Li Cai's next tennis match was in the United States, and the game was called the U.S. Men's Clay Championships.

When you hear the name, you know that the competition venue is a clay court, but Li Cai has always practiced and trained on hard courts and is not familiar with clay courts.

Because there is still more than a month before the competition, Li Cai can only continue to practice hard to maintain his competitive level, and improve his tennis ability.

Clay is not the same as hard, and it is often not the ferocious serve-and-net player who wins, but the side who struggles the baseline.

This is very bad for Li Cai.

After all, Li is a serve-net-type player, although the bottom line will also be, but it can be said that it is a grade worse than the serve-net, and the skills used are all in front of the net, and there is no bottom line. You can only rely on your tennis skills mastery and your own baseline skills to fight.

Because Li Cai has spent almost all the achievement points, he can only rely on his own training and adaptation to the clay court.

Although you can conduct a fantasy lottery, if you draw a fantasy lottery with 20,000 achievement points, it is basically a waste.

Under the guidance of coach Carlos, Li Cai's bottom-line skills are also decent, at least there will be no big mistakes.

After practicing on the hard court for two weeks, coach Carlos said to Li Cai: "It's not okay to go on like this, you can play on the hard court now, but the characteristics of the clay court are that the ball has a large friction with the ground when it lands, and the ball speed is the slowest, and the players will have a lot of room to slide during the run, especially when stopping and returning sharply, which is very different from the hard court." ”

Then he asked Li Cai: "You are not a member of the national team now, you should be able to use the venue of your tennis national team to train." ”

Li Cai listened, thought about it, and felt that coach Carlos was right, he could not only practice baseline skills on hard courts, but also on clay courts.

After all, the venue is different, and it has a great impact on the players.

When he came to the Tennis Association, Li found Wang Gang, the leader of the netball subdivision, and asked him to allow him to use the national team's court to practice.

Hearing that Li Cai was going to borrow the venue of the national team to practice, Wang Gang thought about it and said to Li Cai: "If you want to promise me one condition, I will agree." ”

Li Cai listened and asked, "What conditions?"

Wang Gang looked at Li Cai and said unhurriedly: "In this Asian Games held in China, I can't control you in Go, but you have to participate in the tennis event." ”

After Li Cai heard it, he knew that it was the Asian Games tennis participation, so he naturally agreed.

In fact, even if Wang Gang didn't mention this request, Li Cai himself would ask to participate.

After all, unlike Go, Li Cai is not invincible in tennis and is still in its infancy, and the Asian Games is an opportunity for him to become famous, so that more people can know themselves, and they can also achieve their goals faster and open up their next ability.

Seeing that Li Cai agreed so easily, Wang Gang breathed a sigh of relief.

I am afraid that Li Cai will mercilessly reject himself and embarrass himself.

After all, Li Cai has a "criminal record", and he participated in the game of Go, and if he didn't go, he wouldn't go, which could be said to have no sense of organization and discipline.

In tennis, no one in the domestic men's tennis has taken a shot, except for Li Cai, who has sprung up during this time.

Otherwise, in the Asian Games held this time, in the Chinese men's tennis, the neon players will win the championship, and there will be no gain.

As an official in the system, Wang Gang naturally wants to go further in officialdom.

But if you want to advance in the officialdom, in addition to having a backstage, you must also have a good performance.

And Wang Gang is in the General Administration of Sports, if in this Asian Games, let the men's tennis who can't win the gold medal, it will naturally be a huge political achievement, and it will pave the way for his future promotion.

And if you want to achieve good results in men's tennis at the Asian Games, you can only rely on Li Cai, a genius who has just won the ATP championship.

After obtaining Wang Gang's approval, Li Cai took his training team to practice at the national team's tennis training ground.

When I came to the tennis training ground of the national team, I looked at the tennis players of the national team practicing on the court, and found that their tennis skills were very rough, and they all played according to their habits, and instead of correcting their movements, they desperately practiced the wrong movements.

Although I don't know the level of tennis coaching of the national team, it's not so bad, I don't point out the wrong moves, and I practice with them with the wrong moves.

Walking into the court, he was greeted by a head coach who was in charge of managing the tennis team.

The head coach of the national tennis team is a tall and strong man, like a gorilla, like a basketball player.

I saw the gorilla stretch out his thick hand and said, "My name is Li Mingde, I am the head coach of the tennis team, I am really honored to have you come to the national team this time!"

Li Cai listened and was very happy, and when he was about to shake hands with Li Mingde, he found that Li Mingde ignored him, bypassed him, and shook hands with Carlos, the coach next to him.

Li Cai stretched out in the air, ready to shake hands, and when he saw Li Mingde bypassing him, he could only change the handshake action to touching his hair.

Li Cai was extremely depressed in his heart: "I think the head coach of this tennis team, Li Mingde, is very incomprehensible, and he does not welcome himself, but welcomes his coach Carlos." ”

You know, you're going to be ready to play, and Coach Carlos is a foreigner, so he can't help you coach the national team.

After shaking hands with Carlos, Li Mingde said to Li Cai: "Ah, Director Wang has greeted me, and he has already set aside the clay court, you can just go directly." ”

Coach Carlos is an internationally famous tennis coach, and now there is a shortage of good coaches in the national team, so you can lend Coach Carlos to Li Na for training for a period of time, rest assured, Li Na's team will pay for Coach Carlos's training." ”

Although Li Na is now the first sister of the national team tennis, she is also a tennis genius, and it is the time to lend her the advice of a famous teacher, who will teach her.

But Li Cai couldn't say anything, so he had to say: "Then what about my training, I still have to go to the clay tournaments in the United States, and I can't lack coach Carlos." ”

Seeing Li Cai say this, Li Mingde was a little unhappy, if it weren't for Li Cai winning the ATP championship, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to this kind of disobedient athlete.

Li Mingde had no choice but to say: "You lend Coach Carlos to Li Na, and you will naturally choose the other coaches in the national team." ”

Li Cai listened, and was even more speechless, the men's tennis players of the national team I saw just now were all wrong in their technical movements, and the coach had not pointed it out yet, so you can still count on the coach of the national team.

So, Li Cai was not polite, and said directly: "Wait a while, I am asking Coach Carlos to teach me the bottom-line technique, if you want Coach Carlos to guide, you want Li Na to tell him herself, not that you are blindly mixing here." ”

After Li Cai finished saying this, Li Mingde's face changed, originally like a gorilla, with a coal-like face, angry like a monkey's ass, red and red.

Li Mingde pointed at Li Cai with his finger, trembling with anger, and said, "You...... You are simply bold, I will expel you from the national team, and you will not be allowed to use the national team's training grounds. ”

Li Cai shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Then you can talk to Director Wang to see if he will expel him from the national team." ”

As soon as Li Cai said this, Li Mingde was dumbfounded, and he couldn't speak for a while.

was pushed back by Li Cai, Li Mingde felt faceless, so he could only leave angrily.

Li Cai didn't bother to care about him, anyway, Wang Gang, the leader of the netball, promised himself that he didn't have to be afraid of him, worried that he would make trouble for himself.

So, Li Cai started his own bottom-line technical practice on the clay court of the national team.
