Chapter 1066: Challenging the Grand Slam Championship Three Years Later

At this time, in another hotel, Spaniard Montanes was very happy after knowing that his opponent in the first round was Li Ba. He felt that his luck had come.

"Albert, this is a good opportunity, you are going to be famous!"

His agent Holmes was even happier than him and immediately found him a local BBC reporter for an interview.

"I know he is a superstar in the sport, but this is a completely different sport and he has not trained for a long time, so I feel he should not be here. He will fail here and he will leave Wenzhou. It’s still too late, this is my advice to him.”

Facing the media, Montanes suppressed his excitement and spoke calmly.

"Do you think you can defeat the Hammer?" the reporter asked.

"I will not allow myself to be upset." Montanez said seriously.

"What do you mean by unpopular?" the reporter asked.

"Of course I lost to him, what else could it be?" Montanez said.

At seven o'clock, Li Ba accepted an interview with CCTV reporter Li Hua.

"Iron Hammer, many fans in China want to know one thing now, is your tennis playing just for fun or is it serious?" Li Hua asked.

"That kind of fan?" Li Ba asked.

Li Hua was startled and said, "I'm mainly a basketball fan."

Li Ba smiled and said: "I signed a three-year tennis sponsorship contract with Adidas. With tens of millions of dollars in sponsorship, can I still play?"

"Wow, such a big sponsorship contract? Then this is the largest tennis sponsorship contract in China." Li Hua said in surprise.

"My goal at Wimbledon this year is to advance to the second round and avoid a first round trip. My goal at the US Open in September is bigger and I hope to go further. But overall, after three years, I should challenge for the Grand Slam champion. Impact." Li Ba openly stated his tennis goals.

"Grand Slam champion?" Li Hua's eyes couldn't help but shine.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Eddie Hearn called and said that the location of PT had been arranged, and it was at a famous private hotel.

At the same time, Eddie Hearn also told him a piece of news. Many casinos in Europe opened bets on whether he could advance to the second round.

"Hammer, are you going to bet on yourself?"

Eddie Hearn knows that Li Ba likes to bet on him. In order to prevent him from betting on his boxing matches, a group of casinos in Las Vegas teamed up to give his wife a multi-million dollar supercar. ran, causing a sensation in all media.

"Are you optimistic about my casino?" Li Ba asked with a smile.

"Most casinos don't favor you, but the odds are not big. Obviously they have learned from the experience of Las Vegas and are afraid that you will do what you did in the boxing ring on the tennis court." Eddie Hearn laughed. road.

"The odds are not high? Forget it, I'm not interested." Li Ba smiled.

Next, he began to notify the friends who needed to be invited. Time was short and invitations could not be sent, so he would contact them directly by phone.

At this time, in a bar, Zheng Jie and several others were together, plus Jiang Shan and Zhang Yu, a total of six people.

"I think we should get in touch. It's not a problem to wait like this, right? He has to prepare for the game, and maybe he doesn't want to get together with us at all."

Yan Zhi glanced at Zhang Yu and said.

"I think so. It's not like we don't know each other. It's okay to call him and make an appointment. I heard he has a good temper."

Peng Shuai also echoed.

"Li Na, what do you think?" Zheng Jie asked.

"I heard that he has a good relationship with the higher-ups. During the Olympic men's basketball finals last year, several leaders from the General Administration were there. Do they have any opinions on our solo career?" Li Na said.

This was a new idea that no one else had expected, not even Li Na's husband Zhang Shan.

"No way, he is not in the system, he should be supporting us." Jiang Shan said.

"How do you know he supports us? The butt determines the head. Does he have any relevant interests with us?" Li Na glared at Jiangshan and asked.

At this time, Zhang Yu said: "I think it's possible."

"look?"

With supporters, Li Na became more powerful and Jiang Shan's head shrank.

"Then what interests does he have in it?" Yan Zhi asked.

"Maybe he wants to be the chairman of the Basketball Association in the future?" Li Na thought for a while and guessed.

She originally said that, but now that she said it, even she felt it was very possible, and she even believed it.

"With his status, it is really possible. I even think it is possible for him to enter the system in the future. With Li Ba's status in the sports world, damn, this name is really disgusting, he is very likely to run away Let’s develop in this position.” Zhang Yu nodded.

"Yep."

Li Na nodded in agreement.

"Then there will be no contact?" Yan Zhi asked.

"I won't hit you if I want to," Li Na said.

"Me, I won't fight either," Yan Zhi said.

At this time, the TV in the bar broadcast a BBC news clip, which was a clip of the reporter interviewing Eddie Hearn, one of the most famous boxing promotion agents in the UK.

Facing the camera, Eddie Hearn said with a smile on his face: "I am very happy that Anthony Joshua will train with the Hammer. The Hammer expressed that he is very optimistic about Anthony's future. At the same time, tomorrow I will support the Hammer and his friends Let’s hold a PT…”

"Look, he's about to start PT, and he didn't even say he would get together with us, which means he doesn't take us seriously at all. Fortunately, we didn't call him, otherwise he would be very embarrassed," said Li Na.

"It's still because we didn't achieve good results and people looked down upon us." Zhang Yu said.

Yan Zhi said: "I don't think he is that kind of person. During the Olympics, I heard that he was very nice and visited him everywhere."

"Then did he visit your door?" Li Na said angrily.

"That's not true." Hun Zhi said awkwardly.

At this time, the TV camera turned and switched to another interview video, which was exactly the content of the reporter's interview with Montanes.

"Do you think the Hammers can beat Montanes? This guy should be pretty good and has several championship titles." Yan Zhi asked.

"Do you think he can win? He has only trained for a few months, and he trained in his spare time outside of basketball. I estimate that his training time is not even the amount of training we have in a month. If he can win against Wenzhou in this way, The No. 32 seed on the Net, what do you want us professional tennis players to do? We can all work part-time," Li Na said with a sneer.

"I support Li Na's view on this." Peng Shuai said with a smile.

"When I win a Grand Slam championship in the future, I will find an opportunity to slap him in the face. He is just like that. Does he think that because he can play basketball, he can play tennis? Look at this Wimbledon, does he dare to play in the qualifying rounds? Directly. What’s the point of getting a wild card for the main draw? If you have the ability to start in the qualifying rounds, it’s not like you don’t have the time.”

Li Na said coldly.
