Almighty Athlete Chapter 50: Athletics challenge

"Today's two games, the men's basketball team should have won Angola. ﹍>>bar···==·=Angola does not have a decent inside line and will definitely be beaten by Dayao. No need to play. As for tennis..." Zhang Guan looked at the material in his hand and smiled slightly: "The opponent is actually Blake, who is unlucky."

Blake is an American, a black and white mixed-race, his ball dealer is very high, even once considered to be the highest player in the tennis industry, and Blake can also be regarded as a professional tennis player. Character, because he graduated from Harvard University in economics.

Blake’s hard court is very strong. He is also a player of partial strength. He has a strong forehand, a good backhand line, comprehensive skills, excellent service, and likes to grab points. Although Blake has not achieved excellent results in the Grand Slam, but he is ranked in the top ten in the world all the year round, and he is definitely a strongman.

However, Zhang Guan knows that after Blake retired, he encountered the unlucky things one after another, so you only call Blake "unlucky egg" in Zhang Guan.

For example, in the second year after Blake retired, he once rented out his own seaside villa, but the house caught fire and was burned down, let alone the tenant. Although American houses have insurance, the places where people are burned are devalued even in the United States.

For another example, Blake stood at the door of the hotel again and found a man in the distance looking at him. Blake thought he was a fan and smiled at the other party. As a result, the other party rushed and pushed Blake to the ground, and then Handcuffed Blake. >﹏8=-=· It turned out that this man was a plainclothes policeman, and he regarded Blake as a suspect. When Blake smiled at him, he thought Blake was going to draw a gun, so he rushed up to subdue Blake.

There are many unlucky things in Blake.

Unlucky, but Blake is also the top ten player in the world after all, which is enough for Zhang Guan to take it seriously.
