Chapter 251 "Miracle"

"Ann, great opportunity!"

"What good opportunity?"

At this time, An Sheng was receiving Feng Enhao's full body massage to relieve physical fatigue. Seeing Fortes walking over with an excited face, he felt a little baffled.

"An, this final is a good opportunity for you to become famous. If those news reports are not fabricated, once you win the championship in this final, then you can make history and become one of the most famous male tennis players in China. The first player to win a championship at this level, and also the highest-level singles champion so far!”

When Fortes was speaking this passage, he was very excited and cadenced, as if he was giving a speech.

It can be easily seen that Fortes wants to use this to motivate An Sheng, so that he will have more motivation to move forward in the upcoming finals.

But in fact, what he said surprised An Sheng and Feng Enhao who was present.

This is probably one of the differences between Eastern and Western cultures.

Generally speaking, in China, at such a critical moment, coaches will try their best to reduce the pressure on the athletes and let them relax.

Just like the news just now, even if they knew it very well in their hearts and wanted to say it very much, but before the end of the game, even if they were suffocated, they would definitely not say it.

Obviously, Western coaches will not do this. This is clearly reflected in Fortes' actions.

As for its function, or the impact on remote mobilization, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it cannot be generalized.

But as far as this incident is concerned, the fact that Fords told Ansheng the news did not have much motivating effect on him.

For one thing, Anson didn't pay much attention to this so-called "making history".

In his opinion, this is just a 50K level challenge. Even if he has achieved this achievement, there is nothing to show off. Even, he still feels a little uncomfortable. After all, this so-called "history" , a little too shabby.

Secondly, for this final, An Sheng's determination has already been very firm. He will definitely do his best and will not let himself have any regrets.

Finally, and the most crucial point, An Sheng is very objective and rational about this final, and he believes that his chance of winning is not great.

This is not to say that he has no fighting spirit. In fact, his fighting spirit is very strong. However, his opponent is so powerful that there is not much suspense about the outcome.

It's just that many people can't help but hope that a miracle will happen.

And Anson's opponent in the final is Bospilly from Canada. His current ATP ranking is as high as 82nd, and he is also the number one seed in this tournament.

The most important thing is that from his previous games, he can easily feel that he is currently at the peak of his state.

In this way, Pospili has no flaws either in terms of hard power or in terms of game status.

What's more, Bospilly himself is still a player who is relatively good at clay courts. He adopts an all-round bottom line style of play and is very good at using rotation.

It can be said that the current Bospilly is very "champion-like".

As far as An Sheng is concerned, he actually doesn't believe in miracles. In other words, the miracles he understands are based on his own strength.

In other words, An Sheng believes that in this game, only when he can form an effective confrontation with Pospilly instead of a one-sided situation, this miracle can happen, and he has a little chance. Go for the championship.

At 7pm that day, the finals officially started.

As soon as the two sides fought, An Sheng screamed "Oops" in his heart, because, as far as he felt at the moment, there was already an insurmountable gap in strength between him and Bospiri.

Facing the opponent's serve, it was already difficult for Ansheng to complete the return. Even if he could get lucky and the quality of his return was good, he would not be able to resist in the subsequent defense.

Even, when Bospilly deliberately slowed down the offensive in order to be on the safe side, it was difficult for An Sheng to form a stalemate with him.

But when the right to serve was in Ansheng's hands, he was unable to pose a sufficient threat to Pospili. As for the follow-up, there was no way to talk about it.

In short, Bospilly and An Sheng are not at the same level at all. The former has already reached the peak of the 70th stage, while the latter has just started from the 70th stage.

The difference is very big, even if it is on the clay court, even if An Sheng adopts defensive tactics, even if his current state is at its peak, it cannot change this fact.

Of course, at this time, Ansheng still had luck in his heart, hoping that Pospili would have some fluctuations in his state during the game, or that his mentality would be too relaxed, allowing him to find opportunities.

But such a situation did not happen, and soon, Pospili easily won the first set.

But until this moment, An Sheng finally had to admit that he had no hope.

However, he did not give up the game, because he still had another concern in his heart.

"Although I won't be able to win the championship, even so, I have to fight to the end!"

"I can't let down the fans who support me, let alone my parents and friends, at least, I want them to see my hard work!"

And this change in mentality, although it can't make any changes in An Sheng's strength, it has changed his style of play.

Just like this ball.

"Oh!"

From An Sheng's serve, it can be clearly seen that his serve is very hard, but it still doesn't give him much advantage. Pospilly's ability to receive serve is enough for him to deal with the upper limit of An Sheng's serve.

But in order to remain safe, and Pospili had already judged that even if he slowed down the offensive rhythm slightly, Ansheng would be difficult to deal with, so his return was relatively conservative.

In the face of Bospilly's safe return, An Sheng really didn't get a good chance to attack, but at this moment, he didn't have any scruples, and he directly launched the attack when his position was not particularly in place. Violent storm.

This time, it was somewhat beyond Bospili's expectations, but his strength still allowed him to save the ball.

But the next moment, he was powerless, because An Sheng had already taken a big risk, rushed to the net, and successfully completed the volley.

"Nice!"

An Sheng didn't suppress his excitement and let out a roar.

Of course, the successful scoring this time was a fluke. In this process, his risk of failure is very high. If he is not careful, he will make mistakes.

An Sheng naturally knew this, and even more so, he might not succeed in trying such a ball ten times in the future.

But he still did it. This can be said to be a little willful on his part. He felt that since the game was already lost, he had to give the opponent some color and beat him with a few beautiful balls.

It's a pity that, just as he himself expected, the probability of success for such a beautiful win is really very small, and it can only be achieved when he has the right to serve.

An Sheng quickly realized this, and turned to Bospilly's serve, changing his strategy, and it was a bit extreme.

For example, with this ball, under the high-quality serve of Bospilly, An Sheng's return was very average, and he immediately fell into a passive position.

Naturally, Pospilly did not hesitate. After serving and receiving, he launched his offensive, and his first attack was very threatening.

If it was before, An Sheng could only chase desperately, and try to make his return a little higher in quality, so as to weaken Pospilly's next attack.

But now, I saw that An Sheng actually returned a high ball, and after completing a mountain-like curve, he slowly landed in the opponent's half.

And such a return, in fact, An Sheng is equivalent to giving up the chance to score, because he is no longer an effective defense, and his return does not pose the slightest threat to Pospilly, of course he will not Mistakes happen for no reason.

However, correspondingly, An Sheng can get two benefits from it.

One is to use the time the ball is flying in the air, so that he can reset it more calmly.

The other is that in the face of his high ball, Ansheng is already ready to defend. Pospili is really not that easy to attack, and it is not that easy to finish.

In other words, after An Sheng almost gave up the chance to score, he dragged the game into a very ugly situation.

Moreover, at this time, Bospiri could only be patient and talk to An Sheng slowly, otherwise, because of his impatience, he might capsize in the gutter.

And under such circumstances, the second set was played very strangely, but the trend of the game, of course, did not deflect.

Unknowingly, Pospili had already reached the point where he could serve to win the set. That is, as long as he could keep serve in this round, he would be able to win the game and win the championship.

At this moment, almost everyone, including An Sheng himself, felt that he had no hope of winning.

However, in this "last game", it was useless to save any physical strength anyway. An Sheng let go of his hands and feet, and he could fight as he wanted, just as he wanted!

"Oh!"

The quality of Pospilly's serve is quite good, and the speed of the ball is too fast, but at this time, An Sheng is not afraid at all, and is somewhat "self-defeating" and adopts a strong return attack.

"Ok!"

Because his body was exerting too much force, An Sheng couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

Unexpectedly, he succeeded, and saw that the tennis ball bounced back at an extremely fast speed, and its flying angle was close to the bottom corner of Pospilly's backhand.

This time, it was too unexpected and too fast.

Subconsciously, Pospili rushed out and tried to save the ball.

But in fact, he didn't need to do this at all, because obviously, the probability of An Sheng being able to complete such a high-quality return is quite low.

Besides, even if An Sheng got this point, it would not help the result of this game.

But out of instinct, Pospilly still chose to save the ball, but the ball was too fast, and when it was approaching, he felt that he was a little too late.

Therefore, he suddenly took a step forward, trying to use a "sliding step" to bridge the distance between him and the tennis ball.

"Oh!"

He received it, it was extremely extreme, and even his whole body was in a twisted state!
Moreover, his save this time was really beautiful, hitting a strong diagonal spin.

An Sheng was also dumbfounded by this, standing where he was, watching the tennis ball fly out of bounds after it hit the ground.

"Whoo~"

An Chang exhaled a long breath. After seeing this beautiful extreme save, he felt that he should be convinced of the defeat.

"Om~"

But at this moment, An Sheng suddenly heard the chatter of the audience, which made him realize what might have happened on the field, and then turned his head to look across.

At this sight, he was a little dazed, because he saw that Bospilly, who had just made such a wonderful save, hadn't got up yet, but fell to the ground with a face of pain.

Then, a medical staff carrying a medical kit quickly ran towards Bospili.

Not surprisingly, Pospili requested a medical timeout.

Ten minutes later, the game restarted, but An Sheng clearly saw that Pospili's face was a little abnormal, as if he was holding back the pain.

"It seems that he was seriously injured at that moment, but now that he is in sight of victory, he probably won't give up easily." An Sheng thought.

"Oh!"

Bospilly served again, and this time, the quality was still very good, but Anson finally managed to complete the return.

Originally, facing Ansheng's low-quality serve, Pospili would have rushed forward without hesitation, and then launched a fierce attack on Ansheng.

But now, Bospili only took two steps, and then fell to the ground again, his face full of pain.

Just like that, a "miracle" happened.
