At this time, Zhang Guan fell into a state of "confusion" again, because with Zhang Guan's lack of tennis knowledge, he had no idea what kind of player Gonzalez was. His understanding of Gonzalez was limited to " The nickname "Intellectual Cannon".
So Coach Joyce started to explain the most basic player science.
"Gonzalez has been learning to play tennis since he was seven years old. He once ranked first in the world in the junior group. He also won several men's singles championships as a youth. After entering the profession, his best result was seventh in the world. And his He is known for his fierce and sturdy playing style, and it can be said that he is the most violent and brutal player among the top players in the ATP rankings."
"Gonzalez's serve is very good, and he can often continuously hit the ball with a speed of over 200 kilometers per hour. This is very similar to you." Coach Joyce looked at Zhang Guan and then said: "This Australian Open Among the seeded players, apart from the American player Roddick, Gonzalez is the one who serves the most fiercely. Gonzalez and Roddick are both players who are very good at serving hard and fast, and the difference between the two is Roddick's serve is relatively stable, but Gonzalez's serve is not as stable as yours. When he is not in good condition, his serving level may decline, but when he is in good condition, his serve is even better than Roddick's. .”
"It's also worth mentioning that Netsarez's second serve is very strong. Most of us players will strive for stability on the second serve, but Gonzalez is different. His second serve is even harder than the first serve, and he is not willing to let go. The point is even more extreme, he may be the only player among the current top ATP players whose second serve is not weaker than his first serve."
"So what's the success rate of his second serve?" Zhang Guan asked.
"His way of fighting for the second serve will definitely cause the success rate of the second serve to be lower than that of ordinary players. However, it also depends on the state of Gonzalez in the game. If the state is good, the second serve will The success rate is also very high.”
"Then during the match, I can compete with Gonzalez one-on-one!" Zhang Guan said with a smile.
Zhang Guan has the experience book of the world champion Sampras, and Sampras has always been considered the best player in the world at the second serve level. For a normal men's singles player, the ball speed of the second serve is 20 kilometers slower than the ball speed of the first serve, but Sampras's second serve is almost as fast as the first serve.
Sampras' second serve can reach a speed of more than 190 kilometers, which is as fast as an average player's first serve. However, the biggest headache for opponents is not the speed of Sampras' second serve, but the accuracy of Sampras' second serve. While maintaining the speed of Sampras' second serve, the accuracy of his second serve is no worse than that of his first serve. How many.
Just listen to Coach Joyce’s introduction: “In addition to serving, Gonzalez’s forehand is also very powerful. His forehand is as fierce and powerful as his serve, but his backhand level is relatively average. Well, it is worth mentioning that Gonzalez is not very good at backhand slices. In addition, Gonzalez is also a player who is relatively good at the net, but his skills in front of the net are not very top, and his mobility is not very good. It’s not the fastest kind. So Gonzalez mainly relies on a burst of power to hit the net.”
"It sounds like this Gonzalez has as many advantages and disadvantages!" Zhang Guan then asked: "So what is the style of play Gonzalez uses? Just like when he played against Nadal today, the offense is Lord?"
"Gonzalez is a baseline offensive player. His main style of play is to use offense instead of defense. When he has an advantage, he will choose to attack. When he is at a disadvantage, he will still choose to attack. In short, he will continue to attack. It is said that Gonzalez is an offensive madman. And when Gonzalez is in good condition, his offense is very sharp. In the game you saw today, Gonzalez was really crazy. Well, even Nadal is no match for him." Coach Joyce said.
Although Nadal is very young, his defense can be said to be the strongest among current men's professional players. He can break through Nadal's defense and beat Nadal 3-0, which is enough to show that Gonzalez has the ability when he is in good condition. How terrible.
"Then what should I do in the game? Attack Gonzalez's backhand?" Zhang Guan asked.
"In fact, the best way to deal with a player like Gonzalez is not to let him get out of shape. As long as he is not in good game shape, Gonzalez can only exert 70 to 80% of his strength, but once he is in good shape, When things get better, Gonzalez might be able to perform at 200% of his strength," Coach Joyce said.
At this moment, Zhang Guan's cell phone suddenly rang.
"It's Zhuge Wenbo. We all live in a hotel. We have to call to talk about anything. It's not far to walk over." Zhang Guan answered the phone.
"Zhang Guan, are you with Coach Joyce now? Then find a suitable place first, and then I'll tell you." Zhuge Wenbo said.
"What a mysterious thing! Just say it directly, Coach Joyce doesn't understand Chinese anyway." Zhang Guan replied.
"Yes, why did I forget this? He is a foreigner and can't understand Chinese. If I had known earlier, I would have gone over to tell you and wasted my phone bill." Zhuge Wenbo smiled and then said: "Tell me I have good news for you, and I also want to ask for your opinion. The tennis center has helped you find a tennis coach."
"Domestic tennis coaches? I'm afraid they are not very reliable! And with one more coach, advertising fees, sponsorship fees and competition bonuses have to be distributed, which is another troublesome thing." Zhang Guan said.
"Although this coach was hired by the Tennis Center, he is not a domestic coach. He was hired by the Tennis Center from abroad." Zhuge Wenbo said.
"Foreigners!" Zhang Guan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the tennis center would find a foreign coach for him.
"Americans, to be precise, Chinese Americans!" Zhuge Wenbo continued: "The vocational education method is the same as that of foreign coaches. We spend money to hire others to teach you. As for advertising endorsement fees and bonuses, they do not participate. Share. But the annual salary offered is not low, it’s US$400,000 a year.”
"This price is really not low." Zhang Guan said.
Tennis coaches usually follow players around to play matches. It can be said that throughout the season, the coach does not have to spend any money on food, clothing, housing and transportation. US$400,000 a year is basically a pure profit. In the United States, the middle class has an annual income of US$400,000, even after tax is deducted, which is considered the upper middle class.
Just listen to Zhuge Wenbo continue to say: "But I think they are really worth the money. And now, the Australian Open has started, and the big-name tennis coaches have basically been hired away. It is quite difficult to find such a person." It’s easy, that is, the Tennis Center can find a suitable candidate so quickly. If you think it’s possible, let him fly to Australia tomorrow!”
"Oh? When you say that, I'm really curious. Who is he?" Zhang Guan asked.
"The youngest men's singles Grand Slam champion in the world!" Zhuge Wenbo paused and said a name: "Zhang Depei!"
The third update has arrived, and the fourth update is being written. It may be a little later. I will wait until it is finished and posted before I go to bed. I suggest you watch it tomorrow.
