Chapter 22 The Final Showdown
"An Sheng, you seem very calm today. Why, do you think your strength is enough to defeat me?"

Xia Yutong seemed to feel the momentum from An Sheng, but she didn't think that he could defeat her with his current ability. Although she also knew that he had made great progress in the past week, it was still not enough .

At this time, An Sheng was indeed different from before. Not only did he not have the nervousness before the game, but he was smiling, very confident and calm.

"Sister Tong, you'll find out later."

"Hehe, I'm waiting!"

As she said this sentence, the atmosphere between the two changed instantly, becoming tit-for-tat and tense, and temporarily put aside other relationships and became rivals in the field.

The rules of the game remain the same, so there is no need to repeat them.

Standing at the tee point, An Sheng half-raised his left hand holding the ball to signal Xia Yutong on the opposite side to get ready, and then he patted the ball on the ground twice without haste.

This move has gradually become his habit, and it is not because he is aimless, because it can help him adjust his exhalation and relax his body so that he can better complete the serve.

After casting a glance to confirm that Xia Yutong was ready, An Sheng focused his attention on the ball, then sent it up, and the racket was swung out in one go.

"Snapped!"

The tennis ball races to the opposite half.

An Sheng kept his eyes on the ball, but the movement of his feet did not stop. He first used a small step to offset the forward inertia caused by the serve action, and then immediately started to move to the center line position and is ready for the next launch.

From this point, it can be seen that An Sheng has indeed grown a lot, and it can also be explained that Xia Yutong, the "coach", is relatively qualified and has taught An Sheng a lot.

Otherwise, if An Sheng is allowed to practice by himself, it will be difficult for him to understand these details, and they will basically not be recorded in general teaching materials.

On the other side, the experienced Xia Yutong had already judged the route and landing point of the ball the moment An Sheng delivered the ball, but she did not relax, instead she was surprised.

"He actually managed to send an outside serve!"

This really surprised her, because during practice this morning, An Sheng Kedu was still very unstable, and the probability of successfully sending the outside ball was very low.

Before she had time to think about it, Xia Yutong immediately moved her footsteps and ran to the outside of the sideline. She had no choice but to face such an outside serve, coupled with An Sheng's ball speed, it was impossible for her to return the serve by hitting the ball forward.

"Ok!"

While swinging the racket, Xia Yutong hummed unconsciously, because she practiced with An Sheng every day, of course she knew the power of An Sheng's current serve. If she wanted to give high-quality returns, she must Do your best.

"It's done!"

After hitting the ball, the feeling from his hands let Xia Yutong know that the return was successful.

The fact is also the same. Her serve return was of high quality and fast. At the same time, it flew directly to the corner of An Sheng's backhand.

And when she saw the route she used to return the ball, Xia Yutong was overjoyed. In the previous game, she used this route to score a lot of points against An Sheng. Basically, with An Sheng's moving speed, it was Can't catch up with this kind of wide-angle return.

But in an instant, she was stunned for a moment, because she was shocked to find that this time, An Sheng actually received her return ball, and it hit her backhand corner directly.

"Impossible, how did his movement speed become so fast?"

"Also, even if his pace is fast enough, why has his return shot become so sharp?"

Xia Yutong was shocked, and even more incomprehensible, why An Sheng suddenly improved so much.

The reason is of course very simple, because after seven days of hard work, An Sheng finally activated the "point control" of the serve and the "point control" attributes of the forehand and backhand during the training this morning.

In addition, he also successfully activated the "step" in tennis technology, which greatly improved the movement speed of his feet.

Coupled with the continuous improvement of his physical fitness, this made his strength suddenly rise to a big level.

By the way, I need to explain that An Sheng has always been very strange about the activation of "Falling Point Control", because he originally thought that it should not be difficult to activate it just like other technologies, but in fact, it It took him a lot of time.

The key reason, which An Sheng has now basically figured out, is that "point control" is not an independent attribute.

For example, under the "drop point control" under the serve attribute, you have to raise the "serve" attribute to a certain level before you have the opportunity to activate the "drop point control".

It is precisely because of this that An Sheng did not complete its activation until today, and it was a "coincidence" that they all happened on the same day.

The activation of these attributes is why Ansheng is so calm, calm and confident today.

Back in the game, after An Sheng scored this point, he was not too excited. He just clenched his fist symbolically, and then returned to the serving point quite calmly.

But Xia Yutong's heart was not very peaceful. She wanted to ask him a lot of questions, but the game was still going on, and she didn't want to stop it.

As for the second ball, An Sheng's shot was still from the outside corner, and it was as steady as before.

There was no other way, Xia Yutong could only continue to use the normal hair extension method, but she, who was experienced, responded immediately.

This time, she did not hit An Sheng's backhand like before, but routinely controlled the route of the ball to his forehand, and pressed the landing point as deep as possible.

However, up to now, her speed of returning the ball and the speed of the ball are not fast enough in An Sheng's eyes.

After all, she is just a girl. Although she often plays tennis, it is just her hobby. She has not specially trained her body for this. Therefore, her physical fitness is better than ordinary girls, and compared to men. Speaking of it, it's still a bit worse.

And An Sheng's speed and pace allowed him to quickly run to the best hitting position after judging the landing point. It was his early arrival that made him fully prepared for his counterattack. He used the first straight line attack in the game.

The ball was fast and flew directly to the bottom corner of the sideline.

Xia Yutong tried hard to chase back, but it was too late, and An Sheng also scored another point for this.

On the next third ball, An Sheng sent another high-quality serve from the outside corner, which made Xia Yutong helpless. Even if he succeeded in receiving the serve, she would not be able to catch up with his next attack.

And when the game came to the point of the game, Xia Yutong decided to take a gamble. Her idea was simple. Since you have been serving from the outside corner consecutively, then I bet that you will continue to serve from the outside corner.

Therefore, when she saw An Sheng toss the ball, she immediately ran to the sideline, ready to attack.

But for a moment, she could only shake her head and smile wryly, because An Sheng's serve this time was actually an inside corner serve, and it succeeded.

In this way, Xia Yutong naturally had no way to successfully receive the serve. After the center of gravity changed, it was impossible to start it again. He could only watch the tennis ball bounce off the ground and fly out of the bottom line. This also allowed An Sheng to get the first place in the game. An ACE!

"Whoo~"

"Don't panic, it's normal to lose on his serve."

Xia Yutong tried to adjust her mentality, and her thinking was correct, because in professional tennis matches, the side that serves always has a great advantage.

But having said that, in low-level amateur games, serving does not necessarily have an advantage. The most obvious example is his sister An Ran. When she can't learn to serve normally, it is her disadvantage to let her serve. Or even give points directly.

Of course, Xia Yutong is not that good, and she has enough serving skills after playing for a long time, so she is still very confident in her serve.

And for her first serve, she used the outside corner shot that she is best at.

It can be seen that the quality of her serve this time is still very good, and the angle is very tricky. Coupled with her side spin, the flight path of the ball after landing has been greatly deflected.

However, as mentioned before, her side serve has a very obvious weakness, that is, the speed of the ball is too slow.

Under such circumstances, as long as she can be familiar with her ball path and accurately judge the ball's landing point and refraction route, then the power of her serve will be greatly reduced.

And in the previous game, the reason why An Sheng took a lot of tricks was because he was not familiar with her serve, and he couldn't accurately judge whether she was using a flat shot or a side spin ball, which made him unable to accurately How to choose the batting position, not to mention how to successfully receive the serve.

But this time, An Sheng judged early that what she sent was the outside corner, and, in the case of her slow ball speed, she completed the position selection one step earlier.

After the ball bounced off the ground, he swung his racket vigorously without hesitation.

With a crisp sound of "snap", the incoming ball hit her forehand baseline at a faster speed.

At this time, Xia Yutong had just finished serving and was adjusting her position. In addition, An Sheng's ball was so fast that she didn't even fully react, and the ball flew out of the baseline.

As for why An Sheng was able to make an accurate judgment, besides the fact that he has gradually become familiar with her serving method, the most important thing is, of course, that he has activated the "prejudgment" attribute in the spiritual attribute.

Moreover, as early as a few days ago, he had already activated the "prediction", which has significantly improved his judgment on the ball path and landing point.

Coupled with his pace and moving speed at this time, it also made him seem to be able to handle Xia Yutong's serve with ease.

And this ball was really a big blow to Xia Yutong, because before this, she "hit the ball forward", which was already resolved by An Sheng, and now, even her other "stunt", The side spin serve was also perfectly suppressed by him, how could this not make her flustered?
That is to say, from this goal, An Sheng directly controlled the entire game, and persisted until the end, winning the duel with a big score.

"An Sheng, I have to admit that I did underestimate you before, but I still feel that your goal of becoming a professional tennis player is too ethereal and unrealistic."

Hearing what Xia Yutong said to him, An Sheng didn't care, he didn't need to prove anything to her, he just wanted to prove to himself, I have this ability, I can do it!
