Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 172 Li Ying and Wang Xianlan win the mixed doubles championship of the National Championship

2011 10 Month 6 Day.

The first round of men's and women's singles in the national championships.

Li Ying, Meng Li, Lin Wangyuan, Yu Xuejian, Yan An, Xu Guinian, Fang Bo, Ma Qing and others are all in the upper half.

In the lower half, there are players of the national men's first team, such as Liang Long, Kong Fengge, Su Yan, Dou Yang, Liu Geng, and Zhou Yu. It can be said that the lower half is not as good as the upper half, which can be called the death half.

As soon as the draw group comes out.

Liang Long and Kong Fengge were the most excited.

because.

According to the singles rounds, one player from each of the upper and lower half emerged and entered the men's singles final of the National Championships.

In other words.

They felt that as long as they defeated each other, they would be able to advance to the men's singles final.

As for the upper half, it depends on whether the main players of the first team such as Mengli, Ma Qing, Xu Guinian, etc. can defeat Li Ying.

First round.

Li Ying naturally passed the test easily.

then.

Li Ying and Wang Xianlan got together to prepare for the mixed doubles match in the afternoon.

"Xiaoying, please eat less!"

The mixed doubles competition will start at 14 p.m., so Li Ying naturally needs to eat and drink enough for lunch.

"It's okay. Eat more now so you can have strength for the game in the afternoon. Today we have to play three mixed doubles games in a row, from the first round to the third round. Tomorrow are the semi-finals and finals of the mixed doubles!" Li Ying said with a smile.

"really envy you!"

Wang Xianlan's eyes were full of envy, because in order to maintain her figure, she dared not eat and drink as much as Li Ying did.

More importantly.

No matter how much Li Ying eats, he can't gain weight.

How could Wang Xianlan not be jealous?

in the afternoon.

First, the first round of draws for the men's and women's teams will be conducted, but it has nothing to do with Li Ying. Naturally, the Lingnan provincial team's head coach Meng Enming and others will be in charge of these.

Li Ying only needs to take Wang Xianlan with him to play three rounds of mixed doubles.

Play a match with Li Ying.

Wang Xianlan felt very relaxed.

Because Li Ying was standing next to her, she was not afraid even if she made mistakes, the quality of her return was not very high, or the opponent hit a smash.

In retrospect.

Facing the combination of Li Ying/Wang Xianlan, no matter which mixed doubles pair they meet, they will play with trepidation.

After three rounds of mixed doubles competition, they easily advanced to the mixed doubles quarterfinals.

19 pm.

Second round of men's and women's singles.

of course.

There are also the first and second rounds of men's doubles, but doubles has nothing to do with Li Ying.

but.

Li Ying still came to the scene to cheer.

The people who should be cheering for them are naturally the Chen Daqian/Xu Guinian duo.

because.

Li Ying was forcibly called by Chen Daqian to be their off-field coach.

then.

When Chen Daqian/Xu Guinian were playing, reporters from the news media saw that it was Li Ying sitting on the sidelines.

All of a sudden.

I don’t know how many cameras were recording this scene.

and.

CCTV Sports Channel also broadcast the doubles match between Chen Daqian and Xu Guinian.

It is clear.

When CCTV Sports Channel did this, it was clearly not targeting Chen Daqian/Xu Guinian.

It was directed at Li Ying.

Because until now, CCTV Sports Channel has also discovered it.

Whenever Li Ying appears in the camera, the ratings are exceptionally high.

On the contrary, the ratings were exceptionally low.

then.

When CCTV Sports Channel was broadcasting the men's doubles match live, other professional athletes on the Internet couldn't help but post on Weibo, mocking the sports channel in a sarcastic manner.

Because the opponent is not particularly strong.

and so.

As an off-field coach, Li Ying had no chance to perform at all.

because.

No need to point out any errors.

Li Ying's role as an off-court coach is to pass water to Chen Daqian/Xu Guinian.

After two rounds of men's doubles matches, Li Ying looked at Chen Daqian with great resentment.

"Brother Qian, you haven't encountered any strong enemies at all, yet you still let me be your off-field coach. I am just being a lonely off-field coach!"

Li Ying smiled bitterly.

"Aying, don't talk so much. Those were the first two rounds of the men's doubles competition, and we didn't encounter any particularly strong opponents. If we had met the Ma Qing/Meng Li combination, Liang Long/Kong Fengge combination, etc. in the later stages, do you think we could have passed it so easily?" Chen Daqian said with a smile.

It is clear.

In Chen Daqian's heart.

I want to win the men's doubles title at this year's national championship.

but.

There are many teams in the men's doubles competition of this year's national championship, and they are all strong competitors.

The strongest ones are still Ma Qing/Meng Li and Liang Long/Kong Fengge.

"It's okay, just try your best." Li Ying didn't dare to guarantee that Chen Daqian/Xu Guinian would be able to defeat the Ma Qing/Meng Li combination or the Liang Long/Kong Fengge combination.

soon.

Li Ying easily won the second round of men's singles.

10 month 7 day.

The mixed doubles quarter-finals begin.

Li Ying took Wang Xianlan to fly again.

In this case.

The mixed doubles semi-finalists have been decided.

Li Ying/Wang Xianlan, the other three pairs are the mixed doubles combinations led by Xu Guinian, Yu Xuejian and Fang Bo.

And among them.

The mixed doubles combination led by Yu Xuejian won the mixed doubles championship at this year's Rotterdam World Table Tennis Championships and is particularly competitive.

In the mixed doubles semi-finals, Li Ying/Wang Xianlan will face off against the mixed doubles combination led by Fang Bo.

On the other side, in the mixed doubles semi-finals, Xu Guinian and Yu Xuejian fought against each other.

However, the mixed doubles semi-finals, mixed doubles finals and even the award ceremony will not be held until 14 p.m.

at this time.

The men's singles started the 1/8 finals.

finally.

The 1/8 finals are over.

The top eight of the men's singles of the 2011 National Table Tennis Championships have been announced.

Li Ying, Liang Long, Meng Li, Ma Qing, Kong Fengge, Dou Yang, Xu Guinian, Su Yan.

14 pm.

Men's doubles quarter-finals.

Under the guidance of Li Ying, Chen Daqian/Xu Guinian made it into the men's doubles semi-finals without any major problems.

And finally.

The top four in men's doubles are Ma Qing/Meng Li, Liang Long/Kong Fengge, Chen Daqian/Xu Guinian, and Su Yan/Yan An.

Chen Daqian/Xu Guinian have good luck.

The battle in the men's doubles semi-finals is against Su Yan/Yan An.

In other words.

Meng Li/Ma Qing and Liang Long/Kong Fengge will fight to the end to compete for the other spot in the men's doubles final.

But this time.

Li Ying has stopped thinking about the men's doubles competition for the time being.

He's not participating anyway.

Mixed doubles semi-finals.

Li Ying/Wang Xianlan easily defeated the mixed doubles combination led by Fang Bo.

Even if the opponent launches a desperate counterattack, the gap in strength is still quite large, so it is impossible to compete.

And the semi-finals in the other half of the mixed doubles.

The mixed doubles team led by Xu Guinian and Yu Xuejian fought till the deciding game.

Perhaps in terms of absolute strength, Xu Guinian is naturally superior to Yu Xuejian.

but.

In the mixed doubles combination, Yu Xuejian and his teammates have an absolute advantage.

Train together often.

But Xu Guinian is different.

His mixed doubles partner was a temporary pairing.

Then.

In terms of cooperation, they are naturally not as good as Yu Xuejian and others.

and so.

In the deciding game, even though Xu Guinian was a natural doubles saint, he still stopped in the mixed doubles semi-finals and was blocked from entering the finals.

but.

After the mixed doubles semi-finals, the mixed doubles final was held soon.

Mixed doubles final. Many table tennis players came to watch the game.

Everybody wants to see it.

Can the mixed doubles champion of this year's World Table Tennis Championships defeat the mixed doubles combination of Li Ying/Wang Xianlan?

Before the game.

Yu Xuejian is full of confidence.

"Aying, I won't let you win the mixed doubles championship!"

Yu Xuejian smiled confidently.

"Brother Jian, it's okay. It all depends on your own strength."

Li Ying smiled.

Because we are so familiar with each other, there is no need to say harsh words.

However, when it came to the game, Li Ying started to use his fatal moves.

Be it Li Ying's serve or return, the quality is extremely high.

Yu Xuejian was beaten so badly that he was totally disoriented.

Saw this scene.

Xu Guinian laughed out loud.

"I lost in the mixed doubles semi-finals. Why wasn't I upset? It was because I knew that even if I made it to the mixed doubles finals, it would be hard to resist that beast, Ah Ying!"

Li Ying and Wang Xianlan directly shut out the opponent.

4-0, easily won the mixed doubles championship.

The game is over.

Yu Xuejian finally understood.

Why do the absolute main players in Team One listen to Li Ying so much?

Why Li Ying has the final say in the national team.

Before playing against Li Ying, looking at Li Ying's words was like looking at the moon in a well.

But when it comes to actually playing against Li Ying, as an opponent, it's like a mayfly seeing the sky.

Wang Xianlan was happy and Li Ying was even happier after winning the mixed doubles championship.

The reason why Li Ying was happy was because he saw Wang Xianlan was very happy.

After the award ceremony.

Wang Xianlan put her medal around Li Ying's neck.

Li Ying naturally put his medal on Wang Xianlan personally.

19 pm.

Men's singles quarter-finals.

In the upper half, Li Ying VS Meng Li, Ma Qing VS Xu Guinian.

If nothing unexpected happens, the semi-final match will be against Ma Qing.

In the lower half, Liang Long and Kong Fengge will face Su Yan and Dou Yang respectively.

In the semi-finals of the lower half, it is probably more likely that Liang Long and Kong Fengge will play against each other.

Mengli was obviously unhappy to meet Li Ying in the quarter-finals.

But there is no way.

That's how the draw works.

Mengli had no choice but to give it a try.

but.

Even though he tried his best, he only won two games from Li Ying.

finally.

Li Ying defeated Mengli 4-2.

the other side.

The straight-blade battle between Ma Qing and Xu Guinian was very crazy.

The battle lasted for seven rounds.

In the seventh game, Ma Qing showed his immense experience and tried every possible means to finally cause Xu Guinian to lose his balance and then won the game.

After losing the game.

Xu Guinian was depressed.

because.

He was not defeated by Ma Qing purely because of his hard power.

Moreover, Ma Qing influenced his mentality through various small actions.

Xu Guinian swore in his heart that he would take revenge when he met Ma Qing in the men's doubles match.

finally.

In the upper half, it is Li Ying VS Ma Qing.

Lower half.

Liang Long and Kong Fengge are stronger than their opponents.

finally.

They played in the men's singles semi-finals in the lower half.

of course.

The game is tomorrow.

night.

Return to your hotel.

Xu Guinian still felt angry.

"Brother Qian, if we meet Ma Qing and the others in the doubles finals, we will beat them to death. It's so hateful that they are playing dirty tricks on me!" Xu Guinian said indignantly.

As soon as these words came out.

Chen Daqian shook his head slightly.

"Anian, when will you be able to mature mentally? You should learn from Aying. Every time facing Ma Qing, he is always calm and composed. Ma Qing is slow, and Aying is even slower, but his mentality is not affected at all. But why are you so impatient when playing? Are you going to do something after playing?" Chen Daqian scolded directly.

after all.

Chen Daqian is Xu Guinian's senior, and they are both in the Magic City team. Regardless of identity or status, Chen Daqian is qualified to teach Xu Guinian a lesson.

After being taught a lesson by Chen Daqian, Xu Guinian certainly did not dare to resist.

"Brother Qian, it's not like you haven't encountered this before. It's really annoying!" Xu Guinian couldn't help but defend himself.

"Really? Then why wasn't I angry when I encountered that?" Chen Daqian asked back, and directly gave Xu Guinian no choice.

Xu Guinian muttered in a low voice: "That's naturally because among the thousand-mile horses, you restrain Ma Qing."

"Okay, go back and rest early. Since you want revenge, there are plenty of opportunities. However, you need to be strong. Anyway, you also know that Brother Qian's strength is not as good as Ma Qing and Meng Li. In the doubles match, you have to perform at the absolute main force level!" Li Ying said with a smile.

After hearing this, Chen Daqian became unhappy.

"A Ying, what do you mean my strength is not as good as Meng Li and Ma Qing?"

"Brother Qian, it is purely literal meaning." Li Ying quickly turned a blind eye.

Hearing this, Xu Guinian also nodded heavily.

Chen Daqian: “…”

After Xu Guinian left.

Chen Daqian shook his head completely.

"A Ying, with A Nian's personality, when will he fully mature? In the current national team, Meng Li and Ma Qing are still good at fighting. Liang Long and Kong Fengge have already emerged. But he, at present, can't even get an Olympic p card."

Chen Daqian is really good to Xu Guinian, that's why he is so worried about him.

"Brother Qian, everything will work out when the time comes. Perhaps, by the next Olympic cycle, Brother Xu will be able to truly mature!" Li Ying said with a smile.

"I hope so. Otherwise, he will really have no future in the national team!" Chen Daqian was still worried.

Because it seems so far.

In singles, Xu Guinian indeed finds it difficult to compete with Liang Long and Kong Fengge.

However, when it comes to doubles, Xu Guinian is absolutely confident.

In the Olympic team competition, there is a doubles match.

In this case.

It is not impossible for Xu Guinian to perform well in the next Olympic cycle.

but.

That's still too far away.

now.

The London cycle is not over yet.

July 10th, Saturday.
