Chapter 276 Zhang Guan's new coach (third shift)

At this time, Zhang Guan fell into a "confused" state again, because with Zhang Guan's lack of tennis knowledge, he didn't know what kind of player Gonzalez was. His understanding of Gonzalez was limited to " The nickname "Intelligence Cannon".

So Coach Joyce began to explain the most basic player science.

"Gonzalez has been learning to play tennis since he was seven years old. He once ranked No. 1 in the world in the junior group. He also won several men's singles championships when he was young. His best score after entering the profession is No. 7 in the world. And his Known for his fierce and tough style of play, it can be said that he is the most violent and brutal player among the top players in the ATP ranking."

"Gonzalez's serve is very good, and he can often hit the ball at a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour continuously, which is very similar to you." Coach Joyce looked at Zhang Guan, and then said: "This Australian Open Among the top seeded players, Gonzalez is the most ferocious serve besides the American player Roddick. Both Gonzalez and Roddick are players who are very good at serving vigorously and quickly, but the difference between the two is Roddick's serve is relatively stable, but Gonzalez's serve is not as stable as you. When he is not in good shape, his serving level may decline, but when he is in good shape, his serve is even better than Roddick. .”

"Another thing worth mentioning is that Netzarez's second serve is very strong. Our general players will seek stability in the second serve, but Gonzalez is different. His second serve is even harder than the first serve. The point is even more extreme, he may be the only player among the top players in the current ATP ranking whose second serve is not weaker than the first serve."

"Then what is the success rate of his second serve?" Zhang Guan asked.

"His way of fighting for the second serve will definitely cause the success rate of the second serve to be lower than that of ordinary players. However, it depends on the state of Gonzalez in the game. When the state is good, the second serve The success rate is also very high.”

"In that match, I can compete with Gonzalez one-to-two!" Zhang Guan said with a smile.

Zhang Guan has the experience book of the ball king Sampras, and Sampras has always been considered the best second serve player in the world. For a normal men's singles player, the speed of the second serve is 20 kilometers slower than the speed of the first serve, but Sampras's second serve is about the same speed as the first serve.

Sampras's second serve speed can reach more than 190 kilometers, which has reached the level of the average player's first serve. However, it is not the speed of Sampras's second serve that causes the opponent the most headache, but the accuracy of Sampras' second serve. Sampras maintains the speed of the second serve, and the accuracy of the second serve is not worse than that of the first serve. How many.

I only heard Coach Joyce continue to introduce: "In addition to serving, Gonzalez's forehand is also very strong. His forehand is as fierce and sturdy as his serving, but his backhand is relatively average. It is worth mentioning that Gonzalez is not very good at backhand slices. In addition, Gonzalez is also a player who is good at surfing the net, but his net level is not very top, and his movement ability is not very good. Not the fastest kind. So Gonzalez's surfing, mainly rely on a burst of force."

"It sounds like this Gonzalez has the same advantages and disadvantages!" Zhang Guan then asked: "Then what is the style of play that Gonzalez uses? It is the same as playing Nadal today. Lord?"

"Gonzalez is a bottom-line offensive player. His main style of play is to replace defense with offense. When he has an advantage, he will choose to attack. When he is at a disadvantage, he will still choose to attack. In short, he is constantly attacking. It is said that Gonzalez is an offensive madman. And when Gonzalez is playing, his offense is very sharp. In the game you saw today, Gonzalez was really crazy Now, even Nadal is not his opponent." Coach Joyce said.

Although Nadal is very young, his defense can be said to be the strongest among male professional players. He was able to break through Nadal's defense, and he beat Nadal 3-0, which is enough to show that Gonzalez has strength when he is in good form. How terrible.

"Then what should I do in the game? Attack Gonzalez's backhand?" Zhang Guan asked.

"In fact, the best way to deal with a player like Gonzalez is not to let him play out of form. As long as there is no good game form, Gonzalez can play 70 to 80% of his strength, but once he is in form Well, Gonzalez might be able to play 200% of his strength." Coach Joyce said.

At this moment, Zhang Guan's cell phone rang suddenly.

"It's Zhuge Wenbo. We all live in the same hotel, so we have to call to talk about anything, and it's not far from here." Zhang Guan answered the phone.

"Zhang Guan, are you with Coach Joyce now? Find a suitable place first, and I'll tell you later." Zhuge Wenbo said.

"What's so mysterious! Just say it directly, anyway, Coach Joyce can't understand Chinese." Zhang Guan replied.

"Yes, why did I forget this? He is a foreigner and can't understand Chinese. If I had known, I would have told you in the past, and it was a waste of my phone bill." Zhuge Wenbo smiled, and then said: "Tell me Good news for you, and at the same time I’m asking for your opinion, the tennis center has found a tennis coach for you.”

"Tennis coaches in China? I'm afraid they are not very reliable! Besides, with one more coach, advertising fees, sponsorship fees, and competition bonuses will have to be distributed later, which is another troublesome thing." Zhang Guan said.

"Although this coach was found by the tennis center, he is not a domestic coach. He was hired by the tennis center from abroad." Zhuge Wenbo said.

"Foreigner!" Zhang Guan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the tennis center would find a foreign coach for him.

"Americans, to be precise, Chinese-Americans!" Zhuge Wenbo continued: "The way of vocational education is the same as that of foreign coaches. We spend money to hire someone to teach you. As for advertising endorsement fees and bonuses, they don't participate. Share. But the annual salary is not low, it costs 400,000 US dollars a year."

"This price is really not low." Zhang Guan said.

Tennis coaches usually follow the players to play games everywhere. It can be said that throughout the season, the coach does not need to spend much money on food, clothing, housing and transportation. The 400,000 US dollars a year is basically a net profit. In the United States, the annual income of the middle class is 400,000 US dollars, even if the tax is deducted, it can be regarded as the upper middle class.

I only heard Zhuge Wenbo continue to say: "But I think he is really worth the money. And now that the Australian Open has started, the big-name tennis coaches have basically been hired away. It's not bad to find such a person." Easy, that is, the tennis center can find a suitable candidate so quickly. If you think it is possible, let him fly to Australia tomorrow!"

"Oh? When you say that, I'm really curious. Who is he?" Zhang Guan asked.

"The youngest Grand Slam champion in men's singles in the world!" Zhuge Wenbo paused, and said a name: "Zhang Depei!"

The third update has been delivered, and the fourth update is being written, and it may be later. I will post it after writing it before going to sleep. I suggest you watch it again tomorrow.
