Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 189 Li Ying led the team to win the championship, and the men's table tennis team won the sixth consecutive championship in history

And the reason why Kong Fengge is in this situation now.

Because he once again showed his problem of being slow to warm up.

In addition to playing against Li Ying, Kong Fengge was able to mobilize perfectly in the first place and push his condition to the peak.

but.

If the opponent was not Li Ying, Kong Fengge would be very slow to warm up.

In this case.

In a best-of-five format.

It is even possible that they will be slow to warm up at the beginning and eventually lose the game.

in contrast.

As for Liang Long, he is more powerful after coming out of the trough.

Now facing the final, Liang Long performed much more maturely than two years ago.

4月1日晚19点30分，夏国男乒与德国男乒在第51届世乒赛决赛中狭路相逢。

Li Ying, Liang Long and Kong Fengge went into battle.

Li Ying, without a doubt, will play as the first singles player.

In this case.

Li Ying will play in the first and fourth sets.

Liang Long will play second singles and will play in the second and fifth sets.

Kong Fengge is the third singles player.

Kong Fengge's opponent is the third star of the German team.

Today, the Westfalenstadion in Dortmund is packed with nearly 1 spectators cheering like thunder to witness the history of German table tennis.

Although the German team has reached the finals many times, they have never won the Swaythling Cup. Thiem has been struggling to win the championship alone for many years, but finally he has waited for the mature Dimitri, who defeated Monri in last year's Team World Cup.

nowadays.

Men's team head coach Dong Yaobang gives a speech before the game.

Li Ying stood in the middle, Liang Long and Kong Fengge stood on the left and right, and all three stood in front of the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang.

"Our Xiaguo national table tennis team has won five consecutive championships. Now we look forward to setting a record here. No men's team in international table tennis has won six consecutive championships."

"Dortmund is a place of great significance to the Chinese men's table tennis team. In 1959, our predecessors won the first world championship for China here. At that time, the Chinese men's team also participated in the competition, but did not win the championship. In 1989, the men's team lost 0-5 to Sweden."

"The Chinese men's team failed to win the championship twice in Dortmund. I hope we can leave good memories in this city this time."

When the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang finished speaking, Li Ying, Liang Long and Kong Fengge all nodded.

then.

Liang Long and Kong Fengge left.

At this time, Li Ying was left alone.

Li Ying, the 2011 World Table Tennis Championships and World Cup double champion, will play as the pioneer against the opposing team's top player Thiem.

Men's team finals.

The German team had no intention of holding back at all.

If it were any other team competition, they would try to avoid Li Ying, the strongest spear.

Find a breakthrough from Liang Long and Kong Fengge.

But now.

The German team knows this very well.

Liang Long and Kong Fengge are not people who have gained their fame for nothing.

not to mention.

Is it really possible to win the championship by avoiding fighting with Li Ying?
If you want to win the championship, you must defeat Li Ying head-on.

Dimitri will play as the second singles player, and it is obvious that he will also have to face Liang Long head-on.

It is clear.

There is no way the German team will show any weakness in their home stadium.

Tactics, that doesn't exist.

soon.

The shocking battle between Li Ying and Tim broke out in an instant.

Germany's top player, Thiem, has repeatedly caused trouble for the Xiaguo team in team competitions.

He defeated Ma Qing and Liang Long in 2006 and 2010 respectively.

Nowadays.

At this moment, in his own home court, Li Ying could clearly feel that Tim was completely burning himself and performing at an explosive level.

It is clear.

Tim will try to defeat Li Ying with the advantage of his home court.

to this end.

Tim tried his best from the beginning.

In this case, the two sides started off in a stalemate. In the final game, Li Ying took a 9-7 advantage, but was tied by Tim at 9. After the score was tied at 10, Li Ying scored two points in a row and won the first game 12-10.

After changing the venue, Li Ying took advantage of the situation and won another game with 11-6.

In the third game, Tim was as crazy as if he was using the Demon Disintegration technique.

Li Ying fell behind 1-3 at the start and was unable to catch up, losing 9-11.

In the 4th game, Tim once again became extremely strong with the blessing of his home court.

李赢以6-10落后挽救4个局，却终究以10-12再失一局。

In the deciding game, Li Ying got off to an excellent start of 6-0, but was caught up by two points.

Men's team head coach Dong Yaobang requested a timeout, and Li Ying eventually secured the victory with 11-6, helping the Chinese team get off to a good start.

Although Li Ying won the victory, it was 3 to 2.

After Li Ying left the court.

The men's team coach Dong Yaobang took the opportunity to warn Liang Long and Kong Fengge: "You must be extremely careful today and don't slack off."

"Aying even beat his opponent 3-2. It is conceivable that in their home court, the German players can burst out with unparalleled strength!"

"The morale of the German players must be very strong nowadays."

"Aaron, please don't flip the car."

Liang Long nodded heavily.

In the second set, Liang Long played against Dimitri. At the beginning, Liang Long got into the game very quickly, played his advantages to the fullest, and won easily with 2-11.

After changing places, Dimitri started with 5-1 and maintained the advantage in the middle game. After 9-5, Liang Long chased to 7-9. Dimitri requested a timeout, but this timeout did not help him recover from the loss. Liang Long continued to fight and won with a reversal of 11-9.

第3局梁龙以3-0开局，进入中局双方连续战成4平、5平、6平，梁龙随后发力，以10-7取得3个盘点。

被追成10-9后请求暂停，但随后仍旧被大麦田反超为11-10，关键时刻梁龙毫不手软，以13-11取胜，夏国队大分取得2-0的优势。

In the third set, Kong Fengge faced Germany's third star. In the first set, the opponent fought fiercely, but Kong Fengge failed to get into the game in time and lost the first game 3-8.

After changing the venue, Kong Fengge gradually found his touch and pulled back the game with 11-5.

In the 3rd game, Kong Fengge continued his efforts and won another game with 11-5.

第4局孔凤歌以5-2开局，但手握德国队最后希望的德国三号球星并未放弃，顽强地追至7平、8平、9平、10平，但孔凤歌以11-10拿到赛点，随着孔凤歌的大力回球对手未能接住。

In this way, Kong Fengge also helped the Xiaguo team win the Swaythling Cup for the sixth consecutive time.

This is also the 18th time that the Xiaguo team has won the men's team title at the World Table Tennis Championships.

After winning the championship.

The five main players of the national table tennis team were all very excited.

Many journalists gathered around.

some of.

The first person to get an interview opportunity was a reporter from CCTV Sports Channel.

Dong Yaobang, the head coach of the men's team, said happily: "The players of the Xiaguo team are the best. Any of the five players will win. This time, the two young players are playing in the front. It's time to train them. Germany is at home and the opponent is so strong. They have withstood the test."

It is clear.

Li Ying has led his team to win the championship twice in a row, demonstrating his overwhelming dominance.

after all.

As long as Li Ying is given a helper, it can be said that as long as Li Ying participates in the team competition, the team will be invincible.

then.

The five main players of the Chinese national table tennis team were all being interviewed by reporters.

some of.

The largest number of reporters surrounded Li Ying.

and.

Each is a global media giant.

It is clear.

Li Ying's current popularity has become a complete phenomenon.

There are so many sports stars around the world, including many superstars in football, sprinting, etc.

But now.

Li Ying's fame is truly known around the world.

No less than those football and running stars.

At noon on April 4, the Xiaguo table tennis team, which won both the men's and women's team championships at the 3st World Table Tennis Championships, returned to the capital.

Ma Qing, who was unable to play in this competition, was interviewed by reporters at the airport.

"As athletes, we all hope to play in the competition and win honor for our team and our country in the final."

Ma Qing laughed.

"But I think the most important thing is that as long as the team makes such a decision, I must obey it unconditionally and still focus on the overall situation as long as the team can win."

Since being selected for the World Table Tennis Championships team in 2000, Ma Qing has participated in the team competition for the sixth time. His experience is unmatched in the team. However, when asked whether he often gives advice to the young players, he said, "Not really. In this kind of competition, everyone will exchange experiences with each other, learn from the successes and failures, and make fewer mistakes on the field."

Imperial Capital Training Base.

The men's and women's national table tennis teams gathered together.

National team head coach Cai Zhenxia is giving a summary.

"This is the most important competition before the London Olympics. In such a tense atmosphere, our players held up, withstood the test, performed very well technically and tactically, and the whole team is very confident."

"Of course, we can see from the game that there are still problems of one kind or another, and we haven't played to our full potential, but in such a tense situation, it's impossible for anyone not to compromise."

"Being able to survive difficult situations is progress. Especially for the women's team, which has the shadow of failure in the past, facing old rivals in the final this time is a test for everyone. Of course, through this competition, we must also see the problems on the basis of improving our confidence and solve them in the next targeted training."

"The first match in a team final is often the most crucial. Letting the two young athletes play first also shows the coaching staff's trust in them. Qiao Yuning, in particular, lost the first match of the final at the last World Table Tennis Championships in Moscow, but this time he withstood the pressure and stood the test."

"Li Ying faced the top player of the host German team in the final, which put him under great pressure. After Thiem's ​​morale improved in the second half of the set, he was able to withstand the pressure, which shows that he still has strong self-confidence."

"The Xiaguo national table tennis team will begin physical training and adjustments this weekend."

"The selection of the Chinese table tennis team for the Asian Table Tennis Olympic Qualifying Tournament will be made next week, but the three-person roster for the London Olympics will not be confirmed until May 3."

After the summary meeting.

After the coaching team finished their meeting, Chen Daqian came to find Li Ying.

"Aying, the 4th Asian Cup Table Tennis Tournament will be held in Yangcheng from April 6th to 8th. After careful consideration by the coaching staff, the Xia national men's table tennis team sent Kong Fengge and Xu Guinian to participate!"

Chen Daqian felt a little embarrassed when he spoke.

"Brother Qian, what's the big deal? Didn't I participate in the Asian Cup last year? Let Liang Long go, and then Liang Long won the Asian Cup last year." Li Ying said with a smile.

Li Ying didn't care at all.

Because now.

Singles champions in intercontinental competitions such as the Asian Cup can no longer increase their strength points.

It can't increase even by 0.1.

It has to be one of the world's top three competitions.

"It is probably because Liang Long won the championship last year that the coaching staff decided to give Kong Fengge and Xu Guinian a chance this year," Li Ying said with a smile.

"Last year's Asian Cup was held in Star City. The Asian Cup is held once a year, and its value is not as high as the Asian Championship." Chen Daqian said with a smile.

Subsequently.

Wang Xianlan came to find Li Ying.

"Xiaoying, I want to participate in this year's Asian Cup!" Wang Xianlan said with a smile.

now.

Li Ying also knows the list of the women's team.

"This is interesting. What are your women's table tennis coaching staff thinking? You didn't send Qiao Yuning and Ji Chuanxia, ​​but let you compete with the second team members! Could it be that they want to guarantee you to win the Asian Cup?" Li Ying laughed jokingly.

"With my strength, do I need a recommendation?" Wang Xianlan said proudly.

"Yes, our Xianlan is the strongest!" Li Ying said with a smile.

"Then can you go to Yangcheng with me?" Wang Xianlan then revealed her real purpose.

"I'll go to Yangcheng with you?" Li Ying agreed immediately, "Okay."

Although you should abstain from sex before a big competition, you can indulge yourself after the competition.

not to mention.

This was Wang Xianlan's request, so Li Ying naturally had to meet it.

4月8日晚，第25届亚洲杯乒乓球赛结束了女单决赛的争夺，王仙兰以4-0完胜国家队队友。

In the men's singles final, facing the powerful Tomoaki Furukawa, Xu Guinian's straight-blade attack was sharp and he swept his opponent 11-6, 12-10, 11-6 and 11-6 to win the Asian Cup championship for the first time.

As for Kong Fengge, there was a big upset in the quarterfinals. In the match against the Iranian player, Kong Fengge took the first game 11-8.

After changing places, the scores of both sides were quite close. After being tied at 13, the opponent evened the score at 15-13.

In the third game, the Iranian player continued his efforts and reversed the score to 3-11.

而2-1的优势也让伊朗选手更加自信，以11-6、12-10连下两局，以4-1锁定胜局。

After the Asian Cup.

Li Ying was in Yangcheng, living a happy life with Wang Xianlan.

On April 4, the 23 ITTF World Tour Spanish Open came to an end.

Sun Guanqing of Xia Guobao Island won the men's singles championship, and Naganuma Atsushi/Furukawa Tomoaki of Ryuo won the men's doubles championship.

The Xia national table tennis team did not send anyone to participate in this open tournament.

The Asian team is led by world champion Dou Yang from Xiaguo, and other members include Atsushi Naganuma, Sun Guanqing, Zhao Dongyuan, and Qian Zhongtian. The head coach of the Asian team is the national team coach Wu Weijin.

Thiem did not play for the European team. The highest ranked player was another German, Dimitri.

Since the host city of this event, Tianjin, is the hometown of Xia national team player Dou Yang, it is reasonable to send him, the world champion, to compete.

Previously, the Xiaguo team had sent five main players to participate in the competition.

This year's Asia-Europe competition will be held on May 5 and 12.

If Li Ying is not participating in a competition, he is almost always training.
