Chapter 167 The Frog
The final has not yet started, but it has already cast a shadow over the mountains.

In the case of problems with both physical strength and mental attributes, An Sheng can be sure that this final will definitely not be easy.

What's more, An Sheng is now 100% sure that his opponent is extremely powerful, and he can even be said to be a "semi-professional player".

He is the tennis player Cui Senyong from South Korea. He is also the number one seed in this tournament. He is currently ranked 21st in the ITF Youth Ranking.

The reason why he is called a "semi-professional player" is because Cui Senyong has already started to participate in regular professional competitions.

To be more precise, he is now in a transitional period. He will not only participate in youth events, but also choose to participate in some adult professional events with suitable conditions.

Of course, he has not been able to achieve any results in professional events, otherwise, he should have entered the professional tennis world directly instead of continuing to participate in youth events.

But this is enough to show that his strength must be very strong.

By the way, this Cui Senyong is highly praised by the media in Korea. They believe that his future is limitless and he will definitely be able to enter the top ten in the world in the future.

Because of this, An Sheng was able to find a lot of information about him from the Internet.

No matter how Cui Senyong will be in the future, whether he can really enter the top ten in the world, An Sheng doesn't know, and will not make a statement, but for now, Cui Senyong is likely to be the one he meets in the official competition. strongest opponent.

At 8:[-] p.m., the final of the ITF International Tennis Federation Youth Tennis Tournament, Shencheng Station, officially started.

"Oh!"

Cui Senyong took the lead in serving. His physical condition is indeed very good and he has great strength.

Fortunately, Ansheng was fully prepared and successfully completed the hair extensions.

After that, both sides were very patient and both had the intention of testing their opponents, so they were not in a hurry to launch a fierce onslaught, but just engaged in a stalemate at the bottom line, forming a multi-shot.

From this, An Sheng can basically judge that his previous judgment is accurate. Cui Senyong's strength is indeed above him. According to his system attributes, his average strength is roughly 64 points.

Of course, this is only an average value roughly estimated by An Sheng. Cui Senyong's strength in all aspects cannot be exactly the same, and there will always be deviations.

After getting this information, An Sheng was the first to make a change, using his forehand to launch an attack and dispatch left and right.

But he soon discovered that Cui Senyong's running ability was very strong, his starting speed was very fast, and his defensive coverage was very wide. Simple left and right movements did not pose much of a threat to him.

On the contrary, he himself, in the back and forth, made an unforced error, returned the ball out of bounds, and gave the opponent a point.

In the next few balls, Cui Senyong slightly strengthened his attack. After all, this was his serve game and he could always get the initiative first.

However, his overall style of play has not changed. He uses the bottom line multi-shot confrontation method, using his running ability to entangle An Sheng until one of them makes a mistake, or finds a chance to win the shot.

Obviously, this is Cui Senyong's usual style of play, and it is also the game rhythm he is most familiar with.

The key thing is that at this pace of the game, Ansheng is at a disadvantage.

Although his forehand ability is still stronger than that of his opponent, the gap between the two sides is not too big. Unless he adopts a fighting method and plays a more threatening attack, otherwise, Cui Senyong can completely use his running ability. to make up for this gap.

In other aspects, he was generally at a disadvantage.

Although the gap is not very obvious, in the multi-shot confrontation, An Sheng still wins less and loses more.

There is no doubt that if the game is allowed to continue like this, then the loser must be An Sheng. Therefore, he must make changes.

Ansheng's idea is also very simple. Since he can still have some advantages on his forehand, then, as long as he has the opportunity, he should use his forehand more and play more powerful attacks to score more winning points. .

To be more clear, that is, he needs to play more actively to make the game faster, so as to break the opponent's bottom line multi-shot tactics.

But it was beyond An Sheng's expectation, and what made him feel very troublesome was that after he stepped up his offense and accelerated the pace of the game, Cui Senyong still stuck to the bottom line as always, and defended it very steadily.

In this way, An Sheng himself, because of his emphasis on offense, made more unforced errors, and lost a serve because of this, which also made the game's victory more inclined to his opponent. .

As for why Cui Senyong can still stick to his style of play in the face of An Sheng's changes?

The reason is very simple, because in previous games, he has not reached the limit of his ability, and he has the flexibility to cope with Ansheng's changes.

After that, An Sheng wanted to exert his strength several times to win a break, but he still couldn't do so. Thus, he lost the first set with a score of 4 to 6.

During the halftime break, An Sheng had been thinking about how to break Cui Senyong's tactics?Because it is obvious that if he cannot do this, then there will be no suspense about the outcome of this game.

No matter what, he can't continue at this pace!
But what method should be used?

It has to be said that Cui Senyong is worthy of being a player who has played in professional tournaments. His style of play is very mature and simple, and there are almost no loopholes.

It's like a pot of warm water that is constantly being heated, and Ansheng is the frog that fell into the pot.

The only difference is that he knows that he is in hot water, if he can't jump out of this iron pot in time, he will be boiled sooner or later.

It must also be said that An Sheng was very calm during this game, and even though he knew he was in danger, he did not appear irritable or restless.

And under such circumstances, he did find some small weaknesses of the opponent.

For example, Cui Senyong's first serve is not very stable. Therefore, he can use a more active return method to put more pressure on the opponent, thus causing the opponent to make mistakes.

For another example, Cui Senyong's backhand ability is relatively weak, and he can target more.

It's a pity that An Sheng still had too few weapons in his hands, and his physical strength also had problems, which made him think of a way, but he was unable to execute it, which caused more mistakes of his own.

In addition, in the face of An Sheng's changes, Cui Senyong has always maintained a stable rhythm and was not disturbed by An Sheng.

This is probably the ability that he gained after participating in professional competitions.

In the end, Ansheng failed to make a comeback and lost the final with some regret.

However, after the game, his mood was not bad, and he was not affected too much. He felt that he had tried his best, and gained a lot of experience and growth from this event.

So, there was nothing he couldn't accept as a result.
