Nalbandian lost! Nalbandian actually lost! And he lost to Zhang Guan! The loser was still so clean and tidy.
This is definitely something that no one thought of before the game.
Although Nalbandian's form has declined since his return from injury last year, he is still the eighth-ranked player in the world. No matter how bad his form is, he cannot lose to a wild card player; even if he loses, It can't be a disastrous defeat like 0-3.
However, the numbers shown on the scoreboard are hard facts.
At this time, the stadium suddenly seemed a little quiet. On one side, they were stunned by this unexpected result, and on the other side, Nalbandian's fans felt extremely disappointed.
Nalbandian was also disappointed. When he found out that his opponent was Zhang Guan, he was still thankful that he was lucky and did not face Grosjean, the serve and net player. But what he didn't expect was that he met a bigger player than Grosjean. A more powerful net player, his amazing mobility and skilled net skills left Nalbandian helpless.
I saw Nalbandian carrying his backpack and walking out of the field with a frustrated look. On the outside of the field, Nalbandian's coach was already waiting there.
"I didn't expect that Zhang Guan turned out to be a net player. This is completely different from what we analyzed before the game. My playing style was completely restrained! It's really unlucky." Nalbandian complained, He very much hoped that his coach could speak to comfort him.
However, the coach glared at Nalbandian coldly, and then said seriously: "David, don't you understand how you lost?"
"Huh?" Nalbandian looked at the coach with a puzzled expression.
I just heard the coach say in a more serious and serious tone: "The reason why you lost is not because Zhang Guan's playing style restrained you, but because Zhang Guan's strength is better than yours!"
"What? Zhang Guan's strength is better than mine? This is impossible! He is just a track and field athlete, a newcomer!" Nalbandian immediately defended.
"Really? So if Zhang Guan doesn't play in front of the net, you will definitely be able to defeat him?" the coach continued.
"Of course I..." Nalbandian suddenly stopped talking. With Nalbandian's level, if he calms down and thinks about it carefully, how could he fail to analyze that the real gap between the two sides is not in restraint in play, but in hard power.
"Have you finally realized it? Don't you think it's incredible? How can a track and field athlete, a tennis rookie, and a young man who is only 21 years old have such great strength! Even his competition experience seems so rich!" Coach Then he said: "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit now that there are really miracles in this world! In tennis, you are all geniuses, but geniuses are still so insignificant in the face of miracles!"
…
On the TV, the Australian Open special program is playing.
“On the sixth match day of the Australian Open, there was a big upset in the men’s singles field. Zhang Guan, who relied on his sponsor’s wild card preliminary round, defeated Nalbandian, the No. 8 seed in the tournament, and advanced to the fourth round! The scores of the three games between the two sides were 6-3, 6-2, and 6-2 respectively. It can be said that this game was a complete victory for Zhang Guan!"
"Before the official start of the Australian Open, Zhang Guan was questioned. Some people felt that Zhang Guan was not qualified to participate in Grand Slam-level tennis events. Some even thought that Zhang Guan's participation was completely a business show for his sponsors! Later, Zhang Guan In his first two games, he easily defeated O'Roches and No. 28 seed Sebastian Grosjean, but he still did not calm people's doubts. But today, Zhang Guan defeated No. 8 seed Nalbandian, I think this is enough to prove that Zhang Guan is an excellent professional tennis player. I think no one will go back to question Zhang Guan’s qualifications now!"
The next moment, the TV was suddenly turned off, and then Chris Guccione's angry roar sounded in the room.
"Zhang Guan, what kind of luck did you have to defeat Nalbandian!" Guccione threw away the remote control fiercely, then put on his clothes. He was going to the gym to get better through exercise. to vent the frustration in my heart.
However, what Guccione didn't expect was that as soon as he walked out of the house, five or six reporters surrounded him.
"Mr. Guccione, Zhang Guan has entered the fourth round of the Australian Open. What do you think of this?"
"Mr. Guccione, you once thought that you were more suitable than Zhang Guan to get a wild card spot at the Australian Open. Do you still think so now?"
"Mr. Guccione, Zhang Guan defeated Roches and Grosjean before, and now he has defeated Nalbandian. If it were you who participated in the competition, would you be able to do this?"
"Mr. Guccione, may I ask..."
Guccione was stunned when faced with the rounds of bombardment from reporters, but when he heard the reporters' questions clearly, he felt like a clown, being mocked.
For a moment, Guccione became angry. He knew that he had become a joke in the eyes of these reporters. These reporters did not come to interview him sincerely, but to see him make a fool of himself, or to create a face. The villain who has been beaten and swollen!
This kind of slap-in-the-face plot, not only in novels, but also in the news, is extremely eye-catching to readers. It's just that people in this world want to be the one who slaps someone in the face, not the one who is slapped in the face.
…
Director Choi has been staying in Melbourne and will not return to South Korea until after the Australian Open.
The news that Zhang Guan defeated Nalbandian and entered the fourth round of the Australian Open made Director Cui extremely excited. The athletes sponsored by the group are making great progress in the competitions sponsored by the group. This is obviously the result that Director Cui wants to see most.
But while he was happy, Director Cui also noticed that in China, one of the group's most important markets, there were no reports of Zhang Guan participating in the Australian Open.
"I originally thought that Zhang Guan was only in the first round of the Australian Open, but I didn't expect that he had already reached the fourth round of the Australian Open and defeated No. 8 seed Nalbandian. If this trend continues, Zhang Guan will even It is possible to reach the top eight or even the top four. We can’t wait any longer, we need to report to the president and use the group’s public relations power!”
…
In a hotel in China, while drinking and drinking, He Yiming handed a piece of information to a man in his fifties.
"Brother Yan, I have a proposal here. You have to show it to me." He Yiming said.
The man named Yan is the chairman of a domestic shoe-making group. His group has also been listed on the market, and he can be regarded as a relatively well-known entrepreneur. At the same time, he was also a delegate to the General Assembly.
Chairman Yan put on his spectacles, read the title carefully, and said: "This is a proposal for athletes to freely develop commercial value! I am a shoe manufacturer, and the development of commercial value for athletes has nothing to do with my company. ah!"
"Brother Yan, to be honest, I just hope you can sign your name for me this time. In fact, I have found several people here." He Yiming whispered a few people's names, and they all had names. Representatives eligible to attend the meeting.
When he heard that it was just a signature, and there were several other co-signers, Chairman Yan immediately showed a very generous look: "Since Brother He has spoken, there is absolutely no problem!"
"Then thank you, brother! Come on, let me salute you!" He Yiming picked up the wine glass, but there was a sharp look in his eyes.
"Another one! I, He Yiming, am not that easy to bully! Just wait a few days, and there will be a meeting in one and a half months. If we submit this proposal, then it will be time for us to start counterattack!"
The fourth update has been delivered, please vote for me! Tomorrow is still a long holiday, so I will continue to break out the fourth update tomorrow!
