Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 212: Li Ying is excited, Wang Xianlan defends the Women's World Cup title

In the final game, with the score at 10-4, Li Ying could no longer contain his excitement and waved his arms to encourage the audience to cheer for him.

Only Li Ying knows how great his opponent Liang Long is.

It can be said that if there is no table tennis player system, there will be no chance of defeating Liang Long, let alone challenging Liang Long.

After winning the championship, Li Ying raised his arms and shouted loudly, then ran outside the backboard and hugged Lingnan team head coach Meng Enming affectionately.

Afterwards, Li Ying, who had changed into his award-winning uniform, walked to the sidelines and threw the two jerseys he had worn during the game into the audience.

"Thank you all for cheering me on. You have been supporting me for so many days. No matter who I play against, you always cheer for me!"

During the pre-match warm-up, in addition to head coach Meng Enming, there were two other coaches and two team doctors accompanying Li Ying in training.

Li Ying feels that this is a kind of motivation for him. Before the game, the coach will be more or less nervous, and the Lingnan team has a stronger sense of teamwork.

At this time, reporters began to interview Li Ying.

Li Ying smiled and said: "During training, even if they help me pick up a ball or pass me water, they feel that they can do something for me. Today is also Teacher's Day, and I also thank all the coaches!"

By winning four gold medals again, Li Ying reaped great rewards in this National Games.

After the CCTV reporter interviewed Li Ying, he immediately went to interview the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang.

"Coach Dong, the table tennis competitions of the 12th National Games have all ended. You must have watched the entire game. Do you think there is anything worth summarizing about this National Games?"

CCTV reporter Li Jun asked.

Dong Yaobang, head coach of the Xiaguo table tennis team, said with a smile: "Chen Daqian, Ma Qing and Meng Li were very touching. Xu Guinian's performance was not satisfactory. I am full of imagination for 2016."

Dong Yaobang continued to comment and laughed: "Chen Daqian competed in the National Games at the age of 35. Daqian is a kind of touching and positive energy. A person can achieve this in one stage. Daqian did it silently from beginning to end, which made everyone appreciate him, and appreciate his personality and sense of responsibility."

"Including Mengli, he plays an obvious role as the spiritual pillar of the Bayi team. They have different spirits. Chen Daqian is the most enterprising, and Mengli is the most open-minded. This is the hope our team brings to everyone. I hope the young team can inherit this kind of thing."

"The two young players of the Bayi team are the highlights of the young players. Their performance on the court is eye-catching. In the team competition, the young players made great breakthroughs. They can reach the goal with their hands, which makes them more relaxed."

In contrast, Dong Yaobang was not very satisfied with Xu Guinian's performance.

"Xu Guinian's performance was not satisfactory, which sounded a very big alarm. Whether in terms of technology, psychology or quality, Xu Guinian played the most abnormal performance in the men's team. As a player in his prime, his performance was very inappropriate. Zhou Yu, Fang Bo and Yan An are still on the rise, which will have a greater impact on Xu Guinian."

"Through this National Games, I have full imagination for 2016 and it brings more hope to everyone. Who will stand out, although it is not as clear as before, this is where the team's progress lies. This is a good thing. Zhou Yu and Fang Bo have worked very hard and deserve such an opportunity. Only when the people below stand out can the people in front have a sense of urgency and move forward."

The hotel is not far from the National Games Stadium.

The clouds disappear and the rain stops.

Li Ying enters sage time.

"In this National Games, veterans such as Qian Ge, Meng Ge and Ma Ge left us with so many touching moments!"

Li Ying sighed.

Wang Xianlan said with a smile: "The renewal of your men's table tennis team has already begun. They were no longer the protagonists in the London Olympic cycle, not to mention the current Rio Olympic cycle!" Li Ying said with a smile: "At the 12th National Games, with the strong rise of a group of young players such as Zhou Yu and Fang Bo, the middle-aged players of the men's table tennis team have felt unprecedented pressure."

After saying this, Wang Xianlan glanced at Li Ying.

"Another group of young players? Aren't you the same age as Fang Bo, Zhou Yu and the others? The four young masters of 92 are all 21 years old now, and they have all the necessary strengths." Wang Xianlan said with a smile.

Li Ying said with emotion: "The impact of the younger generation has further intensified the competition and the speed of renewal within the men's table tennis team. The head coach said that after the National Games, the men's table tennis team of Xia Guo will undergo a major change, and the veterans over 30 years old will collectively bid farewell to the center of the stage. This means that the protagonists of the Rio Olympics will come from the middle-aged and new generation players."

Wang Xianlan also thought of the women's table tennis team. "For our women's table tennis team, the original balance of power among the main players has been completely broken."

"Sister Xia showed a different aura both on and off the court in this National Games. She was extremely strong in terms of technique, psychology and willpower on the court, but she was more calm and composed when dealing with people off the court."

"Chen Meng's sudden rise has also shaken up the original structure of our women's table tennis team."

Hearing this, Li Ying smiled and said, "Nowadays, you women's table tennis team should be the four-horse team. The three of you, plus the new generation Chen Meng."

"Isn't this exactly the same as your men's team? Unicorn, dragon, phoenix, and turtle!" Wang Xianlan replied with a smile.

On the Internet, the National Games is extremely popular.

Who will enter the core group of the Chinese men's table tennis team has been a hot topic among many table tennis fans during the 12th National Games.

With the fading out of several veterans such as Ma Qing and Meng Li, Li Ying's absolute core position has become super stable during the Rio Olympic cycle.

Then the next step is for Kong Fengge and Liang Long to compete for the second core position of the men's team.

Behind these two people, Xu Guinian originally had the greatest hope of becoming the fourth core, but in the National Games Xu Guinian's overall performance was mediocre, while the 92 three young players instead created upsets and rose strongly.

This puts other post-92s players who are slightly older than the three young masters of 90 at risk of falling into the middle class.

To be precise, the target of the attack was Xu Guinian.

After the National Games, Li Ying paid more attention to the Table Tennis Super League.

But Wang Xianlan is different.

Preparing for the Women's Table Tennis World Cup.

This year's Women's Table Tennis World Cup will be held at Ryuo Kobe from the 21st to the 23rd, with a total of 20 players participating.

According to the world ranking, the top eight players will directly enter the second stage, and the other 12 players will play a single round-robin match in groups of three, and the first in each group will advance. After another draw, the second stage of the group single round-robin match will be held to determine the top eight. After the quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals, the champion will be determined.

In this way, Wang Xianlan's position as the leader of the women's table tennis team becomes more stable.

The National Day holiday had just ended. On October 10, Li Ying, Liang Long, Wang Xianlan, Qiao Yuning and other four star players of the national table tennis team went straight to a film and television base outside the fifth ring road east of the imperial capital for a collective "electric shock".

The theme of this shoot is "The Same Positive Energy" centered around table tennis and Dubai. Dubai, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, officially became the sponsor of the Xiaguo table tennis team at the beginning of this year. The promotional video that several players participated in this time is to promote table tennis and the city of Dubai to people all over the world, and to build momentum for the Table Tennis World Cup team competition to be held in Dubai next year.
