Tennis campus promotion is a very important task for the tennis center this year. Tennis is still relatively new in China. Although many universities and even middle schools have established tennis courts, there are very few people who play tennis. The most important reason is that not everyone knows the game, so they don't bother to even try.
To promote tennis, it is unrealistic to go to elementary and middle schools. The pressure on schoolwork in elementary and middle schools is so heavy. If their not specializing in this sport in the future, parents, and teachers will certainly not allow students to waste too much time on non-academic, so the university became the only venue for tennis campus promotion.
When the tennis center drafted this plan last year, they were still worried about the smooth implementation, but now Zhang Guan became a grand slam champion in the Australian Open and immediately raises the attention of this activity, no matter which school, all students will flock to the tennis court to try it, and the whole promotion plan was carried out smoothly.
...
In March, the Indian Master's Tennis Masters Indian Wells was a big gathering. Among the top ten players in the world, all except Zhang Guan participated in this tournament.
Federer was eliminated in the second round by Argentine veteran Guillermo Canas, and Nadal successfully advanced to the final, and finally defeated Djokovic in the final and became the winner of the Indian Wells Masters. At the same time, Djokovic also ranked tenth in the world with 600 points for the runner-up, and Zhang Guan was also squeezed to 11th in the world.
In the subsequent Masters Miami game, Djokovic successfully defeated Nadal in the semi-finals and reported revenge of Indian Wells. Then in the final, Djokovic defeated Argentine veteran Canas, who was in good shape, won the championship.
It is worth mentioning that Federer once again encountered Canas in the fourth round of the game, and was defeated by Canas again, stopping in the top 16. This is also the first time in recent years that Federer has been defeated by the same opponent twice in a month.
Zhang Guan missed two important Masters tournaments in the United States because he was busy participating in the tennis campus promotion activities. Zhang Guan had no intention of participating in the two masters because according to the plan, Zhang Guan would be participating in a special tennis training for a long time.
Top tennis professional players, each player has their own unique technical characteristics, and these so-called technical characteristics are the most suitable for this type of professional athlete. Athletes choose a suitable style of play, and then train and familiarize them, and slowly develop this style of play into their unique means. This is a real professional athlete.
For example, when you mention the play before the net, people will think of Sampras; when you mention the bottom line of attack, people will think of Federer; when you mention the bottom line defense, people will think of Nadal; when you mention the all-around play, people will think of Djokovic. These top athletes don't know how to use other styles of play, but they use their most suitable style of play to the extreme and have achieved many world's first achievements.
Although Zhang Guan had used the experience books of Sampras and Federer, these are the others. After all, Zhang Guan still belongs to "bringing to the doctrine", or is now learning and selling, he hasn't created a style that suits him. In the next few days, all he has to do is find a set of styles that suits him best and create a set of "Zhang Guan" styles.
So after finishing the campus promotion of tennis, Zhang Guan immediately flew to the United States and devoted himself to tennis training.
There are many professional tennis schools in the United States, and there are also many professional tennis courts. As long as you are willing to spend money, all kinds of training venues or training equipment can be obtained.
Of course, Zhang Guan's training must not be a bit sloppy, and the championship team is willing to spend money. In addition to Zhang Guan and coach Zhang Depei, he also hired a special sparring, fitness trainers, dietitians, chefs, etc., and special doctors regularly for inspection.
There are specialized companies in the United States that can do all this. Some well-known coaches will also have a dedicated coaching team. In short, as long as athletes are willing to pay, everything is not a problem.
...
On the court, coach Zhang Depei is explaining tactics to Zhang Guan.
Coach Zhang said in half-fluent Chinese, "The core of the tactics I designed is only one word, that is, "Run" !"
Zhang Depei embarrassedly said, "My Chinese is not too good, I will continue to speak in English."
"First, let me talk about the tactics I used to play in the game. At that time, it was the era of Sampras. Playing in front of the net is the mainstream of tennis. I think you will also play in front of the net, so I know that playing in front of the net requires running. I was a Chinese athlete at the time, and I was not as talented as white men. I didn't have much strength, and the service was not powerful, so I could only use more running and more flexible steps to make up for the lack of strength. In general, I have to run more than the players who play in front of the net."
"With the decline of play in front of the net and the rise of the bottom line, modern athletes are not as active as I was when they ran. Instead, the service is becoming more and more fierce, the ball speed is getting faster and faster, and the rotation of the ball is getting higher. These are not in the era I played. You know, at that time, even Sampras rarely played spins. They all went straight."
Coach Zhang said, looked at Zhang Guan for a while, and then said, "You are the most talented athlete I have ever seen, with sufficient strength, fast movement, and flexible feet. So I think you should let me try my ideal set of tactics."
"Ideal tactics?" Zhang Guan was a little surprised. The words "ideal" made Zhang Guan worry whether Coach Zhang would consider himself as an experimental mouse.
Coach Zhang said more and more excitedly, he did not notice the change of Zhang Guan's expression, but continued, "My tactics are perfect! Of course, I have tried this tactic myself, but my body talent is not good, although my mobility is good, my forehand strength is not enough, so I can't fully exert the effect of this set of tactics. I waited for so many years and finally waited for you. You are also a yellow race who is flexible, and your physical talent is the best in the world. Combined with this set of tactics, you can be invincible in the world of tennis!"
After listening to Coach Zhang's words, Zhang Guan was curious, and he asked, "What kind of tactics is this?"
