With the National Tennis Grand Prix approaching, the competitive atmosphere in the Beijing team is getting stronger and stronger. The women's team aside, the men's team has already booked a seat in advance for the only three main places in Pansic, so the remaining two places are particularly precious.

Especially before Pan Xiqi and Lin Teng joined the team, no player in the Beijing men's team was particularly outstanding, everyone's strength was between the best, and the victory or defeat depended on the on-the-spot performance. As a result, the number of people who are expected to qualify for the main team has reached six or seven, and the relationship between the players has become more delicate as the competition has intensified.

Man is a very strange animal, no matter how fierce the previous fight was, but in the face of new competitors joining, they often forget the previous grievances, but choose to be the first to the outside world. Therefore, Lin Teng, a new recruit, has become a thorn in the side of all the main candidates at this time.

It stands to reason that Pansiqi should be more hated by them, but Pansiqi's performance on the day he joined the team was so amazing that it could be described as crushing. For players of this level, no matter how reluctant those male players are, they can't raise any thoughts of confrontation.

Lin Teng is different, although he is an excellent graduate who returned from the United States, after all, he has not shown his strength in front of the whole team, so those veteran players are actually not very afraid in their hearts. Just looking at Lin Teng's age when he just turned eighteen, in the eyes of most people, he thinks he is just a young player. In comparison, defeating Lin Teng in the selection competition has become a task that everyone feels can and must complete.

In addition, judging from Lin Teng's appearance for Pan Xiqi on the day he joined the team, he knew that the two had a great relationship. If Lin Teng can be kicked out of the main lineup, it is equivalent to slapping Pan Xiqi in the face. Although he couldn't defeat Panci head-on, he was also happy to be able to make him deflated in other ways.

However, for these undercurrents in the team, Pan Xiqi and Lin Teng are completely unaware. The two of them are now busy with their own training tasks every day, and they don't have time to think about anything else.

Pansiqi is continuing his double-intensity training, ready to fully consolidate his physical abilities in the remaining half month. As long as he can ensure the normal use of one-third of his strength, I believe that he will definitely bring a big surprise to everyone in the next National Tennis Grand Prix.

In contrast, Lin Teng trained harder than before, although he felt that his skills had improved significantly after Pan Xiqi's sparring, but after all, he had never touched those veteran players before, and he didn't know their strength, so he couldn't take it too lightly.

Time passed quickly, and a week before the National Tennis Grand Prix, the team selection tournament for the Beijing team was finally about to begin. Before the game started, Coach Zheng approached Pansic.

"I said Xiao Pan, I have been following your training for more than two months, and I am very satisfied with your training results. Now look at your figure, it's very close to a professional tennis player. Coach Zheng said kindly.

"Hehe, it's all thanks to the team that has created such good training conditions for me, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to make such great progress in such a short period of time." Pansiqi expressed his gratitude.

"You know, in a week we're going to send players to the National Grand Prix. For domestic men's tennis players, this can be regarded as the most important tournament of the year. I wonder if you can participate in the event based on your current physical condition? If you don't think you're ready, then the team won't send you there this time, after all, our long-term goal is still for the National Games. Coach Zheng asked nervously.

Seeing this, you may find it strange. Since as a professional tennis player, the most important thing should not be to participate in professional tennis tournaments such as the four Grand Slams, why did Coach Zheng never mention it, but focused on domestic tennis competitions.

In fact, it's not that Coach Zheng doesn't want to mention it, but it's really unqualified. Anyone who works in tennis knows that the four Grand Slams are the crowning honor of tennis and the highest dream of all tennis players. In the career of a tennis player, even if he can win a Grand Slam, he will immediately go down in history and become a hero of tennis in his country.

However, tennis is a sport dominated by European and American players after all, and the four Grand Slams are basically dominated by European and American players. Although there have been many excellent tennis players in Asia before, they are only at a quasi-first-class level, and they are far from reaching the level of winning Grand Slam titles.

It wasn't until Sister Na was born out of thin air that she won the French Open and the Australian Open in one fell swoop, breaking the embarrassing record of Asian players winning 0 Grand Slam championships, and also making Sister Na a super idol of tennis lovers all over Asia overnight.

However, with the retirement of Sister Na, Chinese women's tennis has fallen into a state of no successor, and I don't know how many years China will have to wait for the next Grand Slam championship. The closest Asian can get to a Grand Slam title is Japan's Kei Nishikori, but having reached the final of the US Open, he has been hampered by injuries this year and is not at his best, so it seems that the time for another Asian player to reach the top podium of a Grand Slam is still far away.

For Chinese men's tennis players, that's another story. Not to mention Grand Slam titles, even participating in Grand Slam tournaments is an unattainable dream for most male tennis players. How to describe how low the level of Chinese men's tennis is? I think we can compare it with the Chinese men's football team. Even the national football team can occasionally show its face in Asia if it plays well, but men's tennis is weak in Asia, and it has almost never achieved outstanding results.

Therefore, for domestic men's tennis players, the World Professional Tour can be regarded as almost no bright day, and it is unrealistic to expect to achieve results by participating in world competitions. At this time, they will naturally look at the tennis tournaments held in China. Even if I'm not at the same level, it's better to win a national first prize than nothing.

In this way, the quadrennial National Games championship has basically become the highest honor in the career of domestic men's tennis players and coaches, and it is also the ultimate goal to pursue. Even in the eyes of many athletes, the National Games title is more important than the Grand Slam title. After all, one is within reach, and the other is the moon in the mirror, which is too far away from him.

A bit of a stretch, let's come back to Pansiqi. Pan Xiqi smiled and said to Coach Zheng: "Coach, are you worried that my body can't keep up and I can't participate in the competition?" Don't worry, since I promised you that I would definitely participate in the competition in three months, then I will definitely not be absent at that time. ”

Seeing Pan Xiqi so sure, Coach Zheng's hanging heart fell. In this National Tennis Grand Prix, if the Beijing team wants to achieve a blockbuster and achieve good results, it all depends on Pansiqi's performance, and if he can't participate, he will have to wait another year. It has been too long since the Beijing team won the national championship, so Coach Zheng has high expectations for this competition.

"Great, with you as the captain of the formation, I believe that our Beijing team will definitely impress the whole country this year." Coach Zheng clenched his fists excitedly.

"By the way, the day you joined the team, you were sure that we were the absolute main force of the team. Therefore, I don't think you need to participate in the next team tryouts. Coach Zheng said.

"Coach, I'm afraid that's not right, right? If you don't pass the selection competition, you will be the main force, and I am afraid that others will not be convinced. Pansiqi was a little unsure.

"Hey, you don't know how prestigious you are on the team right now, do you? You cleaned up those boys that day, and now they are all obedient to you, you are the main force, how can anyone dare to say a word. Coach Zheng replied with a smile.

"That's right. Well, I'm not going to participate in the tryouts, so I won't mess with everyone. In this way, Pansiqi took the lead in booking a main position.
