Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 155: The fierce battle at the Rotterdam World Table Tennis Championships is in full swing, Li Ying's unique skills! (5K chapter plus extra)

The men's singles draw for the 51st World Table Tennis Championships has been released.

In the men's singles quarter-finals, Mengli of the Xiaguo national table tennis team was ranked second seed in the men's singles of the Rotterdam World Table Tennis Championships.

As for the Eight Vajras, they are Zhao Dongyuan and Truss.

The slightly lesser table tennis superstars are Park Kwang-ho, the men's singles champion of the 2004 Athens Olympics, and Atsushi Naganuma, who has recently shown his potential and is threatening to replace Tomoaki Furukawa as the leader of the Ryuukawa National Team.

In the men's singles 2/4 zone, there are Liang Long and Ma Qing from the Xiaguo national table tennis team, Ford from the British team, Felix from the French team, Qian Zhongtian from the Haojiang team, and Li Zhenyuan from the Korean team.

In the men's singles 3/4 zone, there are Kong Fengge and Xu Guinian from the Xiaguo national table tennis team, Sun Guanqing from Xiaguo Baodao, and Furukawa Tomoaki from Ryuo Country.

In the men's singles 4/4 zone, Li Ying, as the top seed in the men's singles of the 51st World Table Tennis Championships, finally landed in this zone. Also in this zone is the Xia national table tennis player Su Yan.

The foreign superstars are the German twin stars Tim and Dimitri, all of whom are in this division. Not only that, there is also Matsudaira Yosuke from Ryuo Country.

With such a draw, there are four divisions in men's singles, and each division looks extremely strong.

and.

In the end, only one winner from each division can advance to the semi-finals.

It can be said.

Extremely cruel.

of course.

For example, the global news media is most concerned about the men's singles 4/4 zone.

In an instant, when the draw list spread all over the world, the Internet was in an uproar.

"Haha, what kind of luck do the German twins have. Not only did they draw the same division, but Li Ying is also in that division!"

"God, it's over. The undefeated Kirin Li Ying is actually in this division. Our twin stars can't even make it to the semifinals!"

"That's nothing. According to the order of the draw, Tim and Dimitri will have to fight in the end."

"Then we will see the German twins fighting each other in the World Table Tennis Championships!"

"I'm really looking forward to the men's singles starting soon, but unfortunately, May 5 and 8 are both qualifying rounds."

at the same time.

In the hotel where the Xia national table tennis team is staying.

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang convened the men's team and held a meeting in the conference room.

among them.

On the big screen is the men's singles draw.

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang first took a quick look around.

"This time, Meng Li has the heaviest task, as he has to guard the 1/4 zone alone. As for the other three zones, our Xiaguo national table tennis team has two athletes, which is a double insurance."

"My biggest request to you is to try not to lose any foreign games. Of course, our coaching staff estimates that the best result is that four of you can meet in the semi-finals!"

"Of course, this is very difficult, so it is not a clear mission goal. But I at least hope that, except for the 4/4 division where A Ying is, at least one person from the other three divisions can compete with A Ying in the semi-finals!"

"In this case, the most ideal situation is that our Xiaguo national table tennis players will successfully meet in the men's singles final!"

"In this way, no matter who wins the championship, it will be our Xiaguo national table tennis team."

"This World Table Tennis Championships in Rotterdam is of great significance to you all, because it is directly related to the singles qualification for the London Olympics next year."

“So no matter who you are, I hope you will go all out and work hard!”

At this moment, the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang looked sharply at the seven main players!
It can be said.

Li Ying, Meng Li, Kong Fengge, Liang Long, Ma Qing, Xu Guinian and Su Yan are the seven strongest players in the men's team of the Xia national table tennis team.

and so.

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang has high hopes for the seven tiger players.

"For men's doubles, Liang Long/Xu Guinian are in the upper half of the draw. The German twins Thiem/Dmitri are also in the upper half. You will definitely meet in the men's doubles semi-finals."

"In the lower half, Meng Li/Kong Fengge, Ma Qing/Su Yan, you are double insurance. I hope you can successfully meet in the semifinals in the end."

"For mixed doubles, Yu Xuejian and Dou Yang, I hope you can play a leading role and meet in the final."

at the same time.

After the draw table came out.

The table tennis associations of Hong Kong, Macao and Formosa, as well as foreign table tennis associations, have begun targeted training.

some of.

Men's singles and women's singles, those are top priorities.

of course.

Men's singles is always the highlight.

and so.

On May 5th and May 8th, no matter which table tennis association, they were doing their best to help the superstars of their association.

Practice deploying targeted tactics.

The Xiaguo national table tennis team is no exception.

The coaching team fully utilized their collective wisdom and focused on studying those opponents who posed a great threat to the national table tennis team.

some of.

The Eight Vajras are the ones that require the most attention from the national table tennis coaching staff.

And this time.

The coaching staff doesn't need to worry about Li Ying.

Because the coaching staff has never studied a specific opponent with Li Ying.

In this case.

The men's team coaching staff only needs to serve the other six table tennis players.

This made Li Ying's sparring partner, Lin Wangyuan, feel sorry for Li Ying.

“Brother Ying, you are not only the captain of the men’s team, but also the leader of the men’s team. How come the coaches of the men’s team are all focusing on other teammates, helping them analyze the ball paths of the top players from all over the world and arranging tactics on how to deal with them!”

Lin Wangyuan was still young and didn’t understand much.

but.

He is now Li Ying's sparring partner, so he considers everything completely from Li Ying's perspective.

As soon as these words came out.

Li Ying was very pleased. He usually gave Lin Wangyuan a lot of guidance. Lin Wangyuan was a grateful person.

"Ayuan, I don't need it. So the coaching staff will focus on them. What's more, in my division, although Tim and Dimitri are very strong, I still have enough experience to play against them!" Li Ying said with a smile.

"Brother Ying, I don't want to see you lose anyway!" Lin Wangyuan is only 15 years old this year. Although he has grown rapidly as Li Ying's sparring partner, he is still not very mature after all.

"I don't want to see myself lose either, so let's work hard together!" Li Ying said with a smile.

Li Ying's words made Lin Wangyuan feel as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Two days passed quickly.

5 month 10 number.

The first match to start was the mixed doubles.

Li Ying naturally went to the scene in person to cheer for the mixed doubles team led by Yu Xuejian and Dou Yang.

At 18: in the evening, the third round of mixed doubles began.

At 19:15 in the evening, the first round of men's singles/women's singles began.

First round.

The opponents we encountered were not too strong.

The seven main players of the Chinese men's table tennis team naturally passed the test easily.

In this case.

All of them successfully entered the top 64 of men's singles.

competition is over.

Chen Daqian, as Li Ying's off-court coach, said with a smile: "A Ying, your second-round opponent is Lao Chen, the overseas player of the Xia Guo national table tennis team. In the third round, if nothing unexpected happens, you will meet Lao Sa!"

Li Ying smiled and said, "The fourth round will be the semi-finals of our division. My opponent will be Brother Su. If nothing unexpected happens, the other pair will be Dimitri and Tim."

"If I can defeat Sugo, then my opponent will be one of Dimitri and Tim."

"We must defeat them to stand out from the 4/4 division and advance to the men's singles semi-finals. By then, we won't know who our opponent will be!"

"And the most exciting thing will definitely be the men's singles top 16. If nothing unexpected happens, the top 16 will all be superstars ranked in the top 20 in the world!"

"It is estimated that the seven tigers and eight great players of our Xiaguo national table tennis team will all be able to enter the round of 1. In this case, starting from the round of 8, the 1/4 finals, / finals, semifinals and finals will all be very exciting."

Hearing this, Chen Daqian nodded, then smiled and said, "Anyway, you don't have to worry about other competitions, just focus on your competition. Now, the external research on you must have reached a crazy level."

"Especially your division this time, and the German twins. Although they will fight among themselves before they meet you."

"But in the end, whoever meets you will do their best to try to beat you. Because this is Europe, they definitely don't want to see us Asian table tennis players reach the top here."

"Anyway, the video discs of your matches are probably a dozen feet high in the German Table Tennis Association right now."

After hearing this, Li Ying nodded in understanding.

Wednesday, September 5th.

Men's doubles open.

At this year's Rotterdam World Table Tennis Championships, the men's doubles combination of Liang Long/Xu Guinian was listed as the top seed in the men's doubles.

Ma Qing/Su Yan are the second seeds in men's doubles.

As for the Mengli/Kong Fengge combination, it was purely because the Chinese men's table tennis team arranged for Mengli and Kong Fengge to partner up in advance in preparation for the London Olympic Games team competition.

of course.

It is not completely certain yet, but Liang Long is not without a chance.

But at the moment, it seems that the chances are slim.

When Liang Long and Xu Guinian were playing doubles, Li Ying naturally went to watch the game in person.

after all.

The other two pairs also have to compete, so it’s impossible to come and cheer for them.

As the captain and leader of the national table tennis team, Li Ying must fulfill his responsibilities as captain at all times and in all places.

Of course, in this regard, Chen Daqian taught by words and deeds.

Chen Daqian has also served as the captain of the national men's team for many years, so he has experience in this area.

16 o'clock, fourth round of mixed doubles.

Li Ying also came to the competition venue to cheer for the two pairs of Yu Xuejian and Dou Yang.

after.

Today we will have the second and third rounds of men's singles.

For Li Ying.

Whether it is Lao Chen or Lao Sa fighting against the overseas troops.

They were all 4-0 sweeps.

Showing an extremely strong competitive state.

This continues to put tremendous pressure on many of the world's top table tennis stars.

After the third round of men's singles.

The top 51 men's singles players of the st World Table Tennis Championships have been announced.

1/4 division: Monri vs. Zhao Dongyuan, Truss vs. Naganuma Atsushi.

2/4 Division: Liang Long VS Qian Zhongtian, Ma Qing VS Felix.

3/4 Division: Kong Fengge VS Sun Guanqing, Xu Guinian VS Furukawa Tomoaki.

4/4 Division: Li Ying VS Su Yan, Thiem VS Dimitri.

These are the top 16 men's singles teams at the World Table Tennis Championships in Rotterdam.

For example, Park Kwang-ho didn't even make it to the top 16 and was eliminated in the top 32.

of course.

There are too many table tennis superstars in the world who stopped at the top 1, such as Lao Sa, Ford, Li Zhenyuan, etc. And this 8/ final match is also very interesting.

The three main players of the Xia national table tennis team, Mengli, Liang Long and Kong Fengge, will face off against the three top table tennis talents of the Xia country.

Zhao Dongyuan, Qian Zhongtian, and Sun Guanqing are fully capable of entering the Xia country national team with their strength, but, due to a series of unexpected circumstances, they have now become the biggest enemy of the Xia country national table tennis team.

of course.

Looking at this list, the Xiaguo national table tennis team is still star-studded.

because.

All seven tigers of the Xia country's national table tennis team made it into the top 16 of the men's singles.

Almost.

It occupies half of the country.

of course.

This is because the Xia national table tennis team can only send out these seven tigers. Otherwise, if they send out eight tigers, they might really be able to occupy half of the country.

of course.

After the 1/8 finals.

I don’t know how many players will be left from the Xia country’s national table tennis team.

at this time.

The coaching staff of the Xiaguo men's table tennis team immediately started special training for Mengli, Kong Fengge and Liang Long.

at this time.

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang came in person.

"Aying, it's time for our national team to need you!"

After hearing this, Li Ying looked at Chen Daqian in surprise.

If nothing unexpected happens.

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang probably doesn't know about his unique skill.

But now.

When the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang said this, it was clear that he already knew it.

Then.

The only one who could tell the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang was his own head coach Chen Daqian.

"Aying, you are not only a member of the national team, you are also the captain and a leader that the national team has high hopes for. Now is the time when the national team needs your dedication."

Chen Daqian said in a deep voice.

Chen Daqian has always been a person who puts collective interests above personal interests.

and.

If you say.

Meng Li, Kong Fengge and Liang Long were really no match for the three table tennis geniuses Zhao Dongyuan, Qian Zhongtian and Sun Guanqing.

Then Li Ying’s subsequent campaigns will become extremely difficult.

Before the men's singles final, Chen Daqian still hoped that the national table tennis team would have more players on the court.

after all.

It's better for the meat to rot in the pot than for someone else to take it away.

"it is good!"

Li Ying did not look back.

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang found a secret gym.

There aren't any cameras.

even.

Even as for the national team coaches, there are only the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang and Li Ying's head coach Chen Daqian.

For example, Mengli's head coach Wu Weijin, Kong Fengge's head coach Liao Huazhong, and Liang Long's head coach Qin Yucheng were not present.

It is clear.

It was stopped by the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang.

at this time.

Mengli, Liang Long and Kong Fengge were a little confused.

The three of them had no idea what the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang was up to.

at this time.

Li Ying put on Zhao Dongyuan's team uniform.

The head coach of the men's team, Dong Yaobang, said to Meng Li in a deep voice: "Da Meng, you are about to face Zhao Dongyuan, who is simulated by A Ying with all his strength. Don't think of A Ying as Li Ying, remember that your opponent is Zhao Dongyuan!"

As soon as these words came out.

Mengli, Liang Long and Kong Fengge were completely stunned.

Especially Monri.

It feels ridiculous.

"Aying is the captain of the national team and a leader. Isn't it a waste of talent to let him play the role of a member of the second team?"

For a moment, Mengli couldn't adapt.

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang's face darkened.

"Remember, you are not facing the captain of the national team, but your upcoming opponent Zhao Dongyuan!"

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang reminded again.

at this time.

Meng Li came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream.

at this time.

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

They wanted to take a look.

Li Ying imitates Zhao Dongyuan, and they are somewhat similar.

result.

The first point comes out.

Liang Long and Kong Fengge looked at each other.

They could all see expressions of extreme shock in each other's eyes.

because.

They all felt that Zhao Dongyuan was standing opposite Meng Li.

Li Ying's imitation of Zhao Dongyuan, his playing path, playing style, serving, receiving serves, and the use of various table tennis skills, can be said to be exactly the same as Zhao Dongyuan.

at this time.

Liang Long and Kong Fengge even thought that it might be Zhao Dongyuan's real body who came to the scene, but he was just wearing Li Ying's appearance.

In other words, it was like wearing Li Ying's human skin mask.

The game was a best-of-seven series, and in the end, Mengli fought hard for seven games and defeated 'Zhao Dongyuan'.

After the game, Monri breathed a sigh of relief.

"Da Meng, how do you feel?"

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang looked at Mengli with concern.

"Aying is simply amazing. I feel like he simulated Zhao Dongyuan and is exactly like him!" Mengli laughed in amazement.

"Liang Long, it's your turn!"

At this time, the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang looked at Liang Long.

Liang Long pointed at himself in disbelief, "Me?"

"Yes. Your opponent is Qian Zhongtian. Do you think you are 100% sure of winning?" The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang asked a question that confused Liang Long.

"No!"

Liang Long would never dare to make such a big statement.

Because in today's world.

I'm afraid only Li Ying would dare to say such a thing.

then.

Liang Long versus Qian Zhongtian.

The same seven innings were played.

of course.

Liang Long defeated 'Qian Zhongtian' 4:2.

But in the seventh game, under the strict order of the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang, the score changed to 3:3, so "Qian Zhongtian" launched a desperate counterattack.

The beating was so severe that Liang Long was in excruciating pain.

finally.

After the seventh game, Qian Zhongtian easily defeated Liang Long with a score of 11:6.

"Aaron, remember this feeling. If Qian Zhongtian really explodes in performance, don't panic!" said Dong Yaobang, the head coach of the men's team, in a deep voice.

Liang Long nodded heavily.

"Feng Ge, it's your turn!"

Next, it was Kong Fengge's turn to face Sun Guanqing.

And it was extremely easy for Li Ying to imitate 'Sun Guanqing'.

Because in last year's Table Tennis Super League, Sun Guanqing and Li Ying were teammates.

of course.

Even if Sun Guanqing is not Li Ying's teammate, with the professional panel, Li Ying can easily simulate the top superstars in table tennis.

Kong Fengge faced off against 'Sun Guanqing' and swept the match 4:1 with great ease.

of course.

Under the manipulation of the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang, "Sun Guanqing" still launched a desperate counterattack.

but.

Kong Fengge became even crazier and went completely mad.

The unruly temperament of the Nine Heavens True Phoenix is ​​displayed to the fullest.

There was no chance given to Sun Guanqing at all.

then.

Only then did the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang take Li Ying, Chen Daqian, Meng Li, Liang Long and Kong Fengge out of the secret billiard room.

on the way back.

Meng Li, Liang Long and Kong Fengge were still filled with shock.

Watching Li Ying and Chen Daqian enter the elevator, they suddenly thought of a question.

"Then can Ah Ying also imitate us easily?" Meng Li asked bluntly without thinking.

As soon as these words came out.

Meng Li and Kong Fengge both vaguely looked at the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang.

"What do you think?"

Men's team head coach Dong Yaobang said with a chuckle.

Mengli, Liang Long and Kong Fengge did not dare to imagine in depth or detail, otherwise their self-confidence would be completely destroyed.
