Chapter 4 Coach Fujino
Chapter 4 Coach Fujino
After being introduced by an acquaintance, Grandpa got in touch with Coach Fujino, and Coach Fujino asked Grandpa to bring Ximu to the club first.

Hearing that grandpa said that he could meet a great coach, Ximu was excited all morning. He put on his sportswear and carried a tennis racket and was ready to go out. Grandpa grabbed him and said, "Let's talk after breakfast." Ximu stuck out her tongue, and she put This is all forgotten.

Ximu came to the tennis club led by his grandfather, and a man in his early thirties greeted him, "Are you Mr. Kudo?"

Grandpa nodded, "Hello! Coach Fujino, this is my granddaughter Cangye Ximu." Ximu obediently bowed to Coach Fujino, "Hello, Coach Fujino" and then raised his head to meet Coach Fujino's scrutiny. Coach Fujino's eyes were deep and piercing, and Ximu did not back down. He looked at Coach Fujino and accepted his scrutiny openly.

Although the child looks thin and weak, the confidence in his eyes is admirable. It is really rare to have such confidence at such a young age. This is the first impression of Coach Fujino on Ximu, "Follow me to the stadium first." Let me catch a few balls and let me see." Coach Fujino set a checkpoint for Ximu to see how her skills are.

After twenty balls, Coach Fujino can be sure that this kid is a rare talent.Breathing evenly, without a trace of confusion, very timely movement, good speed, able to catch most of the ball, but still needs more improvement.From the sound of hitting the ball, it can be judged that the ball landed on the field without exception. Her ball flew at a stable height, and it was a certain distance from the net but it would not go off the net.Maybe because she is a girl, her own limitations are relatively strong, and her strength is far from enough.She's not a competitive player, at least not right now.

Coach Fujino finally decided to accept Ximu as a student. After all, there are not many girls with such conditions.After passing the test of Coach Fujino, Ximu officially became a student of Coach Fujino.Xi Mu knew that Coach Fujino was going to accept her as a student, and she couldn't restrain the joy on her face. As for the cost issue, she didn't have to consider it.

After sparring with a young female office worker in the club, Ximu lost 6-4.Ximu wiped the sweat from his forehead, how could this happen?Obviously she saw the opponent's ball path clearly, but why couldn't she fight back?This is not the first time she has encountered such a situation, but she can't figure it out no matter how she thinks about it.

"How do you feel after this match?" Coach Fujino asked Ximu with his arms folded and his brows furrowed. He felt that something was wrong after watching her practice match with others. When he felt some signs, he didn't Tell Ximu, but verify his thoughts through Ximu's subsequent games.

"Perhaps you will think that I am a little arrogant when I say this, but I still feel that I am not far from her level, but why can't I hit back her ball?" Ximu still decided to tell the coach honestly, let's see What the hell is going wrong.

"I have to say, your senses are very sharp. It is true, your level is not low. Tennis is not only about hitting the ball over the net, but the most important thing is to score. It is to prevent the opponent from receiving the ball, and you , but you have been hitting her with the easiest ball to catch, this is the reason for your failure." Coach Fujino pointed out the reason for Ximu's failure pertinently.

"That is to say, I'm feeding her the ball?" Ximu couldn't believe that he was doing such a stupid thing.

"That's right, you've been feeding the ball to the opponent." Although Coach Fujino's tone was harsh, he couldn't help but praise Xi Mu's strength in his heart. Feeding the ball under the opponent's attack is not something ordinary people can do. .And he is good at summing up experience from competitions. After leading so many students, it is the first time that a third-grade child will do such a thing.

It turned out that Ximu immediately understood the reason why she lost the game, and the words of Coach Fujino quickly cleared up the chaotic thoughts in her mind, as if she had suddenly become enlightened in a maze.The reason why she felt wrong before is because she has been playing the easiest ball to the opponent. "But coach, I still have a problem. In the previous games against grown men, although I knew their style of play and the way they played, I couldn't hit them back. Is this also the reason?"

"That's because the gap between your strength and theirs is too big, Ximu, you are a girl after all. It is very difficult for a girl to surpass a boy in strength, so I don't care about your failure in those few practice matches." I'm not surprised." Seeing Ximu's serious expression, Coach Fujino thought something happened, but she asked this, Coach Fujino couldn't help but chuckled.Due to its own limitations, Ximu is much weaker than male players, and it is normal for him to be unable to catch heavy balls.

"In that case, I will definitely lose the game against the boy?" Ximu was a little unwilling, then wouldn't she have no chance of winning at all if she competed with the boy?" But coach, didn't you say that strength is not everything! "

"I have said that strength and speed are not everything, but they are two essential and very important parts. Ximu, there is still room for improvement in your speed and strength, but you want to improve to be able to pick up boys It may be very difficult to play heavy balls." Coach Fujino said truthfully, he could understand Ximu's mood, Ximu's winning rate had not improved during this period, and he knew that Ximu was a little impatient.But he faintly felt that Ximu's fatal weakness was not speed and strength, but...

Ximu pondered, there is still room for improvement in strength and speed, so her speed and strength can be further strengthened.She remembered that her grandfather once told her that there is a kind of kung fu in China that does not require too much strength but can be used to overcome strength. It seems to be called Tai Chi.It would be great if this method could be applied to tennis. Ximu was taken aback by his own thoughts, why did he think of this again?

"Next, fight me." Coach Fujino's words interrupted Ximu's thoughts, and Ximu was forced to stop thinking, and stood on the court to play practice matches with the coach.Coach Fujino's words were stern. He has always been very strict with his students, especially for gifted children. They should not be arrogant because of their talents.

In the ensuing sparring, Coach Fujino played tricky shots, relying on Ximu to find a way to fight back, this is the best way for her to train.Ximu kept running back and forth, and the coach always fully mobilized Ximu to run all over the field, inconstantly.Compared with when Ximu first came here, her speed has improved rapidly, and her physical strength has also increased a lot. At first, she could only last six rounds at most, but now she can last the next game.Ximu is very flexible. Although it is difficult to catch the ball from Coach Fujino, she will do her best to catch the ball from Coach Fujino. Even if she fails to catch the ball, she will count how many seconds she is slow. Ximu will pay attention to speeding up the next time. But now Ximu has been able to catch most of the balls.Perhaps because of the inherent limitations of girls, Ximu's strength has not improved much. Although his grandfather improved Ximu's food because of his increased exercise, the food did not seem to be converted into energy.

"Ximu, you have to learn to analyze a match. Regardless of whether you play or not, you must analyze what kind of play the two opponents adopt, and where the strengths and weaknesses of both sides are. Actual combat experience is of course important, but analysis Ability is also very important.” Coach Fujino decided to ask Ximu to do this in advance. After more than a month of contact, he can fully affirm the child’s analytical ability. Such a calm and calm child is indeed rare, and he does not belong to She is mature at this age, but Ximu is not fixed, and occasionally she will show childishness.But forget it, it is better for children to be more lively, as long as they are serious when doing things.

"Yes" Ximu replied loudly. It sounds good to improve one's level by analyzing the game, but it is still very difficult to implement. "Coach, what do you think?" But she has never seriously analyzed the game, her analysis is still superficial, she does not know how to analyze a game deeply, and she has never watched a formal game from the perspective of an analyst.Ximu tried to do it before, but it worked in theory but not in practice, and Ximu gave up over time.Now that the coach said this, Ximu's eyes shone brightly.

"Well then, Ximu, follow me to watch the regional qualifiers this Saturday," Coach Fujino said to Ximu, but he admired her in his heart, and he was so thoughtful at such a young age.

"Okay" Ximu replied happily, but her mood was full of joy. She hadn't actually experienced a game yet, and she was very curious about the game situation in her heart.Ximu's heart was moved by the method the coach said. Do you want to analyze a game from your own perspective?The coach said that doing so will help increase experience. Ximu has rich practical experience, but also needs theoretical experience, which can also improve Ximu's calculation ability to a certain extent.Analyzing the opponent's ball path on the court can not only cause positive pressure on the opponent, but also cause psychological pressure, and the effect of psychological pressure is much greater than positive pressure.Coach Fujino's idea is that if Ximu can do this, it can cover up Ximu's fatal weakness.Coach Fujino has not explained to Ximu where her fatal weakness is. He hopes that Ximu can find out by himself, and then find a remedy.

A melodious "Canon" was on the radio, and Aunt Mingzi clapped her hands appreciatively. The timbre was accurate, the vibrato was just right, and the emotions were delicate and rich.Ximu put down the violin and rubbed his sore shoulders. This canon is really long!Aunt Mingzi smiled and praised: "Ximu, it sounds very good." "Thank you." Ximu smiled generously and said that he liked the song "Canon" very much when he heard the CD of the concert brought by his father at home that day. , I looked for the score of this Canon on the score that my father brought.Slowly practiced at home. At first, my grandfather frowned when he heard it. After Ximu practiced for a week, he could practice well. Grandpa convinced himself that everything is difficult at the beginning, and he should give more encouragement to the children.Seeing that Ximu had learned all the intermediate-level pieces, Aunt Mingzi decided to teach Ximu more difficult pieces.
