Chapter 276
October 10, Bullard Field.

At close to 4 o'clock in the afternoon, An Sheng ushered in his first race, and his opponent was Lopez from Spain.

Lopez, 32 years old, is 1 meters tall and weighs 88 kilograms. His current ATP ranking is 82st.

It can be said that Anson's signing luck this time is still good. He met Lopez, who is relatively low in ranking, but in fact, he knows that there is not much difference. As long as Lopez can perform stably, then he Just can't win.

In particular, Lopez is still a veteran. His rich game experience is enough to be his protective film, which can ensure his victory when facing weaker opponents.

In addition, according to Anson's understanding, this Lopez is a typical European player, tall and powerful, and his footwork is not lacking in flexibility. His forehand is strong and his backhand is steady.

Therefore, Lopez has almost no loopholes, and Anson does not know how to deal with it.

When the game officially started, An Sheng was very pleasantly surprised, because he found that Lopez's game state was not very good.

"Oh!"

Lopez took the lead in serving, which was very powerful and very fast. However, he was not a good player because his serve angle was not high enough and his first-serve success rate was not high.

Under such circumstances, An Sheng completed the hair extension normally.

Immediately afterwards, Lopez's next attack was obviously a little soft, and it hit Ansheng's backhand.

Seeing this, An Sheng's eyes lit up, and then he suddenly started. Because of his eagerness, he even adopted the way of hitting the ball forward, and hit a backhand counterattack more quickly.

This ball, An Sheng played very fiercely, just wanted to win with one blow, and he did it, not only the speed of the ball was extremely fast, but also the angle was very tricky.

In addition, Lopez is indeed still a little out of the game state, and even his reaction is a little slower by half a beat. By the time he reacts, it is already too late.

In the next few shots, Lopez still failed to release his energy. Whether it was serving or returning the ball, it seemed a little soft.

In this way, how could An Sheng miss such a good opportunity, he was extremely decisive and took a more fierce counterattack.

That is to say, under such circumstances, An Sheng broke serve in the first round of the game!
This is incredible!It was also a situation that An Sheng had never expected before the game.

And after winning this round of break serve, there is no doubt that this aroused An Sheng's desire to win, and his fighting spirit returned to him again, and it came even more violently.

But in the next round, probably because of some stimulation, Lopez finally came back to his senses and gradually began to show his true strength.

There is no suspense that Lopez's strength has really reached the 80 stage, not the "false 80" like Daniel and Kudla.

From this, it is also conceivable that the situation of the game quickly changed.

However, the victory in the first game has aroused An Ding's fighting spirit. He believes that he has a chance to win the game, so of course he will not give up easily.

In the next game, although An Sheng played very hard, the gap in strength was still the most critical factor in dominating the game, which also prevented him from achieving much results, and the game was still in the hands of Lopez.

An hour later, the first game ended, and An Sheng lost 4-6.

At this time, Ansheng had actually used all his methods and tried his best. It could be said that he had reached a desperate situation.

"Do I really have no chance?" An Sheng couldn't help himself and began to doubt himself.

But the good thing is that he is now in a desperate situation, and since it is a desperate situation, then he naturally has no scruples, and he can try any means he should have or should not have.

"Oh!"

In the first game of the second set, Anson served first, and then Lopez received the serve smoothly.

Immediately afterwards, Ansheng took advantage of the slight advantage brought by the serve and tried an attack, but it did not achieve very good results, and was even counterattacked by Lopez.

And so far, the two sides have played fairly well, and are fighting according to their respective strengths.

But on the next shot, the situation changed. An Sheng was very abrupt and hit a topspin ball with a high arc but a relatively slow speed.

It's really strange, logically speaking, facing this kind of ball, Lopez should be able to easily seize the opportunity and play a strong offense.

But in fact, Lopez's return this time seemed a bit hasty, and he didn't play the offensive threat he should have.

On the next shot, An Sheng suddenly exerted force and hit a back kick.

This seemed to be beyond Lopez's expectations, and once again destroyed his batting rhythm, thus reducing the power of his return to a large extent.

It was at this time that An Sheng used his backhand to force a counterattack.

On the surface, Ansheng's counterattack was not of that high quality, but unexpectedly, it allowed him to score a winning goal.

"Nice!"

An Sheng's eyes were full of joy. He never expected that this trick would actually work.

The key to this situation is that An Sheng's mental attributes have reached the 80th stage, which makes him no worse than Lopez in terms of prediction and timing.

Even, judging from the performance just now, he is stronger than Lopez in the ability to predict and grasp the timing.

It is also for this reason that Anson can always judge Lopez's intentions in advance and carry out targeted sabotage.

Whenever Lopez wanted to launch an attack, Ansheng deliberately slowed down the tempo in order to delay and prevent the opponent from taking advantage. However, when Lopez wanted to slow down the tempo and make adjustments, Ansheng failed. Suddenly exerted force.

This led to the fact that even though An Sheng's counterattack did not seem to be a big threat, it could achieve miraculous results.

And An Sheng's style of play is undoubtedly imitating Lu Yanxun, and his mental attributes, or in terms of anticipation, timing, and nervous response, are stronger than Lu Yanxun.

Therefore, even if An Sheng's current game experience is a little lacking, he can still adopt this style of play, and it seems that the effect is very good.

The current situation is that An Sheng has nowhere to go anyway. Since this style of play can be effective, then of course he will continue to implement it, and it will intensify.

"Oh!"

For the next ball, both sides completed the serving and receiving normally.

Immediately, Anson started his targeting again. After he judged that Lopez had the intention to counterattack in the next shot, he hit a high-arc topspin ball again. The point is deep.

Sure enough, even though it was because of An Sheng's targeting that his chances of counterattack were not very good, Lopez still insisted on his idea and used his forehand to forcefully launch a counterattack.

And An Sheng had already anticipated his plan, so he naturally made preparations in advance. He met the incoming ball and skillfully hit a rebound.

It is precisely because he relied on Lopez's hitting power and did not need his own strength, so that his shot was very controlled.

The line is short and sharp, the speed of the ball is not slow, and it hits the neutral position of Lopez's position.

The combination of all these factors led to Lopez not having time to catch up and allowing Anson to score a winning point again.

"Haha, Nice!"

An Sheng was extremely excited and shouted again and again.

In the subsequent games, An Sheng not only brought this targeted play to the fullest, but also added some ideas of his own, making his returns more variable and less threatening. bigger.

It has to be said that this style of play is actually the use of all of Ansheng's techniques.

You must know that An Sheng, who has a system, has extremely comprehensive skills. Therefore, the most suitable style of play for him should be an all-around style of play.

At the time, coach Fortes clearly mentioned this point. It was only because An Sheng needed time to adapt to his technical improvement at that time, so he chose a more secure and more suitable defensive counterattack style of play for his situation at the time. .

However, the so-called "bottom-line all-round play" is just a very general concept. How to play in order to bring out Anson's characteristics. Whether it is Anson himself or Fortes, it is not so clear yet. know.

But now, An Sheng seems to have found a direction.

On the basis of his use of the bottom line all-round style of play, he can use his anticipation and timing skills, coupled with his all-around skills beyond ordinary people, to target his opponents and disrupt their batting rhythm, thus Find the opportunity to counterattack and win with one blow.

Moreover, under the condition that his technique has no flaws and is extremely versatile, he can target any opponent, no matter what type the opponent is or what tactics he uses, it is the same.

Of course, this is easy to say, but An Sheng, as well as his coach Fortes, still have a lot to do if they want to turn this idea into a mature technique and tactic.

What's more, An Sheng, who was really in the game, didn't have time to think so much. Now, he just wanted to beat Lopez.

Fortunately, in this game, Lopez's competitive state is really not very good. This can be roughly seen from his performance at the beginning of the game.

Therefore, in the face of An Sheng's targeted play, Lopez actually saw that he also had a way to crack it, but he was powerless and unable to do it.

In fact, in the face of this targeted style of play, the solution is very simple. As long as you can play a more effective and threatening attack, you can force the opponent to spend more energy on defense. , but is unable to play such a strong control.

In the end, An Sheng relied on his immature style of play to win the next two sets, and then successfully advanced to the second round of the Huaguo Open.

This was really an unexpected surprise for An Sheng.
