[Tennis] Qin Jin is good

On March 3, the Indian Wells Masters officially started.

Qin Min's luck in signing for this competition was good. Compared with the lower half where Haimo Janssen, Bruno and many other masters were in, the upper half where he was in was undoubtedly safer.In the first round of the competition, Qin Min's opponent was Argentine player García Fernandez, who came out of the qualifying round.

Although the opponent came out of the qualifying round, it does not mean that his strength can be compared with Qin Min, especially after several days of competition, his physical strength and energy are comparable to Qin Min who has been recharging his energy for a long time. Compared with Qin Min, he was even at a disadvantage.

Although Qin Min and his team are in a relatively relaxed state for this game, they still have to do their best to do their best, and only by making complete preparations can they really feel at ease.Therefore, before the game, Qin Min and Morton discussed various plans and tactics for the game together.

Qin Min's first game was held outdoors. Although the weather was still a bit cold at this time, and the audience in the auditorium next to him were still covering their coats, but for Qin Min, once he started exercising, he would only feel hot Sweat dripped down from the hair, forehead, and tip of the nose.

From the very beginning of the game, Qin Min saw Fernandez's tactics against him today - more use of the front of the net.Qin Min is undoubtedly a person who prefers to compete with his opponents on the bottom line. In previous games, he seldom took the initiative to go to the net.

But this is only because Qin Min prefers to hit the ball hard and fast compared to some small and dexterous shots. In fact, many of his styles of play are restrained in front of the net.Therefore, apart from catching Qin Min by surprise at the beginning, Fernandez's tactic did not cause much trouble to Qin Min afterwards.

His serve is very good, the success rate is high, and the success rate of the first serve is still maintained at about 72%, so that he can easily grasp the rhythm in his own serve, and his ability to control the landing point is not inferior to that of Haimer Janssen. He is famous, so when he receives or serves, Qin Min will hit the ball directly to the back of the court more directly, especially directly to the opponent's body, compressing Fernandez's space for returning the ball, and at the same time avoiding him. Hit him with force when receiving the serve.

In addition, Qin Min has been practicing his spin when hitting the ball since the end of last year, and this time is also the time to test the results.Qin Min applied more topspin to the ball when hitting the ball, which made Fernandez always have to hit the ball higher when he hit the ball back. In this way, even the ball in front of the net gave Qin Min more reaction and preparation time.

Soon, Fernandez began to switch tactics, adopting a style of attacking frequently from the bottom line but dropping the ball unexpectedly.This flexible and changeable style of play undoubtedly requires Qin Min to pay more attention to observe Fernandez's movements and predict his subsequent changes.

However, if a top player adopts this tactic at this time, it may cause Qin Min a lot of trouble, and the trouble caused by Fernandez is really limited.He tried his best to do some fake moves in order to deceive Qin Min, but his strength was not enough. Every time he caught Qin Min's ball, he consumed a lot of mind, and he couldn't concentrate on thinking about the quick switch between his fake moves and real moves. The extent to which one can be deceived is really limited.

In the end, the game ended quickly with Qin Min winning 6:3/6:1.

At the end of the game, Fernandez was not without frustration.He struggled from the qualifying round to the main draw, but was eventually eliminated in just one round.But this is actually the status quo of most tennis players, it can only be said that their skills are not as good as others.

However, every time I see a talented young player like Qin Min, I still feel a little envious. Some people are born with a keen sense of tennis, with high acuity, and can easily understand the essence of skills and tactics. It also takes hard training. , but a talented person is more likely to succeed than a less talented person like him.

Qin Min is not clear about Fernandez's psychological activities, but he knows very well that although not everyone in this world is talented, there are quite a few talented people, but very few people can succeed, and many people end up squandering A talent in oneself that others cannot ask for.All he can do is train hard so he doesn't become one of those guys.

The next day's charity event for deaf children is scheduled to start at 09:30 am.The organizer of this event planned a lot. The organizers invited all famous athletes who did not compete that day. In the end, including Qin Min, a total of 12 athletes came.

In addition, the organizer also cooperated with local deaf-blind charity organizations to invite 30 local deaf-mute children aged 6 to 12, poor or orphaned.Of course, a lot of media also came. Except for the local media, all the media that followed the Masters in Indian Wells recently basically sent people to shoot.Coupled with the family members who accompanied the children and the local people who came to watch, the event site can be said to be lively.

After Qin Min arrived, he changed into a blue T-shirt issued by the organizer with the badge of the Masters and the slogan of the event printed on it.Because of the low temperature, he put on a sports jacket outside.However, in order to reveal the T-shirt inside, the jacket was not zipped.

Even in foreign countries, some leadership speeches cannot be avoided at the beginning of the event.However, the speech was not long, and the activities began soon.

The organizer set up several donation boxes in the square outside the stadium. As long as you donate money to the donation box, you can get a thank you card if you donate more than 10 US dollars, and you can get a small cake or chocolate made by deaf children.If it reaches more than 20 US dollars, you can get another autograph card, and you can get a postcard signed by a player with the autograph card, and each person can donate up to three times.The money donated will eventually be used to help deaf children with hearing aids and other purposes.

The postcards were printed with photos of the players and slogans about caring for deaf children, which were signed by Qin Min and the others in advance.The task of Qin Min and his athletes is to express their gratitude to each donor in front of the donation box together with the deaf-mute children, and distribute small cakes or chocolates and cards.

Before going to the donation box, the organizer distributed 30 deaf-mute children to 12 players to lead. Compared with other players, Qin Min has the natural advantage of being able to sign language, so Qin Min took the initiative to apply for the responsibility of 3 children, two girl and a boy.The three children are all under 10 years old, one is 7 years old and the other two are 9 years old.

As deaf-mute children, although they are not autistic, the three children are not overly extroverted. Therefore, when facing a stranger like Qin Min, the three of them were unavoidably cautious.

Looking at the three children looking at him with wide open eyes, Qin Min couldn't help but become more gentle.He squatted down and looked at the children at the same level, and began to communicate with them in sign language.

"Hello, can I make friends with you?"

Seeing that he can sign language, the three children were also a little surprised.But the feeling of strangeness between each other seems to have disappeared a lot at once.

"You can't talk too?" The boy who was the oldest among the three children was overjoyed, and asked after a moment of hesitation.

"No, I can talk, but I can sign because my best friend can't speak."

"Then your friend is so lucky to be friends with someone as good as you. No one wants to play with me."

"No, it's my luck to be friends with him. My friend is a very powerful person. He was a well-known writer when he was very young. He can write very interesting books and earn a lot of money. "

Hearing what he said, the three children all had amazed expressions on their faces.

"So, I think you will definitely be very powerful in the future."

"Really? Then I want to be a writer too. This way I don't have to work so hard for my dad."

"Okay, then you must study hard in the future, read more books, and see how other writers write stories. Then let's go and give the small cakes and chocolates you made to other uncles and aunts first, and ask them Is it okay to see if it tastes good? If you don’t want to be writers, then it’s not bad to become a pastry chef to make delicious desserts in the future!”

Seeing the three children nodding excitedly, Qin Min picked up the youngest 7-year-old girl in his arms, and walked to the donation box with the other two children.

The people who came to donate calmed down after the first wave of concentration in the past, and a few people came over from time to time. Qin Min and the three children also had a little free time, and sat on the chair behind the donation box to chat and play together.

Because of the smooth communication, the three children became familiar with him, and they were not so reserved in front of him.Compared with other athletes and children who are still in the situation of awkward chatting from time to time, several children have begun to show their lively nature in front of Qin Min, especially the seven-year-old girl. She was counted as the most restrained before, but now she counts She is the most mischievous, insisting on sitting on Qin Min's feet and letting him swing for her. Fortunately, she is still petite and Qin Min is very strong.

Seeing the little sister playing happily sitting on Qin Min's feet, the other two children were also a little envious, but they also knew that they were too old to play this kind of game.Qin Min then unscrewed the lids of the four mineral water bottles next to them, and played a small game of flicking the lids with them on the table next to them, to see who could flick the furthest without falling off the table.

This kind of small game is simple and fun. The four of them had a lot of fun playing it, and it soon attracted the attention of the people around them.Some media and onlookers were filming with cameras and mobile phones.

It is impossible for the athletes to watch the donation box all the time. Therefore, it didn’t take long for the staff to come to them to participate in the next activity, teaching deaf children how to play tennis.

Still, each athlete is responsible for the few children he or she brings.Compared with the two older children who are already sensible at the age of 9, the 7-year-old little sister has much less patience in learning.Qin Min taught her a few simple moves and she never listened to them again, and she was very happy to shoot the ball by herself.

Simply this kind of activity is not really to teach them tennis, but just to play casually, so Qin Min let her go and concentrate on teaching the remaining two older children.

In the end, Qin Min had another decent duel with the three of them. Although there was still chaos in the end and there was no winner, the three children were still very happy.

When the event was over and the three children were about to leave, Qin Min presented each of the three with a pair of rackets and a signed tennis ball.Faced with the scene of being separated from their brother who had a good time today, the three children seemed to know that they would have very little chance of seeing each other again from now on. They cried more miserable than the other, and they hugged Qin Min's leg and did not let go.

This scene is quite unique among the many children, and it has attracted the attention of many people, but it has also imperceptibly improved everyone's evaluation of Qin Min. It is enough to make sensitive children feel so attached to him. It proved Qin Min's personal charm.

The author has something to say:

In fact, sign languages ​​around the world are not completely unified, just like various dialects, so there will still be communication barriers, but here I set it as unified!
