Chapter 278 Another Counterattack
Faced with Johansen's high-intensity serve, An Sheng was helpless, and therefore, if he wanted to win the game, he had to keep his serve.

But can he do it?

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

"Oh!"

Compared with Johnson's serve, An Sheng is naturally inferior in terms of ball speed, but in terms of stability, he is much stronger. The key is that he also has angles and landing points.

An Sheng understands that facing an opponent like Johnson, he must serve at a sufficient angle so that he can gain some advantages.

Sure enough, even though An Sheng's serve was already of high quality and the angle was very good, Johansen still chose a very aggressive return.

Why did he do this?
This point, as An Sheng who has used offensive tactics, is very clear, that is, when he can guarantee that he does not lose his serve, he can completely play more fiercely in the opponent's serve .

In this way, even if there will be a lot of mistakes due to this, once luck comes and he hits a strong return effect in a row, then he can get a chance to break serve.

What's more, when you play so fiercely, you can still exert a lot of pressure on your opponent, which will also force the opponent to improve the quality of the serve, thus causing more mistakes.

This is the advantage of this style of play.

Of course, the current situation is still slightly different, because Johansen's strength is obviously superior, so his return success rate will be higher, and naturally, the probability of breaking serve will also be greater.

However, An Sheng had expected this a long time ago, and he also predicted in advance from Johansen's actions that the opponent would take a strong attack.

Therefore, facing Johnson's strong return, An Sheng was prepared, and he did not intend to defend against it, but to counterattack directly.

At this beat, facing Johnson's return, An Sheng used his forehand to forcibly attack the opponent's backhand.

But because of his weak strength, An Sheng's counterattack was a bit reluctant, but he succeeded anyway, and it seemed that he hit Johnson's weakness, and thus scored a winning point.

And the next ball, the pattern of the process is almost the same.

Anson maintained his high-quality serve, and then Johnson played an offensive return.

But in the next shot, Ansheng still chose to counterattack directly and scored directly.

Of course, this shot is slightly different. In the previous shot, An Sheng forcibly attacked the opponent's backhand, but this shot, he unexpectedly put a small ball in front of the net.

In the next few balls, An Sheng used this style of play, and it achieved very good results, which also allowed him to save the first serve.

This seems a bit strange, but An Sheng's approach is obviously correct. The root cause is still the comparison of the strengths of the two sides.

An Sheng, who is himself on the weak side, has an advantage in a very short period of time, and only the shot after serving will have a slight advantage.

If he doesn't seize this opportunity, then, in the next game, Johnson will definitely not give him a better chance.

In addition, it is precisely because Johnson uses a very aggressive receiving method, which leads to the fact that he may have a defensive loophole in the next shot. Even if he does not, it is because he is in this ball. The weakest moment.

After all, An Sheng's serve still poses some threats to him, so if he wants to play offensively, he must sacrifice some other things, such as stance, or reset time, and so on.

And An Sheng himself is quite aware of the flaws of this style of play, so he is very decisive, choosing to force an attack on the first shot after serving and receiving.

This is his only chance, and he must seize it.

In addition, there is another point, or a truth, which An Sheng also thought of, that is, as a weak person, you must ask for change.

If the game is played according to the conventional style of play, then, as a weak person, he will undoubtedly lose, and only by actively seeking changes can he have a slight chance to win the game.

Therefore, An Sheng's offense in this shot can be described as varied. Except for the positioning loopholes against Johnson, he played unconventional offensive lines, such as putting a small ball, or a small diagonal line, and is never used repeatedly.

In short, he just couldn't let Johansen guess his attacking style, and he couldn't let the opponent adapt to his attacking pattern. It would be best to surprise the opponent.

And this style of play is effective, and it was also confirmed in the following games.

However, it is also obvious that although An Sheng's style of play has greatly improved his possibility of securing the serve, it is still not easy for him to complete the securing.

In particular, compared to Johansen's situation of retaining serve, there is a huge difference.

But I have to say that the result of the game can never be 100% confirmed. Even though An Sheng's current chance of winning is very low, he does already have some possibilities, and he has already raised this possibility to the maximum. degree.

And when the game reached the sixth game of the first set, An Sheng was still broken by Johansen.

At this time, An Sheng actually felt that he had no chance, but in the next 7th round, Johansen did not play well and made consecutive mistakes.

Faced with such a situation, An Sheng did not disappoint despite being pleasantly surprised. He seized this opportunity, thus completing a breakback and equalizing the score.

After that, the two sides kept their serve again, and then entered the final tie-break.

Originally, Johnson, who had the advantage of serving, should be able to take an absolute advantage in the tie-break, but in fact, his performance was still not good enough. At this critical time, his first serve was unstable. , on the contrary, it becomes more prominent.

Therefore, miraculously, An Sheng actually won the first set.

In the next second set, An Sheng didn't change much, because he had already reached his limit and couldn't continue to improve.

On the contrary, Johansen was obviously very dissatisfied with the result of the first set, and he also realized that he had problems in the first set. Therefore, he wanted to make some changes, and he should also He has the ability to play better.

But the result is very surprising.

Johansen originally wanted to strengthen his offense, whether it was in terms of return or offensive strength, but he did not perform well. Not only did he not play very well, but he caused many active mistakes.

In his serve game, the stability of his first serve was still not good enough. In fact, his success rate was even lower than his usual, roughly only [-]%.

In this way, compared to the first set, An Sheng's situation of holding serve was much better. Although it was still difficult for him to break serve against John City, he dragged the game into the final tie once again. Seven innings.

And, as before, he took advantage of Johansen's unsteady serve and successfully won the crucial tie-break, thus winning the game and miraculously breaking into the Huaguo Open the third round.

"Win! Win! Incredible!"

"After the whole game, An Sheng was at a clear disadvantage, but he held on, and dragged the game into the final tie-break twice, and successfully won it, thus winning the counterattack!"

"An Sheng's performance is really great!"

At this time, Bolang sports commentator Qiu Shengshi, who was broadcasting live, shouted with great excitement. He was really surprised by the result of this game, even more so.

But it's not just him, the Huaguo fans who are watching the game on TV and the Internet are also feeling extremely excited for An Sheng's victory!
