Chapter 292 Critical Moments
After a round of battle, for the Huaguo audience, the result was very in line with their expectations.

Difficult to pass the qualifiers, and Wu Di, who advanced to the main match, continued his good form, but in the first round of the main match, he still lost to the American player Austin.

In fact, this once again confirmed An Sheng's view, that is, the key to determining the outcome of the game is hard power, and other factors are only secondary reasons.

And based on An Sheng's understanding of Wu Di, his strength at the peak state is probably in the upper reaches of the 70th stage, and may not reach the peak yet.

In this way, the arena that can keep him competitive should be in the Challenger League, but in the Tournament, he basically has no hope.

As for the Grand Slam tournaments, to be honest, his ability to enter the main match is already very limited, and he has added some luck. If he wants to go further, the possibility is too low.

As for An Sheng's ability to pass the first round of the main match, for most Huaguo tennis fans, or for those who knew An Sheng well, it was within their expectations, and it was no surprise.

After all, before that, An Sheng was able to break into the quarterfinals at the Chennai Open. His strength and state were enough to support him through this step.

But one day later, when the game came to the second round of the main match, many people began to worry about An Sheng, because the opponent he met this time was very strong.

He is from Slovakia, currently ranked No. 62 in the ATP Deportivo.

More importantly, in the last round of competition, he upset the No. 26 seeded player of this Australian Open, Ramos from Spain.

From this, we can roughly know how outstanding Laco's strength and state are.

But in fact, in An Sheng's view, this is his luck, or in other words, this is already a very good situation that he can encounter now.

The reason is that An Sheng believes that, compared to those seeded players, although Laco defeated the seeded players by surprise, he should still be slightly weaker in terms of hard power.

As far as An Sheng is concerned, only when the hard power of the two sides is not much different can he have a chance to defeat the opponent, otherwise, everything is empty talk.

At around 11:3 that morning, the match between Ansheng and Deportivo officially started in Arena No. [-].

By the way, after passing the first round, the number of contestants has dropped by half. Therefore, although the schedule is still two days a game, the interval between each game is slightly longer Some.

That is to say, the competition was not so intensive. As a result, there were slightly more spectators who came to watch An Sheng's competition.

In addition, it must also be said that during Ansheng's first game, there were not many spectators, but there were still a group of Huaguo spectators, or overseas students, who came to support him.

And this time, it's the same, and they have more people and a larger scale. If everyone sits together, they can form a small cheering square.

An Sheng also noticed this. When he entered the arena, he waved to them specially to express his gratitude. Of course, when he started warming up, he didn't have that kind of leisure, and all his attention was on the game superior.

"Oh!"

The game started, and Laco took the lead in serving.

"Great power! Fast ball speed!"

This was An Sheng's instant reaction, but he could only think so much, because the speed of the opponent's ball was really too fast, and in a blink of an eye, the tennis ball flew in front of him.

"Bang~"

The voice was a bit dull, which roughly indicated that An Sheng's swing was not in the right position.

In fact, this was indeed the case. An Sheng's return seemed quite hasty, and even though he was prepared, he still underestimated the opponent's strength.

Under such circumstances, the quality of An Sheng's hair extensions is naturally not very good.

Immediately afterwards, Depco, who had already collapsed into the field and was well prepared, met the incoming ball without hesitation and hit a powerful forehand swipe.

Its angle is relatively average, but its strength is really strong, resulting in a very fast ball speed, so fast that An Sheng can't catch up.

But, just through this ball, An Sheng has already roughly judged the strength and characteristics of Laco.

There is no suspense that Depco's strength is at least above 80, and he is also a very typical European tennis player.

His physical condition is very good, he is strong, he serves very well, and he is very mature technically whether it is forehand or backhand.

But correspondingly, his running ability and hitting feel are a little bit worse, which is why his hitting is not too angled.

Of course, if his strength is strong enough, then he doesn't need to take risks at all to hit such a big angle.

The more critical point is that his momentum is very full. On the court, he has such a powerful temperament of "who can give me nothing".

In this way, An Sheng's situation can be imagined.

Fortunately, Anson has experience in dealing with typical European players and their aggressive style of play.

After all, in the previous tours he participated in, the opponents he encountered were basically stronger than him, and he had also encountered players with such fierce momentum.

And the way to deal with it is actually two words, that is "patience"!
He can only be patient, use his "prediction" ability well, try to resolve the opponent's attack as much as possible, and then entangle with the opponent.

As long as the opponent cannot score easily, then their momentum will naturally fade away, which will affect their game state.

Of course, as mentioned before, under such circumstances, An Sheng can basically give up the initiative of the game. In other words, whether he can win or not depends entirely on his opponent's performance, but he cannot control himself destiny.

In the first game between the two sides, there was no suspense about the outcome. An Sheng lost, but he also did what he wanted, insisted on defending, bit the score, and played against Laco for nearly an hour.

As a result, although Depco won, he was very unhappy about winning, so that he was obviously impatient in the second half of the first set, and was quite irritable when attacking. , hit hard.

However, at this time, Laco's physical strength reserves are still very good, and in the case of his sufficient physical strength, even if his offense is fiercer, the problem is not big, and the success rate can still be maintained at a very high level. .

In the second match between the two sides, the result was the same, and An Sheng still lost, but this match took an hour, twenty and ten minutes.

In other words, the two of them basically played every ball and every game to the full!

There is no doubt that this is extremely exhausting. It can be clearly seen that when the second set ended, both players were very panting.

This is one of Anson's goals.

And when the game came to the third set, An Sheng was going to start desperately, which was what he had planned before.

"Oh!"

In the first game, Laco served.

His serve is his magic weapon for victory, and it is also the key to his avoiding being entangled by An Sheng. Therefore, although his physical strength has dropped a lot, he is absolutely unambiguous in serving.

But up to now in the game, An Sheng has already been familiar with the way of his serve. Almost at the moment he swung his racket, he made a correct prediction, which made his return faster and easier. There will be more time to improve the control of its hair extension.

"Crack~"

An Sheng used the rebound ball again, and consciously hit the ball to the opponent's backhand.

After completing the return, Ansheng worked non-stop to reset. At the same time, his eyes were always staring at Deco's every move.

"Backhand position!"

At the moment when Laco swung his racket again, An Sheng made a prediction.

What needs to be explained by the way is that after the physical strength declines, a person's movements will be relatively slowed down, and his vigilance will be weakened.

To put it more clearly, as his physical strength declines, the concealment of Laco's movements becomes less and less when he hits the ball. Correspondingly, his purpose becomes more and more obvious.

This also led to An Sheng's prediction being easier and more accurate.

Without any hesitation, An Sheng immediately started and rushed to the backhand position. The moment the ball landed, he was already ready to hit the ball, and then swung his racket fiercely.

"Snapped!"

The racket hit the flying tennis ball hard, making a crisp sound, and then the tennis ball turned back at a faster speed and at a more tricky angle.

This time, Laco obviously didn't expect it. After seeing An Sheng's counterattack, he just ran two steps subconsciously, stood where he was, and gave up directly.

Wiping his waist and panting heavily, Laco subconsciously glanced at An Sheng, obviously already feeling An Sheng's counterattack.

"Oh!"

It was another high-speed serve, but An Sheng had really seen through his ball path, and he also played a high-quality rebound return once again.

However, Laco, who had realized the problem, of course didn't want An Sheng to succeed, and then he became ruthless and used his forehand to hit a powerful blow.

"Wow~"

This ball, Laco played really beautifully, the angle was extremely tricky, and he went directly to the sideline of An Sheng's backhand position, and when he exerted force, the speed of the ball was extremely fast.

In this way, An Sheng naturally couldn't catch up.

At this moment, An Sheng was also panting heavily, and then glanced at Laco, the meaning of which was self-evident.

To put it simply, both sides now understand each other's intentions, and they also know that these few games have reached the most critical moment of the entire game.

If An Sheng can win it, then he is likely to turn the situation around, or even come back, but if Laco can hold on, then the game will be over.

Therefore, the two sides naturally want to fight to the death in these few rounds, and the tone in their hearts must not be let go first, otherwise, all previous efforts will be wasted!
