Chapter 25 Challenge
Chapter 25 Challenge
Under Xia Yutong's suggestion, An Sheng was not in a hurry to train, but went to the tennis court alone. The main purpose was to watch others play and feel the atmosphere here.
And after a lap, An Sheng really felt a different atmosphere from the past. Although the students who played here were just their hobbies, the meaning of competition was very strong.
Among them, what impressed An Sheng the most and was also very interesting was their challenge rules.
He had only been at the edge of the field for half an hour and had already seen several challenges. Moreover, they were probably very concerned about rankings. During the challenge, both students were very serious and tried their best. , the fight was very intense.
In addition, in terms of strength, An Sheng can roughly feel that these people are quite strong, especially those students who can occupy the field, their strength is very strong.
Just like the occupant of the field in front of him, An Sheng has been watching for a long time, and he can clearly judge that if he goes to the field to compete with him, he will undoubtedly lose.
Whether it is strength, running, or tennis skills, he can see the obvious gap between himself and this classmate.
"How about it, An Sheng, do you want to go up and have a try?"
Hearing this, An Sheng turned his head to look, only to realize that at some point, Xia Yutong was already standing beside him.
When he heard her question, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded. If possible, he really wanted to go up and experience it for himself.
"Sister Tong, can I go up and challenge?"
"Of course. Although your situation is a bit special, since you already have a pass, you are considered a member of our tennis club and can naturally enjoy our rules. So, if you have the interest and courage, of course You can go up and challenge.”
"By the way, I would like to remind you that the student standing on the left side of the court in front of us is Wang Haozhe, who is ranked 51st on the strength list, and is currently the lowest ranked among the eight venues."
An Sheng nodded and continued to watch the game. When the match between the two on the field was over, he immediately ran towards Wang Haozhe.
"Hello senior, can I challenge you?"
Wang Haozhe was slightly taken aback, then laughed.
"Okay, but what, I also have a small request."
"any request?"
An Sheng is also strange, because he did not see in the rules that the challenged can still make demands.
"Your name is An Sheng, An Ran is your sister, right?"
"Correct."
"Ahem, can you give me your sister's mobile phone number?"
"Uh~ this..."
An Sheng was a little overwhelmed by this sudden request. He subconsciously looked at An Ran, who was playing ball with other girls on the court next to him. He hesitated and refused.
"Senior, my sister is right there, you can go over and ask her for it."
"Then forget it."
Wang Haozhe said pretending to be frustrated, but in fact he was just joking and had no other meaning.
And after this little episode, the game started soon.
As for the rules of the game, it is slightly different from the previous ones. It adopts a best-of-three game system. Other aspects are the same as regular games.
This is probably because there are too many challenges, and they have to reduce the number of rounds. Otherwise, as the challenged, I am afraid that they will not even have time to practice easily.
In the first game, An Sheng, the challenger, served first.
An Sheng was also unambiguous. Although he knew that there was a gap in strength between himself and the opponent, since he had already stood on the field, he had no intention of giving up. No matter what, he would try his best.
"Snapped!"
This is a strong outside corner serve, and the quality is very high. While the ball is fast, the angle is also very tricky, and it goes directly to the outside of the sideline.
If the receiver of this ball is Xia Yutong, it will probably be a beautiful ACE.
And Xia Yutong, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't help being a little surprised after seeing An Sheng's serve, because she found that An Sheng had improved again compared to before, and the placement of the serve was becoming more and more accurate. ,Stablize.
But his high-quality serve, to Wang Haozhe, can only be regarded as mediocre, the angle is okay, but the speed of the ball is not fast enough for him to make mistakes.
Sure enough, after Wang Haozhe chased him, he still caught the ball, and with his swing, the tennis ball drew a high-throwing line in the air.
Such an arc was obviously unusual, but An Sheng only felt that the opponent might have deliberately played such a high-arc parabola in order to buy time for himself to move.
After all, the angle of his serve was very large. Wang Haozhe's return position was already more than two meters away from the sideline. It would take a lot of time to run back to the center line.
Thinking of this, An Sheng felt that this should be an opportunity for him to attack, so he was preparing to hit the opponent's backhand corner with a strong blow.
But when he was about to swing the racket, he was shocked, because he found that the ball accelerated suddenly after it hit the ground, which made him unable to react in time.
Forced to do so, An Sheng could only speed up his swing, but the effect was not good. The ball hit the frame of the racket and sent the ball flying.
"It should be topspin."
After recovering, An Sheng realized the problem. The high arc shot by the opponent was actually a characteristic of topspin.
This kind of ball seems to be slow, but once it hits the ground, it will cause a sudden forward acceleration due to its rotation. If you can't prepare for hitting the ball in advance, you will be like An Sheng, and it will be too late to swing the racket.
And An Sheng also knows that topspin is probably the most used and most common type of spin ball in tennis, because it not only has good offensive power, but also helps players to better control The batting route and landing point can improve the quality and stability of the batting.
This point has a very obvious advantage when compared to flat hitting.
For this reason, many players will directly use topspin balls instead of flat shots to improve their baseline hitting abilities.
And An Sheng recalled the situation when the opponent was receiving the serve, and he discovered that Wang Haozhe was moving very fast.
In this way, he believed that his strong outside corner serve was basically no big threat to Wang Haozhe, so he made a change in his second serve and sent an inside corner.
Compared with serving from the outside corner, the flight distance and time of serving from the inside corner are shorter, and generally speaking, facing the serve from the inside corner, the opponent can only catch it with a backhand.
And An Sheng's change, the effect is not bad, Wang Haozhe's two-handed backhand technique, it seems, is not as sharp as his forehand.
I saw that his serve did not hit any angle, and the speed of the ball was not fast. It flew directly to the center line where An Sheng was.
Without hesitation, when faced with the opportunity, Ansheng immediately chose to hit hard. After knowing the weakness of the opponent's backhand, he hit his backhand again.
But then, An Sheng was surprised to see that Wang Haozhe, who was still using two-handed backhand just now, had turned into a one-handed backhand at this time.
Facing the incoming ball, he suddenly moved to the side and down, and then the tennis ball slowly flew towards An Sheng's half court. The speed of the ball was still not fast, but the arc was very low, almost rubbing against the top of the net belt. past.
And after the ball hit the ground, the height of the rebound was extremely low, almost only reaching the position of An Sheng's knee.
"Is this a chipping ball?"
An Sheng had a clear understanding, but faced with such an unfamiliar ball path, he really didn't know how to deal with it, and he had no time to think about it. He could only deal with it according to the hitting action he was used to.
But for the first time facing this kind of ball, he still didn't control the racket well, and the ball was hit back, but it flew too low and hit the net directly.
At this time, An Sheng was not actually depressed. Instead, he was very interested in Wang Haozhe. He wanted to know how many tennis skills the other party still possessed?
In the next game, Wang Haozhe did not disappoint An Sheng, and he seemed to intend to show An Sheng his ability, and played various tricks in the game.
Topspin, side spin, high ball, small ball, and interception in front of the net, he showed them all one by one. It was not too cool, and it also aroused the cheers of many students on the sidelines.
Facing Wang Haozhe with so many methods, An Sheng has no ability to resist. Although he is fighting hard for every ball, the result is very unsatisfactory. Except for Wang Haozhe's own mistakes and lost a few points, he has no ability to resist. Rely on his ability to get any point.
At the end of the game, there was no suspense. An Sheng scored a 0-2 game and reaped a complete defeat.
"How does it feel?"
"good."
After the game, facing Xia Yutong's inquiry, An Sheng was unwilling to show weakness.
"Hehe, is that right? Then what I want to tell you is that among these male players, Wang Haozhe's playing style is actually relatively soft, and his strength is also relatively weak. If you meet other opponents If not, I'm afraid you have no chance to connect the ball now."
"By the way, let me tell you one more thing. Chen Feiyang, whom you have met before, is much stronger than Wang Haozhe, especially his physical condition is very outstanding. Even if Wang Haozhe stands in front of him, it may not be a problem ability to resist."
"So what? I'll overtake them soon!"
Contrary to Xia Yutong's expectation, An Sheng was not hit. Instead, his belief became more and more firm. She didn't understand, where did his confidence come from?
