All-round Athlete

Chapter 368 Playing Basketball

At the beginning of August, a series of warm-up matches for the US Open had already started. The first one to start is the Washington Legg Mason Classic, but the prize money of this competition is only 600,000 US dollars, and it can't attract too many big-name players to participate.

Afterwards, there were two important events, namely the Masters in Montreal and the Masters in Cincinnati. These two events are ATP1000 events, and the total prize money is as high as 2.45 million US dollars, which is enough to attract big names such as Federer and Nadal. Players compete.

In the Montreal Masters competition, Djokovic performed well and finally defeated Federer in the final and won the championship. In the subsequent Cincinnati station, Federer overcame all obstacles and defeated the American player Blake in the final. , holding up the championship trophy. However, Federer's points still did not exceed Zhang Guan, he is still in the second position in the world, because Federer also won a championship and a runner-up in the two masters at the same time last year, so Federer's points did not change. Still under 6000 points.

Zhang Guan was absent from these two masters again. He returned to China. In addition to accepting various commendations and participating in sponsor activities, he also participated in a wedding, which was Dayao's wedding.

Dayao's wedding was held in a very low-key manner. Although the media had already received the news and was waiting at the hotel entrance, they didn't even get a picture of him. Moreover, not many people were invited to Dayao's wedding banquet. The relatives and friends of Dayao's family had already invited the guests the day before yesterday. This time, they mainly invited some friends from the capital. For example, the Basketball Association, men's basketball team, women's basketball team, and non-basketball friends like Zhang Guan.

Dayao's drinking capacity is not bad, but he can't stand the force of a group of big men in the men's basketball team, and Dayao's drinking is also true. When others get bored, he himself gets bored. As a result, the men's basketball team fought down the wheel , He got drunk very quickly. If he hadn't waited for a few old people to stop him, he might have to be carried back to his residence.

At the entrance of the hotel, the slightly older players, such as General and Bus, have all gone back, but the young men's basketball players still seem to be unsatisfied.

"It's only eight o'clock, and we're leaving now?" Sun Yue paused, and then said: "Why don't you go to Sanlitun, there is a newly opened bar there, and I know their boss very well."

"Don't spoil the child, we still have a minor here." Zhu Fangyu said with a smile.

"I've turned eighteen this year!" Chen Jianghua next to him continued, "I'm an adult now."

"With that skill, we might as well go to practice more. Find a place for a small 3V3 confrontation, how about it? If you lose, please have a late-night snack!" It was Wang Shipeng who spoke.

"Good idea! I just had a full meal, move a little bit to digest." Zhu Fangyu and Liu Wei immediately agreed.

The time of basketball games is usually in the prime time at night. For professional basketball players, they have long been accustomed to put their best state in this time period, so professional basketball players have long been accustomed to training at night, and some work hard. Players are still training even in the wee hours of the morning.

"But there are only five of us, one less for 3V3. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have let Zhang Qingpeng go, so call him back!" Sun Yue said.

"I don't think it's necessary to call Zhang Qingpeng back. There is a ready candidate." Liu Wei pointed to the inside of the hotel gate, just in time to see Zhang Guan coming out of the elevator.

"Zhang Guan? Ask Zhang Guan to make up the number? Can he play basketball?" Wang Shipeng asked with some uncertainty.

"Nonsense, among the male athletes, there is no one who can't play basketball." Liu Wei continued: "Even if they don't play professional basketball like us, they must have touched basketball when they were in middle school! And you Looking at Zhang Guan's height of 1.9 meters, how could it be possible to say that he never played basketball when he was in school!"

"I'm afraid that Zhang Guan's skills can't keep up with ours." Sun Yue said in a low voice.

"I'm not worried about that. Zhang Guan's physical fitness is notoriously strong. It's probably on par with those muscular guys in the NBA. The holder of the 100-meter world record and the world's most explosive power." Liu Wei continued

"I forgot this. He is also the world champion in the long jump. When it comes to jumping, we may not be able to compare with him. Maybe the shots are slower and he will be blocked by him." Zhu Fangyu continued: " After a while, just separate Zhang Guan and Xiao Chen. Brother Liu, you can fight with Zhang Guan, plus me, Dapeng, Sun Yue, and Xiao Chen, so you can also fight. "

"Alright, let's grab Zhang Guan to make up the numbers!"

...

Just as Zhang Guan walked to the door, he found several pairs of eyes staring at him. He turned his head to look and saw several champions of the men's basketball team standing there, looking at him.

Among the five members of the men's basketball team, Liu Wei and Zhu Fangyu had participated in the Athens Olympic Games, so Zhang Guan has known each other for a long time. Although Sun Yue and Wang Shipeng did not participate in the Athens Asian Games, Zhang Guan and them have met several times. Only the young Chen Jianghua , Zhang Guan is not very familiar with.

"Why are these guys staring at me?" Zhang Guan stopped subconsciously.

Liu Wei walked over first and said, "Zhang Guan, let's go, shall we play basketball?"

"Playing basketball?" Zhang Guan asked with some uncertainty.

"A small 3v3 confrontation, there are quite a few people here, just caught you." Liu Wei said with a smile: "It's just for fun, how about it, go or not?"

"Go!" Zhang Guan suddenly felt a little itchy, and he hadn't touched basketball for a long time.

Zhang Guan's height, whether in high school or college, is relatively tall, so in his previous life, Zhang Guan often played basketball, especially after going to college, when the pressure of studying is not so heavy, it is more It's time to play basketball. Although I don't play every day, I have to play three or four times a week. On the contrary, after work, from nine to five every day, there is not so much time to play basketball.

After reliving this time, Zhang Guan has always been busy. Training, competitions and participating in various business activities occupy most of his time. Zhang Guan has no time to play basketball. Now that Liu Wei said so, it is true. I really want to play it. Moreover, being able to play against the players of the national team made Zhang Guan feel very excited.

In terms of skills, Zhang Guan is an amateur of college students, far inferior to professional athletes, but since it is for fun, he is not so particular about it, entertainment is the main thing, and he will not pay attention to tactics like a real game .

"In the past, I wanted to bounce and dunk. It was difficult for me to dunk, but with my current body, I might be able to jump and dunk on the spot!" Zhang Guan couldn't help feeling excited.
