Chapter 1 Table Tennis Players Professional Panel, Men’s Team Promotion and Relegation Tournament
In 2008, the smoke cleared from the Imperial Capital Olympics.
The Imperial Capital of Xia Kingdom, the exclusive training base for the Xia Kingdom table tennis national team.
Li Ying was lying in the dormitory, with disbelief in his eyes.
"Have I traveled through time? Or it can be said that I have awakened the wisdom of my previous life?"
Li Ying is still the 16-year-old Li Ying, a table tennis player on the second national team, but at this moment, there is an additional memory in his mind of being a table tennis player in a world called "Earth".
Not only that, Goldfinger has also arrived.
Table Tennis Players Professional Panel!
[Name: Li Ying]
[Age: 16 years old]
[Occupation: table tennis player]
[Identity: National Second Team]
[Birthplace: Lingnan]
[Strength: 95.1 (the level of the core main force of the first national team) {Note: The strength of the second national table tennis team of Xia Guo is (85-90), and the first national team (90-100. The core main force of the first team remains above 95 all year round)}]
[Skills: serve, smash, blast, twist, slice, short swing, long split, reverse tear, pick, quick pull, side cut...]
Seeing his own strength score, Li Ying was very clear. At first, Li Ying's score was around 85, but with the fusion of memories from another life, all aspects of table tennis skills, tactics, and awareness of table tennis competitions have been greatly improved.
In addition, Li Ying is also a table tennis genius. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to join the Lingnan Provincial Team at the age of 14 and be selected for the second national team at the age of 16.
"I don't know whether I am Li Ying of Earth or Li Ying of Blue Star, but I am Li Ying, a 16-year-old member of the second national table tennis team of Xia Guo. Today is the promotion and relegation competition between the first and second national teams. Beginning day!”
Suddenly thinking of this, Li Ying hurriedly got up to wash up, took the bag with the table tennis racket, and hurried to the canteen.
Li Ying is alone, because Li Ying was promoted to the second national team for a short time.
In addition, his personality was somewhat withdrawn before, and he did not have that kind of tact and sophistication. He concentrated on practicing football and improving his skills every day. He did not pay attention to social interaction at all and did not participate in the social activities of members of the second team of other countries.
After breakfast, we went to the training hall.
Stepping into the training hall, there are already many pairs of figures playing on each table tennis table.
The long banner read ‘Xia Guo National Table Tennis Team Men’s Team Promotion and Relegation Tournament’.
Among the men's first team, except for the three "Qianlima" who are the absolute core players in the 2008 Imperial Capital Olympic cycle, they will not participate in this kind of round-robin competition. The other first team members need to participate.
In this case, this promotion and relegation tournament will involve fifteen players from the first team and seven players from the second team. In other words, every member of the national table tennis team participating in the round-robin tournament will need to play 21 games.
Li Ying put down the bag and began to warm up silently.
At the same time, he looked at the members of the Blue Star Xia National Table Tennis Team in this parallel world.
The most eye-catching one is naturally the ‘Qianlima’ who is currently the absolute core of the national first team.
Chen Daqian, 30 years old, Mengli, 25 years old, and Ma Qing, 28 years old.
Next to them is Dong Yaobang, the current head coach of the Xia Guo national table tennis men's team.
"Daqian, Ali, Aqing, which two from the second team do you think can make it to the first team this time?"
Although it is a 22-man round-robin tournament, the second team only has a place to be promoted to the first team.
Chen Daqian smiled and said: "I don't know the second team very well. I don't know who among the seven of them is strong and who is weak."
"Head coach, I think Li Ying has a great chance!" Like Li Ying, Ma Qing, who also belongs to the Lingnan Provincial team, is optimistic about Li Ying.
"What I am most concerned about now is who in the first team can achieve good results in this round-robin competition. At present, I am still most optimistic about Liang Long and Kong Fengge. Of course, Xu Guinian's impact is also good." Meng Li from I am from the Bayi Team, so I tend to be a soldier in terms of personality, so answer this question seriously.
Dong Yaobang, the head coach of the men's team, said with a smile: "Ali is right. The 20-year-old Liang Long and Kong Fengge are full of impact. Now we have to prepare for the 2012 Olympics. In this Olympic cycle, they have a lot of potential. Strong impact."
...At 8 o'clock in the morning, the grand round robin officially started.
22 athletes from the national table tennis team competed on 11 tables at the same time.
Li Ying came to table No. 3 and saw his first opponent!
Xu Guinian is 18 years old and has a straight left hand!
Selected into the national first team two years ago.
Warm up begins!
The person sitting behind Xu Guinian is his head coach of the national table tennis team, ‘Qin Yucheng’.
But behind Li Ying, there was no one.
Although the second national team also has coaches, the coaches are now giving guidance to other members of the second team. After all, Li Yingcai had just ranked seventh in the second team trials and was on the last train for promotion and relegation this time.
Moreover, the coach of the second national team does not believe that Li Ying is currently strong enough to impact the first national team.
Therefore, they all place their hopes on those second-team players who have the strength to compete with the first team.
Li Ying's right-hand horizontal board is the mainstream grip in today's international table tennis world.
The warm-up is over and the game officially begins.
In the previous coin guessing, Li Ying won the right to serve first.
In an instant, Li Ying concentrated all his attention on the game.
High throw!
Directly a short backhand triangle ball!
Li Ying’s serve was of very high quality, and Xu Guinian could only choose to serve it short.
But he can't control the height of the ball.
The table tennis ball is placed slightly high.
Li Ying immediately saw the opportunity to attack!
Play on stage!
Change the line directly!
Facing this ball, Xu Guinian could only watch the ball and sigh.
Li Ying took the lead and scored 1 point.
The round robin adopts a best-of-five-game system. After all, if it is a best-of-seven game system, it will be almost difficult for the second team to beat the first team.
"Young man, you were decisive enough!" Xu Guinian did not know Li Ying before, because during this period, the main task of the national table tennis team was to serve the Olympics.
Li Ying was short-lived when he came to the second national team.
Li Ying was completely undisturbed and continued to serve.
This time, Li Ying chose to serve the long ball directly.
Xu Guinian was well prepared and pulled the ball sideways, which was of high quality.
However, he met Li Ying, whose current strength is as high as 95.1. He pushed and blocked, but he scored directly.
This ball is like using softness to overcome hardness. It doesn't look obvious, but it shows an extremely superb ball feel.
Seeing this scene, Chen Daqian smiled at Ma Qing on the side and said, "This ball is as good as yours!"
At this moment, Dong Yaobang, the head coach of the men's team, also set his sights on table No. 3.
Absolute ball feel!
With his knowledge, he can naturally see that Li Ying now has an absolute sense of the ball, which belongs to the field of table tennis super geniuses.
In the national team, even members of the second team are table tennis geniuses.
They are all top talents emerging from all over the country. Only in this way can they cross the provincial team and enter the national team.
