Almighty Athlete Chapter 40: Play against model workers

"Eagle Eye System Innovation Co., Ltd.? Sounds related to the eagle eye system, is it a supplier of the eagle eye system?" Zhang Guan asked.

Zhuge Wenbo nodded: "Yes, that is the company that provides the eagle eye system for the world’s major tennis courts. They have the exclusive patent for the eagle eye system, and they have the only certification of the International Tennis Federation, so. In addition, they said that as long as you are willing to take the test, you can give you an appearance fee of 300,000 Australian dollars."

"That's a lot! I remember the Australian Open won the quarter-finals, and the prize money was $300,000!" Zhang Guan said.

Before the 2008 financial crisis, the exchange rate of the Australian dollar was not much different from that of the US dollar. However, after the 2008 financial crisis, the sharp depreciation of the Australian dollar gradually became less valuable than the US dollar.

For the current Zhang Guan, the appearance fee for ordinary events is 100,000 US dollars, so 300,000 US dollars is definitely a relatively high number.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Guan asked, "How are they going to test?"

"They prepared a high-speed serving machine, and then served twenty balls, as long as you can judge the right. Of course, if one or two are wrong, I believe everyone can accept it." Zhuge Wenbo then asked : "Are you confident? If not, I can push it away."

"What does the main committee of the Australian Open say?" Zhang Guan then asked.

"The Australian Open main committee also hopes you can participate in the test." Zhuge Wenbo said with a smile: "They are willing to provide the venue of Vodafone Stadium as a test, but they are not to test whether the Eagle Eye system is easy to use, but In order to attract the media's attention and increase ratings, this is in line with the Australian Open's usual style"

Among the four grand slams, the Australian Open’s game time is not always the time for European and American audiences to watch the game, the Australian population is not large, and the tennis market is not as good as the other three Grand Slam events, so the Australian Open is ranked in the four majors. Through the bottom position. It is for this reason that the sponsors of the Australian Open have always been regarded as the most utilitarian, even the US Open, which has a high degree of commercialization of sports, is ashamed of itself.

Zhang Guan thought about it. He said, "I have some confidence to say. There is a lot of $300,000 in playing fees. My usual playing fee is $100,000. Then I judge whether 20 **** are out of bounds. Yu ball gave me ten thousand dollars! But if you think about it, it’s a bit psychic. It’s like I’m playing tricks in the game.”

"I think you should go." Coach Joyce next to him suddenly said.

"Why?" Zhang Guan asked.

"If you are really sure you can judge the 20 balls, I suggest you go well. You need to show the world your powerful ability, and more importantly, it can give you More pressure from opponents!" Coach Joyce said.

Zhang Guan didn’t immediately understand what “more pressure” meant. Coach Joyce then explained: "The eagle eye system is mainly used to determine whether the ball is out of bounds, so the eagle eye system only works when the tennis landing point is relatively limited. Generally, the in-ball is very obvious. Or out-of-bounds, eagle eye is not available! Many experienced players will use the opportunity of eagle eye challenge on some key balls. The opportunity of the player holding the eagle eye challenge means that the player is in the key The handling of the ball can be more bold, choose a more intense or extreme style of play, I think you must have a deep understanding of this."

Zhang Guan nodded. It is precisely because of the 100% success rate of the Eagle Eye challenge that he dared to use a more extreme play to deal with Haas, because Zhang Guan does not have to worry about the referee's misjudgment. And after using the Hawkeye challenge, Haas became more conservative.

Thinking of this, Zhang Guan said: "I understand, if the opponent knows that I can accurately determine whether the ball is out of bounds, then when playing with me, I dare not choose a very extreme landing point, nor play It will be too intense, right?"

Coach Joyce nodded, and then said: "And your next opponent is Davidenko. The way to deal with Davidovic is very simple, you just need to let Davidenko know that your strength is in him. It’s all right."

"Davidenko!" Zhang Guan flashed the nickname "Model Worker".

"Davidenko is a different kind of tennis player. His talents are very general. His physical fitness is very general, his mobility is very general, and his technology is very general. It can be said that he has no technical characteristics. A hard-working player. Wherever he can participate in the game, regardless of the size of the game and regardless of the location of the game, he will definitely participate. At present, he can get the third place in the world, not because he is strong enough. It is because he has participated in enough games." Coach Joyce said.

The world ranking of tennis is calculated according to points, and athletes can get corresponding points for participating in the game. The points of different levels of competition are also different. Of course, the most slam champions can get 2000 points, and the score of general small games is much less. At the lowest level of atp250 events, the championship points are only 250.

Generally, high-level athletes rarely participate in low-level competitions. For example, Federer participates in more than a dozen competitions a year. In addition to Grand Slam competitions, they mainly participate in atp1000 levels such as master competitions. Federer won’t participate in any of the events, atp500 and atp250.

Davidenko is different. Even if it is the lowest-level atp250 event, as long as time permits, Davydenko will go to participate. Davydenko's strength is relatively weak among the top-ranked players in the world, but in the atp250 game, it is more than enough to abuse vegetables. There are more competitions, and Davydenko's points have also been brushed up~IndoMTL.com~ So his world ranking is in third place. But if we really talk about overall strength, Davydenko may be the weakest among the top ten in the world, that is, the 14th Djokovic and the 15th Murray in the world may be better in strength. Davydenko scored a few points.

Davidenko’s “labor model” players can be said to compete purely for the purpose of participating in the competition. Of course, it is best to get good results in the competition. If you don’t get good results, you are not discouraged. Then prepare to participate in the next one game.

And Davydenko’s stability in the game is very high. If he meets an opponent who is weaker than himself, he will definitely win the game; if he meets an opponent with his own strength, Davydenko will work hard to fight. But when encountering an opponent stronger than himself, knowing that he will not win, Davydenko often starts to take protective play to avoid injury. For example, in the 2006 US Open, Davydenko met Federer half-finally. Davydenko knew that he could not win Federer, and he lost three straight sets. At the end of the game, he flew to the other side of the earth to participate in China Open. game.

So coach Joyce feels that the best tactic when facing Davidenco is the so-called "strength persuasion." (To be continued.)
