Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 346 Leaders have leaders’ views

Chen Ran's current attribute values ​​are 90 for physical attributes, 92 for technical attributes, and 90 for mental attributes. However, currently only the physical attributes have 2 potential points left to be tapped.

This time, after defeating Federer in the Australian Open final, he gained potential points to distribute.

According to the system prompts, the potential value that can be obtained by defeating the "mature" Fei Tianwang in a Grand Slam final is very considerable.

Even if Chen Ran's attribute values ​​have reached the high score of 90, he can still get a little distribution value.

If it were in the Masters, maybe even if you win two games, you may not be able to reach the potential value of one point.

Chen Ran originally wanted to directly allocate potential values ​​​​to technical attributes, but he thought of the thrilling five-set battle with Federer not long ago.

In that critical moment, what actually plays a decisive role is no longer your technical level, but your mental strength.

No matter how perfect the technical strength is, if the psychological quality is not up to par, it will inevitably fall short.

After pondering over and over again, Chen Ran decided to allocate the potential value to the mental attribute.

As a result, the system panel quickly changed, and his mental attribute limit reached 91 points.

In the future, the competition between giant-level players will not only be limited to the technical level, but also the spiritual and will level.

Chen Ran found that the stronger his will, the more stable he would be in the crucial tie-break and the final set.

Especially since he has rich Grand Slam experience and improved mental attributes, Chen Ran will be even more powerful at critical moments.

"In the just-concluded Australian Open final, I really felt the benefits of strong mental attributes!"

Chen Ran knew very well that even if his technical attributes were as high as 95+, if his mental attributes were slightly insufficient, it would be difficult to complete the comeback in the final set that day.

At this moment, he was sitting in the comfortable business class cabin, leaning back on his chair and resting with his eyes closed.

Even though three days had passed since that game, his body was still very tired and he didn't even have the slightest desire to compete.

If the current Chen Ran were to have another match, perhaps a top 100 player could defeat him easily.

This is mainly due to his entrustment.

Especially during the Australian Open final, his underground girlfriend Alijie also came to Melbourne to watch the game.

In the dead of night, Chen Ran quietly touched the house number given by the other party.

He originally thought that with his athlete's physical fitness and the fact that the opponent was just a delicate little pony, he should be able to handle it easily.

Who would have thought that just one month after they were separated, he would experience the romance and passion of a French girl.

Chen Ran overestimated himself and underestimated the other party.

Anyway, my waist hurts a little!

This made Chen Ran's already exhausted body even worse.

But he and his team couldn't tell the truth, so they could only blame "Fei Tianwang", saying "I was very tired from that final."

So during this journey from Melbourne to Yanjing, Chen Ran kept sleeping with his eyes closed.

Even though there were charming flight attendants walking by him from time to time, hoping to have some interaction with him, they were all ignored by the exhausted Chen Ran.

……

After the plane landed in Yanjing, Chen Ran quietly walked to the VIP aisle with his team members, then quietly got into a special car and left.

He and his agency had many instructions and did not notify any media or fans, so no one knew the exact time of his return to China, and no one came to pick him up.

Obviously, this is what Chen Ran likes to hear.

Experience the sensational pick-up scene once or twice is enough.

The scene of a huge crowd of people, squeezing forward and backward, was still fresh in his memory. It was almost impossible to move even an inch. If something unexpected happens, public opinion will still have to make amends.

After all, Chen Ran no longer needs to use lively airport pick-up scenes to show that "I am very popular" like some entertainment stars.

When Chen Ran arrived at the General Administration of Sports in Yanjing, many Chinese media woke up and realized that they had missed the important pick-up moment.

This Chen Ran team was so elusive that there was no movement at all.

Chen Ran was received by many leaders in the Sports Bureau.

However, although winning the Australian Open is of great significance to Chen Ran himself, for those leaders, it should not be as meaningful as last year's French Open and US Open.

The French Open represents a "zero" breakthrough, while the US Open represents a new high after overcoming the curse of one crown.

At this time, an idea suddenly emerged from Chen Ran's heart.

Will these picky Chinese fans become numb and no longer feel any excitement if they win another Grand Slam championship?

Just like table tennis, winning the championship is not news, but losing the championship is news.

Today's Table Tennis Super League has almost reached the point where no one cares about it. Tickets cannot be sold, and young people's interest in this sport is dwindling.

This is why a few years later, Liu Pangqiu began to engage in rice circles in order to make a living in table tennis.

Because everyone knows that those fanatical female fans are the best money to make and can also keep table tennis alive.

As for those male fans, they would rather spend money to watch the Chinese Super League and CBA.

In fact, in this era, most sports fans are also interested in football, basketball, and the emerging tennis.

Because these are sports that have global influence and are highly commercialized, they are highly entertaining but have low thresholds, are easy to understand, and are topical.

Even before Chen Ran, the level of tennis in China had been weak, but the popularity of tennis games in China was not low at all.

Chinese fans know the men's players Zhang Depei, Agassi, Sampras, and the women's players Hingis, Steffi Graf, Kava and so on.

It can be said that apart from football and basketball stars, tennis is the most familiar foreign sports star to Chinese fans.

The emergence of Chen Ran has filled the gap for Chinese athletes in the field of tennis.

As a result, China's current professional sports market, which is not very mature, has been divided up by football and basketball, and the remaining part has been eaten up by tennis.

Other movements can basically only rely on the system to survive, and taking the market-oriented route will only lead to a dead end.

At this moment, Chen Ran was wearing casual clothes, watching the leaders on the stage talking, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

This time it was the deputy director who came. The director was busy preparing for the Olympics and did not come either.

The current director of the Sports Bureau is Yuan Weimin, the coach who coached the women's volleyball team during its five consecutive championships. He got this position because of his outstanding achievements.

As for the speaker on the stage, although he also congratulated Chen Ran for winning the Australian Open, five of the ten sentences this guy said were about the Athens Olympics, and three of them were even about the Yanjing Olympics four years later.

Leaders have leadership ideas, but you can't expect them to keep up with the mainstream of world sports.

Not to mention now, it will be the same in 20 years.

"The top priority is this year's Athens Olympics."

"Whether I will succeed or not will happen in August this year!"

The deputy director spoke earnestly to Sun Jinfang, the director of the Tennis Center.
