Chapter 23 Won the National Championship Mixed Doubles Championship 11 month 22 number. 19:00 in the evening. The mixed doubles semi-finals have been decided and the mixed doubles semi-finals are about to begin. Li Ying/Wang Xianlan! Mengli/Shu Yuai! Su Yan/Wen Luyan! Liang Long/Xu Mingyue! These are the final four teams that emerged from 128 mixed doubles pairs, and they are all the only teams that have made it out of their respective competition areas. At this moment. Because Li Ying/Wang Xianlan both belong to the Lingnan team, there is only Meng Enming as an off-court coach. Some groups, which are not from the same province or unit, have two off-field coaches. Li Ying saw Wang Xianlan exhaling gently towards the racket. Because it was already November and soon December, the weather had become a little cold even in the south. Then, Wang Xianlan jumped around on the spot to warm up.
But she saw that Li Ying did not warm up and just stood there. "Li Ying, aren't you going to warm up? Why? Are you afraid that you'll get hungry again if you warm up too much?" These days, Li Ying has gone to the cafeteria many times to get food. The reputation of 'Li Ying is a foodie' is known throughout the base. Plus, Li Ying is very famous at the moment. The men's team helped the Lingnan team win the championship. Now the men's singles, men's doubles and even mixed doubles are all making great progress. In short. Even in the Xia country's national table tennis team, which is full of talented people, there has never been a young talent as strong as Li Ying. "That's right. We have to play the mixed doubles semi-finals and the mixed doubles finals tonight. But you are lucky because you don't have to play in the women's singles tonight. Otherwise, you would have to play all night, and I'm worried whether you can hold on physically!" Li Ying said with a smile. "I can do it. I've been strengthening my physical training!" Wang Xianlan encouraged herself. at the same time. Even though the mixed doubles pair on the opposite side were warming up, their eyes were always on Li Ying. Shu Yuai glanced at Meng Li beside her, then looked at Li Ying and Wang Xianlan who looked like a perfect match opposite her. "Brother Meng, don't worry, I will try my best not to hold you back!" Shu Yuai said with a smile. Shu Yuai is also a member of the women's table tennis team, and her strength should not be underestimated. "No, I don't mean that." Meng Li didn't want Shu Yuai to be involved in his duel with Li Ying. Since even he can't beat Li Ying, he shouldn't even think about relying on Shu Yuai. only. It's a mixed doubles competition, not a men's singles competition. An interesting point is that mixed doubles competition depends on cooperation. Before the war.
Meng Enming summoned Li Ying and Wang Xianlan. "You all know the specific tactics. Just follow the established tactics, Xianlan. No matter you are leading or lagging behind, you must stay calm. Just follow Li Ying's rhythm. I believe you will definitely make it to the mixed doubles finals!" Meng Enming found that there was nothing to explain. Because Li Ying has nothing to worry about. That's the case. Then let Li Ying and Wang Xianlan give it a try. At this moment. The pool table next door. The other two mixed doubles pairs were also competing fiercely. only. They were not able to get the live broadcast of Channel C. Soon, the game officially started. "Good evening, audience friends. Now we are bringing you the mixed doubles semi-finals. We will see two mixed doubles pairs, Li Ying and Wang Xianlan versus Meng Li and Shu Yuai. All four players are from the first team of the national table tennis team. They will definitely bring us a mixed doubles table tennis feast!" "That's right. Because mixed doubles involves both male and female athletes, sometimes skills, tactics and coordination are more important. Of course, this requires our mixed doubles team to practice more in private." "The game started. From the beginning, we saw the two teams directly engaging in hand-to-hand combat. It can be seen that both teams started very quickly." "Both Li Ying and Meng Li's shots were smash shots, and they both wanted to score directly." "The game was very tense, with both sides taking turns to score." "Because our strengths are similar, and neither of us wants to lose. After all, we are only one step away from the finals!" "Let us congratulate Li Ying and Wang Xianlan for defeating their opponents 3:2 and advancing to the mixed doubles final!" After winning the mixed doubles semi-finals, Wang Xianlan immediately rushed to the women's singles side. Although there was no women's singles competition for her, she wanted to see the results and process of the women's singles competition. Because the women's singles side is also full of strong players. The time came to nine o'clock in the evening. Mixed doubles final. Li Ying/Wang Xianlan versus Liang Long/Xu Mingyue! "Xianlan, you have to be more decisive in your shots. No matter who receives the serve on the opposite side, you must shoot decisively if you have the chance. Don't hesitate, you are very strong!" Li Ying encouraged Wang Xianlan. Because in the previous semi-final, Li Ying found that Wang Xianlan played a little timidly. This is not Wang Xianlan's style. Li Ying also watched Wang Xianlan's women's singles match.
The attack was also decisive and fast. The quality of the single board is not as good as that of male players, but table tennis matches are never won by strength. Wang Xianlan is proficient in table tennis skills such as wide angles and backhand straight line shots. But it may be due to psychological factors that lead to lack of self-confidence. "kindness!" Wang Xianlan nodded in agreement. But in mixed doubles, Liang Long/Xu Mingyue are very strong. Moreover, they are all from the imperial capital team, so they train more often and cooperate better. finally. The mixed doubles match also went to the fifth set. Before, it was already tied at 2:2. In this way, the final game will decide the winner. At this moment, Liang Long/Xu Mingyue focused their attention on Wang Xianlan. Li Ying worked hard to improve the quality of his board, and whenever he had the chance to shoot, he would score directly. finally. Liang Long/Xu Mingyue could only watch the score. 11: 9! Li Ying and Wang Xianlan won! Just two points away, but Liang Long/Xu Mingyue lost the game. "Aying, you guys are still better!" Liang Long was convinced. "luck!" Li Ying could only be modest in this way. Then he bumped fists with the referee and the opposing team's off-court coach. At this time, the host appeared. "Now, let's proceed to the award ceremony for the mixed doubles competition!" "2008 National Championship Mixed Doubles Champion Li Ying! Wang Xianlan!" Li Ying and Wang Xianlan were very happy to receive the medal and trophy representing the mixed doubles champion from the award presenters.
