Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 182 Sports Festival, Li Ying won the Best Male Athlete, Wang Xianlan had a good start in the new year
The Chinese national table tennis team's 2011 winter training session was held in Lucheng.

Winter training is a closed training session.

Li Ying devoted himself to training, honing all his table tennis skills.

Because now.

Even the skill that I am least good at has 99 points.

Li Ying also has many perfect skills, which together constitute Li Ying's unique skills system.

When it comes to table tennis tricks, Li Ying has the most among the members of the national men's team.

Time flies and it is January 2012, 1.

imperial capital.

Li Ying, Liang Long and Xu Guinian are walking on the red carpet behind Dong Yaobang, the head coach of the men's national table tennis team of the Xia country.

When the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang led the team, Li Ying, Liang Long and Xu Guinian were all dressed in suits, showing their extremely cool male god style. At this moment, the fans at the scene let out earth-shaking screams.

"Li Ying! Li Ying! Li Ying!"

"Diplodocus! Diplodocus! Diplodocus!"

"Xu Guinian! Xu Guinian! Xu Guinian!"

of course.

Li Ying has the most die-hard fans.

at this time.

Hearing the fans' crazy screams, Li Ying waved his hands and greeted the fans.

This drove the fans even more crazy.

If it weren't for the strong security on site, many fans would have rushed onto the red carpet.

After walking the red carpet and signing autographs.

The men's team head coach Dong Yaobang immediately accepted the interview.

"I have been nominated for the best coach award many times. I was very happy to win it once. I hope to have the opportunity to win it again. But this time I have a new goal. I hope to win the best team award." Dong Yaobang, head coach of the men's team, said with a smile.

In 2011, the Chinese table tennis team won all major competitions. This awards ceremony received four nominations, namely Li Ying for Best Male Athlete, Wang Xianlan for Best Female Athlete, the Men's Table Tennis Team for Best Team and Dong Yaobang for Best Coach.

But Wang Xianlan did not come to the scene.

Because Wang Xianlan is still in Yangcheng.

At this moment, after the reporters finished interviewing the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang, they immediately came to Li Ying, Liang Long and Xu Guinian.

this moment.

Li Ying is signing autographs with fans.

then.

The media reporters only interviewed Liang Long and Xu Guinian!

"Several nominated teams have achieved excellent results, including the table tennis team, badminton team, gymnastics team, etc. They all won important championships in 2011. Everyone is looking forward to getting the team award. Chinese people have a strong sense of teamwork, and I hope the table tennis team can win it," said Xu Guinian.

Liang Long said frankly: "As an athlete, it is everyone's dream to be the best, which represents everyone's recognition. The coach's decision to let us come this time is also an encouragement for us to strive for such an opportunity."

After a brief interview, the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang brought Li Ying, Liang Long and Xu Guinian to the 2011 CCTV Sports Person of the Year Awards Ceremony.

In Xia Country, there are many sports stars, and each of them is quite influential.

In the end, Li Ying won the Best Male Athlete.

Wang Xianlan did not win the Best Female Athlete award because she was a female tennis player.

The men's team did not win the best team award, which was won by the Xia country women's volleyball team.

The best coach award ultimately did not go to the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang.

In other words.

Of the four nominations received by the Xia Guo table tennis team, only Li Ying got what he wanted in the end.

All of a sudden.

There is a lot of discussion on the Internet about the 2011 CCTV Sports Person of the Year Awards Ceremony.

among them.

Li Ying, who won the Best Male Athlete award, once again topped the hot searches.

But this time.

Li Ying, however, saw off Liang Long and Xu Guinian at the Imperial Capital International Airport.

"Brother Long, Brother Xu, I wish you a triumphant return!" Li Ying gave his sincere blessings before boarding the plane.

Liang Long and Xu Guinian nodded heavily and then boarded the plane.

On January 1, the new season of the International Table Tennis Federation will kick off in Budapest, Hungary. The Xia Guo men's team will send all its main players to the competition. The top two seeds of the tournament, Liang Long and Kong Fengge, will be ranked No. 17 and No. 1 respectively.

Who will break the Lianglong Open's half-year undefeated streak?
Can Ma Qing return to the top?

Can Kong Fengge win the "Dragon and Phoenix Battle"?

The imperial capital, Li Ying’s luxury villa.

this year.

Grandpa and grandma, dad and mom, brothers and sisters, all came to the imperial capital and came to Li Ying's home to celebrate the New Year.

Because now as Li Ying's popularity is getting higher and higher, Li Ying's family in his hometown is already overwhelmed.

and so.

In order to avoid the limelight and also to come to the imperial capital to see the villa purchased by Li Ying, Li Ying's entire family came to the imperial capital.

As for the villa, there are a lot of rooms. Even if the Li family needs five rooms, the villa can easily meet their needs.

My grandparents live in a room on the first floor.

At this moment.

The huge TV hanging on the wall in the living room, a 120-inch luxury LCD TV, was broadcasting the draw for the Hungarian Open.

The draw results have now been announced.

Liang Long and Su Yan are both in the 1/4 zone.
There are not many strong players from associations outside this area, and the two will most likely compete for a place in the top four.

Ma Qing and Xu Guinian are in the same 2/4 zone. If nothing unexpected happens, they will also meet in the quarter-finals. After a winter of recuperation, whether Ma Qing can break the embarrassment of being eliminated in the first round many times last season and return to his peak form will be another highlight.

Compared with the situation in the upper half where there are many Chinese players, there are only Kong Fengge and Meng Li in the lower half.

In doubles, Liang Long will cooperate with Meng Li, and the person who will compete with Kong Fengge is not his old partner Ma Qing, but Xu Guinian.

As the competition for the third man in the Olympics has become increasingly fierce, it is somewhat surprising that Ma Qing and Su Yan will compete together.

Also.

Naturally, many European table tennis stars participated in the competition. After all, this is the ITTF Professional Tour held in Europe.

and.

It’s the first open tournament of the new year.

Early morning of January 1th, Beijing time, the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month.

The 2012 ITTF Hungarian Open started the main competition. In the men's team, Monli withdrew due to a foot injury, and his doubles partner Ma Long also withdrew from the competition. The other five men's singles players of Xiaguo won two games in a row and entered the third round.

蒙里的退赛使得下半区仅剩2号种子孔凤歌一人。首轮他以4-0横扫塞尔维亚的皮特，第二轮面对波兰老将王增羿以又一个4-0(11-9、11-1、11-9、18-16)告捷，昂首跻身16强。张继科将在1/8决赛对阵德国的迪米特里。

In the first round of men's doubles, two pairs of Chinese team passed smoothly.

Li Ying not only pays attention to the men's team, but also the women's team.

This time Wang Xianlan also participated in the open tournament.

In the women's singles, all six of Xia country's golden flowers advanced to the top 16.

The 1th day of the twelfth lunar month, January 21st in the imperial capital time.

五位夏国男单在16进8的比赛中赢得都比较轻松，梁龙、马擎、孔凤歌、苏焱都是以4-1淘汰对手，徐归年则以4-0完胜晋级。

In the men's singles quarterfinals of the 2011 ITTF Hungarian Open, Kong Fengge, the new World Championships and World Cup runner-up, lost 0-4 to a famous Korean chopping player, and suffered a defeat in the first match of the new year. In the Summer Open (Pengcheng) in June last year, Kong Fengge lost to a young Korean player, which was his second defeat in a foreign match in 6 months.

头号种子梁龙在大比分一度1-3落后的绝境下连扳3局4-3惊天逆转苏焱，7局比分为8-11、10-12、11-6、5-11、11-7、11-5、12-10。

此外，徐归年直落四局4-0(13-11、11-3、11-6、11-7)完胜老将马擎。

Liang Long, Xu Guinian and Truss occupy the other three spots in the semi-finals.

In the semi-finals, Liang Long and Xu Guinian will fight against each other, and the other semi-final will be between the Korean chopping star and Truth.

In the men's doubles, Xu Guinian/Kong Fengge first swept a Belgian pair 4-0, and then defeated the men's doubles combination led by Xia Guoxiangjiang and Zhao Dongyuan 4-2 to enter the final.

The re-partnered Ma Qing/Su Yan narrowly defeated the Korean Rising Stars combination and the Turkish men's doubles combination 4-3 respectively, and met Xu Guinian/Kong Fengge in the final.

When Li Ying watched the game, it was naturally the whole family watching together.

"Aying, look at the women's singles. Wang Xianlan, Qiao Yuning, Ji Chuanxia, ​​and Xu Mingyue have advanced to the semifinals. The Xia national team has swept the top four in the women's singles!"

Li Zhenguo laughed.

"Xiao Xianlan also advanced. Is it possible for Xianlan to win the championship this time?" Ying Shimei's only concern is Wang Xianlan.

because.

Now she knows that Wang Xianlan is Li Ying’s girlfriend.

and.

Normally, Wang Xianlan also called her many times.

and so.

They have a very good relationship.

"Brother, in the women's doubles, two pairs from Xia country will also meet in the finals!" Li Ying's younger brother said with a smile.

In the evening of July 1.

2011赛季国际乒联首站比赛——匈牙利站结束了男单半决赛的争夺，梁龙以4-3力克小奶狗，特鲁斯以4-2击败高丽削球名将。

Li Ying watched the entire live broadcast of the game.

The semi-final between Liang Long and Xu Guinian started first. Liang Long got into the game quickly at the beginning and won the first two games with 11-3 and 11-9.

但此后场上形势发生逆转，徐归年以12-10，11-7，11-7扳回三局，将大比分反超为3-2。

The competition between the two sides in the 6th game was extremely fierce, and Liang Long won with a two-point advantage of 11-9.

In the deciding game, Liang Long took the lead 9-5, but Xu Guinian kept his footing and chased the points to tie the game at 9. After that, Liang Long was better at the critical moment and secured the victory with 11-9.

女单半决赛中，王仙兰对阵2号种子季传霞，开局王仙兰便进入状态很快，她凌厉的进攻让李晓霞似乎有些招架不住，以11-8、11-7、11-9连下三城。尽管季传霞在第4局以11-3扳回一城，但王仙兰以11-8拿下第5局，从而以4-1的比分取胜，昂首晋级决赛。

After watching the semi-finals, Li Ying went to bed.

but.

In the early morning, Li Ying woke up again.

When Li Ying woke up, she naturally went to watch the women's singles final.

The first ITTF tournament of the 2011 season - Hungary finally ended the women's singles final.

Wang Xianlan defeated Xu Mingyue 4-2 to win the championship.

Previously, she teamed up with Xu Mingyue to defeat Qiao Yuning/Ji Chuanxia 4-1 and was crowned the double champion.

then.

Li Ying waited silently.

On TV, not long after the award ceremony ended, Wang Xianlan called from across the ocean.

"Xiaoying, did you watch my game?" Wang Xianlan asked excitedly.

"I answered your call immediately. Do you think I read it? Congratulations!" Li Ying said with a smile.

"Well, a good start at the beginning of the new year." Wang Xianlan said with a happy smile.

"That's right, winning both singles and doubles is indeed a good start!" Li Ying said with a smile.

After chatting for a while, Li Ying saw that the men's singles final was about to begin.

"Okay, I'll go watch the men's singles final!" Li Ying said with a smile.

"kindness."

The men's singles final of the first ITTF tournament of the 2012 season - Hungary - kicked off.

At the start of the final, Truss, who was in good form, won the first game 11-7. Liang Long won the next game 11-4.

第3局中，特鲁斯同样以11-4取胜，而梁龙则再以一个11-4拿到第4局。

之前结束的男双决赛中，奥运会、世锦赛金牌搭档马擎/苏焱以4-0完胜孔凤歌/徐归年，比分为11-4，11-4，11-9，11-6。

January 1, Lunar New Year’s Eve.

Li Ying and his family spent a lively Spring Festival in their villa in the imperial capital.

The table was filled with delicious food. Although not as good as those in a restaurant, they were all the dishes that Li Ying liked to eat when he was a child, and many of them were from his hometown.

After dinner, the family gathered together to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

The Spring Festival Gala ended and it was already past midnight.

but.

My younger brothers and sisters were still excited and didn't want to go to bed, so the whole family started playing poker.

We played until three or four in the morning and then went back to our rooms to sleep.

A few days after the Chinese New Year, grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters went back to their hometown, and Li Ying also officially reported to the national team training base.

On the evening of January 1th, Beijing time, the third round of the men's singles competition of the 28 ITTF Slovenia Open ended. Meng Li, Kong Fengge, Liang Long, Ma Qing and Xu Guinian occupied five of the top eight seats.

At the national team training base, Li Ying asked Chen Daqian in confusion.

"Brother Qian, do you think that these eight Vajras will burn themselves and perform at full capacity only when they meet me?" Li Ying said with a smile.

"Of course, after all, everyone wants to defeat you. But don't underestimate your teammates, the Eight Vajras have indeed become the biggest threat to our Xia national table tennis team!" Chen Daqian said with a smile.

In the early morning of January 1th, the ITTF 29 Slovenia Open ended the men's singles quarterfinals competition. Veteran Ma Qing performed well and defeated Monli 2012-4 in the derby to advance. Although it was a civil war, the match between Ma Qing and Monli attracted much attention.

This is Monli's first competition this year due to a foot injury, while Ma Qing has not performed well in international competitions since August last year.

开局双方便陷入缠斗，马擎以12-10险胜，易地再战，蒙里以11-6还以颜色，但这也是蒙里拿到的惟一一局，马擎随后以11-5、11-2、11-7连下三城，以4-1的总比分淘汰蒙里晋级半决赛。

The other three semi-final spots belong to Kong Fengge, Liang Long and Xu Guinian.

In other words.

The Xiaguo team once again swept all four semi-finals.
