Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 14: Men's singles and men's doubles advance to the semifinals, Yasuki Ishii's challenge
Li Ying was the first to advance to the top four, and the other three groups' quarter-finals will be held immediately.

Thiem vs. Tomoaki Furukawa is also a focus match.

Li Yingzheng served as a sparring partner, accompanying Su Yan in warming up.

Because after Tim's match with Tomoaki Furukawa, Su Yan will face Felix.

This battle is the focus of the battle.

Because Felix is ​​fighting on home soil.

At least 80% of the spectators at the stadium today came for Felix.

After all, it is in mainland France.

At this time, Dong Yaobang and Wu Weijing were watching the match between Thiem and Tomoaki Furukawa.

"Old Wu, what do you think of Tomoaki Furukawa?" Dong Yaobang asked with a smile.

"He is very powerful. After all, he came from our Xia country." Wu Weijin didn't know Furukawa Tomoaki very well.

"Not very strong, but extremely strong, and will definitely be a strong rival of our Xia team in the future!" Dong Yaobang said firmly.

Wu Weijin was stunned. He didn't expect that Dong Yaobang had such a high opinion of Furukawa Tomoaki.

"Because when you see how he plays, his technical and tactical level is completely based on a series of advanced technologies that our Xia country has publicly exposed. However, a Li Ying suddenly appeared in our Xia country's national table tennis team. I have confidence in Li Ying and I will definitely be able to suppress him in the future!" Dong Yaobang said with a confident smile.

"What you said, do you think the Dragon, Phoenix and Turtle can't suppress him?" Because it was a purely private chat, Wu Weijin spoke boldly and directly.

"It will be a draw at best. Of course, Liang Long, Kong Fengge and Xu Guinian all have a lot of room for improvement," Dong Yaobang said with a smile.

After all, the Dragon and Phoenix Turtle is also the future star of the new generation of Xia Kingdom.

They all stood out from the countless table tennis talents in Xia Country.

“So according to what you said, Li Ying doesn’t have much room for improvement?” Wu Weijin said with a smile.

In Wu Weijin's heart, he actually wanted to take Li Ying under his wing.

However, in the national table tennis team, coaches and players implement a two-way selection process.

Moreover, it is not yet time for the coaching staff to select players, and the coaching staff changeover has not yet started, but it is expected to be soon.

"Li Ying is already very strong now, although I feel very surprised. But I always feel that Li Ying, who won the open championship, is now not inferior to Meng Li and Ma Qing at all. You have to know that this year is the peak year for Ma Qing. However, because of the inorganic glue, Ma Qing's strength will definitely decline in the future. As for Meng Li, he can still make a breakthrough."

"In fact, even as the head coach, I am not very clear about the future structure of the national table tennis team. I also don't know when Longfenggui will be able to truly take over from Qianlima and become the core players. But I can predict that Li Ying will definitely seize power earlier than Longfenggui. This national championship is Li Ying's best chance!"

Dong Yaobang likes Li Ying because Li Ying has never lost a game so far, whether it is a civil war or a foreign war.

If Li Ying can maintain such a winning rate in foreign matches, then there will be no coach in the national table tennis team who dislikes Li Ying.

At this moment, Li Ying said to Su Yan: "Brother Su, let me simulate Felix's play a little bit. Then you can adapt to it simply. You won't be confused when you get on the court!"

Su Yan was very happy to hear this.

"Aying, thank you so much. Without further ado, if I beat Felix, I will treat you to a big dinner when I return to China!" Su Yan was overjoyed.

Li Ying activated the fantasy space. At this time, Li Ying completely regarded himself as Felix.

So, he played with Su Yan according to Felix's playing style.

Li Ying's imitation was very subtle, and Su Yan quickly got the hang of it.

And the other side!
Tomoaki Furukawa actually won 2 points against Tim in the last game of the tie-break.

In this case.

Tomoaki Furukawa defeated new World Cup runner-up Thiem and advanced to the semi-finals.

No one expected this scene.

Because like Li Ying, Tomoaki Furukawa rarely appears in major competitions.

Tomoaki Furukawa has just naturalized and joined the Ryuo Country.

At this time, Wu Weijin gave Dong Yaobang a thumbs up.

"You are right, this Furukawa Tomoaki is indeed very impressive!" Wu Weijin's vision is so experienced, after all, he has been a coach in the national team for such a long time.

The competition in the lower half will start soon.

at this time.

Dong Yaobang serves as Su Yan's off-court coach.

Li Ying and Wu Weijin sat behind Dong Yaobang and cheered for Su Yan.

At this time, there was extremely warm applause and cheers at the scene.

Because Felix showed up.

Felix, now 17 years old, is already the star player of the French team.

Although young, he is very strong.

Currently ranked in the world, it is already in the top ten.

Su Yan was initially overwhelmed by the crazy cheering for Felix at the scene. After all, Felix was a local player, and he was young and handsome. He had a lot of fans in France.

In the first game, Su Yan lost.

but.

Su Yan's heart calmed down.

Because he had already seen Felix's playing style and path.

Li Ying completely and almost 100% simulated Felix's playing skills and tactics.

In the end, Su Yan swept Felix 4:2, directly stopping the heated atmosphere at the scene.

Felix was frustrated.

But after losing the game, he was still very graceful, thanking and apologizing to the fans who cheered for him.

at this time.

The final match of the quarterfinals was also extremely exciting.

Dimitri vs. Truus.

And finally.

They fought until the seventh inning.

Perhaps it was because Thiem had already lost in the upper half, defeated by Tomoaki Furukawa.

In this way, Dimitri finally had a crazy outburst in the seventh game, defeated Truss and advanced to the semi-finals.

The lineup for the semi-final matchup immediately came out.

Upper half: Li Ying VS Tomoaki Furukawa.

Lower half: Su Yan VS Dimitri.

The semi-finals were also very exciting.

but.

The men's doubles fight was even more exciting.

31 number.

The men's doubles semi-final combination has also been announced.

In the upper half, Li Ying and Su Yan VS Thiem and Dimitri.

In the lower half, the Felix brothers VS Tomoaki Furukawa and Yasuki Ishii.

In this case, every match in the men's singles and men's doubles semi-finals can be described as a collision between Mars and the Earth.

At this time, it has come to November 11st.

The first match to be held was not the men's singles, but the men's doubles semi-final.

After the semi-finals today, the lineup for the final will be decided.

Tomorrow, the 2nd, will be the men's singles final and men's doubles final.

The men's doubles semi-finals will start first.

However, the first match was between the Felix brothers and the Ryu-Sakura men's doubles team.

at this time.

The scene can be called the devil's home court.

More and more fans came to cheer for the Felix brothers.

The men's doubles match began, and Dong Yaobang suddenly asked with great interest: "A Ying, who do you think will win this men's doubles match?"

"Ryuying Country!" Li Ying said with a smile.

After this was said, Dong Yaobang asked in surprise: "Do you think the men's doubles of Ryu-Oku are stronger than the Felix brothers?"

In Dong Yaobang's mind, he believed that the Felix brothers had a greater chance of winning.

"An army in despair will surely win. This kind of atmosphere is suitable for a favorable situation. But the more this happens, the more the opponent will want to destroy this devilish home atmosphere. On the contrary, if it were me, I would like to do what Brother Su did yesterday and directly break up the hot home atmosphere!" Li Ying said with a smile.

"That does make sense!" Dong Yaobang nodded slightly.

The men's doubles semi-finals are over.

In the end, when it came to the fifth set of the last set, it was the Ryu-Sakura men's doubles combination that had the last laugh.

Felix brothers, just lost 2 points.

In this way, Tomoaki Furukawa and Yasuki Ishii were the first to enter the men's doubles final.

At this moment, it was Li Ying and Su Yan's turn to appear.

At this moment, Yasuki Ishii, who had just won the game, came with Tomoaki Furukawa to provoke Li Ying.

Yasuki Ishii asked Tomoaki Furukawa to translate for him.

"Li Ying, in the men's doubles match, we are going to sweep you 3-0!" Ishii Yasuki looked at Li Ying and said almost gritting his teeth.

Because of Li Ying, he became a laughing stock, four 11:0s, this will last throughout his career.

However, this is what Yasuki Ishii said, but Tomoaki Furukawa did not translate it this way.

"Li Yingjun, we will try our best to defeat you in the finals!" Furukawa Tomoaki didn't dare to be so arrogant, for fear of angering Li Ying, because his opponent in the men's singles semi-finals was Li Ying.

And Tomoaki Furukawa still wants to play a trick on Li Ying. It is not too late to defeat Li Ying in the men's singles semi-finals.

Li Ying sneered slightly.

Tomoaki Furukawa thought he couldn't understand the words of Ryuukakuen, but Li Ying could.

After Tomoaki Furukawa finished translating, he directly pulled Yasuki Ishii away because the men's doubles match between Li Ying and Su Yan was about to begin.
