Tennis: He's so obedient!

Chapter 156 What random cards? I want two! (Please subscribe)

[Ding, suggestion received. Please explain the game tactics to the club members. Suggestion reward: +2 Intermediate Tactics Points (can be repeated)]

Jiang Hong's eyes lit up. After the Tokyo Open, Jiang Hong felt he should improve his tactical skills.

Previously, if Jiang Hong wanted to improve his tactics, he could only review those matches himself, and the improvement was very slow.

Explaining tactics is not difficult in itself; these are...
These aren't just members, they're practically my experience points!
Grab it and refine it into your own tactical point.

"There's no other way to execute the techniques except through more practice, and you'll gradually master them. As for tactics, I can give you a brief overview."

Jiang Hong's Tactics Mini-Lesson is now open!
The moment those words were spoken, the tennis club members' eyes lit up.

This is a top 100 professional player in the world personally explaining tactics; you can't necessarily hire someone even if you have money.

"For you, the most common tactic is to hold the line!"

No sooner had these words been spoken than someone raised their hand and said in a serious tone.

"Brother Jiang, something's not right. Our most common serve either wins the game if we return it, or we lose if we don't!"

“Our matches usually focus on the first three shots. If you don’t die, then I’ll show you.”

"Brother Jiang thought this was basic instruction for us, but it turns out it's already an advanced version!"

At this moment, Jiang Hong was also speechless, realizing that he had overestimated them.

It turns out that there are only two or three members in the school's tennis club each year who can join without any requirements.

However, this year, due to Jiang Hong's influence, a total of thirty new members were recruited, and these were after a selection process.

Only three of them had a basic tennis background; the rest were just starting out.

Before Jiang Hong could speak, the second- and third-year students immediately spoke up.

"It's alright, you'll be able to hit longer rallies with more practice. Brother Jiang, please continue!"

Seeing that everyone had quieted down and was obediently preparing to listen to the lecture, Jiang Hongcai continued.

"If you practice more, you'll eventually reach the point where you can hold the ball at the baseline. Right now, the first thing you need to do is get the ball back."

"Let's continue talking about baseline rallies. At the start of the game, you can use deep shots in the middle as a way to probe the opponent. There are two reasons for doing this."

"Firstly, it's harder for the opponent to create an angle for a counterattack; secondly, it's easier to observe the opponent's weaknesses, and then you can seize those weaknesses to relentlessly attack..."

Even though they couldn't understand what the new members were saying, they still took notes carefully.

After all, some players were thinking that since Jiang Hong could start from the tennis club and become the number one tennis player in China, then maybe they also had a chance.

Just like countless extras flocked to Hengdian because of Baoqiang, hoping to become big stars one day.

However, the probability of this is much smaller than winning the lottery.

So everyone carefully memorized the tactics Jiang Hong explained.

Many of the older members' eyes lit up as they listened to Jiang Hong's explanation; before, they had just practiced their ball skills to the point of exhaustion.

As for tactics, it was basically just a matter of bombardment.

After Jiang Hong's explanation, everything became clear. So that's how the game should be played!

"...Finally, I hope tennis brings you joy!"

The mechanical voice sounded in Jiang Hong's ear again.

[Ding, the suggestion has been completed. Would you like to claim it?]

After explaining the tactical thinking, Jiang Hong began his technical training for the day.

After all, there isn't much time left for him in the next game.

Jiang Hong didn't want to miss this exciting match.

Morning practice includes serving, dropping, and receiving small balls.

Afternoon physical training: upper body strength and lower body strength.

Many members were initially curious about Jiang Hong's training, but as time went on, fewer and fewer people were around him.

Because these training contents are so boring, they are tedious to look at, and they are repetitive.

At first, Jiang Hong also found it boring, but the constantly flashing progress bar showed him the direction to work towards.

He didn't know if he could have kept going without this progress bar.

The principle of "Heaven rewards diligence" has always been a luxury.

After training, Jiang Hong took a shower, lay on the bed, and silently recited a phrase in his mind.

"System, draw a card for me!"

Instantly, you can see your previous opponents on the system panel, constantly flashing past your eyes.

Even the images of Li Hua and Yu Xinyuan appear in it.

"Please, please don't draw them!"

Frankly speaking, the sparring partner Donald Yang could provide for Jiang Hong before was already very ineffective.

They urgently need a top-level player to be their virtual sparring partner.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Gasquet Virtual Training Card!]

Jiang Hong's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected to be chosen by him.

Although the opponent's strengths and weaknesses are very obvious, he is definitely a very good virtual sparring partner.

Furthermore, it can help Jiang Hong mentally adapt to the shooting style of a DSLR!
After drinking the "training recovery potion," Jiang Hong immediately covered himself with a blanket.

"Enter the virtual stadium!"

In an instant, Jiang Hong's consciousness began to blur, and after a period of darkness, light gradually appeared.

In an empty stadium, Jiang Hong immediately summoned Gasquet and began to fight.

Although the opponent was unaware, their tactical execution was extremely skillful.

He would even use feints to deceive Jiang Hong, and he was very good at it; Jiang Hong fell for it several times.

During the competition, Jiang Hong deliberately controlled his use of the DSLR camera for attacks.

Now that he possesses the system, Jiang Hong's goal is naturally to become a well-rounded warrior.

Of course, Jiang Hong wouldn't miss out on the coolest DSLR camera. Ultimately, Jiang Hong lost the game in the virtual arena, but instead of being discouraged, he was extremely excited.

Jiang Hong has always thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of battling opponents on the court and defeating them!
The higher and more dangerous the mountain, the greater the sense of accomplishment after reaching the summit.

Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic are all peaks I want to climb.

"continue!"

The tennis ball, tossed high into the air, traced a magnificent arc across the court…

Jiang Hong didn't leave the virtual stadium until dawn.

I opened my eyes, not sleepy at all, but feeling incredibly energetic.

Another day full of energy.

I picked up my phone and glanced at the time: six o'clock.

"Get up, training!"

After brushing his teeth, while his roommate was still asleep, Jiang Hong left the dormitory and headed to the training room to begin his training for the day.

Lean your upper body forward, grip the barbell with an underhand grip, keep your back stable, push off the ground to lift the barbell up your calves...

"16!"

"17!"

"18!"

With a "bang," Jiang Hong put down the barbell, wiped the sweat from his face, and smiled with satisfaction when he saw the words on the panel.

Box Jump: 24/24 (Completed)

Bulgarian split jump: 60/60 (Completed)

……

[Barbell Squat: 32/32 (Completed)]

Deadlift: 18/18 (Completed)

[Russian Rotation: 0/60 times]

【…】

After a short break, "Let's continue!"

Jiang Hong started sweating profusely in the training room again, which has become his daily routine lately.

Jiang Hong's training even caused the training rooms outside to start competing against each other.

In order to improve his tactical skills, Jiang Hong directly invited Li Hua to attend his classes.

"Hey Lao Jiang, I'm not going to play in any matches, so you're just wasting your time explaining all these tactics to me!"

After all, they had finally escaped the clutches of the department head's model dormitory, but before they could even enjoy their happiness for long, Jiang Hong dragged them back to attend a lecture.

Why am I so unlucky?
As a model young man of the 21st century, Jiang Hong has enjoyed so many opportunities; now it's time for him to put his knowledge to good use.

"Hua Zi, as the president of our tennis club, you definitely have to play some training matches. If you master these tactics, you'll be able to dominate the game. Won't all the female students be asking you for tips?" Jiang Hong said, raising an eyebrow.

As soon as Jiang Hong's seductive voice rang out, Li Hua's attitude instantly changed.

His eyes darted around, he coughed, and declared with a righteous air, "For my junior, cough cough, for my fellow club members, as the president of the tennis club, I'm willing to endure this hardship!"

Jiang Hong didn't expose Li Hua's little scheme, and even secretly removed the word "Deputy" from his own title.

In addition to training and lecturing, Jiang Hong also asked Li Gong to find him a sparring partner.

Neither virtual stadiums nor training can replace real matches.

Jiang Hong's sparring sessions are basically the same as official matches, except that he doesn't do any risky moves to avoid injury.

Today, the two sparring partners finally arrived at the school by plane.

The news that Jiang Hong was going to play somehow got out, and the stadium was instantly surrounded, since college students love to join in the fun.

They all started chattering and discussing it.

"Hey, do you guys think Senior Jiang Hong can win?"

"It must be Senior Jiang Hong, he's currently the number one male tennis player!"

"But as the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands; there are two people on the other side!"

That's right, finding an opponent of the same level was obviously impossible, so Li Gong directly found a men's doubles pair for Jiang Hong.

To be honest, although Jiang Hong had found two sparring partners in Tokyo to help with training, neither of them were proficient in doubles.

When receiving the ball, internal conflicts would arise, so the effect of the two people training together was not realized.

This time, we found a pair of professional doubles players for Jiang Hong. Gao Shan and Xie Bixing seemed to have a great chemistry.

They don't have a world ranking; they're the kind of athletes trained by provincial teams to compete in domestic tournaments.

They were also very excited to be Jiang Hong's sparring partners.

After all, playing against professional athletes like these can help one improve.

To improve the sparring effect, Jiang Hong even set up the sidelines as a standard doubles court.

Gao Shan is a net player, while Xie Bixing is a baseline player.

Jiang Hong tossed the tennis ball high into the air, pushed off the ground, spun around, and lashed out with his arm like a whip.

With a loud bang, the racket slammed heavily onto the tennis ball.

I only saw a yellow-green light flash past me.

"what?"

“So fast!”

Gao Shan and Xie Bixing both widened their eyes and exclaimed in surprise.

The tennis ball, which was attached to the wire mesh next to it, rolled to the ground.

At this moment, the two of them were still standing there, stunned.
