Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 80 Conditions for the road to giants

PS: According to the suggestions of many readers, this chapter will make some adjustments to the system functions. After the protagonist's attribute value reaches a certain value, the way of cashing out the potential value will change.

……

After Chen Ran returned to Dongzhou City to rest for a few days, the Magic City Year-End Masters Cup also came to an end.

Among them, tennis king Agassi, who has been the center of attention since he got off the plane, has always been in mediocre form in this year-end competition and was eliminated in the group stage.

The future giant Federer performed well and reached the semi-finals.

Hewitt, a player from Australia, won the year-end Masters Cup, while the runner-up was Ferrero from Spain.

Hewitt…

This name is a bit far away for Chen Ran, and because he had previously focused on Agassi and Federer, he had somewhat overlooked this person.

After Chen Ran deliberately checked some information about Hewitt on the Internet, he recalled some memories that had long been dusty.

Hewitt is actually the same age as Federer, and Chen Ran had always subconsciously thought that Hewitt was a figure from Federer's previous era.

At the age of 19, he won the first Grand Slam US Open championship, and at the age of 20, he won the Wimbledon championship this year.

At this age, Hewitt's achievements are enough for Federer to look up to.

However, this was not his beginning, but already his peak, which was very short-lived, like a bright meteor streaking across the sky.

Because Hewitt's playing style was too harmful to the body, his competitive status declined like a cliff after the surgery.

Tennis matches, best-of-three-set tournaments often last two to three hours, and best-of-five-set Grand Slam matches often last four or five hours, which takes a huge toll on the players' bodies.

Physical endurance is an important condition for players to ensure long-term peak performance.

You can work hard physically, but you can't just rely on your body to play. Only by having comprehensive skills can you extend your career.

Chen Ran's next plan is to continue to polish his skills in the "simulation training ground".

After all, he has the best coaching resources and training conditions in the world.

Of course, Chen Ran also needs to hire a better physical coach to improve his physical fitness in real-world training.

Then, there is the issue of the potential value of each attribute.

With Chen Ran's current extreme technical attribute of 80 points, he can train himself to 74 points, which is considered to have basically fulfilled his talent.

In this world, every athlete who can realize his talent is lucky. After all, most people choose to give up due to various factors on the way up.

For Chen Ran, continued training can still improve attribute values, but the room for improvement is already very small, and the efficiency will be greatly reduced compared to before.

You must quickly increase the upper limit of your technical attributes to 85 points.

The system has reminded that when Chen Ran's technical attribute value rises to 85 points, mental attribute value to 85 point, and physical attribute value to 90 point, it is no longer feasible to exchange the wealth value brought by the prophet's message for potential value.

A technical attribute of 85, a mental attribute of 85, and a physical attribute of 90 means that you are already a world-class player.

If you want to go further and continue to show potential value, it cannot be redeemed by wealth alone.

After all, in the real world, even money can't buy someone who has grown from a first-class player to a super-first-class giant player. These people are all lucky.

The conditions given by the system are that Chen Ran needs to defeat the "lucky boy in the tennis world" in the Olympics, Masters, year-end finals or the four Grand Slams.

It must be these four competitions. ATP250 competitions and ATP500 competitions are not yet eligible.Because of this level of competition, the system determines that giant-level players will not be able to use their full power.

Although the ATP250 and ATP500 tournaments can indeed be used as the honor standard for first-class players, giant players watch the Grand Slams first, then the year-end finals, and then the Masters and the Olympics.

There are currently four players who meet the criteria of "lucky children in the tennis world", namely Agassi, Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic.

In fact, Sampras is also a qualified "son of luck". After all, he has not really retired yet, but he basically won't come out to play games, so Chen Ran will have no chance to meet him in the stadium in the future.

"The four Grand Slams, the year-end finals, the Masters, and the Olympics. If I want to continue to improve my potential, I must win the duel with those four people in these arenas."

"So the way to become a giant player is to beat other giant players."

Chen Ran's eyes flashed with excitement, and he was eager to try.

This condition not only did not make him want to retire, but made him look forward to it even more.

Previously, Chen Ran was worried that as his basic attributes became higher and higher, the more wealth he would need to lock in to redeem his potential value. Obviously, he no longer needs to worry about this in the future.

After withdrawing 20 yuan, Chen Ran still has more than [-] yuan available.

He first went to the securities exchange market and spent 9 yuan to continue buying Moutai stocks. Adding the 1 yuan he had already spent, he made up exactly 10 yuan.

As a result, Chen Ran still has more than 30 yuan in savings.

Continue to invest in Moutai stocks, or...

Chen Ran thought of his identity as a tennis player, walked out of the stock exchange market, and called Dong Bing, Vice President of Nike China.

After chatting for a while, he expressed his intention to come.

"Mr. Dong, I would like to ask someone like me who is under [-] years old, what are the requirements for opening a Nasdaq account?"

Dong Bing was a little surprised and said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, I didn't expect you to know how to trade stocks, and even if Big A is not satisfied with you, you actually want to go to the US stock market."

"Although I am also patriotic and believe that China's economy will definitely take off in the future, I must admit that the best companies in the world are currently in the United States." Chen Ran said frankly, leaving the other party unable to find any loopholes.

"By the way, haven't you said you can open a Nasdaq account under my conditions?"

"As a foreigner and you are under [-] years old, generally speaking, it is not possible. Even if you can have proof of income, there are exceptions."

"Identity as a tennis player?"

"Clever!" Dong Bing nodded in approval, "You won the ATP Challenger Championship, and the ATP ranking is 312. With these bases, Nasdaq will allow even a foreigner who is not qualified to open the account." account.”

Tennis players with ATP rankings are Chen Ran's best talisman.

"That's good. But I don't know much about how to open an account there. Could you please help me, Mr. Dong? I can provide you with all the information."

"Okay!" Dong Bing immediately agreed, "Leave the account opening to me. But..."

"Xiao Chen, you still have to focus on improving your own strength, don't focus all your energy on stock trading!"

She also has a Nasdaq account and knows that the U.S. stock market is quite profitable, at least compared to Big A, so she is worried that Chen Ran will be happy in the ocean of U.S. stocks.

"Don't worry, Mr. Dong, I know very well that tennis is the foundation for my livelihood." Chen Ran said firmly.
