Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 135 Moscow World Table Tennis Team Championships
Li Ying's dormitory.

In the living room.

On the sofa, Li Ying and Wang Xianlan hugged each other and watched the Asia-Europe Table Tennis All-Star Match on TV together.

Since Li Ying was not invited, Wang Xianlan had no interest in participating. The women's team was naturally happy to go with the flow. In this case, Wang Xianlan did not participate in this All-Star Game.

at this time.

The first day of the Asia-Europe Table Tennis All-Star Competition begins!

"It's a small win. This game is interesting. In the All-Star Showdown, each table tennis superstar only plays in one game, and the winner is decided by best-of-ten games!" Wang Xianlan said with a smile.

"In this case, the Asian All-Star team may not be able to win!" Li Ying said with a smile.

of course.

Because he is not participating in the competition, no matter whether the Asian All-Star team or the European All-Star team wins, it has nothing to do with Li Ying.

In this case.

Li Ying can watch the game from a completely neutral stance.

finally.

Five games played.

The European All-Star team took a 3-2 lead.

The only two winners were Liang Long and Kong Fengge.

At the home court of the imperial capital.

Neither Liang Long nor Kong Fengge disappointed the fans who came from afar to support them.

but.

The other three superstars of the Asian All-Star team did not perform well.

After watching the game.

Li Ying sent Wang Xianlan back to the dormitory.

Wang Xianlan still lives in the dormitory now. Of course, because of her achievements, she can enjoy the treatment of a single room.

but.

But he could never compare to Li Ying.

At last.

The second All-Star Game also ended at the Yuetan Stadium in the imperial capital.

The Asian All-Star Team lost the game again.

finally.

In the best-of-ten-game match, the European All-Star team took the lead by winning six games.

All of a sudden.

The organizer of the event was directly attacked online.

all of these.

It’s all because Li Ying was not invited!
During training.

Chen Daqian smiled and said, "Aying, have you seen the public opinion online?"

Li Ying laughed and said, "I think the most innocent ones are Brother Long and Feng Ge. They clearly won, but they were still scolded!"

As soon as these words came out.

Liang Long and Kong Fengge looked at Li Ying with great resentment.

See their expressions.

Li Ying was very 'angry'.

"What does it have to do with me if you two get scolded?"

Li Ying said angrily.

"Humph, these netizens who scolded our main force and ridiculed us are all your die-hard fans!"

Kong Fengge snorted coldly.

Li Ying was speechless.

"I can't control them, so don't blame me. You can only blame yourself for being unlucky, there's nothing we can do!" Li Ying laughed gloatingly.

Liang Long: “???”

He couldn't have imagined that Li Ying would completely shirk responsibility.

At this moment.

The Chinese table tennis team is making full preparations for the World Table Tennis Championships to be held in Moscow in May.

The five main players participating in the team competition, Li Ying, Kong Fengge, Liang Long, Meng Li and Xu Guinian, are all undergoing closed special training.

this stage.

Wang Xianlan seemed to have nothing to do.

Every day, they just trained silently under the guidance of Hou Bingguang and did not participate in the collective training of the women's team.

time flies.

soon.

Then we came to the Moscow World Table Tennis Championships team competition.

A large group of Chinese table tennis players boarded a plane and flew to Moscow, the capital of the polar bear country.

This time.

Chen Daqian and Li Ying sat together.

"Aying, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing Li Ying's serious expression, Chen Daqian couldn't help but ask.

"Humph, the women's team went too far and didn't even allow Wang Xianlan to join the team. As a result, Wang Xianlan could only take her family's private plane to Moscow in tears."

Li Ying whispered in Chen Daqian's ear.

After hearing the first words, Chen Daqian felt indignant for Wang Xianlan.

But after listening.

Suddenly, Chen Daqian didn't want to say anything.

but.

With Wang Xianlan's family background, buying a private jet would be absolutely no problem at all.

But Wang Xianlan has never seemed so special.

After getting off the plane, take a bus to the hotel.

Because she was not traveling with the team, Wang Xianlan, accompanied by Wang Xiqing and Lan Qiongzhi, directly booked the most luxurious presidential suite in the hotel.

Li Ying put the suitcase in the room and went directly to the presidential suite on the top floor.

As soon as you enter the house.

Li Ying kept exclaiming: "This presidential suite is still the most comfortable to live in."

Wang Xianlan was feeling a little depressed, but she felt better after seeing Li Ying coming.

He smiled and said directly: "If you don't feel comfortable living with Brother Qian, then you can come and live here. There are plenty of rooms in the presidential suite anyway."

Li Ying smiled and refused, saying, "Forget it, don't make it too difficult for the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang."

Li Ying is not so special now.

not to mention.

Ma Qing, Su Yan, Liu Geng, Dou Yang and even the three young masters of 92 all came to Moscow together.

Li Ying didn't want to ruin his relationship with the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang because of this.

After chatting with Wang Xianlan, Wang Xiqing and Lan Qiongzhi for a while, Li Ying returned to his room.

Chen Daqian didn't even ask.

Because he had guessed it.

"Aying, according to the draw on April 4, our Xiaguo national table tennis team is in Group A. Each group has table tennis teams from six countries. In the group stage, our Xiaguo men's team will play five rounds and compete against every national table tennis team!"

Chen Daqian smiled.

"It's a group round-robin tournament, this is normal." Li Ying said with a smile.

"After the group round-robin matches, the top two teams will advance to the top eight based on the results, followed by the men's team top four, the men's team semi-finals, and the men's team finals!" Chen Daqian said with a smile.

"The overall strength of our Group A is not very strong." Li Ying also looked at the previous draw list.

"If we qualify from the group stage, there will be no problem. But what happens after that can't be underestimated!" Chen Daqian said with a smile.

That being said.

But Chen Daqian didn't believe that Li Ying would fail in such a team competition.

night.

Inside the hotel.

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang convened a meeting with the men's team coaching staff, men's team players and other team members.

The meeting begins.

Men's team head coach Dong Yaobang said solemnly: "The format of this team competition is five singles matches. And our Xiaguo men's table tennis team will send out a team composed of five main players this time."

"So I just discussed with the coaches. For this team competition, all five main players of the Xia National Men's Team will play. In other words, everyone will have one chance."

"In the group round-robin tournament, I will give you a chance to play, but whether you can seize the opportunity depends on you."

"Then, when the group round-robin matches are over, your starting roster will be determined based on your performance in the group round-robin matches."

"I also have no problem saying that this World Table Tennis Championships team competition is to select players for the team competition at the London Olympics."

"So, I hope you all think clearly. Now you are in this foreign country, wearing the Xia country uniform. You are not fighting for yourselves, but for Xia country!"

As soon as these words came out.

Except Li Ying.

Kong Fengge, Liang Long, Xu Guinian, and Meng Li all changed their expressions.

Because so far.

Only Li Ying had never lost a foreign war.

But there are precedents of losing foreign wars.

Then.

Now the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang has made it clear that they all have opportunities to play. According to Dong Yaobang's temper, he will only let Li Ying play twice unless the situation becomes particularly critical.

if not.

The five main players all got the opportunity to play and fight for the country.

but.

If we lose the game, the consequences will be disastrous.

this moment.

All four of their main players felt the pressure.

At this moment.

Seeing the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang working so hard on the five main players, Ma Qing, Su Yan, Liu Geng, Dou Yang and even the three young players from 92 who did not get the chance to participate, all felt fortunate.

of course.

If there is really a chance to fight for the country, then even if it means fighting to the death, I will win glory for the country.

Return to the room.

Li Ying laughed and said, "Brother Qian, your coaching staff is really ruthless."

Chen Daqian smiled and said, "All of this is for the sake of fairness. Otherwise, I would just send you out twice, and then you would only need to win one of the remaining three games. But this would not have the effect of honing the other main players!"

"Aying, the world of table tennis is changing rapidly nowadays. This time, the teams that pose the greatest threat to us are still Germany, Ryu-in and Korea. As for Hong Kong, Macao and Formosa, although they have three table tennis geniuses!"

"But I think it will be hard for them to win if they compete with the national team. Of course, unless their core players can win both times, then they will have a chance to win!"

As the coach of the Xia national table tennis men's team, Chen Daqian's status and position have risen among many coaches because of Li Ying.

In addition, Chen Daqian retired as an athlete with brilliant achievements and became a coach of the national team directly. Among all coaches, he had the most brilliant athletic career.

In this case.

Whether it is Qin Yucheng, Liao Huazhong, or Wu Weijin, it is now difficult for them to fight against Chen Daqian.

In this case.

If there really is a day.

If Dong Yaobang, the head coach of the men's team, resigns and is promoted to the head coach of the national team, then Chen Daqian will be the best candidate to take over as the head coach of the men's team.

Li Ying kept nodding.

Li Ying also agreed with Chen Daqian's analysis.

Although Hong Kong, Macau and Formosa have introduced three table tennis geniuses, Zhao Dongyuan, Qian Zhongtian and Sun Guanqing, they are still unable to compete with the national team in the 2010 Moscow World Table Tennis Team Championships.

of course.

A ping-pong ball is round.

In the game of table tennis, anything is possible.

5 month 23 day.

late at night.

In the first round of the men's team, it was finally the turn of the Xiaguo national table tennis team.

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang leads the five main players: Li Ying, Kong Fengge, Liang Long, Xu Guinian and Meng Li.

at this time.

This is the first competition of the Xiaguo national table tennis team in the 2010 Moscow World Table Tennis Team Championships.

When the Xiaguo national table tennis team came out, the stadium was filled with thunderous cheers.

According to the previous draw.

Kong Fengge, Liang Long, Xu Guinian and Meng Li have to draw lots for the order of appearance, because the athletes who draw the fourth or fifth place may not have the opportunity to appear.

And Lee wins.

As the leader of the national table tennis team, Li Ying must appear.

Li Ying was the first player to appear on the Xia national table tennis team.

Li Ying quickly defeated the French athletes with a score of 3-0.

It was so easy that Li Ying didn't even sweat.

After Li Ying left the court.

Xu Guinian was the second to appear.

Monri is the third one.

Liang Long and Kong Fengge had bad luck and appeared fourth and fifth respectively.

In this case.

If Xu Guinian and Meng Li won, they would not have the chance to play in the game, because the Xiaguo national table tennis team won directly 3:0.

The four people in the audience sat quietly on both sides of Dong Yaobang.

at this time.

Whenever Xu Guinian plays a brilliant ball.

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang and Li Ying, Liang Long, Kong Fengge and Meng Li all stood up to cheer for Xu Guinian.

That’s what team competition is all about.

Because in Li Ying's previous games, every time Li Ying hit a magical shot, as long as he turned around, he could see his four teammates, led by the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang, cheering for him.

That kind of incomparable feeling is indescribable.

Because now we are all comrades in the same trench, fighting for the Xia Kingdom.

Because this time the 2010 Moscow World Table Tennis Team Championships is a team competition.

finally.

Xu Guinian defeated his opponent with a score of 3 to 1.

In this case.

In the big score.

Xia Guo took a 2-0 lead.

Seeing this scene, Kong Fengge couldn't help but wail: "Hey, looking at the current situation, Aaron and I are going to win without doing anything."

Liang Long was also helpless.

But no way.

My teammates are very awesome.

at this time.

We can only hope that we can be drawn into the second or third place in the next group round-robin match.

if not.

Then I can only cheer for my teammates off the court in every game.

In the group round-robin tournament.

The Xiaguo team won all of them with a score of 3-0.

It looks like so far.

It is simply difficult for the Xia country men's team to lose.

of course.

The women's team also made great progress.

every day.

Li Yingdu came back to comfort Wang Xianlan.

Tell Wang Xianlan not to worry.

Let the bullets fly for a while.

Wait until the group round-robin match is over.

The Chinese table tennis coaching team is having a bit of a headache.

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang summoned many coaches.

"Let's talk about it. How should we deploy our troops for the next game?"

Dong Yaobang said in a deep voice.

"Let Li Ying play first and win the first battle. Then, I suggest sending Kong Fengge as the second one, and Liang Long, Xu Guinian, or Meng Li as the third one. If the third and fourth ones fail, then Li Ying must be sent as the fifth one!"

Qin Yucheng said in a deep voice.

As soon as these words came out.

The other coaches nodded in agreement.

"In that case, let's send Mengli as the third one!"

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang made the final decision.

As soon as these words came out.

Qin Yucheng felt sad.

It is clear.

In this direct competition between Diplodocus and Monli, Diplodocus does not have an advantage because it has been defeated by Monli many times.

after all.

If you send out Liang Long, Meng Li will definitely feel dissatisfied.

not to mention.

Meng Lina was also the core player of the previous generation of the national table tennis team.

And the current technical level is still online.
