After three days of fierce competition, the intra-team selection tournament of the Beijing tennis team finally came to an end. Lin Teng won an undefeated record of 13 matches and won a main position without dispute, while a player named Zhang Xiping defeated his opponent in the final round with the same record as his opponent and thrillingly won the last qualifying spot.

In this way, the three main players representing the Beijing team in the National Tennis Grand Prix were all released. What made Director Xiao very happy was that Pan Xiqi and Lin Teng, who he had recruited exceptionally, were all in the main position.

Needless to say, Pan Xiqi is completely several grades higher than the existing Beijing team players. What really surprised Director Xiao was Lin Teng, a child who had just turned eighteen. He originally thought that Lin Teng was still young after all, and he needed to hone in the team for a few years before he could really mature, but he didn't expect that in just a few months, Lin Teng actually defeated many veteran players older than him and directly obtained the main qualification. I have to say that Lin Teng's tennis talent is indeed very good, in addition to Pan Xiqi, Lin Teng is also a hopeful star worthy of the Beijing team's key training.

Not to mention Coach Zheng, through this selection competition, he has a full understanding of Lin Teng's strength and playing style. As a veteran of tennis for decades, his eyesight is still very strong. Through Lin Teng's performance, Coach Zheng saw that he still had a lot of room for improvement. Although it is still too early to fight against the top two in China, in time, Lin Teng will definitely surpass them and represent the Chinese men's tennis team to break out of Asia and go to the world.

If Lin Teng represents the future, then Pansiqi means the present. With Pansiqi's amazing performance, I believe that there are really few opponents in China at present. After getting the exact answer to Pan Xiqi's participation in this tennis Grand Prix, Coach Zheng excitedly thought that the position of the first singles player in China occupied by those two people all year round is very likely to change hands in the near future. Thinking that this person is from the Beijing team, as the head coach, he can wake up laughing at night.

The National Tennis Grand Prix will start in a few days, this time in Guangzhou. The competition consists of four events: men's singles, men's doubles, women's singles and women's doubles. On the men's side, the Beijing team sent three singles main players, one singles substitute, two pairs of doubles main players, and one pair of doubles substitutes. Substitute players will not be able to play unless the main player has an accident before the game.

There is also a head coach, two sub-coaches, two physical fitness coaches, and two logistics support teams. Coupled with the members of the women's team, it can be said that the Beijing team participating in the competition this time can be described as strong and strong, with more than 30 people. It can also be seen that the Beijing team attaches great importance to this most important annual tennis tournament in China.

Tomorrow the team will leave for Guangzhou, and today Director Xiao held a pre-game mobilization meeting for everyone, which can be regarded as stimulating the morale of the team and seeing off the players. At the mobilization meeting, Director Xiao introduced the composition of the expedition and delivered an impassioned mobilization speech. I have to say that Director Xiao's inspiring level is very high, and everyone is a little enthusiastic after hearing it, and they want to go on the field early to shed their blood for the Beijing team.

However, Pan Xiqi, who was sitting below, seemed a little different from the others who were in high spirits, and after listening to Director Xiao's personnel introduction, he fell into deep thought. After the mobilization meeting, he found Coach Zheng as soon as possible.

"Coach, I haven't heard that this tournament will participate in the doubles event, and our team has sent two pairs of players to participate?" Pansiqi asked.

"Hey, you ask this? Why are you also interested in doubles? "Coach Zheng was a little surprised.

"I just want to know how our doubles list is chosen, and I haven't heard of doubles tryouts before."

Facing Pan Xiqi's question, Coach Zheng smiled and replied: "That's the case, the doubles strength of our Beijing team has never been strong, and there has never been any excellent combination, and it is basically difficult to even enter the top 16 every time you participate in the competition." Therefore, from the coach to the players, they don't want to spend too much experience in doubles, and the competition is just cannon fodder anyway. So basically, every time the competition is a few of our leaders designate team members to participate in the temporary partner, so we don't bother to do any more tryouts. ”

"Is this a strategic abandonment?" Pansiqi asked.

"You can say that. Because the hope of achieving good results is so small, the athletes who are assigned are not particularly motivated. After all, to prepare for a big competition, you have to start pairing training before the competition, and it takes a lot of energy after the competition, and in the end there is no benefit. Therefore, every time we send someone to participate in doubles, we have a lot of headaches, and I was about to suggest to the leader, but I really can't recruit a pair of full-time doubles players to join the team in the future. Coach Zheng looked quite helpless.

"In that case, then I want to sign up for this doubles tournament." Pansizzy spoke his mind.

"You're going to play in doubles? Not kidding, right? Coach Zheng was surprised.

"Yes, I hope the coach will allow my request." Pansizzy didn't look like he was joking.

"But why haven't I heard you say you're interested in doubles before? By the way, if you want to participate in the competition, you have to have a partner, do you have a choice? ”

"My partner is Lin Teng, and I am ready to sign up for this doubles tournament with him." Pansiqi replied.

"Lin Teng? No, no, no, you two are the main players in the singles this time, and if you participate in the doubles at the same time, it will seriously involve your energy. After all, singles is our top priority, and neither Director Xiao nor I will allow this to happen. Coach Zheng refused without even thinking about it.

"Coach, if I say that I am going for the championship in this doubles competition, you still won't let us participate?" Pansic asked with a grin.

"Champion? Hahahaha, if you can win the championship, of course you have to compete. Although doubles is not as influential as singles, it is also a national champion after all, which is still a great honor. Especially for our Beijing team, it can be regarded as a major breakthrough. Coach Zheng replied loudly.

"Haha, so it seems that the coach said yes?" Pansic said happily.

"Wait, what did I promise?" Coach Zheng looked at a foolish expression. "You don't really think you can win the championship, do you? You must know that doubles and singles can be regarded as two events, although you are strong in singles, it does not mean that you can play doubles well. And I see that you almost never train in doubles, and you can't compete with the top combinations. Xiao Pan, we still have to be down-to-earth, step by step, but we can't be ambitious. ”

"Coach, you don't believe in my doubles level so much? What exactly do you have to do to allow me to participate in the doubles tournament? Pansiqi asked.

"It's okay to participate in the doubles match, unless you and Lin Teng can win the two doubles pairs this time by a huge margin. Although the two pairs are not too competitive in the country, they are already the strongest combination that the Beijing team can take now. If you can really beat them by a big margin, I can consider letting you compete. Otherwise, you and Lin Teng will obediently prepare for the singles match. Coach Zheng gave his own conditions.

"Well, it's a deal! Coach, when are we going to play? Lin Teng immediately agreed.

"Yo, it looks like you're really determined to compete in doubles. Okay, tonight is the deadline to submit the entry list, so let's play the doubles match in the afternoon. Seeing Panci's determination, Coach Zheng felt that if Panci's idea was not stopped, it might affect his performance in the singles match. Therefore, it was directly decided that the Pansiqi combination and the two main pairs of doubles would compete in the afternoon.

"What, you want me to join you in a doubles match? But uncle, I've only practiced singles before, never doubles. I don't even know the basic tactics of doubles. Hearing Pan Xiqi ask him to participate in the doubles match with him, Lin Teng was taken aback and hurriedly explained.

"Hehe, one of the characteristics of my partner is that you don't need to play doubles. You just need to stand in front of the net and 。。。。。。 Pan Xiqi began to introduce Lin Teng's unique "Pan Position", listening to Lin Teng's mouth gradually widen.

"Really, uncle? I just have to be in front of the net and take charge of the volley, nothing else? Does it work? Lin Teng expressed serious doubts about Pansiqi's tactics.

"Trust me, absolutely no problem. You just said that as a professional player, can you do what I just said? Pansic asked with a smile.

"Isn't this nonsense? If you want me to talk about your requirements, not to mention professional players, even amateurs are easy. Is it just really possible? Won't this be too stressful for you? Lin Teng felt that he only needed to take care of a small area in the competition, and the rest belonged to Pansiqi, and he was a little worried that he would not be able to cope with it.

"Hehe, you forgot that I also won the doubles competition in Shanghai. That's the tactic I used at that time, and my partner, Da Wei, you shouldn't be a stranger, right? ”

"It's the uncle who doesn't know how to play at all! Uncle, you can win the championship with this kind of junior player, it seems that you really have a set. However, the Shanghai station is only an amateur race after all, and there is no comparison with the next national grand prix. “

"But aren't you and Da Wei also not comparable? Are you afraid? You don't feel like you're even an amateur, do you? Pansic used the agitation method.

"Hmph, how is that possible. Okay, I'll promise you to go to the doubles tournament with you. Lin Teng was obviously hit in the sore spot by Pan Xiqi, and agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, this is Lin Teng with courage. However, before participating in the competition, we have to meet our team's main doubles, and we will take this opportunity to practice and familiarize you with my style of play. Pan Xiqi smiled darkly, thinking that he would use the two main pairs of doubles as a whetstone for Lin Teng to participate in the doubles competition.
