Chapter 42: Coming and Not Being Rude (Three Watches)
Zhang Guan participates in the Australian Open!
This news was like a bolt from the blue, and it instantly occupied the headlines of major media.
The last news about Zhang Guan was a month ago, when Zhang Guan won seven consecutive gold medals in the Asian Games track and field, and at that time there was still talk of Zhang Guan becoming the greatest track and field athlete in history, and just a month later, Zhang Guan became a tennis professional, not only in the Grand Slam level, but also in the top eight of the Australian Open.
In China, tennis is not a very popular sport, compared to table tennis, badminton, etc., tennis can be regarded as an unpopular ball game, so the general public does not understand what kind of status the Grand Slam level event has in the tennis world, let alone what the concept of entering the top eight of the Australian Open is, everyone cares about Zhang Guan has made a breakthrough for Chinese sports and created history.
However, sports professionals, especially tennis professionals, were taken aback by the news. Competing in Grand Slam tournaments is the dream of countless tennis professionals, not to mention advancing to the top eight. The top eight at the Grand Slam level need to eliminate one strong opponent after another, even if the opponent is the kind of player ranked more than 100 in the world, which is still an unattainable goal for domestic tennis professionals. Looking at Zhang Guan's opponents who advanced all the way, Roches, Grosjean, Nalbandian, and Haas, three of the four opponents are seeded players, and the names of these opponents are enough to prove that Zhang Guan's strength is qualified to stand in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open.
On the TV station, CCTV's sports channel also began to broadcast videos of Zhang Guan's previous rounds, especially Zhang Guan's match against Nalbandian, which was very popular with domestic fans. Nalbandian, the world's No. 1 backhandman, still has a lot of status in the hearts of domestic tennis fans, and the match between Zhang Guan and Nalbandian is also regarded as a strong matchup.

A restaurant on the Bund.
Sitting in front of Hong Zinan was a middle-aged man in his thirties, this man had very dark skin and a hint of vicissitudes on his face.
The man's name was Zhou Hua and he was a veteran journalist. He is also very famous in the industry, because he often makes some exclusive reports, and even goes back to expose some things that others dare not report.
"Senior sister, you came to me today, what exclusive news do you want to cheapen me?" Zhou Hua asked.
Zhou Hua and Hong Zinan graduated from the same university, although the two are several levels apart and have different majors, Zhou Hua still calls Hong Zinan "senior sister" on weekdays.
"Do you want to know about Zhang Guan?" Hong Zinan said with a smile.
"Of course! When I saw the news of Zhang Guan's participation in the Australian Open, I was stunned! Now the most discussed thing on the Internet is Zhang Guan's participation in the Australian Open. Zhou Hua wiped his mouth with a napkin. continued: "I almost forgot that Senior Sister is now a member of Zhang Guan's agent team, you must have sensational news, right?" ”
Hong Zinan nodded mysteriously and said softly: "I'm giving you exclusive revelations!" Now Zhang Guan is being banned! ”
"Banned!" Zhou Hua grew his mouth, obviously not understanding what Hong Zinan meant.
"Don't you think it's strange, why Zhang Guan was banned and went to Australia to play tennis at the same time?" Hong Zinan saw Zhou Hua nodding desperately on the other side, and he didn't sell it anymore, and explained directly: "After the Asian Games last year." The Athletics Management Center banned Zhang Guan for half a year! ”
"Why?" Zhou Hua asked.
"See for yourself!" Hong Zinan took out an envelope from the field management center and handed it to Zhou Hua, who opened it and saw that inside was a copy of the punishment decision issued by the field management center to Zhang Guan.
"Disobedience to management. Don't participate in training and go abroad in violation of regulations? Zhou Hua raised his head inexplicably and asked, "Senior sister, what's going on?" ”
"What's going on? You have to ask the field management center! Hong Zinan continued: "That's right. It's been a week since the Australian Open was played, and you have only now seen the relevant news reports about Zhang Guan's participation in the Australian Open, don't you think it's strange? ”
"These days I've been running a survey of the Spring Festival scalpers. I really didn't pay much attention to this, do you mean that during this time, Zhang Guan was banned? Zhou Hua asked.
Hong Zinan didn't admit it, nor did he deny it, but said: "This kind of thing, you can go back and ask your leaders, and you must have received a notice from above." ”
Zhou Hua looked at the copy of the punishment decision again, and said, "Senior sister, is it true that Zhang Guan did not participate in training and went abroad in violation of regulations?" ”
"Zhang Guan's destination abroad is Australia. As for what he was doing in Australia, it was all reported on the news now. Hong Zinan said and took out another envelope, handed it to Zhou Huadao, "You look at this again." ”
"This is Zhang Guan's leave application, Zhang Guan applied for a two-month vacation after the Asian Games, and the destination was clearly written as Australia, this leave application has been approved! Why did the penalty decision say that Zhang Guan went abroad in violation of regulations? Isn't that inconsistent? Could it be that someone is deliberately targeting Zhang Guan? Zhou Hua already smelled a hint of conspiracy.
"It looks like things are more twisty than expected! If this is reported, it will definitely be sensational. Zhou Hua silently put away the two envelopes.
……
Seeing Zhou Hua away, Hong Zinan dialed He Yiming's phone.
"Mr. He, everything has been done on my side, and Zhou Hua has taken all the materials away." Hong Zinan opened his mouth and said.
He Yiming nodded: "Come and don't be rude, in this matter, we can't be beaten so passively." Director Qu secretly did some things, although I don't know about it, but I can guess that there are some things in it that must not see the light, if you really want to dig deeper, Director Qu must be the first one who can't sit still. ”
……
"Behind Zhang Guan's Australian Open quarterfinals is a ban punishment":
