Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 142 Luneng's Devil's Home, Luneng Changes Tactics
In this case.

The Magic City Crown Paradise Club will first go to Luneng’s home stadium to play a game!
Afterwards, if we return to Shanghai, we will play two games at Shanghai’s home stadium.

Monday, January 2010, 9.

The Magic City Crown Paradise set off to the provincial capital of Lucun, Quancheng.

I first went to the five-star hotel where I was staying to put my luggage, and then came to the Donghe Hall of Quancheng Olympic Sports Center.

The first match with Luneng will be on the day after tomorrow, September 9, but no one in the Magic City Crown Paradise dares to underestimate this battle, so they came to the Donghe Hall of Quancheng Olympic Sports Center in advance to start training.

Anyway, they are almost all open cards.

However, the Magic City Crown Paradise Club is still unsure as to who will play the second singles between Sun Guanqing and Xu Guinian.

But in the Luneng team, Kong Fengge, Zhao Dongyuan and Fang Bo had already lined up early.

of course.

Coach Deng Lixun actually puts more energy into the doubles pairing of Xu Guinian/Sun Guanqing.

"To put it bluntly, as long as your doubles team can successfully defeat Zhao Dongyuan/Fang Bo's doubles team, then there is actually no need for you to focus your thoughts and energy on singles."

At this time, in order to win, coach Deng Lixun also felt that he would use any means necessary.

As soon as these words came out.

Xu Guinian and Sun Guanqing felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.

But this is exactly the truth.

At this moment.

Xu Guinian and Sun Guanqing both looked at Li Ying.

"We can't give up every game, but it's too difficult to practice doubles in a short time. Unless, I play one doubles match and one singles match. But Sun Guanqing, can you guarantee that you can win one of the two singles matches you play, Kong Fengge and Zhao Dongyuan?"

If Li Ying and Xu Guinian play doubles together, they will win no matter who their opponent is.

In this case.

Whether Li Ying plays singles or doubles, he can at least bring 2 points to the team.

but.

After these words were spoken, Sun Guanqing suddenly felt under tremendous pressure.

Zhao Dongyuan and Kong Fengge are not unknown people.

"Forget it, you should be in charge of the two singles matches, and Xu Guinian and I will partner up in doubles. Then in our two singles matches, no matter who we face, we will try our best!"

Sun Guanqing said with a smile.

During the adaptive training at Crown Park in Shanghai, a large number of fans gathered to watch.

Tens of thousands of fans flocked to the Donghe Hall of Quancheng Olympic Sports Center. It is conceivable how popular the Table Tennis Super League is now.

Of course, most of these table tennis fans are still fans of the Luneng team. They come here now just to see the Magic City Crown Park.

Time flies.

It arrives at 9:22 on the evening of September 19nd.

Luneng will face Magic City Crown Paradise at home!
On the day of the competition, the Donghe Hall of the Quancheng Olympic Sports Center was completely filled with table tennis enthusiasts. It can be said that the atmosphere was very hot.

There were huge crowds of Luneng fans, cheering crazily for Luneng. It was truly a devil’s home ground.

this moment.

The three athletes of the Luneng team, Kong Fengge, Zhao Dongyuan and Fang Bo, all felt the unparalleled motivation.

because.

Tens of thousands of Luneng fans were cheering for them crazily. As Luneng athletes, how could they possibly let so many fans be sad and disappointed at Luneng's home stadium!
and so.

Now they are all full of fighting spirit.

soon.

The game officially begins.

When Li Ying saw Luneng suddenly change its formation and let Fang Bo play the first singles, he knew that Luneng was using tactics.

It is clear.

Luneng wants to exchange pieces.

Use the inferior horse Fangbo to exchange for the superior horse Li Ying, and then place the hope of victory on the singles and doubles cooperation of Kong Fengge and Zhao Dongyuan.

It is clear.

Luneng came fully prepared.

and.

Until now, Luneng has never let Kong Fengge/Zhao Dongyuan partner in doubles.

But now.

Luneng used it surprisingly.

Obviously, these were tactics secretly prepared during the regular season, and they were probably aimed at the Magic City Crown Paradise.

In this regard.

Li Ying was helpless.

after all.

In the team competition, he is guaranteed to get 2 points, but if his teammates really can't get 1 point, then Shanghai Crown Paradise should lose.

At this moment.

All the Luneng fans in the stadium cheered for Fang Bo enthusiastically.

The deafening cheers made Fang Bo's blood boil.

At this moment, Fang Bo was not afraid at all when facing Li Ying, the leader of the 92 Four Heroes.

"Brother Ying, don't blame me for being ruthless today!"

Now Fang Bo feels that his overall condition has been improved to the extreme, and he feels that he has every chance of defeating Li Ying.

"Then go ahead and do it."

Li Ying smiled.

After all, they are teammates in the national team who spend every day together.

There is absolutely no need to make harsh remarks.

after all.

If you don’t see it when you look up, you won’t see it when you look down.

Fang Bo tried his best to defeat Li Ying.

Available soon.

With just one game, Li Ying told Fang Bo that it was still you who beat me.

The first game ended with a score of 11 to 4.

It can be said.

Fang Bo didn't find any good opportunities at all.

at this time.

Kong Fengge and Zhao Dongyuan hurried to comfort Fang Bo and relieve his stress.

"If Li Ying could be defeated so easily, then he wouldn't be the undefeated Qilin Li Ying. Don't listen to the media's nonsense about his undefeated body being broken."

Kong Fengge laughed.

"The games that Li Ying lost were all team games, but whenever Li Ying played, he won all the games."

Zhao Dongyuan also laughed.

After hearing this, Fang Bo felt a little relieved.

Next.

He still tried to resist.

but.

The absolute gap in strength is really too obvious.

at the same time.

In the training hall of the Bayi team.

Mengli did not train, but took Zhou Yu and Yan An to watch the game.

"Oh, Brother Bo is so pitiful. He still wants to challenge Brother Ying, and even defeat Brother Ying. I can only say that you can't even think about it in your nightmares!" Yan An said with a smile.

"I can fully understand Fang Bo's mentality at this moment. That kind of absolute gap in strength can never be bridged no matter what!" At this moment, Meng Li felt a little sad.

because.

When he saw Fang Bo struggling hard, he thought of himself. Every time Li Meng fought, no matter how hard he tried, he could not defeat Li Ying.

finally.

Li Ying defeated Fang Bo 3-0.

but.

Coach Deng Lixun looked gloomy.

It is obvious that the current situation is very unfavorable for Crown Paradise in Magic City.

But the lineup has already been submitted and cannot be changed.

The second set of singles players from both sides came on the court.

Xu Guinian VS Zhao Dongyuan!
Li Ying and Sun Guanqing sat on either side of coach Deng Lixun.

At this moment, Xu Guinian was warming up with Zhao Dongyuan.

Li Ying smiled and said, "In that case, in the fifth game, you will play against Kong Fengge. By then, the score may be 2-2. The victory or defeat between you and Kong Fengge will determine the outcome of this game!"

After these words were spoken, Sun Guanqing felt tremendous pressure.

but.

Sun Guanqing is the kind of person who is more likely to explode the greater the pressure.

"If Xu Guinian can defeat Zhao Dongyuan, you won't have to play in the fourth set!" Sun Guanqing said with a smile.

"I hope so, but I feel it will not be easy for Brother Xu to defeat Zhao Dongyuan at Luneng's home stadium."

Looking at Zhao Dongyuan now, his whole body is full of fighting spirit and morale.

Can be imagined.

It is really difficult for Xu Guinian to defeat Luneng athletes at Luneng’s home stadium!

but.

Li Ying also hoped that Xu Guinian could create a miracle.

After all, Xu Guinian is not a coward, nor is he a softie.

soon.

The game officially begins.

Xu Guinian and Zhao Dongyuan gave up any meaningless probing at the very beginning and went straight to the point.

but.

Xu Guinian and Zhao Dongyuan were both still a little nervous.

Because Xu Guinian knew that if he could defeat Zhao Dongyuan, then it would matter if it was at Luneng’s home court, Magic City Crown Paradise would still be able to take away the victory.

Zhao Dongyuan also knew that this battle could not be lost.

if not.

Then Luneng’s tactical change is pure nonsense.

then.

In both the first and second games, Xu Guinian lost!
It was not until the start of the third game that Li Ying finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Brother Xu, forget the meaning of winning or losing in this game. Just play at your own pace. It doesn't matter if it's Luneng's devilish home court. You have to play as you like. Play as you can. Haven't you always wanted to be a people's artist of table tennis?"

Li Ying’s words were like enlightenment.

Xu Guinian nodded heavily.

Because at this moment, he chose to believe Li Ying.

after all.

If he couldn't even trust Li Ying's words, then Xu Guinian would have no one he could trust.

then.

Xu Guinian's playing style turned back into that of a cool and unrestrained table tennis artist, and he directly stunned Zhao Dongyuan!
Win three games in a row!

Xu Guinian's peculiar playing style made Zhao Dongyuan very uncomfortable.

but.

In the sixth game.

Zhao Dongyuan received guidance from Kong Fengge and adjusted his mindset.

Drag Xu Guinian back into normal rhythm.

In this case.

Zhao Dongyuan equalized the score.

The tiebreaker!

Xu Guinian wanted to show off again, but Zhao Dongyuan didn't give him the chance at all. Moreover, Zhao Dongyuan always fought madly and didn't hold out against Xu Guinian at all.

because.

Xu Guinian's long-range running is very terrifying, and his ability to hold on to multiple boards and confront from mid- and long-range is very terrifying.

then.

Xu Guinian was eventually defeated.

In this case.

After Zhao Dongyuan defeated Xu Guinian, the overall score returned to 1:1.

The third set of the game.

Xu Guinian/Sun Guanqing versus Kong Fengge/Zhao Dongyuan!
This is Kong Fengge and Zhao Dongyuan playing doubles.

The words before.

They are both Zhao Dongyuan and Fang Bo.

but.

In order to defeat the Magic City Crown Paradise Club, Luneng deliberately trained in secret.

Hopefully, he can defeat Xu Guinian and Sun Guanqing in the doubles match.

In this case.

Even if Fang Bo loses to Li Ying in the fourth set, the suspense of the game will remain in the fifth set.

It can be said that Luneng came fully prepared.

However, Xu Guinian and Sun Guanqing had a very uncomfortable time facing Kong Fengge and Zhao Dongyuan.

because.

Xu Guinian and Sun Guanqing played many times in the first phase of the regular season of the Table Tennis Super League, and their technical characteristics have long been understood by Luneng.

In this case.

Even though Xu Guinian was known as a natural doubles saint, his partnership with Sun Guanqing was thoroughly studied by Luneng, and they were ultimately powerless to turn the tide.

Plus.

They faced the strange pair of Kong Fengge and Zhao Dongyuan for the first time.

In order to achieve victory, Kong Fengge and Zhao Dongyuan can be said to have cooperated sincerely and worked together.

In this case.

They brought their skills to full play and their coordination and tacit understanding were even better than Xu Guinian and Sun Guanqing.

finally.

Xu Guinian and Sun Guanqing unfortunately lost.

In this case.

In terms of the overall score, Luneng leads 2:1 Magic City Crown Paradise.

Seeing this scene, Li Ying said nothing.

After all, it wasn't him and Xu Guinian who were partners.

If they were to partner up, no matter who was standing opposite them, even if it was Liang Long and Kong Fengge, Li Ying would have absolute confidence that he could lead Xu Guinian to defeat the opponent.

In the fourth set, Fang Bo wanted to make achievements for Luneng.

but.

Dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel!
Once again, Li Ying shut out the game.

even.

There was one game where the score was almost 11 to 0. If Li Ying had not stopped at the crucial moment and allowed Fang Bo to get one point, Fang Bo would have almost gotten a zero.

then.

After the game.

Fang Bo looked at Li Ying with great resentment.

"Brother Ying, did you just want to beat me 11-0?"

Li Ying was speechless and said, "If I hadn't given you a chance, you would have gotten nothing. It's your own fault, and you blame me?"

After hearing this, Fang Bo was speechless.

The fifth game.

Kong Fengge VS Sun Guanqing.

at this time.

It was Sun Guanqing's turn to fight desperately.

after all.

This is Luneng’s devilish home ground.

and.

Today, Luneng is fully prepared, and Kong Fengge is also very motivated. In this case, let's fight to the death.

At this moment.

When Sun Guanqing looked at Kong Fengge, it felt like he was looking at the mortal enemy who had killed his father.

but!

In the table tennis competition, the winner is ultimately determined by strength.

And currently.

Kong Fengge's technical strength is far superior to Sun Guanqing's!
Sun Guanqing was ultimately defeated by Kong Fengge!

In this case.

Magic City Crown Paradise lost the game 2-3.

but.

Luneng’s home stadium is gone.

Next, the competition will return to the home court of Crown Park in Magic City!

After losing the game.

Li Ying said to coach Deng Lixun: "Coach, let's go to the interview together!"

If he wins the game, Li Ying will rarely attend the post-match press conference.

But now, if they lose the game, Li Ying will have to take the blame for Xu Guinian and Sun Guanqing.

Hear this.

Xu Guinian and Sun Guanqing quickly expressed their opinions.

"Coach, we are fine. We will celebrate together if we win and bear the loss together!" Sun Guanqing said quickly.

Li Ying said calmly, "The most urgent thing is to adjust your mentality. I don't want to lose again when I return to my home court. So you don't have to care about these ups and downs. If you want to scold, just scold me and the coach."

then.

Li Ying and Deng Lixun attended the post-match press conference.

original.

The journalists had already prepared countless questions about Xu Guinian and Sun Guanqing's mentality.

But when they saw that it was Li Ying and Deng Lixun attending the press conference, they were speechless for a moment.

How to criticize Li Ying?
Li Ying won the only 2 points for Magic City Crown Paradise.

but.

Journalists quickly pointed the finger at Deng Lixun, believing that the loss was purely due to tactical issues!
In this regard.

Deng Lixun had been practicing Tai Chi for a long time and was very experienced, so he avoided the question.
