The chief player of the film and television world

Chapter 479
The capital is hot and dry in July. After a shower, the air is full of rare coolness.

A taxi stopped outside the training base of the National Tennis Center. Ma Dongmei got out of the car and immediately saw Coach Chen Yan waiting for her at the door.

"Coach Chen, I'm sorry, but I trouble you to pick me up in person."

"It's okay, anyway, I'm idle in the office, so I'm just waiting for you to come." Chen Yan said with a smile, "How is your status adjusted recently? Do you have the confidence to pass the assessment later?"

Ma Dongmei put the tennis racket in her hand on her shoulder and smiled: "I feel that I have adjusted well. As for whether I have the confidence to pass the assessment, I can only say that I will do my best."

"I think as long as you perform normally, you won't have a problem getting a spot. I have seen the practice matches of players recommended by various provincial teams to participate in the assessment. Their strength is similar to yours, but they lack a kind of courage to move forward. "Chen Yan shared her news with Ma Dongmei.

"Really? I didn't even think I still had this vigor!" Ma Dongmei was a little surprised.

Chen Yan said: "Yes, I watched you two rounds at Wimbledon. Whenever you were pushed into a desperate situation by your opponent, in addition to your tenacity, you also had a courageous and fearless spirit." Faith, you dare to use the pressure of losing points to compete for a chance to attack a lot of one-half goals, which I admire!"

"Maybe I want to win too much."

"It's human nature to want to win, but ordinary people often want to win and are afraid of losing, and will hesitate when faced with a 50.00% chance, but you are very decisive and have a strong psychological quality!" Chen Yan turned to look at Ma Dongmei, "Actually I have always been curious, you said that you went to the United States for further study after graduating from high school, what kind of reasons or beliefs made you make such a decision, and you have persisted and achieved good grades."

the reason?Ma Dongmei was silent for a while, and then said: "There is no particular reason, I just want to prove myself, as long as I choose the right direction, I can succeed."

"If you want to prove yourself, you have to work harder."

"I will work hard."

While talking, the two passed the office building of the training base and came to the training ground behind.

At this time, in the training field, there are already many players training in groups under the guidance of their respective coaches.

Ma Dongmei looked at the scene in front of her. Unlike the one-on-one coaching model of foreign IMG colleges, domestic athletes are basically one-to-many. One coach leads multiple players, and coaches often have to take care of many aspects.Unlike IMG Academy, the three professional coaches of technology, tactics and physical fitness are all separated.

Chen Yan walked over to communicate with the tennis center leader who was in charge of the assessment, and then waved to Ma Dongmei.

"Xiao Chen, do you think it's her?" The leader in charge of the assessment took a look at Ma Dongmei, "Are you sure you want to recommend a player who has not undergone professional training? You must know that your vote is very precious, so don't waste it on insignificant votes. in terms of human affection."

Chen Yan explained: "Leader, I recommend Xiao Ma not because of favors, but because I really think she has the strength to contribute to the country. She is the only female player who can reach the second round of Grand Slam tournaments in these years. .”

"Really? But I checked her WTA ranking, and there is no her name in the top [-]. Besides, there are not no players in the provincial team who participated in the World Series. Whoever also participated in the tour!"

"Leadership, Grand Slam and Tour are not the same..."

"What's the difference? Aren't they all World Championships? Everyone's WTA ranking is below [-]. I don't think so about how strong she is." The leader in charge of the assessment said lightly.

Chen Yan turned her head and glanced at Ma Dongmei, with a wry smile on her face, but she still insisted: "Whether the pony is strong or not, let the assessment competition explain. I will definitely recommend pony to participate in the assessment."

The leader in charge of the assessment looked at Chen Yan for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, you can take her to the waiting area. However, Xiao Chen, I want to remind you that if you don't have an eye for people, you won't be able to become a member of the national team." Coach's."

"Thank you for the reminder, leader." Chen Yan nodded with a smile.

After speaking, she took Ma Dongmei to the waiting area.

There was no one in the waiting area, only a place full of various equipment backpacks, and the players who came to participate in the assessment were all practicing on the tennis court.

"Would you like to find a place to practice?" Chen Yan looked around, and several courts were full.

Ma Dongmei waved her hand and said with a smile: "No need, I trained in the morning, and I can take the assessment after warming up."

"Okay then, come on, show everyone your best level!" Chen Yan encouraged.

Ma Dongmei suddenly lowered her voice: "Show the leader just now, Coach Chen, do you have any conflicts with him, or are you saying that I offended him in some way?"

Chen Yan hurriedly stopped her: "Don't talk nonsense, it's nothing. The leadership just pays more attention to this assessment. This time, the National Open players are selected for the Olympics. The burden on the leadership's shoulders is heavy, and the pressure is too great."

"Oh, that's fine, as long as he doesn't have any objections to me." Ma Dongmei said, "Otherwise, if I really make it to the National Nets team, what should I do if he gets pissed off?"

Chen Yan reminded: "Xiao Ma, be cautious in your words and deeds. The National Nets team has rules. If you want to win glory for the country, you must remember not to talk nonsense in the future!"

"Understood." Ma Dongmei also knew that Chen Yan said this for her own benefit.

The two chatted for ten minutes in the waiting area, and the time came to 02:30 in the afternoon, and the assessment officially started.

There are 28 players recommended by the provincial teams plus Ma Dongmei as an extra.Four seed players are selected, and the remaining 24 players are divided into ABCD groups for a lottery knockout match, with two wins in three rounds and a short game in the final round.

Naturally, Ma Dongmei was not a seed player. She was assigned to Group C, and her first opponent was a player from the Guangdong Provincial Team.

In the first round of the knockout round, Ma Dongmei won two games 6:2, 6:1, winning easily!
In the second round of the knockout round, Ma Dongmei drew a lottery to get the seed player of Group C, the player of the Modu team.

Although the seed players of the Modu team were not weak, they were completely suppressed in terms of momentum, and the scene was very passive. In the end, Ma Dongmei was eliminated with a score of 3:6 and 5:7.

After eliminating the seed players in this group, Ma Dongmei also easily defeated the last player and successfully won No.1.

In the other three groups of ABD, the No.1 players are all seeded players.

Ma Dongmei is a bit unique among these people. Not only is she not a seed player, she is not even an athlete in the system.

"Little Ma, you played well!" Chen Yan stepped forward to congratulate her.

Several leaders in charge of the assessment looked at each other in blank dismay. This situation was completely beyond their expectations. Why did an individual contestant who was not a relative or a relative come out?
"Who recommended this Ma Dongmei?" A leader sitting in the middle asked.

The little bald leader I had contacted before said: "It was recommended by Xiao Chen, who said he was a high-level player who had participated in Grand Slams, but his name is not listed in the WTA rankings at all. And this Ma Dongmei has only been a regular player for two years. Training, unlike those of us provincial team players who have received high-level training since childhood."

"Well, it's rare for the folks to have a master. What do you think of the results of this assessment?" asked the big leader in the middle.

"I think it's acceptable. Long training doesn't mean you have a high level. Xiao Ma is talking about her grades right under our noses. I don't think it's a problem. She meets our selection criteria." A gray-haired old man said the leader.

"I didn't say that she didn't meet the standards. It's just that, I personally think that the outcome of an assessment competition can't explain everything. This Ma Dongmei is not as knowledgeable as other players in the provincial team, and she has solid basic skills. Who knows if she is today. What about extraordinary performance?" The little bald leader said.

"About the selection of the national tennis team, we notified the provincial teams half a year earlier. Which one of them did not take longer than Ma Dongmei to prepare? If it wasn't for Xiao Chen who just went to watch the Wimbledon match, they still couldn't find out. Talents."

The old leader's tone was a bit harsh, "Long-term training, preparation in advance, under such circumstances, you still can't win against the opponent who came out halfway. It's either because of your lack of strength or your attitude, so you still have the face to say that you are not in good shape." Well, in the Olympics, who cares if you are in good shape or not!"

The little bald leader nodded: "Everything you lose is an excuse, and I agree with what you always said. But our assessment this time is for the next Olympic Games, to win glory for the country, and we are choosing a player who has become a monk halfway Shouldn't you be more cautious? What do you think?"

The old leader turned to look at the little bald leader: "How cautious do you want to be?"

The little bald leader touched his head: "Well, I think..."

Before he finished speaking, Ma Dongmei suddenly interjected and said, "If the leaders feel that my strength is not good enough, I can prove it to myself. It doesn't matter how many times I fight, until everyone recognizes my strength, I will stay by my side until the end!"

The three No.1s next to her all turned their heads to look at her, with surprise and admiration on their faces and eyes!

Surprised, because she didn't expect her to say these words; admired, because she didn't expect her to dare to say these words!
The little bald leader was also a little surprised, but soon scolded with a straight face: "Do you know how to be polite? Why do you interrupt the leader's discussion! If you come to the field in the future, you will not be alone. The face, but the face of the country!"

The old leader said: "It's really wrong to interrupt, but I think her proposal is very good. The selection of players is to compete for medals and honors in the competition. After all, it is about relying on strength to speak!"

"Well, since the old leader has spoken, it's not easy for me to stop him. Do you have any opinions?" The little bald head turned to look at the others, and his eyes fell on the big leader in the middle.

The big leader smiled and said, "Well then, today's matter will be settled today. But for the sake of fairness, besides Ma Dongmei, the other three contestants also have to accept the challenge."

"That's unnecessary. I think the strength of these three players is well recognized by other players." The little bald leader said hastily.

The big leader glanced at him, and said kindly: "Whether everyone recognizes it is one thing, and whether we give you a chance is another. You can't be too partial, right?"

"You're right, I didn't think carefully." The little bald leader nodded repeatedly.

Soon, the assessment leadership team announced the decision, which immediately caused a burst of discussion among the players and coaches!
After the discussion, it's time to challenge.

Naturally, no one challenged the other three seeded contestants. I don't know if they approve or not. Anyway, they are all going for Ma Dongmei.

Good guy!Almost half of the eliminated contestants wanted to challenge Ma Dongmei!

The little bald leader was very happy to see this scene: "Look, I said that there are many people who are not convinced!"

The old leader shook his head: "There are so many people, when will this be compared?"

The big leader said: "Then let the challengers choose three representatives to compete with Ma Dongmei each, and win two out of three sets. If she wins, it proves that she has the strength to occupy a spot. If she loses, she will be selected again .”

"That's a good idea! I agree!" The little bald leader nodded repeatedly.

After the news was announced, three players were elected soon after discussions between the coaches and the players.

When Chen Yan saw these three players, she said to Ma Dongmei with a serious expression: "These three are the powerful fighters of the Liao team, the Sichuan team and the Beijing team. They have won medals in the National Games and the Asian Games. Their strength should not be underestimated!"

"I won't back down! No one can take the spot away from me!" Ma Dongmei said while putting on her wristband.

After the boxing game decided the order of playing, the three of them challenged Ma Dongmei officially began.

The first player to play was the fierce general of the Liao team, a player who is good at serving vigorously and hitting forehands.
Ma Dongmei held the tennis racket with both hands, leaned down slightly, and was ready to catch the ball at any time, staring at the opponent on the opposite side of the court without blinking, watching the opponent throw the tennis ball high, and then there was a "bang", Hitting the tennis ball with the swing, the huge force immediately turned the tennis ball into a green shadow!
The speed of the tennis ball is very fast, almost the second the person sees the racket hit the ball, it has already crossed the net and went straight to the ground in the opposite corner!

Ma Dongmei's face was full of concentration, and the spinning tennis ball was reflected in her pupils. In her opinion, this kind of speed of the ball was nothing more than that!
Compared with the opponents in Wimbledon, she was completely slower. Even in the IMG Academy, there are many powerful players with faster ball speed than this one. She was tempered step by step among the monsters!

Ma Dongmei suddenly took a step forward to the right, and swung the bat with both hands!

Bang!
The tennis ball that had just landed and bounced was sent back to the opposite half at a faster and trickier speed and route amidst the sound!
Although the players of the Liao team were ready to fight, the tennis ball with a strong spin bounced off the ground and avoided the racket she swung.

Snapped!The tennis ball hits the fence of the court behind him.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene!

A return shot, a perfect successful break!

The players of the Liao team turned their heads to look at the tennis ball that had fallen to the ground, a little unbelievable that their serve was actually broken!

It's not that there are players who can catch their own serve, but it's too...

Is this the strength of the players who entered the second round of the Grand Slam!
