Chapter 29 The list of players for the 2008 ITTF Grand Prix is released! Li Ying came to the side of his national table tennis teammates. At this moment, all the athletes who were not participating, whether from the men's or women's team, were watching the women's doubles match together. "Aying, I never thought that Mengli, who was in his prime, would be defeated by you. You are really good at playing games!" As the head coach of the men's team and once the twin stars of the Xia country's national table tennis team, standing at the top of the world, Dong Yaobang has witnessed countless global table tennis talents. But none of them can compare to Li Ying. "lucky!" Li Ying still used the three familiar words to prevaricate. Monri: “???” This cannot be explained by just three words: good luck. "You won four gold medals in your first national championship. You really made the Lingnan captain proud!" Ma Qing said with a smile. "Some people are lucky. They followed Ah Ying and were directly carried away to win two championships!" At this time, the only one who dared to "mock" Ma Qing in person was Chen Daqian, the big brother of the national team.
"Daqian, you still have the nerve to say that? Isn't this just the pot calling the kettle black? You talk as if you were in the Table Tennis Super League and you weren't carried by Aying!" Ma Qing retorted. Chen Daqian: “???” He had nothing to say. The Chinese national table tennis team watched the women's doubles match in a friendly manner. finally. The women's doubles championship was won by Xu Mingyue and Qiao Yuning. The night after the national championships. The Hong Kong City Government held a grand celebration party. Although Li Ying won four gold medals in the national championships, he was still a rookie in the national team. In addition, Li Ying was too lazy to socialize, so he just stayed with Wang Xianlan and ate and drank to his heart's content. Of course, Li Ying was mainly responsible for eating and drinking. Wang Xianlan had to maintain her figure, so she ate very little. Most of the time, she served Li Ying, such as serving dishes and peeling shrimps. "Li Ying, are you going home tomorrow or going to the capital for training?" Wang Xianlan asked curiously. "The national championships are over, why do we still need to train? It seems that the winter training has not started yet!" Li Ying looked confused. "Prepare for the international professional tour finals, which will be held in Haojiang. There are still ten or twenty days left. Aren't you going to participate?" Wang Xianlan asked. "I should participate, but no one has notified me yet. And this should be registered by the Xiaguo Table Tennis Association. I want to go home first." Li Ying said with a smile. The next day, the Xia country's national table tennis team held a very grand press conference for Chen Daqian. Chen Daqian announced at the meeting that he would officially withdraw from the national team. Chen Daqian originally wanted to retire directly. But perhaps he was persuaded by Dong Yaobang and others to temporarily withdraw from the national team and not participate in major competitions. However, Chen Daqian will definitely participate in the current Table Tennis Super League and next year's National Games. Because at the moment Xu Guinian is not able to support the Magic City team.
Therefore, the Shanghai Table Tennis Team still needs Chen Daqian to help them get on the horse and give them a ride. At the very least, we have to protect Xu Guinian for a period of time and wait for Xu Guinian to fully mature and become the core player of the national team. After the meeting, a reporter interviewed Dong Yaobang from the men's team. "Coach Dong, is Chen Daqian's withdrawal from the national team due to the current handover of the national table tennis team?" Dong Yaobang talked eloquently: "Daqian has been in the national team for 15 years and has fought for the country for many years. Daqian's entire career has been magnificent and glorious. He won the three World Table Tennis Championships in 01, 05 and 07. He was the bronze medalist in the men's singles at two Olympic Games and entered the ITTF Hall of Fame in 05." "At present, the handover of the national table tennis men's team is normal. Our next generation of table tennis players, Li Ying, Liang Long, Kong Fengge, etc., have begun to challenge the core positions. The performance of our young athletes in this national championship is obvious to all!" "Although Daqian has retired from the national team, he will not leave table tennis. Moreover, Daqian has formally submitted a coaching application to the Xia National Table Tennis Association. If nothing unexpected happens, Daqian will soon meet us again with a new identity and appearance, and Daqian will continue to appear on the table tennis court." Dong Yaobang's answer was flawless. The reporter asked again: "Coach Dong, the National Championships have ended. Has the national table tennis team confirmed the candidates for the International Tour Finals? Will Li Ying, who performed particularly well in this National Championships and won four gold medals, play?" Dong Yaobang smiled and said: "The ITTF Pro Tour Finals will be held in Haojiang this year, so our national table tennis team will definitely make full preparations. As for the specific list of participants, we will have to study it after we return. As for whether Li Ying will be on the list, we will announce it after we study it!" Dong Yaobang practiced Tai Chi and exchanged moves with the reporters one by one. Airport of the port city. Li Ying came here to take a plane and return to Lingnan! Chen Daqian came to see him off at the airport. "Brother Qian, have you really decided to apply for the national team coach position?" Li Ying still couldn't believe it. "Yes, I have officially submitted an application to the Xiaguo Table Tennis Association. At the end of the year, the Xiaguo Table Tennis Association will start recruiting coaches. Of course, I will also hold a position at the Magic City Table Tennis Association. But don't worry, this will not affect your training!" At this moment, Chen Daqian has made his intentions clear. The reason why he quit the national team so quickly was that he wanted to become a national team coach. To be precise, his ultimate goal is to become Li Ying's head coach. "Brother Qian, I believe you, there will be no problem!" Li Ying said with a smile. "Okay, then you go home first. Wait until the list of players for the ITTF Pro Tour Finals is finalized. During this time, you can have a good rest!" Chen Daqian said with a smile. "Brother Qian, I'm about to board the plane, you go back!" At this time, the airport broadcast sounded. "Go!" Chen Daqian watched Li Ying get on the plane before he turned and left. Li Ying took a plane and flew directly to Daling City. This time, Li Ying did not show up suddenly. He told his parents in advance that he would be returning home today. Neither Li Zhenguo nor Ying Shimei worked overtime. At the airport, Li Ying took a taxi back to his rented house. Time passed quickly when Li Ying was enjoying his warm family life. Early December! The Chinese Table Tennis Association officially announced the list of players participating in the 2008 ITTF World Tour Finals.
Men's singles: Ma Qing, Meng Li, Liang Long, Su Yan, Li Ying. Women's singles: Ji Chuanxia, Wang Xianlan, Qiao Yuning. Because the Xia Guo team tried different combinations in doubles several times before the Olympics in order to ensure they would win the gold medal in the Olympic team competition, the fixed combination did not have enough entries and thus missed the doubles competition in this final. In other words, the Xiaguo national table tennis team has no men's doubles or women's doubles combinations able to compete. But at this moment. The real focus is on the new coaching team of the Xia National Table Tennis Team. Especially outsourcing, which is directly related to the preparations for table tennis in the 12 Olympics.
