Chapter 372 The No. 1 Seed at the US Open

"Zhang Guan's hands are very hot. In the layup just now, Wang Shipeng and Sun Yue interfered with him at the same time. He could score. This is not the performance of an amateur basketball player at all. I think it is a player in the national team. Basketball is nothing more than that!" Liu Wei said.

Zhu Fangyu lowered his voice: "Let's pay less money. People in our national team have as much weight as possible. Don't you and I know? Domestic players' layups are not as fierce as Zhang Guan's. This kind of layup is completely American. Law, kind of like..."

Zhu Fangyu lowered his voice and said a name: "Wade!"

"The 'Flash' Wade of the NBA? You are too exaggerated! If you can't see someone who is fast enough to break through, let's say it is Wade!" Liu Wei said.

Zhu Fangyu shook his head: "Wade and Zhang Guan are about the same height, Wade does look stronger physically, but considering that Zhang Guan is a sprinter, his muscles must be stronger, maybe the difference in weight between the two is not that big , Zhang Guan’s antagonism will not be worse than Wade’s. In terms of speed and explosive power, Zhang Guan is definitely not weaker than Wade, or even stronger, and Zhang Guan’s layup is very accurate! It is really comparable to Wade’s breakthrough Very similar."

Liu Wei thought for a while, and it seemed to be the case. He nodded silently, and then said, "It's a pity that Zhang Guan doesn't come to practice basketball! If he comes to even play basketball, he may become our Chinese leader." The 'Flash'! At least with his speed, there is no need to worry about being pressed by the audience."

Zhu Fangyu continued to speak softly: "Why don't you persuade Zhang Guan to come to our men's basketball team to play basketball?"

"It's impossible for Zhang Guan to play basketball! He is the world's number one flying man, why should he come to play basketball!" Liu Wei continued: "Even if he is willing to come, playing basketball is not something that can be done in a day or two. How can it take five or six years to train a qualified professional player? Even if it is the CUBA, how many players in the college league can enter the CBA? Like us, which one did not practice in sports school when we were young? Basketball."

"Dayao told me that Zhang Guan is different from us, he is a real genius! You see Zhang Guan switched from track and field to tennis, won three Grand Slams in a row, and is now ranked No. 1 in the world , Maybe if he comes to play basketball, he will be able to reach the level of a professional athlete in three to five months!" Zhu Fangyu continued: "Is it possible? Meat! And I think Zhang Guan also likes playing basketball.

...

"Really not going to play basketball?" Zhu Fangyu confirmed again.

Looking at Zhu Fangyu with a serious face, Zhang Guan smiled and shook his head. He knew that Zhu Fangyu sometimes had a temper, but he was actually a very enthusiastic person.

"It's fine if you want me to play basketball, but I don't want to start from the bottom, so I have to be the main force of the national team anyway!" Zhang Guan said with a half-joking smile.

"The main force of the national team? It doesn't count if I said it!" Zhu Fangyu seemed to have not heard Zhang Guan's joke, he sighed, and then said happily: "Well, whenever you want to play two-handed basketball, you can come to him. me!"

On the other side, Wang Shipeng, who was packing his things, pressed his DV, but there was no response.

"It looks like the battery is out!" Wang Shipeng threw the DV into the bag directly.

...

On August 25th, the World Athletics Championships was held in Osaka, Japan. At this time, Zhang Guan had already flown to New York, USA to prepare for the US Open starting on August 27th. Naturally, he would not go to Osaka to participate in the World Athletics Championships.

Without Zhang Guan's participation, the national track and field team has lost a lot of glory, and it has lost several gold medals. Fortunately, Liu Fei is strong enough. He won the men's 110-meter hurdles championship, achieving the Olympic champion, the world championship champion, the world champion The first person to hold the record in one body. This is also the only gold medal won by the national team at this World Athletics Championships.

However, the Athletics Association and even the top executives of the Athletic Federation are not satisfied with the results of the national team. In recent years, the development of domestic track and field has been smooth, so both the official and the private sector have great expectations for this World Track and Field Championships. But a gold medal is obviously far from everyone's expectations. If Liu Feiren's gold medal hadn't been used as a fig leaf, it is estimated that the field management center would definitely be roasted by the media.

Of course, Zhang Guan did not pay attention to this year's World Championships. He had already flown to New York to participate in this year's US Open.

Both the U.S. Open and the Australian Open are on hard courts, but there are more differences between the two. The Australian Open is a plastic hard court, which is also the most common tennis court in China; while the US Open is a concrete hard court. It is the cement field mentioned by Tong Tong.

Of course, the concrete field of the official game cannot be just covered with a layer of cement, and there will be a thin layer of plastic covering or color paint on it. The nature of this covering determines the height and speed of the ball's rebound. The speed of the ball on the cement court is slightly higher than that on the plastic court. Because the surface is relatively smooth, the ball will rush forward after landing, and there will be no obvious pause like the clay court. However, the vertical component of the kinetic energy of the concrete field will be greatly lost, so the ball does not bounce very high, which also makes the ball bounce flat on the cement field after it hits the ground.

Although the speed of the ball on this concrete floor is not as fast as Wimbledon, it is still very suitable for playing in front of the net. At the same time, the violent serve can also have greater destructive power on the concrete floor. Sampras, the champion of the year, He once won 4 championships in the US Open.

After Sampras, there is no doubt that Federer will dominate the US Open. Since 2004, Federer has won the US Open for three consecutive years, and this year is when Federer hits the US Open for four consecutive victories.

...

Zhang Guan is currently ranked No. 1 in the world, so he has undoubtedly become the No. 1 seed player of the US Open. According to the rules, the position of the seed players is fixed, so Zhang Guan is definitely No. 1 in the 1/4 zone this time. locations.

In the hotel, Coach Zhang pointed to the computer screen and said, "The grouping of the US Open has come out, and the schedule may be a bit difficult for you!"

Zhang Guan came to the computer, stared at the group, and said: "This time I am the number one seed! This is the first time I compete as the number one seed. Doesn't it mean that the number one seed is taken care of? My road to promotion should be It's pretty flat!"

"The first few rounds were very smooth. In the first two rounds, you will definitely not meet a seeded player. In the fourth round, you will at most meet No. 13 seed Gasquet, that Frenchman. Your opponent will be defeated." Coach Zhang indicated Zhang Guan turned down the webpage, and then said: "But in the quarter-finals, you may meet the No. 5 seed Roddick! He was the US Open champion in 2003, and his serve was extremely powerful. In the semi-finals of the Weiss Cup, he created a serve with a speed of 245 kilometers per hour, which is also the record for the fastest serve in the world. Roddick’s style of play is very suitable for the US Open, and Roddick is also an American, and this is his home court.”

"Oh?" Zhang Guan's face suddenly showed a look of joy.

"What? Are you looking forward to playing against Roddick?" Coach Zhang asked a little puzzled.

"No!" Zhang Guan shook his head: "I am looking forward to breaking the world record! Especially in front of the world record holder."
