Chapter 160 Bad News

Taking advantage of Xu Lunkai and Qin Shidong's hostility towards him, An Sheng not only resolved an unnecessary trouble, but also got the high-intensity training he wanted,

Not only on this day, but also during the period after that, Qin Shidong seemed to be addicted, and would take the initiative to ask him to have at least one training match with him almost every day.

The reason for this, in addition to the strong sense of satisfaction he can get from the game, off-court factors are also crucial.

You know, An Sheng used to be able to fight Xiong Tengfei on a par with Xiong Tengfei, but now, he lost to Qin Shidong.

Because of this, some people deduced from this that Qin Shidong's strength had already surpassed that of their Shanghai city team's main player, Xiong Tengfei.

Undoubtedly, when he heard the news, even Qin Shidong himself knew that it was fake, but his heart was filled with uncontrollable joy.

In this way, he wants to compete with An Sheng even more. It seems that as long as he wins An Sheng, he can really prove that he is better than Xiong Tengfei.

Facing Qin Shidong's request, An Sheng naturally felt "heavy" and agreed to him very reluctantly.

It can be said that in this kind of competition, they each get what they need. Qin Shidong wants to satisfy his vanity, while An Sheng wants to receive high-intensity training.

What's more, after a long time, the two of them have formed a certain tacit understanding. Anyway, the victory of the game must belong to Qin Shidong, but the process of the game must be to compete with their forehand strength.

And through this incident, it can be easily seen that An Sheng is specially training his forehand ability, or in other words, he intends to improve his forehand hitting attributes.

This is still very different from his previous training methods.

Before this, his training basically did not specifically target a certain ability. The purpose of his training was to comprehensively improve his strength, but now, he has targeted it. He obviously wants to give priority to improving His forehand attributes.

The reason why he wants to make such a change is that the improvement of his current attributes is too difficult and requires too much training and too long time.

If he still adopts a comprehensive training method as before, then it must take a very long time for him to achieve an effective overall improvement.

But if he uses his current method to practice his forehand specifically, then he believes that he can improve it even more in a shorter period of time.

Of course, An Sheng himself knew very well that on the whole, it might be more time-consuming for him to use a single-targeted training method.

But the benefits he can get are also very obvious. Prioritizing the improvement of key attributes will allow him to show his strength faster.

In short, both have their own advantages and disadvantages, there is no absolute good or bad.

An Sheng felt that choosing the latter would be more helpful to his current situation, because the stronger the external strength he displayed, the more opportunities he would be able to get.

For example, the most clear is that he can go further in the game, so as to get better exercise and accumulate more game experience.

For another example, he may be able to rely on this external strength to win better training opportunities.

As long as the luck is not too bad, thinking about it, these opportunities should be able to make up for his loss.

The most important thing is that even if he is really unlucky, the worst result will only require him to spend more time, which he can accept.

And An Sheng's idea was quickly verified. At least for now, he is already half right, because, according to his current training situation, he only needs about ten days to get his correct Hand attribute, improve a little.

This kind of efficiency is already many times faster than before.

Of course, achieving such results is inseparable from Qin Shidong's active cooperation and An Sheng's unremitting efforts in private.

But when the time came to the end of March, the situation had some changes, because, in a few days, Xiong Tengfei, who went out to compete, was about to return to the team.

Qin Shidong's vanity is indeed very strong, but his IQ is still considered normal, or in other words, from the beginning, he actually knew in his heart that his strength is definitely not as good as Xiong Tengfei.

What's more, at this time, he also remembered that he had promised Xiong Tengfei to help take care of An Sheng while he was away, but now, how did he do it?

In this way, the news that Xiong Tengfei was about to return made Qin Shidong feel a little guilty, so he stopped his previous behavior and became much more honest.

As for Xu Lunkai, he just disappeared. I don't know if he asked for leave to go home or something else happened. Anyway, he didn't show up in the last two days.

For this reason, An Sheng felt a little pity.

Three days later, Xiong Tengfei returned as scheduled, but at the same time, he also brought two bad news to An Sheng.

The first bad news is that the result of his outing for the competition is very bad.

A total of three weeks of ITF hopeful matches means that Xiong Tengfei has three chances to participate in the competition, but he only made it to the main match once, and was eliminated in the first round of the main match.

In addition, the ITF hopeful event he participated in this time is only a 15K level event.

In other words, even if he broke into the main match, he still failed to get any ATP points, because according to the level of his event, he can only enter the second round of the game, that is, the top 16 of the event. Earn 1 ATP point.

This means that Xiong Tengfei's gains from going out to compete this time are almost zero.

For An Sheng, this is of course bad news, because it also indicates that he still needs a lot of time to grow up if he wants to enter the professional tennis world.

As for the second bad news, the impact on An Sheng may be more direct, that is, after returning to the team this time, it won't be long before Xiong Tengfei will have to go out again.

"Brother Xiong, you still want to go out to participate in the competition?"

Although An Sheng felt a little distressed about this, he knew very well that training with him was purely Xiong Tengfei's enthusiastic help, but it was not an obligation he had to fulfill.

Therefore, he can't take it for granted, and since Xiong Tengfei has his own arrangements, there is nothing wrong with it.

It's just that An Sheng was quite surprised. After all, Xiong Tengfei had just participated in a competition, and the result was not good.

"Yes, but don't get me wrong, this time, what I'm going to participate in is not a professional event."

"What game is that?"

"Sports Lottery Cup."

"Sports Cup?"

An Sheng froze for a moment, but it was an event he had never heard of.

Seeing An Sheng's reaction, Xiong Tengfei smiled wryly.

"An Sheng, you have to know that not every player can become a professional player. Just like me, participating in the ITF event this time made me completely give up. I will never participate in professional events again in the future. "

"Of course, this does not mean that I will retire here, but recognize the reality, let go of the fantasy in my heart, and devote myself to a field that is more suitable for me."

"For example, the Sports Lottery Cup this time is an independent domestic event and has nothing to do with professional events."

"And I think, probably only this kind of cup competitions, as well as large-scale domestic sports games, are my venues."

After listening, An Sheng frowned. He could clearly feel Xiong Tengfei's helplessness and frustration from his words, but should he choose to quit professional competitions just because of this?
An Sheng disagreed and didn't understand.

But at this time, he suddenly thought of Ye Shuhao and He Yiming.

The former, for his goal, persisted for a full ten years, and will continue to persist in the future, while the latter, like Xiong Tengfei, chose to give up.

However, He Yiming chose to give up at an earlier point in time, while Xiong Tengfei went further, but still gave up halfway.

Is their choice right or wrong?
An Sheng didn't have a clear answer, because the future is always unknown, maybe they chose to persevere, and all they got was nothing.

But the words will come back again, if you don't persevere, how do you know that you will definitely not succeed?
