Chapter 377 What did I see

The score of the three consecutive sets was 6-4, and Zhang Guan defeated Djokovic 3-0. This game was played quite wonderfully. Whether it was Zhang Guan or Djokovic, they both played many beautiful shots and played at the level of top picks.

However, Djokovic felt very depressed. In each set, he played back and forth with Zhang Guan in the first eight rounds, but in every critical round, Djokovic always appeared inexplicably A few mistakes, and then ruined the game. The closeness in one moment turned into a rout in the next moment. All this happened so suddenly that Djokovic lost the game before he even had time to react, let alone make tactical adjustments.

Even at the end of the game, Djokovic still felt that there was not much difference in strength between himself and Zhang Guan. It was just that his luck was a little bit worse at the critical moment, he was not focused enough to play, and he made several mistakes. Zhang Guan seized the opportunity, which led to the current result.

Djokovic has been looking for reasons on himself, and in the post-match interview, Djokovic said: "I feel that my heart is relatively fragile in some important scores today, especially when the score hit 4. At -4, everything seemed to be going well, but all of a sudden I was making so many mistakes, it was incomprehensible. It was my first US Open final, 23,000 people staring at you, looking forward to a game Great game. I was nervous, there was a lot of pressure, and I knew I had to play well. But obviously I made mistakes, I didn't do it when I needed to be calm and wait for my opportunity, the whole US Open, I played well . I didn't play badly today, it's just that I had a lot of chances and I just didn't take advantage of them."

In front of the TV, Federer watched Djokovic's post-match interview and shook his head helplessly.

"Djokovic obviously didn't find the root cause of the loss. If it was Nadal, I'm afraid he would have realized it already! Djokovic is still too young." Federer sighed.

"I think what Djokovic said is very good. He found his own shortcomings. We just watched the video of this game together. Djokovic always made some mistakes when the score came to a critical moment. Even double faults occurred when he didn't get the game point, which is tantamount to giving Zhang Guan points. In this game, Djokovic lost because he didn't grasp the key ball." Mirka Said from the side.

"It's just an appearance." Federer went on to say, "The scores of the three sets were all 6-4. Do you think this is a coincidence?"

"Isn't it?" Mirka stared in surprise: "Could it be that Zhang Guan can still control the score of the game?"

"This is Zhang Guan's tactic. In the first eight games of each set, Zhang Guan is playing along the rhythm of Djokovic, so on the surface it seems that the two sides are playing evenly, but in fact it is Zhang Guan. Constantly adapting to Djokovic's rhythm. Zhang Guan deliberately revealed a false impression to Djokovic, that is, they can play back and forth. In the subsequent key rounds, Zhang Guan will suddenly confront Djokovic. Vic put pressure on, and Djokovic made frequent mistakes in key games because of Zhang Guan's pressure." Federer said.

"Why? Why did Zhang Guan do this? Since he can force Djokovic to make frequent mistakes, why didn't he do it at the beginning of the game, but wait until each game is 4-4? Does Zhang Guan Djokovic who is worried that he will not win?" Mirka continued to ask.

"Talent, I think it's because of talent." Federer went on to say: "Of course Zhang Guan is not worried that he can't beat Djokovic, but Zhang Guan obviously doesn't want to expose his whole self in front of Djokovic." Strength. Djokovic has an unparalleled talent, his learning ability is very strong, he is very good at summing up after the game, so he is improving every game. Zhang Guan obviously does not want Djoko Vicky absorbed nutrition from himself, so Zhang Guan deliberately created the appearance of him and Djokovic fighting back and forth, so that Djokovic could not understand Zhang Guan's true strength."

"It sounds like Zhang Guan is quite cunning." Mirka said with a smile.

"Of course, Zhang Guan holds dozens of world champions, how could he be a brainless player." Federer nodded, and then said: "I think Djokovic must be very angry now, maybe he will He felt that he lost the game because he was unlucky at the critical moment, or he was not focused enough and made too many mistakes. Maybe he didn’t realize that the reason for losing the game was because of the gap in strength. Djokovic Qi is indeed a grade lower than Zhang Guan!"

When Federer said this, there was a trace of melancholy in his eyes.

"What? Are you worrying again? Are you worried about the finals the day after tomorrow?" Mirka asked.

"Yes, the match between Zhang Guan and Djokovic made me see something very important. Zhang Guan has grown again!"

...

On the day of the men's singles semi-finals of the US Open, the men's basketball team who had finished their European tour had already returned to China, and played two warm-up matches in the SAR, Macau and the Melbourne Tigers.

After the warm-up match, the men's basketball team returned to Beijing and entered the concluding training again. Then the men's basketball team will play three practice games against the Brisbane Bullets in late September, participate in the China-Europe basketball match in October, and compete with the Brisbane Bullets. The Orlando Magic play an NBA preseason game.

In the training center, coach Jonas looked at the men's basketball players who were sweating on the training ground, with a satisfied smile on his face. Although the players of this year's men's basketball team are not as good as European and American players in terms of physical fitness, they still practiced very hard. Especially in terms of discipline and obedience, it is worse than European and American selections, which makes it much easier for Coach Yunus to manage.

Next year will be the Olympic year, and the venue will be in the capital, so coach Jonas has a very heavy burden on his shoulders, and he knows this very well. At the same time, he hopes to lead the men's basketball team to achieve good results in the Olympic Games.

"I hope Dayao will not be injured again, and Yi, he will also enter the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks this year, and he will definitely grow up very quickly! By the time of the Olympics next year, I have more good cards in my hand, and maybe I can Achieve better results than last time." Coach Jonas was full of ambition, he looked at his watch and felt that the time was almost up, so he signaled for the players to rest for a while.

After a while, I saw the players gathered together, and there were chatter and laughter from time to time. Yunas was a little curious, and walked over. He passed through the crowd, only to see that it was Wang Shipeng holding a The DV player is playing the video recorded by Dayao when he got married.

"It turned out to be the video of Yao's wedding!" Coach Jonas also found himself on the small DV screen, so he followed suit.

After a while, the screen changed to a scene in the training ground.

"Hey, Dapeng, what is this? Isn't that Zhang Guan! Can he also play basketball?" Someone asked.

"Nonsense, how can there be a male athlete who can't play basketball, even if Zhang Guan can't play well, he can play more or less!" Someone answered immediately.

Wang Shipeng thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "I remembered, after Brother Yao's wedding, we went to practice again. It happened that there were few people, so I arrested Zhang Guan to make up the number. At that time, I took the DV player I handed it over to Xiao Chen, and I said why the battery ran out later, it turned out that this kid forgot to turn off the phone! You don’t know, Zhang Guan’s business car is really good, it is spacious and comfortable, and there is a refrigerator inside..."

"Wow!" There was a sudden exclamation.

On the small screen of the DV player, Zhang Guan has already jumped from the free throw line!

"Oh my God! What did I see! Jumping from the free throw line for a dunk!"

At this moment, coach Jonas's mind went blank.
