tennis giant

Chapter 66

Five days passed in a flash.

And during these five days, An Sheng really trained desperately, just to raise his attribute value to 59 points as much as possible.

Fortunately, up to now, he has basically achieved this goal. His physical fitness and his usual tennis skills have reached the highest critical point of the 50 stage.

Only volleys in front of the net, small balls, etc., he does not often use technical attributes, and is still at the primary stage of level 50, but in general, this has not affected An Sheng's performance.

In summary, everything is ready, just waiting for the game to start.

After observing An Sheng's training, coach Sun Binghua was very satisfied with him.

He originally thought that he was a coach who put a lot of emphasis on training and training intensity, and he was afraid that An Sheng would not be able to hold on in the future, but now it seems that the training intensity he originally preset may not be able to meet An Sheng's needs. We must continue to strengthen.

In addition, Sun Binghua was taken aback by the speed of An Sheng's progress.

In his decades of tennis coaching career, he has never met a student like An Sheng. His daily changes are so great that he can almost clearly observe it with his naked eyes. without using any measuring instruments.

Fortunately, Xia Yutong appeared in time, and shared Ansheng's test records for the past two months with coach Sun Binghua, letting him know that Ansheng has not always been able to improve at such a terrifying speed. , he will enter the bottleneck period.

After knowing this, coach Sun Binghua breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he did not regard An Sheng as an alien monster. However, he was still amazed by An Sheng's growth.

In order to reserve physical energy, An Sheng rarely stopped his training around five o'clock in the afternoon that day, and was going back to the dormitory to take a good rest for the next day's game.

Coincidentally, at this time, Xia Yutong came to look for him. Fortunately, he hadn't left yet, otherwise, the two of them would have missed it.

"Sister Tong, why do you want to play a game with me?"

It was An Sheng who saw Xia Yutong carrying a special tennis bag and subconsciously thought that she wanted to play with him. Of course, the game between them must be entertaining.

And Xia Yutong shook her head with a smile. She knew very well that An Sheng's current strength had already surpassed her by too much, so how could she make herself unhappy?

"An Sheng, take a look at this bag."

"Ok?"

An Sheng was a little surprised, but since she said so, she walked over to have a look.

I have to say that this tennis bag is very professional. In the middle is a racket storage layer with heat insulation material. The volume is large enough to hold five or six tennis rackets. The side pockets on both sides have a relatively large space and can be folded down. compartment, plus a separate accessories pocket, adjustable handles, and a double-shoulder strap mechanism.

And its unconventional curved shape and black and red color scheme also make it very conspicuous and beautiful.

"Sister Tong, this is the professional tennis bag of the Hyde brand. It looks very good!" An Sheng said with a smile with appreciation.

"Hehe, as long as you like it, this is for you."

"Give it to me?"

An Sheng was very surprised. Looking at Xia Yutong, he couldn't believe it.

"Yes, it is for you. Tomorrow, you will participate in your first official tennis match. I think this is very meaningful, so I want to give you a gift as a souvenir."

An Sheng really didn't expect it, and was a little moved.

"Thank you, Sister Tong, I like this bag very much."

But, after saying this, the two of them looked at me and you, looking a little embarrassed.

In fact, both of them are boring people, not very good at chatting, especially this kind of small talk that needs to find topics, neither An Sheng nor Xia Yutong are very good at it.

But just when An Sheng was trying to find a topic, trying to resolve the embarrassing situation, someone came to him again, and it was none other than his sister An Ran and Chen Feiyang.

"Hey, An Sheng, the game is coming up tomorrow, you don't want to practice anymore, do you? Let's go, I'll take you out Hapi Hapi."

"Ouch, why did you hit me!"

But before Chen Feiyang finished speaking, An Ran had already unceremoniously rewarded him with a "heavy punch", almost knocking him out.

"An Sheng is not like you, who knows how to play all day long!"

"Who said that? I just mean it. The main reason is to let An Sheng relax so that he can perform better in tomorrow's game. Do you know you? With such violence, I'll see how you can get married in the future!"

"I want you to take care of it!"

Hearing their noise, An Sheng couldn't laugh or cry. He turned his head to look at Xia Yutong. She also had a headache, so the two looked at each other and smiled.

But today I don't know what happened. There are quite a few people who came to An Sheng, and there was another wave at this time.

"Hey, An Sheng, you are so lively."

"Lao Luo, Lao Chen, why are you here?"

Also coming were An Sheng's closest acquaintances, Luo Zhilin and Chen Haoyu.

Needless to say, Chen Haoyu is now An Sheng's training partner and plays with An Sheng every day. The two are already very familiar with each other.

As for Luo Zhilin, he often took the initiative to come to An Sheng to practice, and he was not stingy, sharing a lot of playing experience with An Sheng, which was very helpful to An Sheng.

Immediately, An Sheng deliberately introduced the two people to each other, and they will be regarded as friends in the future.

"An Sheng, I wanted to tell you about the game before the game, but since Mr. Chen is here, I don't need to say more."

After the last incident, Luo Zhilin actually already knew the identity of Chen Feiyang. At this moment, he felt that since he had already said hello, it would be inappropriate to stay here, so he planned to leave.

However, An Sheng felt that compared to Chen Feiyang, Luo Zhilin was more reliable, and listening to his competition experience would definitely be more helpful to him.

But he hadn't opened his mouth to keep people, but someone spoke for him.

"I said, you old Luo, don't just call me Feiyang. Since you are An Sheng's friend, of course you are also my friend Chen Feiyang."

"And Haoyu, I have also watched a lot of your games, your style of play is very distinctive."

"It just so happens that you are all going to participate in the competition tomorrow, so I will treat you today. Let's get together and relax. By the way, I have to ask you to tell An Sheng about the competition. You know, he knows about training all day long. Don't even know the rules of the game by then, it would be too embarrassing."

Seeing what Chen Feiyang said, Luo Zhilin and Chen Haoyu naturally would not refuse.

Of course, the place where they meet is still in the private room of the club restaurant.Chen Feiyang really wanted to take them out happily, but he had no choice. With An Ran and Xia Yutong, the two "Tigresses", how could he have the guts?

It is also thanks to this gathering, otherwise, An Sheng might be surprised at tomorrow's game scene, because although these amateur events organized by CTA are relatively formal, they are different from real professional tennis players. Compared with the competition, its rules are very different.

The first is the lottery, which is the number of players in the main game.

Generally speaking, professional events adopt a fixed lottery system, or 32, or 64, but in the amateur events held by CTA, the lottery is not fixed, but the corresponding arrangement is made according to the number of applicants , up to 128 bits.

The second is its format.

In the professional competition, it is generally divided into the main competition and the qualifiers, but in the CTA amateur competition, there is no qualifier, but divided into the first stage of the group round robin, and the second stage of the knockout competition.

This point is very special. If An Sheng hadn't been told by someone, he really wouldn't have known that in the first stage of the game, it was actually going to be divided into groups and then singled out.

Finally, in the CTA competition, the 6-game win-first-to-draw system is adopted, which is the same as the system they used in the previous trials.

In addition, there is another rule, which An Sheng already knows, but it still needs to be explained, that is, during the game, if there is a continuous game, then the players can rest for up to 20 minutes.

"Old Luo, it's really thanks to you who introduced the rules to me. Otherwise, I would definitely be caught in the ring tomorrow."

"Hehe, it's nothing. These rules are introduced in detail on the CTA official website. I also suggest that you go back and take a closer look at that time. After all, this is your first time participating in a CTA event. If you understand it clearly, you are always right. .”

"You're right, I'll take a closer look later."

An Sheng's attitude is very serious, and this has actually penetrated into some thoughts in his heart. Perhaps he will participate in CTA competitions in the near future.

Of course, this matter is not yet certain.

If he can quickly improve his strength to the professional level, then An Sheng will naturally not need to participate in amateur competitions, but if his strength does not grow so fast, then he may indeed temporarily devote himself to CTA's amateur competitions.

But when An Sheng was thinking about these things and was a little lost, Luo Zhilin gave him a very important reminder.

"An Sheng, in fact, I came to you today not just to introduce you to the rules of the game, but most importantly, I want to give you a reminder."

"Although this competition is only the lowest-level gold sub-station in the CTA competition, it is completely different from the trials held in our club."

"I don't know, have you ever heard a word."

"What?"

An Sheng was quite curious, including Chen Feiyang and the others, who were very interested and listened carefully.

"The stadium is like a battlefield!"

An Sheng froze for a moment, a little confused, but Luo Zhilin then gave his explanation.

"An Sheng, tennis is a competitive sport. In a match, the players on both sides are enemies. They have to fight to the death and win or lose."

"In the competitions held in our club, because everyone knows each other, even if they don't, they have basically seen it. Therefore, in the competition, there is rarely that desperate feeling."

"But when it comes to the actual arena, no one cares who you are, and the desire to win will be particularly strong. You don't even think about who the opponent is. All you think about is defeating the opponent. ! Use any method!"

"I know, you don't quite understand it now, but that's all I can say. I think, you will only understand this atmosphere when you actually step on the field."

"In short, I hope that you will be mentally prepared. Don't panic in any situation. Believe in yourself and your strength!"

After listening, An Sheng nodded seriously, but just like Luo Zhilin said, he still can't understand the feeling he said.

However, in his heart, he was already looking forward to it.
