Chapter 38 Closing and Opening
"The training and accommodation costs are about $3,000 a week? This is just the cost of training and accommodation? Are you not kidding?" Fan Ju was stunned when he heard this number. He had already made a lot of preparations for the money, but $3,000 a week? This is too exaggerated, right? Americans can't afford to go there, right?
Coach Li knew it was this result, shook his head and continued, "Of course not all of them are so expensive. The players you see are signing contestants in the school, and their expenses are only 50,000-60,000 US dollars a year.
But the price of external training like you is definitely very high, and according to their quotation list, the cost per period is not exactly the same. The price of popular periods will be higher. Usually only high-ranking players can do long-term training. Many low-ranking players can only conduct short-term training courses for 1-3 weeks. After all, it is the best tennis school in the United States and even the world. All training must be scheduled in advance."
The cost of one to three weeks is no problem, and even it is taken out immediately, but he doubts how much he can learn or improve in three weeks? He has realized that his tennis training time is too short, and after losing the time of rich thinking at the double speed, his body has not yet developed those very important instinctive habits on the field.
From a scientific perspective, it takes a certain amount of time to develop a habit, and how long does it take to develop a habit of all tennis matches? Fan Ju didn't know, but a few weeks were definitely not enough. He knew that if he lacked some training process, he would not go too far in the professional tennis world even if he recovered his supernatural powers.
Fan Ju did not make a decision immediately. After leaving Coach Li's office, he habitually came to the side of the court and found a seat and sat down.
He habitually entered the thinking mode, and subconsciously looked at the two girls who were doing the fight exercises with unconscious eyes, with his upper and lower lips pursed together. To outsiders, he looked like a lost lamb who was losing direction in the desert and struggling.
However, such a move was captured by two girls who had long noticed Fan Ju. Aisha, who loves fantasy, certainly began to incite her foreign love theory. Of course, Fan Ju's expression made her better prove her point of view. Isn't that godless look a sign of confusion for love?
Even Maria almost agreed with her partner Elsa. If she hadn't had any ideas about herself, why would she appear by her side again and again and still stare at her?
Fan Ju is called unjust. He has seen it once, and has only watched it once. Where did you come out again and again?
Whether it is a woman or a girl, once you think you are right, it is difficult to correct this concept by yourself. Even if there is an unreasonable situation, they will think it is normal. Beating you is loving you, scolding you is also loving you. Even if you ignore you and abandon you, you love you, and you do this in order to gain your love.
Of course, Maria does not "love" Fan Ju now. He just treats Fan Ju as someone who "loves" himself, so in his opinion Fan Ju's actions are all for her attention, even...
The domestic U18 competition is actually not challenging for Fan Ju. If there were no player from the United States, Fan Ju felt that he could definitely sweep all his opponents easily.
Even in professional level, Fan Ju can only be considered the lowest level at most. However, compared with some little guys who are barely amateur level, Fan Ju still has an absolute advantage in technology and physical fitness. Not to mention the suppression of forehand and backhand, these little guys in China even take risks even with his most ordinary speed ball serve.
Without superpowers, Fan Ju's serving moves could only be blocked. However, the serving techniques that were not used in the past became the most used moves. Even so, no one could block Fan Ju's progress on the court. The advantages of professional players have kept Fan Ju in this state and reached the finals.
However, in the final, Fan Ju finally met an opponent, and this opponent was the American boy who was assigned to another half of the game.
If you compare physical fitness alone, Fan Ju is undoubtedly much higher than this American boy, but when the two fight, Fan Ju helplessly found that he was simply weak based on his skills!
The rapid movement of returning to position on the field made Fan Ju go from oppressive strikes to counterattack practice again and again. Accurate prediction and decisive surfing the Internet forced Fan Ju to run around again and again to find his advantage.
What made Fan Ju the most headache was that the little guy's desire to attack was terrible. Some attack balls that could be played or not would be inadvertently fatal killing moves again and again. The desire to take the initiative to attack was almost the strongest of the opponents Fan Ju encountered.
Fan Ju will also attack with his own temperament on the court. Often on the court, Coach Li thinks that Fan Ju's actions are too risky and will definitely suffer losses when encountering players of the same level. However, his opponent is constantly encouraged by the coach on the sidelines, and even goes out of bounds because of risky attacks many times, which only makes him control more accurately, so that he will not stop such risky attacks.
Fan Ju still won without superpowers, but Fan Ju won not because of his high skills and good health, but because his opponents from the United States were somewhat unacceptable to the local conditions. In the second half of the game a few days ago, he also showed several subsequent performances. When fighting against an opponent of "high-level" such as Fan Ju, such performance caused Fan Ju to win the game due to excessive mistakes in the third set.
"Now I believe it. You kid must be lucky in Mombasa. All the powerful opponents were assigned to another half of the area." After watching Fan Ju's game, Coach Li finally believed that Fan Ju did not "hide" himself. Instead, he felt that Fan Ju was not as strong as before on the court.
"Have you really made a decision? I have contacted Mr. Fest. He said that as long as you are willing, you can arrange your embassy visa. You can start training in Florida within a maximum of two weeks." Coach Li finally confirmed to Fan Ju that the plan given to him by Fan Ju was amazing, and even to train Fan Ju, he had prepared to apply for a decision to retain his academic status.
3000*26. Even if Fan Ju does not have additional consumption, his six-year training plan will cost $78,000. If you add the air ticket, it will be a full $80,000. At the current exchange rate, Fan Ju has invested one-third of his property in it. For this reason, he has made a mortgage to the bank for all the real estate under his name in exchange for a three-year loan of RMB 800,000 per year with an interest rate of 6% to pay high training and accommodation fees.
In fact, Fan Ju was actually a little worried at the beginning that his family and coaches would worry about spending too much money, but they only received support and encouragement. Even the matter of taking a break from school was not opposed. While Fan Ju felt relieved, he became more determined to go to the United States.
The pace of the week's game is very compact, especially the win-winning game of two sets, which makes many domestic players who usually play in one set a little uncomfortable, especially in the late stage of the game, domestic players are obviously tired, but it is not obvious in those American players.
It can be said that Nickelodeon School has made the most of the players in this game. Except for Fan Ju's U18 men's competition, they did not encounter any obstacles in other competitions and won the championship very smoothly.
Especially Maria's group, almost all swept out from beginning to end, and even in the final, no opponent could win a serve from her. This allowed the young people participating in the competition to see the huge gap in strength between themselves and their professions. I wonder how many tennis teenage girls will be discouraged, and how many people can ignite their fighting spirit and continue to work hard.
The award ceremony for the men's and women's championships in the U18 competition was held together. It was also the first time that Fan Ju had the opportunity to stand by the female player he had observed for a whole week. It was also because of his observation of this female player named Maria that Fan Ju's determination to spend a huge amount of money to go to the world's best tennis school. He realized that if he wanted to be the strongest, he would have to go this trip to the United States!
Maria also quietly looked at Fan Ju, who looked calm after winning the championship, especially when she found that unless the game overlapped, she would appear on the sidelines almost every game. This was the first time she stood so close to this Oriental boy who had a crush on her.
"Goodbye to the Oriental Boy, I'm going back to school. I think this is the last time we meet." Maria suddenly whispered to Fan Ju beside her in English. Maybe she wanted to leave some souvenirs, or maybe she thought Fan Ju didn't understand what she was saying, so she was so bold.
"No, I think we will meet soon. Goodbye to the tall girl." Fan Ju was surprised that the person next to him would say these words to him. Could it be that it was out of politeness? Of course, Fan Ju also responded politely.
Fan Ju didn't know that his answer confirmed the girl's conjecture, and of course, it also brought many misunderstandings and "love rivals" to them when they met again.
