Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 133 2010 Asian Cup, Asian Table Tennis Federation's targeting, fierce battle between Lin, Long and Feng in the upper half
After playing the German Open.

Liang Long and Kong Fengge came to Yangcheng in Lingnan.

Because the Xia Guo national table tennis team decided to send three main players of the national table tennis team, Li Ying, Liang Long and Kong Fengge, to participate in the 2010 Table Tennis Asian Cup held in Yangcheng this year.

The Asian Cup adopts an invitational system, and there are only 16 places for the main competition. The Xia national table tennis team was able to occupy three of them, which is very good.

To know.

Many countries have national table tennis teams, but there is not a single table tennis player.

As for the women's team.

It was led by Wang Xianlan, and participated by Qiao Yuning and Xu Mingyue.

originally.

According to rumors, the women's team is not planning to register Wang Xianlan, but there is no way because Wang Xianlan was the Asian Cup champion last year.

finally.

The Asian Table Tennis Executive Committee disagreed, so Wang Xianlan was able to participate.

Can be imagined.

The power struggle among the women's team coaching staff has now reached a fever pitch, and it's almost like a direct bayonet fight.

Liang Long and Kong Fengge came to Guangzhou, and the national table tennis coaching team also arrived and temporarily borrowed the Lingnan provincial team training base to participate in training.

at this time.

The national table tennis coaching staff suddenly realized that Li Ying's status in the Lingnan provincial team was really too high.

Because everyone in the Lingnan provincial team spoiled Li Ying and treated him like a king.

soon.

The time has come to September 3th.

The draw ceremony for the Asian Cup begins.

If the draw is held, there is naturally no need for Li Ying to go to the scene. These are the tasks that the head coach of the national table tennis team should do.

not to mention.

Like the draw for the Asian Cup, the sixteen contestants are divided into four groups.

among them.

The principle of avoidance of athletes from the same country means that Li Ying, Liang Long and Kong Fengge will not be in the same group.

In this case.

This means that everyone has a chance to reach the quarterfinals.

But whether they can all make it to the semi-finals will depend on the head-to-head battles after the quarter-finals.

finally.

Li Ying is in Group A.

Diplodocus is in Group B.

Kong Fengge is in Group C.

and.

There are so many superstars participating in this competition.

Zhao Dongyuan, Qian Zhongtian and Sun Guanqing naturally also participated.

There are also Tomoaki Furukawa and Yosuke Matsudaira from Ryuo Country, Lee Jin-won and Park Kwang-ho from Goryeo Country.

It can be said that there are no weak teams in the top 16.

This Asian Cup is star-studded and is not much different from the global world championships.

of course.

This is just the draw for the group stage.

After the group round-robin matches, there will be a draw for the quarterfinals.

Until then.

The top 8 players will be divided into the upper and lower halves.

3 month 26 number.

From 9:00 to 18:00, capital time, it is the group round-robin competition for men's and women's singles.

During this period, the top two teams in each group will be decided and they will become the quarterfinals of this Asian Cup.

then.

19:00-23:00会进行男女单打1/4决赛。

After the afternoon game.

In the end, Li Ying defeated Qian Zhongtian, who was second only to him in the group, and thus successfully advanced as the first in the group.

but.

As for Qian Zhongtian, he successfully won the second place in the group and joined hands with Li Ying to enter the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup.

Li Ying put the table tennis racket into the bag. Chen Daqian smiled and said, "The group stage was not easy. You can imagine that the Asian Cup will be difficult!"

Li Ying smiled and said: "This Asian Cup is full of gold content. Every player can be said to be a superstar in table tennis, so it is naturally not easy to play. At least, it is not like an open tournament. The first and second rounds will be very easy."

"You, Liang Long, and Kong Fengge have all successfully entered the top eight. The draw for the top eight will be held soon. Do you want to go eat something?" Chen Daqian knew that Li Ying must be hungry.

nowadays.

Li Ying doesn't even need to activate the 'Unlimited Energy' entry to defeat ordinary table tennis superstars.

but.

The food in the Asian Cup stadium cafeteria is very delicious, and Li Ying doesn't mind trying it.

after all.

Looking across the entire Xia Kingdom, everyone knows that the best food is in Lingnan.

It can be said.

There is no food that people from Lingnan dare not eat.

Li Ying grew up in Lingnan, so his taste is more Lingnan-style. Of course, since his hometown is in the southwest, Li Ying can also eat spicy food and likes to eat hotpot.

Immediately.

Chen Daqian accompanied Li Ying to the cafeteria for dinner.

When you come back.

Li Ying immediately noticed the expression on the face of the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang, which was very bad.

at this time.

Li Ying looked at the draw for the quarterfinals shown on the big screen on the wall.

one look.

I immediately understood why the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang was so angry.

"That's interesting. The three of us are actually in the top half!"

When Li Ying saw the match schedule, he immediately found it very interesting.

"Humph, someone is really going too far. Over the years, we have only focused on our own internal affairs and seem to have neglected the movements of the Asian Table Tennis Federation and the International Table Tennis Federation."

Dong Yaobang, the head coach of the men's team, said indignantly.

The Asian Table Tennis Federation's move is clearly targeted.

after all.

There are only three players from Xia Country who entered the quarterfinals.

result.

All in the upper half.

Li Ying saw the first match of the quarterfinals, against Tomoaki Furukawa.

Then in another quarterfinal match in the upper half, Liang Long and Kong Fengge fought against each other.

then.

Li Ying will definitely win.

Then he will have to fight with the winner between Liang Long and Kong Fengge to enter the finals.

The situation in the lower half was equally tragic.

Zhao Dongyuan, Qian Zhongtian, Sun Guanqing, and Li Zhenyuan fought against each other, but whoever stood out in the end would get a chance to challenge Li Ying.

It can be said.

This draw directly shattered the dream of men's team head coach Dong Yaobang that the Xia Guo and Chinese national table tennis teams would successfully meet in the final.

After all, Xia Guo’s Qilin, Zhenlong, and Tianfeng are all in the upper half, so how could they possibly make it to the finals?

but.

Starts at 19:.

The quarter-finals begin.

at this time.

The head coach of the men's team, Dong Yaobang, said to Chen Daqian, "Daqian, I'll be the off-field guard for Ah Ying!"

Another matchup in the upper half is between Liang Long and Kong Fengge. As the head coach of the men's team, Dong Yaobang naturally cannot leave the court for either of them.

exactly.

Li Ying's opponent is Tomoaki Furukawa, who has been on a strong momentum recently.

and so.

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang decided to vent his anger on Tomoaki Furukawa.

Chen Daqian smiled and said, "Okay."

Chen Daqian didn't care at all.

Anyway, no matter whether he or Dong Yaobang went outside the court, their only function was to pass water to Li Ying. As for any tactical guidance, Li Ying didn't need it at all.

even.

In Li Ying's mind, he understands how to defeat the opponent better than the coach off the court.

and so.

Chen Daqian did not hesitate.

then.

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang personally provided off-court guidance to Li Ying.

And the other side.

Serving as an off-court coach with Tomoaki Furukawa, Yusuke Fujimoto is also the head coach of the Ryuo National Men's Team and an old rival of the Xia National Table Tennis Team.

at this time.

He was indignant when he saw Dong Yaobang personally take action.

"Furukawa-kun, we must show Xia Nation a lesson today. Even if we cannot defeat them, we must show off our might in this competition venue!"

Ryuo national team head coach Fujimoto Yusuke felt that Dong Yaobang was too bullying.

Originally, Tomoaki Furukawa had never defeated Li Ying.

The result is today.

Dong Yaobang actually came to personally serve as off-field coach.

It was obvious that they were here to bully them, the master and the disciple.

My uncle can tolerate such behavior, but my aunt cannot.

and so.

Fujimoto Yusuke felt that Dong Yaobang was simply abominable.

Furukawa Tomoaki nodded heavily.

He knew very well in his heart that he had become a tool given by the Asian Table Tennis Federation to vent the anger of the Xia national table tennis team.

But that's why.

Tomoaki Furukawa was unwilling.

The reason why he left Xia Country was because he found it difficult to make a name for himself in the Xia Country national table tennis team.

Can bear fruit.

Even if he left Xiaguo, it seemed that the Xiaguo national table tennis team still became his nightmare.

after all.

In the world of table tennis, the Xia Kingdom has been a superpower in the sport since it took over the dominant position from Europe a long time ago.

Any game involving table tennis will never be free from the influence of Xia Guo.

The same is true for the Asian Cup.

but.

In Tomoaki Furukawa's heart, he gave a thumbs up to the Asian Table Tennis Federation's actions.

To deal with the Xia Guo national table tennis team, this method should be adopted, allowing the Xia Guo national table tennis team members to engage in a very brutal internal fight, which will in turn expose many skills and tactics.

In this case.

Provide a more perfect research data to table tennis associations around the world, and then defeat the Xiaguo national table tennis team as soon as possible.

after all.

Today, the Xia country's national table tennis team is at its peak, completely invincible, dominating the world and making it difficult for table tennis associations around the world to breathe.

then.

Tomoaki Furukawa swore in his heart that he would give Dong Yaobang and Li Ying a good warning.

only.

Dreams are always beautiful.

However, the reality is very cruel.

Li Ying knew that the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang was angry today.

That's the case.

Then vent this anger and resentment on Tomoaki Furukawa.

Although this is a bit cruel for Tomoaki Furukawa.

But there is no way.

Li Ying was also helpless.

after all.

He also had to please the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang.

then.

Li Ying was completely on fire, showing unlimited energy from the first game.

So at the end of the first game, Tomoaki Furukawa was directly shut out, giving Tomoaki Furukawa a big zero.

The next three games.

Tomoaki Furukawa must find ways to score points from Li Ying to avoid continuing to score zero points. Otherwise, if he scores zero points in this kind of Asian Cup, then after this game, the Ryuying National Table Tennis Team will probably become a zero-point team.

at this time.

Tomoaki Furukawa tried his best and finally avoided being shut out in the next three games.

After the game.

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang is very satisfied with Li Ying.

Patted Li Ying's shoulder vigorously.

"Aying, you must be tired. Drink more sports drinks!"

At this moment.

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang couldn't understand what the women's team head coach was thinking.

He has Li Ying under him, but the women's team has Wang Xianlan.

Wang Xianlan's winning rate remains very high, especially in foreign wars.

Of course, these thoughts were quickly left behind by the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang.

Li Ying easily swept Furukawa Tomoaki 4-0.

the other side.

The battle between Liang Long and Kong Fengge has not yet ended, and the score is only 2 to 1. It seems that Kong Fengge is leading.

then.

Li Ying and Dong Yaobang found Chen Daqian and watched the game from the sidelines.

"The competition between the two of them is indeed very tense!"

At this time, Chen Daqian said with a smile.

"They are all in the national team and they know each other very well. It is really hard to tell who will win in a short period of time. Besides, Liang Long today is not the Liang Long of the past."

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang said with a smile.

Li Ying was still drinking sports drinks. After all, in order to shut out Tomoaki Furukawa, Li Ying had to keep activating the unlimited energy item to burn the accumulated fat, which was too energy-consuming.

He just listened to the conversation between the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang and the head coach Chen Daqian in silence.

And finally.

After seven hard-fought games.

Kong Fengge defeated Liang Long.

but.

The score differences are very small.

There is only a 2-point difference.

It can be said.

It can be said that Liang Long lost narrowly.

After the game, Liang Long smiled bitterly and kept shaking his head, but there was nothing he could do.

but.

At this moment, Liang Long was not too depressed or lost.

because.

He tried his best.

even.

After the game.

When Kong Fengge came over to applaud, Liang Long was very generous and gave Kong Fengge a hug.

"Come on, have a good rest today, you have to beat Aying tomorrow!"

Liang Long laughed.

After these words were spoken, Kong Fengge's joy at finally winning after a hard fight seemed to fade a little.

Lower half.

Zhao Dongyuan and Li Zhenyuan successfully entered the men's singles semi-finals.

At this moment.

Li Yingze had already returned to the room with Chen Daqian.

"Could it be that Li Zhenyuan is going to play the dark horse this time?"

Li Ying smiled.

"Although he defeated Sun Guanqing, it will probably be difficult for him to get past Zhao Dongyuan!" Chen Daqian said with a smile.

then.

What Li Ying said to Wang Xianlan.

"Little win!"

Wang Xianlan was particularly happy when she received Li Ying's call.

"I see that you have also made it to the women's singles semi-finals. You are in the upper half and Qiao Yuning is in the lower half. If nothing unexpected happens, you two should meet in the finals!" Li Ying said with a smile.

As for Xu Mingyue, she failed to make it into the quarterfinals.

"The women's singles semi-finals will be held tomorrow. I hope to meet her. In this way, no matter who wins or loses, at least the champion and runner-up of the Asian Cup women's singles will belong to Xiaguo."

Wang Xianlan smiled and said, "But your men's team has bad luck in the draw. The three of you are actually in the upper half."

Li Ying smiled helplessly and said, "The Asian Table Tennis Federation doesn't want to see the men's singles finals let the Xia country and the Chinese table tennis team successfully meet, so what can we do?"

"Then do your best tomorrow. Your opponent is Kong Fengge." Wang Xianlan cheered for Li Ying.

"Well, I know. Then you should go to bed early!"

There is a game tomorrow, so it is impossible for us to chat on the phone until late.

After hanging up the phone, Li Ying washed up and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

And in Kong Fengge's room.

Kong Fengge couldn't fall asleep.

In the same room with him was his head coach Liao Huazhong.

"Feng Ge, don't think too much. There really is no better way to defeat Li Ying, so you can only take the stupid approach and just rush in. Anyway, you are all familiar with each other."

Liao Huazhong said with a smile.

"Hey, I was wondering, is it true that none of us can defeat Li Ying in his lifetime?"

Kong Fengge was thinking a little further.

Anyway, I just can’t sleep because of insomnia.

"That's impossible. Li Ying will be defeated sooner or later, and I firmly believe that the person who will bring Li Ying's first defeat will be you!" Liao Huazhong said firmly.

Liao Huazhong's extremely firm attitude greatly encouraged Kong Fengge's heart. Kong Fengge soon stopped suffering from insomnia and fell into a deep sleep.
