Chapter 177 2011 ITTF Tour Finals and London Olympic Test Event
United Kingdom.

London.

The Xiaguo national table tennis team sent a large lineup of 6 men's singles and 5 women's singles to participate in this competition.

Men's doubles.

The doubles teams of Ma Qing/Kong Fengge and Liang Long/Meng Li both participated in the competition and were respectively in the upper and lower half of the draw.

Theoretically, there is a chance that they can meet in the finals.

but.

Many famous men's doubles combinations in today's international table tennis world are present at this ITTF Pro Tour Grand Finals.

By German twins Tim/Dimitri, there are French brothers Felix.

In addition, Tomoaki Furukawa also formed a men's doubles combination with Atsushi Naganuma.

Players like Zhao Dongyuan, Qian Zhongtian and Sun Guanqing have formed men's doubles combinations.

It can be said.

The men's doubles is also star-studded.

The men's singles draw will be released on November 11rd.

at this time.

Chen Daqian and Li Ying studied the draw list together.

Chen Daqian smiled and said, "According to this draw, Liang Long, Meng Li, and Xu Guinian are in the upper half. It remains to be seen whether any of them can successfully meet in the semi-finals."

"In the lower half, you, Ma Qing, and Kong Fengge are all here. If nothing unexpected happens, the semi-finals in the lower half should still be between you and Kong Fengge!"

"Brother Qian, there are many strong people this time. Look at the top 16, each one of them is strong." Li Ying said with a smile.

"Among the top 16, our Xia country's men's table tennis team occupies six places, followed by the German twins, Tomoaki Furukawa and Atsushi Naganuma from Ryuo Country, three table tennis geniuses, Truus, Felix, and Ford from the UK."

“Yes, the lineup for the 2011 ITTF Grand Prix is indeed very strong,” Chen Daqian said with a smile.

Right now.

Wang Xianlan called.

"Little win!"

Because they were going to participate in the finals, Li Ying and Wang Xianlan both abstained from sex before the game.

"I looked at the women's singles draw. You are in the upper half. If nothing unexpected happens, your semi-final opponent in the upper half should be Xu Mingyue!" Li Ying said with a smile.

"Well, in the lower half, Sister Xia and Sister Ning will meet in the end!" Wang Xianlan won the previous Women's World Cup with great success.

After winning two open championships, she dispelled the rumors that she was not worthy of being the leader of the women's table tennis team.

This time.

In the finals, Wang Xianlan is bound to win.

"Since you are not participating in the women's doubles, you can just concentrate on the women's singles." Li Ying said with a smile.

this year.

On the women's team side, the main number one team for women's doubles is Xu Mingyue/Ji Chuanxia.

Among the women's table tennis team, only Wang Xianlan/Qiao Yuning can compete with them.

if not.

Other women's doubles combinations are no match for them.

and so.

Even if the women's doubles team only sends out one pair, the women's team feels that winning the championship is more secure than the men's team's double insurance.

after all.

The men's team had double insurance and did not have the strongest lineup.

If Li Ying and Xu Guinian were to pair up in men's doubles, it can be said that they would be absolutely sure to sweep any men's doubles combination in the world.

but.

In this final, it is impossible for Li Ying and Xu Guinian to be paired up temporarily.

because.

The ITTF has its own rules.

unless.

This year, Li Ying/Xu Guinian participated in many open tournaments to qualify.

After talking on the phone for a long time, Li Ying fell asleep immediately.

11 month 25 number.

The 2011 ITTF Grand Prix Finals and London Olympic Games Test Tournament officially kicked off.

The first match to start is the women's singles 1/8 finals.

At 3 a.m. Beijing time, which was 19 p.m. the night before in London local time, the men's singles quarter-finals began.

But this has nothing to do with Li Ying.

Because Li Ying's match could not be scheduled at 19: in the evening, it had to be finished at the beginning.

Li Ying will appear on stage at 5 a.m. in the capital, which is 21 p.m. local time in London.

at this time.

This is when London's stadiums are most crowded.

It can be said.

The International Table Tennis Federation has taken great pains to arrange the order of the competition.

at this time.

Li Ying was training silently.

Anyway.

Now the entire Chinese table tennis team has moved to London.

only.

Li Ying’s sparring partner was not Lin Wangyuan.

because.

Lin Wangyuan went to participate in the competition.

The 2011 ITTF Grand Prix also has a U21 group.

In the national table tennis team, not only Lin Wangyuan, but also the three young players from 92 were all sent to participate in the competition.

and so.

At this time, Li Ying's sparring partner was Su Yan.

Because Liang Long, Kong Fengge, Meng Li, Ma Qing and Xu Guinian are all going to participate in the competition, it is impossible for them to come and serve as sparring partners for Li Ying.

but.

Su Yan only acted like that for a while.

After a while, it was Chen Daqian's turn to come on stage.

And then.

The idle head coach of the men's team, Dong Yaobang, began to personally instruct Li Ying.

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang served the ball quickly and asked Li Ying to pull the ball.

With this series of fast serves, Li Ying had to hit the ball with high quality, which made Li Ying very tired.

Time passed quickly and Li Ying was about to play.

As Li Ying's off-court coach, Chen Daqian took Li Ying to the game.

this moment.

Li Ying glanced at his opponent.

Tomoaki Furukawa!

at this time.

Tomoaki Furukawa's face was full of bitterness.

He never thought that his luck was so bad that he actually drew Li Ying in the first round.

At this moment.

Chen Daqian said in a deep voice: "The first round of matches for the other national table tennis players have all ended. Currently, half of the Xia national table tennis team has been lost!"

Hearing this, Li Ying looked at Chen Daqian curiously.

Just now, Chen Daqian was with him the whole time.

"You just went to change your clothes. I saw it on the big screen. Xu Guinian and Meng Li in the upper half were not able to make it past the first round, and Ma Qing in the lower half was not able to make it past the first round either!"

"In the upper half, the Xia country's national table tennis team only has Liang Long left. In other words, it is now Liang Long's turn to guard this half alone!"

"As for the lower half, there are you and Kong Fengge, so there's no need for anyone to worry about them!"

Chen Daqian smiled.

"It doesn't matter. It depends on whether Brother Long can hold on!" Li Ying said with a smile.

at this time.

The game hasn't started yet.

Furukawa Tomoaki suddenly roared.

Li Ying was shocked.

then.

He looked at Tomoaki Furukawa with an unfriendly look.

Li Ying swore in his heart that in this game, he would never give Furukawa Tomoaki a chance to shout out!

only.

What made Li Ying speechless was.

Whether Tomoaki Furukawa won or lost, he would shout loudly.

Even if we lose, we still shout.

Li Ying is so depressed.

only.

Li Ying's attacks became more and more ruthless.

In this case.

Tomoaki Furukawa only lasted four games before being defeated.

Li Ying won four straight sets, defeating Tomoaki Furukawa 4-0 and advancing to the quarterfinals.

The game is over.

Li Ying naturally returned to the hotel with Chen Daqian.

"The four quarterfinalists in the upper half are Liang Long, Sun Guanqing, Truth, and Thiem!"

"For the lower half, it's Dimitri, Zhao Dongyuan, you, and Kong Fengge!" "But, in the quarter-finals, you will fight with Kong Fengge, and then only one of you can enter the semi-finals!" Chen Daqian said with a wry smile.

Li Ying smiled and said, "That's fine. We'll have to fight sooner or later anyway. Whoever wins will be the champion of this year's year-end finals!"

Li Ying is full of strong self-confidence.

Previously.

In the World Cup, even if Kong Fengge exerted the combat power of the third level of demigod, he was not able to defeat him.

Now.

Li Ying clearly felt it.

In terms of strength and form, Kong Fengge's current performance is not as good as that in the World Cup.

But it's obvious.

Kong Fengge doesn't think so.

"Feng Ge, you are much more reserved now!"

In the hotel room, Liao Huazhong looked at Kong Fengge.

The Kong Fengge who played in today's game was completely different from the Kong Fengge he knew.

Low-key, totally unlike the unruly Nine Heavens True Phoenix.

He is not the heroic and proud Kong Fengge at all.

"Coach, I've thought a lot. I feel that if I want to be arrogant, I must do so after defeating Li Ying. Otherwise, before defeating him, I have no qualifications to be arrogant!" Kong Fengge said in a deep voice.

Liao Huazhong shook his head slightly. "I think it's good that you maintain your personality. And it's because of your unruly personality that you can attract so many fans in Xia Country. Now your fans are second only to Li Ying!"

Kong Fengge smiled bitterly and said, "Unruly, coach, is there anyone unruly in our team now? To be more precise, is there anyone who dares to talk down to him in front of A Ying? Brother Su, don't you have a hot temper? Brother Su, aren't you unruly? Look at how well-behaved he is in front of A Ying!"

this moment.

Hearing this, Liao Huazhong also fell silent.

Because today.

I heard that it was Su Yan who took the initiative to serve as Li Ying's sparring partner.

And Su Yan!
When he was in the Xia national team, he was known as the God of Killing.

Even the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang was unable to make Su Yan surrender and submit.

but.

Su Yan was indeed defeated by Li Ying.

There was no other way but to use pure strength to completely defeat Su Yan's rebellious character.

"No matter what, you will play against Aying again tomorrow and give it a try. Anyway, we have nothing to lose!" Liao Huazhong said in a deep voice.

The closer it gets to this moment, the closer Liao Huazhong and Kong Fengge become spiritually, because they have a common goal, which is to defeat Li Ying.

11 month 26 number.

The men's singles quarter-finals kicked off at 14:15 p.m. and 1:4 p.m. local time in London.

The words before.

For example, the women's doubles quarter-finals and men's doubles semi-finals have already been played.

The Xiaguo men's table tennis team failed to realize their wish of successfully reaching the men's doubles final.

Ma Qing/Kong Fengge lost to the German twin stars Thiem/Dmitriy and unfortunately stopped in the doubles semi-finals.

In this case.

The final men's doubles final was Liang Long/Monli VS Thiem/Dimitri.

of course.

Now that the men's singles quarter-finals have arrived, the heat of the men's doubles competition has been suddenly suppressed.

Liang Long VS Sun Guanqing!
Tim VS Truth!
This is the quarter-finals of the upper half.

In order to enter the semi-finals in the lower half, Li Ying will engage in a fierce battle with Kong Fengge.

then.

It's Zhao Dongyuan vs. Dimitri.

The duel between Li Ying and Kong Fengge was naturally the finale.

In this case.

Li Ying didn't train much.

There is also time to watch the game on the big screen.

Liang Long fought for seven rounds and defeated Sun Guanqing in the seventh and final round, thus advancing into the semi-finals!

Liang Long had a hard time fighting.

Because Sun Guanqing came fully prepared and targeted Liang Long's weaknesses.

But in the end.

Li Ying saw that Liang Long's skills had begun to transform into the ultimate form [Hexagonal Warrior].

In this case.

Sun Guanqing had no choice but to be eliminated in the quarterfinals.

Tim and Truth also fought until the seventh round!

And the critical moment.

Tim's stable mentality enabled him to win the game successfully.

Truth, for his youth, was still taught a lesson.

In this case.

Thiem also reached the semi-finals.

The battle between Dimitri and Zhao Dongyuan was more intense than any other.

Although Zhao Dongyuan, Qian Zhongtian, and Sun Guanqing have always aimed to defeat the Dragon, Phoenix, and Turtle.

They all felt they could replace the Dragon, Phoenix and Turtle.

Therefore.

In their hearts, they unconsciously focused on studying the dragon, phoenix and turtle.

On the contrary, some of the top stars from outsourcing have been overlooked.

As a result, Zhao Dongyuan has paid a heavy price.

After the seventh game, Dimitri swept the final deciding game with a huge score of 11 to 4, which was something Zhao Dongyuan never expected.

but.

He could only reach the quarterfinals.

In this case.

Dimitri reached the semi-finals.

this moment.

Table tennis fans across Europe are excited again!

Because of the top four.

There are German twins again.

and.

If Thiem can defeat Liang Long in the semi-finals in the upper half, and Kong Fengge defeats Li Ying in the lower half, and then Dimitri defeats Kong Fengge, doesn't it mean that the German twins can meet in the final?

then.

this moment.

It's not just fans in Asia.

Just like the last Men's World Cup held in Paris, it seemed as if all the fans in Europe had become Kong Fengge's fans, cheering for him crazily.

because.

European table tennis fans all know that if Dimitri plays against Kong Fengge, the odds are at least 50-50.

and.

Kong Fengge was also defeated by Dimitri!
but.

Li Ying, however, has never failed.

Under such circumstances, European table tennis fans naturally hope to see the fight between Kong Fengge and Li Ying as fiercely as possible.

I most hope to see Kong Fengge defeat Li Ying.

then.

When the battle between Li Ying and Kong Fengge was about to break out, at this moment, the entire stadium was almost entirely filled with Kong Fengge's fans.

Li Ying has only a handful of die-hard fans.

after all.

This is not Xiaguo.

This is abroad.

Most of Li Ying’s die-hard fans are those overseas students from Xia Country, and in the UK, there are only a very small number of Li Ying’s die-hard fans!
but.

There was no disturbance at all in this stadium.

this moment.

They are all the same Kong Fengge.

At this moment.

Although Kong Fengge knew that these fans just came to watch the show!
But no matter what, his heart was still touched at this moment.

No matter how.

These table tennis fans were shouting his name, Kong Fengge.

In this case.

Kong Fengge's combat effectiveness seemed to have increased explosively.

Saw this scene.

Li Ying smiled bitterly.

this moment.
