But when the game reached the quarterfinals stage, only Gu Yang was left on the field.

Gu Yang successfully reached the quarterfinals, while Li Ning and Wang Bo lost in the sixth and seventh rounds of the men's singles respectively.

In the sixth round of men's singles, Li Ning played, and his opponent was the biggest favorite to win the Open Championship, James from the United States.

In the sixth round of men's singles, James and Li Ning played on the court......

James said with a look of teasing: "Little guy from the Republic, you are very unlucky, you met me in the sixth round, and your trip to Detroit is over." ”

As a genius, Li Ning's English level is not comparable to Gu Yang's half-baked level, and after he heard James's banter, he smiled and said: "How can you know the result if you don't try?" ”

Table tennis!

Li Ning serves, leads the racket and hits, and the landing point is perfect.

However, James's ball skills have obviously reached the point of perfection, such a level, even in the United States national team can be ranked, Li Ning's perfect landing point is full of flaws in his eyes.

Table tennis!

Like a bolt of lightning across the table, Li Ning could barely see James' swing of the racket, and a topspin had been cast by James and hit back.

At 7:2, James scored again, and the referee flipped the scoreboard.

Outside the court, Gu Yang ended his sixth round early, and when he came to Li Ning's competition area, he was shocked by the numbers on the scoreboard.

At 11:3 in the first game, Li Ning was defeated, and at 11:2 in the second game, Li Ning was defeated.

Now, Li Ning is playing the third game against James, but Li Ning has fallen too far behind.

"So much?" Gu Yang blurted out subconsciously.

Zhang Rong looked serious and said extremely calmly: "James already has the level of the national team, this is the strength of the first god in today's football world - the United States team, but he is a guy who came to participate in the Open Championship, and his level can already compete with our national team players." ”

"I'll you, do you want to be so exaggerated?" Gu Yang pouted, is the American team a super god?

Table tennis!

It was another perfect landing point, Li Ning had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but when his perfect landing point was hit, James smiled playfully, waved the racket, and attacked in the stage, and Li Ning's perfect landing point was intercepted by James like this.

Next, in less than three rounds, Li Ning made a mistake and lost points again.

9:2, but in just one minute, Li Ning lost two goals in a row.

"Are you going to lose the third game?" Gu Yang muttered to himself, Li Ning's game was very similar to his game with James.

No, not at all!

In the match between Gu Yang and James, although Gu Yang lost to James in the first three games, Gu Yang's score increased little by little, until the fourth game achieved the first overtake.

And now, the situation facing Li Ning is completely different from Gu Yang's, he has lost three games, and he can't see a glimmer of hope for overtaking.

"Did you call a timeout?" Gu Yang asked Zhang Rong anxiously.

Zhang Rong shook his head: "Li Ning didn't mean to call a pause!" ”

"Damn, it's all this time, what is Daning thinking?" Gu Yang clenched his fists and was anxious outside the court.

On-field ......

Li Ning gently threw the ball in his palm, and then caught it, so after three or four back and forth, Li Ning caught the ball and smiled at James: "You are really good, I haven't played for a long time, you are the strongest opponent I have ever seen!" ”

James touched his chin and smiled inexplicably: "It is undeniable that you have a certain talent in table tennis, which can be called a genius or something." It's just that my mouth likes to kill so-called geniuses! ”

Li Ning shook his head lightly: "I'm not a genius, I'm just a person who loves table tennis, well, not long ago, I started to like table tennis!" ”

Not so long ago...... Li Ning was referring to the period in Prison No. 2, although it was short, but since then, he has really paid attention to the training of table tennis.

"Come on, two more balls, I'll see how far I can hit?" Li Ning tossed the ball.

James chuckled, raised his forearms, and waved his hand at any moment.

"This ball, you're going out of bounds!" Li Ning speaks English and swings his racket to hit the ball.

James chuckled lightly: "Oh, is this the 'God's will' that is widely circulated on the Internet, haha, it's up to me to end it!" ”

Table tennis!

James led the racket to get started, and at the same time the front foot went deep into the audience, and the back foot followed the movement of the front foot to move forward appropriately, and when Li Ning's serve reached the highest point, James's wrist was slightly retracted and the racket was thrown violently!

Picking, James used pick-and-catch techniques to catch Li Ning's Aoyi serve.

β€œwhat? What action did he add to the ball? Feeling the special sensation coming from the racket, James finally paid a little attention.

Li Ning's serve spin is very strong, and after contact with his racket, there seems to be an extremely strong irregular swing, as Li Ning said, the ball he hit back has a great possibility of going out of bounds!

"Funny, my return ball, how could it be predicted by you!" James increased the twist of his wrist and swung the racket hard.

Table tennis!

At this moment, Li Ning and James's eyes fell on the spinning table tennis ball, and as the table tennis ball crossed the net, Li Ning's expression changed.

The smile he had always maintained on his face froze at this moment, and while the smile froze, Li Ning did not hesitate to smash it!

Score!

At 9:3, the referee flipped the scoreboard, and there was a subtle fluctuation on his otherwise calm face, which seemed to ...... He was affected by the change in the situation on the field.

"Humph!" Although James lost this goal, his face was filled with a smug smile.

Li Ning's divine will was cracked by him.

James' return shot did not go out of bounds as Li Ning predicted.

Li Ning's face was calm, and he quietly looked at James on the opposite side, and James's return ball hit the corner of his table and almost went out of bounds......

…… It's just that it's almost too much!

His God's will was shattered by James!

"In the face of absolute strength, all fancy moves are vulnerable!" James whistled.

"Next, let me end your trip to Detroit with two serves." James smiled unabashedly.

"Referee, I'm timeout!" Li Ning smiled and called a timeout.

Then, without looking at James, he walked unhurriedly.

"You!" James smiled ugly, "Good, little ghost!" ”

Off-site ......

"Daning!" Gu Yang handed over a bottle of water, but he didn't know what to say.

Li Ning drank the water calmly and looked at Zhang Rong: "I'm sorry, Zhang Jiao, I disappointed you, facing James, I can't pass this level!" Your previous predictions, I can't do it! ”

Zhang Rong said: "Li Ning...... Good boy! ”

Li Ning smiled, shook his head slightly, and then looked at Gu Yang: "Yangzi, you have to continue, if you can, fight with James!" ”

Gu Yang frowned, opened his mouth and finally did not speak, and nodded heavily.

Subsequently, Li Ning came on the court, and in less than five minutes, his trip to Detroit came to an end......

That day, after the end of the game, Li Ning rarely did not show a smile all day, and he fell into a long contemplation.

The next day, Wang Bo's trip to Detroit was also ended by his opponent, and it was the Japanese player Hideta Yamamoto who defeated him.

With a score of 4:2, Wang Bo tried his best, but he lost to his opponent after all.

The defeat of the two players of the Republic has cast a gray haze in the hearts of the fans at home, and now it is ...... Their hopes all fell on Gu Yang, who was still struggling.

"Come on, Gu Yang!" This is the voice of the Republic fans, they didn't ask for anything, after all, Gu Yang can reach the quarterfinals, which is already a huge improvement for the Republic players!

The soul of the country must return, a year, ten years, a hundred years, we wait...... Wait, wait, wait...... The soul of the nation is back!

On the day of the quarterfinals, before Gu Yang came on the court, Wang Bo rarely took the initiative to meet Gu Yang.

"Please! Bring this of mine, and win it back for me! With this sentence, Wang Bo roared out hoarsely, and Wang Bo burst into tears at this moment.

Gu Yang sighed heavily and closed his eyes: "I can only say...... Fight until the last minute! ”

Quarterfinal...... Begin!

The first game: Republic player Gu Yang vs. ...... Japanese player Hideta Yamamoto!
