Chapter 67: Veteran Satoshi Iwabuchi

Today is the third round of the game, in the game of 32 players, this round of the game can also be called the eighths of the finals, the whole game of 32 players, to this round of fishing in troubled waters to get points are almost eliminated, most of the remaining players have a certain strength, for the players who are interested in winning the championship, now is the time for the game to really start.

As for fishing in troubled waters, Fan Ju didn't think he was wrong, he was referring to those local Indian players, not that Fan Ju had any discrimination, but there were 1o Indian players when he entered the main competition, except for a few players who were eliminated from each other, only one lone seedling was left after only two rounds, which is indeed difficult for Fan Ju to find any reason for them to comfort.

It is both a home field and the environment and state are still advantageous, but even so, Fan Ju didn't expect to meet the local player who was ranked in the top half of the division, the Indian player Rembrandt didn't even mention it, obviously in the first half of the division except for the nerve knife named Todel, the strength of others could not enter his eyes.

"When we first met, I was Satoshi Iwabuchi from Japan, so please take care of me for the next match." After Satoshi Iwabuchi came to the arena, he very politely found Fan Ju to say hello, and what he said was still in Chinese.

Fan Ju was quite surprised by this, but after that, Iwabuchi Satoshi returned to English, and apparently he only used this greeting in Chinese.

Satoshi Iwabuchi is a veteran of the Japanese team, and his strength is of course very solid, especially when he often participates in competitions in Asia, I don't know how many times I have been to China, such as the doubles competition of the Asian Games, he has participated in it twice, and it is inevitable that he has learned some common words of greeting between players in international exchanges.

"Your English is very good, unlike the English here in India, which is not standard at all, and I have been here several times, and I can't understand what they are saying." Taking advantage of the fact that the game had not yet started, Satoshi Iwabuchi still complained about the English of this country in passing.

Fan Ju heard that he wanted to wipe his sweat, big brother, your English is not standard, is it good, if it weren't for Fan Ju himself who also knows Japanese, he knows what kind of virtue Japanese English is, it is estimated that Iwabuchi Satoshi will have to guess his English to understand what it means.

The pre-game communication can not affect the normal game, and the audience outside the stadium is still less than 100 people, but Fan Ju has long been used to it, if you want more spectators, you have to go to high-level competitions, and only by constantly moving forward can you be qualified to enjoy the applause and admiration of the audience.

Back to the game, Fan Ju naturally paid attention to the players that Rembrandt valued, and he did show his opponents, which is very characteristic of a professional Japanese tennis player.

What are the characteristics of tennis in Japan? If you look at it in this era, it is very formulaic to play, execute tactics at a glance, and swing your strength on the court.

But to put it mildly, there is no change in the play, and maybe there can be some achievements in the doubles that need to be cooperated, but if it is in the singles, it is impossible to be a Top1o player.

The Japanese tennis community itself is aware of this problem, which is why students like Kei Nishikori who have been studying abroad since childhood have appeared, and they want to break the limitations of Japan's local profession and make their tennis truly global, rather than their own domestic game.

The Japan Professional Tennis Association is known as JTa, and only players with a high enough JTa ranking can enter the professional tournament, which is somewhat similar to the domestic national rankings, which are not part of the Tpa's big rankings, and are specifically aimed at domestic unranked professional tennis players.

Players on this ranking can basically find their sponsors, including large multinational companies such as Sony, as well as clothing brands such as Uniqlo, it can be said that Japan's enthusiasm for tennis is still very high, but there is no enthusiasm for the birth of top players who can not support this enthusiasm.

Although Iwabuchi's current world ranking is not too high, only more than 38o, and the total prize money last year was only 86oo US dollars, and this prize money will certainly not support the cost of his several overseas competitions a year, but relying on the fifth ranking in China, he can get sponsorship from big companies and get more aTp points.

Fan Ju's expenses for learning football and playing abroad are all on his own, even if he can advance in advance with the support of Img, but after all, Img is only a brokerage company, not a brand sponsor, and this money will eventually be spent from Fan Ju's future income.

Compared to Satoshi Iwabuchi, not only can he compete abroad without spending his own money, but he also has a higher salary than the average salaried class in China, and at the same time has additional advertising and sponsorship fees, even if he retires, he can join the sponsorship company he signed with, which can be said to completely eliminate the worries of his career.

If Fan Ju doesn't go abroad, even if he hits the world's Top 3oo ranking, I'm afraid it's not a sponsor, but a hungry wolf who wants to take a bite from his prize money.

Not to mention the difference between Fan Ju and Satoshi Iwabuchi, the game on the court has already begun, Fan Ju has the ball first, and he plans to start the game with a bomb ball that bounces more vigorously after landing on the clay.

Seeing Fan Ju's "high" ball that passed 19o kilometers, Iwabuchi Satoshi was stunned at first, but this did not make his tempered receiving skills miss the ball, but he was stunned when the ball came to his hand, which was the reaction of opponents who received Fan Ju's "bomb ball" for the first time.

Satoshi Iwabuchi's catching skills are very good, especially this kind of straight catch, even if the bomb ball is not very comfortable to catch, but he has used a 21o km ball machine to practice catching the ball when he is training in China, so this degree is not fast for him.

This is the only way to simulate a world-class ball that no professional player in Japan can hit, and only in this way can you hone your steady catching skills without being completely suppressed by the balls of European and American players.

However, the ball landed too squarely, Fan Ju didn't even move in the center of the backcourt, and with a forehand in an open position, the ball was hit back with a strong topspin.

The fierce spin made the return ball fall extremely just after the net belt, which scared Iwabuchi Satoshi too late to be stunned again, and could only barely hit the ball in the process of running back to the position quickly, so as not to be scored immediately by the opponent.

"Cut, it's not powerful!" Fan Ju once again hit back the soft return ball, this kind of incoming ball is basically equal to a small half of the high throw, the degree is very slow and there is no rotation, a bit like a flat shot, Fan Ju has to add a force to raise the ball again.

However, this kind of powerless ball also means that Iwabuchi Satoshi's bottom line was completely suppressed by Fan Ju, beat after beat, and constantly suppressed Iwabuchi Satoshi in the bottom corner of the right, after Fan Ju felt almost the same, he changed the position of the hitting point on the fourth return ball, a fast right line, and the opponent ran quickly, but now Fan Ju's landing point is too forward, and the angle is too tricky, and he can't be saved at all!

"Doesn't that look like this opponent?" Fan Ju muttered slightly, although the foundation is quite solid, and he has not returned the ball out of bounds after being suppressed several times, but he lacks the ability to counter-suppress the real bottom line.

Just when Fan Ju suspected that Rembrandt's observation was wrong, the opponent made a change on the court, and Fan Ju had just hit back the ball he received, and now the opponent's response had changed!

A sudden cutting ball made Fan Ju's return power too large, the opponent played very cautiously, the cutting was full of force, the bounce height was very low, Fan Ju barely picked up the ball but also out of bounds.

In his own advantageous opening game, he was moved back by the opponent by one point, Fan Ju felt some interest, and the muttering just now disappeared in an instant, and carefully analyzed the changes in his starting hand.

"It's a good way to use cutting, cutting on red clay is more powerful, and it can also be reduced and destroy your own rhythm, it seems that this ranking is not for nothing."

Fan Ju was going to play with the normal tactics of forehand baseline suppression at the beginning, but the effect was not obvious, Iwabuchi Satoshi was obviously very suitable for this "rule" style of play, and in the face of Fan Ju's baseline heavy hitting, he chose to use the cutting ball to unload the power and degree of the ball.

This is indeed a temporary crack to Fan Ju's topspin heavy pressure ball, but it may not be a good method, especially when Fan Ju concentrates his energy, the kind of small ball or side cut is judged early, whether it is a reverse cut to put the ball, or a stronger forehand to fight back, it is impossible for Iwabuchi Satoshi to find Fan Ju's bottom line weakness.

"This opponent is not simple, when did China have such a powerful young player?" Seeing such a ferocious example on the bottom line, the Japanese veteran couldn't help but mutter.

Satoshi Iwabuchi has also been playing professionally for many years, competing in low-level tournaments in Asian countries such as Japan, South Korea, and India, as well as low-level tournaments in the top regions of tennis in Australia, the United States.

But he has never encountered a young player like Fan Ju, the bottom line almost overwhelms him, and the advantage of the ball and the bottom line makes him feel the world-class level on the ball machine, which is only 17 years old! If you train for a few years, won't Japanese tennis never turn over?

Of course, what worries Iwabuchi even more is that China's sports system has always been a national system, and if a large number of outstanding players appear like table tennis diving in the past, once they mature and go out to participate in competitions, they will definitely grab a large number of places in the main competition of Asian middle and low-level competitions, and it will be very difficult for domestic players to even get aTp points.

If Fan Ju knew that Iwabuchi Satoshi was thinking so far, he would definitely persuade him to relax, maybe there would be such a situation after he reached the top of the world or even retired, as for the current Chinese men's tennis, in addition to him in the future, he will not be able to catch up with Japan that has begun to change positively in another 1o years.

This is not to look down on China, but to conclude after investing money and the average tennis population and number of courts, that a country with a population of tens or millions of people may not be able to find a tennis court in a country that can produce professional players who need a high level of training intensity? It's just a joke.
