Chapter 217

He easily defeated Daniel and advanced to the semi-finals of this tournament, but An Sheng behaved calmly, but it wasn't that he was calm, but that he was really not excited enough.

In fact, since this event, An Sheng's game state has not been very good.

There are roughly two reasons for this, one is because of the departure of coach Sun Binghua, and the other is because of his concern about the bottleneck.

This caused his current state of mind to be unstable, even a little chaotic, so that he didn't have such a strong desire to win this competition.

Of course, when he actually came to the arena, he was still very serious, but he couldn't bring up his excitement.

In addition, after nearly a month of training, An Sheng's strength, or his attributes, have reached 69 points as expected.

Therefore, although his mentality and state are not the best, he still defeated his opponents all the way and advanced to the semi-finals.

By the way, after he won the quarter-finals, there were reporters who wanted to interview him again. Among them was Xue Meiling, a five-star sports reporter he was already familiar with, but An Sheng, who was in a bad mood, All rejected, without exception.

Anson's opponent in the semi-finals is Desaine from Belgium. His current ATP ranking is 283 and he is also the No. 5 seed in this tournament.

From the looks of it, Dessain should be slightly weaker than Daniel.

But in fact, An Sheng played very hard in this game, and was once behind.

In the first set, in the first few rounds, both sides kept their serve, but in the fifth round, An Sheng's third serve, was broken by Desaien.

The reason for this is actually very simple. An Sheng was restless and entered the game too slowly. On the other hand, Desaiyan, after going through the trials of the previous games, has already started to exert his strength.

After that, An Sheng was also awakened by the break of this round, and kept trying to mobilize the game state, but the effect was not good, and it was a bit tepid.

But Desaiyan played more and more smoothly, and his state was fully improved.

Because of this, An Sheng not only failed to regain the previous disadvantage, but became more and more passive, so that he lost another serve afterwards, thus losing the first set.

Now that the game has progressed, An Sheng is actually quite clear about his own situation, but the problem is that this game state cannot be mobilized if he wants to.

Naturally, his wish is to play well and show better strength, but his body doesn't follow his command that much.

Fortunately, An Sheng is no longer a rookie who doesn't understand anything. Facing difficulties, he is not as restless as before, and his mind is still clear.

And when he was sure that it was difficult for him to mobilize his competitive state in the game, his experience told him that he still had a chance to win the game.

The key is that he has to stabilize the situation, no matter how well the opponent is playing, at least he himself has to maintain the current level and play steadily.

Of course, in this way, the initiative to determine the outcome of the game lies in Desain's hands. It depends on whether he can maintain his previous good state and win the game in one fell swoop.

And in the second set, it can be seen that Desane was aware of the situation of the game.

He was roughly aware of An Sheng's strategy, and soon determined that An Sheng's performance was basically the same as the previous game, with little change.

In this way, he can also conclude that as long as he can perform at the level of the first set, then winning the match should not be a big problem.

Because of this, Dessain also did not adjust his tactics, but continued the style of play in the first set.

But it has been mentioned many times before that it is very difficult for a player to maintain a high level of excitement all the time. Even if Desain intends to do this, his body has instinctively adjusted, making his game The status has declined.

Correspondingly, when An Sheng stabilized his mentality and played more securely, his game state gradually improved as the game progressed.

But this advance and retreat is a process of transformation, and it is relatively slow.

There is no doubt that this process is the most dangerous stage that An Sheng needs to resist in this game.

Fortunately, in the second set, he always maintained a high degree of concentration, and relying on his stable serve, he never gave the opponent a chance to break serve.

In this way, he was allowed to pass through this dangerous period.

And when the score rose alternately and came to the second half of the second set, An Sheng had almost brought the situation back.

On the contrary, Dessain, seeing that he could not win the second set smoothly, his mentality may have experienced some fluctuations, which caused his performance to become a little unstable.

An Sheng just seized this opportunity, and when the game reached the No. 11 game, he successfully got a break, thus winning the second set with a score of 7-5.

And after equalizing the score, An Sheng let out a long sigh of relief, which is enough to see that at this moment, the pressure in his heart is not small.

However, he is really not so depressed now, or in other words, he no longer insists, and must mobilize a better game state.

Because he wanted to understand that although he possessed the system, he was still alone, so of course he couldn't maintain a very hot competitive state all the time.

What's more, relying on the system, he can at least show his basic strength in the game, and as long as he doesn't lose his mind, there will be no accidents.

Being able to do this, compared to other players, he is already very powerful.

This can be regarded as An Sheng's insights from this game.

In the third set, the initiative to determine the outcome of the game was still in Desain's hands, but he failed to grasp it well.

In fact, Dessain does not need to perform exceptionally well, as long as he can play at a normal level, then at least he can have the strength to compete with An Sheng, and the possibility of winning should be higher.

But as a result, as the game progressed, Desaiyan's game state became worse and worse. In the final stage, the level he showed was actually lower than his normal level.

His performance has once again confirmed An Sheng's thoughts. For ordinary players, being able to perform at a normal level in the game is already a commendable thing in itself.

Of course, since Desaiyan played abnormally, the result of the game lost suspense. With his stable performance, An Sheng won the game and successfully advanced to the final.
