Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 78 Wang Xianlan's Grand Slam Dream, Ninth Max Skill 'Chopping'

and so.

In order to achieve the Grand Slam, one must do his best to compete for the singles championship from the first time he participates in the World Table Tennis Championships.

if not.

For Wang Xianlan, her skills are not absolutely top-notch among female table tennis players, so sometimes luck becomes particularly important.

Because strictly speaking, the strength gap among the female table tennis players is not that big.

Not like men's table tennis.

Sometimes, you can feel a very obvious gap in strength.

This is the cruelty of table tennis.

Sometimes, in order to achieve your own dreams, you have to crush the dreams of others.

It seems that sometimes, fate is not on our side.

But in the final analysis, it’s because of lack of strength.

Li Ying knew that Wang Xianlan had always had a dream of winning the Grand Slam.

It can be said.

This dream supports her to become a professional.

Wang Xianlan began to recount the interesting things that happened on the women's table tennis team, while Li Ying told gossip about the men's team.

I walked around the playground twice before returning to the dormitory.

"Brother Qian, why don't you go back and spend some time with your family during this time. Besides, I will be alone at the German Open. You should focus on your family now."

Li Ying advised.

Chen Daqian was touched, but still shook his head slightly.

"Aying, I must not relax before the 12 London Olympics. Also, you don't have to worry about my family. They are living well in Shanghai. The most urgent task is to take care of your training." Chen Daqian said with a smile.

Since Chen Daqian said so, Li Ying did not try to persuade him any further.

"Then Brother Qian, I will take a rest."

Li Ying quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Deep sleep can quickly restore the body.

I slept soundly.

During training, table tennis team leader Qiu Yue came to find Li Ying.

"Leader, are you looking for me?"

When Li Ying saw Qiu Yue waving at him, he hurriedly trotted over to Qiu Yue.

"Aying, some media want to interview you. In addition, many companies have sent letters to the Table Tennis Association, hoping to negotiate commercial endorsements with you." Qiu Yue chuckled.

Through these companies, Qiu Yue fully knows that Li Ying is definitely a rising star in the current national table tennis team.

because.

The amounts of these commercial endorsement contracts, even those that are preliminary letters of intent, are staggering.

If Li Ying agrees, the initial profit will be at least tens of millions.

The Chinese national table tennis team also gets a share of the profits.

and so.

As the leader of the table tennis team, Qiu Yue would come to find Li Ying.

"Team leader, all media interviews should be postponed to after the World Table Tennis Championships. There is no need to talk about commercial endorsements now. I am still a minor, not even 18 years old."

Li Ying is very clear that his biggest task at the moment is to strive hard to win the men's singles title at the World Table Tennis Championships, so he turned down all media interviews and commercial endorsements.

"Are you really pushing them all away?" Qiu Yue still didn't believe it and asked again to confirm.

"Captain, I still have to go to training."

After Li Ying finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.

Qiu Yue looked at Li Ying's back, shook his head and smiled.

Back at the table, Chen Daqian asked curiously, "Ah Ying, what does the team leader want you to do?"

"I turned down all media interviews and commercial endorsements. And before the World Table Tennis Championships, I will not accept any media interviews."

Li Ying is very rational. In order to achieve good results in commercial endorsements, one must be an adult and have fully independent civil capacity to sign a contract.

As for media interviews, the media that invite us for interviews now are all small media.

Don't pay any attention to it.

"Aying, you are really smart!"

Chen Daqian exclaimed with admiration.

Most team members really can't resist the temptation of fame and fortune.

But Li Ying was always sober.

"Brother Qian, it's too early for me to talk about this now. After all, I haven't won a heavyweight men's singles championship title to prove myself."

"Moreover, I also know that many people are waiting to laugh at me. Being smart when you are young does not necessarily mean you will be great when you grow up. I naturally don't want to be a late bloomer, I just want to make courageous breakthroughs." Li Ying said with a smile.

Chen Daqian nodded slightly.

Li Ying continued training.

Although the training days were boring, I could take a walk and chat with Wang Xianlan every night.

In addition, during training, I can feel the improvement and enhancement of my strength all the time.

Li Ying thought it was all okay.

that's it.

The Serbia Open is coming.

The national table tennis team had lost a large number of players, so only Li Ying, Meng Li and Ma Qing were left as the main players. Li Ying could no longer walk and chat with Wang Xianlan every day, because Wang Xianlan was also going to participate in the Serbia Open.

after all.

There is no need to return home after the Serbia Open.

Fly directly to Germany.

The German Open will be held from March 3 to March 19.

Li Ying will participate in the German Open.

Not only Li Ying, but also Meng Li and Ma Qing will participate.

Not only because the German Open has a great influence, but mainly because the German Open is the last open tournament before the World Table Tennis Championships in Yokohama.

Meng Li and Ma Qing both want to practice through competition.

I don't ask for good results, I just ask to maintain a good state.

and so.

The huge training base is mainly used by members of the second team for training.

"Aying, the next training will focus on strengthening your weak skills."

Chen Daqian said in a deep voice.

"Brother Qian, what skill do you think is my weakest?" Li Ying was very curious.

I feel like I have absolutely no weak skills.

after all.

The score of any skill is above 97.

"Cut the ball!"

Chen Daqian said in a deep voice.

"I've never seen you play slice in competition, and slice is very spin-intensive. If you improve your slice, you can understand spin better."

Li Ying nodded heavily.

"Not only that, although you are not a professional slicer. But in fact, slice is very useful in the game."

"First of all, from a defensive perspective, there are two main functions. First, slicing is an effective defensive technique. By slicing the bottom of the ball, it can produce a strong backspin on the ball, with a relatively slow speed and a deeper landing point. This allows the player to return the ball steadily when facing a strong attack from the opponent, thereby increasing the number of rounds in the game."

"For example, in high-level table tennis competitions, when the opponent launches a fierce offensive, the chopping player can use his superb chopping skills to resolve the opponent's attack, making the ball bounce back and forth on the table, giving himself time to adjust tactics and rhythm."

"Second, the rhythm of the slice is significantly different from other strokes. Its unique movements and slower ball speed can disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm."

"For example, if an opponent is used to a fast-paced attack and suddenly faces a chopper's chop, he or she needs to adjust the timing and strength of the shot, which may cause the opponent to make mistakes. In some key matches, this change in rhythm can often turn the situation in a direction that is favorable to the chopper."

At this moment, Dong Yaobang came to Li Ying and Chen Daqian.

"Aying, your table tennis skills have always been based on offense. But when necessary, you have to defend. Defense in table tennis is also very important."

Men's team head coach Dong Yaobang smiled and said, "You must have heard the saying that in the NBA, offense wins games and defense wins championships, but in fact, this saying is widely recognized in many sports events. Table tennis is no exception."

Li Ying nodded, not quite understanding.

after all.

Li Ying has always focused on offense.

Only when facing the super gods Mengli and Ma Qing would he tend to be more defensive, delaying the game time to consume their physical strength, thus laying the foundation for himself to win the final game.

Chen Daqian continued: "Let's talk about the offensive advantages of slice. First, slice is not just a passive defensive method, it can also create opportunities for offense."

"When a chopper hits the ball with different spins and landing points, causing the opponent to make mistakes or return the ball of poor quality, the chopper can quickly seize the opportunity and launch a counterattack."

"For example, during the slice process, you can suddenly increase the force to slice a ball with a tricky landing point, making it difficult for the opponent to return to his position, and then immediately launch an attack, thus achieving a transition from defense to offense."

Dong Yaobang also likes to teach others, and continued: "Second, because the slice is usually regarded as a defensive technique in the game, the opponent will often relax his vigilance against the slice attack when attacking."

"At this time, the slicer can take advantage of this and occasionally launch a sudden attack to catch the opponent off guard. For example, in the process of continuous slices, suddenly exert force to hit a fast topspin ball. This unexpected attack method can often achieve unexpected results."

Dong Yaobang concluded: "In the tactical system of table tennis, slice is an indispensable component. It can be combined with other hitting techniques to form a diverse tactical combination."

"For example, a chopping player can use a combination of chopping and attacking tactics in a game, sometimes chopping to defend, sometimes launching an attack, making it difficult for the opponent to predict. This tactical diversity can increase the player's competitiveness in the game and adapt to the needs of different opponents and different game scenarios."

After they finished speaking, Li Ying suddenly remembered Xu Guinian's unique skill of penetrating shot. That kind of rotation and arc were exactly like a slice shot.

Listen to others and eat enough.

In an instant.

Li Ying immediately received the professional panel reward of the Qatar Open Men's Singles Champion, which instantly improved the level of his chopping skills.

All of a sudden.

Li Ying now has one more maximum-level skill.

Li Ying looked at his maximum level skills.

[Full-level skills: Overlord twist, lob, counter-pull, short swing, side cut, serve and attack, star step, change of line, slice]

There are nine full-level skills, which is equivalent to mastering nine unique moves.

Li Ying couldn't help but feel happy. If one day he could master all the skills of table tennis, would he be able to become the legendary table tennis god?
Just as basketball has its own God of Basketball, table tennis has yet to produce a GOAT player.

And Lee wins.

I want to become the GOAT of table tennis!

Then, Li Ying started to practice cutting the ball.

The progress is particularly obvious.

This surprised Dong Yaobang and Chen Daqian greatly.

at the same time.

In their hearts, they mourned for the Dragon, Phoenix, Turtle and the Three Young Masters of 92, who were contemporaries of Li Ying.

Li Ying has such a superb basketball IQ and learns table tennis skills so quickly. I'm afraid that Longfenggui and 92 San Shao will be suppressed by Li Ying for the rest of their lives.
