Chapter 268 Improvement Direction
Two victories in two games and two challenge championships, which allowed An Sheng to gain a full 230 ATP points, which made his ranking jump directly to 148th.

This is a huge improvement, because he has now become the highest-ranked male tennis player in Huaguo.

At the same time, An Sheng also received a bonus of nearly [-] US dollars, which relieved his financial pressure to a large extent, and even, in this season, he basically didn't need to worry about funds anymore.

Generally speaking, at this time, An Sheng should have a good celebration and then rest for a while, but in fact, he has not stopped, and has already found the direction to move forward.

On the second day after returning to Lucheng, according to the usual practice, An Sheng and Coach Fortes, including his physical trainer Feng Enhao, gathered together to review the video of the previous game in order to find out the problems and make improvements.

Of course, these videos have been edited by Fortes, they are not so long, and they are more targeted.

An Sheng listened to Fortes' explanation and analysis honestly. Generally speaking, his technical movements have become complete and there are no problems, but in terms of tactics, he still has not reached the ultimate level. In other words, In his handling of some balls, he is not that sophisticated yet.

This is where Fortes proposed that he would improve in the future.

An Sheng, of course, nodded in agreement. Up to now, he has trusted Fortes very much, and he also agrees with his tactical philosophy.

But at this moment, he was a little absent-minded, thinking about other issues in his mind.

"Coach Fortes, do you have a video of the game between me and Lu Yanxun? I want the complete one."

"Of course, why, did you find the problem?"

Fortes was slightly taken aback, but then became happy.

In fact, as a coach, Fortes doesn't like An Sheng's character very much. He thinks An Sheng is too honest and has a good attitude, but he lacks initiative and rarely asks him questions.

As for arguing, that is even more impossible.

But in his coaching philosophy, asking questions, discussing them, and even arguing about them is the most effective way to improve.

Of course, in order to adapt to An Sheng's personality, Fortes has already made a lot of changes, which enabled him and An Sheng to gradually get in touch and reached a certain tacit understanding.

Therefore, this time, Fortes was very happy and even a little excited to see An Sheng proactively mention that he wanted to watch his match with Lu Yanxun.

Soon, he quickly found the game video, and the three watched it carefully again.

"Ann, do you have any ideas?"

An Sheng didn't answer, but instead asked another question.

"Coach, what do you think of Lu Yanxun?"

"Oh! Lu Yanxun? Are you interested in him? If that's the case, then you are asking the right person, because I have done a detailed investigation and analysis on him once."

"Really? Then what do you think of his style of play?" An Sheng was a little surprised, and then asked.

"Haha, if we want to talk about Lu Yanxun, we have to talk about you Asian players first."

"We all know that compared with European and American players, Asian players are often in poorer physical condition, but they also have their own advantages, that is, flexibility and good touch."

"Therefore, Asian players are often better at running. At the same time, if they are not suppressed by their opponents, their control of the ball's path and placement is relatively accurate."

"At present, the three most representative players in Asia, that is, Japan's Nishikori Kei, South Korea's Chung Hyun, and Taiwan's Lu Yanxun, they all have this characteristic."

"However, among the three of them, there are still differences. Among them, Nishikori and Zheng Xuan, they are actually more dependent on their physical conditions."

"But Lu Yanxun is different. He is the most typical Asian player. Because his physical condition is not better than other top Asian players, he can only be regarded as average."

"But why can he stand out? The key is that he has brought into full play the other two characteristics of Asian players."

"Its running ability, I think, needless to say, we can easily feel it in the video of the game just now."

"And his touch is actually shown in the game, but it is more subtle. If you don't look carefully, it is easy to ignore it."

"Hey, dear Ann, I think the reason why you are interested in Lu Yanxun is probably because you have already felt his extremely sharp touch?"

An Sheng could see that Fortes was a little excited at this time, but he didn't know why, and what he asked was right. It was because he felt Lu Yanxun's changes during the game that he wanted to understand , to analyze, to learn.

Seeing An Sheng nodding, Fortes shook his head.

"An, I know that your touch is actually not bad, but if you want to be like Lu Yanxun and reach his level, you may not be able to do it now."

"Why?" An Sheng asked a little seriously.

"Because your game experience is not enough!"

"An, actually you should understand that at present, you have not reached your own limit, so your progress is all due to your own progress."

"But Lu Yanxun's current technical style is aimed at others."

"Do you know what I mean?"

For a while, An Sheng really didn't quite understand what Fortes meant, but after thinking about it, he finally understood.

What he said actually meant this. An Sheng still has a lot of potential to be discovered now, so he doesn't need to target others.

And Lu Yanxun's changeable style of play was actually because he himself had no potential to tap, so he was forced to target other people.

To put it another way, the reason why Lu Yanxun is able to change is not only because he has a very good touch, but more importantly, he has extremely rich game experience. He knows when to speed up when facing different opponents. Also know when to slow down.

But An Sheng, he doesn't have that condition yet, and he doesn't have that need. He has to learn Lu Yanxun's style of play.

"Haha, An Sheng, you don't have to worry. As I said just now, I have carefully studied the player Lu Yanxun, so if you are interested, we can discuss it together. Perhaps we can find Come up with some style of play that suits you."

"it is good!"

Anson readily accepted Fortes' suggestion, which was actually his purpose.

From the very beginning, he didn't intend to directly copy Lu Yanxun's style of play, he was not that stupid, he knew that not all tactics were suitable for him, and what he had to do was to absorb the essence of them, and then slowly Slowly integrate into his tactical system, thereby enhancing his strength.

In addition, at this time, An Sheng was actually looking for a way to break through the bottleneck, but he hadn't found a clue yet, so he couldn't start.
