Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 70: Ma Qing and Meng Li return to their peak, Xia Guo sweeps the men's singles semi-finals

The games in the previous few days.

For Li Ying.

There is absolutely no difficulty at all.

Li Ying's strength is constant and his condition is always at its peak. He is nothing like other table tennis superstars whose condition fluctuates.

Li Ying will not fail.

but.

It doesn’t mean that other table tennis superstars won’t fail.

Finish the second round.

Li Ying looked at Xu Guinian speechlessly.

"Brother Xu, you were eliminated in the second round of the Denmark Open because you met Liang Long. But this time, you were eliminated in the second round again. Are you trying to win the doubles championship?"

Xu Guinian was helpless.

"Aying, I can only say that this young British player Ford is not simple. His strength is definitely not weak, but it may be because it is his first time to play in a competition, so he was unknown before!"

Xu Guinian defended himself.

"But losing the foreign war and being eliminated in the second round will greatly affect your status in the coaching staff!" Li Ying really wanted to do good for Xu Guinian.

"There's nothing we can do about it, we've already lost!" Xu Guinian spread his hands and smiled bitterly.

"You didn't perform very well against Ford today. Now you can only hope that Ford makes it to the quarterfinals, otherwise, your situation will be bad. At the very least you will be scolded by your fans." Li Ying said with a smile.

"That doesn't matter."

Xu Guinian figured it out: if he lost, he lost.

No matter whether it affects his evaluation in the coaching staff's mind or he is scolded by fans, Xu Guinian doesn't care now. He feels tired and the worst that can happen is the destruction of the world.

"Then you should focus on doubles."

Li Ying smiled helplessly.

Xu Guinian nodded.

Xu Guinian was eliminated in the men's singles.

But Li Ying is still making great progress.

then.

Just like in the last Denmark Open, Xu Guinian put all his energy into the doubles match.

The doubles match between Li Ying and Xu Guinian was like being in an empty space.

At this moment.

In Xu Guinian's eyes, even if the Su Yan/Ma Qing combination stood in front of him, he would crush them.

then.

In the end, the four major divisions of the men's singles competition each decided on the only two winners, who became the top eight of the Kuwait Open.

1/4 Division: Li Ying, Dimitri.

2/4 zone: Meng Li, Tomoaki Furukawa.

3/4 zone: Ma Qing, Tim.

4/4 zone: Liang Long, Fude.

Ford advanced to the quarterfinals by defeating Truss.

In this case.

It seems understandable that Xu Guinian lost to Fude.

after all.

Even Truss lost to the young player Ford, which shows that Ford is no ordinary player.

It is capable.

Men's doubles competition.

Li Ying/Xu Guinian also entered the quarterfinals.

Although Li Ying is in the 1/4 division.

but.

The quarter-final match between Li Ying and Dimitri started last.

at this time.

Li Ying and Chen Daqian sat in the spectator seats and watched the game.

First of all.

It's Liang Long vs. Ford.

The game was very intense and tense.

"This young British player Ford suddenly emerged in this open tournament. He is very talented!" Chen Daqian said in a deep voice.

"It's normal. The quality of open tournaments is getting higher and higher. It feels like the strength of table tennis players around the world has improved to a higher level."

Li Ying couldn't quite understand the table tennis sport on Blue Star.

On earth, our motherland is the only superpower.

Therefore, table tennis does not show the flavor of Blue Star, which is similar to the contention of a hundred schools of thought.

Although Xiaguo is currently a table tennis superpower.

but.

But it is far from dominating the world.

In the field of table tennis, it is more appropriate to describe it as "one superpower and many strong countries".

In other words, the table tennis on Blue Planet is completely different from the table tennis on Earth in Li Ying’s memory.

Li Ying didn't know whether the fluctuation of time and space was caused by his travel through time.

"Table tennis skills and tactics are developing very quickly, and table tennis superstars from all over the world are improving their strength at a very fast rate," said Chen Daqian with a smile.

"What a tense match. This Ford has a great impact!"

nowadays.

Liang Long and Fude, you play one game at a time.

finally.

Liang Long narrowly defeated Ford 4-3.

Ford almost overturned Liang Long.

Liang Long is the first player to advance to the men's singles semi-finals of the Kuwait Open.

Followed by.

It was Ma Qing who beat Tim.

Thiem is also at his peak now.

but.

Li Ying looked at Ma Qing, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

Super god state!
Only Li Ying could see that Ma Qing had the same light as Meng Li.

That is the light of the Super God.

That is a vision that can only be experienced when one enters a super-god state.

In other words.

Ma Qing's condition has now returned to the peak of the Olympic men's singles final.

In other words.

His current strength rating has definitely reached 98 points.

Thinking of this, Li Ying searched for Mengli in the field again.

But Monri was not seen.

But since Ma Qing has now entered a super god state.

Then I guess Monri can do it too.

and.

Looking at this light, it doesn't seem like a temporary entry into a super-god state at all.

moment.

A not-so-good thought came to Li Ying's mind.

Super God Constant!

Li Ying didn’t know how long Ma Qing could maintain his super godly state.

How long can he maintain his peak?

But I'm afraid it can definitely last until the Yokohama World Table Tennis Championships.

after all.

In order to win the World Table Tennis Championships, Ma Qing is willing to pay any price.

after all.

He is only one step away from a Grand Slam title. Ma Qing has participated in six World Championships since 1997.

among them.

He reached the finals of the World Table Tennis Championships three times.

It’s a pity that they failed to win the championship. They were already the Sanya king of the World Table Tennis Championships.

And, there is a bronze medal.

This year's Yokohama World Table Tennis Championships will be Ma Qing's seventh attempt to win the men's singles title.

Can be imagined.

Ma Qing almost burned himself.

and so.

Even if Thiem is very strong, as long as he does not reach the Grand Slam legendary star with a score of 98, he will be unable to compete with Ma Qing.

In Li Ying's opinion.

Thiem's ​​strength has also reached 97, and he can be said to be a Grand Slam-level table tennis superstar.

but.

If you are not the only one with 97 points, you can’t become a Grand Slam.

not to mention.

In today's world men's table tennis, there are also Mengli and Ma Qing with 98 points.

At least.

In the Imperial Capital Olympics, their men's singles finals had reached 98 points, making them legendary stars at the Grand Slam level.

now.

They are simply returning to their peak.

finally.

Thiem was swept 4-0 by Ma Qing.

then.

It's Monri's turn to appear.

Nothing unexpected.

Even Ma Qing can return to the legendary star level of 98 points, so how could Monri not be able to do the same?

There was a dazzling light emanating from Mengli.

This was a solid lesson for the young Tomoaki Furukawa.

Tomoaki Furukawa was beaten so hard by Mengli that he felt like he had no desire to live.

He was completely confused.

Monli almost crushed Tomoaki Furukawa 4-0.

This made Tomoaki Furukawa even more afraid of the Natsuki national table tennis team.

then.

It's Li Ying's turn to appear.

Li Ying's opponent is Dimitri.

Li Ying did not dare to underestimate him.

Maybe Diplodocus is the Tianke Dimitri.

But in fact.

As long as Dimitri doesn't meet Diplodocus, he will be able to fight against any superstar in the world.

It may be difficult to compete with Mengli and Ma Qing, who have both reached 98 points.

and so.

Dimitri was confident.

and.

In the German national table tennis team, the focus is on studying Li Ying.

Dimitri looked at Lee Win.

Li Ying is clearly the core player of the next generation of the Xiaguo national table tennis team.

Even now, he may have inherited the position vacated by Chen Daqian.

Although the core position in table tennis does not require inheritance from master to apprentice.

But Li Ying surpassed the Dragon, Phoenix and Turtle entirely by relying on his own strength, and thus took the lead in gaining the position of the core force.

Game start.

Dimitri's confidence was gradually destroyed by Li Ying.

Li Ying did not show the absolute invincible confidence of Meng Li and Ma Qing.

But Li Ying's playing style is different.

It's as if you can clearly see Li Ying's limits, but they are always out of reach.

and so.

Li won four straight sets.

Defeated Dimitri 4-0.

In this case.

Li Ying also advanced to the semi-finals.

The Xia Guo team successfully reached the semi-finals in the men's singles of the Kuwait Open.

The top four men's singles players are all main players of the Xiaguo national table tennis team.

All of a sudden.

Seeing this scene, the table tennis powers, such as Germany, France, Sweden, Korea and Ryujo, were very helpless.

In the short term, it seems that it will be impossible to shake Xia's status as a superpower.

After the men's singles semi-finals.

It’s the men’s doubles semi-finals.

finally.

Four pairs of men's doubles, Li Ying/Xu Guinian, Su Yan/Ma Qing, Liang Long/Dou Yang and Thiem/Dimitri, advanced to the semifinals.

In this case.

Xia Guo performed very well in this Kuwait Open.

If it weren't for the men's doubles combination of Thiem and Dimitri, and if Xia Guo hadn't sent out a fourth men's doubles combination this time, I'm afraid that the men's doubles semi-finals would have been monopolized by Xia Guo.

All of a sudden.

All the major table tennis powers are shouting that the wolf is coming.

How come the Xia national table tennis team, after the great master Chen Daqian, not only did not become weaker, but became stronger instead, even after he retired?

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that it is related to Li Ying.

Li Ying quickly added Chen Daqian's position.

Men's singles semi-finals.

Monli VS Diplodocus!

Li Ying VS Ma Qing!

I saw this kind of confrontation when the national table tennis team gathered together for dinner.

Liang Long was helpless.

Because he lost more than he won against Monri.

Instead, Ma Qing was very excited.

"A Ying, last time we went straight to Yokohama and the strongest twelve people on earth, I was injured and didn't fight you. I gave up directly. This time I have a chance to fight you!"

Today, Ma Qing’s confidence has completely returned.

Because he could feel that he had returned to the peak he reached at last year's Olympics.

and so.

He is not afraid of Li Ying at all now.

"Brother Ma, that's great."

Li Ying would not be afraid at all.

So what if he's super god.

Moreover, it is much better to have more legendary players like Ma Qing and Mengli who have completed the Grand Slam with 98 points now than to wait until the Yokohama World Table Tennis Championships to meet them.

Because by then, Li Ying would most likely be caught off guard.

But now.

As long as Li Ying fights more with Ma Qing and Meng Li in super god state, he will still be able to catch their weaknesses. They have flaws, otherwise, they would not have only 98 points, but 100 points.

Only the table tennis god with a score of 100 has no flaws.
