Tennis campus promotion activities are a very important task for the Tennis Center this year. Tennis is a relatively new sport in China. Although many universities and even middle schools have established tennis courts, there are very few people who actually play tennis. The most important reason is that everyone does not understand this sport, so Won’t even try.
It is definitely unrealistic to promote tennis to primary and secondary schools. The academic pressure in primary and secondary schools is so heavy. 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-academic matters, so The university became the only place for tennis campus promotion.
When the Tennis Center drew up this plan last year, it was still worried about whether it could be implemented smoothly. But now that Zhang Guan has participated in the Australian Open Grand Slam, it has instantly increased the attention of this event, no matter which school he goes to. , students flocked to the event, and the entire promotion plan was carried out smoothly.
…
The Indian Wells Tennis Masters in March was full of big names. Among the top ten players in the world, all except Zhang Guan participated in this tournament.
Federer received a bye in the first round and was eliminated by Argentine veteran Guillermo Canas in the second round, while Nadal successfully advanced to the finals, and finally defeated Djokovic in the finals and won the Indian Wells Masters Champion. At the same time, Djokovic also ranked tenth in the world with 600 points as the runner-up, and Zhang Guan was pushed to the 11th place in the world.
In the following Masters tournament in Miami, Djokovic successfully defeated Nadal in the semi-finals and avenged his defeat in Indian Wells. Then in the final, Djokovic defeated Nadal. He defeated the Argentine veteran Canas who was in good condition 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 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 participated in tennis campus promotion activities. In fact, Zhang Guan had no intention of participating in these two Masters tournaments, because according to the plan, Zhang Guan had to undergo special tennis training for a long period of time.
Each of the top professional tennis players has their own unique technical characteristics. In fact, these so-called technical characteristics are actually the style of play that is most suitable for this kind of professional athlete. Athletes choose a style of play that suits them, then train and become familiar with it, and slowly develop this style of play into their own unique means. This is a true professional athlete.
For example, when people talk about playing in front of the net, they will think of Sampras; when talking about baseline offense, people will think of Federer; when talking about baseline defense, people will think of Nadal; when talking about all-around play, people will think of Djokovic. It’s not that these top athletes don’t know how to use other playing styles, it’s that they have used a playing style that suits them best to the extreme and achieved the number one ranking in the world.
Although the current Zhang Guan is studying the experience books of Sampras and Federer, the two world champions, they belong to others after all. The current Zhang Guan still belongs to the "use doctrine", or he learns now and sells it. In fact, he He hasn't really created a style of play that suits him yet, and in the days to come, what he has to do is to find a style of play that suits him best and create a "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 cannot be sloppy in the slightest. The championship team is also willing to spend money. In addition to Zhang Guan and coach Zhang Depei, they also hired specialized sparring partners, physical trainers, nutritionists, chefs, etc., as well as specialized doctors who regularly inspection.
There are specialized companies in the United States that can do all this in a package, and some well-known coaches will also have specialized coaching teams. In short, as long as the athletes are willing to pay, everything will not be a problem.
…
On the court, coach Zhang Peide is explaining tactics to Zhang Guan.
Just listen to what Coach Zhang said in half-baked Chinese: "The core of the tactics I designed actually only has one word, and that is 'run'!"
When Zhang Depei said this, he said sheepishly: "My Chinese is not very good, so I'd better continue speaking in English."
"Let me talk about the tactics I used in the past. At that time, it was the era of Sampras. Playing in front of the net was the mainstream style of tennis. I think you can also use playing in front of the net, so I must I know that playing 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 my serve was not powerful, so I could only use more running. And more flexible steps to make up for the lack of strength. Generally speaking, it is just that I can run more than those players who play in front of the net."
"With the decline of net play and the rise of baseline play, modern athletes are not as active as I was at that time. On the contrary, the serve is becoming more and more fierce, the ball speed is getting faster and the ball is spinning more and more. The higher. These are things that didn’t exist in the era when I played. You know, at that time, even Sampras rarely hit spin balls, they were all straight.”
Coach Zhang said, sizing up Zhang Guan, and then said: "You are the most physically talented athlete I have ever seen, with sufficient strength, fast movement, and flexible footsteps. So I want you to try my ideal A set of tactics.”
"Ideal tactics?" Zhang Guan was a little surprised. The three words "ideal" made Zhang Guan worried whether Coach Zhang would regard himself as a guinea pig in the experiment.
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 tactics are perfect! Of course, I have tried this tactics on myself, but my body My talent is not good. Although my mobile ability is good, my forehand strength is not enough, so I can't bring out the effect of this set of tactics. I have waited for so many years and finally waited for you. You are also a yellow person with yellow characteristics. You are flexible, and your physical talent is the best in the world. Combined with this set of tactics, you can definitely defeat invincible opponents in the world!"
Hearing what Coach Zhang said, Zhang Guan became curious and asked, "Then what kind of tactics is this?"
