[Ma Long] Dragon and Phoenix Dance

At the beginning of 2019, preparations for the "Twelve Strongest on the Surface" competition, which was once again located in Shenzhen, have begun in full swing. This competition is "Straight to Budapest", one of the three major competitions, the World Table Tennis Championships, the most gold-rich competition in the world competition . (Popular science: 'Olympics' pays the most attention; 'World Cup' is an invitational tournament system, the champions and runners-up of each intercontinental cup (such as the Americas, the strength is weaker), the gold content is slightly lower; the world championship singles has 12 players from each country, and they will play from scratch In the end, 5 games of strong confrontation finally determine the champion, which is very difficult and has high gold content.)

Although Ma Long has not participated in the competition for many months to recover from his knee injury, no one will doubt that he is so powerful that he does not need to play in the budget game and automatically enters the seed position.

The predecessor of "The 12 Strongest on the Surface" is actually the previous team direct match, which provided the players with the opportunity to participate in the World Series. It was not until after the Rio Olympics that the national table tennis became popular that it cooperated with Tencent to have a live broadcast of this event.It has always been hailed as the most difficult game in the world. The participating players are all teammates. They know each other well and know the strengths and weaknesses. There is almost no chance of sweeping, and a rare record of victory. It is not until the fifth inning (there are also seven innings) that the winner can be determined.

Ma Long had followed the team to Shenzhen and took promotional photos, but announced his retirement two days before the start of the competition.

[On the evening of February 2019, 2, the Chinese Table Tennis Team confirmed that Ma Long was still in the recovery period due to a knee injury. He regretted giving up the qualification for the 21-man through match for the strongest 12 players on the surface. Yan An will come off the bench. 】

Yu Su originally planned to bring her one-year-old son to Shenzhen to watch the game live to cheer for her father. Now that Ma Long announced her withdrawal in advance, she came to Shenzhen alone in advance, and the child remained in Beijing.

"Look at your heart itching," Yu Su and Ma Long watched their teammates' games in the live broadcast backstage of the arena. When they saw him frown and nervous, and suddenly became enlightened, they knew that he was using the cloud tactics of his brain to keep up with the players on the field. Teammates have gone through a battle with no beacon.During the intermission, she whispered in Ma Long's ear, "You are better than them."

Ma Long turned his head slightly, looked at Yu Su who was looking up at him, his eyes met, and the two laughed in a tacit understanding, "You have always been biased. In your opinion, there is no one better than me. Someone more powerful."

"Yes." Yu Su took Ma Long's arm, leaned on his shoulder, and answered as a matter of course, "You, invincible."

比赛的强度甚高，队员们每天要上2-3场比赛，一共持续了4天时间，最终女队陈梦以10胜1负夺冠；男队以樊振东11战全胜卫冕夺冠。

When Ma Long participated in the competition for the first time in 2017, he had no choice but to withdraw from the competition due to an injury midway; this time in 2019, he withdrew before the competition due to injuries.

Yu Su could fully feel his regret when he was around, and even saw the envy in his eyes when the audience shouted the name of No.1 Fan Zhendong.

"Long~~ you are the one who is envied." Yu Su looked into his eyes, not consoling, but said to him in a down-to-earth manner, "Everything they are fighting for and fighting for now is just to get what you have already got. You are Malone, as long as you stand on one side of the table, the fear will only belong to them on the other side."

Sad spring and autumn have never belonged to the Chinese table tennis team, they have no time and energy to feel extra emotions.

Ma Long's comeback after an 8-month injury was the Qatar Open. This time he was willing to bring Yu Su along for the first time. He said that although he was not sure about his status, he was always happy to be able to play.

Furthermore...he had a premonition that Yu Su would bring him luck.

"Hello, Mrs. Long~"

"Goodafternoon, Mrs Long!" (It should be MrsMa (Madam Ma), but I think Long is more handsome.)

"Hello, Mrs. Long~"

"Hello~Mrs Long~~"

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Long~~"

"Mrs Long~~ nice to meet you!"

……

After arriving in Qatar, everyone returned to the court to train and prepare for the next game.In order not to disturb Ma Long, Yu Su didn't even enter the arena. He wore headphones on the stone bench outside the court, turned on his laptop, and selected the songs returned by the team.But throughout the afternoon, many athletes from their own country and other countries came back and forth to greet her and say hello to her when they saw her, which made her embarrassed to wear earphones, for fear that they would be neglected because she was not noticed.

"Sister-in-Long~~" Lin Gaoyuan, who has always been a little fan of Ma Long, saw Yu Su waiting outside as soon as he left the stadium, and immediately stepped forward to report Ma Long's whereabouts to her, "The Dragon team is already packing up, and soon It's coming out, just wait a little longer."

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry, I just came here to sit here because I can't stay in the hotel." Yu Su closed the computer, stood up and chatted with Lin Gaoyuan, and asked him with a smile, "Why are you in the team? It's been many years, and I haven't seen you getting fat."

"Why are you fat?"

Yu Su spoke nonsense seriously, "National 'fat' team! Traditional culture, you are the thinnest."

Lin Gaoyuan asked in puzzlement, "But Dragon Team isn't fat either."

"But the dragon team is strong." Yu Su looked up and saw Ma Long walking towards her from the entrance of the arena, and said to Gao Yuan with a smile, "My Ma Long has a good figure, he has flesh when he takes off his clothes, and looks thin when he wears clothes."

"..."

"Don't keep teasing Gao Yuan~~" Ma Long saw Gao Yuan blushing and shy for no reason, and he didn't need to hear the content to guess that Yu Su was teasing him again. He walked to his wife and held hands, encouraging Gao Yuan, "Competition Play hard, Fan Zhendong and Xu Xin are not here, we will defend the upper and lower divisions, and fight for the final!"

Lin Gaoyuan has always admired Ma Long's self-confidence, and he immediately forgot the embarrassment just now when he got the encouragement and request, and his blood boiled immediately, "Good dragon team, I will definitely work hard!!"

After chatting for another two or three sentences, Gao Yuan trotted away very sensiblely, letting the couple take a quiet walk and chat alone for a while.

"Be bored."

Yu Su shook her head, "It's not boring, where is it not work? The space here is open, much more comfortable than in the room."

"Am I being a little selfish? You just landed after you came back from New York, and I took you directly from the airport to Qatar." Ma Long took her hand to his lips and kissed the back of her hand, "I haven't returned home yet, I haven't seen my son for a week, will you blame me?"

"Mr. Ma Long, are you stupid? Why would you say such things to me?" Yu Su couldn't help grinning, completely ignoring Ma Long's 'seriousness', "It's great if we come together, no need I was hiding in hiding for fear of being discovered by you. Besides, you don’t think that if you don’t bring me here, I won’t come by myself? The Chinese captain’s 8-month comeback battle, you think it’s possible for me absent?"

//

As expected, the opponents in the Qatar final were Ma Long and Lin Gaoyuan. The intensity of the competition for a few days made Ma Long stubble and look a little haggard.

Lin Gaoyuan's recent performance has improved very quickly. Although he lost to Japanese Chinese Zhang Benzhi in the finals at the end of the year, there is no doubt that he has already ranked among the top five in the national table tennis men's team by virtue of his strength. .

Having said that, in Yu Su's opinion, as long as Ma Long is on the court, she has full confidence in him!Even if she is nervous and her heart beats faster, it will definitely not affect her firm belief.

Liu Guoliang and Qin Zhijian always joked about Yu Su, saying that she is Ma Long's most loyal fan!Obviously not very good at watching football. Before meeting Ma Long, he couldn't even hold a table tennis racket, but he just fell into a pit and couldn't get out.Of course... that pit is not a ping pong ball, but a ping pong ball with Ma Long.

"what!!!!!!"

Malone's last beautiful straight back pull ended the game!

He defeated Lin Gaoyuan with a big score of 4:2, won the Qatar Open in 2019, and used his strength to announce to the world that he is back as the king!

The big screen at the scene was naughtily divided into two.

One side is Ma Long who won the championship; the other half is Mrs. Ma Long sitting in the first row of the audience excitedly standing up and looking at the arena!

Ma Long, who was supposed to be interviewed, was running quickly towards the auditorium, and didn't stop until he stood in front of Yu Su.

Yu Su couldn't wait to congratulate her husband who had just won the championship, her bright smile was as dazzling as the sun, "Congratulations, Dragon Team."

"Interview with you." This was the first time Ma Long walked up to Yu Su at the Guangzheng Competition. After the photographers on the scene realized it, they swarmed behind him in an instant, "Your husband won the championship, are you proud?"

Yu Su looked at Ma Long dressed in red, like an angry horse in fresh clothes, standing upright in front of her and asking her questions, she approached him without any scruples, opened her arms and hugged him tightly, and shouted, "Proud! !"
