Not much to say, the second battle between Gu Yang and Liu Tian has begun. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Liu Tian is old after all, and the time to quit the table tennis world is too early, and for the mastery of table tennis, he is no longer as good as Gu Yang in his prime.
In the second game, Gu Yang defeated Liu Lao 11:7, which was obviously much easier than the battle in the first game.
When the game reached the third game, Liu Lao was powerful, and from the third round, Liu Lao Gu Yang suppressed it to death.
Although when it came to the game point, Gu Yang fought back vigorously and once put the game into a stalemate.
But Liu Lao didn't give Gu Yang a chance to fight back, he firmly consolidated his advantages, and at the same time encroached on the territory defended by Gu Yang step by step.
At 13:15, Liu Lao won the third game, and he called a timeout.
"I'm tired, I'm tired, I can't accept old age." Liu Lao was supported by Wang Junwen and sat on the cushion on the side.
Gu Yang wiped the sweat stains from the racket with his hand and laughed heartily: "Happy, happy." ”
At the same time, Gu Yang walked quickly in front of Liu Lao and asked respectfully, "Liu Lao, are you okay?" ”
Liu Lao waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, and at the same time said: "It's okay, it's okay, you kid can do it, Wu Guoliang plays well, and his eye for people is better than mine, I can't accept it." ”
Gu Yang replied: "Liu Lao is too modest, your contribution to the table tennis world of the Republic is obvious to all generations of our players. ”
Liu Lao smiled: "Don't mention this, I estimate that I can't keep up with my physical strength in this game, you kid, you really have a hand when you start to consume balls!" ”
Gu Yang smiled: "The old gentleman has never heard of the classic laws of today's football world." ”
"What law?" Liu Lao asked.
Gu Yang boasted to himself: "Never compare your physical strength with Gu Yang, otherwise you will die a miserable death." ”
"Oh, interesting!" Liu Lao stroked his hand and smiled.
After resting for a while, Liu Lao still finished the normal game with Gu Yang, according to Liu Lao, it was not easy to meet an opponent with the right appetite, even if I scrapped the old bones, I had to continue the game.
After the game, Gu Yang and Wang Junwen had a deep talk with Liu Lao respectively, and the morning passed quite quickly.
After that, Gu Yang and Wang Junwen bid farewell to Liu Lao and officially returned to the team.
In the following time, they resumed their usual training, and the nerves of Gu Yang and the others became numb in the training again and again.
In this way, the start date of the Three Kingdoms Tour is finally approaching.
The first stop of the China-Japan-South Korea Trilateral Tour was set in Hangzhou, followed by Osaka in Japan, and finally Seoul in South Korea, and then back to Hangzhou in the Republic.
On January 19, 2018, the China-Japan-South Korea Trilateral Tour officially kicked off.
It is important to mention here that the China-Japan-Korea Tour will start with a team competition.
The match adopts a best-of-5 format (each game also adopts a best-of-3 system), with the winner of the first 3 games.
Before the game, the two sides use the method of drawing lots to select the home and away teams. Home Team 2 single players are set as A and B; Away Team 2 singles are set as X and Y. The order of the 5 matches is: 1A vs. X2B vs. Y3 Doubles 4A vs. Y5B vs. X.
That is, each country sends three players to start the single-odd and double-single competition mode.
Three days before the start of the tournament, Gu Yang and his party had arrived in Hangzhou to prepare for their upcoming tour.
In the athletes' rest center, the day before the game, Gu Yang, Chen Jing, Xu Chen, and Fan Ying were discussing some information about the tour.
At this time, someone pushed the door in, and Gu Yang looked fixedly, it was Zhang Guohua's office secretary.
The secretary came up with a stack of papers in his hand and said, "The list of matches is out, and the country we played first against is ......"
Speaking of this, the secretary paused deliberately, and then dragged out his tone, and only after satisfying everyone's appetite did he speak: "The country we played first against was the German team. ”
"I'll go!"
"First game against Germany?"
"It's exciting!"
Three of the four people expressed surprise and expressed their feelings at this time.
Only Chen Jing didn't say a word, but his eyebrows were raised, and he was obviously surprised by the opponent in the first battle.
"Come on!" Chen Jing looked at Gu Yang and the three of them, and finally only said two words.
The three players sent by the national team this time are a lineup composed of Gu Yang, Xu Chen, and Fan Ying.
As for replacing Chen Jing with Fan Ying, Zhang Guohua's explanation is to give the youngster a chance to make his debut.
After all, the importance of the Three Kingdoms Tour is not too great, and it is not a small game in the major tournaments in the table tennis world, and it is very suitable as the debut of the teenager Fan Ying.
In this regard, Chen Jing nodded in agreement, and did not show the slightest dissatisfaction with Zhang Guohua's arrangement.
At this time, Gu Yang asked: "Secretary Wang, let me ask, who are the players sent by the German team?" ”
The secretary handed a document to Gu Yang: "You look at it yourself first, and I'll answer any questions." ”
"Okay." Everyone nodded, and Gu Yang took the document.
Gu Yang put the document on the table, and the four of them came over and saw the information on the list.
An introduction to the list of players of the German team.
Men's singles No. 1: Ficher
Men's Singles No. 2: Coot. Kurtfelix
Men's Singles No. 3: Nicholas. Nicolaskiefer
Reserves: Marcos. Maxschmeling
Except for the retirement of the veteran Bohl, the lineup of the German team is basically not much different from the lineup at the World Championships, and the only change is that the player of the men's singles No. 1 has been replaced by Boll and Fischer.
"Fischer?" Gu Yang wondered, he hadn't heard of this person's name.
Secretary Wang explained: "Ficher, like Fan Ying, belongs to the youngsters, and this tour is also his debut. It is worth noting that Fischer became famous in Germany for more than half a year. ”
Secretary Wang added: "Because you have been training in a closed environment for the past few months, it is normal for you not to know these news, and we have just received these news, judging from the current situation, the German team is deliberately hiding Fischer and intends to use it as an ace." ”
"What is his record?" Fan Ying said curiously, he was also a young general, and he couldn't help but want to compare himself with Fischer.
Secretary Wang flipped through the documents in his hand, and then replied: "Ten battles and ten victories, none of which have been defeated, one of which includes a duel with Bol." ”
"Even Pol was knocked out?" Fan Ying was surprised, although Bol retired, his strength was still there after all, but this Fischer actually defeated the former world second king, which is incredible.
Gu Yang said with a smile: "I originally thought that Bol's retirement would have some impact on the German team, but now it seems that the German team has been prepared for a long time, and today's world table tennis scene is really getting more and more lively." ”
Xu Chen asked: "Secretary Wang, what is Coach Zhang's arrangement for us?" ”
Secretary Wang said: "Men's singles No. 1, Gu Yang; Men's singles No. 2, Fan Ying; Men's singles No. 3, Xu Chen, doubles combination, Gu Yang/Xu Chen. ”
"My opponent is Fischer?" Gu Yang smiled, "Interesting! ”
