Chapter 15 Dilemma
Rackets, for tennis players, are like a sword in the hands of a samurai, or a wand in the hands of a mage. They are weapons for their battles, and naturally they are extremely important.

Generally speaking, a mature tennis player will never easily change his racket, including its weight, length, size and shape of the racket surface, balance point, and even the anti-slip tape wrapped around the handle.

The reason is also obvious, because the rackets they use are already the rackets that are most suitable for their physical conditions and technical characteristics, and they are also the rackets that can best exert their strength.

What's more, after they selected their own rackets, they all practiced a lot, and then formed the corresponding body reflexes and muscle memory.

In this way, once there is a change in the racket, even if the change is very small, it is bound to greatly affect their performance.

Therefore, unless their bodies have changed, or their technical characteristics need to be changed, otherwise, how could they change the racket at will?
However, for a tennis player who is still in the growth stage, changing the racket, or changing a certain attribute of the racket, is a very normal thing.

Moreover, the faster a player's strength grows, the faster he will change the attributes of the racket, which is obvious.

Logically speaking, it is normal for this incident to happen to An Sheng, and there should be no accidents.

Xia Yutong also thought so, so she gave him a new racket without hesitation, but in fact, the situation did not go as smoothly as she thought, even beyond her previous experience.

According to her idea, An Sheng should be able to adapt quickly after getting the new racket. After all, he has only been in contact with tennis for a total of less than a week, and he will definitely not have the so-called "habit" problem. .

But she, who had tested An Sheng, thought that his tennis skills had already surpassed the level of a novice, especially his standard technical moves, which surprised her even more.

In this way, An Sheng should be able to quickly adapt to the new racket. Even if he cannot immediately restore his highest level, at least there will be no problems with normal batting and practice.

But in fact, after getting the new racket, An Sheng even had serious problems with the most basic return of the ball, just like a novice who was exposed to tennis for the first time.

What's more serious is that after An Sheng practiced continuously for two hours, his condition did not improve at all.

"An Sheng, let's take a break and continue later."

An Sheng's constant mistakes in returning the ball made their practice extremely boring. If it wasn't for Xia Yutong and replaced by someone else, I'm afraid they would have quit long ago.

But this situation also made Xia Yutong feel tired to a large extent.

It's all right, An Ran came to visit them at this time, Xia Yutong took the opportunity to ask for a rest.

And An Sheng nodded silently, his expression seemed calm, but in his heart, he was obviously not as relaxed as he appeared on the surface, and even, he was actually very angry.

He himself finds it very strange why he has such a huge problem after just changing a racket, and he can't even do the most basic return of the ball.

But he checked his attribute panel, but he didn't find any abnormalities. Compared with before, his attributes didn't change at all.

"Why is that?"

An Sheng stood there blankly, trying to think about the reason.

On the other side, An Ran, who had just arrived at the stadium, immediately felt the unusual atmosphere.

"Tongtong, what's the matter? Did you quarrel?"

"No."

Xia Yutong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then told her about the problems An Sheng encountered, and finally raised her doubts a little bluntly.

"An Ran, are you really sure that your brother has a very good tennis talent?"

"Of course! Didn't you admit it before?"

An Ran immediately jumped up and asked back. She was a little upset that she questioned An Sheng like this. If it wasn't because she knew Xia Yutong well and knew that she had no bad intentions, she might have lost her temper.

"Yes, An Ran, don't get excited."

"When I saw his technical moves before, I was really amazed, but if he is really very talented in tennis, why did he just change a racket for him, but he seemed to give all the skills he had learned before? forgotten?"

"What's more, even if he is a complete novice, we have already practiced for two hours after getting the new racket, so why should he learn the most basic forehand?"

"But now, he hasn't even learned it yet, so, how can this not be considered a talent?"

"And I said this not to slander him, nor to stimulate you, but because, I think, your expectations of An Sheng, including An Sheng's expectations of himself, are too high."

"Just now, I jokingly asked him if he wanted to become a professional tennis player, but his reaction was very serious, and he told me clearly that he wanted to become a professional player."

"But you should be clear that becoming a professional player is by no means an easy task. If you don't have enough talent, it will be even more difficult."

"In addition, the cost of training a professional tennis player is very high, so..."

Speaking of this, Xia Yutong shrugged his shoulders, and then continued: "So, I personally think that it might be better for An Sheng to lower his expectations and take tennis as one of his hobbies."

After listening, An Ran instinctively looked at An Sheng, a trace of hesitation appeared in her eyes, but it was only for a moment, she regained her firmness, and then laughed.

"No! Tongtong, he is my younger brother. As long as he works hard, I will always support him."

"But An Ran, you know, if he doesn't have talent, it's almost impossible to become a professional player. No matter how hard he works, he won't get good results."

"What does that matter? This is the path he chose. As a sister, I just need to support him. What's more, how do you know he can't succeed?"

"Ok."

Xia Yutong shook her head. She didn't understand her thoughts and didn't agree with her actions. Why didn't she persuade An Sheng when she knew that there would be no good results?
But at this moment, An Sheng, who stayed where he was, seemed to have figured out something suddenly, and laughed foolishly on the spot.
