Chapter 31 "The Shocking War"

Lucheng University, a certain dormitory.

"Hey, have you heard that there will be another shocking battle in the tennis club today!"

"What shocking battle? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"You should have heard the name 'An Sheng'?"

"I've heard that he is the younger brother of our school belle An Ran, and he seemed to have just defeated Wang Haozhe, who is ranked 51 on the strength list, the day before yesterday, right?"

"Yes! Then do you know Xiong Yingjie?"

"Xiong Yingjie? Of course I know. He is a famous 'mobile cannon'. His serve is amazing! Why, what does he have to do with An Sheng?"

"Hey, didn't I just say that there will be a shocking battle today, and the opponents of both sides are An Sheng, who just replaced Wang Haozhe and was promoted to No. 51 on the strength list, and An Sheng, who is ranked No. 21 on the strength list, nicknamed 'Mobile Cannon ' Xiong Yingjie."

"Really? When?"

"At 7 o'clock tonight, Tennis Club, Tennis Court No. 4."

"Then I have to go and see if you go or not, we will be together then."

"Tch, aren't you talking nonsense? Of course I will go! And I also tell you that An Ran and Xia Yutong, the two school beauties, will appear together. There will also be many seniors and juniors. I would be a fool not to go. .”

"..."

At this time, An Sheng, who was training hard on the court, didn't know that the news that he was going to challenge Xiong Yingjie had spread all over the campus. As long as they were students who usually pay attention to the tennis club, they would know about it. thing.

Some students even posted this news on their campus BBS, and called it a "shocking war" in a rather exaggerated way, which also attracted the attention of many people.

In addition, An Sheng probably didn't expect that his sister An Ran was a very popular school belle in their school, which indirectly let many people know his name.

What's more, he is also the apprentice of Xia Yutong, another popular school flower, which makes many people pay attention to him.

Of course, these news, as well as the so-called "school belle's younger brother" and "school belle's apprentice", are just jokes, just to add some talk for those students who are bored, and have no practical significance.

As for the fact that An Sheng wanted to challenge Xiong Yingjie, it was indeed true, but the fact was that An Sheng had already challenged him yesterday, but he lost.

However, An Sheng felt that with his current strength, as long as he did some targeted training, he could defeat the opponent. Therefore, after the challenge failed, he immediately told Xiong Yingjie that he would continue to challenge him tomorrow. The other party also accepted and made an appointment with him.

In addition, before An Sheng challenged Xiong Yingjie, he had already challenged another senior who was ranked in the 30th place, and defeated him.

So, it's not that An Sheng is too arrogant, but that with his current ranking, he can indeed challenge Xiong Jieying formally.

And even though he knew there was a game tonight, An Sheng didn't give up today's training. He didn't stop to rest until around 06:30.

Before leaving, An Sheng took a look at his attribute panel, and then walked out of the fitness building under the "left and right guards" of An Ran and Xia Yutong.

"Look, look! An Sheng is out."

The sound of "coaxing" shocked An Sheng, and it was only then that he realized that there were so many people here today, at least twice as many as usual.

The most important thing is, why are these people looking at him?
"Sister, Sister Tong, what's going on?"

"Of course they came to see your game, don't you know?"

An Ran seemed to like such a lively scene, and would wave her hands from time to time to greet the classmates she knew.

When it came to Xia Yutong, she looked very calm.

"An Sheng, leave them alone and focus on the game."

"it is good."

Although An Sheng didn't know what was going on, he was not intimidated by this scene, he was just a little surprised. Hearing Xia Yutong's reminder at this time, he calmed down and walked towards 4 tennis court.

However, his opponent, Xiong Yingjie, had already warmed up on the court, and when he saw An Sheng approaching, he immediately stopped, obviously ready for the match.

When it came to An Sheng, he was not in such a hurry. He felt that he and Xiong Yingjie were not very familiar, so he ran to the middle net belt on purpose, and said hello to the other party as a sign of friendship.

It is worth mentioning that An Sheng's current height, including shoes, is almost 1 meters, which is not short, but when he stands with Xiong Yingjie, he looks particularly small.

Xiong Yingjie is really strong, with a height of 1 meters and a weight of 86 kilograms. His body is also very muscular, especially his right arm, which is probably thicker than the average person's thigh, which shows the strength of his arm.

It is precisely because of this that when he is playing, he is very powerful, and he is called a "mobile cannon".

And then, the game officially started.

As the challenger, An Sheng still enjoys the right to serve first, and without any hesitation, he raised his head and sent an outside corner.

But unexpectedly, An Sheng, who has always served very steadily, made a mistake this time, and the ball went directly out of the sideline of the service area.

Regarding this, An Sheng shook his head lightly, but he was not angry, because he knew very well in his heart that the reason for his mistake this time was that he had increased his strength attribute during training in the afternoon. One point, from 45 points, to 46.

This small change also made him need to make some adjustments when serving, and this serving can only be regarded as a test for him, and it is normal to make mistakes.

An Sheng habitually patted the ball twice before preparing for the second serve, but at this moment, he caught a glimpse that Xiong Yingjie, who was preparing to receive the serve, had already changed his original receiving position, from the bottom line, forward After taking two small steps, he entered the arena.

His intention is obvious, that is, he wants to catch An Sheng's second serve, and is going to launch an attack directly when he receives it.

This approach is roughly correct, because generally speaking, players will choose to be more conservative when serving the second serve, and will not excessively pursue the speed and placement of the ball to prevent "double faults". If it is low, it will naturally leave opportunities for the receiver to attack.

But looking at his actions, An Sheng not only didn't feel pressured, but smiled.

In fact, after losing the match with Xiong Yingjie yesterday, An Sheng had analyzed his playing strategy.

First of all, he is known as the "mobile cannon", and his serve is definitely his best weapon. In their tennis club, few people can take advantage of his serve. As for "breaking serve", it is even more difficult. Very rare.

In this way, Xiong Yingjie can guarantee that in his serve game, he will win a game.

Correspondingly, because of his height and weight, his moving speed and pace, among players of the same level, he is relatively weak and not flexible enough, so once he falls into a passive situation, it will be difficult for him to move forward. Pull it back.

Under such circumstances, if he wants to score, he must take the initiative from the very beginning.

That is to say, in the opponent's serve game, in order not to let himself fall into a passive position, he can only choose a hard-working style of play, and no matter whether it is the right time or not, he will attack first.

Of course, the success rate of his forced attack is obviously not too high.

But having said that, he did this with confidence in his heart, because he can almost 100% guarantee that he will not lose in his serve game.

The success rate is not high, but it doesn't mean that he has no chance of success. If he fails, then he doesn't care. Anyway, even if he uses the normal style of play, he will still lose, but if he succeeds, then he will naturally make money. arrive.

More importantly, his desperately attacking and active style of play is particularly effective in the third game. When he can guarantee that he will not lose the serve, as long as he can win the opponent's serve One of the goals, he can win the game.

This is the important reason why Xiong Yingjie, even though his tennis skills are not very good, can still occupy the 21st place in the strength list.

And in yesterday's game, An Sheng lost the entire set because Xiong Yingjie broke a serve in the third game, but couldn't break it back.

But having said that, in this normal serving game, his style of play is not a big threat to An Sheng, because even if he wins a point, it doesn't matter, as long as An Sheng doesn't make consecutive mistakes.

Because of this, facing Xiong Yingjie's front position, An Sheng didn't have any pressure. More importantly, he didn't intend to be conservative at all. He had full confidence in the stability of his serve.

"Snapped!"

This time for the second serve, An Sheng still chose to hit the serve vigorously, but in terms of the angle, he chose to chase the ball less often. This shot was aimed directly at Xiong Yingjie.

Facing such a fast ball speed, Xiong Yingjie was in a forward position. He didn't have time to swing the racket, so he just twisted his body a little reluctantly, and managed to avoid the chasing ball and missed the hit.

"Wow~"

An Sheng's second shot obviously surprised many people, causing them to unconsciously exclaim.

They didn't expect that An Sheng would be so bold and confident that he still chose this unstable and powerful serve when he served the second serve.

At this time, Chen Feiyang, who occupied a very good viewing position, was also very surprised by An Sheng's performance.

"Hey~ An Ran, your brother is really not an ordinary person. His physical potential is already extraordinary. I didn't expect his psychological quality to be so inhuman!"

"Of course, you don't even look at it, he is my younger brother."

Seeing An Sheng's score, An Ran was very happy. At this time, her smile was like a flower, and her spirit was high.

"That's right, but An Ran, why didn't I see this kind of potential in you?"

"I want you to take care of it!"

"No! Could it be that you and An Sheng were not born by the same parents?"

"Ouch~"

"Tsk! An Ran, why are you beating me?"

"Hitting you is still considered light. If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Hey! Stop arguing and watch the game first!"

Xia Yutong on the side was a little impatient with the two of them arguing and had to remind them, but while talking, her eyes were always on An Sheng.

To be honest, she is really surprised by An Sheng now. She never expected that in just a few days, An Sheng's strength has reached this level, and she can even challenge the 21st player in the strength list !
