Chapter 1082: Industry Status
Li Ba was surrounded by the media and asked a lot of questions.
"Hammer, your breaking ability is very poor. If you face Djokovic, do you think you can beat him?" a reporter asked.
"You should ask him, can he break my serve?" Li Ba said with a smile.
The implication of this is that if I can keep serve, if I can break serve, I can win.
Another meaning is that if Djokovic can't break serve, he definitely can't beat me.
The media was a little surprised, are you so crazy?
These media are not very familiar with Li Ba because they are not the NBA reporters who follow Li Ba all year round. If they were those people, there would be no surprise at all.
"Iron Hammer, after you fired that record-breaking 260 ace ball, you never broke it again. Does that mean that is your limit?" a reporter asked.
Li Ba chuckled and said, "I can tell you for sure, that's definitely not my limit. I can hit the ball faster."
"oh!"
the media exclaimed.
"Are you sure? If possible, why do you say it so frankly? Aren't you afraid that your opponent will be prepared?"
the reporter asked.
Li Ba said in surprise: "If I send a ball with a speed of more than 260 kilometers per hour, can anyone catch it?"
The reporter was dumbfounded, as if it was indeed an impossible ball to catch, so it didn't matter if he said it.
On the other side, Federer and Djokovic were also surrounded by the media, asking questions related to this game and Liba.
"Roger, what do you think of the Hammers' serve?" a reporter asked.
"It's scary. It's very difficult for anyone to break his serve," Federer said seriously.
"You mean the Hammer will be invincible?" the reporter asked
Of course Federer would not agree with this. He said: "It's just very difficult, but it's not impossible to break serve. If you improve the quality of your return, you still have a chance to break serve."
"What do you think of the Hammer's strength? Does he have a chance to break out of the 4/4 division?" a reporter asked.
Federer glanced at Djokovic. If Li Ba wanted to break out of the 4/4 division, then Djokovic would definitely not be able to break out. He thought for a while and said:
"It seems very difficult to beat Safin with a hammer. Although his ability to hold serve is very strong, his ability to break serve is very weak. I am not optimistic that he can reach the semi-finals."
At this time, a reporter ran over from Li Ba and asked: "Roger, the Hammer just said that he can produce a ball speed of more than 260. Do you think it is possible?"
"What?" Federer was startled, but he quickly came to his senses and said, "It's very possible. With his wingspan and explosive power, it's indeed possible. But I'm sure that a faster ball speed won't make his strength worse." Become stronger."
"Why?" the reporter asked.
"Because the success rate must be very low. If he serves the ball at a faster speed, I can be sure that he will have a higher chance of being broken, and he may send more double faults." Federer laughed.
On the opposite side, a reporter asked Djokovic: "Djokovic, do you think the Hammers are the strongest opponent in 4/4?"
Djokovic sneered and said: "If Wimbledon is not a long set but a tie-break, he will never beat Safin."
The reporter asked: "Do you think Hammer defeated Hammer just by relying on physical strength?"
"Of course, that's for sure," Djokovic said.
"What do you think of his ability to serve and hold serve? In the two games, he has not been broken once by his opponent." A reporter asked.
"His serve is indeed very strong, and I won't underestimate him. But his ability to hold serve is not as strong as it looks. He has not yet met a strong opponent. Safin will retire this year. This game can't explain anything. "Djokovic said.
At this time, a reporter came over from Li Ba and asked: "Djokovic, the Hammer said you can't break him, is there anything you want to tell him?"
"He's so crazy. There's no one in this world that I can't break serve with," Djokovic snorted.
After dealing with the media, Li Ba took Yatou, Guoguo, and a group of friends to leave the No. 1 stadium.
There were still a large group of reporters following around, and the cameras kept clicking.
"Hey Hammer."
At this time, Federer ended the interview and took the initiative to come over with his wife to say hello.
Although he is a tennis superstar, in the entire sports world, he is still not as good as Li Ba, the cross-border double king. This can be reflected in the commercial value.
"Roger?"
Li Ba nodded, shook hands with Federer, greeted Federer's wife Milka, and then introduced Yatou, Guoguo, and Tyson.
Federer and Mirka greeted each other one by one.
After the greetings, Li Ba asked: "Roger, Milka, it's very late. Do you want to have dinner together? There are many of us together."
Federer and Federer nodded and smiled: "Then let's do it together."
At this time, Djokovic walked by and wanted to come over and say hello.
But to be honest, there is still a big gap between him and Federer and Li Ba.
He has only one Grand Slam title, Federer has fourteen, and he has no ATP finals title, while Federer has six.
It cannot be compared with a giant like Jordan who dominated the NBA for an era. Jordan's status in the basketball world is higher than Federer's status in the tennis world. He alone supports a world-class sports brand like Nike. It can be seen that he How high is the influence?
Li Ba, a double king who straddles two worlds, is simply incomparable. He has to climb to the top of tennis before he is qualified to be compared with Li Ba.
Every industry has its own circle. He has to win a few Grand Slams to be qualified to enter the top circle of the sports world, but he is only qualified. He is too young. If he wants to be at the same level as Federer and others, he must win at least a dozen Grand Slam titles.
"Hey, Djokovic."
Federer saw it and took the initiative to greet him.
"Hey, Roger."
Djokovic hurried over and greeted him with a smile.
"Iron Hammer, this is Djokovic, Novak Djokovic, who won the Australian Open last year." Federer took the initiative to introduce.
Li Ba nodded, that's all.
Djokovic dared to provoke Li Ba in front of the media, but he didn't dare to jump out in front of him. After greeting him, he stayed quietly aside and listened to these big guys talking.
Federer saw that Li Ba did not invite Djokovic to dinner, so he naturally didn't mention it.
Watching Li Ba and his party leave, Djokovic was a little embarrassed and his face was a little dark, but there was nothing he could do. His status was indeed too different from others. He could still talk in front of Federer, but in front of Li Ba, he couldn't even open his mouth if others didn't talk to him.
Let alone him, Nadal, who holds six Grand Slam titles, is not qualified to be on par with Federer in terms of status in the circle.
"Li Na still wants to slap Tiechui in the face after winning the Grand Slam. Look, Djokovic is not qualified to talk to Tiechui on his own initiative."
"In the future, Tiechui will get a Grand Slam title, not more, just one will be enough. He is definitely the world's number one in the sports world, spanning three realms."
"Find a chance to persuade Li Na in the future. I don't know why his personality is so extreme."
Peng Shuai and Yan Zhi followed Li Ba and whispered in a low voice.
