In a barbecue restaurant near a university in Korea, there were not many customers at this time, and the few tables were occupied by students from nearby universities. A sports evaluation program was also playing on the TV, and a street interview session was going on at this time.
"Zhang Guan? Which Zhang Guan are you talking about? Is it the running Zhang Guan? Want to play tennis with our Li Hengze player? Oops... of course our Li Hengze will win!" an aunt said very optimistically.
"Li Hengze and Zhang Guan, then Li Hengze must win! Li Hengze was our world champion back then!" said a young girl. (The interviewee is talking about the Sydney Open champion, who is promoted as the world champion in South Korea)
"Senior Lee Hyung-taek is definitely better than Zhang Guan in terms of experience and skills, so it is natural to win. Senior Lee Hyung-taek, come on!" This is a young tennis player.
The screen turned back to the studio, and the host said: "It seems that our people are overwhelmingly optimistic about Lee Hyung-taek for the upcoming battle for 'Tennis Asia's No. 1'. Our reporters in front also interviewed Lee Hyung-taek's coach. Cui Heejun, let’s listen to what Coach Cui said.”
A picture of Coach Cui appeared on the TV screen, and the text below showed that this was a recorded interview. Just listen to Coach Cui say: "I think Li Hengze has a better chance of winning. First of all, Li Hengze has twelve years of professional tennis experience, which will bring great help to Li Hengze; secondly, Li Hengze's recent state is also very good." He is very good, he is very adaptable to the clay court playing style; in addition, we have to talk about our opponent Zhang Guan this time. He is a powerful player and is very good at creating opportunities on the net, but Zhang Guan's playing style is very unsuitable for the legal net. On the clay court, I think the entire tennis world has a consensus on this. The final point I want to make is that the French Open is the easiest game to be upset among the four Grand Slams. I also look forward to Lee Hyung-taek becoming the winner of this tournament. The biggest dark horse in the French Open.”
The screen turned back to the studio again, and the host said: "It seems that our player Li Hengze has found the right place at the right time. I believe that in the upcoming Australian Open, Li Hengze will be able to defeat Zhang Guan and become the No. 1 tennis player in Asia." position of one.”
"Hahahaha..." Liu Yong, a Chinese student who was eating, almost spat out his food. Then he said to his companion in Chinese: "Li Hengze defeated Zhang Guan? Don't they know that Zhang Guan is the Australian Open champion? Even Federer They were all defeated by Zhang Guan, why does Li Hengze want to defeat Zhang Guan?"
"You just came to South Korea to study. If you stay in South Korea for two more years, you will get used to it. They have this kind of character. They are always No. 1 in Asia and No. 1 in the world. I have long been used to it." My friend, who is also a Chinese student, continued: "South Korea is a small country and it is difficult to produce a few world-class sports stars. Lee Hyung-taek is still very well-known in South Korea. When he won the Sydney competition, it caused a sensation in South Korea as much as qualifying for the World Cup group. "
At this time, a Korean college student at the table next to him suddenly shouted: "Give me more meat for one person! I want to celebrate the victory for Lee Hyung-taek in advance!"
"Yes, to celebrate Li Hengze's victory, I will add two more people!" said a Korean student at another table.
Liu Yong frowned, but his heart seemed to be blocked by something.
"Eat, eat, eat hard!" Liu Yong clenched his fists unwillingly: "On the day of the competition, let's see if you can still eat!"
…
For example, there are three days until the French Open. Zhuge Wenbo also rushed to Europe.
"You don't even know that the sports media of China and South Korea are almost at war these days." Zhuge Wenbo said as he picked up a bottle of mineral water on the table, drank half of the bottle, and then said : "This war of words is more powerful than the football match between China and South Korea!"
"Is it because of me?" Zhang Guan asked.
"Nonsense, it's not just because of you. In this year's French Open, your first opponent is Lee Hyung-taek. The Koreans hyped this game as a battle for the 'No. 1 Tennis in Asia', and the Korean media also praised Lee Hyung-taek for winning. Our domestic media were definitely not convinced, so the two sides started a war of words!" Zhuge Wenbo continued.
"Li Hengze is ranked 42nd in the world. He has only won one ATP championship after playing tennis for more than ten years. Where do Koreans get their confidence?" Zhang Guan asked in surprise.
"Korean people say that Lee Hyung-taek has more experience in competitions and has very comprehensive skills. Physically, Asian players will suffer when facing European and American players. But in this game, both of you are players from Asian countries, so Lee Hyung-taek has no physical disadvantage." And you use fast serving and net play as your main scoring methods, which are not suitable for the clay court of the French Open. In addition, you have only won one tennis championship, so in terms of the number of championships, you and Lee Hyung-taek are both at the same level. We are on the same starting line." Zhuge Wenbo said.
"I was the champion of the Australian Open, a Grand Slam. Lee Hyung-taek only cares about being the champion of the Sydney Tour. It should be just an ATP 250 event! These are the two highest and lowest ATP tournaments. There is no such thing. Comparability." Zhang Guan said with some dissatisfaction.
Zhuge Wenbo shrugged: "But in the eyes of Koreans, Li Hengze is the world champion."
"What did Li Hengze himself say? Did the media say anything? Doesn't he also think he can defeat me?" Zhang Guan asked.
Zhuge Wenbo nodded honestly: "From the news revealed by the Korean media, Li Hengze is not only going to defeat you, he is almost going to win the French Open!"
Zhang Guan made a weird expression: "Well, let's use the cruel reality to wake up these Koreans! Now that I have mastered a new fighting method, I can just use this Li Hengze to sacrifice the flag!"
…
Coach Cui Heejun looked at Li Hengze in front of him and said: "Hengze, your opponent in the first round is Zhang Guan. This is a lottery for you! Zhang Guan can be said to be the top seeded player, oh no, It should be said that among all the players, he is the player with the least experience in clay court games. He has never participated in a game on clay courts! Maybe he simply cannot adapt to the rhythm of clay court games!"
Li Hengze nodded: "I originally thought that Zhang Guan would participate in the Masters before the French Open to warm up, but he did not participate in any of the three clay court Masters! I didn't expect that he gave up the opportunity to adapt to the clay court. "
"Zhang Guan gave up the opportunity to adapt to the clay court, which is equivalent to giving us a chance! Moreover, the high-speed serving and net play that Zhang Guan is good at are not applicable at all on the clay court. Zhang Guan's two most powerful weapons have been It has lost its effect. Hengze, come on, beat Jang Guan! As long as you defeat Jang Guan, you will be the number one men's tennis player in Asia, and you will be the national hero of our Republic of Korea!" Coach Cui said excitedly.
Li Hengze was also very excited. He waved his fists hard: "I want to defeat Zhang Guan!"
