Chapter 150 Shame
There was no suspense. In the second round of qualifiers, An Sheng won the victory very easily. Even, the two games only took 10 minutes.

And this game can reflect two points.

The first point, what Xiong Tengfei said at the beginning is correct. With An Sheng's strength, he has the strength to win the ITF youth competition.

The second point is that An Sheng lost his patience.

As soon as the game came up, he didn't try much, and started to attack directly. Under his strong strength, he completely controlled the game without giving his opponent any chance.

Obviously, although An Sheng won the game and successfully entered the main match, he was not very happy. He even felt that such a level of competition was a waste of his time.

What's more, he has no way to use the time between games to conduct effective training, and he only has one game a day, which makes him feel that he is wasting time.

In addition, in his current view, even if he finally won the championship of this station, it doesn't mean much to him, there is no prize money, and the points he gets are of little use.

From this, An Sheng's mood can be imagined.

Moreover, he was not familiar with the place where he was born, and he had nowhere to go, so he could only stay in the hotel room, unhappy.

As time went by, his depression became more and more serious, so much so that he even wanted to withdraw from the competition and return to Shanghai City.

"Are you going to retire?"

Wang Zhensheng was very surprised, including Zhang Zhizheng next to him, who was also surprised.

It was An Sheng who took advantage of the dinner time to speak out his thoughts. He actually knew it was wrong to do so, but he was really uncomfortable and couldn't vomit.

"Yes." An Sheng nodded frankly.

"why?"

Wang Zhensheng asked immediately, with a stern look on his face.

"Yeah, Brother An, didn't you enter the main match smoothly, why did you retire?"

Zhang Zhizheng came to his senses, but it was hard to understand what he thought of An Sheng.

"It's nothing, I just feel that this kind of competition is not suitable for me." An Sheng was in a bad mood, and his tone was not very good.

"Oh, do you think that your level has surpassed the youth competition, so you don't feel the need to continue to participate?" Wang Zhensheng guessed An Sheng's thoughts, and his tone was unavoidably sarcasm, and even a little angry.

And An Sheng heard his ridicule, and his heart suddenly became angry.

"It was!"

"Really? Then you think, you will definitely be able to win the championship?"

"Almost, anyway, judging from the current situation, that's it. But even if I might meet a really powerful opponent in the future, I still think it's not worth spending seven or eight days on it."

Hearing what An Sheng said, Wang Zhensheng shook his head, remained silent for a while, and then spoke again, and his expression at this time had become very serious.

"An Sheng, I understand what you mean. You think that participating in youth competitions is no longer helpful to you and can't let you get exercise. That's why you feel that this is a waste of your time and want to retire."

"But the question is, do you think you are ready to become a professional player?"

An Sheng really wanted to give a positive answer to this, but he unconsciously thought of what Xiong Tengfei had told him before, that even at Xiong Tengfei's level, he could only participate in the lowest level of professional competitions, and Even its qualifying rounds are difficult to pass.

It can be seen from this that with his current strength, it is difficult to gain a real foothold in the professional arena, and it may be too early to become a professional player.

Thinking of this, An Sheng frowned and shook his head reluctantly.

"Hehe, An Sheng, since you know that you can't really become a professional player now, besides participating in youth competitions, do you think there are other competitions that are more suitable for you? Or are you not planning to participate in competitions in the future? , just cover your head for training?"

Reluctantly, An Sheng shook his head again. He only trains and does not compete. Even a fool knows that this is wrong.

What's more, when Xiong Tengfei is out to compete, even if he stays in the team for training, the effect will not be good. This is also an important reason why he decided to come to this competition.

It has to be said that An Sheng's current situation is a bit embarrassing, and Wang Zhensheng also mentioned this immediately.

"An Sheng, I think the reason why your mood has fluctuated so much in the past two days is probably because you have already felt your embarrassing situation."

"Your strength is enough to allow you to win easily in youth competitions, and there are few opponents, but if you choose to enter the professional tennis world, there is obviously still a certain gap."

"Why is this happening? Will other young players have a similar situation to yours?"

"Here, I have to congratulate you, because as far as I know, this is not an ordinary tennis player who can go through a growth process."

"To put it simply, it's because your level has improved too fast, and your current strength has surpassed what you could have achieved at your age."

"In addition, the professional arena is very different from other types of events, including youth events, amateur events, and some large-scale sports events in our country, or in other words, there is a big gap."

"That's why you're stuck in such an awkward time frame."

Speaking of this, Wang Zhensheng paused for a while, allowing An Sheng, and Zhang Zhizheng next to him, some time to think.

But at this moment, An Sheng did have a feeling of sudden realization. He finally understood why he felt so uncomfortable in the recent period.

After that, Wang Zhensheng continued to talk.

"An Sheng, and Xiao Zhang, you may also encounter such a situation in the future, so how should you deal with it? How can you adjust your mentality?"

"I think that choosing to retire should be the stupidest choice among them. And other choices, such as not participating in youth competitions, just training dullly, or participating in adult professional competitions very reluctantly, these are not good. s Choice."

"Actually, as I said just now, at this stage, the most suitable event for you to participate in is the ITF Youth U18 event. You have no other choice."

"But Coach Wang, I feel that even if I participate in the competition, it will not help me at all!" An Sheng has changed his attitude, but he still feels very confused.

"No! An Sheng, the reason why you feel that participating in the competition is not helpful to you is because you have mistaken your goal. From the very beginning, you never thought about it at all. What do you want to do in the competition? What to get, so you will feel that it is useless, and you will feel confused."

"In fact, you can get a lot of exercise from it."

"For example, you have to learn to adapt to the schedule of regular matches every day, and you have to learn to adjust your state."

"When it's time to relax, you have to relax, but when it's time to get nervous, when you need to mobilize your full strength, you have to be able to use it, and even be able to perform at a super level!"

"It's another example of learning game experience."

"About this point, I know that you are quite attentive and took special notes, but do you think that if you understand the basic competition process, you can count as gaining competition experience?"

"If you really think so, that's too superficial! You haven't even figured out what competition experience is yet."

"What is the real game experience? It is through the game that you understand the opponent's style of play and characteristics, and find relevant countermeasures, and you need to verify it in the game."

"When you meet players with the same or similar characteristics next time, you will be able to make correct responses more quickly. This is the game experience."

"At the same time, through the competition, you can constantly understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and find out your weaknesses!"

"In many cases, the advantages you think you are right about may not be the same thing at all. Only through verification in official competitions can we draw a real conclusion."

"And after you know yourself well enough, you can strengthen your own strengths and make up for your own weaknesses in subsequent training, so that you can make progress!"

"This is the real competition experience!"

"Besides, An Sheng, I know very well that the reason why you never agreed to Meng Xiangkang is because you want to become an independent tennis player, right?"

"Since this is the case, then you have to learn and accumulate more things."

"In the future, you will go abroad to compete alone. You can't be alone all the time and don't communicate with other people, right? Especially for foreign players, how do you communicate with them?"

"Participating in ITF events is the best opportunity for you to practice your communication skills. Can you meet so many foreign players in other events?"

"Or, do you think that when you go to adult professional competitions, those high-level foreign players will pay attention to you, a rookie?"

"Also, don't you want to know how those foreign players train? What methods are they using? Is it the same as our domestic training methods, or is it more advanced?"

"Or, you are not interested in foreign culture at all? Then, when you go abroad to compete, you will be bored in the hotel all the time, not daring to go anywhere?"

"These things require you to find a way to communicate with them, to understand their country, their experience, and even their family and their living habits, so that you can gain something."

"And this, for you, isn't it all a very precious experience?"

"An Sheng, things are far from as simple as you imagined!"

At this point, Wang Zhensheng stopped and took a breath before continuing.

"An Sheng, I'm willing to tell you this just because I'm a coach. I can see that you have this talent, and I can't bear to let you waste it."

Hearing this sentence, An Sheng lowered his head, very ashamed.
