Chapter 19 Fiasco
"Snapped!"

This is Xia Yutong's serve.

At this time, An Sheng was very focused, and he didn't dare to slack off. It was because of the humiliating failure of the previous serve that made him feel ruthless, and wanted to save Xia Yutong's serve in this serve.

Because of this, he judged the ball's landing point in the first time, and quickly followed up with his feet, ready to receive the serve.

When the ball bounced off the ground, An Sheng immediately swung the racket in his hand, but the next moment, he was stunned.

"How could this be?"

"I have clearly judged the point where the ball will land, and I have done enough preparations to hit the ball. How could it be possible that I didn't even touch the ball?"

An Sheng was really surprised. Standing in place, looking back and forth at his racket and the tennis ball that had flown far away, it felt incredible.

"An Sheng, this is a side spin ball! After landing, the direction of the bouncing will change, you have to pay attention!"

An Ran reminded her again, finally letting An Sheng know what was going on.

Although An Sheng is still just a tennis novice, he has read a lot of information about tennis, and he still knows about side spin serves.

What's more, in his system's tennis technical attributes, there is a special classification attribute of "sidespin serve", and it is impossible for him not to notice it.

The so-called side spin serve, as the name suggests, is to make the ball spin sideways when serving.

The specific way of serving the ball is roughly to change the contact point between the racket and the ball from the front to the side, and through friction, the tennis ball will rotate horizontally.

In this way, when the ball hits the ground, due to the rotation of its horizontal side, the force of left and right deviation will be generated, thereby changing its original linear motion trajectory.

From its visual effect, it seems that after the ball touched the ground, it suddenly twisted and shifted to one side in the horizontal direction.

It is obvious that when your serving point is biased towards the sideline of the court, and the rotation effect is to make the ball also bias towards the outside of the court after landing, the threat of a side-spin serve will be greater. Therefore, a side-spin serve, It is also sometimes called an overspin serve.

Just like the ball Xia Yutong sent just now, it had a relatively strong external spin effect. It was because of this that An Sheng made a mistake in judgment and didn't even touch the ball.

However, the external spin serve is not without its weaknesses. The most prominent problem is that when you convert most of your power into the horizontal spin of the ball, your ball speed will naturally decrease.

Thinking of this, An Sheng felt a little relieved, and had corresponding countermeasures.

When Xia Yutong sent a ball again, in order to deal with her side spin, An Sheng deliberately shifted her position to the outside, so that after the ball was deflected, it could still fall within his hitting range.

But when the ball really landed, An Sheng was dumbfounded, because he suddenly realized that Xia Yutong's serve this time was not a side spin at all, but the most common flat shot.

As a result, the position he is now standing in is very embarrassing. If he stands still, Xia Yutong's ball will hit him directly.

In order to avoid such a situation from happening, and also to return the ball, An Sheng could only twist his body awkwardly and swing his racket with his body crooked before he could move his feet in time.

But in this hitting posture, his hitting effect can be imagined.

This time, he didn't let the ball land on the "sweet spot" of his racket, that is, within the effective hitting area of ​​the racket, but directly hit the frame. Naturally, it was impossible to return the ball successfully.

"Fuck!"

He was obviously "molested" by Xia Yutong, and he couldn't help but swear, which shows how angry he is now.

In the next game, An Sheng still didn't find a good way to deal with the changes in her serve. With his tennis knowledge, he couldn't tell whether Xia Yutong's serve was a flat hit or a side spin. , which led to him not knowing how to choose his position at all.

But even if he adopts a gambling-like position, and the bet is correct, it still doesn't have much effect.

Because Xia Yutong's next return will still use the method she used when receiving the serve before, that is, to return the ball forward, which will make her return the ball very fast, making An Sheng unable to deal with it, or Forced to miss the ball, or not even touch the ball.

Under such circumstances, An Sheng soon lost the second game with a duck egg.

Similarly, in the next few rounds, facing Xia Yutong, An Sheng was completely dizzy and unable to fight back, like a piece of fat on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

And such a situation already annoyed Ansheng very much, but what made him feel even more upset was that Lao Wang and the others on the sidelines would exclaim from time to time, which made him feel very harsh every time. Annoyance upon annoyance.

Of course, An Sheng wasn't targeting them. He just felt uncomfortable because he was not playing well and was irritable.

In this way, in less than half an hour, the entire game was over, and the score was an unbearable 6-0.

Moreover, after the entire game, An Sheng's total points probably did not exceed one palm, which was so miserable that it couldn't be worse.

It can also be seen from this that at present, there is a huge gap in strength between An Sheng and Xia Yutong.

"Ansheng, are you okay?"

Seeing An Sheng sitting downcast on the ground, An Ran ran over and asked with concern.

An Sheng smiled wryly and shook his head, but did not speak.

"Ansheng, there is no need for you to be depressed. You have to know that Tongtong has been learning tennis since she was a child. Now, she has been playing for more than ten years. It is normal for you to be unable to compete with her now."

"Sister, I see."

An Sheng stood up and looked at Xia Yutong who was walking slowly, but his determination became stronger in his heart. I will definitely train harder and try to defeat her in the shortest possible time!
Looking back, after experiencing this failure, An Sheng has a lot of questions to know, and he is very interested in Xia Yutong's "fast forward hitting" and "sidespin serve".

But when An Sheng proposed to learn these two skills from her, Xia Yutong did not agree.

"An Sheng, it's not that I don't want to teach you, but because these two techniques are probably not suitable for you. If you don't believe it, you can go back and check it out, and you will understand."

"In addition, I also think that in your current situation, the most important thing is to master the basic tennis skills first, rather than pursue these cool-looking skills."

Hearing this, An Sheng nodded seriously and realized that he was too anxious. Xia Yutong was right. For him, the most important thing now is to learn the most basic skills first, rather than aiming too high.
