Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 30 Two leaders are robbing people

"Young man, are you interested in participating in the Asian Games?" Liang Hui asked tentatively.

This also shocked Sun Jianye on the side.

Lao Liang, this guy hasn't agreed to help me participate in the National Games, so you're here to rob me?
First come, first served, you know?

Sun Jianye was complaining mentally, but there was still a warm joke on his face.

They have been foxes for thousands of years, and they still have this kind of self-cultivation.

When Chen Ran heard this, his expression moved slightly, and then he showed a look of emotion, but his heart was full of disapproval.

It’s just an Asian Games, do you think I’ll care about it?
After agreeing to this invitation, how can I parachute into the Chinese tennis world in the name of the savior?
Others don't know it, but Chen Ran knows very well that the Chinese Tennis Corps will suffer the humiliation of a historic "zero medal" in the Busan Asian Games.

Then internal conflicts broke out, and future Grand Slam winner Li Na was so angry that she simply retired and went to college.

Two years later, after the Athens Olympics, Sun Jinfang, the new director of the Tennis Association, flew to Wuhan in person and invited Li Na to come out.

All for the Yanjing Olympics!

"That's right, Chairman Liang..." Chen Ran said with a mature expression, "During the Asian Games, I happened to be in high school. I think studying is very important. Even if you want to be an athlete, you can't ignore cultural studies."

"Young man is right, reading is very important!" Liang Hui immediately agreed. He couldn't find any room to refute this.

However, the old fox immediately changed the topic and said: "But can you bear the energy of studying and practicing football at the same time?"

"There is no conflict between the two!" Chen Ran blinked and said seriously, "Training must be appropriate. You can't train all day long except for sleeping and eating."

"Besides, I am not studying for exams, but to increase my knowledge. My teacher has taught me since I was a child that the more I read, the less likely I will be deceived!"

This guy talks like I'm here to lie to you, and I'm here to bring you fame and fortune!

Damn it, that’s tennis. If it were table tennis, the country would have a surplus of talent. Who the hell cares who you are!
Sun Jianye on the side smiled coldly and said to himself: Chairman Liang, this guy is a big kid and a cunning guy, but he is not as easy to deal with as you think.

"That's right, you can't study just for exams. We now advocate quality education instead of exam-oriented education." Liang Hui was also able to pick up the conversation easily.

Chen Ran nodded in agreement: "That's right, I watched the interviews of those Olympic champions. Although those people have strong professional abilities, their language skills are worrying. It should be because they have not read enough books."

Liang Hui was speechless. Even many reporters complained about this. He was asked a lot of questions, but couldn't utter a few words for a long time.

"High school has just started, so I still have to prioritize my studies. I will not participate in the Asian Games this time. Besides, the national team players usually train so hard, and I am really embarrassed to grab a precious spot." Chen Ran continued. He said carefully, "Also, my ATP ranking is not high enough and I am not convinced by the crowd."

"I still need to hone myself more in the Hope Games."

Liang Hui glanced at Sun Jianye, and both sides understood what the other meant.

This kid simply looks down on the Asian Games, because there are no ATP points in the Asian Games tennis matches. Putting academics first is just an excuse.

"That's it, then we can't force it." Liang Hui was helpless about this. He really couldn't control Chen Ran at all.

However, he was still curious about Chen Ran's identity as the coach, and asked tentatively: "Young man, can you recommend me your coach?"

Chen Ran looked cautious and then shook his head like a rattle: "Chairman Liang, tennis is different from other sports. The coaches are one-on-one. Even top players have one person with several coaches. "

"What do you want to do? Are you poaching? That's not possible!" Liang Hui's face suddenly became twisted. He had not thought about poaching, but wanted to ask Chen Ran what he said. Is this "Chinese-American" coach willing to come to the national team to coach those players and repay his mother country?

But come to think of it, it is very inconvenient to operate.

For example, the distance between Dongzhou City and the imperial capital Yanjing is too far. If the other party really comes to coach the national team, they will not have the energy to continue to be responsible for Chen Ran's training.

Besides, high-level tennis coaches usually provide one-on-one guidance. If you train so many people at one time, they will be unwilling to do it, and the effect will be minimal. This is completely different from those team sports.

Chen Ran observed the opponent's face and said: "My coach also said that the past few years have been a period of rapid growth for me and I must not change coaches. Chairman Wangliang understands!"

The implication is that you should not get information about that coach from my mouth.

However, Chen Ran also kept an eye on it and did not stop talking: "How about in a few years, when I can establish a firm foothold in the ATP Tour, I will recommend that coach to you."

Hehe, in a few years you won’t even know which department you will be transferred to, so you will still care about this matter?

This was obviously Chen Ran's plan to delay the attack.

Chen Ran looked at Sun Jianye who was hesitant to speak, and continued: "Sun Ju, I have thought about it and am willing to compete for my hometown, but it cannot affect my studies. Anyway, the Nanjing National Games will be held in the autumn three years later. I had graduated from high school by then.”

Sun Jianye heard this and said happily: "I'm very happy that the young man can think so. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me and I will try my best to satisfy you."

The opportunity is coming!

Liang Hui was also very sensible. He had no control over the National Games, so he consciously walked to the other side.

"Director Sun, do I still want to compete with the provincial team members?" Chen Ran asked again after watching Vice Chairman Liang walk away.

Sun Jianye shook his hand and replied: "No need. Young man, you can win the championship of the Hope Tournament, but you are much better than those on the provincial team. To be honest, there are only two people in our eastern Zhejiang team who have ATP points. "

"Are they participating this time?"

"Enter the competition! One was eliminated in the qualifying round, and the other was eliminated in the first round of the main competition."

So we had a competition, and Chen Ran won the championship.

"The difficulty is not that difficult. But..." Chen Ran paused and continued: "The expenses of tennis are not cheap, including coaching fees, venue fees, and the cost of flying across the country and even the world."

"In the recent period, I will definitely only compete domestically, but sooner or later I will compete abroad. So Sun Bureau, can you give me some funds... After all, I will also compete for my hometown in the future."

"Funding, easy to talk about!" Sun Jianye replied immediately, "I will apply for you a funding of 2 yuan a year for the next three years."

Eastern Zhejiang Province is a wealthy province, and the Chen Ran in front of him is capable of winning gold and silver in the National Games, so he should be given some financial support.

For the sports bureaus of various provinces in China, the National Games is a big test, and they are willing to invest real money.

From the perspective of many Chinese athletes, the National Games are even more important than the Games.
