The table tennis competition of the National Games is the largest table tennis competition in China every four years, even this time, and even in six years.

In addition, in the 90s, the domestic sports world has not paid attention to football and basketball, and in comprehensive sports competitions, table tennis is often the most popular project.

The combination of these two factors has made the table tennis men's doubles match even if it is only a round of group stage, but it has received great attention from major sports media.

The second round of the group stage will be played in the afternoon of the next day, so Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang can easily read the newspaper at breakfast.

Ye Ying took a sip of porridge, took a bite of fritters, flipped through the newspaper and said: "There are so many newspapers covering the National Games!" ”

Guo Bing took a sip of porridge, swallowed a potsticker, and said while chewing: "Of course, now the whole country is full of calls to cheer for the Olympic bid." Whether the National Games is successful or not, it is a big military parade! Although wushu is not an Olympic event, it has a good chance of being selected for the Olympic performance event, so even the enthusiasm of wushu people for the National Games is unprecedentedly high. ”

Ye Ying flipped through a few newspapers and said: "Although there are many reports on table tennis, they are still focused on those well-known national players, and there is so little news about Zhendong and your group!" ”

Kong Zhendong said with a smile: "Find some newspapers in the south and flip through them." The Lingnan team can be said to have two and a half players participating in the doubles of the National Games this time. Lin Gangqiang is cooperating with Wang Yonggang from the Northeast, so the length of the report is definitely not as long as that of a pure Lingnan player. ”

Liu Guobang continued: "The pure Lingnan combination has two pairs, Li Jing, Gao Lize and Liu Guokun and Ma Lin. With the habits of the media, their attention to the well-known national player and the runner-up of the National Championships Li Jing must be more than that of the young players of Marin and Liu Guokun. Therefore, if we look through the reports of Lingnan more, there must be a concentrated report on Li Jing and Gao Lize, and we, as their opponents in the same group, are also stained! ”

Ye Ying followed Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang's suggestion and began to flip through the newspapers in Lingnan.

"Sure enough, I found it!" Ye Ying shouted, "Win hard!" The eighth group where the strong are not strong and the weak are not weak! What does this report say? Why do you say that Zhendong is a weakling? ”

Guo Bing grabbed it, glanced at the report and said: "There are a lot of dry goods in this article, and the reporter should have watched the game on the spot." The article said that in the first round of yesterday's game, Li Jinggao Lize defeated the newcomer combination Wang Dali Yan Sheng 2:1, especially Wang Dali's forehand kill, although the rhythm and reaction speed are still flawed, but once the rhythm is seized, it is almost inexplicable. The competition is divided into 16 groups, and Li Jinggao Lize, as the only seeded player in the eighth group, is so difficult to win in the face of a brand-new combination with no results in the group, so there is nothing wrong with the evaluation that the strong team is not strong and the weak team is not weak. ”

Liu Guobang's description of the game is obviously more concerned than the evaluation of the strong team and the weak team, and he asked: "In this report, it really says that Wang Dali, who has never heard of it, is more incomprehensible than Li Jing?" ”

At this time, Wang Dali was not outstanding in the Shanghai provincial team, and he was far from entering the national team, so it was normal for Liu Guobang to know nothing about him.

Guo Bing nodded and said: "In addition to the large report on Li Jinggao Lize's game in this newspaper, there is also a small tofu block mentioned to you below, saying that you are two newcomers of the new generation of the national team, and you won another pair of newcomers in this game, and your performance is remarkable." ”

Ye Ying flipped to another Lingnan newspaper at this time and shouted: "Look at this, it's too much, there is an interview with Li Jing in the newspaper." He complained in the newspaper that he had been mistakenly delayed by the national team coaching staff for a year, so that he had nothing to do with the sideboard, and the straightboard advantage was almost wiped out. He said that the first match was just a battle of adaptation to switch back to straight boarding, and that in the following games, he will prove with his results that he is still the best straight boarder of the new generation. He wants to re-enter the national team with straight board results! ”

Kong Zhendong frowned and said: "At the beginning, it was also because Li Jing's straight board playing style was distinctive, and there were also bottlenecks and defects that could not be bypassed, so Mi Shuai proposed to change the straight board to the horizontal board. Since he agreed to try it himself, now he has jumped out to bombard the national team at this juncture. That's the heart! ”

Guo Bing said: "I can probably understand this Li Jing's thinking with the mentality of a person who practices martial arts. It is to practice a set of boxing techniques, meet a famous teacher halfway, and change to practice the stronger boxing method of the famous teacher, but unfortunately the stronger one is not more suitable. Practice and then turn back. At this time, I must want to find someone to beat me up, not only to announce my return, but also to vent. ”

Kong Zhendong said with a smile: "You don't know Wang Dali Yan Sheng, but I know some, Wang Dali's forehand offensive and defensive forces and lines are very strong. The reaction was a little slow, but Yan Sheng, who was straight on his left hand, was the best compensator for him. Wang Dali's big opening and closing, coupled with Yan Sheng's tricky left-handed straight board fast attack, Li Jing's anger must not be able to vent. ”

Ye Ying knocked on Kong Zhendong's head and said, "You can still laugh, it's really heartless!" Your opponent this afternoon is Li Jing, Gao Lize. Although you won the first game, you can't take it lightly, a win can't break through to the group stage. ”

At the same time, Li Jing and Gao Lize of the Lingnan team ended breakfast earlier, and they were already practicing tactics with the sparring players at this time.

Because of its close proximity to Hong Kong Island, the Lingnan team has exported table tennis talents in the past two years, making the Lingnan team the team with the most abundant resources and funds among the local teams.

With abundant resources and funds, there is also a strong player echelon training system.

This time in Beijing to participate in the National Games, the Lingnan team boldly brought more than 20 young players of men and women who were not qualified to participate in the competition into Beijing to serve as sparring partners, which is also the best exercise for themselves.

Gao Lize quickly rubbed the board, and after the sparring team quickly returned the ball, Li Jing's body shrank sharply, and the bomb exploded violently.

A board exploded and quickly smashed, making the sparring players who couldn't chase the ball fall to the ground.

The partner of the sparring partner pulled his companion up, and said with admiration: "Senior Brother Li is so strong, such speed and explosiveness, even if they are the main force of the national team, we have never seen them do it!" ”

Li Jing just smiled reservedly. Gao Lize is more confident.

In the past few days, with the adjustment of the training state, Li Jing's state is obviously much stronger than the first game of the group stage.

Although Gao Lize is the taller main attacker in the doubles combination. But he also had to admit that Li Jing, who was less than 1.6 meters tall, burst out with instantaneous power under the premise of sufficient time to accumulate strength, which a big man like himself couldn't do.

Hey! I heard that the opponent in the afternoon is younger than these two sparring partners, isn't this a clear bully?
