Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 11: Defeated the 04 Olympic men's singles champion and left Ryuukakuen without a single point

10 month 22 number.

The ITTF Pro Tour Serbia Open kicked off at the Belgrade Sports Arena.

64 table tennis stars from various national table tennis associations who registered for the competition gathered here.

This time, although the Xia national table tennis team only sent Li Ying and the women's team only sent Wang Xianlan, other national table tennis associations sent all their main players to compete.

Because in addition to men's singles and women's singles, the open tournament also has men's doubles and women's doubles.

When the game was about to start, coach Wu Weijing was giving instructions to Li Ying.

"Aying, in the next game, if you fall behind, don't panic. If you are ahead, don't be impatient. Just play to your strengths in the national table tennis internal round-robin tournament and the Table Tennis Super League. Even if your opponent is a superstar ranked in the top ten in the world, your skills are better than theirs!"

Wu Weijin is a senior coach with a very steady personality.

"Don't worry, coach. I know everything!"

When saying this, Li Ying couldn't help but look at Park Kwang-ho from Goryeo who was being interviewed by a reporter from Europa.

"Mr. Park, in this first men's singles match, your opponent is a young player from the Xia National Table Tennis Team. Are you confident in this match?"

Foreign journalists dare to ask questions like this.

Hearing this, Park Kwang-ho answered confidently: "Of course I have confidence. Even Meng Li from the Xiaguo National Table Tennis Team was defeated by me in the men's singles final of the 04 Olympics. The men's singles of the 08 Olympics just ended. If I hadn't been sick during those days, how could Xiaguo have won three medals!"

As the current star player of Goryeo and ranked in the top ten in the world, Park Kwang-ho did not take Lee Ying seriously at all.

"What's more, my opponent is just a rookie who just joined the Xia country's national table tennis team. This time, I will definitely make sure that he can't even enter the top 32. His journey in this Serbia Open will end in the top 64!"

"Thank you Mr. Park for accepting our interview. I hope you can get what you want!" After the interview, the foreign reporter left directly.

It is obvious that foreign reporters feel that there is no need to interview Li Ying at all.

After the opening ceremony, the men's singles competition officially began.

At this moment, many cameras are focused on the top ten superstars in the world.

Especially the German star Thiem, who just won the World Cup runner-up.

As for the match between Li Ying and Park Kwang-ho, because of Park Kwang-ho's outrageous remarks in the interview before the game, this match was broadcast live on TV stations in the European region.

However, Xiaguo Channel C did not send any staff to broadcast the game.

After all, this isn't one of those prestigious open tournaments.

Lee Ying VS Park Kwang-ho.

The game officially begins.

Wu Weijin, Li Ying's off-court coach, sat behind Li Ying.

Similarly, on the Korean side, Park Kwang-ho's head coach was also giving instructions off the court.

For Li Ying, time passed quickly and the first set was over.

Because in the first game, Li Ying directly stunned Park Kwang-ho.

11: 3.

Park Kwang-ho was completely suppressed by Li Ying.

There is no effective means of scoring.

Park Kwang-ho scored 3 points through fatal fighting shots, good luck, and a slight shot.

Li Ying sneered in his heart.

Last night, in the fantasy space, he and Park Kwang-ho fought at least a thousand times.

All of Park Kwang-ho's skills were exposed to Li Ying.

The second set started soon.

but.

Li Ying still maintains an extremely powerful and overwhelming advantage.

11: 2!

This is exactly the situation where a father beats his son.

Park Kwang-ho's mentality was almost broken by Li Ying.

Because he felt that even when facing Mengli and Ma Qing, the fight was not so painful.

But it was really easy for Li Ying to beat him.

At this time, his coach kept cheering him on from behind.

"Park Kwang-ho, come on! You are the men's singles champion of the 04 Olympics!"

Park Kwang-ho also tried to mobilize himself!

but.

Even if he was in his best condition, he was no match for Li Ying.

Because Li Ying knew all his shortcomings and flaws clearly.

The third set ended with a huge score difference of 11:4.

At this time, Park Kwang-ho had been beaten by Li Ying and was standing beside the cliff.

He really couldn't imagine what would happen when he returned to Goryeo if he was eliminated in the top 64 in the men's singles.

Park Kwang-ho wants to fight back in desperation!
but.

How could Li Ying give him this opportunity?

He won four sets in a row, defeating Park Kwang-ho 4:0.

Park Kwang-ho, who was so arrogant in the pre-match interview, was eliminated in the round of 64.

After winning the game, Li Ying was very calm.

There was no celebration.

Wu Weijin asked curiously, "Aying, why don't you look excited at all?"

Li Ying smiled faintly and said, "Coach, it would be too cheap to be excited and excited about defeating this kind of people!"

In other words, Park Kwang-ho couldn't hear it, otherwise his mentality would be even more devastated.

Wu Weijin: “???”

The 04 Olympic men's singles champion and current world top ten superstar, is this the kind of guy you see?
"Coach, I have to prepare for the next game!" Having said that, in fact, Li Ying left her own court and went to the women's singles court next door.

Just at this time, the match of Wang Xianlan, a female player of the national table tennis team, was entering a fierce moment.

Li Ying silently cheered for Wang Xianlan in his heart!

Currently the score between Wang Xianlan and the opponent is 1:1.

Moreover, we lost the first game.

At this moment, when Wang Xianlan was taking a break, she saw Li Ying coming to cheer her on.

Wang Xianlan nodded slightly, and Li Ying also nodded slightly.

For some reason, Wang Xianlan suddenly felt a surge of fighting spirit in her heart.

finally.

Wang Xianlan won three straight sets, defeating her opponent with a big score of 4:1 and advanced to the top 32.

Li Ying saw Wang Xianlan win the game and left quietly.

……

Going back a little bit in time, when Li Ying went to watch Wang Xianlan's game and cheer for her, Wu Weijin called Dong Yaobang, the head coach of the men's team in the capital of Xia State.

Because Dong Yaobang sent a message in the morning, asking Li Ying to tell him the score as soon as the game was over.

"How is it?" Dong Yaobang asked anxiously.

"Of course Li Ying won. And the score was 4:0." Wu Weijin told the truth.

"Ah? Sweeping Park Kwang-ho 4-0? Was every game very difficult?" Dong Yaobang guessed.

"That's not the case. Park Kwang-ho's highest score was 4 points. And most of them were lucky shots that hit the edge or the net. In a real showdown of hard power, Li Ying completely swept him!" Wu Weijing said happily.

"What was Li Ying's mentality during the game?" Dong Yaobang began to pay attention to the details.

"I tell you, it's indescribable. Li Ying's mentality is terrifyingly stable, even more stable than Ma Qing and Meng Li who went through the 08 Olympics. Even if he was ahead, even if it was 10:1, his mentality didn't change at all. I was sitting on the sidelines coaching, and I was completely lonely. I didn't even have a chance to call for a timeout."

Wu Weijin said with great amazement, and all his words were praising Li Ying.

"Li Ying still has a game today. Once he enters the top 16, please send me the video of his game with Yasuki Ishii via email!" Dong Yaobang said with a smile.

After a good rest, Li Ying faced the second game of the day.

In the round of 32 to 16, his opponent is Yasuki Ishii from Ryuo Country.

Yasuki Ishii is a superstar who has only emerged in the last one or two years.

Although he has made it into the top ten in the world rankings, the reason why his points are ranked in the top ten in the world rankings is almost all obtained by participating in open tournaments.

and so.

When it comes to hard power, he is not as good as Park Kwang-ho!
but.

Yasuki Ishii obviously doesn't see it that way.

"Before this, Li Ying from Xia Country defeated Park Kwang-ho. You must be careful of him. But there is a video of him playing in the Table Tennis Super League. His main technical characteristics are..." When he said this, the coach of Ryuying Country was a little stuck.

"He doesn't have any technical characteristics!" The Ryuukoku coach was unable to summarize Li Ying's technical characteristics, because Li Ying did not rely purely on some skilled techniques to score.

Li has many skills to win points.

"Coach, please rest assured. There is no way I can't beat a 16-year-old kid from Xia Country!" said Yasuki Ishii calmly.

In his mind, he thinks the opponents he needs to go all out against this time are Thiem from Germany, Truth from Sweden, and Felix from France.

If the Xia Guo national table tennis team includes Chen Daqian, Meng Li, Ma Qing and Liang Long, they may have to give their best.

But when the game officially started, Ishii Taiki was defeated by Li Ying 11:0 in the first set. Ishii Taiki looked at Li Ying as if he was looking at a monster.

It's not like he hasn't fought against 'Qianlima' before.

But even when playing against Monli, the top player of the current Xia national team, there was no such strong feeling of oppression.

Li Ying's expression was very calm.

If he met a table tennis star from other countries, Li Ying would not be so cruel.

but.

If the opponent is the Ryuukoku, then Li Ying will be extremely ruthless.

The second set was also 11:0.

Li Ying did not give Ishii Yasuki any chance at all, and Li Ying mobilized himself frantically.

Even when he met Liang Long in the Table Tennis Super League, Li Ying was not so excited.

Li Ying completely pushed his condition to the peak.

The third set was still 11:0.

Now, Yasuki Ishii no longer wants to win the game.

He just wants to get points!
Even if we only get 1 point, it's fine.

Otherwise, if all four players were given zero points, it is hard to imagine what kind of cyberbullying they would face when they return to Ryuuakuni.

but.

Li Ying just doesn't give this opportunity.

Even if it was a magical shot or a lucky shot, Li Ying tried his best!

then.

At the end of the fourth set, the score was still 11:0.

In the four games, Yasuki Ishii did not score a single point.

In an instant, this huge score difference made Li Ying the most popular player in this open tournament.

Then, naturally, the C channel staff in Serbia were alarmed.

"Aying, you are a little..." Wu Weijin said with a wry smile.

He didn't even know how to teach Li Ying a lesson.

But Wu Weijin felt that it was really cool in his heart.

Especially when I saw the dumbfounded expression of the coach from Ryuuku, I felt secretly happy in my heart.
