Fan Ju stayed in New York for 4 days, but the time to be alone with Sister Yan was very limited, Caroline and calfskin candy stuck to the two of them, which made Fan Ju beat or scold, only at night, the two could stay alone.

The sun is shining in California, and there are still 10 days to go in May, but the streets are already full of people shopping in short bodies.

"It's still like this, the hot sunshine, the warm climate, it's a really good place." Fan Ju looked up at the training ground where the silhouette could already be seen in the distance, and nostalgia arose.

With only a month to go until the '03 French Open, which kicks off on May 26, Fan Ju's break is only short.

He may have to thank the guys who were mischievous at home, without whom he wouldn't have stayed in New York for more than two days, and because they had to move his trip earlier, he also had more "pleasant" time together.

"Hey, old Nick, I haven't seen you in a few months, you're still so energetic!" Fan Ju walked around the training ground, and saw many familiar faces waving to him along the way, but Fan Ju did not disturb their training, and after shaking his hand with a smile, he continued to look for it on the training ground.

Old Nick is still like that, sleeveless T-shirt and handsome sunglasses, Fan Ju saw him, this old man is energetically waving a racket to demonstrate to the young players, very energetic and energetic, enjoying the happy tennis he is proud of.

"Come and see if our champion is back, the kids see if they do. Play an upspin like he did, and you'll not be afraid of any enemies on the court. "Nick Sr. is very happy, both for the exemplary results. It's also because I was able to see this proud student again.

Fan Ju smiled and raised his hands to the sky, as if he was holding a heavy trophy in both hands, doing cheers and celebrations, and everyone on the training ground showed a happy smile, very sincere, without a trace of hidden smiles.

Old Nick continued to attend his lessons, and Fan Ju did not leave. He sat and listened to Old Nick explain the technical movements that had been disassembled, all of which he had learned in the past and slowly revised. Gradual correction has made a qualitative change in his skills.

"How? Are you still happy? Old Nick patted Fan Ju on the shoulder and asked.

"It's good, but if it was stronger, I think it would be happier." Fan Ju does not hide his desires. Or the purpose of his return to online school.

Originally, IMG had arranged a event for Fan Ju on April 21. The clay tournament in Houston, which is also the only tennis tour-level tournament in the United States of a year, is designed to familiarize Fan Ju with what it takes for senior players to compete.

Fan Ju had always wanted to participate in high-level competitions because it was the only way to have higher points and results, but with the end of the challenge, Fan Ju thought about a lot of problems, and he finally turned down the tournament.

"I'm going back to the online school, for the tour. I'm not ready right now. "Fan Ju is a person who is not willing to admit defeat, and he is also not afraid of challenges.

But the final of the challenge against Nadal. Did he really feel his own shortcomings, and use the skills that can only occupy the middle of the tour to participate in the tour? What if you win a few games?

He'll face not only the Tour, but also the Masters, Grand Slams, and even more high-level players.

Unless he wants to lose all day, then solving the weaknesses and strengthening his strengths is the first thing to solve.

"It's not easy...... Not to mention that you only have 2 weeks. Old Nick was a little hesitant about Fan Ju's request, he knew that his student was very capable of learning, but his requirements were enough to change not only by learning ability.

Fan Ju shook his head, his eyes were very firm: "I know that there is not enough time, but I hope that the change can start as soon as possible, even if it will have some impact on stability, but the faster you change, the faster you can reduce the speed at which you want to climb to the top." ”

Fan Ju knew very well that what he lacked was the ten years of accumulated time accumulated by other players, and too much of his current skills were improvised.

"The speed and stability of the serve, the control of the cutting ball, the increased backhand swing, the stability of the forehand, the explosiveness of the power and the movement of the baseline, we can't solve it all at once, we should find your most urgent problems first, and then those secondary technical problems." Old Nick had been watching Fan Ju's game, and he knew exactly what Fan Ju was missing.

Old Nick was surprised, but he didn't doubt it, because he saw the roots of the technique rather than the external score table.

Which basic techniques have not changed, the reaction speed of Fan Ju in the knowledge competition will be faster, and those problems will be better and deeper.

For his seemingly "perfect" technique, Old Nick can casually say so many problems, he doesn't feel experienced at all, and among the students the old man has taught, he may not even rank in the top ten.

Old Nick has a unique vision, and he also has his insistence on technology and play, Fan Ju is very convinced of the old man, he needs someone to help him find a solution, Old Nick is undoubtedly the best and the most effective way.

"Serve?" Old Nick listened to Fan Ju's thoughts, and after hearing the serve, he suddenly felt that the little guy in front of him was really not an ordinary character.

"It's a good choice, but it's not enough, you have to start increasing your muscles, whether it's serving or swinging, you need to have a more powerful engine to achieve the best results!"

Strength and speed training, Fan Ju has always heard Raschet mention it in Italy, but Fan Ju is very satisfied with his strength and speed, and his current physical state can hardly meet a player who can suppress himself under physical conditions.

Even the thinner opponents of the large army need to worry about whether the strength of their forehand and backhand will be suppressed.

In the game, the only thing that made Fan Ju feel a trace of pressure was Nadal's backhand suppression, high spin and strong power, not weaker than the forehand power double reaction ability.

Seeing that Fan Ju didn't understand, Old Nick didn't speak, he didn't like too many explanations, and directly told the students with actions, so that the students could learn to remember with their bodies, this is his real teaching method.

The two walked to a training ground, and Fan Ju spotted several familiar faces.

"Hey Wayne, John, are the guys alright?" Fan Ju hugged and greeted each other affectionately, regardless of the sweat on the two of them.

The coach on the side did not reprimand Fan Ju for disturbing the training of the two, because the appearance of Old Nick meant that special training was about to begin.

Fan Ju was wearing a sportswear, although he had just arrived, but he was already a ready outfit for sports, and the only thing missing now was a suitable racket, not that he forgot to bring it, but that the previous racket still needed to be adjusted in terms of tension after the game.

"Come, bring me the racket to adjust the strength and use the training, Wayne, John, you two take turns to receive the serve, tell me how you feel." Depending on the situation, there is no need for Fan Ju to borrow a racket, Old Nick has his own arrangements.

The racket used for power adjustment, Fan Ju has not used it in the past, his previous strength has always been very stable, and the only thing that has changed is only according to the technique of serving, and gradually stabilizing the serving state.

But he'd seen others use the racket, from the lowest 45 pounds to the highest 70 pounds, with a different racket every 5 pounds.

Old Nick asked Fan to try it one by one, with a smile on his face, as if he was waiting to see something.

Fan Ju did not hesitate, he tried rackets of different tensions, he himself is not a particularly picky person about rackets, it may also be because his own stability is not strong, but the subtle changes will not be so obvious.

"It's so light!" The lowest pound racket, the moment Fan Ju waved the racket to serve, he suddenly didn't seem to feel the storage of the ball.

He knew it wasn't an illusion, it was just the reduced tension that gave him the illusion.

“OUT！” Fan Ju was slightly surprised, he did hit the center of the ball in the shot just now, and the landing point was not towards a particularly tricky position, a conservative landing point close to the second serve, OUT is really a bit exaggerated.

"Change to a racket, use a 50-pound one, and keep serving." Old Nick didn't wait for Fan Ju to think clearly, and immediately changed his racket.

It's still a serve, and it's very close to the tension that Fan Ju usually uses, although 45 pounds is not much worse, but the higher the tension, the better the racket, and Fan Ju feels that he should be able to send it into bounds.

The racket was swung out, and the ball did fall into the boundary, but Wayne on the opposite side did not feel any pressure, the return of the forehand position was very smooth, Fan Juben subconsciously completed the run, but Wayne directly pulled out a deep arc.

"Choke!" Wayne cheered and clapped his hands with John Isner on the side in celebration, and a beautiful return shot went straight to the score, still from Fan Ju.

"Continue to ......" changed the racket and changed the person who received the ball, but Fan Ju began to gradually lose control of the ball, as if something ran out of his control, the ball was in bounds, but the power, speed and spin became completely unfamiliar.

What the hell is going on? Fan Ju felt very uncomfortable, although his serve was not the most advantageous weapon, but he had not suffered such a loss in the game, but at the moment, it was just a simple simulation of the serve, and he had been directly hit by the opposite side of several serve returns to score directly.

"Is it a racket, shouldn't say a change in power! Once you build up your serve, you lose the familiar control...... I see. (To be continued......)
