Tennis: He's so obedient!

Chapter 26: Recommending Jiang Hongjin to the Provincial Team! (Please continue reading!)

"I'm exhausted! I never imagined the president would be so heavy!"

Li Hua pounded his arm with his fist and muttered something.

Jiang Hong glanced at Li Hua and teased, "Hua Zi, if you spent two hours running every day, you wouldn't be this weak!"

Li Hua was indignant when he heard this.

"Slander, blatant slander, I'm not afraid of it!"

Finally back at the dormitory entrance!

He reached out and pushed the door open, and a loud bang came from inside the room.

"boom!"

Jiang Hong looked at the sequins on his ceremonial hat and his lips twitched.

The next second, I saw two other guys from the dorm come over.

"Old Jiang, how about it? Surprised?"

"I heard you won the championship! Let me touch your trophy!"

Jiang Hong looked at the two guys in surprise. They weren't from the tennis club, so how did they know he had won the championship?

Then he turned his head and glanced at the little fat black guy behind him!

Li Hua gave an awkward smile and explained.

"You've brought honor to our 403 class, so of course we have to celebrate!"

It really is that loudspeaker!

"The trophy isn't with me!" Jiang Hong quickly explained, seeing the two men rubbing their hands together in anticipation.

"Hmm?" Both of them looked puzzled.

Jiang Hong then explained to the two that since the champion's name needs to be engraved, the final champion's identity is unknown.

So after the competition, the trophy needs to be taken to an advertising company to have your name engraved.

"Oh? Is that so? That's boring!"

"I thought I'd get to see the trophy!"

The two of them instantly showed expressions of disappointment; they had originally wanted to see what the championship trophy looked like!
"By the way, Lao Jiang, the competition is over. Can we get back to group activities? It's been so long since we played together!"

"Yeah, to celebrate your victory today, let's stay up all night instead of just staying up all night!"

Faced with the two invitations, Jiang Hong immediately smiled and declined.

"Let's forget about it. I've played five games in the past two days, and I'm exhausted. I need to rest!"

Hearing this, he didn't extend the invitation further!
"Hua Zi, get on the line!"

"coming!"

When Jiang Hong had just graduated in his previous life, he would go to an internet cafe after get off work to surf the internet.

However, as work pressure increases, the number of games in the library grows, but the time spent playing them decreases.

Jiang Hong sighed for a moment, then climbed into bed.

After the match ended, the system notified me that the task was completed.

However, Jiang Hong did not have time to collect it at the time.

"panel"

"Receive award!"

Jiang Hong called out in his mind, and instantly the system's voice rang in his ears.

[Ding, the host has completed the suggestion. Based on the difficulty of the competition, it has been rated two stars. The host has received the following rewards: 8 foreign language packs and immunity to athlete performance-enhancing drugs (immunity only for sports performance enhancement; it does not provide immunity during treatment)]

Jiang Hong's eyes lit up instantly when he saw the system's reward.

Although it didn't directly improve Jiang Hong's tennis skills, it still played a very significant role.

As we all know, tennis is a global sport.

Athletes basically travel all over the world, and in professional competitions, winners are required to give interviews!

Given Jiang Hong's current English proficiency, he probably wouldn't even understand what the reporter was asking.

Jiang Hong took a look at it and found that the foreign language package included English, German, French, Japanese, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish!
This gift package will enable Jiang Hong to reach a level of fluent communication and writing.

The second reward is even more important.

This allows for the detection and evaluation of the effects of Jiang Hong's immune stimulant!
It's important to know that top athletes undergo extremely rigorous drug testing.

Especially Chinese athletes like Jiang Hong.

For example, Usain Bolt, the 100-meter sprinter, once underwent more than 200 drug tests in a single year.

Basically, you need to be tested every two days.

You could be arrested and searched even while you're sleeping.

Ultimately, Bolt's retirement was partly due to the intense drug testing.

Before Jiang Hong's time travel, both the male and female Grand Slam tennis champions were embroiled in doping scandals.

Whether the contamination was unintentional or intentional remains unknown.

However, this can be quite damaging to an athlete's reputation. Furthermore, athletes are practically forbidden from eating out.

Because they cannot be sure that the meat they eat does not contain stimulants.

Most importantly, many stimulants are actually normal medical drugs!
The system even thoughtfully provided a patch!
Jiang Hong nodded in satisfaction, "Looks like we won't have to eat bland soup anymore!"

……

"Hey, what's so great about a runner-up trophy!"

Looking at Wang Cheng's appearance, Lin Yu couldn't help but complain.

Wang Cheng turned his head and glanced at it, "It's better than someone not even making it to the top four!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu blushed instantly.

After all, it was an amateur competition, and he hadn't even made it to the top four.

"I didn't make it to the top four just because I ran into Jiang Hong earlier than expected. If it were you, you wouldn't have made it either!"

Wang Cheng chuckled when he saw Lin Yu's vulnerable expression.

"Alright, hurry back to the team, or the coach will lose his temper!"

Lin Yu muttered to himself, "He'll be furious if he finds out about our grades."

The two quickly returned to their team.

"How many times have I told you? Be more natural when you hit the ball. Are you breaking your arm if you're so stiff?" Coach Li immediately started to criticize the new player's posture.

Wang Cheng and Lin Yu exchanged a glance.

It is a blessing, not a curse, but a curse that cannot be avoided!
Fight!

The two men walked up to the coach with their heads down.

"Coach, we're back!"

Coach Li glanced at the two of them and said, "You're back now, so go train. Do you really need me to praise you for playing in an amateur tournament?"

He was also aware of the two-person competition.

Finally, Lin Yu forced himself to say, "Coach, we lost!"

"Hmm!" The coach nodded subconsciously, then suddenly widened his eyes and turned to look at the two of them. "What? You lost?"

Wang Cheng nodded. "That's right!"

Coach Li instantly exploded and went into a rage mode.

"I always tell you to practice hard, but you're always thinking about slacking off. Now you've actually been defeated by an amateur. How can you be so shameless!"

Spit flew everywhere, but neither of them dared to say a word.

After spraying for a while, it seemed to get tired.

"It seems you've been too lax. Starting tomorrow, we need to increase the training volume."

"Let's run five kilometers first to recover our energy!"

Normally there's no training plan after a competition, but this time the results were so bad that we had them start training right away.

Lin Yu had no choice but to obediently go for a run.

However, Wang Cheng did not leave. After hesitating for a moment, his gaze became firm again.

"Coach, I have something to tell you?"

"What is it?" The coach's voice was somewhat cold.
"I'd like to recommend someone to you?"

"The one who defeated you and Lin Yu?" Coach Li had already guessed who Wang Cheng was going to recommend.

“That’s right!” Wang Cheng nodded and said, “That’s right, Jiang Hong is really powerful. Neither Lin Yu nor I are his match!”

"How old is he?" Coach Li did not give a direct answer.

"Seventeen, almost eighteen, extremely talented!"

"No, I'm too old!" Coach Li immediately shook his head and refused.

"Besides, have you ever seen anyone with real talent? If they were that talented, they would have gone pro long ago. It's just that you guys are too weak!" Coach Li sneered.

"Coach..." Wang Cheng still hoped to try to help Jiang Hong, but he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Alright, get back to training. Are you the coach or am I?"

Seeing Coach Li's face darken, he didn't dare say anything more and could only go run laps.

After all, in the provincial team, the coach can decide their fate.

Coach Li has his reasons for not taking Jiang Hong on the team; the fact that she hasn't been poached despite her age suggests that her potential is limited.

Tennis teams are a niche sport with limited resources.

However, their attributes also dictate that they are very expensive to acquire.

If Jiang Hong joins, he will inevitably take away resources from the other team members.

There's little chance for them in either the Olympics or the National Games, so why let an outsider take away their disciple's opportunity?
If we don't appoint people based on favoritism, does that mean we should appoint people based on distance?

Moreover, it's still unknown how good the opponent is; they might have just gotten lucky and stolen two games.

Why would I do something that does nothing but harm?
