Chapter 185 Consciousness
"Hi, Ann, you play really well."

"Thank you, Mbah a Moute."

An Sheng responded politely, and he felt that the post-match greetings should stop here, but to his surprise, Mbah a Moute immediately made a request that surprised him very much.

"Ann, how's your schedule going? I mean, if you have time, I think we could train together for a while."

"Of course, if you don't mind, I can take you back to my club. The training conditions there are pretty good and should be able to meet your training needs."

Undoubtedly, An Sheng immediately agreed. He really needs a player with a similar level or a higher level to practice with him.

"Wow, that's great, but I plan to continue to participate in the ITF Hope Tournament in your Huaguo, so it may take me a long time, is that okay? Of course, I will pay for the rental venue. "

"No problem, Mbah a Moute, I welcome you to come to our club for training. As for the cost, except for your living expenses, I think the club will waive it for you."

"That's great, thank you very much for your help, then let's leave a contact information, and I will contact you after all your games are over."

"Haha, Bamoot, you're welcome. By the way, if you don't mind, how about we go to practice for a while now? By the way, I can treat you to dinner later."

"Now?"

"Of course, time is waiting."

"OK!"

This is definitely a great surprise for An Sheng, and it is also very good news for Ba Moute.

In fact, it was the first time Mbah a Moute came to China to participate in a competition. He didn't know much about Chinese people, and he knew almost nothing about Chinese tennis players.

Therefore, this time, the presumptuous request to An Sheng was just his attempt, but he did not expect to receive a very enthusiastic response.

Of course, it’s also fortunate that he met An Sheng. If he met other Huaguo players, such as those in the system, they don’t have such freedom, especially when facing foreign players, they probably don’t have the right to decide. , whether it can be brought back to the team.

But An Sheng is different. He is a free agent and has received the full support of the club. It is 100% confirmed that Mba Moute will go back to training with him, and no one will object.

Even coach Sun Binghua, after hearing the news, was very appreciative, and even contacted the club team actively to ask them to prepare accommodation, training venues and other matters for Mbah a Moute.

By the way, after some exchanges, An Sheng got a general understanding of some of Ba Moute's past experiences, and knew that his life was very difficult. It was not until he met tennis that his fate changed.

It was also because of tennis that he was brought to Europe and immigrated to Italy.

And he, who has experienced hardships, is naturally very grateful, and puts almost all his energy into tennis. Of course, he is also very active and hardworking in training.

In addition, the reason why he is still relatively rough in tennis skills is also because he is only 17 years old now, and it has only been two years since he came into contact with tennis. Time, not even a year.

It has to be said that Mbah a Moute's talent is actually very good. He has the usual strong physical fitness of black people. At the same time, his tennis touch is much better than that of ordinary black people.

This is also the main reason why he was picked and brought back to Europe.

But back to this event, after passing the first round of the race, An Sheng soon ushered in his opponent in the second round of the race, Whittington from Australia.

Whittington, 21 years old, is 1 meters tall and weighs 88 kilograms. He has comprehensive skills and is good at launching fast-paced offenses.

What needs special attention is that, unlike most players, he is a left-handed player.

This is very important, because in tennis, there is a big difference between left-handed players and right-handed players. There are obvious changes in the rotation of the ball.

More importantly, this is the first time An Sheng has encountered a left-handed player in a game. Even though coach Sun Binghua specially gave him relevant guidance before, he was still somewhat affected. In the choice and judgment, there are inevitably many mistakes.

However, what really determines the outcome of this game is the strength of both sides.

Compared with Mbah a Moute, Whittington's skills and tactics are obviously much more mature, and he has played in professional competitions for several years, and he has absolutely rich experience in competitions.

Not long after the start of the game, Whittington discovered Anson's weakness, or in other words, in his opinion, except for the forehand, all other aspects of Anson were his weaknesses.

Therefore, Whittington is obviously targeted, especially after he has basically controlled the rhythm of the game, and rarely gives Anson the opportunity to use a forehand counterattack.

Even if Ansheng forcibly used a forehand, such as a sideways attack, Whittington was also prepared, and was often able to resolve it, and hit a return that made Ansheng very uncomfortable.

In addition, An Sheng is not very familiar with his game, so there are more mistakes.

There is no suspense, this game was easily won by Whittington.

In the second set, the situation changed slightly. First, An Sheng had adapted to his left-handed racket, and second, it was because of An Sheng's game state, which gradually heated up.

But even so, An Sheng was still weaker than his opponent in terms of overall strength.

As a result, in the fifth game of the second set, Whittington still seized the opportunity, and then completed a break against An Sheng.

Afterwards, An Sheng fought very fiercely for a time, trying to use desperate methods to regain the disadvantage. He did achieve some results, but in the end, he still failed to restore the situation. It is a pity that he won 4-6 The score, lost this set, also lost the whole game.

In this game, although An Sheng lost, he also got some gains from it. He has some awareness of the ITF Hope Match.

He is basically sure now that if he wants to be competitive in the finals in the ITF Hope Tournament, then he must have the top strength of the 60th stage.

In other words, in the ITF Hope Tournament, those who can become seed players are basically at the peak of the 60 stage.

And as a player who still needs to play in the qualifying round, it is inevitable that he will meet a seed player, and he will definitely encounter it in the first or second round of the main match.

Therefore, if he wants to surpass his previous best result and have played in the second round of the main match, then he must at least have the strength to pose a threat to the seeded players.

In short, he must increase his forehand attribute to 69 points, so that he can have a little chance to achieve better results, otherwise, no matter how many games he participates in now, he will probably only It was futile.

And now, he has a very good opportunity to accomplish this goal, and he must firmly grasp it.
