MTL - Match Point-Chapter 29 Iron Master

In 2011, Li Na reached the top of the French Open and became the first female player in Asia to win the Grand Slam singles championship, making history.

At that time, some people discussed in depth whether it is possible for Asian men's tennis players to win the Grand Slam championship?

The answer is that it is not impossible, but as the times advance, it becomes more and more difficult.

The core reason lies in the inherent difference between absolute power and instant explosive power. Especially after entering the millennium, the technological development of rackets and ball strings has become more and more advanced, and it has become easier and easier to convert power into court advantages through rackets—in fact, it is the same as The same goes for shark trunks.

In other words, the advancement of the racket allows players to more and more freely attach all their power to the tennis ball, which also allows the energy of physical talent to be further exerted. Then, Asian players with inherent differences will naturally face more and more severe challenges.

In fact, as early as 1989, Chinese-American player Zhang Depei won the singles championship trophy at the French Open with a gesture of making history—

Not only is he the first Asian player ever to win a Grand Slam singles title, but he is also the youngest ever to win the French Open at the age of seventeen.

Later, in 1995 and 1996, Zhang Depei once came to the highest ranking in his career: second in the world; and broke into the finals of the Australian Open, French Open and US Open, although all three finals were runner-up. But it still proved its strength.

That is, miracles were written long, long ago.

However, back then, powerful players were limited by racket and string technology. The greater the hitting power, the greater the deviation. Therefore, Zhang Depei relied on his skills and tenacity to reach the top of the French Open. He is still the only Asian player so far. Consistent men's singles champion, and Li Na inherited the mantle.

Now, times are different, and power, is on the rise.

So, is it really that simple?

Obviously not, behind the innate differences, there are problems with the entire sports program that cannot be ignored.

For a long time, tennis was a sport exclusive to Europe and the United States, and its penetration rate in Asia was very, very low, and many people had never even heard of it.

Naturally, when there are children with outstanding physical talents in the school or the community, other sports often have already taken the lead. Just like Gao Wen, basketball and football coaches also liked his physical fitness. With the enthusiasm of Andre Agassi, I am afraid that Gao Wen is already a basketball player at this time.

It is precisely because of this that it became more difficult for professional players who later engaged in tennis to compete in terms of height or strength.

Just look at the current Asian brother Kei Nishikori.

178 cm and 68 kg. Although he started training at the age of five and was sponsored by Sony at the age of fifteen, he went to the top professional tennis school Bollettieri Tennis Academy for training. He has a solid technical foundation, but his physical talent is still very limited. Obvious, especially the limitation of height.

It is undeniable that there are certain inherent differences in strength and explosiveness, but with the development and progress of the times, the physical fitness of the new generation is indeed improving; moreover, tennis is originally a sport that combines strength and technology, and the mind also needs to be improved. play an important role.

Most importantly, scientific and systematic training is becoming more and more advanced, continuously tapping human potential.

In the future, everything is possible.

However, the first step is to train yourself on a down-to-earth basis.

30 minutes for core strength, 30 minutes for upper body strength, and 30 minutes for lower body strength.

Then-

15 minutes for core strength, 15 minutes for upper body strength, 15 minutes for lower body strength.

The training manual provided by the system is rich and varied, and the targeted training methods are dazzling. After more than two hours of training, I have not been able to try all the items in the training manual in turn. It seems that there is still a treasure in front of me. , waiting to be tapped slowly.

The boring strength training also adds a little bit of fun—even if it's just a little bit, it's positive for the daily training.

The clanging sound of rolling iron became the most beautiful symphony in the gym.

Macdonald stood up, seemed to be able to hear the creaking of bones, and involuntarily let out a low groan.

Sure enough, strength training is hard work.

But looking up, MacDonald found that Gao Wen was still training, and the training program was very special.

I saw Gawain kneeling on one knee in a lunge step. The knees of both legs were kept at a perfect 90 degrees. He was just standing on the ground with one support, and then his hands were relaxed in a natural falling posture. Hold a five-kilogram mini dumbbell.

At this moment, the left hand does not shake and remains relaxed; the right hand slowly and slowly turns the wrist, first 360 degrees to the left, then 360 degrees to the right—

Of course, there may be no way to achieve a perfect 360-degree turn, but I still try my best to complete the movement.

Because the speed is very slow, you can even clearly see the pulling of muscle lines and the emergence of blue blood vessels, which has a kind of artistic beauty.

Such a move does not seem to have much to do with strength training. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

But after a moment of careful observation, McDonald understood that this should be practicing the muscles of the wrist and forearm. The most important thing is to feel the changes of the muscles, especially every rotation of the wrist, the veins involved in the entire muscle and the muscles of the arm. Changes, grasp every detail.

Normally, it may be difficult to see the "improvement" of muscle strength, but in actual combat, the wrist's control over the racket and the perception of tennis will become more sensitive and delicate - the premise is that it takes years of persistence .

Sweat slowly trickled down Gao Wen's cheeks, the scorching heat wave passed by gently, and his skin became crimson, as if he could see the faint steam lingering, even the training of small muscles still Being able to feel the immersion of power must not be underestimated.

McDonald immediately realized that Gao Wen's upper body strength training should not be over yet.

Quietly, Macdonald stood by and waited.

It wasn't until Gawain completed a set of training for his left and right hands and raised his head that Macdonald let out a breath. Then he realized that he hadn't realized it just now, and he held his breath involuntarily. Such a thought made the corners of his mouth The smile rises.

"How is it, how does it feel?"

Gao Wen let out a long breath, "Slowly starting to feel the burning sensation, but there is still a long way to go." From the words, he could feel the ardent expectation and sufficient motivation, as if he was completely immersed in it, very I like it very much.

like?

Does Gao Wen like the masochism of strength training? This is simply too perverted!

Thinking of this, MacDonald couldn't help but shudder—nobody likes strength training, okay?
