May 5, local time in the United States, Houston, Space City.
In the Toyota Center, in the sound of disappointment among fans, the timer on the sidelines still showed the number of "0:00".
This is the seventh game of the first round of the NBA playoffs, Utah Jazz away to challenge the Houston Rockets. Although both "Yao Mai" superstars scored 29 points, they still couldn't stop Boozer's 35 points. The Houston Rockets lost to the Utah Jazz 99:103 at home, ending their playoffs this season.
Zhang Guan, who was watching the game, looked at the disappointed Dayao on the court. At this time, Dayao was still encouraging his teammates, as if telling them that they would come back next year, but Zhang Guan knew that Dayao missed the best in his career. One chance, from next year, he will be plagued by uninterrupted injuries until he finally retires.
"It's a pity!" Zhang Guan shook his head. Although he already knew the result, he still felt very sorry when the game was over.
After the Rockets lost the ball, Dayao's mood was naturally a bit frustrated, but since Zhang Guan came to Houston specifically, Dayao still had to do his best to be a friend of the landlord, so Zhang Guan and Sharapova were feasted at the Yao restaurant the next day.
"Taste this roast duck, the authentic Beijing roast duck." Dayao pointed to the roast duck on the table, and then said: "There was a Quanjude in Houston before, and it was closed, and I invited the roast duck master there."
"It's not easy to be able to eat Peking Duck in the United States!" Zhang Guan sighed and said, "Do you think the Rockets now lack a good offensive organizer."
"Offensive organizer? Alstom is not a star-rated point guard. But it's considered qualified. The Rockets' offense should be pretty good now. Tracy McGrady is averaging 24 points per game this season and I'm 25 points. The two of us added up quickly. It’s 50 points. The inside center has a strong outside line, but the Rockets have always been a tradition.
Dayao smiled. Then he said: "Coach Van Gundy is also a coach who emphasizes defense, and now sports experts can always say that the Rockets lack a good bench inside to share my pressure."
"Yes, you and McGrady's offenses are indeed unsolvable. When both of you are fully fired. NBA other teams are really unstoppable, but have you ever thought about it, if it were you Does one of them feel bad? Or is one of them injured? At that time, as long as the other person is restricted, your offense will not be smooth. You are both very good offensive terminators, but not professional. Offensive organizer." Zhang Guan continued: "In addition, I feel that the Rockets should introduce another all-star player. Or a giant star player!"
"Introduce another star? How is this possible! You don't know that the Rockets boss is the most stingy of all NBA! We are not the Lakers or the Knicks." Dayao said with a smile.
"I think the'Big Three' model is a trend in the next few years. Imagine if LeBron, Wade and Bosh are in the same team!" Zhang Guan said.
"How is this possible! The three of them should all be NBA superstars, and they are all in the same year. Three superstars in a team? Even if the three of them are willing, the NBA team's salary cap is also limited. Dayao continued: "But I don't have to worry about that anyway. I'm not the team owner anyway, and I don't mean anything."
"Buy a team in the future. If you are your own boss, don't forget, just like Jordan!" Zhang Guan laughed.
"Don't ridicule me, the NBA team is so expensive, I can't afford it! But save the money in the future, but the CBA team can buy it." Dayao remarked, then said: "Speaking of playing basketball Things, you suddenly switched from track and field. Why not play basketball?"
"Playing basketball? I really didn't think about it at the time." Zhang Guan said.
"You should switch to basketball!" Dayao looked at Zhang Guan while saying, "He is more than one meter nine in height, and his physical talent is stronger than black people. The key is that it is fast enough. Your explosion and your speed will soar. Get up, who can keep up with the ball breakthrough! If you really play basketball, I will definitely pull you into the national team. When the game is played with the Europeans, I will walk out of the three-second zone and bring out their center. You continue to make a breakthrough and immediately break away your opponent's defense."
"It's that simple to play basketball? Ha ha, I'm a little student. Don't lie to me." Zhang Guan ignored Da Yao's confusion.
Dayao smiled embarrassingly, and Zhang Guan continued: "Playing basketball is much more troublesome than playing tennis. At least I can't get into the nba. Do I have to play from the domestic lower leagues? Playing tennis is not It’s the same. A sponsor wild card took me to the Australian Open and won a Grand Slam title. It’s no problem to participate in all tennis competitions in the future."
"It's the same thing. Playing basketball really takes too much time." Dayao nodded, then said: "I saw a tennis masters game in Miami two days ago, you didn't seem to participate!"
"I haven't gone. I have been doing special training during this time." Zhang Guan said vaguely: "You will know the news of Netcom in a few days!"
"Okay, I wish you the French Open in advance!" Dayao raised his glass while smiling.
...
A few days later, Zhang Guan left the United States and flew to Europe to prepare for the French Open.
The biggest feature of the French Open is the clay court. In tennis, the clay court is second only to hard courts, especially in continental Europe, where there are many clay courts, not just in France, but in many countries in Western Europe. field. And like the Tennis Masters Rome, Hamburg, Tennis Tour Portugal, Sweden, the Netherlands, Croatia, the gold tournament Germany, Austria, etc. are used clay courts, it is precisely because of this, Na Dar, a player who is good at playing clay, can score the second place in the world. As long as he can win a French Open and a few clay court championships every year, he can brush the ATP world ranking to more than 4,000 points.
Zhang Guan did not go directly to Paris, France, where the French Open was held, but went to Germany first. One is because Sharapova's old injuries require a series of medical treatments in Germany, and the other is because the training conditions in Germany are better than in France.
In Germany, Zhang Guan hired a clay court for training.
"Clay field!" Zhang Guan stomped hard with his feet, and then couldn't help bending down and touching the ground. Although the ground is paved with red clay, it is actually very strong.
"It's quite strong!" Zhang Guan said involuntarily.
"Nonsense, this is red clay, you think it's sand!" Coach Zhang smiled, and then said: "The red clay ground at that time was not so strong, but the new technology used now, the red clay ground is also better than before. It’s much stronger. Don’t underestimate this clay field, it’s more troublesome to lay than hard ground. At the bottom of the clay field is the drainage system, and then a layer of large gravel and then a layer of small gravel, Then rolling, the diameter of the surface gravel after rolling should not be more than 5 mm, then lay clay and sand, and finally lay red clay. Red clay is not natural red clay, it is red clay treated with anti-slip agent, and the diameter should not be larger than 0.3 mm. Such a thin red clay, even if an athlete falls, it will not be injured by the skin."
"It sounds more trouble than laying a plastic field, and also added anti-slip agent, so you don't have to worry about being slipped." Zhang Guan messenger slipped his footsteps.
"Although some anti-slip agents are added, it does not necessarily mean that you can't move. I always feel that if you use sliding on the clay court, the effect is very good." Coach Zhang then said: "Come to the venue and teach you Some special sliding techniques on clay courts."
"Special skating skills?" Zhang Guan's eyes lit up. He suddenly remembered that Coach Zhang won the French Open championship at the age of 17. Red clay is also the venue where Coach Zhang is best at. He must have many unique skills on the clay court. (To be continued.)
