"Andrew! Shut up! Louis accentuated his tone, anger on his face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Andrew snorted and turned away, looking like he was still a little jealous of Louis.

Louis bowed deeply to Zhang Rong: "Coach Zhang, I'm sorry. ”

Zhang Rong signaled that it was nothing serious, and nodded to the Italian coach in a friendly manner.

The Italian coach nodded politely to Zhang Rong, and then began to lead the team into the training base.

Luis waved his hand: "Coach Zhang, we'll meet later." ”

After saying that, he trotted, caught up with the Italian team, and entered the training base.

Seeing that the Italian players had entered the training base, Li Ning let go of Gu Yang.

Gu Yang snorted coldly: "Daning, if you hadn't stopped me, I would have to beat that fat boy!" ”

Li Ning smiled slightly: "Wouldn't it be better to beat him with a ping pong ball?" ”

"Oh, yes!" Gu Yang snorted lightly and asked Zhang Rongdao, "Coach Zhang, that Louis ......"

Zhang Rong replied: "In the more than a year that he has been in the Republic, I have been half of his master. ”

"No wonder he knows you." Gu Yang said.

"Let's go, let's go in too." Zhang Rong picked up his luggage and began to walk towards the base.

Gu Yang looked around, except for those coaches and entourage, there were only him, Li Ning and Wang Bo, the fourth person in the Republic of China, who had not appeared so far.

"Coach Zhang, who is our fourth person?" Gu Yang chased after him and said curiously.

"Why do you talk so much?" Zhang Rong snorted and poured a basin of cold water on Gu Yang.

Li Ning watched from behind and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

The Detroit Table Tennis Training Base is a super-large training base integrating accommodation and training, and the first round of the group stage of Gu Yang and others will start in this base.

Entering the training base, Gu Yang and the others followed the special commanders to their rooms, and they had to settle down first.

In the room, Gu Yang carefully wiped his racket with a towel, this was his first official game in the true sense.

Before coming to the United States, Gu Yang made a bold statement to Li Ning: "This will be our time." ”

And before long, he will be on the ring to prove himself.

"Gu Yang, Li Ning, Wang Bo, the three of you come to room 214, let's confirm the relevant information of the game!" In the room, Zhang Rong's voice came from the walkie-talkie.

"Okay!" Gu Yang replied and went to room 214.

In room 214, Zhang Rong was holding a list in his hand and was looking at it seriously.

When Gu Yang pushed the door and entered, Li Ning and Wang Bo were already sitting on the side, waiting for his arrival.

"Zhangjiao, what's wrong?" Gu Yang sat beside Li Ning and asked.

Zhang Rong put down the list in his hand, looked at the three children in the room, and said, "Except for Wang Bo, Gu Yang and Li Ning, this open tournament is your debut in the international arena. ”

"This game means much more to you!" Zhang Rong accentuated his tone.

Li Ning and Gu Yang glanced at each other and saw the burning battle intent in each other's eyes.

Zhang Rong continued: "The format of this Open Tournament is composed of singles and doubles, each country sends three singles members, and after all the singles matches are over, the doubles matches will begin. ”

"It's so exciting, I like it." Gu Yang said.

Zhang Rong announced: "Next, let's talk about the arrangement of singles candidates, the first singles, Gu Yang!" ”

"Yes!" Gu Yang stood up.

"Second singles, Lin Ning!"

"Hmm!" Li Ning nodded.

"Third singles, Wang Bo, it's you!" Zhang Rong looked at Wang Bo.

"Okay, Coach." Wang Bodao.

"As for doubles, we'll make further arrangements when our fourth player arrives." Zhang Rong said.

Gu Yang asked, "Sect Zhang, what is the date of the competition?" ”

"After three days, let you get used to it first, after all, jet lag is also a troublesome thing." Zhang Rongdao.

Subsequently, Gu Yang and the three returned to their rooms to prepare for their group stage debut three days later.

Zhang Rong went to the hall to draw the opponents in the first round of the group stage of the Republic.

In the hall, Zhang Rong looked at the lottery drawn in his hand and frowned, he didn't expect that the opponent in the first round of the Republic would be the Italian team.

This time, the Republic encountered Italy, one of the four gods of table tennis, in its first game, and the start was worrying.

After Gu Yang and the three of them learned the news, they looked at their opponents and fell into contemplation one by one.

On this day, the world's major newspapers rushed to publish articles reporting on the first match of the Open Championship against the two sides.

The New York Times: "The Republic will lose badly against Italy in the first round?" 》

Japan's Tokyo Shimbun: "Chen Jing's appearance is just an accident of the Republic, and the debut of the group stage will prove everything!" 》

Australian XN Daily: "Republic meets Italy, Republic players are a joke!" 》

The German Press Agency published: "The biggest disparity in history, Republic vs Italy!" 》

London Daily News: "The Fall of Republic Table Tennis May Start Today?" 》

The media of various countries have published articles one after another, and public opinion has almost turned to one side, and there is no player who is optimistic about the republic.

"Daning, have you heard, no one in the international public opinion is optimistic about us." Gu Yang swung his racket and hit the ball back.

Li Ning smashed the ball in the table and hit the ball back.

"Well, do you care?" Li Ning asked with a smile.

"Haha, I, Gu Yang, care about those...... I'm Gu Yang! Gu Yang laughed and hit the ball back.

Gu Yang and Li Ning were in a warm-up match, discussing public opinion from the outside world at the same time.

smashed in front of the net, Gu Yang swung his racket, and the ball was like a bullet, as fast as the wind.

Li Ning took a step back, raised his forearm, and swung forward to slash horizontally.

The movements of the two are like flowing water, and the connection is extremely smooth.

Table tennis!

Li Ning cut the ball and scored, the score was 6:7, and Gu Yang temporarily took the lead.

"Whew, Daning's skills are still so gorgeous and perfect." Gu Yang gasped slightly.

Li Ning sat on the bench next to him and said with a smile: "Your mystery, is it okay?" ”

Gu Yang knew what Li Ning was asking, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'm not sure, Gu Yang's black hole trick requires a lot of technical content, and I haven't fully mastered it yet." ”

Li Ning stared at him and stood up again: "Come on, finish this game!" ”

Gu Yang asked: "Daning, that ...... of yours"

Li Ning smiled slightly: "It's still the same sentence, keep it secret!" ”

"Good! I'm waiting for you! Gu Yang laughed and struck with a racket.

Li Ning ran left and right, buckled, skimmed, pulled, rubbed, knocked, and all kinds of connections went into battle together, and the playing style was extremely gorgeous.

After the game, Gu Yang and Li Ning were both tired and messy.

As for the final result of this match, the two looked at each other and laughed after the game, without mentioning ......
