Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 12: First Open Championship, Twisting and Pulling Skills Maximized
Back to the hotel.

Wu Weijin sent the videos of Li Ying's two games today to Dong Yaobang in the capital via email.

Then, Wang Xianlan from the women's team also finished her game. Wang Xianlan and her coach invited coach Wu Weijin and Li Ying to have dinner together.

Now that I am abroad, I naturally feel more at home when I meet fellow countrymen, not to mention that we are in the same department.

At the hotel gate, the staff of Channel C drove to pick up Li Ying and his party.

……

National table tennis training base.

Dong Yaobang called other coaches from the coaching staff to download the video and then started playing it.

Dong Yaobang already knew the result of the morning competition.

Dong Yaobang directly clicked on the video recording of the afternoon's match between Li Ying and Ishii Yasuki.

After watching the first disc, Dong Yaobang was stunned.

After watching four games, all the coaches of the national table tennis team had dazed expressions on their faces.

"When did Li Ying become so powerful?"

The reason why Dong Yaobang was stunned was that Li Ying's all-out effort was simply too scary.

"With such strength and technical and tactical level, I think even if Meng Li meets Li Ying, it will be very difficult!"

Qin Yucheng said in surprise.

"Well, it may be because of other reasons. You see, even when fighting Park Kwang-ho, he was not so explosive!" Liao Huazhong said with a smile.

"Li Ying really brought us a surprise. If he can defeat Felix and Truth next, and finally meet Thiem in the final and win the championship of this open tournament, then Li Ying will be amazing!" Dong Yaobang felt like a huge piece of good news had hit him on the head.

Although the Xiaguo national table tennis team is currently focusing on cultivating dragons, phoenixes and turtles, it does not mean that dragons, phoenixes and turtles will definitely be the core players of the next generation of the national table tennis team.

Dong Yaobang implemented a system of promoting the most capable.

And now, it is very obvious that Li Ying has begun to seize power from Qianlima.

This momentum of impact is in no way weaker than that of the twenty-year-old Liang Long and Kong Fengge.

……

Li Ying never expected that he could eat authentic hot pot in this foreign country.

Li Ying is sitting next to the goddess of national table tennis, Wang Xianlan, who has the best appearance.

"Xianlan, congratulations on your successful entry into the top 16!" Li Ying raised the water glass in his hand. As an athlete, he should avoid drinking alcohol and drink as little beverages as possible. Li Ying followed the strict requirements of the coach and only drank water.

"You want me to congratulate you, right? I just heard from Uncle Zhang that you beat Ishii Yasuki 1-, and didn't let his opponent get even a single point!" Wang Xianlan didn't have the aloofness of a high-class beauty at all. She was just like a friendly older sister next door.

Hearing Wang Xianlan mention this, Zhang Yehua, a staff member of Channel C, said with a smile: "Aying, tomorrow we at Channel C will send a broadcast vehicle to the stadium to interview you and cheer you on."

However, Zhang Yehua couldn't guarantee whether the game video would be shown on Channel C after being sent to China.

"I will try my best!" Li Ying said calmly.

After returning to the hotel, Li Ying rested well.

But in fact, Li Ying was lying on the bed, and in his fantasy space, he had already started playing against other superstars ranked in the top ten in the world.

Know thyself, ever-victorious!
Li Ying knew that with his current strength, he did not yet have a generational lead over these top ten players in the world.

Theoretically, if these superstars perform at their best, they may be able to defeat Li Ying, who currently has a strength of only 95.6 points.

Because for someone like Tim, his peak strength score is above 96 points.

However, not everyone is Li Ying, and not everyone can perfectly perform at their peak.

The reason why superstars are superstars is that they have the potential to perform at their best.

No. 23, the top advanced to the quarterfinals.

Li Ying defeated the French team's star player Felix 4:0.

The top eight advanced to the semi-finals.

Li Ying also defeated Truss of the Swedish team 4:0!

When the time came to the 26th, Li Ying had already dominated the upper half and entered the men's singles final.

Today, I will have a big battle with Tim who has emerged from the lower half of the group!
Men's singles final, live broadcast on Channel C!
"Hello, everyone. This is the ITTF Pro Tour Serbia Open. Our Chinese table tennis player Li Ying has entered the finals. The men's singles final is about to begin. Our young player Li Ying's opponent is Thiem, who just fought seven games with Monri in the World Cup final!"

"Tim's strength is well known. But Li Ying is also a member of the first team of our Xiaguo national table tennis team, and he won the first place in the national table tennis internal round-robin tournament, and he also played well in the previous three rounds of the Table Tennis Super League."

"This is a men's singles showdown to see who will stand on the championship podium!"

"The person who gave off-court guidance to young player Li Ying was the famous national team coach Wu Weijin. Coach Wu Weijin kept reminding Li Ying that whether the 16-year-old talented young player Li Ying can win the open championship, let's wait and see!"

As the commentary sounded, this men's singles duel broadcast live by Channel C appeared on televisions in thousands of households across the country.

Li Ying started warming up with Tim.

The warm-up was over quickly and the competition officially began.

Tim's eyes were full of energy. He had never expected that he would meet the national table tennis player of Xia country in the men's singles final so soon.

His peak showdown with Monli lasted less than a month.

And now, the opponent is the 16-year-old young player Li Ying.

When Tim thought of this, he felt a little complicated.

He simply fought against several generations of national table tennis players of the Xia country with his own strength.

But now he is at his peak and he is not afraid of fighting Li Ying.

But in Li Ying's heart, he is not afraid of competing with Tim!

because.

In the fantasy space, tens of thousands of battles have been fought.

Although on the surface, they had not played a single game. Li Ying knew that today's men's singles match was broadcast live on Channel C, but Li Ying only had the game in his mind.

As soon as the game started, Tim entered his peak state.

They just lost in the World Cup final. Although the opponent this time is not the old rival Monli, it is also the Xia national team.

So, Tim decided to vent his anger and resentment on Li Ying.

But Li Ying also became more and more crazy as the game went on, and his technical and tactical levels improved dramatically.

then.

This duel can truly be described as a fight between dragons and tigers.

Thiem burst out at an unprecedented peak level, and Li Ying suppressed him strongly.

This game made the audience fascinated.

There are countless top ten wonderful goals.

The final score is frozen.

4: 2!

Li Ying defeated the World Cup runner-up Thiem with great force!
Avenged his teammate Liang Long.

In the World Cup, Liang Long lost to Thiem and was blocked from the finals.

But now, Li Ying has defeated Thiem and stepped onto the men's singles championship podium for the first time.

After Li Ying won, he just clenched his fists and celebrated a little.

Winning the championship and becoming the champion, even if it was just an open championship, Li Ying was still very excited.

At this moment, a message appeared on the career panel.

"Congratulations on becoming the champion of the Serbian Open. I will give you a reward to upgrade one of your table tennis skills to the maximum level."

The championship reward made Li Ying overjoyed.

Award ceremony!

Li Ying won the open championship, the flag of Xia was raised on the spot and the national anthem of Xia was played.

Li won a championship gold medal and trophy.

Then it’s the women’s singles!

Wang Xianlan also swept her opponent with a score of 4:2 and won the women's singles championship.

After the award ceremony.

The staff of Channel C asked Li Ying and others to take a group photo.

Li Ying and Wang Xianlan squatted in the front, with two coaches standing behind them.

Click!

This is Li Ying’s first open tournament championship!
But this was just the beginning of the legend.

"Aying, when is your flight?"

After returning to the hotel room to pack his luggage, Li Ying received a call from Wang Xianlan.

"I still have to go to France to participate in the open tournament, so I won't return to China for the time being!" Li Ying said with a smile.

"Okay then. I'll go back to China to prepare for the national championships. Come on, Aying, try to win the French Open as well!" Wang Xianlan wished Li Ying well.

"Then I wish you a safe journey!"

Li Ying followed his coach Wu Weijin to France.

At this time, Li Ying's reputation spread far and wide in the country of Xia.

Live broadcast of Channel C, in the men's singles match, he defeated Thiem who just won the World Cup runner-up!

He became famous at a young age and is extremely talented.

Li Ying has gained a lot of fans, and most of them are teenagers.

Of course, Li Ying was still far away abroad and didn’t know that he already had a large number of fans in the country.

At this moment, on the plane, Li Ying was thinking about a question, which skill should be upgraded to the maximum level.

With this thought in mind, Li Ying looked at the table tennis skills he had mastered.

[Skills: serve, smash, burst, twist, slice, short swing, long chop, back tear, pick, quick pull, side cut...]

Li Ying knows all the table tennis skills.

In the end, Li Ying thought about it and decided to use this skill on twisting and pulling.

All of a sudden.

The twisting and pulling skills are directly upgraded to the maximum level.

[The twisting and pulling skill is upgraded to the maximum level, and upgraded to 'Bawang Ning'. 】

Seeing the name of this skill, Li Ying looked up at the sky in silence.

at the same time.

Li Ying's strength score directly reached 96 points.

In this case, in terms of strength rating, Li Ying is completely on the same level as Meng Li and Ma Qing.

Because the best players like Ma Qing and Meng Li only scored 96 points.

But this was just the beginning for Li Ying.
