Chapter 178 The explosive press conference

"Is your injury okay?" Chen Ran asked immediately when shaking hands with Kurten.

It was obvious that in the second set, Chen Ran found that Kurten's movement was affected to a certain extent, which made him play very easily in this set.

"The last round was too intense, and the old physical injury recurred." Kurten shrugged, not caring at all, as if playing with injuries has become normal for him.

He said very plainly: "In the past year, it has become normal for me to work on and off. It's not a big deal."

"In my opinion, if your body is injured, you must receive timely treatment in order to extend your career." Chen Ran's tone also seemed very sincere.

"Haha~~" Kurten smiled, then patted Chen Ran on the shoulder like a senior, "That's true, but many times when glory is placed in front of you, you can't choose."

"You are in good health, but you will also experience many tests and choices in the future."

Chen Ran murmured in his heart, so is this the reason why your competitive status declined so quickly after winning the third French Open championship?

In fact, many of the top tennis players of this era often experienced serious decline before they were 30 years old. It was the emergence of the Big Three that caused many people to misunderstand. Can they still be so strong at the age of 35?

Especially Djokovic, this guy is even more powerful after the age of 30 than before.

Chen Ran didn't argue with Kurten, but just nodded silently with a smile.

After this game, all the semi-finalists of the Miami Masters were produced.

First half: Agassi vs. Roddick.

Bottom half: Chen Ran vs. Kubek.

The Chinese media were even more excited. They even discovered that this was Chen Ran's first "6-0" achievement in the tour.

They are already looking forward to the finals and even the championship.

Chen Ran, who is in a hot state, is sweeping the "Sunshine Double Competition" with an amazing youthful storm.

Senior tennis fans in China even praised Chen Ran for being able to overcome the curse of "Tong Aunt" and forcefully reverse the unfavorable situation.

You must know that when Chen Ran was broken in the first service game, everyone was extremely worried, thinking that Chen Ran was not in good condition today, but it turned out that it was just him taking a nap.

Therefore, at the post-match press conference after advancing to the semi-finals, some reporters couldn't wait to ask a few questions that they had never dared to imagine before.

"Chen Ran, after you won the Indian Wells Masters, you quickly reached the semi-finals in the Miami Masters. A 'sunshine double crown' is no longer a theoretical possibility. Are you confident in winning the Miami Masters? "

"You must know that in men's professional tennis, only one person can win the 'Sunshine Double' championship in the same year."

"You should know this person, right?"

I didn’t know it in my previous life, but I did research it in this life.

"Of course I know, his name is Courier and he is a great player." Chen Ran said calmly, but his words stopped abruptly.

"You haven't answered the question just now." The American reporter who just asked the question was a little excited.

"Didn't I answer? The last 'Sunshine Double Crown' was Courier." Chen Ran deliberately talked about him.

The American reporter continued to ask questions tirelessly: "I want to ask, do you want to be the second player to win the 'Sunshine Double'? This is a huge honor, even more difficult than winning a Grand Slam."

American sports reporters like these kinds of questions about various records the most, and they also like to discuss some nutritious topics such as "Who is the goat?" They don't even satisfy a single sports event, but also like to compare across events.

"Let me think about it..." Chen Ran touched his forehead as if in pain, "I refuse to answer this question."

"why?"

"Because I am a person who believes in metaphysics. Once I express my inner goals, it won't work, so I can't tell you." The word "metaphysics" in Chen Ran's mouth was in Chinese.

"What is metaphysics?"

"I can't explain this in detail. I can only understand it but cannot express it in words." Chen Ran thought of something and smiled again, "Maybe you can ask our Chinese media colleagues."

He understands the mentality of these people very well. To use an idiom to describe it, it is "worrying about gains and losses."

These American reporters hope that Chen Ran will win the championship, but they are also afraid that Chen Ran will win the championship.

Chen Ran winning the championship has huge news value, which is good for reporters; but from another perspective, a player from a country with a backward tennis level can actually achieve the "sunshine double crown" achievement, which makes them There was something unbalanced in my heart, and it was hard to accept it for a while.

The reporters asked another question.

"So far, you have won all the matches on tour. When do you think your first defeat will come? Or, like in the Grand Slams, you will choose to retire if you can't beat the opponent."

"..." Chen Ran looked up at the foreign reporter who was obviously malicious and replied, "I think it's more appropriate to ask your God."

The problems come one after the other.

One by one, they were eager to try their best.

The limelight of those foreign reporters has overshadowed those Chinese reporters, who are even a little at a loss.

Chen Ran even felt a pressure rushing towards him, as if it was overwhelming.

A bit weird?
Could it be that……

Chen Ran looked up and could deeply feel that the entire press conference room was filled with a sense of madness in all directions. It was spreading like a volcanic eruption.

"Are they deliberately creating pressure on me?" Chen Ran suddenly realized.

After all, his current good fortune has been described as "God's favor", which indeed makes people crazy and jealous.

Semifinals?There should be no suspense.Kubeck, who is from Austria, has no ability to stop Chen Ran's rapid progress.

Chen Ran could even sit leisurely in the audience and watch Agassi and Roddick fight.

It seems that the arrogant Western reporters do not want to see Chen Ran monopolize the "double crown".

His appearance seems to have broken the European and American world's monopoly on tennis.

"Gentlemen, ladies, dear reporters..." Chen Ran spread his hands and said helplessly, "Today's game was too intense. My body is very tired and I need a good rest. This is the end of the press conference. That’s it.”

After that, he rubbed his eyebrows and murmured: "I want to take a bath and go to bed... I can't even open my eyes now."

Is the competition fierce today?Are you kidding me?
You have already achieved a fucking score of "6:0", how can this be called tiring?

You can doubt our professional abilities, but you cannot insult our IQ.

"I really have to go, I'm so sleepy."

Chen Ran left immediately after speaking, completely ignoring the reporters who were protesting.

Even if the ATP press officer reminded Chen Ran that the press conference was not over yet, Chen Ran could not be retained.

They wouldn't force Chen Ran to go back to the press conference, right?

As for the fines stipulated by the ATP?Do I feel sorry for those who are fined?

Isn’t it just 2000 US dollars?Punish it!

When Chen Ran strode out of the press conference hall, many foreign reporters looked at each other and then slowly recovered.

Is this a Chinese athlete who has always been polite and friendly?Even Asian athletes rarely do this!

Look at how polite athletes are in their childhood. They always bow to others and say "I'm sorry" or "I've caused trouble to you".

Leaving the press conference after a disagreement was something that used to be the preserve of Western athletes, and was even said to be full of personality.

But today, a Chinese player did the same thing and walked away. This was beyond their expectations.

This is called rude!Well, that’s how double standards they have anyway.

You said you were very sleepy and wanted to sleep, but when you walked you looked full of energy, and you didn't look like you wanted to sleep at all.

The way you walk is mocking us.

"Chen Ran, is this always the case in China?" an American reporter quietly asked a familiar Chinese reporter.

"No, this has never happened in China." The Chinese reporter replied honestly, "Maybe it's because I'm in a bad mood today."

Besides, there was one sentence he didn't say.

After Chen Ran won the Indian Wells Masters, he flew directly to Miami without returning to China.

Even if he wanted to act like a big star, he wouldn't have a chance.

Of course, their Chinese journalists would not be so aggressive. They could just treat him as a national treasure.

"We will report everything that happened at today's press conference truthfully."

Several foreign reporters looked at each other a few times, and then nodded affirmatively, as if to say: Adding fuel to the fire?I am very sure of that!
……

"Boring press conference!"

"A bunch of clown-like reporters."

When Chen Ran returned to the hotel, he made himself hot milk and complained while drinking it.

There is no point in being polite when dealing with those people.

The best thing is to convince them with your performance on the court.

There was a time when Djokovic, a Serbian, also tried to please the Western media and tried his best to maintain a friendly image.

As a result, he found that this was of no use at all. People still hate you and keep picking on you.

Later, Djokovic also figured it out, so I can just pretend to be a villain. I can be happy as I please, and there is no need to please you.

When I win one championship after another, you can only come and compliment me.

Djokovic once achieved four consecutive championships at Wimbledon, but in the 2023 Wimbledon poster, the C position is not him, but a post-00 player who has never won a Grand Slam.

The incompetent and furious guys can only use this little trick to disgust each other.

"So I'm going to win the semi-finals and I'm going to win the finals!"

"I will definitely achieve the achievement of 'Sunshine Double Crown'!"

"Then look at the helpless and lost look of those people."
