Chapter 18: The exciting men's team competition, the battle for the main players of the national table tennis team
After giving clear instructions, Li Ying immediately plunged into intense training.
Li Ying's main training areas are men's doubles and mixed doubles.
Time is tight and tasks are heavy.
Today is the 9th, and on the 15th the Lingnan Provincial Table Tennis Team will set off for the provincial port city of Jiangning to participate in the national championships.
Li Ying trained men's doubles with Ma Qing in the morning and mixed doubles with Wang Xianlan in the afternoon.
In the evening, Li Ying has to practice more.
Every day, the training subjects are fully scheduled.
Of course, at this time, table tennis teams from all over the country are preparing for the national championships.
12 number.
The men's doubles cooperation between Li Ying and Ma Qing has reached the point where they no longer need intensive training. Many times, they can understand each other's intentions with just a glance or a small gesture.
On the contrary, the training of mixed doubles, Li Ying and Wang Xianlan, was full of bumps.
It’s not that Wang Xianlan didn’t work hard, but that Wang Xianlan focused her main energy on women’s singles and women’s team.
As for the mixed doubles, the Lingnan provincial team actually did not have high hopes for Li Ying and Wang Xianlan.
This will lead to the gradual compression of mixed doubles training time.
Time passed quickly during the arduous training, and soon it was the 15th.
The Lingnan provincial team set out on a special chartered flight to the port city.
In this regard, Lingnan Province is naturally wealthy and will not treat the provincial table tennis team unfairly.
at the same time.
In the land of Xia Country, the national championship has already begun to be promoted, and it is becoming more and more popular as the competition date approaches.
Arriving in the port city, we went directly to the hotel that we had booked in advance.
Athletes don’t need to worry about any logistics, as the staff of the Lingnan provincial team will naturally take care of it.
Eating is training.
At this moment, teams from all over the country arrived in the port city.
Suddenly, the stadium hosting this national championship was bustling with activity.
Monri!
Chen Daqian!
Diplodocus!
Kong Fengge!
Su Yan!
Dou Yang!
Willow more!
Xu Guinian!
A group of male table tennis players from the national table tennis team arrived.
However, in terms of popularity, they cannot compare to the women's team!
After all, the men's team of the Xiaguo national table tennis team has never won a Grand Slam!
But it’s different for the women’s team.
Therefore, the women's team is even more star-studded.
But at this moment, Li Ying suddenly heard a piece of gossip.
"Brother Ma, I heard that in this national championship men's team competition, Kong Fengge will be on the same team as Meng Li?" Li Ying asked curiously.
Although Meng Li and Kong Fengge are teammates in the national team, their table tennis athlete registration units are completely different.
"It is said that Kong Fengge went to Mengli's unit for exchanges, and this year Kong Fengge will represent the Bayi team to participate in the men's team competition!" Ma Qing had a blank expression.
It is clear.
The Bayi team, which now has Meng Li and Kong Fengge, has become the strongest obstacle for the Lingnan team to win the men's team championship.
The Bayi team was already very strong, and now with the addition of Kong Fengge, the impact is simply overwhelming.
"Is this possible?" Li Ying asked in surprise.
"What? Kong Fengge went to the Bayi team. Are you afraid?" Ma Qing looked at Li Ying and said with a provocative smile.
Li Ying smiled slightly, "Kong Fengge, I'm not afraid. I'm just afraid that you can't suppress Meng Li!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Ma Qing immediately became furious.
"What are you talking about? I just defeated Monli in the men's singles final at the Olympics."
Li Ying said faintly: "But now we have to use inorganic glue, Brother Ma, your strength will be seriously reduced. Anyway, I will deal with Kong Fengge, I don't want you to lose to Meng Li!"
Ma Qing was provoked by Li Ying, "Don't worry, it's impossible for Mengli to defeat me in a short time. I won't talk nonsense anymore. I'm going to practice more men's doubles cooperation with Xue Jian!"
Ma Qing knew that if they really encountered the Bayi team in the men's team competition, no matter whether Li Ying played against Mengli or Kong Fengge, Ma Qing would have to deal with the other one.
But if he loses the singles, then he must take out an insurance policy for the doubles.
of course.
From the outside, the real focus of the men's team competition is the Bayi team vs. the Magic City team.
As for the Lingnan team, we can only say that they are full of drive.
But the Bayi team is aiming to defend the title this year.
Because the men's team champion of last year's national championship was the Bayi team.
16 number.
The draw for the men's team competition has begun.
The men's team competition is divided into eight groups: ABCDEFGH.
The first stage is for each group to compete for the top spot.
Because only the group leader can participate in the second stage of the men's team.
Finally, the draw results came out very quickly.
The Bayi team is in Group A, the Shanghai team is in Group E, and the Lingnan team is in Group F.
17 number.
The first stage of the men's team competition officially begins.
The round-robin matches of each group will start at the same time.
In other words, in Group F, Lingnan team will play three games.
of course.
The other three teams in the same group as Lingnan team are not very strong.
Times of Day.
The Lingnan team has just finished three group matches.
And every game was swept 3:0.
Li Ying played first in singles, followed by Ma Qing in second singles, and then the men's doubles of Lingnan team.
of course.
Other strong domestic teams have also stood out.
finally.
The team that advanced to the men's group quarterfinals has just been announced.
The Bayi team led by Meng Li and Kong Fengge.
The Shanghai team led by Chen Daqian and Xu Guinian.
The Lingnan team led by Ma Qing and Li Ying.
The Imperial Capital team led by Liang Long!
At present, in the men's team competition, the four strongest teams are still Didu, Modu, Bayi and Lingnan, because they gather the main players of the current national table tennis team.
Because this national championship is related to next year's National Games.
Therefore, the national table tennis team will field all its main players.
18 number.
After the quarter-finals.
The four teams that made it to the semi-finals are Bayi, Didu, Modu and Lingnan.
and.
The men's team semi-final match schedule has also been released.
Bayi VS Magic City!
Lingnan vs Imperial Capital!
In this case, it means Meng Li and Kong Fengge VS Chen Daqian and Xu Guinian.
Ma Qing, Li Ying VS Liang Long!
It can be said.
Every match in the semi-finals was very exciting.
at this time.
Table tennis enthusiasts across the country are paying attention to the national championships.
"Fuck, Lingnan is fighting the Imperial Capital, isn't this a guaranteed shot to Lingnan?"
"Although Liang Long is strong, even if he is a dragon, how can he resist Lingnan who is as fierce as a wolf and a tiger!"
"That's right, Lingnan is simply too strong. They won every game 3:0, unlike Bayi and Shanghai, which both won 3:1 or 3:2."
"From this perspective, Lingnan has a high chance of entering the men's team finals. I just don't know who will win between Bayi and Shanghai!"
"Of course it's Bayi. Bayi has Mengli and Kong Fengge. In the national team, Mengli is five years younger than Chen Daqian. And Kong Fengge is two years older than Xu Guinian. In a one-on-one match, Mengli will definitely beat Chen Daqian, and Kong Fengge will beat Xu Guinian!"
"I am more looking forward to the men's doubles. Meng Li and Kong Fengge also form a men's doubles team. Chen Daqian and Xu Guinian are also in the men's doubles. I heard that the men's doubles team registered by Lingnan are Li Ying and Ma Qing."
"From this perspective, the men's team final should be between Bayi and Lingnan. By then, I don't know whether Bayi will successfully defend the title or Lingnan will become the new champion of the men's team!"
Although it is currently a team competition.
But in fact, the focus of the confrontation is still the main players of the national table tennis team.
In that case, it can also be regarded as a ranking for the main players of the national table tennis team.
At this time, everyone could realize that the horse had suffered a serious blow!
Unlike before the Imperial Capital Olympics, Qianlima was the undisputed core player.
But it seems that since Li Ying joined the national table tennis team, he has joined hands with the dragon, phoenix and turtle to start seizing power from the thousand-mile horse.
The position of the core players will probably have a preliminary conclusion after this national championship.
In this case, Qianlima will be under a lot of pressure.
Of course, it was mainly Ma Qing and Chen Daqian who were under great pressure.
At present, Monri is at the peak age of 25, and it seems that the core main force can still be retained.
Because the core force is not just one, there are at least three.
To judge who the core players are, we need to look at the candidates who will compete in the men's team in the world championships.
Whoever goes into battle will be the core force.
at this time.
The highly anticipated men's group semi-finals begins!
Although the probability is that Bayi will play against Lingnan!
But the Magic City and the Imperial Capital don't want to admit it.
