Led by head coach Zhizhong Gu, the core members of the national table tennis team went to Sweden for the Swedish Open of the ITTF. Dai Li, as a physical coach, however, could not go to Sweden. He could only watch the games on the live broadcast online.
Seeing the athletes he had trained playing in an international match, Dai Li felt a tinge of nervousness. He was afraid that they might slip up. But Dai Li soon found that this worry was not necessary at all.
Although there were many good players from Japan, Korea, and Europe, no one could escape defeat when confronted with the national team's core players. It was even very difficult for the foreign players to win one single game in a match. If they could win two, that would have been an even bigger surprise.
