Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 154 The 51st World Table Tennis Championships opens!
Volume King.

This is the new nickname given to Li Ying by the members of the first and second teams of the national table tennis team.

When Xu Guinian arrived at the gymnasium early, he found that Li Ying had already run five kilometers.

at this time.

Xu Guinian squatted on the ground with his hands on his head, looking extremely painful.

"A Ying, can you please stop being so stubborn? You are putting so much pressure on us. I am scolded by the head coach every day, and now I feel like I am dying!"

Xu Guinian looked at Li Ying with a helpless smile.

"Humph, not rolling? You haven't seen how those teams overseas are rolling day by day. By then, losing the civil war won't be a big deal. Anyway, the meat will be rotten in the pot of our Xia country's national table tennis team. But if we lose the foreign war, just wait and see how the head coach will deal with us!"

Li Ying felt a sense of urgency.

Anyway, the goal has been set.

Before the 2012 London Olympics, it was impossible to lose.

Li Ying would not allow it even if he lost to his teammates.

not to mention.

Now he is in the national table tennis team.

In order to compete for the second singles qualification for the London Olympics, Mengli and Kong Fengge were in a state of chaos.

not to mention.

There is also a Diplodocus standing by, watching closely.

Is Liang Long willing to give up his singles qualification?
Liang Long also wants to fight for it.

after all.

Now the world is undecided.

In this situation, how could Li Ying not work hard?

"Hey, we are all professional table tennis players, why do we have to be so competitive?" Xu Guinian sighed.

But he knew it.

In the end, the truth was revealed, it was all because of Li Ying.

after all.

So far, Li Ying has never come back empty-handed in any competition he has participated in.

The championships won by the world's top table tennis superstars were all won in which Li Ying did not participate.

In this case, even if he wins the championship, Li Ying's fans will think it has no value.

In this case.

How could the global table tennis superstar endure this?
In addition, now that they have this top-level training system, they all feel that catching up with Li Ying is not just a foolish dream.

soon.

Other main players of the national team arrived one after another.

but.

There was no training this morning.

Men's team head coach Dong Yaobang took the national table tennis team one and two to watch the Hungarian Open.

The Hungarian Open has now decided its quarterfinals.

Zhao Dongyuan, Qian Zhongtian, Sun Guanqing, Tim, Dimitri, Truus, Furukawa Tomoaki, Felix!
It can be said.

In the absence of the Xia country's national table tennis team, these eight players are the eight strongest players in today's men's table tennis.

then.

When the quarterfinals entered the semi-finals, the Eight Vajras fought against each other.

The more you watch their games.

this moment.

Meng Li, Kong Fengge, Liang Long, Ma Qing, Xu Guinian, Su Yan and other main players of the Chinese table tennis team who participated in the men's singles of the Rotterdam World Table Tennis Championships were sweating profusely.

It's clearly visible.

Zhao Dongyuan, Qian Zhongtian, Sun Guanqing, Tim, Dimitri, Truus, Furukawa Tomoaki, and Felix have almost been completely transformed.

It is a complete difference from their original strength.

Their strength is increasing rapidly.

In this case.

At the Rotterdam World Table Tennis Championships, it posed a complete threat to the dominance of the Xia country's national table tennis team.

"From now on, we will put these eight people on the key observation list. Now, let's start training!"

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang said in a deep voice.

Immediately.

The national table tennis team began training.

but.

Around the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang are many national team coaches.

"Now it seems that this top-level training system developed by the United States is indeed amazing. But why don't players in the NBA and other professional leagues in the United States use it? Is there something we don't know? For example, doping?"

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang said in a deep voice.

"Anyway, the table tennis players who use this top-level training system have improved their strength very quickly. I think we also need to get one," Wu Weijing said with a smile.

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang shook his head slightly.

"Even if we can buy the hardware, how do we solve the software problem? At present, the most valuable part of this top-level training system is the software. I think that now that the national table tennis team has money, we should vigorously develop a training system that is unique to our Xiaguo national table tennis team!"

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang now feels that the Chinese national table tennis team is wealthy and powerful and is fully qualified to do this!

Talk about it.

This is also why the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang doesn't want to care about Li Ying and Wang Xianlan's relationship.

because.

It can be said that the vast majority of the sponsorship currently received by the Chinese national table tennis team is related to Li Ying and Wang Xianlan.

If I have a falling out with Li Ying.

Then the national team’s life will return to the hard times they had before.

In this case.

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang was unwilling to do so.

and.

Just fall in love.

Rather than being under control, men's team head coach Dong Yaobang thinks it is a good thing.

after all.

If Li Ying didn't date Wang Xianlan and started dating other people, things would become uncontrollable.

after all.

As long as Li Ying is willing, with such a huge fan base, it can be said that there are too many female fans who are crazy about him and are willing to date Li Ying.

The closed training time passed day by day.

Li Ying looks at the career panel.

Now his combat power has reached 98.8999999999…

It can be said.

There is only a small gap from 98.9.

but.

If you fail to win the men's singles title at the World Table Tennis Championships, it will take months or even years of accumulated experience to finally break through the barrier.

December 2011, 5.

The Chinese national table tennis team set off for Rotterdam.

Because on May 5th, the 8 Rotterdam World Table Tennis Championships officially began.

of course.

Numbers 8 and 9 are both qualifying rounds.

The main competition will not start until May 5th.

but.

All participating table tennis players must attend the opening ceremony.

There is no direct flight from Jincheng to Rotterdam, so we have to return to the capital.

Imperial City International Airport.

Many fans and news media saw off the Chinese national table tennis team as they set off for the World Table Tennis Championships in Rotterdam.

I sincerely hope that the Xiaguo national table tennis team can return triumphantly at the 51st World Table Tennis Championships.

Li Ying and Wang Xianlan naturally stayed with the main group and did not take the Wang family's private plane.

after all.

In this case, you must lead by example.

not to mention.

The Chinese national table tennis team chartered a plane directly.

Today's Chinese national table tennis team has no shortage of this little money.

and so.

After the coaching staff has finished selecting the positions.

Li Ying is the captain and leader of the men's team, and also the defending champion who is highly expected by the coaching staff. Li Ying's position is also very good.

Wang Xianlan is not bad either. After all, she is the leader of the women's team, and the head coach is the current head coach of the women's team, Hou Bingguang.

At present, even though Hou Bingguang is the head coach of the women's team, he is still Wang Xianlan's head coach.

It is clear.

Hou Bingguang wanted to wait until Wang Xianlan finished participating in the 2012 London Olympics. If Wang Xianlan won the Grand Slam, then Hou Bingguang would step down as Wang Xianlan's head coach.

It is impossible for Hou Bingguang to step down after Wang Xianlan fails to become a Grand Slam winner.

because.

As the head coach of the women's team, Hou Bingguang also needs to achieve results.

And what could be more successful than training disciples to achieve the Grand Slam?
Wang Xianlan leaned on Li Ying's shoulder.

As Li Ying entered deep sleep, Wang Xianlan also entered deep sleep.

On the contrary, Xu Guinian, Kong Fengge, Liang Long and others were unable to rest, so they started playing cards.

for this scene.

Even the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang did not stop it.

because.

Even now their coaching staff can't sleep.

It is clear.

Nowadays, the pressure put on the Xiaguo national table tennis team by top foreign table tennis superstars is increasing.

Especially after the Spanish Open.

The Chinese table tennis coaching team is feeling more and more pressured.

because.

The top table tennis stars from outside the association are all improving rapidly.

As for the main players of the national table tennis team, they are also making progress.

But it's obvious.

The progress of the main players of the Chinese national table tennis team is far inferior to that of the top superstars of foreign table tennis teams.

It's not just foreign superstars that pose a threat to the Chinese national team.

The progress of three table tennis geniuses, Zhao Dongyuan, Qian Zhongtian and Sun Guanqing, made the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang feel like a thorn in his back and a fishbone stuck in his throat.

Because losing a foreign war is shameful.

but.

If the Xia Guo national table tennis team lost to Zhao Dongyuan, Qian Zhongtian and Sun Guanqing, it would also feel like a shame.

after all.

If word gets out that the national team cannot beat the local team, the Xia national table tennis team won't be able to hold their heads up in the international table tennis arena.

and so.

During the closed training period, the national table tennis coaching team focused on studying the Eight Vajra.

The pressure on the national team to imitate the players of Zhao Dongyuan, Qian Zhongtian and Sun Guanqing is very high.

But no matter what.

Now that the 51st World Table Tennis Championships is about to begin, whether it is a mule or a horse, we have to take it out for a walk.

Until now.

The head coach of the men's team, Dong Yaobang, and the national table tennis coaching staff all understand how lucky the national table tennis team is to have a stabilizing force like Li Ying.

if not.

If there was no Li Ying, the Chinese table tennis coaching staff would probably really suffer from sleeplessness.

finally.

Arrival in Rotterdam.

The national table tennis team took a bus to the hotel where they were staying.

at the same time.

Top table tennis stars from all over the world have arrived in Rotterdam.

The best hotel in Rotterdam has almost been completely booked by the Chinese national table tennis team.

Room.

Li Ying still lives with Chen Daqian.

Wu Weijin was with Meng Li and Ma Qing, Qin Yucheng was with Liang Long and Xu Guinian, and Liao Huazhong was with Kong Fengge.

After all, there are three-bed rooms.

Right now.

Li Ying received a message on his mobile phone.

Sent from Yu Xuejian.

Yu Xuejian participated in the mixed doubles at the 51st World Table Tennis Championships.

And according to what Li Ying knows, Yu Xuejian's combination is particularly valued by both the men's and women's team coaching staffs.

and so.

During the closed training period in Jincheng, Yu Xuejian also enjoyed the treatment of being the focus of the national team.

Li Ying called.

"Aying!" Yu Xuejian was very excited.

"Brother Jian, this is not your first time participating in the World Table Tennis Championships. Didn't you also participate in the mixed doubles in Yokohama two years ago? Stay calm and remember that you are invincible in the mixed doubles. After all, Xianlan and I did not participate in the mixed doubles. Then, in this world, no mixed doubles combination can defeat you!"

Li Ying comforted and encouraged Yu Xuejian.

"Thank you, Aying!"

Yu Xuejian's anxious and excited heart suddenly calmed down.

"Relax a little. I am not your mixed doubles opponent. What are you afraid of? What's more, during this closed training period, I see that your mixed doubles training is quite good. Have confidence in yourself and have confidence in your partner!" Li Ying said with a smile.

The mixed doubles event is not particularly valued at present.

As far as Li Ying can remember, the mixed doubles event was not officially included in the Olympic events until the 2020 Olympics.

As for doubles, it was not until the 2004 Olympics that it was included.

For example, in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, there was no table tennis doubles event.

There are only singles and groups.

Then, until 2020, mixed doubles will be added to the Olympics.

After continuing to encourage Yu Xuejian for a few more words, Li Ying hung up the phone.

"Aying, you are really awesome. After listening to you, Yu Xuejian must be full of confidence now!" Chen Daqian said with a smile and admiration.

"Brother Qian, it's just like that. The national team doesn't pay much attention to the mixed doubles event in the current World Table Tennis Championships. The players they sent out were not the main players. For example, it was an accident the year before last. Yu Xuejian's group was originally the one that the national team had high hopes for."

"But who would have thought that the national team would eventually let Kong Fengge join the mixed doubles. In that case, Yu Xuejian would naturally be no match for Kong Fengge."

"But this time, Kong Fengge has obtained the singles qualification, so it is naturally impossible for her to participate in the mixed doubles. As for the mixed doubles, I think Yu Xuejian and his team have a great chance of winning the championship!"

"After all, when it comes to mixed doubles, no other country has sent out a particularly strong combination!"

Li Ying smiled.

"As for the mixed doubles combination, our national team has sent out double insurance. Dou Yang also participated in the mixed doubles. In short, I think it is very likely that our Xia country and national table tennis team will successfully meet in the mixed doubles final!" Chen Daqian said with a smile.

"If they really meet, it will depend on their on-the-spot performance. Now, we only focus on the men's singles draw!"

Li Ying smiled.

Li Ying did not participate in the men's doubles, so he didn't have to consider the men's doubles competition at all.

Li Ying only needs to focus on the men's singles competition.

At this point.

It can be seen.

The men's team coaching staff still has high hopes for Li Ying to defend the title.

of course.

The men's team coaching staff does not want Mengli, Kong Fengge, Liang Long, Ma Qing, Xu Guinian and Su Yan to win the championship.

but.

The men’s team coaching staff must first focus on ensuring that Li Ying can defend his title.

of course.

It would be best if the Xia country's national table tennis team could take all four places in the semi-finals.

only.

Nowadays, even the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang doesn't dare to dream of such a beautiful dream.

after all.

Those top foreign superstars are not vegetarians.

"Anyway, you are the top seed in the men's singles of the 51st World Table Tennis Championships, and Monli is the second seed. You will be in different divisions. In this case, if you want to meet, you must be in the semifinals. Because there are four divisions, in the end only one top star can make it to the semifinals!"

Chen Daqian smiled.

"Then let's take a look at the final draw!" Li Ying was also a little excited.

5 month 8 number.

The 51st World Table Tennis Championships officially opened in Rotterdam!
Li Ying, as a representative of the athletes, went on stage to deliver a speech.

Because in today's table tennis world, Li Ying is the most suitable person.

at this point.

Even the International Table Tennis Federation can only admit it.

If Li Ying is not allowed to be the athlete representative, other table tennis players, no matter if they are superstars or top stars, will not be qualified.
