Almighty Coach

Wiggins is the top tennis coach in the United States. He has coached many Grand Slam champion players. Of course, his fee is also the highest. Twenty thousand dollars a week is considered a sky-high price among tennis coaches.

Wiggins dares to charge such a high fee because his training is really worth the price, especially for young athletes whose skills are not perfect, after Wiggins' guidance, they can often make leaps and bounds.

Chen Zhen is obviously the kind of young athlete whose skills are not perfect, and it can even be said that he has a lot of shortcomings. At least from the perspective of Coach Wiggins, the current Chen Zhen is really bad, and there are various problems in all aspects. Such loopholes.

After all, Chen Zhen is an athlete who grew up and trained in China. The domestic tennis training level and the overall tennis environment are far inferior to those in European and American countries. Therefore, compared with athletes from European and American countries, he still has a lot to improve.

For an athlete, the more shortcomings he has, the more areas he can improve, which means that he has enough room for growth. Every time this kind of athlete improves one of his own shortcomings, his strength will improve by one point.

Chen Zhen is like this. It is said that with his B+ talent, although it is difficult to win the championship of high-level competitions, he can still enter the Grand Slam. That is to say, he can rank around 100 in the world , but he has just entered the top 200, because in China, Chen Zhen's daily training effect is not good, which makes him have too many shortcomings that have not been improved.

After coming to coach Wiggins' training camp, Chen Zhen's main task is to accept coach Wiggins' transformation and get rid of his technical shortcomings.

Chen Zhen has never received the guidance of this kind of top tennis coach in the world. This opportunity is really precious for Chen Zhen. Every word and every word coach Wiggins said to him seems to be an imperial decree. Chen Zhen will Meticulous to implement, dare not have any negligence.

Coach Wiggins did not disgrace himself as the world's top tennis coach. Under his transformation, Chen Zhen made great progress every day. Under the guidance of one-to-one, Chen Zhen's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and he will take a big step forward every day.

Although Chen Zhen's talent is not top-notch, it's not bad either. Now that he has received the top-level training, it's as if he's completely reborn.

This is like a master jade carving master processing jadeite rough. If it is the top glass type, even if it has not undergone any processing, the jadeite rough stone is invaluable, and after being processed by a famous jade carving master, its value will increase. It is regarded as a priceless treasure.

If it is a piece of waxy seed, the grade is much lower than that of glass seed, and the rough jadeite is far less valuable than glass seed. , the value will also increase, although it is far inferior to the "glass species", but among the "waxy species", it is definitely valuable.

Chen Zhen does not have an S-level talent, not even an A-level talent. His B+ talent can be regarded as the waxy seed of emerald. But Coach Wiggins is obviously a top "jade carving master". After his polishing and processing, even waxy jadeite can be sold at a good price.

The four grand slams each year, the first to be held is the Australian Open, which is usually held in Melbourne, Australia, during the last two weeks of January each year.

The second is the French Open, which is held from May to June every year. The third is the oldest Wimbledon tennis tournament, which is held in June or July, and the last one is the US Open, which is usually held in August or September.

Since today is the Olympic year, all major sports events must make concessions for the Olympic Games. The French Open and Wimbledon will be held earlier, while the US Open will be postponed.

Before the start of the U.S. Open, the first thing to do is the qualifying match and the wild card match. The qualifying match is based on the world ranking to determine qualifications, and the wild card match is mainly for American players. After all, it is the US Open. Athletes, of course, need to take extra care.

The qualifying round is a single-elimination competition system. As long as you can win three rounds, you can advance to the main match, and as long as you lose one game, you will be eliminated. Therefore, for every player participating in the qualifying round, every game It's all life and death.

Chen Zhen's world ranking has just entered the top 200. Among the 128 athletes participating in the qualifying round, he is ranked in the middle and bottom positions. According to the qualifications of athletes in the Grand Slam, his opponent in the first game must be someone who is ranked lower than himself in the world. former player.

It was the first time for Chen Zhen to participate in the qualifying round of a Grand Slam. Chen Zhen seemed very nervous. He played very badly in the first set. However, Chen Zhen's opponent was obviously not participating in the qualifying round for a Grand Slam for the first time. He entered the game from the very beginning. As a result, Chen Zhen was easily defeated by his opponent 6-2.

In the men's singles of the Grand Slam, the main match is a best-of-five game, while the qualifying and wild card matches are a best-of-three game. That is to say, after losing the first set, the opponent has already won the match point.

Chen Zhen, who was cornered, finally broke out after losing a game in the second set, and finally managed to win the set with a score of 7-5.

The victory of this set also gave Chen Zhen confidence. In the third set, Chen Zhen obviously fully adapted to the game. He was no longer nervous, but fully displayed his true level, and then defeated 6-4. opponent.

The final big score was 2 to 1, and Chen Zhen successfully advanced to the second round.

...

In the second qualifying round, Chen Zhen's opponent was a Frenchman, and his ranking was also higher than Chen Zhen's.

But Chen Zhen won more easily than in the first round, two 6 to 4, with a total score of 2 to 0 to win.

Obviously, this French player is not very good at hard courts, but Chen Zhen is very good at hard courts.

Among the four major tennis tournaments, Wimbledon is on grass, French Open is on red land, Australian Open and US Open are on hard court. The difference is that the Australian Open court is made of plastic, and the speed of the ball bouncing off the ground will be slower, which is a slow hard court. On the other hand, the U.S. Open court is made of cement, covered with a layer of special material, and the speed of the ball bouncing off the ground will be slower, which is a fast hard court.

Domestic tennis courts are basically plastic courts, without grass and red soil. However, the plastic fields laid in China use acrylic mixtures of relatively average quality. Conscientious construction, two layers of coarse rubber particles are laid on top of two layers of fine rubber particles, and then the filling and texture layers are laid. If there is no conscientious construction team , that is, a layer of coarse rubber particles plus a layer of fine rubber particles, the kind of labor and materials that cost 50 yuan per square meter, the ground hardness is similar to that of cement floor.

Therefore, most domestic tennis players are good at playing hard courts, and they can quickly adapt to the Australian Open and the US Open. On the contrary, the French Open, because it is a red ground, has always been difficult to make a breakthrough.

...

In the third qualifying round, Chen Zhen's opponent was ranked 119th in the world. For him, this was an extremely difficult battle.

However, the 119th player in the world obviously did not pay attention to Chen Zhen, who was participating in the Grand Slam qualifying tournament for the first time. You must know that at Wimbledon a few months ago, Chen Zhen's world ranking did not even qualify for the Grand Slam qualifying round, so in the eyes of his opponents, Chen Zhen was just a passerby.

The player ranked 119 in the world obviously didn't realize that his real opponent was not Chen Zhen, but himself. The mentality of underestimating the enemy is his worst enemy!

Although Chen Zhen's world ranking has just entered 200, after the training of Coach Wiggins, he has been reborn, and his strength is not much worse than his opponent's, and "119" is too underestimating the enemy, as a result, in the first game. Defeated by Chen Zhen.

After losing the first set, "119" was a little out of balance. He was eager to get back the score, but in the end he made a lot of unforced mistakes, and these mistakes were also caught by Chen Zhen, who scored consecutively. .

After leading the score, Chen Zhen became more and more courageous, while the opponent became more and more anxious, and the result turned out to be one-sided.

Another 2-0, Chen Zhen won the third qualifying round and won a spot in the US Open!

On the sidelines of the competition, Dai Li sighed softly: "It's not wrong to spend two thousand dollars!"

Then, Dai Li looked towards the arena, and he saw Chen Jianguo.

At this time, Chen Jianguo was laughing and crying...

The dream of the Grand Slam for two generations has finally come true!
