Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 530 Because of Chen Ran, Federer breaks up with Nike (4K)

Can you lose like this?
It can be seen with the naked eye that Chen Ran is not in good condition today.

His competitive state is far different from the previous games.

Grosjean, your current world ranking is at least No. 7 in the world!
My throat has become hoarse, the result is this level!
You were so hard up front, but at the critical moment you softened and let go! Isn't the front hardened in vain?

Today, Chen Ran's level of receiving and serving was obviously not online due to his reduced concentration.

Because in a tennis match, no matter how high your level of receiving the serve is, when your concentration begins to decrease, the success rate of receiving the serve will decrease, and the difficulty of breaking serve will also increase exponentially.

In this semi-final, Chen Ran was broken once by Grosjean in the first set, but in the second and third sets, Chen Ran failed to break back.

Breaking serve in a set is difficult because it requires players to stay focused throughout the set.

But for a mini break in the tie-break, you just need to stay focused when the opponent serves.

Chen Ran still relied on his perfect performance in the tie-break to win strongly.

After all, many people have witnessed with their own eyes that their No. 1 brother still failed to win even though Chen Ran was in such a bad state, especially in the tiebreaker where he lost miserably.

He has even become France's most popular foreign athlete.

"At least after breaking off the engagement, I feel free, an unprecedented relaxation. I have regained my former free self." Alijie sent another text message to Chen Ran.

This is always telling you the huge gap like a chasm between your opponent and yourself.

As a result, many French fans switched sides and began to support Chen Ran.

Does this make Chen Ran a public enemy of France?

Chen Ran was thinking deeply in his heart.

"Do you know that you are very famous in China, and there are paparazzi everywhere here. It is not as quiet as Corsica. Like you, I am a quiet person."

Chen Ran also generously said that this was not a big deal, and some things would always happen unexpectedly, so the French beauty should not worry about it.

But he never expected it to end like this.

Faintly, he heard someone shouting in French: "See, this guy always softens up at critical moments. Look how tough Chen Ran is at critical moments."

Grosjean feels that he has shown his best competitive form.

This time, Alijie was silent for a long time. When Chen Ran thought that the other party would not reply, he replied with another message.

"These losers should be taught a lesson."

"This... don't be like this, okay? I prefer to see you French people being unruly and challenging me. But why do you raise the white flag so quickly? Although this seems to be your tradition... "

Eleven consecutive wins!

After returning to the hotel where he was staying, Chen Ran received a rather unexpected text message from Alijie, whom he had not contacted for a long time.

"I hope Chen Ran can continue to refresh his winning streak against Chinese players."

In a daze, he shook hands with Chen Ran, then picked up his duffel bag and walked to the players' tunnel.

The lines seemed to imply that she was the free girl only when she stayed by Chen Ran's side.

Chen Ran's winning streak against French players continues to be updated.

Kill people and kill your heart!

In particular, he seemed to hear the cursing voices of the French fans and reporters.

"The standard of French tennis today is simply terrible."

……

……

He defended all his serve games and also broke Chen Ran's serve once. He will never be able to play better than he did today.

"Chen Ran, thank you for understanding me. I am so touched and want to fly to China to see you right away."

"Alijie, believe me! Marriage is the tomb of love. You are a free elf and should not be bound. I congratulate you on regaining your freedom, beautiful elf!" Chen Ran's idea is very simple. Since the other party has After saying that "breaking off the engagement" means regaining freedom, then he should just follow the other person's wishes and make the other person happy.

He paused, then typed a line of text.

The result turned out to be like this!
Grosjean felt like he was going to collapse.

Chen Ran suddenly felt a little dizzy.

No!

"..." Chen Ran suddenly felt that those netizens in his previous life had never deceived him. These earthy love words and even some witty words from Huaxia could be killed in the outside world.

The beautiful French girl expressed her apology to Chen Ran because her own affairs had caused unexpected trouble to her.

How to deal with this?

"11 consecutive defeats!"

Before the game, he thought about losing and that French players would lose 11 consecutive games to Chen Ran.

On the contrary, because of Chen Ran's eleven consecutive victories against French players, his scandal with Alijie, and his previous two French Open wins, his popularity in France continues to soar.

Grosjean stroked his forehead with some despair.

Chen Ran never broke serve in the entire match, but the score in the tie-break was so disparate.

"I also hate those damn paparazzi. Since the outside world thinks we are over, let them always think so, and we will be clean."

You see the advantage of finding people in your circle.

Not only will everyone not bluff and take the opportunity to hype, but they will also take the initiative to calm things down.

They all care about image and face.

But to put it another way, seeing the reactions of netizens, most people are not only envious but also amazed at Chen Ran's charm.

From Alijie, to Sharapova, and then to Ivanovic.

"Mainland actresses, you are lagging behind. You should work harder and show off your vixen skills!"

Netizens shouted enthusiastically.

It's just that Chen Ran allowed netizens to dig deep and use all kinds of tricks to find out, but they still didn't find any connection between Chen Ran and mainland actresses.

The only one I could find was a duet single between Chen Ran and Faye Wong.

Other than that, there seems to be little interaction between them.

Even according to friends close to Faye Wong, Faye Wong has invited Chen Ran to play mahjong together several times, but after only succeeding once, she has not appeared again.

"Mainland actress?"

"The quality of mainland actresses today is definitely several notches higher than those who underwent plastic surgery in later generations."

Suddenly, a beautiful figure flashed in Chen Ran's head, and her loving eyes were full of reincarnation of a vixen.

At this moment, he still adheres to the principle of "not taking the initiative, not refusing, and not being responsible."

Drop~
At this time, Chen Ran's personal cell phone rang. His heart moved, and he took out his phone and glanced at it.

Sure enough, Cao Cao arrived when he was told.

I just thought about the mainland actress, and the other party actually took the initiative to send me a text message, and it was the private number he gave me before.

"Chen Ran, have you encountered some trouble these days? Those reporters are the most annoying, just ignore them. Sister, I have been here. I don't know how many times I have been slandered by them. I rarely clarify." The text message came from It was Fan Binbin who had just added each other's mobile phone numbers a few days ago.

Isn't it because these things are true if we don't clarify them?

Chen Ran muttered silently, of course he couldn't be stupid enough to send this text message.

"I haven't lost anything anyway. It's up to them to report whatever they want, but I still thank Sister Binbin for her words of comfort."

"Hehe, you're welcome."

The two of them chatted one after another.

Chen Ran very keenly noticed that the other party was always looking for topics to talk about, trying to inadvertently increase the familiarity between the two.

When do you act like a coquettish girl, when do you act like a little girl, when do you become serious, and do it very well. In short, your methods are very clever.

This made Chen Ran somewhat amazed at the communication skills of actresses in the entertainment industry.

I don’t know what my IQ is, but my emotional intelligence is definitely top-notch, and paired with this good looks, I’m simply invincible.

Chen Ran found that he was a little distracted, and then he rushed to the bathroom and washed his face with cold water.

It is indeed very scary for a beautiful woman to take the initiative.

No wonder so many innocent boys fall into trouble so quickly after encountering a beautiful woman's deliberate advances, and even don't even know they are being killed.

Some boys who play games every day and have little experience in the world, after falling into the love network deliberately created by a beautiful woman, only know how to spend money blindly, thinking that only in this way can they close the distance between themselves and the beautiful woman and maintain the relationship between them.

Some people may wake up in time, but some people may be trapped in it and unable to extricate themselves. Until one day after being squeezed dry by the other party, they are heartbroken and choose to jump into the river, and then start the next goal with the beautiful woman who has made the money.

All the events in his past life made Chen Ran worry about his memory and make him cautious.

So every time when he was flying, he would encounter those charming flight attendants secretly stuffing notes for him, but he would just throw them into the trash can without saying a word.

"But the person opposite is well-known and popular. Although his current acting career is not making much progress, he doesn't want to make money by setting up a pig killing plate. There must be a purpose, but most likely he just wants to take the opportunity to hype up."

When Chen Ran thought of this, he sat on the edge of the bed, holding the phone in one hand and lost in thought.

"If you want to create hype, let's see how proactive and charming you are."

As for whether it will be fake and real? In fact, it’s not necessarily true that a fake show can’t be done, it’s just that you have to pay attention to your kidneys and not your heart.

"Good night, there will be a game tomorrow." After Chen Ran sent this text message, he turned off his personal phone and fell asleep.

……

The schedule of the Shenzhen Masters is very tight, and it can even be said that the entire Asian season schedule is very tight.

If it were during the Asian Games, the ATP would definitely not allow the Asian season tour to give way to the Asian Games, which would also cause headaches for many Asian tennis players.

For example, if these Asian tennis players register for the Asian Games, they will often miss two of the Asian Tour stops, and all their points in these two weeks will be cleared.

In short, in the eyes of the ATP, the tennis events of the Asian Games are completely different from the Olympic Games. The former is not an international event recognized by them.

Fortunately, there was no Asian Games in the 2005 Asian season, but the schedule of the Shenzhen Masters was still very tight. One week after the game, there was the 500 in Tokyo on a small day next door.

This simply leaves the players with no time to rest.

Therefore, the idea of ​​​​Chinese fans hoping to stage a "Chen Fei Showdown" at home came to nothing.

Perhaps it was because the Swiss King signed a long-term contract with the little boy next door. He only reached the top 32 of the Shenzhen Masters and was eliminated early.

In any case, his points cannot catch up with Chen Ran, and he will not be surpassed by the third place, so Federer's mentality is very open-minded.

After the Swiss stopped in the top 32, they boarded a plane to their small days the next day.

In short, the other party seems to be eager to escape from China.

Is Chen Ran's psychological burden on him really that serious?
In the final of the first Shenzhen Masters, Chen Ran's opponent was fellow Swiss Wawrinka.

This is the first time that their doubles partners have met in the finals of an important event.

However, on the eve of the finals, sensational news broke from Xiaori.

Swiss tennis king Roger Federer has announced the termination of his contract with Nike.

He switched to Uniqlo, the clothing brand company he used to own in his childhood!
After Chen Ran learned the news, he was shocked for a while.

I remember that in his previous life, Federer did part ways with Nike, but this happened at the end of his career.

At that time, the contract given by Nike was reduced because they saw that Federer was being overtaken by Nadal and Djokovic.

So, the poacher showed up.

The poacher was none other than Uniqlo in my childhood.

The other party really gave too much, so much that Federer simply couldn't refuse.

Uniqlo gave the other party a 10-year, US$3 million contract in one go, which also made Federer's wealth lead in professional tennis.

In this time and space, Uniqlo's poaching speed has been greatly advanced by ten years.

Is it because of myself again?

Indeed, because of Chen Ran's impressive record.

The treatment that Nike gives to Chen Ran and that to Federer are completely at two different levels.

Even because of Wawrinka's early rise, Nike firmly believes that Federer is no longer their only choice in Switzerland.

As a result, Nike showed unprecedented arrogance, which was especially obvious in the contract extension given to Federer.

The treatment between him and Chen Ran was very different.

How could Federer, who has always been arrogant, accept such humiliation?
He declined outright and entered free agency.

Uniqlo, who happened to be young, extended an olive branch in time, and the two hit it off immediately.

The deeper reason is that Chen Ran rarely goes to small-time games and has almost given up on the market there. Federer, on the other hand, attaches great importance to the small-time market but ignores the Chinese market.

After all, he himself knew that it was impossible for him to compete with Chen Ran in the Chinese market.

"So Roger was eliminated so quickly because he was in a hurry to sign a big contract in his small life?"

When Chen Ran saw Wawrinka, he joked.

"Probably, his points can't catch up with yours anyway."

Wawrinka shrugged, then showed excitement: "Chen... from now on, I am Nike's number one brother in Switzerland, and even in the whole of Northern Europe."
