Tennis: He's so obedient!

Chapter 85 We are the champions! (Please continue reading)

Jiang Hong was completely stunned the moment he won the game!
Won!

I'm certain I've won the game!
The fatigue and pressure from the long match were all transformed into dopamine at this moment, a bodily reward for the victor!

"we are the champion!"

Jiang Hong raised his racket and shouted loudly.

Jiang Hong's hair was wet, and all he wanted to do was shout it out.

Instantly, the audience in the stands also shouted along with Jiang Hong.

"we are the champion!"

No one expected that Jiang Hong would be the champion of this challenge when he signed up for the competition.

Guo Wei and Yu Zhenhai, sitting in the stands, exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"Jiang Hong, you won the championship! We tennis players have been pursuing the ATP Challenger title for so long, and we've finally won it?" Yu Zhenhai was almost incredulous, wondering if he was hallucinating.

"That's right, Jiang Hong won the championship!" Guo Wei nodded excitedly.

He turned his head and looked at Jiang Hong, who was full of vigor and confidence, in the audience.

"I even think he might be the one to lead the rise of Chinese tennis!"

Chinese athletes have consistently been criticized for their performance in highly professional sports.

Although the ATP Challenger Series is not a high-level event, it is still a significant step forward.

……

"Jiang Hong won! He won!"

"After more than two hours of fierce battle and hundreds of swings, Jiang Hong finally lived up to expectations and won the first tennis challenger championship for a Chinese player!"

That's right, he's the tennis challenger champion.

Li Na won the WTA Tour title in 2004.

However, it is indeed strange that no one in China has won the challenge championship so far.

The commentator's voice was incredibly excited, showing no intention of stopping.

"This match showcased Jiang Hong's tenacious will and superb skills. To be honest, I felt exhausted just watching him, but Jiang Hong persevered and won the championship!"

Meanwhile, in the staff quarters of the Information College in Chang'an!
"Jiang Hong, you won the championship?"

Principal Gao kept muttering to himself, originally thinking that it was already quite an achievement for Jiang Hong to be able to appear on CTV5's live broadcast.

After all, the pre-match commentators had already mentioned that the last time a Chinese player made it into an ATP Challenger tournament was 10 years ago.

As a result, Jiang Hong actually made history!

No, I'll definitely have to reward Jiang Hong properly when he gets back.

Moreover, he didn't forget about the school during the previous interview.

Inside Jiang Hong's small supermarket, everyone was already in a daze.

Only my parents and my little cousin were still watching TV!

The parents were worried about their son.

My younger cousin, being a child, was naturally more energetic.

Suddenly, the excited voice of the commentator came from the TV, "Jiang Hong won! Jiang Hong won the match!"

Instantly, everyone came to their senses.

"Did Xiao Hong win?" Aunt rubbed her eyes and asked, somewhat confused.

Mom and Dad nodded excitedly, "That's right, Xiao Hong won! Xiao Hong won the championship!"

Although they didn't understand tennis, they were still happy for their son!
“I checked beforehand, and my brother will get more than $14,000 after winning the match!”

Upon hearing his younger cousin's words, his uncle's eyes widened instantly.

"Ah, how much would this be in Chinese Yuan?" the uncle next to him immediately asked.

After all, they don't understand sports competitions, but they are very interested in the prize money!

My little cousin immediately tilted her head back and said proudly, "You didn't even know that? It's over 106,000!"

She had specifically checked this beforehand!
"Hiss!" The people inside the room immediately gasped.

"Wow, playing tennis can be so lucrative! I wish my son could play tennis. Xiao Hong is so promising!" Aunt Li, standing nearby, immediately showed an envious expression.

"No way, he just got lucky!" Although Mom and Dad said modestly, the smiles on their faces wouldn't leave them. After all, what could make parents happier than hearing that their son has succeeded?

Just then, my uncle suddenly frowned and turned to look at my little cousin.

"Wait, where did you find this information? Did you sneak off to an internet cafe?"

"No!" My cousin shrank back and shook her head guiltily.

After all, in the early 2000s, parents avoided internet cafes like the plague.

Of course, internet cafes were also quite chaotic at this time, and fights often broke out.

……

Jiang Hong stood in the center of the court, listening to the audience cheering for him.

There was only one thought in my mind.

That's winning!

Keep winning, champion, the next champion!
In a sense, this was Jiang Hong's first professional championship.

Jiang Hong has taken another big step forward in his professional tennis career!

Jiang Hong turned around and found that Donald was already standing quietly in front of the net, waiting.

However, her eyes were a little red, I don't know if it was because the wind was too strong or because she had been crying!

Jiang Hong stepped forward, extended his hand, and shook hands with the other person.

“You’re better than me, but I’ll definitely beat you next time!” Donald stared at Jiang Hong and said earnestly.

"See you next time!" As the victor, Jiang Hong naturally wouldn't be lacking in manners, and said with a smile.

Donald hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question that was on his mind.

"You've already played eight games, how come you're still moving so fast? How do you have such good stamina?"

"If you're bad at it, practice more!" Jiang Hong said earnestly.

Through English, Donald perceived it as meaning that his weaker areas needed more training to improve.

"Thank you!" Donald nodded heavily and said in a serious tone.

Afterwards, the awards ceremony was held as arranged by the organizing committee.

Both Jiang Hong and Donald have trophies. Jiang Hong's is fairly normal, while Donald's is a silver plate.

After the awards ceremony, Donald hurriedly left and went to his coach.

"Coach, I feel my skills aren't good enough yet, and I need more training!"

Smith paused for a moment when he heard Donald's words.

You should know that he usually trains against his will.

After all, he had just won Wimbledon and the NCAA championship.
His skill level is already unmatched among his peers.

He's already waiting to turn professional and challenge those established superstars.

But today he lost to Jiang Hong, who is the same age as him.

A reporter from CTV5 approached Jiang Hong with a microphone and a smile on his face.

"Jiang Hong, you achieved your pre-tournament goal and even set a new record for Chinese men's tennis. Do you have anything to say?"

The reporter handed the microphone to Jiang Hong, waiting for his answer.

"I hope more people will like tennis and love tennis!"

In China, for a sport to flourish, it needs government support.

Either a superstar emerges, igniting the popularity of a sport.

Basketball became incredibly popular after Yao Ming entered the NBA, and the number of people playing basketball increased dramatically.

After Li Na won the Grand Slam, the popularity of tennis in China also increased significantly.

Unfortunately, Li Na suddenly announced his retirement a few years later, and the hype gradually faded away.

Even so, this craze has led to a significant increase in the number of children learning tennis, and some of them have even become professional tennis players.
