Chapter 286
Successfully won the first round, and opened the temporary bonus of spiritual attributes as he wished. An Sheng's mood is still very good.

Looking back and re-examining the changes in his spiritual attributes, An Sheng can confirm that it has indeed become easier.

The reason is like a screwed bottle cap. When you open the cap for the first time, you will find it a little difficult, but after you have opened it once, it will be easier if you want to unscrew it again. too much.

But the core question is, does the temporary attribute bonus really help improve one's spiritual attributes?Can it break through the bottleneck?
An Sheng is not 100% sure about this, but there is no doubt that after he gets the bonus of mental attributes, it will be very helpful for his subsequent games.

The Chennai Open lasted only one week, and its schedule was still relatively compact. Therefore, Anson soon faced his second opponent, Bambry from the United States.

Needless to say, his ATP ranking is not a wild card, so his ranking is similar to other normal qualifiers, all in the 100th place.

As for the opponent at this stage, An Sheng is very confident.

Of course, the outcome of the competition does not depend on who is more confident and who can win. It also depends on the strength comparison of the two sides and their performance on the field.

At 4 pm that day, the match between An Sheng and Bambry officially started.

"Oh!"

Bambry took the lead to serve.

Its quality is good, but it is obviously not beyond An Sheng's ability to bear, and then he completed the hair extension safely.

Taking advantage of the serve, Bambry launched the first round of offense. He took a total of three shots, but Anson successfully resolved all of them and failed to expand his advantage.

In this way, Bambry switched from offense to defense and hit a forehand diagonal topspin as a transition.

For An Sheng, this is an opportunity to counterattack, but he is not in a hurry. In terms of his current style of play, testing is also very important.

Therefore, An Sheng also used a diagonal topspin ball to entangle with it, and at the same time was testing the opponent's forehand hitting ability.

After a few shots of stalemate, it was Bambry who took the lead in making a change, forcing a straight-line attack with a sharp angle, which also allowed him to end the shot and get a winning point.

An Sheng is not distressed about this. In fact, he is more at ease now, because he got some important information in the last ball.

One, he can basically be sure now that this Bambry is probably a player in the transitional stage. His strength, if he plays well, can reach the 80th stage, but if he performs averagely, he can only reach the 70th stage Peak level.

Secondly, he also discovered that Bambry's style of play and mentality are relatively safe, relatively conservative, and not good at rushing.

The combination of the two can roughly draw a conclusion.

That is, An Sheng has enough time to adapt to the opponent's style of play, improve his game state, and be able to bite the score.

But in fact, this match was not as smooth as An Sheng imagined.

For the next ball, both sides were serving and receiving, and everything was normal, and there were no accidents.

And then, Bambry still took advantage of the trend to launch the first round of offensive, but his offensive was actually not strong, and An Sheng was able to complete the defense.

But the final result was the same as before. After the two sides entered a stalemate, Bambry suddenly played a high-quality attack to win the point.

The process is almost exactly the same as the previous ball.

This shows that it is not an accident, but Bambry's habitual style of play, or his usual scoring method.

The problem is that before he hits a strong offensive shot, his shots, whether offensive or defensive, or transitional shots, are very safe.

That is to say, An Sheng couldn't find his flaws in it, so naturally he couldn't target him.

More importantly, An Sheng really couldn't predict Bambry's strong attack, and once he was hit by the opponent, he really couldn't handle it.

In the next few balls, except for Bambry's own mistake, the other few balls basically followed the same pattern.

Obviously, An Sheng was in trouble.

Fortunately, when the right to serve came to An Sheng's hands, the situation changed, and An Sheng got some insights from it.

"Oh!"

An Sheng's serve was as high-quality as ever, which logically gave him some advantages, and he launched a series of offensives instead.

An Sheng first hit a forehand diagonally on a regular basis, and Bambry, who had just completed the return and was still in a passive state, could only return the ball this time in a hurry.

At this time, because of the haste, Bambry's positional loopholes became more obvious.

As a result, An Sheng immediately made a gesture to attack the opponent's backhand position, but he waited for a while before he broke through and swung his racket and hit a backhand.

Such a change left Bambry powerless. Although his ability was no problem, after all, he was subconsciously running towards the backhand position at this time, and thus was unable to change his body's center of gravity in such a short period of time.

But he had to do this, because if he didn't, then An Sheng could really hit his backhand, which would also prevent him from chasing him.

What I have to say is that An Sheng's comprehension is still very good, that is to say, after passing this ball, he already has a new understanding of his tactics.

That is, when facing a conservative player like Bambry, if he wants to expose the opponent's flaws and then play targeted, then he must play more proactively.

Only when he has gained the initiative can he force the other party to show his flaws, otherwise, you are only entangled with the other party, but you are likely to be entangled by the other party.

To be more clear, facing conservative opponents, he should adopt a more active offensive style of play, so as to give him an advantage.

But speaking of this, the problem is actually back to the original point, because An Sheng wants to play an active offensive, which needs to be supported by hard power.

And this, as I said before, is the advantage of safe play, they can always successfully defeat players who are weaker than them.

Fortunately, compared to Banbury, An Sheng's current strength is not weaker than him, and may even be slightly higher.

Especially, when the game came to the second set, after he regained his form, this became even more obvious.

In the end, An Sheng, who found the right way to deal with it and was supported by hard power, won the game relatively smoothly and advanced to the main match.
