Chapter 545: Dinner Bet

Du Xinghe really prefers the canteen of Fuda University, where the Beiping snacks are not only authentic, but also full of campus atmosphere, eating in such an environment, Du Xinghe will feel more comfortable and younger.

"I can't show my sincerity when I go to Fuda." Zhang Yiyang said in a refreshing voice: "Mr. Xiao Du, today's meal, Yifan and I are here to invite you, first, to thank you for your help that day, if it weren't for you, Ah Liang and I would probably hang, even if we don't hang, we have to pull out the anal ......."

Zhang Yifan glanced at him and hated him: "What are you talking about, this is the dinner table, can we not be so disgusting?" ”

Du Xinghe smiled and waved his hand, signaling that it didn't matter, he didn't have so much to do.

Zhang Yiyang continued: "Second, Mr. Xiao Du, I invite you here, Yifan and I are also giving you a swearing-in banquet, I wish you can put a satellite on the Fu Championship, so that everyone will be surprised!" Let those Europeans and Americans be stunned, let them know that the world's most talented tennis player is in China! ”

Zhang Yifan saw that Zhang Yiyang was more and more excited, as if he had drunk too much, and whispered helplessly to Du Xinghe Road: "What my brother said is a bit big, we just hope that you can play normally, get good results in the Fujin Championship, and give us Fuwan a breath." ”

When Du Xinghe saw the Zhang brothers and sisters say this, he thought that this meal was not only to thank him, but also to give him a "strong trip"!

Seeing that Zhang Yiyang had already said something, Du Xinghe asked: "You have already got me a wild card?" ”

"That's a must!" Zhang Yiyang said excitedly: "Not only did we get it, but we also got you a wild card that went straight to the main competition!" ”

"Straight to the race?" Du Xinghe was stunned. Q: "Does that mean this wild card doesn't have to play in qualifiers?" ”

Zhang Yifan smiled sweetly: "Yes, no." You can go straight to the main race. ”

Zhang Yiyang boasted: "Mr. Xiao Du, with your level, playing the qualifying tournament is simply a waste of time!" ”

Zhang Yifan added: "In the qualifying round of the Fu Championship, there are only 5 career points for breaking through, and it makes no sense to play or not." ”

Zhang Yiyang echoed: "Yes, yes, it's completely meaningless!" Mr. Du, the wild card you got this time, the signing form is very good, you are in the lower half of the district. I don't feel like there are many opponents in this half of the zone who can pose a direct threat to you. You have to be able to reach the finals. will meet Zhang Di, the current NO.1 of the Chinese men's tennis. ”

Zhang Yifan separated Du Xinghe and corrected Zhang Yiyang: "Although the first brother Zhang Di is not in the lower half of the district, we must not take the opponent in the lower half lightly, Xiao Du's first opponent is the second seed Peng Maxi this time!" If you can break through the level of Pongmasi. The later games will be smoother. ”

Zhang Yiyang said: "That's right." Pongmasi's strength is indeed relatively strong. But I think Xiao Du should always be able to do without him, that guy's best thing is not tennis, but acting. There is basically no willpower at all, and he must be a rival in love, thinking that Xiao Du is always weak, waiting for Xiao Du to come to the court to play two games and let that guy taste Xiao Du's strength, he is estimated to wilt and will definitely retire. ”

Zhang Yifan smiled and said, "I hope that's the case too." If you can pass the level of Pengmasi, the opponents behind you really don't pose much threat to Mr. Xiao Du, and the most difficult ones are Wu Tailong and Zheng Sai. I don't know if Zheng Sai and Mr. Xiao Du have any special preparations after fighting, if there are no other killing moves, then he will face Mr. Xiao Du again, it is estimated that there will be no play. ”

Zhang Yiyang predicted even more boldly: "Zheng Sai and Xiao Du are not at the same level!" I don't think Wu Tailong can necessarily bring much threat to Xiao Du. Wu Tailong is also a serve-net player, just like me......"

Zhang Yifan interrupted Zhang Yiyang, who was more and more boundless: "What is the same as you!" He is a hundred times stronger than you, he is the current No. 3 person in the Chinese men's tennis, and he is also the No. 3 seed in this event. If Wu Tailong's state is to be played, then his service game is almost unsolvable! ”

Zhang Yiyang said vigorously: "Xiao Du's serve game is also unsolvable!" At that time, he will fight to grab seven, Wu Tailong in addition to the invincible serve, other technical links are very rough, Xiao Du always as long as he can give him a hurry, so that his goal rate is not so high, then the possibility of winning the tie-break is great! ”

Zhang Yifan thought for a while and said: "I agree with you on this point, judging from Mr. Xiao Du's current strength, it is more difficult to deal with the kind of player who has no loopholes in the all-round type, just like the first brother Zhang Di." For a player like Wu Tailong, who has more and more loopholes, Xiao Du always needs to catch Wu Tailong's loopholes, and it is not a luxury to win the battle. ”

The two brothers and sisters talked endlessly, Du Xinghe listened beside him, smiled helplessly, and couldn't interject, listening to the tone of the Zhang brothers and sisters, as if he was about to enter the final of the Fu Championship to face Zhang Di.

It wasn't until the waiter came in to serve the food that the Zhang siblings were interrupted from arguing.

Only then did the Zhang brothers and sisters take care of Du Xinghe's feelings, let Du Xinghe also join the discussion, and told Du Xinghe about the difficulties that Du Xinghe would face in the Fu Championships.

According to the schedule of the Fu Championships, the qualifying tournament will begin on May 15th, Zhang Yiyang will go to participate at that time, the main tournament will start on May 18th, the draw has come out, Du Xinghe was placed in the lower half of the region, the highest seeded player in this half of the region, that is, the ATP world No. 32 Moxi-brother talent player - Peng Masi, he is also the second seed player in this tournament second only to Zhang Di.

Also in this half is the tournament's No. 3 seed, Chinese heavy gun Wu Tailong, who is ranked 35th in the ATP world.

In addition to these two high-ranked seeds, Zheng Sai, who is ranked 75th in the ATP world and sixth in China, was also drawn in the bottom half.

Compared with the upper half of the Fu Championship, the lower half of the Fu Championship can be described as a gathering of strong players. Fuwan has always been known as Zhang Di's blessed land, this is not an empty word, Zhang Di is relatively easy to sign the table at the Fuwan Championships every time, I don't know if God is favoring him, or the competition party moved when drawing lots, in short, every time Zhang Di in Fuwan will go very smoothly on the road to winning the championship.

I don't know if Du Xinghe's birth this time can prevent Zhang Di from achieving four consecutive championships in the Fu Championships.

Throw away Du Xinghe, the other players in this competition. It will hardly pose much of a threat to Zhang Di, and as long as he is in good physical condition, Zhang Di's road to defending his title still looks easy.

The Zhang brothers and sisters analyzed Du Xinghe, and Du Xinghe could only meet his first brother Zhang Di if he reached the finals.

Until then, Du Xinghe will almost have to touch the top players in the bottom half, of course, if he can break through the second seed Ponmasi in the first round.

Rodriguez Ponmasi was born in April 1966 in Mexico, Spain, and just turned 27 this month. He is the No.1 player of this plane.

Left-handed, Ponmasi is one of the few golden left-handers in professional tennis at the moment. He has been in professional tennis for seven years, and when he turned professional at the age of 20, Pomp Masi reached the semifinals of the French Open, one of the five Grand Slams. It makes people cry out that a tennis supernova is rising.

The next three years. The well-rounded Ponmasi reached the quarterfinals of the five Grand Slams in succession. The world rankings have also jumped to the edge of the top 10 in the world.

At that time, as long as he made persistent efforts, he was likely to break into the top ten in the world, but unfortunately God was jealous of talent. In 1990, Pomp Maxi suffered from a strange illness, his luck function declined, he recuperated for half a year, and when he returned to the tennis world, his competitive level plummeted, and he could no longer be included in the top ranks. But with his extraordinary talent, Pomp Masi can still have a place in the tennis world.

If it was placed three years ago, when he was not sick, China's first brother Zhang Di could not have any upper hand in front of Ponmasi, but now, Zhang Di has been very easy to play Ponmasi, although looking at the world ranking, Ponmasi can still hover around 30, but this is mainly because he has participated in a lot of competitions in the past two years, almost non-stop participated in all the open tournaments that he can participate in, and has accumulated a lot of points to create, but looking at the results, he now has the opportunity to enter the finals of ATP 250-level events, It's even difficult to get to the semi-finals.

Not to mention the top 30 players in the world, it is to expand the scope and compete in the top 50 players in the ATP world rankings, and Pong Maxi is relatively weak.

That serious illness took away too much of Ponmasi's physical talent, and now Ponmasi often vomits in the game, and he can't find out the reason, and he looks very heartwarming, which is the sequelae of the strange illness at the beginning.

To say that he has such a disease and can still persist in the arena, Pengmasi's experience should be dressed in inspirational colors, but a rumor circulating in the tennis world, as well as some of Pengmasi's style on the court, has been criticized.

This Moxican brother genius player has a habit of not being good at playing against the wind when he has not suffered from that strange disease, maybe he became famous at a young age, and has too little spiritual experience, and every time he is suppressed to a big score behind, he can't reverse the situation, lacking a strong man's self-confidence and that kind of strong ferocity from the heart.

Pompasi has rarely had a classic comeback in his career, and as long as the shape is not right, he will almost certainly not resist anymore and will surrender. His disarming surrender is really disarming and surrendering, so he just stopped fighting, and found a lot of excuses to withdraw directly!

When he was young, when he was still in good health, Pomp Maxi often retired from the game when he was in headwind, and often when he couldn't catch up with the big score, he would say that he had a stomachache, heat stroke, a back injury or something, and took the initiative to apply for withdrawal.

When you are an opponent with Ponmasi, if you are weaker than him and your performance is not good, you will be beaten by Ponmasi in the game, but if you are stronger than him and play very well, it will also be very unpleasant.

In fact, retiring from the tennis game is a very extreme move, but any player with a little professionalism, as long as they are not injured and unable to move at all, then even if they grit their teeth, they will finish the game, which is the respect for the opponent, but also the respect for the audience who spend money to buy tickets, but also the respect for the tournament, and the respect for the tennis game itself.

For example, the last plane of Rui-Shi Tianwang Fei = De = Le, West = Ban = Ya Tianwang Natto, there is almost no experience of retiring due to injury in the game in his career, even if he loses, people will lose standing instead of running on their knees.

This plane's West = Ban = Javi Martinez, Italian = big = Quentin Navarro, the king of the ball, will not happen to this kind of thing, if the body is sick, people will not participate before the game, they will pay special attention to and protect their bodies, since they participated, they will take out 12% of the spirit and fighting spirit to complete the game, so that the audience can get the greatest satisfaction.

These great players are revered for their purpose. In addition to their outstanding skills, people are more admired for their personality and their attitude towards tennis.

Some players who are not very good at the game, they will also put their heart and soul into the game, like a desperate Saburo, extra hard and serious, until the last minute, never give up, this kind of player will also be loved by the fans, even if they have the occasional injury. When I couldn't keep playing. Everyone will understand.

But like Ponmasi, who has retired repeatedly, when he plays well, he goes down to the mountain and wreaks havoc, and when he doesn't play well, he becomes a wolf with a clip tail. A player who turns around and runs away. It will definitely not be loved and supported by the fans.

This was true of Ponmasi when he was younger. After suffering from that strange disease, this style became even more intense.

Especially in the last year, he has almost never lost in the game. As long as he can't beat it, he will definitely find an excuse to retire. And his acting skills are getting worse and worse, and he feels that the signs are wrong, he will support his thigh, and he will help him when he hits two balls, as if his leg is injured, the audience knows at a glance that this guy is pretending, and they can all predict that he will retire immediately, and Ponmasi has never lived up to everyone's expectations, and he will not insist on the game that can retire.

Even when the game is very deadlocked, and it reaches the deciding game, he may win or lose the game, he will find an excuse to withdraw and choose to escape.

In this way, people and gods are angry, and the only bit of inspirational color in him has been completely erased.

Now that Pompasi is in the game, even the commentators will laugh and bet on whether he will retire today, and he has become a complete laughing stock.

The Zhang brothers and sisters don't like Pengmasi, and it is precisely because of his cowardly personality that in Zhang Yiyang's view, as long as a professional player stands on the court, even if his leg is broken, he must grit his teeth to finish the game, which is worthy of being a professional player.

The World Professional Tennis Federation also has a headache for Pompasi's degrading tennis, but there is no effective way to punish Pommasi, after all, no one can prove whether his injuries on the court or heat stroke or insanity are real or fake.

In fact, not only Pongmasi, but also many players have this kind of habitual choice to withdraw from the game under the condition of headwind. For this reason, the ATP official also counts a number jΓΉ, which is the ranking of the percentage of players who retire in the situation of a headwind.

In this ranking, Pongmasi has been the champion for N consecutive years and is an absolute leader.

Du Xinghe listened to the Zhang brothers and sisters talking to him about this, and he suddenly remembered that he was in the previous plane, he seemed to have read this information, and the tennis world of the previous plane also had this situation, and the ATP official of the previous plane also appeared on a similar list.

I remember that at that time, he saw that the first male player was actually a well-known Russian = Luo = Si well-known golfer who was known for his dedication and nicknamed "Model Worker".

At the top of the women's rankings are the withdrawal regulars such as "ruffian = son = zha", as well as a Chinese Jinhua player who has won a doubles Grand Slam, and also often chooses to retire.

As long as he sees that the shape is not good and there is a slight injury on his body, this Jinhua will definitely not insist, so as to be gloriously at the top of the retirement list.

However, it is said that she always withdrew from the competition because her body was really bad. Especially when he was young, retiring from the competition was like acting, and he was always criticized. Whether she is acting or not, she is always criticized, and it is something she should review.

Another more famous Grand Slam Golden Flower player in the last plane, although he was hacked out of the competition because of personality problems, he has never been criticized for his fighting spirit or retirement.

At the dinner later, Zhang Yiyang drank porridge and told Du Xinghe about a rumor he had heard about Peng Maxi's frequent withdrawal.

At first, people felt that Pommasi habitually withdrew because he became famous at a young age, accustomed to a winning life, and could not bear too many defeats, so when he encountered difficulties, he would choose to retreat and not face it, and people could understand this, after all, talented players who became famous at a young age have more or less some psychological problems.

But later, it broke the news from the tabloids in Europe, saying that Peng Maxi's withdrawal was not because of his immature psychology, but related to competitive betting = lottery, which is what people usually call gambling-football. Ponmasi's team has been betting on = balls, betting on = balls to make huge bets = gold.

"Can't you?" Du Xinghe felt that Zhang Yiyang's story was a bit exaggerated, so he took a bite of boiled small intestines, and asked puzzledly: "What does his gambling have to do with retiring from the game?" ”

"You don't know about this, Mr. Du." Zhang Yiyang excitedly bluffed with Du Xinghe: "The mainstream European Bo = lottery company, when playing the betting market of the game, there will be a clear provision that if the game has a player withdraws, or is temporarily canceled, or other very normal reasons cause the game to end early, then the pre-game bet will be invalidated, and the prize money will be returned." Only when no one retires from the match and ends normally, the bet on this match will be considered valid and will be settled normally. ”

When Du Xinghe heard this, he probably understood something.

Zhang Yiyang further explained to Du Xinghe: "Take Poma Si as an example, it is rumored that his team will bet heavily on Poma Xi every time before a game in Ponma Si. If Pompasi wins, not only will he advance, but his team will also be rewarded handsomely. But if he is going to lose, his team will lose money, so when the game is not right, Pongmasi will act and pretend to be sick according to the instructions of the team, and voluntarily retire, so that even if the bet on the game is invalid, his team will not lose money, and he will not be able to win the game, and there is no difference between retiring and losing the game for his professional points, and it will not have any impact on him. ”

"According to you, every professional player is likely to do this kind of thing under the trend of profit?" Du Xinghe pondered Zhang Yiyang's speculation and made such a bold idea, because according to Zhang Yiyang, professional players play games, as long as the bet = Bo company dares to open, then they will definitely not lose if they win! If you win, you can gain fame and fortune, and if you lose, you can find an excuse to retire, isn't this all in the hands of professional players?

Zhang Yifan spoke at this time, with a faint tone of disgust, and said: "Players with professional quality will not do this, this is the biggest disrespect for tennis." ”

Du Xinghe raised the bar and said: "Regardless of respect or disrespect, since there are such rules, there must be people to exploit this loophole, if there are no clear rules to restrict, relying solely on professional players to restrain with professionalism, there will definitely be problems." ”

Zhang Yiyang said: "This kind of thing is actually constrained by both morality and law, and those players who dare to take advantage of this loophole are taking risks." If they are caught, they will not only be removed from the International Tennis Federation, but they may also be charged with the crime and imprisoned. A few years ago, two American = national players were imprisoned = prison for accepting bribes = bribes from gambling = Bo companies, playing match-fixing, and not being banned for life. ”

Du Xinghe thought for a moment and said, "Pengmaxi's situation is not quite the same as match-fixing. He's playing real ball, he's playing for the purpose of winning, but if he can't win, he takes the means allowed by the rules to retire, which is not strictly speaking, it's not match-fixing, and there is no gambling = Bo company buys him out, and his situation is difficult to be defined as gambling-ball. ”

Zhang Yifan frowned and said: "Yes, it's because of this that players like Peng Masi, who are obviously problematic, don't rule them." ”

Zhang Yiyang said: "There must be a way, if you get the conclusive evidence of the Pengmaxi team's buying ball, his team, including himself, will definitely finish playing, even if he doesn't go to prison, he will be expelled from the professional tennis world." But now I just can't find this evidence, everything is hearsay, so I can't do anything about him. ”

Du Xinghe said indifferently: "Since there is no conclusive evidence to prove that Pengmaxi gambles = ball, then people don't gamble, you can't just listen to what foreign gossip and tabloids say." Anyway, I think that professional players are mixed up to make money by retiring from the game, and it is enough to fall, and he is not happy to play by himself, his heart is full of things, how to play well? I don't think there should be players like that. ”

Zhang Yifan smiled sweetly, pulled his pants under the table, and said: "Before there is conclusive evidence, I also prefer not to believe in Pengmaxi gambling = ball ......"

Zhang Yiyang interrupted: "But the problem is, that guy's game is really problematic!" If you don't believe it, let's bet, Mr. Du, if you compete with Peng Maxi, if you come up and completely suppress him, he will definitely retire! Do you believe it or not? (To be continued......)
