Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 55: Truss was boiled to death by Li Ying
After Li Ying defeated Park Kwang-ho with a strong force, he blocked Park Kwang-ho from entering the quarterfinals and stopped him in the round of 16.

Li Ying advanced into the quarterfinals.

Next opponent.

It is naturally the 4/4 zone seed, Truth.

But Li Ying had no time to think about the next round because at this time.

The men's doubles match has begun.

Li Ying hurriedly reunited with Xu Guinian, and the person who coached the Li Ying/Xu Guinian men's doubles combination was naturally Chen Daqian.

The off-court coach for Liang Long/Kong Fengge was not Liang Long's head coach Qin Yucheng, but Kong Fengge's head coach Liao Huazhong.

because.

As an off-field coach, Liao Huazhong is particularly passionate.

Unlike Qin Yucheng, his style is to formulate strict tactics before the battle and then strictly execute the tactics during the game.

But when it comes to on-the-spot guidance, it's a bit routine and lacks passion.

In the men's doubles match, Li Ying could see that Xu Guinian particularly needed to vent.

Xu Guinian was very angry because the men's singles was eliminated in the second round.

Li Ying let Xu Guinian perform. After all, as the current men's doubles partner, Li Ying secretly hopes that Xu Guinian will become stronger.

In this case.

Their chances of winning will be even greater when they face Liang Long/Kong Fengge in the men's doubles final.

Li Ying turned into a super auxiliary, while Xu Guinian became the main scorer.

Sweep the opponent directly.

After the second day's game and dinner, we returned to the hotel.

The three head coaches of the national table tennis coaching team called together the participating players for a small meeting.

房间里面，秦玉城沉声道：“如今本次丹麦公开赛的男单八强选手已经新鲜出炉，1/4分区是阿龙、菲利克斯。2/4分区是凤歌跟蒂姆。3/4分区是迪米特里、古川智章。4/4分区是阿赢跟特鲁斯。”

"Except for the 3/4 division, for the other three divisions, I hope that A'long, Fengge, and A'ying, you can all win the foreign wars, defeat your opponents, and advance to the semi-finals!"

"Among them all, the one who has the most pressure is Feng Ge. Your opponent is currently ranked fourth in the world, only behind Meng Li, Ma Qing and A Long. His strength is obvious to all!"

When saying this, Qin Yucheng looked at Kong Fengge.

Kong Fengge smiled confidently: "Please rest assured, coaching staff, I will not lose the foreign game, I will do my best to beat Thiem."

Qin Yucheng nodded heavily.

"Now let's talk about the technical characteristics of Felix, Thiem, and Truth."

Qin Yucheng analyzed the skills and tactics of the three foreign table tennis superstars one by one. These were carefully studied and summarized by the Xiaguo national table tennis coaching team.

It's full of useful information.

Li Ying also listened carefully because he would encounter these foreign table tennis superstars in future open tournaments, Asian Cup, Asian Championships and the three major competitions.

The meeting ended and everyone else left the room.

Only Li Ying and Chen Daqian were left.

"Brother Qian, you are very proud. Coach Qin and Coach Liao are veteran coaches, but they came to our room to hold the meeting today." Li Ying teased Chen Daqian.

Chen Daqian was speechless, "Aying, do you really not know why they came to our room?"

Li Ying was stunned.

"That's all because of you. Not to mention the two coaches, even if Old Wu came this time, Old Wu has seniority, but he still has to come to your room for the meeting. This is respecting the strong and respecting strength!" Chen Daqian said with a leisurely smile.

"Oh!" Li Ying seemed to understand.

"So, whether we coaches can have face in the future, our face, all depends on you to fight for us!" Chen Daqian said with a smile.

"Then don't worry, Brother Qian. I promise that you will be the most prestigious coach of the Xia national table tennis team in the future!" Li Ying said with a smile.

"That's good, go to bed early. Tomorrow we will have the quarterfinals and semifinals. There will also be the men's doubles match, which will also go to the semifinals."

A night of deep sleep.

When Li Ying got up, he found that Chen Daqian was not there.

At this moment, Chen Daqian opened the door and came in, holding a variety of breakfast in his hands.

"Brother Qian, why are you getting up so early?" Li Ying asked in surprise.

"I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up at the usual time. I'll let you sleep for half an hour longer. I'll bring you breakfast. Come and eat it quickly after you wash up." Chen Daqian said with a smile.

Li Ying was deeply moved, but said nothing.

This is their tacit understanding.

They are master and apprentice in name, but brothers in reality.

So, until now, Li Ying has always called Chen Daqian "Brother Qian".

After breakfast, leave the room and head to the competition venue.

Today, we are about to usher in the climax of this open tournament.

The quarterfinals were all exciting.

The first to be played is the 4/4 partition.

In other words.

Li Ying and Truss were the first to start the battle.

Because there are three European table tennis superstars participating in this open tournament, the Denmark Open has attracted the attention of the entire European continent.

Under the hype and hype of the European media, Dimitri, Truus, Thiem and Felix are all seen as the biggest favorites to win the championship.

After all, this is the European continent, not Asia-Pacific.

and so.

There are four superstars in this ITTF Denmark Open. At this time, the media in Europe all hope that Dimitri, Truss, Thiem and Felix can finally advance to the semi-finals.

In the end, no matter who wins the championship, who is the runner-up or third place, the medals will remain on the European continent and will not be allowed to be taken away by the Asian countries of Xia and Ryuo.

and so.

Under such circumstances, the atmosphere of the game gradually became hotter.

It has attracted more and more mainstream media in Europe.

This has dramatically increased the popularity of this open tournament.

But all of this has nothing to do with Li Ying, who is about to fight Truss.

Truss looked at Li Ying with a serious expression.

Truss had just fought with Li Ying not long ago.

Truss knew Li Ying's strength very well.

But what Truss didn't know was that Li Ying knew him very well too.

Truus is a new generation European table tennis superstar. In fact, he grew up learning the excellent table tennis techniques of Xia Guo.

The most notable feature of Truth is his racket.

Uses a unique hexagonal racket.

This racket increases the hitting area, especially in the sweet spot. According to data, its effective hitting area increases by 11%, while that of a straight racket increases by 9%.

This allows him to get closer to the table when hitting the ball, allowing him to better utilize his technical abilities, and to be more powerful on offense and have a wider coverage area on defense.

At yesterday's meeting, Li Ying recalled the technical characteristics of Truss summarized by the Xia Guo national table tennis coaching team.

The serve is excellent. Truus' serve is somewhat deceptive and can create opportunities for himself to attack.

Through different serving methods and spin changes, pressure is put on the opponent's serve. For example, Truus's serve can be cleverly combined in terms of landing point and spin, making it difficult for the opponent to accurately judge.

He has strong forehand and backhand attack capabilities, and his forehand attack is powerful and fast, with strong lethality.

Being able to hit high-quality forehand loop balls in the game, whether at close or middle table, can pose a greater threat to the opponent.

For example, in some key points, Truus' forehand attack can often help him open up the situation and get key points.

The backhand also has strong offensive capabilities and is not just limited to defense.

Truss has a comprehensive backhand technique, which allows him to effectively fight back, change lines, and attack with force. He can use his backhand technique to fight against his opponents in the game.

And dare to actively use backhand attack to create opportunities during the game.

The connection between offense and defense is fast. Truss is very quick in the transition between offense and defense. He can quickly organize an effective offense after defense and does not give the opponent too much breathing space.

This quick connection ability allows Truth to better control the rhythm in the game, quickly switching from defense to offense, making it difficult for opponents to adapt.

The lines and landing points are flexible and changeable. When hitting the ball, Truus is flexible in choosing the lines and landing points. He can often hit some unexpected balls, making it difficult for opponents to predict.

This allows Truth to mobilize his opponents through clever changes in routes and landing points during the game, disrupting their rhythm and positioning, and creating better offensive opportunities for himself.

Li Ying couldn't help but sigh that the Chinese table tennis coaching team is worthy of being the treasure of the Xiaguo national table tennis team.

How vicious their vision is.

It can be said that Truss has been studied thoroughly.

Li Ying also knew Truss's shortcomings.

But today, Li Ying is not going to make a fuss about Truss's shortcomings.

Because once Li Ying helps Truss expose his shortcomings, Truss will correct them quickly.

Li Ying was never afraid that Truss would become stronger, but if so, it might pose a threat to his teammates.

Of course, if the defeated Truss learns from the game and grows and improves, Li Ying will be powerless to stop him.

The only thing Li Ying can guarantee is that he will always become stronger faster than the foreign table tennis superstars.

Always ensure your strength and surpass all the superstars in the world.

Game start.

Truss is equivalent to fighting on home turf.

The desire to fight was particularly high, and the troops were mobilized very actively from the very beginning.

but.

The person he met was Li Ying, who had the professional profile of a table tennis player.

Li Ying, whose comprehensive skills make table tennis superstars despair.

Li Ying fully demonstrated his superb table tennis skills and performed various table tennis skills to perfection.

This prevented Truss from taking advantage of his fast attack and defense transition speed, and Li Ying was even more fearless whether competing in forehand or backhand.

Truss felt very uncomfortable during the fight, as if Li Ying was stepping on his weak spot.

Moreover, Li Ying did not show the strength that made him despair, just like a frog in boiling water.

Li Ying eventually defeated Truss 4-0.

And in every game, the score was very close.

This is what makes Truss most uncomfortable.

In every game, Truss saw hope of defeating Li Ying.

But in the end, the flower of hope was extinguished.

Li Ying was the first to enter the top four and continued to participate in the semi-finals.

Truus, a table tennis superstar who was highly expected by Europe, was eliminated in the quarterfinals.

At this moment, many European media can only pin their hopes on the other three superstars who have not yet played.
