Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 139: Li Ying is powerful but alone

Li Ying scored 1 point in singles.

Xu Guinian scored 1 point in singles.

Xu Guinian and Sun Guanqing scored 1 point in doubles.

The Magic City Crown Paradise Club won its first match so easily.

It didn't take Li Ying long to win the game.

but.

After the game, signing autographs and taking photos with fans actually took up too much time.

But no way.

Even though this is an away game, it was turned into a devilish home ground for Guanleyuan by Li Ying's fans.

Li Ying will not let down the fans who have always liked him.

Many fans come from far away, at least to satisfy the requirements of die-hard fans to chase their idols.

If possible, Li Ying would pamper his fans as much as possible.

It was not until late at night that Crown Paradise of Shanghai took a bus back to Shanghai.

On the journey back to Shanghai, Li Ying took out his mobile phone and surfed the Internet.

Wait until we get back to the five-star hotel in Magic City.

There was a familiar person in the room.

Li Ying was helpless.

"Brother Qian, you weren't kicked out of the house again, were you?"

Seeing this scene, Li Ying laughed jokingly.

"Isn't your 'again' a bit too much?"

Li Ying laughed and said, "But this is the truth!"

Chen Daqian was speechless.

"The first round of the Table Tennis Super League is really exciting. There are eight participating clubs and four rounds of matches. Although you have the live broadcast on the C-C Sports Channel, the table tennis channel broadcasts other important matches live, which is equally exciting to watch!" Chen Daqian said with a smile.

Li Ying looked at the TV.

It is clear.

Chen Daqian came to the room early and watched TV in the room.

"Indeed, other matches went to the deciding round, and the outcome was quite dramatic, unlike us. Maybe our ratings are the lowest!" Li Ying said with a smile.

"No, in terms of ratings, you have the highest." Chen Daqian shook his head slightly and smiled.

"kindness?"

Li Ying just couldn't understand.

"In your eyes, it's a must-win game, but table tennis fans don't see it that way," Chen Daqian said with a smile.

"Anyway, Brother Xu and Sun Guanqing will both play in a singles match, and then they will play in a doubles match. As long as they are not too useless, I don't believe we won't win any of those three matches."

In this regard, Li Ying has special confidence in Xu Guinian and Sun Guanqing.

"That's true. Your winning rate is really too terrifying. I don't even know when you will have your first defeat!" Chen Daqian said with a smile.

"I don't know either!" However, as long as there is a chance of winning, Li Ying will try his best to fight for it.

After chatting, I talked on the phone with Wang Xianlan for a long time.

"Small win, so annoying, first round of the Table Tennis Super League, what a pity."

Wang Xianlan's words were full of laziness and naivety.

At this moment.

Li Ying could even imagine what kind of astonished expression was on Wang Xianlan's face right across from him.

"I've seen the trending searches. You scored two points, but your teammates weren't very strong, and we ended up losing the game 2 to 3!" Li Ying said with a smile.

Compared to the men's team of the Table Tennis Super League, which has many superstars joining, every game is really extremely popular.

But the girl group seems to be lagging behind the boy group.

of course.

The main players of the women's first team and even many of the second team, including Asian female superstars, participate in the Table Tennis Super League, but in terms of star-studdedness, they naturally cannot catch up with the men's team.

"It's OK, there are still 15 games left."

Wang Xianlan comforted herself.

“But we must try our best to get into the top four to have a chance to compete for the championship!” Li Ying said with a smile.

After talking on the phone for a long time, Li Ying lay down to sleep.

Li Ying has always had a very regular schedule.

and.

Being able to enter deep sleep anytime and anywhere is Li Ying’s biggest killer, because it means that as long as Li Ying wants, he can get enough sleep anytime and anywhere.

No sleep loss before the World Series.

For athletes, deep sleep can be said to be a supreme skill.

The Table Tennis Super League went on one round after another, and time quickly came to the end of June.

at this time.

The Xiaguo VS World Table Tennis Team Challenge, organized by Volkswagen, was held in Shanghai.

From the Xia Kingdom.

Both the men's and women's teams sent out their full main lineups.

As for the women's team, it is led by the newly established three core players: Wang Xianlan, Qiao Yuning, and Ji Chuanxia, ​​plus two main players.

As for the men's team, the lineup is even more luxurious.

Li Ying, Meng Li, Kong Fengge, Liang Long, Xu Guinian.

The world team lineup on the men's side is also super luxurious.

Tim, Dimitri, Truus, Felix, Tomoaki Furukawa.

It can be said.

This is almost a gathering of the top ten table tennis superstars in the world.

This time.

Volkswagen has obviously learned from the failure of the previous organizer of the Asia-Europe All-Star Competition and did not invite Li Ying, although this increased the suspense of the competition.

but.

But it caused the All-Star Game to lose attention.

Since becoming a sponsor of the International Table Tennis Federation in 2003, Volkswagen has strongly supported the development of world table tennis and actively encouraged outstanding table tennis players.

As a partner of the Xiaguo National Table Tennis Team, Volkswagen has actively sponsored a series of events in Xiaguo, including the "ITTF Pro Tour Finals" held in Xiaguo for six consecutive years, the "Xiaguo Table Tennis Open" and the "6th World Table Tennis Championships".

In 2009 alone, Volkswagen successfully sponsored three top events in Xiaguo: the "2009 Xiaguo World Table Tennis Challenge", the "2009 Table Tennis Women's World Cup" and the "2009 World Table Tennis Championships".

and so.

The national team will send out its main players.

Of course, the appearance fees are very high.

Naturally, the Chinese national table tennis team could not refuse this kind of extra income.

and.

The championship prize is also very high, up to millions of dollars.

In this case.

Even if it is divided among the five major players, each of them will have 200,000 US dollars, which, if converted into Xia country currency, will successfully exceed one million.

It can be said.

This is definitely a lot of appearance fee.

Magic City.

Yuanshen Stadium.

The Xiaguo VS World Table Tennis Team Challenge is about to start.

The men's team is coached by Chen Daqian.

It is clear.

With Chen Daqian's qualifications and popularity, he could easily subdue the arrogant and powerful men of the men's team.

After all, now in the national team, including Mengli, no matter how unruly Kong Fengge is, he dare not act wildly in front of Chen Daqian.

all of these.

It’s not because they are afraid of Chen Daqian.

But now, he doesn't want to offend Chen Daqian because of such a trivial matter, and the main reason is that Chen Daqian's apprentice is Li Ying.

and so.

Of course, Chen Daqian himself possesses enough prestige.

In short.

No one had any objection to Chen Daqian serving as the coach of the Xia men's team this time.

"Anyway, I've already made an agreement with the opposing coach to randomly draw lots on the spot. No troop deployment or formations. Each player will play one game, best of seven. In the end, whoever wins three games first will be the winner!"

Chen Daqian smiled.

As soon as these words came out.

Meng Li laughed and said, "I asked you to be the coach, but you are so lazy."

"Then tell me, who do you want to attack? Among the five people on the opposite side, which one is a good person?"

Chen Daqian's rhetorical question left Meng Li speechless.

Indeed, Tim, Dimitri, Truus, Felix, and Tomoaki Furukawa are all tough guys.

He is not a Diplodocus. At least if he were a Diplodocus, he would definitely choose Dimitri.

finally.

After a random draw on site, the matchup schedule was released.

Monli VS Thiem!

Kong Fengge VS Dimitri!

Diplodocus VS Truss!
Xu Guinian VS Tomoaki Furukawa!

Li Ying was the last to appear, and his opponent was Felix.

at this time.

It was Monri's turn to fight first.

Li Ying, Kong Fengge, Liang Long and Xu Guinian were sitting on Chen Daqian's left and right respectively. At this moment, the C channel sports channel was broadcasting the entire event live.

even.

They spent a lot of money to invite former national team members and former national team world champions to serve as commentators.

Because it was a commercial invitational tournament, Li Ying did not initially use the fantasy space to simulate the competition.

result.

Monli lost to Thiem.

After all, their strength is about the same now, and it is obvious that Tim has a stronger desire to survive.

Followed by.

Kong Fengge fights Dimitri.

For Dimitri, as long as his opponent is not Liang Long of the Xia national team, he will be able to fight even if it is Kong Fengge.

then.

Dimitri fought fiercely for seven rounds with Kong Fengge, and Kong Fengge was unexpectedly defeated.

At this moment.

The Xia team was forced into a desperate situation!

Because no one could have imagined that Mengli and Kong Fengge would lose to the German twins.

In this case.

Liang Long, who was the third to appear, was under a lot of pressure.

And this time.

Seeing this scene, Truss felt as if his blood was burning.

because.

As long as he defeats Liang Long, he will be able to bring defeat to the Xia team.

This would be considered the first defeat for Li Yingcheng in his career.

Even if it is not a formal competition, not an open tournament or a world championship, but just a commercial invitational tournament, as long as it can make Li Ying's record no longer a perfect record, it will be worth it even at any cost.

then.

Truth fought like crazy.

On the contrary, Liang Long went into the competition with heavy pressure, as if he was competing with shackles.

finally.

Diplodocus lost to Truus.

In that case.

The Xia team has already failed.

Seeing this scene, Chen Daqian was a little dumbfounded.

He never expected that Li Ying's first defeat in his career would be in such a small commercial challenge.

but.

The game still has to go on.

nowadays.

It depends on whether Xu Guinian and Li Ying can win back some face for the national table tennis team.

at this time.

Tomoaki Furukawa became particularly excited.

He looked at Xu Guinian.

"Now is the perfect time to give the fallen dog a beating!"

Furukawa Tomoaki's words can be said to have angered Xu Guinian, making him so angry that the three corpse gods jumped into a rage.

then.

Tomoaki Furukawa ended up in tragedy.

Xu Guinian, who was extremely angry, defended the dignity of the national table tennis team in his own home court in the Magic City.

4-0, directly sweeping Furukawa Tomoaki and saving a little face for the Chinese national table tennis team.

Followed by.

Li Ying appeared last, but it was too late.

The Xia team has been defeated.

but.

This did not affect Li Ying's easy 4-0 victory over Felix.

In this case.

The final score was 3 to 2.

The World Team won.

All of a sudden.

After the game, news media flocked to Li Ying.

At the press conference after the game, Li Ying and Chen Daqian participated in the interview together.

Seeing this scene, many journalists were really excited.

Because the news media has been waiting for this day for too long.

I thought Li Ying's undefeated record could last for a long time. After all, up to now, Li Ying has never lost any competition he participated in since his debut.

but.

Facing the verbal attacks from reporters, Li Ying was not afraid at all. He used his eloquence to engage in a war of words with these reporters.

At the end of the press conference, many journalists were stunned, because it was the first time they had seen Li Ying so eloquent, he was really very good at debate.

then.

That night, all the news media were reporting on Li Ying's first defeat.

but.

Li Ying's fans did not approve of the failure of this commercial match because it was not a formal match.

and.

The special competition system of the team competition is not the mainstream competition system of the International Table Tennis Federation.

If it is a real team competition system, then Li Ying must play in two games. In this case, the Xia men's team led by Li Ying will definitely not fail.

But Li Ying doesn't care about winning or losing.

In the hotel room.

Chen Daqian looked at Li Ying in surprise.

"Aying, I didn't expect you to take all the responsibility on your shoulders."

Chen Daqian felt very sorry for Li Ying. If he had known this would happen, he should not have adopted a random draw. In that case, if the troops were arranged and Liang Long was matched against Dimitri, the Xia men's team would not have lost.

"Brother Qian, it really doesn't matter. Besides, do you think I care about winning or losing this game? Besides, I am confident that I can win all singles and doubles matches, but in team matches, even if I win all, under the best-of-five format, I can only get 2 points at most."

Li Ying really doesn't care, as long as he doesn't lose the men's singles championship at the London Olympics and the singles championship at any world or even continental competitions.

As for winning or losing in business challenges like this, Li Ying doesn't care much about it.

then.

Back in the Table Tennis Super League, Magic City Crown Paradise also lost.

Li Ying scored 2 points, but Xu Guinian and Sun Guanqing were completely out of form and were defeated by the Luneng team led by Kong Fengge.

Although Li Ying defeated Fang Bo and Zhao Dongyuan, Kong Fengge showed his strength and defeated Sun Guanqing when he faced Xu Guinian and Sun Guanqing respectively.

then.

The doubles team of Fang Bo/Zhao Dongyuan defeated Xu Guinian/Sun Guanqing, and thus Magic City Guanleyuan lost the game.

In this case, Li Ying lost again in the team competition.

but.

The Magic City Crown Paradise Club lost the game, but Li Ying did not lose the battle.

Li Ying didn't care about this at all.

but.

This gave all the domestic Table Tennis Super League clubs hope of defeating Shanghai Guanleyuan.

As long as they avoid Li Ying, even if they let Li Ying get 2 points, defeating Guanleyuan in the remaining three games will also make Guanleyuan Club lose the game.

and so.

Facing Liang Long's leading club, Magic City Crown Paradise lost the game again.
