting you."

Li Ying smiled.

After hearing what Li Ying said, Wang Xianlan felt a little better.

"Don't go online these days. You also have a lot of haters, and the pace will definitely be very fast!" Li Ying said with a smile.

Wang Xianlan nodded slightly.

at the same time.

In the coaching staff of the national table tennis men's team.

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang called together all the coaches of the national team.

The meeting was chaired by national team head coach Cai Zhenxia.

"Every coach has one vote, including me. There are only three candidates: Liang Long, Meng Li, and Ma Qing. The coaching staff will vote."

It is really difficult to decide, because at present, Mengli and Ma Qing are in good condition, and Liang Long has also risen recently.

In this case.

The coaching staff really had a hard time deciding.

Originally, the coaching staff's inner estimate of the list was Li Ying, Kong Fengge, Liang Long, Meng Li and Ma Qing.

In this case.

I can only let Xu Guinian down for now.

What the national table tennis coaching staff never expected was that Xu Guinian actually broke through the siege in the second stage of the direct qualifying tournament to Moscow.

In this case.

After Li Ying, the second through ticket was obtained.

Now.

Why not leave the problem to the coaching staff?

Because of this.

One of Liang Long, Meng Li and Ma Qing is bound to be eliminated.

Mengli and Ma Qing were the absolute main force of the previous generation of the Xia national table tennis team, and their talents were feared throughout the world.

As for Liang Long, he is the one that the new generation of the national table tennis team is focusing on training.

If it weren't for Li Ying's sudden rise, the Xia country's national table tennis team would have been promoting Long, Feng, and Gui. Obviously, they were all training Liang Long to be the future captain of the national table tennis team.

and so.

In this situation, even the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang could not act arbitrarily.

Ultimately, a democratic vote is taken.

In this case.

All the national team coaches vote, so whoever is ultimately eliminated can be said to be a collective decision made by the coaching staff, and the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang does not have to take the blame.

Votes will be counted quickly.

finally.

Liang Long and Meng Li were valued by the coaching staff, but Ma Qing was not selected for the Moscow World Table Tennis Championships team competition.

Morning meeting.

Men's team head coach Dong Yaobang officially announced: "After weighing and considering the coaching staff, it was finally decided that Meng Li and Liang Long will join Li Ying, Xu Guinian and Kong Fengge to form our Xia Guo national table tennis team for the Moscow World Table Tennis Championships!"

The words fell.

Among the crowd, Ma Qing inevitably showed a hint of frustration on his face.

Who would have thought.

It's only been a short time, not even two years.

From winning the men's singles championship at the Beijing Olympics to now not even being able to become a main player in the team competition.

This moment.

Ma Qing felt mixed emotions.

"In March, the national table tennis team will have two important competitions. One is the German Open, and the other is the Asian Cup held in Guangzhou. As for the Volkswagen Commercial Competition in between, it is up to the individual to decide whether to participate. If you want to participate, apply to the head coach!"

"The German Open entry list will be announced soon after the coaching staff discusses it. Now, let's start training!"

After the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang's routine speech, daily training began.

among them.

Li Ying and sparring partner Lin Wangyuan came to the table.

now.

Lin Wangyuan asked curiously: "Brother Ying, are you going to participate in the German Open?"

"I don't really want to. I don't have much interest in open tournaments right now. As for the Asian Cup, I can go and have fun. The competition will be held in Guangzhou anyway." Li Ying said with a smile.

just now.

Winning the men's singles championship in an open tournament can no longer improve one's strength points, so Li Ying is not very interested in it.

Hearing the conversation between Li Ying and Lin Wangyuan, Chen Daqian said with a smile: "A Ying, are you really not going to participate in the German Open?"

Chen Daqian always believed that Li Ying would definitely participate.

Li Ying shook his head slightly.

"There's not much point in training by participating in this kind of open tournament. Instead of traveling abroad, I might as well train at home!"

Chen Daqian nodded, he understood.

Chen Daqian quickly told the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang about Li Ying's idea.

Dong Yaobang didn't say much either.

after all.

Li Ying can win the championship as long as he participates in the competition. It is normal that Li Ying doesn't look down on the men's singles championship in an open tournament.

Moreover, this is a good thing for Dong Yaobang, the head coach of the men's team.

In this case, there is no need to consider too much about the national table tennis team's lineup.

finally.

Liang Long, Meng Li, Kong Fengge and others all participated in the German Open.

It can be said.

As for the Xiaguo national table tennis team, except for Li Ying, almost all other main players are included.

It is clear.

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang wants to use the German Open to train his players.

Practice through competition.

On March 3, a large group of Chinese table tennis players rushed to Germany, including almost the entire coaching staff.

and.

The team was led by the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang.

In this case.

There are not many people left at the national table tennis training base.

Saw this scene.

Li Ying took Lin Wangyuan directly back to Lingnan.

because.

On March 3, the Asian Cup will be held in Yangcheng, Lingnan.

In this case, the training of the Lingnan provincial team will be exactly the same.

even.

After returning to the provincial team.

Meng Enming smiled and said, "Aying, if you have nothing to do, you can definitely come to the provincial team for training. I can guarantee that you will not have a better time in the national team than in our Lingnan provincial team. In short, you are the boss here."

Hearing this, Lin Wangyuan smiled and said, "Coach Meng, Brother Ying is on the national team, so he is also the top player."

nowadays.

Lin Wangyuan is already 15 years old and serves as a sparring partner for Li Ying. His table tennis skills have made great progress.

In the current Lingnan team, he is fully qualified to compete with Yu Xuejian for the title of the third brother of the Lingnan provincial team.

The number one man in Lingnan is Li Ying, and no one can compete with him.

The second brother of the Lingnan team is Ma Qing.

As for number three, Lin Wangyuan can now compete with Yu Xuejian.

Therefore, the Lingnan team is very strong now.

"That's different. In the national team, Ah Ying can't be the ultimate overlord, but in the Lingnan team, I promise you can!"

Meng Enming smiled.

Hearing what his mentor said, Li Ying laughed and said, "Teacher, please don't say that anymore. If it gets out, I'm afraid I will really become the Overlord of Lingnan!"

What Meng Enming said is also right.

During the training with the provincial team, Li Ying felt what it meant to be valued.

The entire provincial team can serve Li Ying.

Whatever Li Ying needed, someone from the provincial team would get it done immediately.

Li Ying is training with the Lingnan provincial team and is feeling very comfortable there.

After training every day, Li Ying did not stay in the provincial team dormitory, but went directly back to Wang Xianlan’s big villa in Yangcheng, Lingnan.

Li Ying will not participate in the German Open.

Same words.

Wang Xianlan also did not participate in the German Open.

Return to the villa.

Li Ying was very keenly aware that there was a hint of anger on Wang Xiqing's face.

"A Ying, tell me, what's going on? Why is Xianlan not on the women's team's roster for the World Table Tennis Championships?"

Today, the women's team officially announced the roster for the Moscow World Table Tennis Championships team competition, but surprisingly, Wang Xianlan was not selected.

When the news came out, there was an uproar in the Xia Kingdom.

At this moment.

Only then did Wang Xiqing know.

of course.

Wang Xiqing would definitely not lose his temper with Wang Xianlan.

Li Ying saw that Wang Xianlan was not there.

"Her mother called her into the room to comfort her!" Wang Xiqing explained.

"Nothing, probably affected by the power struggle among the women's table tennis team's top brass. Uncle, you know that Xianlan's head coach has always been ambitious to become the head coach of the women's team. I guess she has become a victim."

Li Ying now speaks very directly to Wang Xiqing.

When Wang Xiqing heard this, he immediately understood what was going on.

"It seems that I have sponsored the women's table tennis team with so much money every year for nothing. Even if it's just feeding a dog, they should be grateful!" Wang Xiqing said in a deep voice full of anger.

"Uncle, I think it might be a good thing. Good fortune and bad luck come from no door, but are brought upon oneself. Sometimes, good and bad luck go hand in hand." Li Ying said lightly.

As soon as these words came out.

With Wang Xiqing's intelligence, he instantly understood the deep meaning.

"Aying, do you think there's a chance that the women's team will lose?"

Wang Xiqing asked in a deep voice.

Li Ying maintained a mysterious smile.

"Now we can only wait and see!" Li Ying said with a smile.

Wang Xiqing nodded suddenly.

Since Li Ying said so, I won’t get angry for the time being.

Let’s wait until after the World Table Tennis Championships in May.

"Uncle, if you can suppress the public opinion online, please do so."

Li Ying could probably guess that Wang Xianlan was definitely affected today.

because.

During the afternoon training, Wang Xianlan was fine.

Li Ying trained overtime.

Two hours after returning, Wang Xiqing was so furious, it must be because of Wang Xianlan.

soon.

Wang Xianlan and her mother walked out of the room.

Only when she saw Li Ying coming back did Wang Xianlan stop crying and laugh. She felt happier and more cheerful after seeing Li Ying.

Then, Jijichazha shared with Li Ying the interesting things that happened during the provincial team training today.

Saw this scene.

Wang Xiqing and Wang Xianlan's mother looked at each other, and then they saw the same expression in each other's eyes.

Had dinner.

Li Ying, Wang Xianlan, Wang Xiqing, and Wang Xianlan’s mother were all sitting on the sofa.

Then, Wang Xianlan and Lan Qiongzhi went to the refrigerator to cut some fruit.

The family watched the men's singles final of the German Open together.

Both men's singles semi-finals were played between players from Xia Country. Liang Long eliminated Su Yan 4-1 (11-9, 6-11, 14-12, 23-21, 11-8), and Meng Li defeated Kong Fengge 4-0 (11-8, 11-9, 11-7, 11-9).

I didn't watch the women's singles match because I didn't want to touch on Wang Xianlan's sad story.

"I didn't expect that in the men's singles final, Liang Long would play against Meng Li. Ah Ying, do you think Liang Long can break the curse this time?"

At this moment, Wang Xiqing asked with interest.

As soon as these words came out.

Wang Xianlan and Lan Qiongzhi both looked at Li Ying.

Li Ying smiled and said, "What Brother Long said about this German Open is quite good. I think it is possible to defeat Brother Meng."

"After all, although Meng Ge restrains Long Ge, he is not like Long Ge who is naturally strong against Dimitri. Dimitri has never defeated Long Ge once. However, Long Ge's winning rate against Meng Li is not very low."

"In the past, in big competitions, Brother Long often couldn't beat Brother Meng. But this time, there might be hope!"

After hearing this, Wang Xiqing became interested.

"Really? But I think Monri is in pretty good shape too!"

"Dad, actually, their strengths are almost the same, just like our women's team. Didn't Qiao Yuning also lose in the women's singles final that just ended?" Wang Xianlan said with a smile.

Qiao Yuning lost the women's singles final, but did not lose the foreign match. Her opponent was also a member of the female table tennis team.

Moreover, he made it all the way to the finals from the qualifying round, continuing his dark horse status.

After falling behind 1-3, she won three consecutive games and defeated Qiao Yuning 4-3, winning the singles championship of an international open tournament for the first time.

finally.

Liang Long defeated his teammate Monri 4-1 (15-13, 8-11, 11-7, 11-6, 11-7) to win the first men's singles championship title of the season.
