final winner

For things like special topics, there is usually no trouble without trouble.

Duan Chen sat in front of the computer and had a video chat with Lu Dongxu, "We must win the competition, otherwise I won't be able to pass the editor's level on the topic, and my work will be wasted."

Lu Dongxu: "Well, try my best."

Duan Chen: "You really don't have much information, send me a ready-made one later, do you have any?"

Lu Dongxu thought for a while, "The company should have it."

A question mark appeared on Duan Chen's head, which company?It took a while to realize: "IMG? Did they assign you an agent?"

Lu Dongxu nodded, searched in his computer, and quickly sent a document.

Duan Chen opened it, it was a contract from IMG, and Lu Dongxu just showed it to him carelessly.The three-year contract signed by the two parties a week ago is considered a short-term contract in such a giant company. Someone must have checked on Lu Dongxu's side, and it was not Duan Chen's turn to worry that he would suffer.

The manager is a Chinese named Zhou Pingkun.Duan Chen looked a little apprehensive. What Zhou Pingkun brought with him was Cao Jian, a basketball player who had just retired for a month.

Duan Chen: "..."

Lu Dongxu: "?"

Duan Chen sighed, "Give me Zhou Pingkun's contact information...I have to discuss with him how to write it."

Lu Dongxu searched again, sent the phone and email, and said, "How to write it is up to you."

Anyway, he believed in Duan Chen.

Duan Chen smiled, and really wanted to reach out and rub Lu Dongxu's head, but unfortunately he was on the other side of the ocean, so he couldn't touch it anyway.

"After the game, come back early."

Lu Dongxu froze for a moment, then pursed his lips: "Yes."

Duan Chen contacted Zhou Pingkun that night and talked about his situation.

Zhou Pingkun is in his 30s and has a good attitude. He has been on this trip for many years and has seen the world, but he is not particularly eager. Thinking about planning, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and I could cooperate with "Front Sports" so soon. Actually, I am also very familiar with your newspaper, after all, the sports circle is so big, but this is the best, lest I talk to my friends. It's the basketball thing."

Duan Chen knew that he was just being polite. With Zhou Pingkun's status in the arena, it didn't matter even if he used to be in basketball. The editor-in-chief must be familiar with him.

"We are also optimistic about Xiao Lu's potential. There is still relatively little information about Xiao Lu. This can be said to be the first time to officially introduce him to fans and friends. How to introduce him, I want to let you know first."

Zhou Pingkun said: "Thank you, thank you, I am very grateful. I have a record of Xiao Lu playing tennis for more than ten years. I will send it to you first, and then organize a personal information and send it to me."

Duan Chen felt relieved, the two of them said a few more polite words and hung up the phone.

Zhou Pingkun's information arrived very quickly, obviously it was done before.

Clicking on it, it looks a bit like the personal chronology and record of major events in the appendix at the end of a celebrity's autobiography.Duan Chen was very interested in this, so he read it carefully.

Lu Dongxu started learning tennis at the age of five, and had his own coach since he was eight, but he didn't start to participate in various competitions until he was 12, and then he was paired with a physical trainer and a physical therapist.

In other words, during the seven years from the age of five to the age of 12, Lu Shen was admiring himself alone, and did not participate in any children's tennis competitions.

12 years old, should be the first grade of junior high school.

This information is very detailed, which shows that Zhou Pingkun also put in a lot of effort.Lu Dongxu's performance in the competition was also there at the beginning, but it was a bit mediocre. He could only play two or three rounds at the beginning, and it was only a provincial competition.

No wonder the sports media doesn't like him.

However, Lu Dongxu's progress was very fast. Half a year later, he had already won the championship in a children's tennis competition in the province.

Then it was out of control, and the gold content of the National Youth Championship, the European Youth Tournament Championship, and the Asian Youth Championship became higher and higher.Not long after he entered the provincial team, he was soon selected for the national team.

Generally speaking, professional tennis players will participate in as many ITF low-level matches as possible when they are young, also known as hope matches, and there will be different groups according to age.

Lu Dongxu didn’t follow the usual path. He didn’t participate in many ITF games. Afterwards, Chen Ming analyzed it. Many ITF tournaments were organized sloppily. No one picked up the ball or handed the towel. The referee’s line review was sometimes unreliable. Yes, it is understandable not to participate.However, Lu Dongxu has a very good record. He has participated in 7 ITF competitions so far, including two championships and four semi-finals.

Now the ranking in the youth group is 19th, Duan Chen is not sure whether this ranking is high, and is going to ask Chen Ming the next day.

Early the next morning, because of the time difference, the Canadian finals had already come to an end.Duan Chen swiped his phone as soon as he opened his eyes. Lu Dongxu's text message had been sent three hours earlier, two words: I won, with a cute emoji O(∩_∩)O~.

Duan Chen was stunned, feeling that he had been stabbed strangely.

At this time, it seems that there is nothing to reply except "what?"

Duan Shen went to work absent-mindedly.

After reading the materials submitted by Duan Shen, Chen Ming said, "This event is 50K*, and the championship points seem to be [-]... I think he can try to play in the ATP competition. Although the results will be relatively poor at the beginning, but he is always sad. It's inevitable."

Duan Chen only heard the last two sentences, recovered his senses, and asked, "Is the difficulty of ATP competitions so high?"

ATP competitions are actually included in ITF competitions*, but they are all high-level competitions, and you must have accumulated a certain amount of points before you can participate.

Chen Ming crossed his legs, "Please, he's only under 17 years old. Since tennis entered the era of the Open, there are only ten ATP singles champions who can win the ATP singles championship before the age of 16. Let's talk about the current Snedda, dick Right? He was 20 years old when he won his first ATP Tour title, and he had a bad start."

Duan Shen suddenly realized: "They all came up step by step from the bottom."

Every world No. 5 has a time when it is world [-].

Chen Ming: "The fairness of competitive sports is here."

The two of them looked for Lu Dongxu's game video. Anyway, the work is very easy, and there is nothing better than admiring handsome men.

As soon as the video started, Chen Ming said in surprise, "Hey! It turned out to be Little Lamb! Hehe, the Australian genius lost to a younger genius than himself."

Duan Chen was very confused, although he was always like this when he first came into contact with a competitive event.There are so many people to remember, divided into men and women, by age, by country... the top [-] men and women in the world must be remembered; the important stars of some countries must be remembered; future stars must be remembered; historical celebrities must be remembered remember.

After all, if you want to be a professional, it’s not enough to match people with their names. You have to remember their technical characteristics and major events.After you memorize it, you can master it again.

It's not difficult, basically every real fan can do it, but it takes time and dedication.

Of course Chen Ming has already reached this level.

Duan Chen felt that he still had too much to learn.

Chen Ming said: "The so-called super genius who swept Australia at the age of 17 came here to cheat the prize money when he was frustrated at the Australian Open."

Duan Chen: "Do you think he is unhappy?"

Chen Ming nodded: "It's too arrogant. There is no one in Australia now, so I can only count on him. He is a favorite of sponsors recently, but it's a bit surprising that he lowered his value so much."

Duan Chen watched the video, Lamb looks pretty good, neither fat nor thin, it can be seen that his physical condition is very good.He plays with vigor and impetuosity. Compared with Lu Dongxu, he is obviously a little eager to attack.

"At this time, you should stick to the bottom line. If Xiao Lu fights with him more often, he will make a mistake. He has a good forehand but not a backhand," Duan Chen said.

Chen Ming obviously despised Lamb, "Yeah, you're so anxious to surf the Internet, you didn't bring your brains when you came out to play."

Duan Chen: "..."

Lu Dongxu's game was obviously not as easy as the previous one, but he still played steadily and won two 6-4.Duan Chen also discovered, "When a player is impatient, he tends to defend instead, and he controls mistakes very well."

"Yes, I have a high tennis IQ." Chen Ming looked at Duan Chen, and pointed to the ball bag lying under his desk, "Let's play a game after get off work if we have time!"

Duan Chen smiled, "No problem!"

Still have to go to work.

Lu Dongxu quickly received the materials prepared by Zhou Pingkun.I don't know if it was written by a professional, Duan Shen scanned it, it was the introduction tone of the special report, since the section is not big, just need to ask Lu Dongxu some questions about his growth experience and future expectations, the manuscript is more than enough.

Duan Chen planned to send a text message to get the access. Data backup only needs to use a mobile phone screenshot, but he soon found that his thinking was too simple.

Duan Chen: Who do you think should be most grateful after playing for so many years?

Lu Dongxu: Coach.

Duan Chen: ... Is the coach very important to you and has a special relationship?

Lu Dongxu: Yes.

Duan Chen: What do you expect from your team?

Lu Dongxu: Very good.

Duan Chen: What is your next career goal?Can you [specifically] talk about it.

Lu Dongxu: Do better.

Duan Chen felt that this interview could not go on happily.

Chen Ming came over to look at it and was amazed: "What a communication disorder patient with a unique style of painting."

The author has something to say:

*ITF competition: International Tennis Federation competition.In fact, most of the international tennis matches are hosted by them.For example, China hosts its own tennis tournaments, and the Chinese Tennis Association joins the ITF, and hosts the tournaments under the guidance of the ITF. ATP (the Men's Professional Tennis Association mentioned earlier) and WTA (Women's Professional Tennis Association) are actually under their control, but because they are "professional", the level is relatively high and the level is relatively high.If you score high points in low-level ITF competitions, you can play professional games, which means turning professional in the true sense. (Changing careers is a relatively vague concept, and I can't guarantee that what I said is completely correct).

*50K: K is thousand, which means that the prize money of the game is 50,000 US dollars, the more money, the higher the level. 50K is considered high in ITF low-level competitions, but of course it is only a fraction in professional high-level competitions.
