Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 207 Xiaguo Open, Liang Long defeated Li Ying 4-0, Li Ying's first runner-up in his career

Who can really beat Li Ying?

"Who is the warrior who defeats the great devil?"

"How long will the career of 'Unbeatable Kirin' Li Ying and his invincible years last?"

When Li Ying defended his title, news media around the world were paying attention to Li Ying.

although.

Globally, table tennis is not a very popular sport and is far inferior to football and basketball.

but.

Li Ying has become a phenomenal player in the international table tennis world.

all of these.

It’s all because of Li Ying’s invincibility.

Although Li Ying has lost to Kong Fengge in singles in the Table Tennis Super League.

but.

The ITTF does not recognize it.

because.

The rules followed by the Table Tennis Super League are not the rules of the International Table Tennis Federation.

and so.

In the international table tennis world, everyone believes that Li Ying remains undefeated so far.

This is just like Li Ying’s previous defeat in the team competition.

These team competitions include a commercial star game and the Table Tennis Super League.

None of them are authentic intercontinental or world team competitions.

Li Ying has never lost in the team competitions of these major competitions.

Including national championships and national games.

After winning the championship.

The Chinese national table tennis team set off for home.

At the Imperial Capital International Airport, fans who came to pick up the players blocked the airport.

finally.

The Chinese national table tennis team was delayed at the international airport for quite a long time before they were able to get away.

In Xia country.

Table tennis has undoubtedly become the number one sport.

because.

As for Xiaguo’s domestic football, there is no need to talk about it.

The table tennis team is invincible in the world.

As for the football team, it is also invincible in the world.

nowadays.

The rise of table tennis superstars represented by Li Ying and the dominance of unicorns, dragons, phoenixes and turtles in the sports world have brought countless traffic to the sport of table tennis.

At Li Ying's home.

Wang Xianlan complained, “Xiaoying, your men’s team is so lucky.”

Li Ying understood immediately.

What Wang Xianlan said.

According to the regulations, the top four teams in the men's and women's team events of the 2012 National Table Tennis Championships will be directly qualified to participate in the final stage of the team competition of the 4th National Games.

And last year's national championship.

Under Li Ying's leadership, Lingnan has been dominating the men's team championship.

but.

The Lingnan women's team led by Wang Xianlan was not so lucky.

In this case.

Wang Xianlan needs to lead the Lingnan women's team to play in the preliminaries.

soon.

Li Ying accompanied Wang Xianlan to Changjiang.

The table tennis team preliminaries of the 12th National Games ended in Changjiang on the morning of June 6. The Lucun men's and women's teams, led by two world champions Zhang Kongfengge and Ji Chuanxia, ​​successfully qualified for the finals.

Although Wei Laixing of the Lingnan women's team won all the individual victories, they were unable to qualify due to their lack of overall strength.

but.

The qualifiers are still going on.

The 16 places for the mixed doubles finals have been decided. The Bayi team became the biggest winner, and four other pairs including the mixed doubles combination led by Mengli advanced.

Of course, strong players such as Liang Long/Qiao Yuning, Li Ying/Wang Xianlan all advanced.

In the mixed doubles competition, the national team is full of strong players.

Li Ying, Liang Long, Meng Li, Xu Guinian, Lin Wangyuan, Zhou Yu, Ma Qing and other famous national table tennis players all paired up with female athletes to form mixed doubles.

The table tennis preliminaries for the 6th National Games continued on June 6, with 16 pairs of men's doubles players advancing to the finals.

Moreover, in the men's doubles competition, it is truly a gathering of strong players.

Li Ying/Lin Wangyuan and Ma Qing/Yu Xuejian, the Lingnan provincial team alone has two pairs of men's doubles.

Meng Li/Su Yan, Liang Long/Yan An, Kong Fengge/Fang Bo and others also joined forces.

Besides.

There are also Zhao Dongyuan, Qian Zhongtian and Sun Guanqing, who each teamed up with famous stars from Hong Kong, Macao and Formosa to form the men's doubles team.

It can be said.

The men's doubles in this year's National Games is also full of highlights.

After finishing the qualifiers in Changjiang.

Li Ying rushed to the imperial capital without stopping.

because.

A press conference for the 2013 Table Tennis Super League was held in the capital.

then.

Li Ying and Wang Xianlan rushed to the Northeast.

because.

This year's Summer Open begins in the Spring City of Northeast China.

As for the Xiaguo Open, Li Ying would participate no matter what.

after all.

This is a way to give back to the fans who support us.

Many fans came to Spring City to support.

Li Ying was deeply moved.

And this time in the Xiaguo Open, the Xiaguo national table tennis team and the German national table tennis team formed a multinational men's doubles combination.

among them.

Tim is paired with Liang Long, while Dimitri is paired with Yan An.

Of course, Kong Fengge and Meng Li also teamed up with German players to form the men's doubles.

But it's obvious.

Their teammates are not strong.

Anyway, most people think that the final men's doubles final will be Liang Long/Tiem VS Dimitri/Yan An.

However, the game has not started yet, so it is still unknown who will win.

As for the Xiaguo national table tennis team, they sent out six men's singles players to compete in the men's singles.

Kirin, dragon, phoenix and turtle!

Monri!

Yan An!

As Ma Qing gradually faded out of the national team, Yan An stood out among the three young players of 92. At present, it seems that he is more trusted by the national table tennis coaching staff.

At least.

Compared with Fang Bo and Zhou Yu, he is more valued by the Xia Guo national table tennis coaching team.

of course.

Yan An himself was also beaten out.

For example, in this year's World Table Tennis Championships, Yan An was the only one among the 92 youngsters who qualified for the singles competition.

.

Neither Fang Bo nor Zhou Yu qualified for the singles competition.

Spring City.

Every time Li Ying makes a public appearance, he attracts the attention of his die-hard fans!

This is equivalent to a big gathering of Li Ying's die-hard fans.

of course.

It can be considered as coming to Spring City to escape the summer heat.

As for the Xiaguo Open, proceed as planned!

2013年国际乒联夏国公开赛6月15日在春城进入男单第二轮的争夺，世界冠军孔凤歌在男单16进8的比赛中退赛。

The other three men's singles players from Xia Guo advanced into the quarterfinals.

Three pairs of international men's doubles advanced to the semi-finals. The focus of today's match was the contest between young players Yan An and Kong Fengge.

In the Paris World Table Tennis Championships, although Yan An lost 0-4, he showed his murderous spirit.

本场比赛中，首局孔凤歌以11-7先下一城，易地再战，阎安以11-6、11-5连扳两局反超。

第4局孔凤歌以11-6再胜，但随后他因肩伤无奈退赛，阎安以4-2获胜晋级。

In this case.

The top eight are freshly announced.

Li Ying, Liang Long, Meng Li, Yan An, Tim, Dimitri, Zhao Dongyuan, Sun Guanqing.

night.

before resting.

Li Ying talked on the phone with Wang Xianlan for a long time.

"Compared to our men's singles, your women's singles are stronger. Once again, they swept the top four without any suspense. You, Ji Chuanxia, ​​Qiao Yuning, and Xu Mingyue are all participating in the competition. How can other players survive?"

Li Ying teased Wang Xianlan.

Wang Xianlan smiled and said, "A small win, so it's possible that you guys in the men's singles will sweep the top four as well."

Li Ying smiled and said, "I don't think it's very likely."

"I will play against Xu Mingyue in the semi-finals, and if I can make it to the finals, I will face the winner between Sister Xia and Sister Ning. The women's singles championship of the Xia Country Open this time is not easy to win. Because I feel that this time, Sister Xia is aiming for the women's singles championship of the Xia Country Open!" Wang Xianlan said with a smile.

Li Ying smiled but said nothing.

Ji Chuanxia's luck was taken away by Wang Xianlan.

Logically speaking, it should be Ji Chuanxia who won the World Table Tennis Championships in Paris this year and became the new Grand Slam winner.

but.

However, Wang Xianlan achieved a Grand Slam at the 2012 Rio Olympics.

Then.

In this life on Blue Star, Ji Chuanxia's achievements are naturally not as dazzling as Li Ying's in previous life.

That being the case.

As for the championship, it is natural that they are extremely eager.

"It's okay. When the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers. When the water comes, we will block it with earth. Who knows that I will also be defeated in this Xia Country Open?" Li Ying said with a smile.

Hearing Li Ying's self-deprecating remarks, Wang Xianlan suddenly became anxious.

"I would rather lose than see you lose!" Wang Xianlan really cared about Li Ying.

"I have been thoroughly studied now, especially since I defended my title at the Paris World Championships. I have won the men's singles championship three times in a row. In this situation, both foreign and domestic superstars will definitely be studied in detail!" Li Ying said with a smile.

Having said that, Li Ying is fearless.

Because no matter how much research is done, the final outcome will be determined by competition.

The evening of April 6.

The men's singles quarter-finals of the 2013 ITTF Summer China Open were held.

That is eight into four.

The match between Monli and German player Thiem was a focus battle. The two were in a stalemate at the beginning. After the scores were tied at 10 and 11, Thiem seized the opportunity to score two points in a row and won the first game 13-11.

但之后的比赛却完全被蒙里掌握，11-2、11-9、11-6、11-2，他连扳四局以4-1逆转取胜。

Top seed Li Ying met Zhao Dongyuan in the quarter-finals. Li Ying won the first game 1-4, but Zhao Dongyuan was injured and had to withdraw from the competition.

In this way, Li Ying won 4-0 and advanced.

It is worth mentioning that Li Ying’s opponent in the previous round also withdrew due to injury, so Li Ying won without a fight.

The focus of the lower half is Liang Long vs. Dimitri.

The whole world is watching to see whether Dimitri can break the curse.

Liang Long was a little slow to get into the game in the first game, and Dimitri led all the way to win 11-4.

After changing the venue, Liang Long pulled back a point with 11-7.

迪米特里在第3局以11-5再胜，总比分2-1领先。

在落后的形势下，梁龙开始反扑，以11-3、11-6、11-6连扳三局以4-2逆转拿下。

In another match, Yan An faced last year's World Cup champion Sun Guanqing.

Everyone thought that Sun Guanqing would definitely be able to defeat Yan An.

But Yan An just fought for this.

在内战中发挥更为出色，以11-5、11-9、13-11、11-7直落四局横扫孙观清晋级。

It can be said.

This result.

Before the game, no one had expected this.

In this case.

The men's table tennis team of Xia country is the same as the women's table tennis team.

Took all four places.

In this case.

The Xia country men's table tennis team has already secured the championship and runner-up spots.

but.

For the German players, the game is not over yet.

Both seats in the men's doubles final were taken by the multinational combination of Xia and De.

迪米特里/阎安在与对手的较量中以3-1(11-7、7-11、11-6、11-5)拿下。

In the other semifinal, the men's doubles combination led by Tim/Liang Long and Monli fought fiercely and fell behind 0-2 at one point.

but.

蒂姆和梁龙绝地反击，连扳三局以3-2(13-15、12-14、11-5、11-9、11-9)逆转获胜。

In the final, Dimitri/Yan An will compete with Thiem/Liang Long for the men's doubles championship.

Before the men's singles semi-finals.

Li Ying was teased by Wang Xianlan.

"Huh, yesterday we were saying that our women's table tennis team swept all four places in the semi-finals, but today, your men's table tennis team also swept all four places in the semi-finals!" Wang Xianlan said innocently.

The 2013 ITTF Summer China Open Spring City Station entered its final day of competition on June 6.

The top four in women's singles were taken by Xia Guo players Wang Xianlan, Ji Chuanxia, ​​Qiao Yuning and Xu Mingyue.

The first semifinal was between Qiao Yuning and Ji Chuanxia. This match was arguably the most watched women's singles match in this tournament.

In the semi-finals of the Paris World Table Tennis Championships last month, Li Xiaoxia defeated her opponent 4-2 and won the women's singles runner-up, losing to Wang Xianlan.

In this match, the two played extremely closely. After the first four games, the score was tied at 4-2, and then tied at 3-7, dragging the match into the deciding game. In the deciding game, Ji Chuanxia once led 3-, but Qiao Yuning then scored five points in a row to overtake the score.

而季传霞稳住阵脚，在9平的关键时刻两次果断出手，拿下了整场比赛，7局比分分别为12-10、9-11、10-12、13-11、7-11、11-8、11-9。

In the other semifinal, Wang Xianlan won the first game 11-9.

易地再战，许明月11-6还以颜色，但此后比赛进入了王仙兰的节奏，她以11-8、11-7、11-7连拿3局，从而以4-1淘汰对手跻身决赛。

决赛中，季传霞依然强势，面对刚刚在巴黎世乒赛的老对手王仙兰，她以4-1(11-8、11-9、11-4、4-11、11-5)战胜王仙兰夺取冠军，王仙兰收获亚军。

The first semifinal was between top seed Li Ying and Meng Li. After the start of the game, Li Ying quickly won the first two games with 11-4 and 11-8.

尽管蒙里在第3局以11-7扳回一城，但李赢在第4局的关键时刻处理更好，10平后连赢两分以12-10拿下，取得总比分3-1的领先。

Monli fought hard in the fifth game and won another game with 5-11.

The two were in a stalemate in the sixth game, and Li Ying once again demonstrated his ability to seize opportunities at critical moments, winning 15-13 and defeating Monli 4-2 to advance into the final.

另一场半决赛中，梁龙以13-11、11-2、11-7、13-11直落4局，横扫阎安晋级决赛。

In the final, Liang Long got into the game quickly in the first game and won the first game 11-8.

After changing venue, the competition between the two sides became more intense. After 6 ties and 8 ties, Liang Long won 3 points in a row and won another game 11-8, changing the score to 2-0.

With two games in hand, Liang Long played more relaxed. He performed more easily in the third game, quickly taking the lead 3-8 and quickly winning the game 1-11, extending the total score to 2-3.

Trailing 0-3, Li Ying had no way out. In comparison, Liang Long was more powerful. The two sides tied several times in this game, but when it came to the crucial ball, Liang Long was better and secured the victory with 11-8, thus defeating Li Ying 4-0 and winning the men's singles title of this competition.

When the Xiaguo Open ended, no one expected that Liang Long would sweep Li Ying 4-0 to win the championship.

Li Ying finally won a runner-up title in his career.

Liang Long's performance today was undoubtedly at a superb level.

After the game, Liang Long himself couldn't believe it.

at this time.

Li Ying took the initiative to step forward.

"Brother Long, don't be dazed, you won the championship of the open tournament!" Li Ying congratulated with a smile.

Li Ying smiled calmly at this moment, and didn't feel like a failure at all!
It’s not shameful to lose to Liang Long.

Liang Long woke up as if from a dream.

At this moment, he still couldn't believe it.

Because happiness often comes too suddenly.

Liang Long was already prepared, and Li Ying would definitely fight back when he was trailing 0-3.

but.

He really swept Li Ying with a score of 4-0 and won the championship of this Xiaguo Open!

When Li Ying shook hands with Qin Yucheng, he could clearly feel that Qin Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, Li Ying returned to Chen Daqian.

"Aying, it's okay. It's just a small open tournament. In a competition, there will be winners and losers. It's normal!" Chen Daqian hurriedly comforted and encouraged.

But he saw that Li Ying seemed to be not affected at all.
