Chapter 364 "Proving Ground"

Back at the hotel, An Sheng carefully thought about the game that just ended.

As for the result, there is naturally nothing to say. There is already a big gap in strength between the two sides. It is just a normal performance for him to win this game.

The key point is that he has a new understanding of grass courts.

Before this game, An Sheng always believed that the most suitable court type for him should be clay.

The reason is that he subconsciously regards himself as a typical Asian player, whose characteristics are that he is not strong in physical fitness, good at running and struggling with the bottom line.

But in fact, he is obviously not a typical Asian player, because his physical fitness is no worse than that of European and American players, and his skills do not have any Asian characteristics.

Therefore, his previous impression that he was suitable for red clay was actually wrong.

Of course, with his current physical fitness and comprehensive skills, his performance on the clay court is naturally not bad, but it is not the most suitable for him.

In other words, on the clay court, the strength he showed is not yet his strongest state.

As for the characteristics of the grass court, I have already said it before, and it is just one word, "smooth"!
Here, your ball speed will become faster, the rebound height of the ball after landing will be lower, and there will be certain irregularities, which will enhance your offensiveness to a certain extent.

In other words, playing a game on a grass court is equivalent to allowing players on both sides to raise their offensiveness to a higher level, and at the same time, weaken the defensive capabilities of both sides.

In this way, there is no doubt that offense is the key to winning on grass courts.

In tennis, the two most important points for "offensive", one is serving, and the second is counterattack.

Serving is the basis of offense. It not only allows you to score directly, but also serves as the starting point for your offense. Without the advantage of serving, how can you take the initiative to launch an offensive?

As for the counterattack, it is the key to turning the situation around. Whether it is receiving a strong attack or counterattacking in a stalemate, it can allow you to switch from defense to offense.

And more importantly, isn't serving and counterattack the two skills An Sheng is best at?

Needless to say about his serve, he has a system, not only has a super high quality of serve, but also can guarantee the success rate of his serve.

Since An Sheng entered the professional tennis world, the tactics he has used the most are defensive counterattacks. Coupled with his expertise in SLR technology, counterattacks have become his most powerful feature besides serving.

It can be seen from this that the grass court is actually the most suitable court for Anson.

However, this is just a theory, and whether it is actually the case has yet to be verified through a formal competition.

One day later, on July 7, Ansheng ushered in his second opponent, Dezuch from Bosnia and Herzegovina.

For him, An Sheng had a little impression, because they had fought against each other before.

As for the specific process of the fight, he certainly doesn't remember much, but he can still remember De Zuhe's characteristics.

To put it simply, De Zuhe is a tennis player with not so good physical condition. He is only 1 meters tall and weighs less than 75 kilograms.

There is no doubt that such a physical condition is doomed. It is impossible for De Zuhe to have too strong serving ability, and his offensive ability will definitely not be very good.

In addition, whether it is individual technical ability or overall comprehensive ability, An Sheng obviously has the advantage. Therefore, the result of this game is actually not much suspense.

But this does not mean that this game is not important. In fact, on the contrary, after Ansheng realized that the grass court might be very beneficial to him, he really needed a formal game to verify some of his ideas.

In this way, the match against De Zuhe has become a very important "proving ground" for Anson, and it can also lay a better foundation for his subsequent matches.

"Oh!"

The game officially started, and An Sheng took the lead to serve.

There is also no doubt that De Zuhe, who is relatively thin, has poor offensive ability, but correspondingly, his defensive ability is not weak, including his receiving ability, which is still good.

As a result, although An Sheng's serve is strong, it will not prevent De Zuhe from touching the ball.

But after De Zuhe finished receiving and receiving, he could only stay where he was, because he had already seen that An Sheng chose to serve to the net, and then steadily completed an aerial volley, scoring easily.

As I said before, serving and hitting the net is a very old tactic, which is not very suitable for modern tennis games. However, relying on the characteristics of grass ball courts, this tactic, if mastered well, will also become a Item favorable scoring means.

Therefore, at the beginning of the game, An Sheng planned to practice the tactics of serving and surfing the net, and tested its effect through actual combat.

Facts have proved that on the grass, serving and hitting the net is indeed very effective. In the first game, An Sheng used this tactic in all of them, and the success rate reached [-]% to [-]%.

This kind of success rate can actually be used as a routine tactic for him. Of course, the premise is that he can gain a considerable advantage in serving.

And when the game came to the opponent's serve, An Sheng's tactics were also very simple and clear.

If it is possible to send and receive a strong attack, then he will use a receiving and sending strong attack, but if not, then he will wait for an opportunity to counterattack after the sending and receiving link.

Fortunately, in this game, De Zuhe's serve was not very stable, and he was able to send some good shots from time to time, but he often sent out serves of average quality.

In this way, An Sheng has a good opportunity to verify his tactics.

When the opponent's serve is average, he can use the return and strong attack, and the subsequent offensive, and when the opponent sends some good shots, he can verify his counterattack.

Don't look at An Sheng's tactics that seem to be very simple, either attacking or counterattacking, but in fact, it is still very necessary for him to have such a "test match" on the grass court.

And he just passed the verification of this game, which gave him a better understanding of his own tactics.

For example, he discovered that on the grass, the sooner he counterattacks, the better.

This point is obviously different from other games. The reason is, of course, the characteristics of grass courts. It strengthens the offensiveness of both sides at the same time, so that, in most cases, the opponent's offense will only become more and more serious. stronger.

Therefore, if conditions permit, he must counterattack faster to reverse the offensive and defensive situation, otherwise, his chances of counterattack will only get worse and worse.

As for the final result of this match, there was no surprise. An Sheng finally won three sets in a row and won easily.

It's not that he doesn't want to "let the water go" so that he can play for a while, but because, on this grass court, it's really difficult for him to stop.

In short, this game is still very helpful to him. It not only improves his adaptability to grass courts, but also gives him a more obvious understanding of offensive tactics, laying the foundation for future games. .
