Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 22: Wang Xianlan challenges Li Ying, mixed doubles and men's doubles advance rapidly

After the men's team won the championship.

The Lingnan team held a small celebration banquet.

Of course, the so-called banquet is held in the restaurant of the hotel where you stay.

However, there are many delicious foods, which Li Ying particularly likes.

The dinner was a buffet and Li Ying ate and drank a lot.

At this moment, Wang Xianlan was following beside Li Ying.

The men's team of Lingnan Province won the championship, but the women's team of Didu was completely unrivaled in the country.

Therefore, the Lingnan girl group is not like the boy group, which can stand at the top of the group.

In this competition, they lost to the Capital Girls Group 0:3 and failed to reach the semi-finals.

And next is the mixed doubles competition.

At this moment, it was Li Ying who was eating, and Wang Xianlan was peeling shrimps for Li Ying.

"Li Ying, congratulations on winning the men's group championship right after your debut!" Wang Xianlan said happily.

Although she is known as the goddess of the national table tennis team, she is the most beautiful player in the national table tennis team.

But in daily life, at least in front of Li Ying, she doesn't look like a cold goddess at all.

She joined the national table tennis team at the age of 14.

I have been in the national table tennis team for three years now.

But I usually just train and don’t have many good friends around me.

"Xianlan, you are being a bit disrespectful. Everyone knows that you were the women's singles champion of the National Championships last year, and you were also the mixed doubles champion. Not only that, your luck in women's doubles was a bit bad, otherwise, you would have won three golds instead of two golds and one silver!" Li Ying said with a smile.

Although Wang Xianlan is only 17 years old this year, she is already the next generation core leader who is being focused on by the national table tennis women's team.

Moreover, according to the gossip obtained by Li Ying, Hou Bingguang, Wang Xianlan's current head coach and once known as the twin stars of the Xiaguo national table tennis team together with the men's team head coach Dong Yaobang, will strive for the position of head coach of the women's team after this national championship.

In this case, once Hou Bingguang becomes the head coach of the women's team, Wang Xianlan's position will be more stable.

Of course, in the table tennis team, everything depends on strength.

"I only have two golds and one silver. Do you want to get four golds this time?" Wang Xianlan said with a smile.

"Then it depends on the mixed doubles match. Some people should stop holding me back!" Li Ying and Wang Xianlan are very familiar with each other. After training and before going to bed at night, they often send text messages to each other.

A hazy feeling was brewing and born between them.

only.

At present, both Li Ying and Wang Xianlan are too young.

But people like each other, and no one can stop it.

"Hmph, I won't hold you back. Little brother, you're lucky to have found a great person!" Wang Xianlan said proudly.

Li Ying glanced at Wang Xianlan and found that there was no one around.

"I don't know about thighs, but I do agree with long legs!" Li Ying laughed.

Wang Xianlan never expected that Li Ying would say such words to her.

She was furious: "What are you talking about?"

But I can only be cautious.

"I didn't say anything!" Li Ying tried hard to stuff something into his mouth.

After eating and drinking enough.

Wang Xianlan suddenly suggested: "Should we go back to the training venue to practice?"

After hearing this, Li Ying looked at Wang Xianlan in surprise.

"What? Let's fight one-on-one? Xianlan, are you asking for abuse?"

Li Ying smiled.

Because of the difference in physique and strength between male and female athletes, in a one-on-one match, female athletes are almost no match for male athletes.

of course.

In the national team, the gap may not be too obvious.

after all.

What female athletes lack is strength.

In table tennis, strength is the least important thing.

It’s mainly about speed and rotation!
"Humph, do you think you are sure to win?" Wang Xianlan was not convinced by this tone.

Pick up the table tennis racket and return to the competition venue.

Li Ying VS Wang Xianlan, one-on-one duel.

But in fact, at this time Li Ying discovered that many mixed doubles combinations were still training hard here even at night.

some of.

Including Monri.

There are 128 draws in this mixed doubles competition.

Almost all the main players of the national table tennis team also participated in the mixed doubles.

After one game, Wang Xianlan no longer had the desire to compete with Li Ying alone.

11: 0.

"Li Ying, you are so cruel. You don't give me a penny and shave my head!" Wang Xianlan said with a slight pout.

Inside, I feel a great sense of frustration.

"If you can't even beat 11:0, how can you compete with the table tennis superstars who are so many masters all over the world!" Li Ying said nonsense in a serious manner.

"Go on!" Wang Xianlan was not convinced. She didn't believe that she couldn't get a single point from Li Ying.

Second set.

Still 11:0.

At this time, Wang Xianlan was convinced. "Admit that you are strong, and I will hug your thigh, okay?" Wang Xianlan said in a coaxing tone.

Li Ying smiled and said, "No, I just let you experience the strength of the male players in advance. This way, you don't have to be afraid when you meet them."

"Humph, I'm not afraid anyway!" Wang Xianlan said proudly.

"Yes, Miss Wang is not afraid!"

November 11, 21:8 am.

The mixed doubles competition of the National Championships officially begins.

Meng Enming serves as the off-court coach for Li Ying and Wang Xianlan.

"Aying, Xianlan, your mixed doubles pair, along with Mengli and Shu Yuai, are listed as the top seeds for this tournament. Mengli/Shu Yuai are in the 1/4 zone, and you are in the 4/4 zone. However, mixed doubles pairs like Su Yan, Liang Long, Xu Guinian, and Kong Fengge are all very strong. If you want to win the championship, you must first get out of your zone and enter the semifinals!"

Li Ying smiled and said, "It's okay, the national championship is like this, every member of the national team and even the provincial team is very strong. But we were lucky in the first round, we got a bye!"

Wang Xianlan also said, "Not only do we have a bye, but Mengli and Aijie also have a bye!"

Meng Enming smiled and said, "Even if you have a bye in the first round, you still have to play the second round, third round, fourth round, and quarter-finals to enter the semi-finals. There are five rounds in total. Only if you stand out from this division can you enter the mixed doubles semi-finals. Then you will compete with the other three divisions in the semi-finals to compete for the final mixed doubles championship!"

"From 15:00 in the afternoon, the women's singles and men's doubles will begin. Your daily competition schedule is tight and the tasks are heavy. Can your physical strength support it?"

Meng Enming was worried about Li Ying and Wang Xianlan, as he didn't have the physical strength to support them.

"I can do it!" Li Ying had no problem at all. Young people are so confident that no matter how much physical strength they consume, they can recover quickly.

Not to mention.

There is also the reward for becoming the men's team champion.

With this thought in mind, Li Ying looked at the career panel.

The reward for winning the French Open Men's Singles Championship is to upgrade any table tennis skill to the maximum level. Until now, Li Ying has not decided which skill to upgrade to the maximum level.

But now, Li Ying has an idea in his mind.

Pick and hit!

All of a sudden.

Upgrade your table tennis skills to the maximum level!
The reward for the men's team champion is the term "unlimited energy".

【Unlimited Energy: Can temporarily burn body fat, replenish physical strength and endurance in a short period of time, enhance physical fitness, and restore physical fitness.】

After Li Ying and Wang Xianlan finished the second round of mixed doubles and swept each other 3:0, today's mixed doubles competition ended.

Wang Xianlan went to prepare for the women's singles competition.

Li Ying, together with Ma Qing, prepared for the men's doubles competition.

"Aying, Aqing, there are many strong teams in this men's doubles competition. But there is good news, you and Mengli/Kong Fengge are the seeds of the tournament. In this case, Mengli/Kong Fengge will defend the upper half, and you will defend the lower half! Moreover, according to the draw, Chen Daqian/Xu Guinian are in the upper half. There will be a fierce battle in the upper half. However, there are also strong teams in your lower half, and the Liang Long combination should not be underestimated!" Meng Enming said with a smile.

After saying this, Li Ying laughed and said, "Hey, it seems that no matter which event you participate in, the most important opponent is still the 'familiar people' of the national table tennis team!"

Li Ying was filled with emotion, the same was true for the mixed doubles and the men's doubles.

"That's nothing. I think A Qing has more experience than you in this regard. The three of them are truly a 'bad fate'!" Meng Enming said with a joking smile.

That is Meng Enming. If any other coach had made fun of him, it would probably be considered a provocation.

Ma Qing could only respond with a wry smile.

Indeed, the three of them, Qianlima, were bound and involved with each other, making it a complete mess.

For example, he is the runner-up of the World Table Tennis Championships three times.

Although he won the Olympic men's singles gold medal, he was only one step away from winning the singles title at the World Table Tennis Championships to become a Grand Slam champion.

As for Mengli, all he lacks is the Olympic gold medal in men's singles.

So is Chen Daqian.

Two-time Olympic bronze medalist!

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the men's doubles match began.

No one gets a bye.

Played two rounds.

With the strength of Li Ying and Ma Qing, they could completely sweep the opponent.

In this case.

Li Ying can currently continue to play in both mixed doubles and men's doubles.

At 19:00 in the evening, the men's singles competition will begin.

There are 128 draws for the men's singles in this competition. All the outstanding players from the first and second teams of the Xia national team will participate, which can be called a table tennis feast.

In the men's singles competition, Monli, as the top seed, occupies the first draw spot. He is likely to face Su Yan in the quarter-finals. There are also three famous players Xu Guinian, Dou Yang and Liang Long in the upper half.

Olympic champion Ma Qing is at the end of the draw, and the competition in the lower half is equally brutal, it can be called the group of death. If it weren't for Li Ying's sudden rise, Chen Daqian would have met Ma Qing in the semi-finals, but Kong Fengge might have become a "spoiler".

The reason why the lower half is considered the group of death is because Li Ying is also in the lower half.

Among them, Mengli is in charge of the 1/4 area, and there is Su Yan.

Xu Guinian, Dou Yang and Liang Long are all in zone 2/4.

Li Ying and Chen Daqian are in zone 3/4.

Ma Qing and Kong Fengge are in zone 4/4.

In other words, the men's singles competition has not yet started, but the top eight have almost been decided.

Of course, in Zone 2/4, because there are three national first-team table tennis players, Xu Guinian, Dou Yang and Liang Long, it is still unknown who will be eliminated and who will enter the top 8.

After all, in the national championship, anything is possible.

When Li Ying saw the sign-in list, he could only say that the event organizing committee had put a lot of effort into it.

Perfectly prevent him, the Thousand-Li Horse, and the Dragon, Phoenix and Turtle from fighting in the early stages.

But after the quarterfinals, that doesn’t matter.

Since we can make it to the top 8, it doesn’t matter who wins.

Anyway, the Chinese table tennis team will win.
