Chapter 313 Never Give Up
When the news of An Sheng's break into the semi-finals of the Sao Paulo Open spread back to China, it naturally made the fans who supported him rejoice.

At the same time, naturally, they also look forward to An Sheng's ability to break into the finals, and even win the tour championship again.

But it must be said that this part of the fans are ordinary fans. They have not really watched An Sheng's recent games, but they only draw such a very optimistic judgment from the results.

On the contrary, there is another small group of senior fans. Not only are they not so optimistic, but they are very worried about An Sheng's current state.

For example, Qiu Shengshi, the leading commentator of Bolang Sports, watched Ansheng's performance at the Sao Paulo Open through overseas websites.

It doesn't take him much professional analysis, he can easily see that although An Sheng won the final victory in the last few games, he didn't play well. About the Open, that is a far cry.

Even after watching An Sheng's first match, Qiu Shengshi felt that An Sheng might not be able to make it past the second round.

Therefore, when he watched the next two games, he was worried and not at all at ease.

But fortunately, An Sheng finally made it to the semi-finals stumbling, and Qiu Shengshi's heart fell halfway. After all, even if An Sheng was eliminated in the next competition, this result would not be considered bad.

More importantly, even though An Sheng was in poor condition, he was still able to achieve his current results, which showed that his strength was real, not illusory.

This point is really important to him.

In fact, the fans are not afraid of An Sheng's ups and downs, because this is normal. Anyone may experience poor conditions, but they are afraid that he will not recover after a setback, just like a roller coaster. Swipe straight down, and never see the light of day again.

Such a situation is actually not uncommon in the sports world.

Therefore, judging whether a player is strong or not depends on his performance when he is in a downturn, not how good he is at his peak.

And An Sheng's performance has already satisfied this group of fans similar to Qiu Shengshi, letting them know that An Sheng is worthy of their support.

It must also be said that this part of the fans is the elite among the fans, they are very rational, and most of them have certain economic strength or relatively high social status.

Of course, this doesn't mean that they have to be higher than ordinary fans, it's just that, as a tennis player, it is true that they need the support of such a group of people.

If An Sheng wants to become a world-class tennis star, then the qualities he possesses that can attract high-end fans are indispensable.

But back to the schedule, at 7:[-] the next night, An Sheng ushered in his semi-finals.

His opponent is his old acquaintance, that is, the opponent he met in the Rio Open and also in the semi-finals. He is Busta from Spain.

An Sheng didn't know if it was luck to meet him.

First, he doesn't need to spend so much effort to find a way to deal with Busta. Second, he has defeated the opponent before, so, to a certain extent, it may be able to put some pressure on Busta .

Correspondingly, whether it is in the Rio Open or the current Sao Paulo Open, Busta's performance is very good, and he has continued his good state.

If An Sheng also continued his previous good form, then he could take the lead in this game, but unfortunately, his condition is not there.

And An Sheng believes that Busta must have understood his current situation.

From this, it can be seen that in this game, An Sheng is more or less fortunate.

"Oh!"

The game has already started, with Busta serving first.

As I said before, Busta is very strong in serving, not only full of strength, but also has the ability to change at will in terms of route and placement.

However, An Sheng was psychologically prepared for this, and he completed the hair extension relatively safely.

Subsequently, Busta was routine and launched a continuous attack.

At this time, Busta also showed another great thing, that is, his control of "winning points" and "unforced errors" is quite good.

To be more specific, he can easily play an offense that is sufficiently threatening to An Sheng, but at the same time, it will not exceed his ability and control the number of mistakes within an acceptable range.

But if Ansheng is in good condition, there is no need to worry too much, because he only needs to improve the quality of his batting, and then, naturally, he can break Busta's balance.

In their last match, An Sheng relied on this to win the game.

But now, he is not in the good state he was before. Therefore, there is actually only one thing he can do now, that is, firm defense.

It must be said that such a strategy was actually thought up by An Sheng early on, and he believed that as long as he could defend firmly, then he would have a slight chance to defeat Busta.

And back to this goal, Busta really made a mistake in the process of continuous attack.

Of course, this is only the first goal. Busta is still in the process of testing, and it is normal to make mistakes.

More importantly, just through this ball, Busta discovered a shortcoming of An Sheng, that is, although his defense is strong, his offensiveness is correspondingly very poor.

This is indeed An Sheng's most fatal weakness now, because he really can't come up with high-quality offense now, even if it is a counterattack, he is very cautious.

In this way, Busta responded immediately. To a certain extent, he reduced his offensive intensity to ensure his batting success rate. onslaught.

In his mind, this combination of slow and fast must be able to pose a greater threat to An Sheng.

On the next ball, after the two sides finished serving and receiving, Busta was not in a hurry to attack, but played a few transitional shots that were not very offensive.

After that, he suddenly seized the opportunity, suddenly accelerated his batting rhythm, and hit a powerful forehand straight attack.

This time, An Sheng's defensive rhythm was disrupted, making him unable to keep up with Busta's speed, and he lost the point.

However, Busta's strategy, after Ansheng realized it, actually did not have much effect, because although Ansheng's competitive state was not good, his mental attributes still remained at the 80 stage. peak.

In other words, An Sheng's ability to predict has not weakened.

What's more, this change from slow to fast is also a test for Busta. When he suddenly accelerates, there must be some signs, which is inevitable.

Therefore, as long as An Sheng can maintain a high degree of concentration during the game, then he has the ability to judge Busta's intentions in advance and make preparations in advance.

It didn't take long for Busta to discover this situation, and instead gave up this style of play.

After all, as I said just now, the change of rhythm is also a test for him, which will increase his turnover rate to a certain extent. If he can't get more winning points, he can only can discard it.

After a period of probing and confrontation, Busta was very helpless to find that he had no better way to face An Sheng who insisted on defense.

In other words, Busta has no other means to target Ansheng, so he must use conventional offensive methods and tactics to compete with Ansheng.

Of course, don't look at Busta as if he was forced into such a situation by An Sheng, but in fact, he is still the one with the greater winning rate.

It's just that, relying on his defense and strategy, An Sheng won for himself a higher winning percentage than his current state.

In short, Busta has a greater chance of winning, but An Sheng is not completely without a chance of winning.

Moreover, in this game, there are no additional factors that can affect the outcome of the game. The key to the final decision of the outcome lies in the competition between the two sides for each ball.

Every goal is important and requires them to do their best.

In the end, Ansheng actually won.

But to be honest, even he himself was very surprised by this result, because he was always at a disadvantage throughout the game.

If I had to say one reason why he was able to win, it was probably that he had to be more determined in consciousness.

From the beginning to the end, An Sheng never gave up on any ball, no matter what the situation was.
