Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 201: Defending the men's team champion of the Table Tennis Super League, Li Ying practices through competition
just.

The only difference is.

In the men's team semi-finals, Bayi will play against Jueshi.

The other semi-final will be a showdown between Liang Long and Kong Fengge.

nowadays.

Their competition is becoming increasingly fierce.

because.

None of them wants to be a spectator at the Rio Olympics.

With the current rule changes, only two people from a country can participate in the Olympic singles, and Li Ying has almost secured a spot.

Then they have to compete.

and so.

To be honest, their confrontation attracted more attention than last year's men's group finals!

of course.

If Bayi does something extraordinary, it will also be a very hot topic.

Because we met in the finals last year, and this year, we met in the semi-finals.

It remains to be seen whether the ultimate revenge will be successful or Bayi will continue to dominate the world.

Bayi team.

First head to Xiangjiang.

The first game was played at the home court of the Jueshao team.

The game hasn't started yet.

but.

When the media interviewed the Peerless Club, Zhao Dongyuan, Qian Zhongtian and Sun Guanqing all expressed the same opinion.

That is Kong Fengge can defeat Li Ying.

Then they can do the same.

after all.

This year's Table Tennis Super League reform will be more helpful in using the weak to defeat the strong.

but!

When the game.

New World Cup champion Sun Guanqing versus new Grand Slam winner Li Ying!
Sun Guanqing was beaten so badly by Li Ying that he was completely at a loss.

because.

Li Ying demonstrated a tactical system that restrained Sun Guanqing's playing style.

Various table tennis skills are all aimed at Sun Guanqing's weaknesses.

Sun Guanqing was completely powerless to resist Li Ying.

then.

Directly shut out by Li Ying.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Dongyuan and Qian Zhongtian looked at each other.

That's the case.

Then vent this anger on Mengli and Zhou Yu.

In the second set, coach Wang Tao sent out Mengli to play singles.

Although Li Ying privately suggested that Zhou Yu should go up at the beginning.

But no matter what.

Mengli is a veteran and meritorious player of the Bayi team.

finally.

Wang Tao decided to give Mengli a chance!
then.

There's no after that.

Mengli played against Zhao Dongyuan and was also beaten by Zhao Dongyuan.

In this case.

The score between the two sides became 1 to 1!

The third set!
Doubles match.

Meng Li/Zhou Yu versus Zhao Dongyuan/Qian Zhongtian.

Zhao Dongyuan and Qian Zhongtian were full of confidence and believed that they would definitely win the doubles match.

In this case.

So what if the Bayi team still has Li Ying.

This home victory is unique.

but.

Competitions are often so mysterious.

Just when they thought they were sure to win the game, an accident happened.

The doubles cooperation between Mengli and Zhou Yu is very tenacious.

Zhao Dongyuan and Qian Zhongtian wanted to win quickly, so they were a little impatient.

then.

Mengli and Zhou Yu grasped their psychology and finally defeated them 3 to 2.

Saw this scene.

The peerless team suddenly felt that the situation was hopeless.

because.

Whether Li Ying played in the fourth or fifth set, it meant that the Bayi team had already won.

although.

Kong Fengge defeated Li Ying in the Table Tennis Super League.

This means that Li Ying is not absolutely invincible under the current competition system of the Table Tennis Super League.

but.

When this moment arrived, they still recalled Li Ying's undefeated reputation and glorious achievements in their minds.

That is purely a matter of stepping on the national table tennis team members and even the top stars of the international table tennis world to get to the top.

Li Ying is more than just a new Grand Slam winner.

But it's a Grand Slam or even a Super Grand Slam!

Li Ying has won the championship of any major competition.

perhaps.

There will be some haters who say that Li Ying is not a Super Grand Slam winner because Li Ying did not participate in some open tournaments.

But this view has never been mainstream.

Fourth set.

Li Ying appears again.

The opponent's words.

It’s still Sun Guanqing from the peerless club.

Sun Guanqing wants to fight back and defeat Li Ying!

only.

It's all just imagination.

because.

Li Ying simply didn't give Sun Guanqing any chance.

finally.

The Bayi team defeated Jueshao 3-1 and took away the victory at Jueshao's home court.

The next two games will be played at the Bayi team's home court.

It can be said.

The peerless club has fallen into crisis.

The club in the same situation as Juesi is Luneng.

Although Luneng has Kong Fengge and Fang Bo, in addition, it also has eight external players.

but.

But in the end they lost 2-3 to the club led by Liang Long.

In this case.

It seems difficult for Luneng to advance.

According to the first round of the competition, the men's team final will most likely be a battle between Li Ying and Liang Long!
although.

This kind of war is not particularly common.

but.

In the Table Tennis Super League, we still meet each other frequently.

Bayi returns to its home court.

Although the peerless club is about to make a comeback!

but.

As Zhou Yu defeated Qian Zhongtian, the Jue Shi Club instantly realized that the game was over.

Because now the Bayi team has taken a big lead of 2-0.

finally.

The peerless club was swept 3-0!

Because the mentality of the two doubles players exploded.

and so.

The Bayi team swept the world.

In this case.

Waiting for the big fight between Liang Long and Kong Fengge to end.

finally.

Luneng also lost the game with a score of 2 to 3.

Before the fifth set.

The two sides ended in a draw.

The fifth set was a singles duel between Liang Long and Kong Fengge.

Whoever wins will advance to the finals.

finally.

Liang Long still had the last laugh.

In this case.

The opponent of the Bayi team is the club led by Liang Long.

The Bayi team came to Ningbo.

This is the home court of Ningbo Haitian.

Playing against Bayi, Liang Long felt very bitter.

Because neither Li Ying nor Meng Li are easy to deal with. As for Zhou Yu, he just made it to the men's singles semi-finals in the national championship.

On the contrary, Liang Long did not even make it to the semi-finals.

But the game still has to be played.

In the first set, Li Ying defeated Yan An.

In the second set, Mengli played and easily defeated Liang Long again.

Although Bayi lost the third set of doubles.

But in the fourth set, Li Ying came back and defeated Liang Long.

In this case.

In the first round, the Bayi team defeated Ningbo Haitian 3-1!

at this time.

The whole internet is talking about it.

"Although Liang Long is not afraid of Kong Fengge, he has two nemesis in the Bayi team!"

"Anyway, if we encounter a Diplodocus, Meng Li will definitely take action!"

"Liang Long, let's see if you can overcome your weakness in the second round. Otherwise, you will be defeated by Bayi!"

Second round of the finals.

Liang Long did not defy fate!

Although I didn't encounter Monri.

but.

The Bayi team swept their opponents 3-0.

In this case.

Under the leadership of Li Ying, the Bayi team defended the men's team championship of the Table Tennis Super League!

All the Bayi team needs to achieve its dynasty is a men's team championship in the Table Tennis Super League!

but.

For the Xiaguo national table tennis team members.

The victory or defeat of the Table Tennis Super League is no longer important!
because.

Closed training camp is here.

This time, the men's table tennis team's closed training camp is to conduct a direct qualifying match to Paris.

Both the men's and women's teams will go straight to Paris.

only.

Compared with the men's team.

The rules for the women's team are exceptionally simple!
22 players will compete in a round-robin tournament, and the top two will directly qualify for the women's singles spots at the Paris World Table Tennis Championships.

In the national table tennis team, which is full of talented people and new players are constantly emerging, the internal selection is no less fierce than the competition in the World Table Tennis Championships.

The national team has also been constantly innovating in the selection and promotion of the qualification, so that fans can directly understand the exciting games and the fierce competition. Following the launch of the live broadcast of the selection, the national team introduced online voting for the first time this year, and will set up voting pages on four portal websites such as Weibo, and fans will select three players to participate in the final of the "Direct to Paris" selection!

The direct qualifying for Paris is divided into three stages.

The first stage will consist of 3 rounds of a 17-day round-robin tournament.

The Paris World Table Tennis Championships will be held from May 5 to 13.

Before the trials, the pace on the Internet had already picked up.

And these rhythms are aimed at Li Ying.

Because of the direct qualification for the Rotterdam World Table Tennis Championships, Li Ying was recommended by the coaching staff and obtained the singles qualification in advance.

But this time.

The rhythm is great.

Because fans of Liang Long, Kong Fengge, Xu Guinian and other members of the national table tennis team are all leading the trend.

Everyone thinks that Li Ying, as a new Grand Slam winner, should also participate in the direct qualifying tournament for Paris.

In the end, the Chinese national table tennis team had to face up to this problem.

then.

Ask Li Ying for his opinion through Chen Daqian.

If Li Ying insists on being admitted, the coaching staff cannot refuse.

but.

Li Ying knows the nature of the Chinese national table tennis team.

not to mention.

It has indeed been a long time since I participated in the internal cycle of the national table tennis team.

That's the case.

Li Ying expressed his position directly on Weibo.

"Haha, as a Grand Slam winner, Li Ying could have gotten a place in the registration list without having to compete, but he thinks that relying on a place given by others is not a reliable way to get it, and that only those who have fought for it themselves can have the most confidence."

"I look forward to the national table tennis team's internal cycle to see who can come out on top in the cycle!"

The first stage of the selection is divided into three groups for PK, and three direct places are awarded. According to the world ranking, Li Ying, Liang Long and Kong Fengge each occupy a group.

In the first round of drawing lots, the group chosen by the one with the highest ranking was Xu Guinian. First, he chose Kong Fengge's group, then Ma Qing chose Liang Long's group, and finally Meng Li, who was left, could only be in the same group with Li Ying.

In the second round of drawing lots, the younger ones were chosen first. Yan An chose Liang Long without hesitation, and Su Yan finally chose Kong Fengge.

Anyway.

There are three groups in the PK, and it is difficult to beat any group.

After finishing the first round of the team round-robin tournament, Li Ying seemed to have realized something.

Because it is during the closed training period.

Li Ying was shocked to discover.

All along, as long as he trained, he could gain experience.

In other words.

God rewards hard work.

But now.

Li Ying suddenly discovered that the experience he could gain through training was very little.

If you want to gain experience, you must participate in competitions.

The previous kind of silent hard training is no longer suitable for Li Ying!

Because after training hard for a week, the experience gained is not as good as playing in a formal open game.

Even an open tournament would do.

Li Ying knew it immediately.

It is difficult to gain experience through hard training alone, so you must participate in competitions.

then.

Li Ying signed up for the Austrian Open.

The 2013 ITTF Austrian Open came to an end in Wels on January 1.

At the beginning of the new year, the men's table tennis team of Xia Guo encountered strong challenges. Kong Fengge, the men's team champion of the London Olympics, was unexpectedly defeated by the young player of Ryuying, and Zhou Yu, the men's singles runner-up of the 2012 National Championships, was eliminated by Sun Guanqing, a player from Treasure Island of Xia Guo.

However, young player Fang Bo performed well and won the men's singles runner-up in this competition, and Li Ying won the men's singles championship.

This Austrian Open is Li Ying's first appearance in an international competition in half a year, so his performance has attracted much attention from domestic and foreign media.

Another person who also received attention was Kong Fengge.

The players from Ryuo caused a lot of trouble for Kong Fengge in this competition. First, in the 1/8 finals, Zhang Jike fought with the Japanese star Matsudaira Yosuke for 7 games before he managed to win 4-3.

随后在1/4决赛中张继科又被流樱小将爆冷，他在3比1领先的情况下被对手连扳3局，最终以3比4告负。

In the final, Fang Bo lost to Li Ying 2-4.

But in the men's doubles final, Kong Fengge and Dou Yang teamed up to defeat the Xia Guobaodao combination 3-2.

Ji Chuanxia and Qiao Yuning teamed up to defeat their teammates Chen Meng/Zhu Yuling 3-0 in the women's doubles final.

Ji Chuanxia and Qiao Yuning also reached the women's singles final together, but in the first two games of the final, when Qiao Yuning was leading by a large score of 2-0, Ji Chuanxia withdrew from the game due to a sprained wrist, so Qiao Yuning won the women's singles championship.

In the end, the Xia team successfully won all four gold medals in this event.

After the conclusion of this open tournament, the international media were discussing it hotly.

"What changes have taken place within the Xiaguo National Table Tennis Team? Why does Li Ying, the captain of the Xiaguo National Table Tennis Men's Team, need to come out to play in the open tournament?"

"Xiaguo National Table Tennis Team directly sent Li Ying and Kong Fengge to lead the team. Does this mean that Xiaguo National Table Tennis Team will have to make efforts in many open tournaments in the future?"

"You have to know that the Xiaguo National Table Tennis Team strategically gave up many open tournaments before!"

"The international table tennis world, especially the men's table tennis world, is really changing rapidly nowadays."

After winning the championship.

The Chinese national table tennis team set off for home from Austria.

on the plane.

Kong Fengge sat with Li Ying.

"Feng Ge, can you change your bad habit of making surprises?"

Li Ying smiled bitterly helplessly.

Kong Fengge was upset, and although they avoided meeting in the finals, Li Ying knew that this would have a very bad impact on Kong Fengge.

In this case.

This will only make the national table tennis coaching staff pay more attention to Liang Long.

And in the national team.

The relationship between the unicorn, dragon, phoenix and turtle is very deep.

Although they are almost all opponents in singles matches, once Xia Guo needs them, they all need to fight for the country.

if that's the case.

We must work together.

Kong Fengge smiled helplessly, "What can I do? I'm leading 3 to 1!"

Kong Fengge also felt desperate.

But then he asked, "Don't you usually dislike participating in open tournaments? Why do you really want to participate in an open tournament now? Do you really want to win all the open tournaments?"

Kong Fengge is aware of all the rumors about Li Ying on the Internet.

because.

Kong Fengge often eats melons online.

"Nothing, there are too many boring trainings, so I might as well just practice with competitions from now on."

Li Ying smiled.

"Training through competition? That's quite typical of you!"

Kong Fengge naturally had no doubt about Li Ying.

After returning home.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon.

Li Ying went straight home to prepare for the New Year.

after all.

After the Chinese New Year, the journey of 2013 will begin.

And now.

Boring training doesn’t earn him any experience points, so in order to maintain his condition and gain experience points, Li Ying has no choice but to participate in competitions.
