All-round Athlete

Chapter 318 Ideal Tactics

Campus promotion of tennis is a very important job of the Tennis Center this year. Tennis is a relatively new sport in China. Although many universities and even middle schools have established tennis courts, very few people actually play tennis. The most important reason is that everyone does not understand this sport, so Not even trying.

It is definitely unrealistic to promote tennis to primary and secondary schools. Primary and secondary schools are under such heavy academic pressure. If they do not specialize in this sport in the future, parents and teachers will definitely not allow students to waste too much time on non-academics, so The university has become the only place to promote tennis on campus.

When the Tennis Center drew up this plan last year, they were still worried about whether it would be implemented smoothly. Now that Zhang Guan participated in the Grand Slam of the Australian Open, it instantly raised the attention of this event, no matter which school he went to. , Students flocked to the event, and the entire promotion plan went smoothly.

...

The Tennis Masters Indian Wells station in March was full of big names. Among the top ten players in the world, all of them participated in this tournament except Zhang Guan.

In the case of a bye in the first round, Federer was eliminated by the Argentine veteran Guillermo Canas in the second round, while Nadal successfully advanced to the final, and finally defeated Djokovic in the final. Winner of the Indian Wells Masters. At the same time, Djokovic also ranked 10th in the world with 600 points from the runner-up, and Zhang Guan was squeezed to 11th in the world.

In the following match of the Masters Miami station, Djokovic successfully defeated Nadal in the semi-finals and avenged Indian Wells station, and then in the final, Djokovic defeated Nadal. Overwhelmed Argentine veteran Canas, who was in good shape, and won the championship.

It is worth mentioning that Federer met Canas again in the fourth round, but was defeated by Canas again and stopped in the round of 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 of participating in tennis campus promotion activities. In fact, Zhang Guan did not intend to participate in these two masters, because according to the plan, Zhang Guan will have a long period of special tennis training.

For the top professional tennis players, each player has his own unique technical characteristics. In fact, this so-called technical characteristic is actually the most suitable style of play for this professional athlete. Athletes choose a style of play that suits them, and then train and become familiar with it, and gradually develop this style of play into their own unique means. This is a real professional athlete.

For example, when it comes to net play, people will think of Sampras; when it comes to bottom-line offense, people will think of Federer; when it comes to bottom-line defense, people will think of Nadal; when it comes to all-around play, people will think of Djokovic. It's not that these top athletes don't know how to use other styles of play, but that they have used the best style of play that suits them to the extreme, and have achieved the world's number one achievement.

Although the current Zhang Guan is studying the experience books of Sampras and Federer, the two world champions, those belong to others after all. The current Zhang Guan still belongs to the "bringing doctrine", or he is learning and selling now. He hasn't really created a style of play that suits him, and in the days to come, what he has to do is to find the most suitable style of play for him and create a set of "Zhang Guan style" style of play.

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, you can get all kinds of training venues and training equipment.

Of course, Zhang Guan's training can't be sloppy, and the champion team is willing to spend money. In addition to Zhang Guan and coach Zhang Depei, they also hired special training partners, physical trainers, nutritionists, chefs, etc., as well as special doctors. check.

There are specialized companies in the United States that can do all of this in a package, and some well-known coaches will also have a dedicated coaching team. In short, as long as the athletes are willing to pay, everything is not a problem.

...

On the court, coach Zhang Peide is explaining tactics to Zhang Guan.

I only heard what Coach Zhang said in half-baked Chinese: "The core of the tactics I designed actually has only one word, and that is 'run'!"

When Zhang Depei said this, he said embarrassingly: "My Chinese is not very good, I'd better continue speaking in English."

"Let's talk about the tactics I used to play in the past. At that time, it was Sampras' era. The net play was the mainstream tennis style. I think you will also use the net play, so you must use it. Knowing how to play in front of the net requires running. As a Chinese athlete at the time, my physical talent was not as good as that of white people. I was not good at strength, and the power of serving was not great, so I could only use more running. And more footwork to make up for the lack of strength. In general, I have to run more than those players who play at the net."

"With the decline of the net game and the rise of the bottom line game, modern athletes are not as active as I was when they ran. On the contrary, the serve is getting more and more fierce, the speed of the ball is getting faster, and the ball is spinning more and more. Higher. Those were things that didn’t exist in the era I was playing, and back then, even Pete Sampras seldom played the ball with spin, it was straight.”

Coach Zhang said, looked at Zhang Guan, and then said: "You are the athlete with the highest physical talent I have ever seen. You have sufficient strength, fast movement speed, and flexible steps. So I want you to let you try my ideal athlete. A set of tactics."

"Ideal tactics?" Zhang Guan was a little surprised. The word "ideal" made Zhang Guan worry whether Coach Zhang would regard himself as a guinea pig for experiments.

But coach Zhang became more and more excited as he talked. He didn't notice the change in Zhang Guan's expression at all, but continued: "My tactic is perfect! Of course, I have tried this tactic with myself, but my body Talent is not enough. Although my mobility is good, my forehand is not strong enough, so I can't play the effect of this set of tactics at all. I have waited for so many years, and finally I have you. You are also of the yellow race, and you have a yellow race. You are flexible, and your physical talent is the best in the world, combined with this set of tactics, you will definitely be invincible all over the world!"

Hearing what Coach Zhang said, Zhang Guan became curious instead, and asked, "Then what kind of tactics is this?"

The first chapter has been delivered. From tomorrow onwards, it will be double monthly pass time again, so ask for tomorrow's monthly pass first, thank you everyone. Thanks to the bird A Fei for the 10,000-point reward!
