Chapter 147 Someone Has Been Chosen
"Are you going too?"

This time, Xiong Tengfei was surprised, but after thinking about it, he shook his head.

"An Sheng, I'm afraid this won't work."

"Why? All participation expenses are borne by me."

Regarding the cost issue, An Sheng is very confident, because he is sponsored by the Guanhao Club, as long as it is a domestic competition, he does not have to worry about this issue at all.

"No, An Sheng, it's not a question of fees, and you're only on a temporary contract now, so it's impossible for the team to pay you the entry fee. It's just that, according to the team's regulations, if you want to participate, you must apply in advance. And the city team will sign you up."

"Can't I sign up myself?"

An Sheng was not convinced by this rule.

"Anyway, I can't do it. For you, go back and look at the contract carefully, or ask Lao Meng. It should be impossible, unless you don't want to stay in the team anymore."

"But that's not the point. The most important thing is that you can't register at all because you haven't registered with the International Tennis Association. Even if you have registered, with your current status and blank record, you I’m afraid it will be difficult to get a place to participate.”

At this time, An Sheng had already taken out his mobile phone, and immediately called Meng Xiangkang. After asking, it was as Xiong Tengfei said, that the contract did have clauses. During their Shanghai City team, he wanted to To participate in any competition, must be approved by the team.

"Damn it, there really is such a stipulation in the contract!"

An Sheng was very dissatisfied with this, but also very anxious.

He knew that once Xiong Tengfei went out to compete, his training would definitely return to the previous state, which was difficult for him to accept.

"An Sheng, I guess it must be because of the training that you are so anxious? Don't worry, I have already arranged for you. You will go to Qin Shidong to train in the future."

"Qin Shidong?"

Of course, An Sheng has heard of his name and met him, and knows that he, like his brother Tengfei, is a player in the adult group, but the problem is that it is impossible for him to cooperate with his training like Xiong Tengfei.

In other words, with Qin Shidong, he can only be a normal training partner, and it is simply impossible to achieve the training effect he expected.

"By the way, Brother Xiong, how long will it take for you to compete this time?"

"A few months."

"So long?"

"Hehe, An Sheng, you don't understand. Generally speaking, the lowest-level ITF hopeful competitions like this have very low prize money. Unless you can get the top few, otherwise, it must be a loss-making business."

"And if such low-level competitions have to be the same as those high-level competitions, and each stop needs to be changed, then the cost of participation will be too high for the contestants."

"That's why the ITF, that is, the International Tennis Federation, will make corresponding regulations. To hold a hope match, it must be held for three consecutive weeks."

Speaking of this, Xiong Tengfei paused, and then smiled wryly.

"An Sheng, to tell you the truth, even if you can sign up for the competition now, I don't want you to go with me. Do you know why?"

Of course An Sheng didn't know and shook his head.

"Because a player of my level, in the professional arena, even if it's just the lowest hope match, it's very difficult for me to make it to the main match. Even if I'm lucky and make it to the main match, I will basically be eliminated in the first round .”

"So, I think you, instead of going to the competition with me, it's better to stay in the team for training."

"No way, their level will be so high?"

An Sheng felt a little unbelievable. According to his previous thinking, if the attribute value is above 60, he should already be able to play professional games. That's why he decisively left the amateur game and wanted to participate in professional games.

Including just now, the reason why after he heard the news that Xiong Tengfei was going to participate in professional competitions, the idea that he also wanted to participate immediately popped up in his mind, because he felt that he was already qualified.

But now it seems that his strength is probably not enough.

But the problem is, if he doesn't go to the competition, he can only return to the previous training level. Take it easy and keep the patience you had before.

Thinking of this, An Sheng couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

And Xiong Tengfei also saw his emotions, and instead gave him suggestions.

"Ansheng, actually you don't have to be depressed, because compared to the Hope Competition, I think there is a type of competition that is more suitable for you."

"What competition?"

"Haha, An Sheng, don't forget your age! You are only 16 years old now, and in the formal events held by the ITF, youth events account for a large proportion."

"Also, obviously, compared to adult professional competitions, it is much easier to register for youth competitions. If you register in the name of our Shanghai City team, there will be basically no problem .”

"In addition, I think that with your current strength, although it may not be easy to win the championship, as long as you are not bad luck, it should not be too difficult to enter the semi-finals and finals."

"In this way, every time you participate in the competition, you can play a lot of games, so as to gain more competition experience."

"And this, as a foreshadowing before you actually enter professional competitions, I think it should be very helpful to you, and it is also your best choice at present."

It was said that An Sheng's eyes lit up. Indeed, as Xiong Tengfei said, with his current situation, rather than participating in professional competitions with his eyes smeared, it is really better to go to the youth group competitions and exercise for a while , in order to accumulate more experience in the arena, and make full preparations for truly entering the professional tennis world in the future.

But after thinking about it further, An Sheng discovered the problem again.

For one thing, he doesn't even have any experience in ITF competitions in the youth group, so it's probably not appropriate to go to the competition alone so hastily.

And in this Shanghai tennis team, he really couldn't find an experienced coach or player for the moment who could accompany him to the competition.

Secondly, according to Xiong Tengfei, the schedules of professional and amateur competitions are completely different. Under normal circumstances, there is only one game per day.

That said, even during games, he may have more free time.

And he didn't want to waste this time, but if he went to the competition alone, it was naturally unlikely that anyone would be able to train with him.

So, all in all, it would be better for him to find someone who has competition experience and can train with him to accompany him to the competition. This would be better.

But who should he turn to?

An Sheng was thinking about this question, and at the same time, his eyes kept scanning the venue until he saw a person, and he was sure that someone had been chosen!
