"'Invincible Kirin' Li Ying's career and invincible years, how long will they last? 》
After Li Ying defended his title, news media around the world paid attention to Li Ying.
Although.
Globally, table tennis is not a very popular sport, far behind football and basketball.
but.
Li Ying has become a phenomenal player in the international table tennis world.
All this.
It's all because of Li Ying's invincibility.
Although Li Ying is in the Table Tennis Super League, he has already lost to Kong Fengge in singles.
but.
ITTF does not approve.
because.
The rules followed by the Table Tennis Super League are not the rules of the ITTF.
so.
The international table tennis circles all believe that Li Ying remains undefeated so far.
This is just like Li Ying's previous defeat in the team competition.
Among these team competitions, one is the commercial star competition, and the other is the Table Tennis Super League.
They are not authentic intercontinental competitions or team competitions in the World Series.
Li Ying has never lost in the team competitions of these competitions.
Including national championships and national games.
After winning the championship.
The National Table Tennis Team set out to return to China.
At the Imperial Capital International Airport, fans who came to pick them up surrounded the international airport.
final.
The national table tennis team was delayed at the international airport for a long time before they were able to escape.
In the Xia Kingdom.
Table tennis has undoubtedly become the number one sport.
because.
As for Xia Guo’s domestic football, that goes without saying.
The table tennis team is invincible in the world.
As for the football team, they are also invincible in the world.
Today.
The rise of table tennis superstars represented by Li Ying and the dominance of the dragon, phoenix and turtle in the sports circle have brought countless traffic to the sport of table tennis.
Li Ying's home.
Wang Xianlan complained: "Xiaoying, your men's team is so happy."
Li Ying understood immediately.
What did Wang Xianlan say?
According to the regulations, the top four men's and women's teams in the 2012 National Table Tennis Championships will be directly qualified to participate in the finals of the 12th National Games team competition.
And last year’s national championship.
Under the leadership of Li Ying, Lingnan has always dominated the men's team championship.
but.
The Lingnan women's team, led by Wang Xianlan, was not so lucky.
In this case.
Wang Xianlan needs to lead the Lingnan women's team in the qualifiers.
soon.
Li Ying accompanied Wang Xianlan to Changjiang.
The table tennis team preliminaries of the 12th National Games ended in Changjiang on the morning of June 3. The men's and women's teams of Lucun, led by two world champions Zhang Kongfengge and Ji Chuanxia, both successfully qualified for the finals.
Although Wei Laixing of the Lingnan women's team achieved a complete personal victory, the overall strength was not strong and they still failed to qualify.
but.
Qualifiers are still taking place.
The mixed doubles has already produced 16 groups of places for the finals. The Bayi team became the biggest winner. Four pairs including the mixed doubles combination led by Mengli advanced.
Of course, strong players such as Liang Long/Qiao Yuning and Li Ying/Wang Xianlan all advanced.
In the mixed doubles competition, the national team is full of strong players.
Li Ying, Liang Long, Meng Li, Xu Guinian, Lin Wangyuan, Zhou Yu, Ma Qing and other famous national table tennis players are all paired with female athletes to form mixed doubles.
The table tennis preliminaries of the 12th National Games continued on June 6. In the men's doubles, 16 pairs of players advanced to the finals.
Moreover, in the men's doubles competition, it is really called a gathering of strong players.
Li Ying/Lin Wangyuan and Ma Qing/Yu Xuejian, the Lingnan Provincial team alone, form two pairs of men's doubles.
Meng Li/Su Yan, Liang Long/Yan An, Kong Fengge/Fang Bo, etc. also joined forces.
besides.
There are also Zhao Dongyuan, Qian Zhongtian and Sun Guanqing, who all led the men's doubles with famous stars from Xiangjiang, Haojiang and Baodao respectively.
It can be said.
The men's doubles at this year's National Games is also very exciting.
After playing the qualifiers in Changjiang.
Li Ying rushed to the imperial capital without stopping.
because.
For the 2013 Table Tennis Super League season, a press conference was held in the Imperial Capital.
Then.
Li Ying and Wang Xianlan rushed to the northeast.
because.
This year's Xiaguo Open begins in Northeast Spring City.
As for the Xiaguo Open, Li Ying will participate no matter what.
after all.
This is a way to give back to the fans who support us.
Many fans came to Spring City to support.
Li Ying was extremely moved.
And this time at the Xiaguo Open, Xiaguo National Table Tennis Team and German National Table Tennis Team formed a multinational men's doubles team.
in.
Tim is paired with Diplodocus, and Dimitri is paired with Yan An.
Of course, Kong Fengge and Meng Li also paired up with German players in men's doubles.
But it's obvious.
Their teammates are not strong.
Anyway, most people think that the final men's doubles final will be Diplodocus/Tim VS Dimitri/Yan An.
However, the game has not yet started, and it is still unclear who will win.
As for Xia Guoping, they sent six men's singles tigers to compete in the men's singles.
Linlong, phoenix and turtle!
Monri!
Yan An!
After Ma Qing gradually faded out of the national team, Yan An stood out among the three young players in 92. From the current look, he is more trusted by the national table tennis coaching staff.
At the very least.
For example, Fang Bo and Zhou Yu receive more attention from the Xia Guoping coaching staff.
certainly.
Yan An himself also fought.
For example, in this year's World Table Tennis Championships, Yan An is the only one among the three young men in 92 who has qualified for the World Table Tennis Championships
.
Neither Fang Bo nor Zhou Yu qualified for singles.
Spring City.
Every time Li Ying makes a public appearance or appearance, he attracts the attention of die-hard fans!
This is equivalent to a big gathering of Li Ying’s die-hard fans.
certainly.
It can be regarded as coming to Spring City to escape the summer heat.
As for the Xiaguo Open, it will start step by step!
The 2013 ITTF Xiaguo Open entered the second round of the men's singles competition in Spring City on June 15. World champion Kong Fengge retired in the men's singles 16-8 match.
The remaining three Xia Guo men's singles entered the quarterfinals.
Three transnational men's doubles teams advanced to the semi-finals. Today's focus battle is undoubtedly the contest between young players Yan An and Kong Fengge.
In the World Table Tennis Championships in Paris, although Yan An lost 0-4, people saw his newborn murderous spirit.
In this game, Kong Fengge won the first game 11-7, then changed places to fight again, and Yan An took the lead in two consecutive games 11-6, 11-5.
In the fourth game, Kong Fengge won again 11-6, but then he had no choice but to withdraw from the game due to a shoulder injury. Yan An won 4-2 to advance.
In this case.
The top eight are freshly announced.
Li Ying, Liang Long, Meng Li, Yan An, Tim, Dimitri, Zhao Dongyuan, Sun Guanqing.
night.
before resting.
Li Ying and Wang Xianlan talked on the phone.
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
"Compared to our men's singles, your women's singles are still stronger. Once again, you won the semi-finals without any suspense. You, Ji Chuanxia, Qiao Yuning, and Xu Mingyue are all participating, so how can other players survive?"
Li Ying teased Wang Xianlan.
Wang Xianlan smiled and said: "Xiaoying, speaking of which, you men's singles are also likely to win the top four."
Li Ying smiled and said: "I think the possibility is unlikely."
"I have to play Xu Mingyue in the semi-finals, and then if I can reach the final, I have to face the winner between Sister Xia and Sister Ning. The women's singles championship at the Xiaguo Open this time is not easy to win. Because I feel This time, Sister Xia is here to win the Xiaguo Open Women’s Singles Championship!” Wang Xianlan said with a smile.
Li Ying smiled and said nothing.
Ji Chuanxia was deprived of her luck by Wang Xianlan.
Logically speaking, it should be Ji Chuanxia who won the World Table Tennis Championships in Paris this year and became a new Grand Slam player.
but.
Wang Xianlan achieved a Grand Slam in the 2012 Rio Olympics.
So.
In this life, Blue Star, Ji Chuanxia's achievements are naturally not as dazzling as Li Ying's previous life.
That being the case.
The pair of champions are naturally extremely eager.
"It's okay, the soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth. Who knows, I will also be defeated in the Xiaguo Open this time?" Li Ying said with a smile.
Hearing Li Ying mocking himself like this, Wang Xianlan suddenly became anxious.
"I would rather I lose than I don't want to see you lose!" Wang Xianlan really thought about Li Ying.
"I have been thoroughly studied now, especially since I have defended my title at the World Table Tennis Championships in Paris. I have won the men's singles title three times in a row at the World Table Tennis Championships. In this case, both foreign and domestic superstars will definitely focus on studying it!" Li Yingxiao road.
Having said that, Li Ying is fearless.
Because no matter how much research is done, the outcome will ultimately be determined by competition.
On the evening of June 15th.
The men's singles quarter-finals of the 2013 ITTF Summer Open were held.
That is eight into four.
The match between Monri and German player Thiem was a focus battle. The two were in a stalemate at the beginning. After 10 and 11 draws, Thiem seized the opportunity to score two points in a row to win 13-11.
But the rest of the game was completely controlled by Mongli. 11-2, 11-9, 11-6, 11-2, he won four consecutive games and won 4-1.

In this way, Li Ying won 4-0 and advanced.
It is worth mentioning that Li Ying’s opponent in the previous round also retired due to injury, and Li Ying won without a fight.
The focus of the second half is Diplodocus vs. Dimitri.
Whether Dimitri can break the curse is attracting global attention.
Diplodocus was a little slow to enter the state in the first game, but Dimitri led all the way and won 11-4.
Fighting again in another place, Diplodocus regained the victory 11-7.
Dimitri won again 11-5 in the third game, leading the total score 2-1.
Falling behind, Diplodocus began to fight back, winning three consecutive games 11-3, 11-6, 11-6 to win 4-2.
In another game, Yan An faced last year's World Cup champion Sun Guanqing.
Everyone thought that Sun Guanqing would definitely be able to defeat Yan An.
But Yan An just took such a breath.
He performed even better in the civil war, sweeping Sun Guanqing in four straight games 11-5, 11-9, 13-11, 11-7 to advance.
It can be said.
This result.
No one thought about it before the game.
In this case.
Xia Guo men’s table tennis is just like women’s table tennis.
Won the top four.
In this case.
Xia Guoming’s men’s table tennis team locked up the championship and runner-up in advance.
but.
For the German players, the game is not over yet.
Both seats in the men's doubles final were taken by the Shard multinational team.
Dimitri/Yan An won 3-1 (11-7, 7-11, 11-6, 11-5) in the battle with their opponents.
In another semi-final, the men's doubles combination led by Thiem/Diplodocus and Mengli started a fierce battle and fell behind 0-2 at one point.
but.
Tim and Diplodocus fought back and won three consecutive games 3-2 (13-15, 12-14, 11-5, 11-9, 11-9).
In the final, Dimitri/Yan An will compete with Tim/Diplodocus for the men's doubles championship.
And before the men's singles semifinals.
Li Ying was ridiculed by Wang Xianlan.
"Huh, yesterday we were still saying that our female table tennis players swept the top four, but today you male table tennis players also swept the top four!" Wang Xianlan said charmingly.
The 2013 ITTF Xiaguo Open Spring City Station entered the final competition day on June 16.
The top four women's singles were taken by Xia Guo players Wang Xianlan, Ji Chuanxia, Qiao Yuning and Xu Mingyue.
The first semi-final was between Qiao Yuning and Ji Chuanxia. This game can be called the most watched women's singles contest in this tournament.

In this game, the two played extremely stalemate. After the first 4 games tied at 2, they tied again at 3, dragging the game into the deciding game. In the deciding game, Ji Chuanxia once led 7-3, but Qiao Yuning then scored five points in a row to overtake the score.

In the final, Ji Chuanxia was still strong. Facing her old rival Wang Xianlan who had just won the World Table Tennis Championships in Paris, she defeated Wang Xianlan 4-1 (11-8, 11-9, 11-4, 4-11, 11-5) to win the championship. , Wang Xianlan won the runner-up.

Having two games in hand allowed Diplodocus to play more relaxedly. He showed more ease in the third game, quickly leading 8-1, and quickly won this game 11-2, expanding the total score to 3-0.
Falling behind 0-3, Li Ying had no way out. In contrast, Diplodocus was even stronger. The two sides fought to a draw many times in this game, but when it came to the critical ball, Diplodocus was even better, winning 11-11. 8 sealed the victory, thus defeating Li Ying 4-0 and winning the men's singles crown in this competition.
When the Xiaguo Open ended, no one expected that Diplodocus would sweep Li Ying 4-0 to win the championship.
Li Ying finally won a runner-up in his career.
And today's performance of Diplodocus was undoubtedly superb.
At the end of the game, Diplodocus himself couldn't believe it.
This time.
Li Ying took the initiative to step forward.
"Brother Long, don't be stunned, you won the Open Championship!" Li Ying blessed with a smile.
Li Ying smiled calmly at this moment, and he didn't feel like a failure at all!
There is no shame in losing to Diplodocus.
Diplodocus woke up from a dream.
At this moment, he still couldn't believe it.
Because happiness often comes too suddenly.
Liang Long is already ready. Li Ying will definitely fight back after falling behind 0-3.
But.
He really swept Li Ying with a score of 4-0 and won the championship of this Xiaguo Open!
When Li Ying shook hands with Qin Yucheng, Li Ying could clearly feel that Qin Yucheng let out a sigh of relief.
Finally, Li Ying returned to Chen Daqian.
"Ah Ying, it's okay. It's just a small open competition. It's normal to lose and win in a competition!" Chen Daqian quickly comforted and encouraged.
But he saw that Li Ying seemed not to be affected at all.
