Chapter 274 Breakthrough
Participating in the Huaguo Open this time, An Shengzhen was like a "rookie". He encountered many situations for the first time and made some knowledgeable mistakes.

For example, judging the strength of other contestants. Before the competition, he obviously underestimated the strength of other contestants, but after he met Daniel Taro, he seemed to overestimate other opponents. In the second qualifying round , he defeated Cuevas relatively safely.

From this point of view, his opponent, at least in the qualifying round, seems to be not that strong, but is this really the case?
In fact, Ansheng has not yet realized that what he is currently experiencing is another stage of transition zone. In this stage, the composition of his players is relatively complicated.

An Sheng once experienced that the value of 60 points is the dividing point between amateur players and professional players. Then, it can be said that the value of 80 points is the bifurcation point between ordinary professional players and top professional players. point.

In other words, at this stage, the vast majority of professional players have reached a limit point. If you can cross the past, then you will also enter the ranks of top players, but this is obviously very difficult. It is not something ordinary people can do.

However, the players who can reach this stage, they have already reached this stage, so naturally they will not give up easily, but more people, limited by their exhausted talents, still cannot really cross the past, so, And there are characters like Daniel Taro.

Their own strength, in fact, is only at the peak of the 70th stage, and they have never been able to truly break through the limit, but through their efforts, whether it is thousands of repetitions or other unique methods, it is possible to enable them In some cases, it is possible to reach the level of 80 stages.

And An Sheng had already realized that this was an abnormal phenomenon, but he thought that players like Daniel should be rarely encountered, so he didn't understand it that deeply.

But now, in the third round of his qualifying round, An Sheng met such a strange player again, he was Kudla from the United States.

His current ATP ranking is as high as 59th. He is just a little short of it, and he can directly enter the main draw with his ranking. But a slight difference is a thousand miles, and he is just a little short, so he is still there. To struggle in qualifying.

Of course, each player's situation is different.

To put it more clearly, if they want to show their strength at the 80th stage, the conditions they need to achieve are different.

At the beginning of the game, An Sheng didn't notice Kudla's abnormality. He even felt that the opponent was just an ordinary player.

The only situation where there may be some signs is that this Kudela is quite strong in offense.

But this point, not only did not make An Sheng feel the crisis, but it made him feel that he had won this game. After all, he is very good at defense now, and as long as there is not too much difference in strength between the two sides, he can I feel very confident.

But when the game entered the third game of the first set, the situation suddenly changed.

"Oh!"

This is Kudla's serve. Its quality is good and the speed of the ball is fast, but Anson can still handle it. As long as he does not make his own mistakes, he can basically complete the return safely.

There was no accident in this ball, and both sides played normally in the serving and receiving link.

In the next shot, Kudla routinely launched an offensive and hit a flat forehand.

This kind of rhythm is normal, and An Sheng has already prepared for defense, but unexpectedly, Kudla's attack seems ordinary, but the threat it plays is actually It is very large, the angle is very sharp, and the landing point is almost pressed to the sideline.

In this regard, Ansheng was unexpected and failed to catch up, allowing Kudela to score a winning point.

But this is actually not a big deal. After all, it is the opponent's serve game, which has an advantage in itself. It is normal to play a few wonderful attacks occasionally.

But what was completely out of Anson's control was that in the next few shots, Kudla played better and better, and his offensive intensity continued to rise, and soon exceeded Anson's ability to bear.

At this moment, An Sheng suddenly realized that what he encountered was by no means an ordinary opponent, and his strength could reach this level.

And, unlike Daniel, when Kudela displays his strong offensive nature, the continuity of his state is much better. He has maintained this intensity almost from the previous attack.

There is no doubt that when Kudela shows his strength beyond the 70 stage, especially this kind of continuous high-intensity attack, Ansheng cannot resist it.

Because of this, he quickly fell into a passive situation, and even his own serve was difficult to preserve.

Fortunately, this is not the first time An Sheng has encountered such a situation, and under the influence of his spiritual attributes, his mind is still very clear.

He suddenly understood the key point. He knew that Kudla can only be regarded as a player at the 70th stage, but he is in full swing, which is why he has such an outstanding performance.

Then, in order to restore his decline, what An Sheng has to do is also very clear, that is, to contain Kudla's momentum as soon as possible, so as to force him to return to a normal state.

But this is easier said than done.

At the beginning, Anson tried to use a slower rhythm and more use of topspin and slice balls to restrain Kudla's offense, but the effect was obviously not good.

Turning his head around, An Sheng tried to use fighting counterattack again, using violence to control violence, to break Kudla's continuous offensive, but the effect was still not good.

By this time, the first set was over, and he lost without any suspense.

In this way, the time is already very tight. If he can't come up with effective means against Kudla, then this match will become his last match at the Huaguo Open.

Undoubtedly, An Sheng would never be reconciled to being eliminated. He didn't even participate in the main match. Can this still be regarded as participating in the Huaguo Open?

"Oh!"

The first game of the second set was also An Sheng's first serve.

Of course, Kudela is not a fool. Faced with Ansheng's high-quality serve, even if he is in good condition now, he will not take huge risks and choose to attack hard.

What's more, Kudla already knows Anson a little bit since the game, and knows that his offensiveness is not strong, so he will definitely have more suitable offensive opportunities in the future.

In this way, he naturally does not need to rush to attack, but just completes the reception smoothly.

But in the next shot, the situation changed again. An Sheng put a small ball rather abruptly.

This was really sudden, because An Sheng obviously had a good chance to attack now, but instead of attacking with force, he withdrew his force and hit a small ball in front of the net.

This change was obviously beyond Kudela's expectation. His reaction was half a beat too slow. By the time he started, it was already too late.

"Oh!"

There was no abnormality in the next ball, serve and return session for both sides, but in the next shot after that, Ansheng suddenly changed again.

But this time, he gave up the speed of the ball to maximize his control, and hit a small diagonal line with a sharp angle, which landed extremely close to the sideline.

However, Kudela finally learned the lesson from the previous ball, and his reaction this time was quite sharp. In addition, the ball speed was not very fast, so he finally caught up.

But somewhat unexpectedly, Kudla doesn't seem to be very proficient in handling such unconventional balls.

Just like this ball, after he arrived at the hitting position in time, logically speaking, the return of the ball would not be too big, and he could even take this opportunity to hit a very threatening counterattack.

But Kudla was a little confused, and picked the ball up, not only giving up this counterattack opportunity, but also leaving Anson with an excellent opportunity to attack.

Without hesitation, facing the high ball, An Sheng used a fierce high pressure to complete the winning point.

What surprised Anson even more was that he undoubtedly discovered Kudla's weakness. Obviously, his midfield skills are not very good.

Or maybe he wasn't used to Ansheng's hitting style of suddenly releasing small balls.

No matter what, Ansheng was sure that as long as he came a few more times, he would definitely be able to destroy Kudela's batting rhythm and the momentum he had accumulated before, without even having to succeed.

Next, Ansheng implemented his plan very resolutely, and the results were very gratifying. Kudela also lost his previous strength, and his offensive intensity also obviously declined.

More importantly, this can cause a chain reaction.

As its offensive intensity continued to decline, Ansheng's defense gradually improved, making it even more difficult for Kudela's offense to be effective.

This further damaged his game state, and ultimately forced him to return to his original state, making it difficult for him to reach his 80-stage strength.

As I said before, An Sheng will not be afraid of anyone when his hard power is equal. Whether it is the comprehensiveness of technology or the stability of performance, he has a clear advantage with the system.

The fact is also true, after Kudla returned to the original, the situation of the game began to be transferred to An Sheng's hands.

In particular, after going through the previous predicament, An Sheng is very consciously taking precautions, and will never let Kudla make a comeback.

As a result, in the second half of the game, An Sheng won two sets in a row and won the game in a thrilling manner. Thus, he successfully broke through the qualifying round and entered the main match of the Huaguo Open. .
