Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 101: Montma provides off-court coaching and prepares for the All-Star Challenge
At this moment, Wang Xiqing said with a smile: "This kind of online voting and telephone voting method is particularly disadvantageous to Meng Li and Ma Qing."

"Because the fans of Liang Long and Xu Guinian are all from the younger generation. But on the contrary, the fans who like Meng Li and Ma Qing are almost all middle-aged."

"So, originally it should have been Meng Li and Ma Qing who swept Liang Long and Xu Guinian, but now they are in a tug of war on the voting list, and the longer it goes on, the more disadvantageous it is for them!"

After hearing this, Li Ying thought it was very reasonable.

But Wang Xianlan argued: "Then why did Brother Qian get so many votes?"

After hearing this, Wang Xiqing shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"My dear, Chen Daqian got such a high number of votes. Do you think it was Chen Daqian's own fans who voted for him? Isn't it because Chen Daqian is A Ying's head coach that A Ying's fans sent him up?"

"I guess all of A Ying's fans would like to see Chen Daqian and Li Ying fight side by side one day. However, that is impossible in a formal ITTF competition."

"But in a competition like the Volkswagen Xiaguo vs World Challenge, which is similar to the Table Tennis All-Star Challenge, Chen Daqian will have the chance to play with Li Ying."

After hearing these words, Wang Xianlan finally woke up from her dream.

Li Ying did not expose it, but at this moment, Li Ying guessed that Wang Xiqing must be hiding in his fan group.

Pay attention to every move of the fan group, otherwise, how would Wang Xiqing know what is going on in the fan group.

But at this time, Li Ying was only concerned with eating and drinking, which was also a privilege he had fought for himself as the leader of the national table tennis team.

Otherwise, look at any other athlete, they would eat and drink as much as Li Ying does every day.

At night.

Voting closes.

finally.

The Xiaguo League team’s playing roster has just been released.

Lee wins!

Kong Fengge!
Chen Daqian!
Diplodocus!

Xu Guinian!
Chen Daqian, together with Lin, Long, Feng, Gui, Mengli and Ma Qing, were not able to get a place.

because.

The Xiaguo team and the World Table Tennis Stars team both have five players each.

and.

It's a one-on-one confrontation!
In other words.

Every table tennis superstar can only play in one game.

This competition system ensures fairness and justice as much as possible.

In this case, the world table tennis star team may be able to overthrow the Xia country star team.

6 month 8 number.

Ten table tennis stars from Xia Country and even the world gathered at the Luwan Gymnasium in Shanghai.

As for tickets, they have already gone on sale.

The table tennis superstars who take part in the competition will be able to get a share of the ticket sales, plus appearance fees. At the very least, every table tennis superstar will be able to earn millions.

if not.

If the prize money was only tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, neither the superstars of the Xia national table tennis team nor the superstars of the global table tennis world would even look at it.

After arriving at the gym.

Li Ying suddenly saw Meng Li and Ma Qing standing and chatting with Chen Daqian, but there was no sign of disappointment on their faces.

Then, the dragon, phoenix and turtle were together.

Further away is the world table tennis star team, including Thiem, Dimitri, Truus, Tomoaki Furukawa and Felix.

But in this moment.

The moment Li Ying stepped into the gymnasium, both the Xia country's table tennis superstars and the overseas superstars all looked at Li Ying!
This is the strength and status of the number one player in table tennis today.

This is who he is today as the ITTF world number one.

Li Ying arrived at the gymnasium. At that moment, many table tennis superstars surrounded him, like the moon surrounded by stars.

"Mengge, Mage, are you here to provide off-site guidance?"

Li Ying didn't react at first, but when he saw the clothes Meng Li and Ma Qing were wearing, Li Ying suddenly came to his senses.

"Hehe, off-court coaching is not bad either. Anyway, if we lose the game, you will be the ones to be scolded. There is no way you can scold the off-court coach." Mengli laughed.

“That’s hard to say. If we lose, I’ll probably even scold the off-court coach.” Li Ying said with a smile.

"Don't be such a pessimist." Ma Qing said with a smile, "I feel like you are cursing your coach, right, Brother Qian?"

In terms of age, Chen Daqian is two years older than Ma Qing.

In the past when he was in the national team, Ma Qing had never been so polite.

But now.

Ma Qing naturally called out Brother Qian!

All this is because of Chen Daqian’s status.

It's not because of his status as a national team coach, but because he is Li Ying's head coach.

if not.

If Chen Daqian is really angered, and Chen Daqian really gives Li Ying advice to deal with him behind his back, Ma Qing will feel a great headache.

Because Chen Daqian was his victim in the national team.

If it weren't for Chen Daqian, Ma Qing would have won the men's singles championship at the World Table Tennis Championships long ago.

But it was because of Chen Daqian that he defeated him twice in the men's singles finals.

and so.

Ma Qing had to be polite to Chen Daqian.

"I don't care. Anyway, I am a coach now. I am a retired player, not a professional. If I lose the game, my fans can forgive me. But if some people lose the game, the situation may be different."

Chen Daqian smiled and said, "Don't you think so, An Nian?"

Chen Daqian directly called out Xu Guinian's name.

"Brother Qian, we are on the same team, why do you have to target me like this?" Xu Guinian wanted to cry but had no tears.

no way.

Today, Chen Daqian is still the coach of the Magic City team.

Moreover, he is the big brother of the national team. What's more important is that Chen Daqian is Li Ying's coach. This is the most terrifying thing.

Xu Guinian didn't want to offend Chen Daqian, and was kept under Chen Daqian's watch from then on.

Although Chen Daqian is not that kind of person.

Chen Daqian is a gentleman, but if he is angered, the national team will be shocked when Chen Daqian gets angry.

"Okay, now I'll announce the start of training. Ma Qing and I will focus on training Chen Daqian. Then, Li Ying, Kong Fengge, Liang Long, and Xu Guinian, the four of you can play by yourselves."

For Mengli, if he doesn't use his rights, they will expire.

then.

The next training began.

Meng Li and Ma Qing trained Chen Daqian together.

the other side.

The world table tennis star team is also training hard.

Because they found that this was the best way to defeat Li Ying.

In this kind of team competition system, each superstar only plays in one game. In this case, even if Li Ying wins that game, if he wins three of the other four games, it means that the Xia Country Star Team loses the game.

The current question is who will fight against Li Ying?
When Tim asked this question, Dimitri, Tomoaki Furukawa, Felix and Truus all fell silent.

It is clear.

If anyone goes to fight Li Ying, it would be like using an inferior horse to fight a superior horse. In this case, it is an exchange tactic.

The biggest problem is to admit that you are weaker than others.

In other words, see if there is team spirit of dedication.

Dimitri, Tomoaki Furukawa, Felix, and Truus look at each other.

finally.

Felix stepped forward. "Leave Li Ying to me!"

Felix was extremely tragic.

no way.

Currently in terms of world ranking, he is indeed the lowest among the five All-Stars.

and.

Compared with the other four stars, he is indeed the weakest.

and so.

Felix is ​​willing to take on the tough task of Li Ying.

At this moment, Dimitri suddenly said: "As long as I am not allowed to fight Liang Long, no matter who it is, even if I fight Kong Fengge, I am sure of victory!"

After Dimitri finished speaking, he also laughed bitterly at himself.

no way.

Diplodocus is really his natural enemy.

In Xiaguo's national team, Liang Long is not strong now.

Mengli is the natural enemy of Diplodocus, but Diplodocus cannot compete with his contemporary Kong Fengge.

As for Li Ying, that is purely a bug and will not be included in the discussion.

but.

Every time Liang Long hit him, it was always easy.

Dimitri had to admit it, so he now took the initiative to avoid the Diplodocus.

Tim said solemnly, "You will definitely avoid Liang Long, but the key question is, who will deal with Chen Daqian? Moreover, our main victory is likely to be against Chen Daqian, Liang Long, and Xu Guinian."
-
Li Ying watched Chen Daqian being trained very hard by Meng Li and Ma Qing for the whole morning.

But Li Ying said nothing.

Because Chen Daqian did all this willingly.

Otherwise, if Chen Daqian was unwilling, not to mention Meng Li and Ma Qing, even the national table tennis head coach Cai Zhenxia and the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang could not force him.

During lunch.

Li Ying joked, "Brother Qian, why do you have to work so hard? You can't win anyway, so why bother?"

After all, Chen Daqian has retired for a long time, and his opponents this time are the top five table tennis superstars from the foreign association.

and.

Li Ying could also guess that among these five table tennis superstars, Felix should be his opponent.

As for the other four, whether it is the Gemini, Tomoaki Furukawa, or Truus, it will be very difficult for Chen Daqian to defeat them now.

It’s not that Chen Daqian’s skills are backward, but that he is old and the physical fitness gap is very large.

Chen Daqian smiled and said, "Even if we lose, we can't lose too badly. If we are swept 4-0, how will our Xia national team maintain its dignity? Moreover, if the worst case scenario is that we get a zero, we will be ashamed to face the people of Jiangdong."

As soon as these words came out, a cold light flashed in Li Ying's eyes.

"Whoever dares to beat you to zero, I swear, if I meet him in my life, I will make him understand what 11 to 0 means!"

Li Ying only hopes that these external table tennis superstars will not be so crazy, otherwise, Li Ying will definitely get furious.

During afternoon training.

Ma Qing said bluntly: "To be honest, among the five of you, only Li Ying and Kong Fengge are absolutely sure to win. However, the other three are our weaknesses. Therefore, we will have special training in the afternoon."

"First, we need to guess our respective opponents. This is very important because it means that we can do targeted training!"

Meng Li added: "Aying's opponent is definitely Felix, there is no doubt about that. Because at present, Felix is ​​obviously at a disadvantage compared to the other four!"

Ma Qing continued, "Dimitri would definitely not choose Liang Long as his opponent. In that case, their deployment is actually very easy to guess."

Li Ying smiled and said, "It's not that easy to guess. The most important thing is, who among Tim, Dimitri, Furukawa Tomoaki, and Truss will play against Kong Fengge!"

After Li Ying finished speaking, the whole place suddenly fell into deep thought.

Chen Daqian smiled and said, "In fact, we don't need to make normal guesses. We can guess backwards. I think that among the table tennis superstars of the overseas regiment, Furukawa Tomoaki should be sent to compete with Xu Guinian. I wonder if you think the possibility is high!"

After these words were spoken, all the superstars of the national table tennis team nodded.

"Brother Qian, you are worthy of being the national team coach, you are very professional!" Xu Guinian said flatteringly.

"It has been confirmed that Li Ying will face Felix, and Xu Guinian will face Furukawa Tomoaki. I will most likely face Dimitri, because Dimitri will definitely choose to avoid Liang Long. To be honest, there is no need to guess the next two matches."

Chen Daqian smiled.

After hearing this, Ma Qing suddenly had an idea.

"In that case, Kong Fengge's opponent is most likely Truss, and Liang Long's opponent is Tim. They will subconsciously choose to bully the weak."

Ma Qing laughed.

Li Ying also nodded.

If nothing unexpected happens, the overseas team of table tennis superstars should choose such a formation.

"Okay, the next training in the afternoon will be special training. Aying, you will imitate Tomoaki Furukawa and Thiem respectively. Liang Long and Xu Guinian, do you have any objections?" Meng Li said in a deep voice.

Seeing this, Chen Daqian smiled speechlessly and said, "It seems that both of you think I will lose!"

It is clear.

Meng Li and Ma Qing both decided to give up on him.

Believe that it will fail.

In this case.

Li Ying is sure to win one game, and Chen Daqian is sure to lose one game. It is said to be a best-of-five system, but in fact, it is a best-of-three system.

In other words.

"If Kong Fengge has a high probability of defeating his opponent in the remaining three games, then Liang Long and Xu Guinian, you must win the next game. Otherwise, if you lose the game in the Magic City, on the land of our Xia country, then the reputation of your Linlongfenggui will be completely ruined!" Ma Qing said lightly.

As soon as these words came out.

Liang Long and Xu Guinian suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

because.

Nowadays they are not fighting on behalf of individuals.

Not fighting for myself in the Xiaguo Open.

nowadays.

It was a fight for the Xia Kingdom.

Fighting for the country and losing the game on your own soil, that feeling and taste is terrifying to think about.

Training in the afternoon.

Li Ying tried his best to imitate Tomoaki Furukawa and Thiem, hoping to give Liang Long and Xu Guinian more hope of defeating their opponents.

Li Ying didn't know what the final outcome would be, but now, he could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.

In the blink of an eye.

It's night time!

The Volkswagen Summer Country vs World Challenge will be held in the evening.

and.

The Volkswagen Xiaguo vs World Challenge was unusual and did not let Li Ying be the finale.

First day of competition.

Arrange Li Ying and Chen Daqian to appear!

Then, in tomorrow night’s game, the Dragon, Phoenix and Turtle will appear.

no way.

Since you have taken the money, you can only follow the arrangements of the organizer.

and.

The arrangement made by the organizer is also very interesting.

Because the suspense of the game will be left to the next day to decide the outcome.
