Although Sharapova is a grand slam winner, after all, she is a female player. It is still difficult to catch a ball with a speed of more than 120 miles per hour. At least there will be some problems with the angle and the control of the landing point. However, Zhang Guan's rookie problem is obviously bigger. In Sharapova's view, Zhang Guan's ability to receive the ball is a big victory.

The tennis ball was hit back by Sharapova, and then Zhang Guan ran over with a small step, and then returned smoothly.

The angle of this return is not tricky, it can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, but as a rookie, the quality of this return is already very high.

"The ball is coming back! The angle is pretty good." Sharapova subconsciously ran in the direction of the ball and then hit the ball back over the net again.

Then, Zhang Guan slipped again and again, and then returned the ball steadily. The angle is still not tricky, but the landing point is still very stable.

"This ball is also a good return! Isn't the return just a coincidence? What's the matter? A few minutes ago, he obviously played badly, without the talent of tennis, how did it take a few minutes to serve and receive the ball? Not bad, at least qualified. Is he just pretending not to be?" Sharapova suddenly felt that Zhang Guan was always pretending not to learn.

"I used to teach him by hand!" Sharapova suddenly remembered teaching Zhang Guan how to play tennis. The two of them kept sticking together, and Zhang Guan seemed to have a very enjoyable look.

The tennis outfit has a very good texture and is also very figured. Of course, the feeling that Sharapova put on the whole person, Zhang Guan certainly enjoyed it.

"This abominable guy. No wonder I haven't learned it all the time! It's all deliberate, it's all pretending! Stinking rogue..." Sharapova blushed slightly, and then added a difficult spin on the next ball .

Zhang Guan obviously will not return this side spin, he still follows the original method. Then the ball went back naturally.

"Let you pretend not!" Sharapova directly gave Zhang Guan a high-pressure ball smash.

"Oh!" Zhang Guan was caught by surprise, and the tennis ball directly hit his face...

...

After learning tennis, Zhang Guan and Sharapova learned more common languages. Sharapova started talking to Zhang Guan about some interesting facts in previous games, such as the victory over Davenport in Wimbledon and the victory over Yang in Birmingham Kovic, the year-end finals reversal of Williams, etc., and Zhang Guan anyhow can be considered some tennis knowledge. Sharapova talked about the professional tennis, and Zhang Guan didn't discredit him.

Two people chat together, go shopping together, play tennis together, do sports together, all kinds of sports... Then entered 2006, Sharapova will start preparing for the Australian Open again, and Zhang Guan also ended his vacation , Say goodbye to Sharapova. Back home.

As usual, late January to early March is still the time for indoor track and field. The first stop of this year's IAAF indoor competition is also the Moscow indoor track and field. However, Zhang Guan did not plan to participate this year. This year's indoor track and field competition, only the 11th IAAF indoor track and field championship in March is worth attending. In the remaining time, Zhang Guan felt that it was more important to strengthen the 400-meter sprint training.

In outdoor track and field events, the first half of the competition was actually scattered. For example, before the IAAF Golden League, there were six IAAF Grand Prix events held in Senegal, Japan, Brazil, the Netherlands, the United States and the Czech Republic. The six games spread across five continents. In such a scattered venue, athletes can't go all over. It's almost the principle of taking part in the neighborhood. Zhang Guan is only participating in an IAAF Grand Prix at most.

...

Xinzhuang training base.

On the big screen in the classroom, Zhang Guan was watching the video of Jeremy Varina's game carefully.

"How is it, what do you think?" Yu Guidao asked.

"The follow-up ability is very strong!" Zhang Guan lamented.

"You see it too." Yu Guiyu continued: "This is just Varina during the Athens Olympics. At that time, he used the same running method as the other two American athletes. In the first 200 meters, he actually did not lead Advantages, after entering the second corner, yes, you see here, his teammates have accelerated a little earlier, and then he started to accelerate. The recent 400-meter running method of Americans, the acceleration points are generally started earlier ."

Yu Gui then played the screen: "Look again, when entering the straight track, Varina was only in second place, about a meter behind his teammate Harris, but in the final sprint, just at the beginning Varina caught up with Harris. I will take a step back. You can compare, Harris’ sprint speed is actually not slow, even faster than other athletes, but Varina can still surpass Harris. ."

"Let's take a look at the video of Varina last year's World Athletics Championships." Yu Gui changed a video.

"See? No, Varina's running style has changed. After entering the first straight track, his pace has obviously increased, but his rhythm has not changed. Then watch him enter the corner, the pace It has become smaller, the frequency has become faster, and the speed has begun to increase. I just said that the time point for Americans to accelerate has been increasing. In the past, it started to accelerate at about 250 meters, but now some players have started to increase their speed at 230 meters, Varina. But he started to speed up when entering the corner." Yu Gui then analyzed.

"It's very scientific to run like this, and use increased steps to maintain speed in the straight. Other players adjust and then speed up after entering the curve. He first speeds up and then adjusts, but this requires high physical fitness!" Zhang Guan Asked.

Gui Yu nodded: "Yes, this is very demanding on the body. At least for now I have not found other athletes can do this. But Varina runs like this, and in the end will still maintain a good explosive power, you continue to watch Here, they entered the final straight from the machete. At this time Varina actually entered the straight almost at the same time as the second place, but in the final sprint, his abundant physical strength ensured that he can win the championship."

"This way of running is very special." Zhang Guan continued.

Guidance Yu glared Zhang Guan: "Your running style is more special!"

Zhang Guan smiled awkwardly. He wanted to use some normal running methods, but he couldn't do such a rigorous physical distribution.

The rhythm of 400-meter athletes is accumulated over a long period of time. They have gained a lot of training. They have already been very familiar with their bodies. They know when to be fast, when to be slow, and when to use what rhythm to run. This can be said to be a feeling of sprinting. But Zhang Guan's training time is too short. He hasn't cultivated this feeling, so he can only rely on the skill of "incomplete sprint activation" to limit his movement rhythm.

In general, Zhang Guan now uses a running method that requires the least amount of technical content. The front is run by "incomplete sprint activation". At the end, this skill is removed. A direct sprint of the brain can charge multiple rushes. Multiple pieces. The whole process does not require much physical adjustment, only need to pay attention to basic movements and running routes.

Just listen to the guidance and then say: "Everyone has their own good running style, I don’t force you to change the running style, but I think that your current running style still has a lot of room for improvement. The first is in the straight At that time, you can increase the distance of the pace on the basis of the original rhythm, like Varina; the second is the grasp of the sprint point, you can appropriately advance, put the sprint point in the curve, even if only advance five Meters or ten meters is also an improvement."

Zhang Guan thought about it carefully. When he went straight, his rhythm was unchanged and the distance between his steps was increased. This is actually a difficult technique to master, and it is impossible for him to master it in a short time. of.

"If I use a physical potion to increase my physical strength to more than 90, I should be able to start sprinting a little earlier, so that the speed can be faster. It should be able to run within 44 seconds." Zhang Guan thought silently.

...

The New Year in 2006 was at the end of January, and Zhang Guan did not have any important events in the first half of the year, so he took a holiday ten days in advance.

However, Zhang Guan didn't go home immediately. He still had two advertisements to shoot, one for air conditioning and one for insurance. There is also a watch endorsement. Among them, the watch endorsement is an international brand, the final endorsement amount reached 3 million US dollars.

Since winning the Golden League final award last year, some international brands have contacted Zhuge Wenbo to negotiate the Zhang Guan advertising endorsement contract. This change is undoubtedly good news. In fact, for domestic athletes, advertisers and endorsers signed them mainly for the Chinese market. Even if some multinational companies, they will not put advertisements for Chinese athletes in the United States or Europe. And these recent international brands focus on Zhang Guan, not just for the Chinese market, but many are planning to use Zhang Guan as a spokesperson for global publicity.

In fact, few Chinese athletes can really achieve internationalization. Even Liu Feiren is only involved in the promotion of the domestic market. It is difficult to see Chinese athletes in the advertisements of various big brands we have seen abroad. Figure.

In many domestic advertisements, especially those of international brands or luxury goods, it is easy to see well-known athletes abroad. This is the difference in the internationalization of athletes.

This difference in internationalization is also directly reflected in money. Liu Feiren's endorsement is 4 million a year, the highest endorsement is 15 million a year for a high-end car, all calculated in domestic currency; and Bolt's endorsement is almost 2 million US dollars, and the highest can get 10 million US dollars Level endorsement fee. Bolt is not like Liu Feiren, who has a huge Chinese market behind him, but he earns several times more than Liu Feiren. This is the benefit of internationalization.

Entering into the global publicity strategy of major international brands, so that people all over the world can see you, this advertising endorsement fee is much higher than in the Chinese market alone.

After all, Zhuge Wenbo worked in CAA, knowing how much internationalization has contributed to an athlete’s income, so he has been operating related matters in the past six months. Zhang Guan’s latest watch endorsement is the result of Zhuge Wenbo’s operation. (To be continued.)
