final winner
Chapter 50
Successfully entered the second round, for a young player participating in a Grand Slam competition for the first time, it is worth it.Even if they lost in the next match, it would be an honor to lose.
However, Lu Dongxu didn't have this idea at all. After finishing his physical therapy, he began to prepare the opponent's information for the next round, and did some training as usual.
The protagonist is unaware of the outside world, but has already attracted a lot of attention because of this game.
Lamb was warned by the Tennis Association for swearing at the caddy and throwing the towel on the court.Although this punishment was not too serious, it did make Lamb lose his demeanor completely.
Tennis is known as an aristocratic sport. Sometimes, demeanor is more important than winning or losing.
The media was delighted to hear this, and while stomping on Lamb hard, they gave Lu Dongxu a big thumbs up.Praise him for his good style of play, his modesty and politeness, and his good looks.
At the same time, for the first time, the word genius was frequently used on Lu Dongxu.
Even if the foreign media is like this, let alone the domestic media. Lu Dongxu has been reporting positively recently. Duan Chen checked Weibo and found that Xiao Lu has become the gospel of the majority of female compatriots. Learn from role models.
It was soon confirmed by CCTV that the second round of Lu Dongxu's match will be broadcast live.
Zhou Pingkun was a little worried about this: "With so many people paying attention, will the pressure be even greater?"
Lu Dongxu responded with doubts: "Huh?"
Duan Chen smiled: "He doesn't care about these things at all...Sometimes he is like two tortoises at home who react very slowly..."
Lu Dongxu smiled and kissed him, obediently did not refute.
After one round, half of the people were wiped out, leaving 64 people.
Lu Dongxu's luck was mixed. His next opponent, Lyles, ranked 21st and 30th in the world, was a Frenchman. The two sides had never played against each other before.
At this time, Yan Jian has also begun to pay attention to the seed players who are assigned to the lower half of the district like Lu Dongxu. In addition to the top seed and world number one Snedda, there are also No. [-] seed Sotovic and No. [-] Gele Si et al.
For young players, encountering these people in the first two rounds is basically admitting to being unlucky and accepting the fate of being cannon fodder.Thinking about it this way, No.20 in this world looks very cute.
Duan Chen knew that Lu Dongxu's game experience was relatively rare among professional players, and most of his previous participations were in youth competitions or low-level competitions, and he had never met any top players, so he couldn't help asking: "Is there any player you like more? "
Lu Dongxu: "Yes, Sneda."
Duan Chen expressed his dissatisfaction. He didn't like Sneda very much. This guy is very strong, and he clearly remembered that he would PK Lu Dongxu at the Australian Open more than a year later, so he didn't like him very much.
"What about you?" Lu Dongxu asked.
Duan Chen: "Hogar, he is more handsome."
Hogar is now the second in the world, a Spaniard, and he is very dominant in clay court events-he has won three French Open champions.Snedda is not without rivals in the football world, the points of the two are very close, and occasionally the world number one will change seats.It is precisely because of Hogar's existence that Sneda has never had a French Open champion.
Lu Dongxu: "..."
He was confused about why Duan Chen thought Hojar was more handsome.
After a day of rest, the second round of competition came as scheduled.
The attendance rate of this game basically reached [-]%.Because there are so many events, in addition to the games on the central court, spectators who have purchased tickets for daytime events can choose any stadium to watch the game.
The organizing committee took pride in arranging it on Court No. [-]. It was also the first time for Lu Dongxu to play under the attention of so many people. He was a little surprised and dazed. The problem was left behind.
The atmosphere of this game was relatively harmonious at first, at least in the players' boxes of both sides was very relaxed at first.On Lu Dongxu's side, winning a few rounds is a victory anyway, and it doesn't matter if he loses; on the other hand, Lyles didn't pay attention to the rookies who are ranked above 200 in the world. He thinks it's good that he has attracted so much media and attention. of.
However, the process of the game was very brutal.
The score was staggered.
Commentary: "It's very interesting. During today's game, Lu has never taken the lead in game points, but every time Lyles leads by two games, Lu always tenaciously tied."
At this time the score board shows: 5-5
This kind of suspenseful game is of course the most appetizing for the audience. Lyles is also a well-known star. In the early years, the highest world ranking reached No.11. In comparison, Lu Dongxu's strength seems to be relatively poor.
So such a tenacious chasing battle was like a beautiful boy struggling to survive under the oppression of the big devil. After the game, many people felt very distressed, because Lu Dongxu played too tenaciously.
At the end of the first set, 7-5, Lyles took the lead.
An hour later, the second set ended, 7-6, and the score of the tiebreak reached 11-9.According to the statistics of this set, in terms of total points, Lu Dongxu even beat Lyles by two points, but the one who lost this set was he who didn't seize the opportunity.
At this time, the players' boxes on both sides had long since lost the ease they had before. Lyles' side had lingering fears, while Lu Dongxu's side had low morale.
Tie-break ah, only a little bit.
Duan Shen was heartbroken and frequently looked at Lu Dongxu in the players' rest area.Seeing that he was still in the first round, with the towel on his lap, drinking water one by one, looking at the court, and adjusting his breathing, he felt a little relieved.
At this time, the game took nearly two hours.
The commentator said: "If the third set is won by Lu and dragged into the fourth or fifth set, I don't know who will have the problem of lack of physical strength first. Of course, for the current Lyles, he is the best The best choice is to decisively win the third set!"
In the third set, Lu Dongxu served first.
He caught the ball by surprise and scored the first point with an ACE ball.The speedometer next to it shows that the speed has reached 201KM/H.
"He's implying that we can still persevere physically." Yan Jian sighed, "It's not that Dongxu has no chance of winning...but it's really too difficult for him to win now."
Duan Chen knew in his heart that even if he had no chance of winning, he would complete the normal game completely and with all his might.
I also remembered that he and Li Qingzhou had talked about shortcomings before. Insufficient physical strength is indeed a very obvious problem.The Grand Slam tournament is a five-set best-of-three system, which requires much higher physical fitness than ordinary tennis games.If Lu Dongxu wanted to win now, he would have to play five sets if he lost two sets first.
This guy is so stubborn sometimes.
Duan Chen felt distressed when he thought about it.
Just at the beginning of this set, Lu Dongxu resumed frequently returning the ball with one hand, most of which were backhands.The one-handed backhand consumes less physical energy, and the angle is tricky, so it can be regarded as a quick solution.
After all, Lyles is a player with a much higher level than Lamb. Although he was caught off guard at the beginning, he did not completely lose his rhythm.
After all, he is 30 years old, and compared with this young player, he does not have an advantage in physical strength.
He is bound to win this set.
Because he couldn't lose, Lyles' dismissal tended to be conservative.Soon, Lu Dongxu speeded up the number of surfing in addition to the one-handed backhand.
Commentary: "Lu obviously wants to fight. Compared with the beginning, his offense is obviously much stronger now! And Lyles sticks to the bottom line and tends to be conservative, frequently chasing Lu's backhand. If this continues, I'm afraid it's not good. .”
Sure enough, in the fourth game, Lyles' serve was broken.
The score suddenly came to 1-3.
And just when Lyles was about to strengthen his offensive rhythm, he suddenly discovered that the opponent's tactics had changed again!
"Unbelievable forehand through! Lyles has already started to reach the tennis ball early, but the ball has appeared behind him!"
At this time, under the oppression of Lu Dongxu's weird play style, due to physical reasons and other reasons, Lyles began to make frequent mistakes.
"OUT!"
The line judge shouted!
Another forehand was hit, and the line judge shouted again: "OUT!"
Lyles's rhythm began to become chaotic, and his impression of the opponent changed repeatedly in this game. What shocked him most now was that this young man made too few mistakes!
He almost never listened to the line judge yelling out of bounds behind him, challenged Hawkeye twice, and the audience praised him, hitting the line one after another!
At this time, the score came to 1-5 unknowingly.
To lose a game, sometimes it is so fast!
The final score was fixed at 2-6, Lu Dongxu pulled back a victory, and the game dragged into the fourth set.
Two and a half hours had passed, Lyles looked at the timing card and suddenly felt a little tired.And he clearly knew that once he had this idea, he had already lost more than half of it.
On the other hand, Lu Dongxu, he was also exhausted, but he had an unusual calmness and concentration.The camera cut to a close-up of him, Lu Dongxu wiped off his sweat, put on a new ball cap, and returned to the baseline after picking the ball.
From the beginning to the end, he never glanced at the timing dial and the scoring dial.
For him, the game seemed to have just begun.
The games in other stadiums had already ended, but this side had a good reversal. More and more people poured into the stadium, and the audience was almost full. Many people could only stand and watch the game.
Fortunately, the remaining two games took only one hour in total.
Amid thunderous applause from time to time, Lu Dongxu won 4-6 and 1-6 respectively.
He won every point and was extremely determined.
Staged the most exciting big reversal.
At the post-match press conference, Lyles smiled wryly: "He is much tougher than I imagined, and I can see that he doesn't have much advantage over me in terms of physical strength. But at the end of the third set, I understood I'm going to lose, because the opponent's willpower is far above mine."
Lu Dongxu did not attend, and Zhou Pingkun took care of the media for the time being.
Duan Chen was waiting for Lu Dongxu to receive physical therapy in the player's lounge. Chen Ming called from overseas: "It is simply a historic victory! Is my male god by your side? Please allow me to talk to the male god Bar!"
"He's resting." Duan Chen didn't have much joy of victory, but more distressed, "He's really exhausted."
☆, Chapter 51
The physical therapy lasted for a full hour and a half. Kip said: "Five sets, the exercise intensity is indeed a bit too much."
Yan Jian nodded: "Don't do too much training next, take a good rest tomorrow."
Lu Dongxu wore a wristband and put some plaster on his hands. Hearing this, he nodded slightly. Seeing that Duan Chen looked at him without speaking, he took the initiative to say: "It's okay, don't worry."
How could Duan Chen listen to it? He was really afraid of some kind of injury on Lu Dongxu's body, such as water accumulation in the knee, muscle tear, maybe surgery, meniscus removal, MRI, and other messy things, he thought. Just thinking about it makes my heart choke.
Especially now that Lu Dongxu is under his nose.
Who wants to make their lover suffer like this?
But Duan Chen couldn't persuade him, could it be that you shouldn't be so obstinate next time?If you lose, you lose. Why are you working so hard?He couldn't even say such words himself. As a tennis player, Lu Dongxu's professionalism is the pursuit of victory.
What's more, if you win now, you should be happy.
So Duan Chen could only say: "Listen to the coach, rest more, I will watch you tomorrow."
Lu Dongxu hummed, and looked at the coach again: "Has the draw come out?"
"Come out." Yan Jian paused, "Sotovic."
The Russian player who is currently ranked third in the world is also the winner of last year's US Open.
For a while, no one was talking in the players' lounge, and Sam showed such an expression, no wonder the coach said not to train, this No. [-] seed is indeed very difficult to deal with.
"The game the day after tomorrow will be played on the central court, and it will be a night game, starting at 6 pm." Yan Jian smiled, "You have gone farther than I did back then, and I think you know what you should do. "
Lu Dongxu said, "I know."
A group of people left the stadium and returned to the hotel.
Duan Chen and Lu Dongxu now brazenly live in a luxurious double room.When going to bed at night, Duan Chen touched Lu Dongxu's arms and legs one by one, and asked him how he was and whether it hurt.
Lu Dongxu: "It doesn't hurt...don't touch it."
Duan Chen: "Why don't you let me touch it if it doesn't hurt? By the way, do you feel particularly weak now? Let's go to bed early."
Lu Dongxu's breathing was a little messed up, he held down his restless hand, and looked at his lover with a pair of beautiful dark blue eyes helplessly, Duan Chen couldn't help laughing when he saw him: "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. "
Duan Shen couldn't fall asleep for a while, and asked, "You will be No. [-] in the world the day after tomorrow, um, what do you think?"
Lu Dongxu thought for a while: "It's hard."
Duan Chen hesitated for a while, and said, "Have you ever thought that you may never win a Grand Slam championship in your life?"
"Thought about it." Lu Dongxu said, "If you can't get it...would you still marry me?"
Duan Chen felt that he was really his darling, and if he said that, he would be in a bad state.He could only laugh angrily, and said, "Of course I would!"
As for whether to marry or not, the details are ignored.
"You can only marry me, understand?" Duan Chen was firm, "When the marriage law is passed, we will go to get the certificate, or we can get married first."
"it is good."
One word, indescribable pampering.
Duan Chen's heart was sweet, and he began to think about it again. If he really wants to get married, he still needs to think a lot. He thought for a long time, and then said: "You will definitely have more fans in the future. We must be more careful and low-key in the future, otherwise it will be easy. Burned to death...but after your competition is over, we should stay in the school and don't care so much."
"Um……"
Duan Chen turned to look at Lu Dongxu, his eyes were closed, as if he was about to fall asleep.Duan Chen leaned over, rubbed his lips against his cheek, and said in a low voice, "Good night."
***
Rest the next day.
When Duan Chen received the call from Li Qingzhou, he was leaning on Lu Dongxu to read a book, and he was also surprised: "Huh? Why are you here?"
Li Qingzhou said: "Come to watch the game, boss, and by the way, come and record a theme song for the movie."
The interlude and ending songs of the movie were recorded by the American singer Gris signed by Duan Shen. He is a genius, needless to say.But the theme song, considering that this is a Chinese movie after all, let's sing a Chinese song.Shining Star Entertainment has two key targets for development, so Li Qingzhou was sent on board.
This movie also won the Best Original Music Award at the film festival before Duan Zhongzhong was alive. Among the people in Lu Haiyang's group, they made the most music, and they were also the most talented.
Duan Chen said, "Do you record first, or watch the game first?"
Li Qingzhou: "Watching the game and watching the game, is Xiao Lu by your side? I also brought a friend over, and I want to ask him a few words."
Although Lu Dongxu and Li Qingzhou only met once, they seemed to get along very well at that time.Especially Lu Dongxu is the kind of person who treats people more sincerely, and has long regarded Li Qingzhou as a friend.
Duan Chen silently handed over the phone.
Then he pricked up his ears silently and listened to the chat between Lu Dongxu and Li Qingzhou.
Greetings, and then Lu Dongxu said a few words, then I heard Lu Dongxu exclaimed in surprise: "Paul?"
Duan Shen thought to himself: Which Paul?
Lu Dongxu said: "Well, I will think about it...Thank you...Okay...Yes, yes, I will send you the address...Yeah."
After hanging up the phone quickly, Duan Chen asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Dongxu: "Li Qingzhou introduced me to a coach..."
"Oh." Duan Chen knows that this is quite necessary. Yan Jian's coaching level is actually not as good as Lu Dongxu's current ability. This Li Qingzhou has also said before, "Did he introduce it well?"
Lu Dongxu nodded with certainty, looked at Duan Chen strangely, and said, "It's Hogal's former coach."
A person who likes Hogar has no reason not to know...
Duan Chen rarely blush, he really doesn't know this, to be honest, the only player he likes is actually Lu Dongxu... Wait a minute, so this coach is also very good?
Sure enough, I heard Lu Dongxu say with some doubts: "He is a former Grand Slam winner."
Duan Chen finally remembered, he could only blame the world for having too many Pauls: "Wesson-Paul!"
What the hell is Li Qingzhou, the foreign aid, who sent too much, right? !
☆, Chapter 52
Lu Dongxu did not hide anything from Yan Jian about the meeting with Wesson-Paul.At first, Duan Chen was worried that this would lead to discord among the team. Unexpectedly, when Yan Jian heard the news, he immediately said: "Great! We were worried that there would be no suitable coach candidate before!"
Duan Chen: "..."
Lu Dongxu smiled: "Go down together, it's coming soon."
Lu Dongxu and Li Qingzhou made an appointment at the coffee shop on the third floor of the hotel. Sam and Jeep said that they would not participate if they had no time to play games.Duan Chen thought for a while, and he couldn't interfere in this matter, or he should go back to check Weibo.
But after thinking about it, anyway, the film king is here, and it's good to care about his subordinates, so he followed.
Half an hour later, Li Qingzhou and Paul arrived as scheduled.
Li Qingzhou is still the same, walking from a distance, it is a pleasing painting, wearing a suit, the whole person is shrouded in the halo of the prince.
Tsk tsk, evildoer.
Paul, on the other hand, is in the prime of life, around 40 years old, handsome, but a little fat.
Li Qingzhou sat down and said, "Hi, boss. Paul, this is my boss, a good friend of Lu. "
Paul said hello, hello, shook hands with three people one by one, said long time no see to Yan Jian, and laughed to Lu Dongxu: "Young man, you won a great game."
Duan Chen soon realized that he was a bit redundant, the professional tennis circle is so big, Paul obviously knew both Lu Dongxu and Yan Jian.As soon as I sat down, I started chatting, talking about Lu Dongxu's performance in the tennis school. ideas or something...
Li Qingzhou didn't interrupt either, and smiled at the rather melancholy boss.
Duan Chen texted him right under the table: How are you and Lu Haiyang doing?
Li Qingzhou: The old way - not good.
Duan Chen: How did you do it?Every time I ask Lu Haiyang about movies, that guy is unwilling to mention you a word.
Li Qingzhou twitched the corner of her mouth: feel guilty.He always wants to prove that he is a lover, thinking how deep his love is, as if no one cares, so he can only deceive himself.
Duan Shen, who had a rather low EQ, looked at him silently, with a question mark on his head.
Duan Chen replied: ...Wait, what are you talking about?
Li Qingzhou laughed out loud.
Duan Chen: "..."
At this time, several other people also looked over, Li Qingzhou smiled, his handsome and delicate face showed the vitality of a young man, handsome and handsome, which made him even more beautiful.
He fooled around: "Go on, I saw a joke just now..."
Duan Chen was puzzled, where did he make a joke?
Forget it, he doesn't care about other people's affairs.Anyway, Lu Haiyang will always remember him as a brother when he needs it.As for the rabbit not eating the grass beside the nest, don't forget that you belong to the same company, so he doesn't bother to care about such details.
It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let them make troubles.
Soon, Paul's long-winded analysis ended.
Yan Jian took the initiative to say: "Actually, Xiao Lu's real coach is only me. This time, we also hope to find another coach for him."
"Should I add one, or change it?" Paul asked interestingly, raising his eyebrows, "Young man, what do you mean?"
Lu Dongxu said: "Two coaches, or one."
There was a hint of surprise in Li Qingzhou's eyes.
Duan Chen also quickly understood.
Lu Dongxu continued: "A coach is the one next to me, sorry."
Paul laughed: "I left Hogar's team before, on the one hand because I can't help him much, and on the other hand because someone can give him more help...Frankly speaking, I appreciate you This attitude, when I was young, I also had a coach with me for nearly 20 years, and the coach gave me what I still use now."
Lu Dongxu: "Yes."
"..." Paul changed a syllable in a lot of words, and he couldn't continue, "Look at your next game, the coach is a big thing, and it needs to be discussed in detail."
Talking in detail will naturally involve plans, contracts, and the like.
Obviously Paul is still on the sidelines. If Lu Dongxu goes to the street in the future, he will also discredit the former Grand Slam winner.
After the talk, it was almost time for dinner.
Li Qingzhou and Paul naturally also stayed in this hotel.After calling Sam, Jeep and others, a group of people went to the restaurant to eat again.
Li Qingzhou was very happy to see Lu Dongxu, and asked with a smile, "Is there still space in your player's box?"
Lu Dongxu: "Yes, welcome."
Li Qingzhou: "I haven't sat in the player's box at the US Open since I grew up, and I can finally reminisce about it."
Duan Chen heard some other information: "Have you sat before? Paul's?"
Li Qingzhou: "Well, the boss is wise, it's his."
Duan Chen could finally ask today's key question: "So... are you and him?"
"He is my stepfather." Li Qingzhou blinked and said with a smile, "It is because of his influence that I can understand a little bit of tennis... Don't worry, this time I just want to hug the boss's thigh, and I will try my best to help Xiaolu will handle him."
It turns out that Li Qingzhou's mother must be very beautiful, alas, it's cheaper for foreigners.
Duan Chen thought about the picture of Li Qingzhou hugging his thigh, and for some reason he thought of Lu Haiyang again.Looking at Li Qingzhou's similar appearance to Lou Yan's, I feel a little complicated in my heart.
But... it seems that there is something wrong, to help Xiaolu in order to hug his thigh? !
"...Wait, you know me and Xiao Lu?"
Li Qingzhou snorted, "I've always seen the problem of the proprietress very clearly." The colleagues of Xingyao Entertainment were able to guess the proprietress to Gris Lu Haiyang, and they used various methods to verify it. He was also drunk .
Duan Chen was pointed out, he turned his face silently, almost wanting to sneak into Lu Dongxu's arms, feeling annoyed in his heart, why didn't he find that this person spoke so sharply before?But Lu Dongxu just smiled, since everyone knew it well, he was so happy that he didn't have to hide it, and held Duan Chen's hand openly.
Li Qingzhou watched from the side, and there was a smile on the corner of his lips, which was light and faint.
After the meal, the group dispersed quickly, some were jet-lagged, some were playing games, some were resting.The next day was just killing time, pretending to wait for the game calmly.
☆, Chapter 53
The Center Court of the U.S. Open has attracted much attention.
Two well-known tennis players introduced to the audience the players of tonight's match, and they sang together.
Commentary A: "Sotovic didn't lose a set in the previous games. It seems that the defending champion is also determined to win the trophy. Compared with the previous two rounds, his opponent in this round is the lowest ranked player in the world. It is unexpected. .”
Commentary B: "Why don't you say that this rookie is also the youngest one after two rounds?"
Commentator A: "Oh, I would also like to remind the audience that this Chinese player is currently recognized as the most handsome men's singles player..."
Commentator B: "Everyone already knows this. Don't you feel that there are obviously more female audiences in this competition than before? Well, there are no empty seats. Thinking about it, I'm a little excited."
Commentary A: "Everyone is impatient with your nonsense. The time is almost up, and the two players are about to enter the field. Closer to home, let's analyze the game objectively based on the statistics of the two players."
Sotovic, the Australian Open champion of the previous year and the US Open champion of last year, with two Grand Slams in hand, is 25 years old this year and is in full bloom.He has comprehensive skills, strong forehand, and stable performance. He has not fallen out of the top ten in the world since he was 22 years old, and he is one of the tactical masters recognized in the tennis world today, with excellent psychological quality.
Lu Dongxu won two games before, the first one was to completely defeat his opponent, needless to say.The final victory in the second game was related to the decline in the opponent's physical fitness and the lack of willpower after the fight.
But today, the opponent he faces is strong and comprehensive. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is impossible for Lu Dongxu to replicate the victories of the previous two rounds against Sotovic.
After analyzing the data objectively, the two commentators expressed their opinions one after another. In their own words, they are more optimistic about Sotovic's victory.Of course, I don’t forget to add a sentence: "We are very much looking forward to this Chinese teenager can surprise us again!"
The player's box was very close to the field. No matter who he was playing against, Lu Dongxu always looked the same, with no expression on his face, and completed the game process step by step, never making any changes due to changes in opponents.
Every game is the most important one.
Looking at Lu Dongxu's calm look, Duan Chen suddenly relaxed. The words of the commentary go in one ear and out the other. Anyway, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will stay by his side.
After the pre-match warm-up was over, a coin toss was performed soon, and Lu Dongxu got the chance to serve first.
The referee said: "Quiet, please!"
Lu Dongxu walked near the bottom line, the camera zoomed in, and his handsome profile was cut out on the screen.The white tennis cap was lowered, casting a small shadow on his face, his eyes were deep.
All quiet.
The ball is thrown up, spins in the air, hits the racket, and draws a sharp arc!
Sotovic is tall, but his movement speed is not weak at all. When the ball arrives, his racket has already been swung out, and his iconic strong forehand is directly drawn.
Lu Dongxu's racket also arrived, but it was too late. At the same time, the well-trained caddy flew out to pick up the ball.
One hit score.
Referee: "0-15."
With the comparison, Duan Chen knows how fast the world's top players react and how fast the ball is.
Maybe the gap is only a few tenths of a second, but Lu Dongxu is indeed already slow.
Yan Jian sighed: "There is indeed a gap between Sotovic's level and Dongxu's previous opponent, and it is not small. Sure enough, he couldn't keep up with this speed at first."
Compared with players of the same age group and low world rankings, Lu Dongxu's speed is very fast, and compared with Lyles in the last round, he is also on par.
But now, before this indispensable top star, his speed has become his short rib.
This kind of defect is inevitable, because they have not been at the same level of competition for a long time.
Cruel, but also very real.
Duan Chen turned to look at Paul. He was also wearing a hat, propped his chin, didn't speak, just looked at the field.
The speed of Lu Dongxu's next few servings has not changed, but the starting speed of catching the ball seems to be much faster.
When the score reached 0-40, I saw Sotovic dexterously stepping and swinging the racket with a fake move. The ball flew to the right of Lu Dongxu, but at this time Lu Dongxu made a mistake in his prediction. left side of the field.
The ball landed calmly and flew away.
When the score reached 0-1, Lu Dongxu's first serve was broken.
Commentary A: "Sure enough, I was deceived..."
Commentary B: "As expected of a master tactician..."
Tennis matches are very tight, and the rest time between sets is only 2 minutes. Generally, the rest time between small rounds is only 20 seconds.
Duan Chen hadn't finished his heart yet, and Sotovic's serve had already begun.
On the first ball, the No. [-] player in the world hit an ACE!
The speedometer honestly shows: 220KM/H
Losing a set is always faster than expected.
If the rhythm of breaking serves is maintained, it only takes six rounds to win the next set, and a Lovegame can only take less than 2 minutes at the fastest.
Sotovic has been in the professional arena for seven years and has experienced many battles.He's also not in the habit of taking opponents lightly, and like all top players, he treats every game like it's the most important one.
In this regard, Lu Dongxu is also the same.
They are all used to winning point by point and winning to the end.
Respect the game, respect the opponent.
Lu Dongxu went to the net, Sotovic picked up the ball and attacked the backcourt.
Lu Dongxu hit an exquisite one-handed backhand, and Sotovic was prepared to catch the ball in return.
Lu Dongxu pulled out a straight line to cross, and Sotovic pulled out a strong topspin and crossed obliquely.
One move, the other unhurriedly dismantled, dismantled just right,
Commentary A: "Lu is slow again, and the score is tied. Let's see if Lu can keep this serve. If he loses this serve, the next game will be Sotovic's serve to win the game."
Commentary B: "Although the score is still 0-4, like Lu's last round, he seems to be adapting to the rhythm of the game. We can see that the time spent in each round is actually increasing."
Duan Chen frowned unconsciously, saying that he doesn't care about winning or losing, but when it comes to the competition, how could he really take it lightly?
Looking at Lu Dongxu again, this is the first time that the serve is evenly divided. To win it completely, he needs to score two points in a row.He picked the ball and got back to the baseline.
All quiet.
The audience is often more willing to lean towards the side that looks weaker, and Lu Dongxu is handsome, which is naturally more advantageous.Now that the general trend of this game is gone, what everyone is looking forward to now is that this young man can face a top star on the center court and completely win a serve game of his own.
When the ball came out, the yellow ball swept a slightly lower arc and hit the net in the middle, barely reaching the half court.
Referee: "One serve wipes the net, then re-try."
Lu Dongxu just glanced at the opposite side, served the ball again, and the ball came out.
Online review: "OUT!"
Referee: "One out of bounds, two out."
Duan Chen thought to himself, my dear, don't make double mistakes at this time!
Lu Dongxu pursed his lips, served the ball for the third time, and when the ball arrived, the sharp voice of the line judge sounded again: "OUT!"
Boos all over the place.
The referee's voice is eternally calm: "Double fault, 40-AD."
The camera gave a close-up of Lu Dongxu, but the boy just froze, turned around, took the towel handed by the caddy to wipe his sweat, and played his next serve as if nothing had happened.
Duan Chen felt that he was the one who was embarrassed when he heard the boos.This ball game held on the central court will be broadcast live on TV stations in more than [-] countries. Lu Dongxu's embarrassment will be magnified in the eyes of the whole world.
Duan Chen couldn't stand it anymore.
He had always known that tennis was a one-person sport, but now he hated it to death.Xiao Lu was being bullied. After the game, he didn't know what kind of group ridicule he was going to experience, but he could only stay on the sidelines and could do nothing.
The game was not saved in the end, and Sotovic won the first set 10 minutes later.
The score was brutal: 0-6.
The 2 minute break is gone in a blink of an eye.Lu Dongxu wants to keep up with Sotovic's rhythm, and it is obviously unrealistic to only rely on half an hour of a game.
I have to admit that the world's No. [-] player is superior in skills, and there is nothing to choose in terms of tactics and willpower.
Commentator A and commentator B sang and sang, talked about the ball for a while, and talked about it for a while, and it didn't take long for a game to be halfway through.At this stage, the excitement of the packed Center Court has almost faded away.
Duan Chen looked at the court with a numb face, still thinking about those gangsters on the Internet.At this time, Li Qingzhou, who was sitting on the side, suddenly said: "Well, there seems to be something going on in this game."
Lu Dongxu just scored a point in his serve: 30-15.
Commentator A said disappointedly: "Sotovic made a mistake."
An expert looking at the doorway, Duan Chen quickly discovered that it was indeed a mistake, a mistake in judgment.
Naturally, the eyes of the two commentators will not compare
However, Lu Dongxu didn't have this idea at all. After finishing his physical therapy, he began to prepare the opponent's information for the next round, and did some training as usual.
The protagonist is unaware of the outside world, but has already attracted a lot of attention because of this game.
Lamb was warned by the Tennis Association for swearing at the caddy and throwing the towel on the court.Although this punishment was not too serious, it did make Lamb lose his demeanor completely.
Tennis is known as an aristocratic sport. Sometimes, demeanor is more important than winning or losing.
The media was delighted to hear this, and while stomping on Lamb hard, they gave Lu Dongxu a big thumbs up.Praise him for his good style of play, his modesty and politeness, and his good looks.
At the same time, for the first time, the word genius was frequently used on Lu Dongxu.
Even if the foreign media is like this, let alone the domestic media. Lu Dongxu has been reporting positively recently. Duan Chen checked Weibo and found that Xiao Lu has become the gospel of the majority of female compatriots. Learn from role models.
It was soon confirmed by CCTV that the second round of Lu Dongxu's match will be broadcast live.
Zhou Pingkun was a little worried about this: "With so many people paying attention, will the pressure be even greater?"
Lu Dongxu responded with doubts: "Huh?"
Duan Chen smiled: "He doesn't care about these things at all...Sometimes he is like two tortoises at home who react very slowly..."
Lu Dongxu smiled and kissed him, obediently did not refute.
After one round, half of the people were wiped out, leaving 64 people.
Lu Dongxu's luck was mixed. His next opponent, Lyles, ranked 21st and 30th in the world, was a Frenchman. The two sides had never played against each other before.
At this time, Yan Jian has also begun to pay attention to the seed players who are assigned to the lower half of the district like Lu Dongxu. In addition to the top seed and world number one Snedda, there are also No. [-] seed Sotovic and No. [-] Gele Si et al.
For young players, encountering these people in the first two rounds is basically admitting to being unlucky and accepting the fate of being cannon fodder.Thinking about it this way, No.20 in this world looks very cute.
Duan Chen knew that Lu Dongxu's game experience was relatively rare among professional players, and most of his previous participations were in youth competitions or low-level competitions, and he had never met any top players, so he couldn't help asking: "Is there any player you like more? "
Lu Dongxu: "Yes, Sneda."
Duan Chen expressed his dissatisfaction. He didn't like Sneda very much. This guy is very strong, and he clearly remembered that he would PK Lu Dongxu at the Australian Open more than a year later, so he didn't like him very much.
"What about you?" Lu Dongxu asked.
Duan Chen: "Hogar, he is more handsome."
Hogar is now the second in the world, a Spaniard, and he is very dominant in clay court events-he has won three French Open champions.Snedda is not without rivals in the football world, the points of the two are very close, and occasionally the world number one will change seats.It is precisely because of Hogar's existence that Sneda has never had a French Open champion.
Lu Dongxu: "..."
He was confused about why Duan Chen thought Hojar was more handsome.
After a day of rest, the second round of competition came as scheduled.
The attendance rate of this game basically reached [-]%.Because there are so many events, in addition to the games on the central court, spectators who have purchased tickets for daytime events can choose any stadium to watch the game.
The organizing committee took pride in arranging it on Court No. [-]. It was also the first time for Lu Dongxu to play under the attention of so many people. He was a little surprised and dazed. The problem was left behind.
The atmosphere of this game was relatively harmonious at first, at least in the players' boxes of both sides was very relaxed at first.On Lu Dongxu's side, winning a few rounds is a victory anyway, and it doesn't matter if he loses; on the other hand, Lyles didn't pay attention to the rookies who are ranked above 200 in the world. He thinks it's good that he has attracted so much media and attention. of.
However, the process of the game was very brutal.
The score was staggered.
Commentary: "It's very interesting. During today's game, Lu has never taken the lead in game points, but every time Lyles leads by two games, Lu always tenaciously tied."
At this time the score board shows: 5-5
This kind of suspenseful game is of course the most appetizing for the audience. Lyles is also a well-known star. In the early years, the highest world ranking reached No.11. In comparison, Lu Dongxu's strength seems to be relatively poor.
So such a tenacious chasing battle was like a beautiful boy struggling to survive under the oppression of the big devil. After the game, many people felt very distressed, because Lu Dongxu played too tenaciously.
At the end of the first set, 7-5, Lyles took the lead.
An hour later, the second set ended, 7-6, and the score of the tiebreak reached 11-9.According to the statistics of this set, in terms of total points, Lu Dongxu even beat Lyles by two points, but the one who lost this set was he who didn't seize the opportunity.
At this time, the players' boxes on both sides had long since lost the ease they had before. Lyles' side had lingering fears, while Lu Dongxu's side had low morale.
Tie-break ah, only a little bit.
Duan Shen was heartbroken and frequently looked at Lu Dongxu in the players' rest area.Seeing that he was still in the first round, with the towel on his lap, drinking water one by one, looking at the court, and adjusting his breathing, he felt a little relieved.
At this time, the game took nearly two hours.
The commentator said: "If the third set is won by Lu and dragged into the fourth or fifth set, I don't know who will have the problem of lack of physical strength first. Of course, for the current Lyles, he is the best The best choice is to decisively win the third set!"
In the third set, Lu Dongxu served first.
He caught the ball by surprise and scored the first point with an ACE ball.The speedometer next to it shows that the speed has reached 201KM/H.
"He's implying that we can still persevere physically." Yan Jian sighed, "It's not that Dongxu has no chance of winning...but it's really too difficult for him to win now."
Duan Chen knew in his heart that even if he had no chance of winning, he would complete the normal game completely and with all his might.
I also remembered that he and Li Qingzhou had talked about shortcomings before. Insufficient physical strength is indeed a very obvious problem.The Grand Slam tournament is a five-set best-of-three system, which requires much higher physical fitness than ordinary tennis games.If Lu Dongxu wanted to win now, he would have to play five sets if he lost two sets first.
This guy is so stubborn sometimes.
Duan Chen felt distressed when he thought about it.
Just at the beginning of this set, Lu Dongxu resumed frequently returning the ball with one hand, most of which were backhands.The one-handed backhand consumes less physical energy, and the angle is tricky, so it can be regarded as a quick solution.
After all, Lyles is a player with a much higher level than Lamb. Although he was caught off guard at the beginning, he did not completely lose his rhythm.
After all, he is 30 years old, and compared with this young player, he does not have an advantage in physical strength.
He is bound to win this set.
Because he couldn't lose, Lyles' dismissal tended to be conservative.Soon, Lu Dongxu speeded up the number of surfing in addition to the one-handed backhand.
Commentary: "Lu obviously wants to fight. Compared with the beginning, his offense is obviously much stronger now! And Lyles sticks to the bottom line and tends to be conservative, frequently chasing Lu's backhand. If this continues, I'm afraid it's not good. .”
Sure enough, in the fourth game, Lyles' serve was broken.
The score suddenly came to 1-3.
And just when Lyles was about to strengthen his offensive rhythm, he suddenly discovered that the opponent's tactics had changed again!
"Unbelievable forehand through! Lyles has already started to reach the tennis ball early, but the ball has appeared behind him!"
At this time, under the oppression of Lu Dongxu's weird play style, due to physical reasons and other reasons, Lyles began to make frequent mistakes.
"OUT!"
The line judge shouted!
Another forehand was hit, and the line judge shouted again: "OUT!"
Lyles's rhythm began to become chaotic, and his impression of the opponent changed repeatedly in this game. What shocked him most now was that this young man made too few mistakes!
He almost never listened to the line judge yelling out of bounds behind him, challenged Hawkeye twice, and the audience praised him, hitting the line one after another!
At this time, the score came to 1-5 unknowingly.
To lose a game, sometimes it is so fast!
The final score was fixed at 2-6, Lu Dongxu pulled back a victory, and the game dragged into the fourth set.
Two and a half hours had passed, Lyles looked at the timing card and suddenly felt a little tired.And he clearly knew that once he had this idea, he had already lost more than half of it.
On the other hand, Lu Dongxu, he was also exhausted, but he had an unusual calmness and concentration.The camera cut to a close-up of him, Lu Dongxu wiped off his sweat, put on a new ball cap, and returned to the baseline after picking the ball.
From the beginning to the end, he never glanced at the timing dial and the scoring dial.
For him, the game seemed to have just begun.
The games in other stadiums had already ended, but this side had a good reversal. More and more people poured into the stadium, and the audience was almost full. Many people could only stand and watch the game.
Fortunately, the remaining two games took only one hour in total.
Amid thunderous applause from time to time, Lu Dongxu won 4-6 and 1-6 respectively.
He won every point and was extremely determined.
Staged the most exciting big reversal.
At the post-match press conference, Lyles smiled wryly: "He is much tougher than I imagined, and I can see that he doesn't have much advantage over me in terms of physical strength. But at the end of the third set, I understood I'm going to lose, because the opponent's willpower is far above mine."
Lu Dongxu did not attend, and Zhou Pingkun took care of the media for the time being.
Duan Chen was waiting for Lu Dongxu to receive physical therapy in the player's lounge. Chen Ming called from overseas: "It is simply a historic victory! Is my male god by your side? Please allow me to talk to the male god Bar!"
"He's resting." Duan Chen didn't have much joy of victory, but more distressed, "He's really exhausted."
☆, Chapter 51
The physical therapy lasted for a full hour and a half. Kip said: "Five sets, the exercise intensity is indeed a bit too much."
Yan Jian nodded: "Don't do too much training next, take a good rest tomorrow."
Lu Dongxu wore a wristband and put some plaster on his hands. Hearing this, he nodded slightly. Seeing that Duan Chen looked at him without speaking, he took the initiative to say: "It's okay, don't worry."
How could Duan Chen listen to it? He was really afraid of some kind of injury on Lu Dongxu's body, such as water accumulation in the knee, muscle tear, maybe surgery, meniscus removal, MRI, and other messy things, he thought. Just thinking about it makes my heart choke.
Especially now that Lu Dongxu is under his nose.
Who wants to make their lover suffer like this?
But Duan Chen couldn't persuade him, could it be that you shouldn't be so obstinate next time?If you lose, you lose. Why are you working so hard?He couldn't even say such words himself. As a tennis player, Lu Dongxu's professionalism is the pursuit of victory.
What's more, if you win now, you should be happy.
So Duan Chen could only say: "Listen to the coach, rest more, I will watch you tomorrow."
Lu Dongxu hummed, and looked at the coach again: "Has the draw come out?"
"Come out." Yan Jian paused, "Sotovic."
The Russian player who is currently ranked third in the world is also the winner of last year's US Open.
For a while, no one was talking in the players' lounge, and Sam showed such an expression, no wonder the coach said not to train, this No. [-] seed is indeed very difficult to deal with.
"The game the day after tomorrow will be played on the central court, and it will be a night game, starting at 6 pm." Yan Jian smiled, "You have gone farther than I did back then, and I think you know what you should do. "
Lu Dongxu said, "I know."
A group of people left the stadium and returned to the hotel.
Duan Chen and Lu Dongxu now brazenly live in a luxurious double room.When going to bed at night, Duan Chen touched Lu Dongxu's arms and legs one by one, and asked him how he was and whether it hurt.
Lu Dongxu: "It doesn't hurt...don't touch it."
Duan Chen: "Why don't you let me touch it if it doesn't hurt? By the way, do you feel particularly weak now? Let's go to bed early."
Lu Dongxu's breathing was a little messed up, he held down his restless hand, and looked at his lover with a pair of beautiful dark blue eyes helplessly, Duan Chen couldn't help laughing when he saw him: "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. "
Duan Shen couldn't fall asleep for a while, and asked, "You will be No. [-] in the world the day after tomorrow, um, what do you think?"
Lu Dongxu thought for a while: "It's hard."
Duan Chen hesitated for a while, and said, "Have you ever thought that you may never win a Grand Slam championship in your life?"
"Thought about it." Lu Dongxu said, "If you can't get it...would you still marry me?"
Duan Chen felt that he was really his darling, and if he said that, he would be in a bad state.He could only laugh angrily, and said, "Of course I would!"
As for whether to marry or not, the details are ignored.
"You can only marry me, understand?" Duan Chen was firm, "When the marriage law is passed, we will go to get the certificate, or we can get married first."
"it is good."
One word, indescribable pampering.
Duan Chen's heart was sweet, and he began to think about it again. If he really wants to get married, he still needs to think a lot. He thought for a long time, and then said: "You will definitely have more fans in the future. We must be more careful and low-key in the future, otherwise it will be easy. Burned to death...but after your competition is over, we should stay in the school and don't care so much."
"Um……"
Duan Chen turned to look at Lu Dongxu, his eyes were closed, as if he was about to fall asleep.Duan Chen leaned over, rubbed his lips against his cheek, and said in a low voice, "Good night."
***
Rest the next day.
When Duan Chen received the call from Li Qingzhou, he was leaning on Lu Dongxu to read a book, and he was also surprised: "Huh? Why are you here?"
Li Qingzhou said: "Come to watch the game, boss, and by the way, come and record a theme song for the movie."
The interlude and ending songs of the movie were recorded by the American singer Gris signed by Duan Shen. He is a genius, needless to say.But the theme song, considering that this is a Chinese movie after all, let's sing a Chinese song.Shining Star Entertainment has two key targets for development, so Li Qingzhou was sent on board.
This movie also won the Best Original Music Award at the film festival before Duan Zhongzhong was alive. Among the people in Lu Haiyang's group, they made the most music, and they were also the most talented.
Duan Chen said, "Do you record first, or watch the game first?"
Li Qingzhou: "Watching the game and watching the game, is Xiao Lu by your side? I also brought a friend over, and I want to ask him a few words."
Although Lu Dongxu and Li Qingzhou only met once, they seemed to get along very well at that time.Especially Lu Dongxu is the kind of person who treats people more sincerely, and has long regarded Li Qingzhou as a friend.
Duan Chen silently handed over the phone.
Then he pricked up his ears silently and listened to the chat between Lu Dongxu and Li Qingzhou.
Greetings, and then Lu Dongxu said a few words, then I heard Lu Dongxu exclaimed in surprise: "Paul?"
Duan Shen thought to himself: Which Paul?
Lu Dongxu said: "Well, I will think about it...Thank you...Okay...Yes, yes, I will send you the address...Yeah."
After hanging up the phone quickly, Duan Chen asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Dongxu: "Li Qingzhou introduced me to a coach..."
"Oh." Duan Chen knows that this is quite necessary. Yan Jian's coaching level is actually not as good as Lu Dongxu's current ability. This Li Qingzhou has also said before, "Did he introduce it well?"
Lu Dongxu nodded with certainty, looked at Duan Chen strangely, and said, "It's Hogal's former coach."
A person who likes Hogar has no reason not to know...
Duan Chen rarely blush, he really doesn't know this, to be honest, the only player he likes is actually Lu Dongxu... Wait a minute, so this coach is also very good?
Sure enough, I heard Lu Dongxu say with some doubts: "He is a former Grand Slam winner."
Duan Chen finally remembered, he could only blame the world for having too many Pauls: "Wesson-Paul!"
What the hell is Li Qingzhou, the foreign aid, who sent too much, right? !
☆, Chapter 52
Lu Dongxu did not hide anything from Yan Jian about the meeting with Wesson-Paul.At first, Duan Chen was worried that this would lead to discord among the team. Unexpectedly, when Yan Jian heard the news, he immediately said: "Great! We were worried that there would be no suitable coach candidate before!"
Duan Chen: "..."
Lu Dongxu smiled: "Go down together, it's coming soon."
Lu Dongxu and Li Qingzhou made an appointment at the coffee shop on the third floor of the hotel. Sam and Jeep said that they would not participate if they had no time to play games.Duan Chen thought for a while, and he couldn't interfere in this matter, or he should go back to check Weibo.
But after thinking about it, anyway, the film king is here, and it's good to care about his subordinates, so he followed.
Half an hour later, Li Qingzhou and Paul arrived as scheduled.
Li Qingzhou is still the same, walking from a distance, it is a pleasing painting, wearing a suit, the whole person is shrouded in the halo of the prince.
Tsk tsk, evildoer.
Paul, on the other hand, is in the prime of life, around 40 years old, handsome, but a little fat.
Li Qingzhou sat down and said, "Hi, boss. Paul, this is my boss, a good friend of Lu. "
Paul said hello, hello, shook hands with three people one by one, said long time no see to Yan Jian, and laughed to Lu Dongxu: "Young man, you won a great game."
Duan Chen soon realized that he was a bit redundant, the professional tennis circle is so big, Paul obviously knew both Lu Dongxu and Yan Jian.As soon as I sat down, I started chatting, talking about Lu Dongxu's performance in the tennis school. ideas or something...
Li Qingzhou didn't interrupt either, and smiled at the rather melancholy boss.
Duan Chen texted him right under the table: How are you and Lu Haiyang doing?
Li Qingzhou: The old way - not good.
Duan Chen: How did you do it?Every time I ask Lu Haiyang about movies, that guy is unwilling to mention you a word.
Li Qingzhou twitched the corner of her mouth: feel guilty.He always wants to prove that he is a lover, thinking how deep his love is, as if no one cares, so he can only deceive himself.
Duan Shen, who had a rather low EQ, looked at him silently, with a question mark on his head.
Duan Chen replied: ...Wait, what are you talking about?
Li Qingzhou laughed out loud.
Duan Chen: "..."
At this time, several other people also looked over, Li Qingzhou smiled, his handsome and delicate face showed the vitality of a young man, handsome and handsome, which made him even more beautiful.
He fooled around: "Go on, I saw a joke just now..."
Duan Chen was puzzled, where did he make a joke?
Forget it, he doesn't care about other people's affairs.Anyway, Lu Haiyang will always remember him as a brother when he needs it.As for the rabbit not eating the grass beside the nest, don't forget that you belong to the same company, so he doesn't bother to care about such details.
It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let them make troubles.
Soon, Paul's long-winded analysis ended.
Yan Jian took the initiative to say: "Actually, Xiao Lu's real coach is only me. This time, we also hope to find another coach for him."
"Should I add one, or change it?" Paul asked interestingly, raising his eyebrows, "Young man, what do you mean?"
Lu Dongxu said: "Two coaches, or one."
There was a hint of surprise in Li Qingzhou's eyes.
Duan Chen also quickly understood.
Lu Dongxu continued: "A coach is the one next to me, sorry."
Paul laughed: "I left Hogar's team before, on the one hand because I can't help him much, and on the other hand because someone can give him more help...Frankly speaking, I appreciate you This attitude, when I was young, I also had a coach with me for nearly 20 years, and the coach gave me what I still use now."
Lu Dongxu: "Yes."
"..." Paul changed a syllable in a lot of words, and he couldn't continue, "Look at your next game, the coach is a big thing, and it needs to be discussed in detail."
Talking in detail will naturally involve plans, contracts, and the like.
Obviously Paul is still on the sidelines. If Lu Dongxu goes to the street in the future, he will also discredit the former Grand Slam winner.
After the talk, it was almost time for dinner.
Li Qingzhou and Paul naturally also stayed in this hotel.After calling Sam, Jeep and others, a group of people went to the restaurant to eat again.
Li Qingzhou was very happy to see Lu Dongxu, and asked with a smile, "Is there still space in your player's box?"
Lu Dongxu: "Yes, welcome."
Li Qingzhou: "I haven't sat in the player's box at the US Open since I grew up, and I can finally reminisce about it."
Duan Chen heard some other information: "Have you sat before? Paul's?"
Li Qingzhou: "Well, the boss is wise, it's his."
Duan Chen could finally ask today's key question: "So... are you and him?"
"He is my stepfather." Li Qingzhou blinked and said with a smile, "It is because of his influence that I can understand a little bit of tennis... Don't worry, this time I just want to hug the boss's thigh, and I will try my best to help Xiaolu will handle him."
It turns out that Li Qingzhou's mother must be very beautiful, alas, it's cheaper for foreigners.
Duan Chen thought about the picture of Li Qingzhou hugging his thigh, and for some reason he thought of Lu Haiyang again.Looking at Li Qingzhou's similar appearance to Lou Yan's, I feel a little complicated in my heart.
But... it seems that there is something wrong, to help Xiaolu in order to hug his thigh? !
"...Wait, you know me and Xiao Lu?"
Li Qingzhou snorted, "I've always seen the problem of the proprietress very clearly." The colleagues of Xingyao Entertainment were able to guess the proprietress to Gris Lu Haiyang, and they used various methods to verify it. He was also drunk .
Duan Chen was pointed out, he turned his face silently, almost wanting to sneak into Lu Dongxu's arms, feeling annoyed in his heart, why didn't he find that this person spoke so sharply before?But Lu Dongxu just smiled, since everyone knew it well, he was so happy that he didn't have to hide it, and held Duan Chen's hand openly.
Li Qingzhou watched from the side, and there was a smile on the corner of his lips, which was light and faint.
After the meal, the group dispersed quickly, some were jet-lagged, some were playing games, some were resting.The next day was just killing time, pretending to wait for the game calmly.
☆, Chapter 53
The Center Court of the U.S. Open has attracted much attention.
Two well-known tennis players introduced to the audience the players of tonight's match, and they sang together.
Commentary A: "Sotovic didn't lose a set in the previous games. It seems that the defending champion is also determined to win the trophy. Compared with the previous two rounds, his opponent in this round is the lowest ranked player in the world. It is unexpected. .”
Commentary B: "Why don't you say that this rookie is also the youngest one after two rounds?"
Commentator A: "Oh, I would also like to remind the audience that this Chinese player is currently recognized as the most handsome men's singles player..."
Commentator B: "Everyone already knows this. Don't you feel that there are obviously more female audiences in this competition than before? Well, there are no empty seats. Thinking about it, I'm a little excited."
Commentary A: "Everyone is impatient with your nonsense. The time is almost up, and the two players are about to enter the field. Closer to home, let's analyze the game objectively based on the statistics of the two players."
Sotovic, the Australian Open champion of the previous year and the US Open champion of last year, with two Grand Slams in hand, is 25 years old this year and is in full bloom.He has comprehensive skills, strong forehand, and stable performance. He has not fallen out of the top ten in the world since he was 22 years old, and he is one of the tactical masters recognized in the tennis world today, with excellent psychological quality.
Lu Dongxu won two games before, the first one was to completely defeat his opponent, needless to say.The final victory in the second game was related to the decline in the opponent's physical fitness and the lack of willpower after the fight.
But today, the opponent he faces is strong and comprehensive. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is impossible for Lu Dongxu to replicate the victories of the previous two rounds against Sotovic.
After analyzing the data objectively, the two commentators expressed their opinions one after another. In their own words, they are more optimistic about Sotovic's victory.Of course, I don’t forget to add a sentence: "We are very much looking forward to this Chinese teenager can surprise us again!"
The player's box was very close to the field. No matter who he was playing against, Lu Dongxu always looked the same, with no expression on his face, and completed the game process step by step, never making any changes due to changes in opponents.
Every game is the most important one.
Looking at Lu Dongxu's calm look, Duan Chen suddenly relaxed. The words of the commentary go in one ear and out the other. Anyway, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will stay by his side.
After the pre-match warm-up was over, a coin toss was performed soon, and Lu Dongxu got the chance to serve first.
The referee said: "Quiet, please!"
Lu Dongxu walked near the bottom line, the camera zoomed in, and his handsome profile was cut out on the screen.The white tennis cap was lowered, casting a small shadow on his face, his eyes were deep.
All quiet.
The ball is thrown up, spins in the air, hits the racket, and draws a sharp arc!
Sotovic is tall, but his movement speed is not weak at all. When the ball arrives, his racket has already been swung out, and his iconic strong forehand is directly drawn.
Lu Dongxu's racket also arrived, but it was too late. At the same time, the well-trained caddy flew out to pick up the ball.
One hit score.
Referee: "0-15."
With the comparison, Duan Chen knows how fast the world's top players react and how fast the ball is.
Maybe the gap is only a few tenths of a second, but Lu Dongxu is indeed already slow.
Yan Jian sighed: "There is indeed a gap between Sotovic's level and Dongxu's previous opponent, and it is not small. Sure enough, he couldn't keep up with this speed at first."
Compared with players of the same age group and low world rankings, Lu Dongxu's speed is very fast, and compared with Lyles in the last round, he is also on par.
But now, before this indispensable top star, his speed has become his short rib.
This kind of defect is inevitable, because they have not been at the same level of competition for a long time.
Cruel, but also very real.
Duan Chen turned to look at Paul. He was also wearing a hat, propped his chin, didn't speak, just looked at the field.
The speed of Lu Dongxu's next few servings has not changed, but the starting speed of catching the ball seems to be much faster.
When the score reached 0-40, I saw Sotovic dexterously stepping and swinging the racket with a fake move. The ball flew to the right of Lu Dongxu, but at this time Lu Dongxu made a mistake in his prediction. left side of the field.
The ball landed calmly and flew away.
When the score reached 0-1, Lu Dongxu's first serve was broken.
Commentary A: "Sure enough, I was deceived..."
Commentary B: "As expected of a master tactician..."
Tennis matches are very tight, and the rest time between sets is only 2 minutes. Generally, the rest time between small rounds is only 20 seconds.
Duan Chen hadn't finished his heart yet, and Sotovic's serve had already begun.
On the first ball, the No. [-] player in the world hit an ACE!
The speedometer honestly shows: 220KM/H
Losing a set is always faster than expected.
If the rhythm of breaking serves is maintained, it only takes six rounds to win the next set, and a Lovegame can only take less than 2 minutes at the fastest.
Sotovic has been in the professional arena for seven years and has experienced many battles.He's also not in the habit of taking opponents lightly, and like all top players, he treats every game like it's the most important one.
In this regard, Lu Dongxu is also the same.
They are all used to winning point by point and winning to the end.
Respect the game, respect the opponent.
Lu Dongxu went to the net, Sotovic picked up the ball and attacked the backcourt.
Lu Dongxu hit an exquisite one-handed backhand, and Sotovic was prepared to catch the ball in return.
Lu Dongxu pulled out a straight line to cross, and Sotovic pulled out a strong topspin and crossed obliquely.
One move, the other unhurriedly dismantled, dismantled just right,
Commentary A: "Lu is slow again, and the score is tied. Let's see if Lu can keep this serve. If he loses this serve, the next game will be Sotovic's serve to win the game."
Commentary B: "Although the score is still 0-4, like Lu's last round, he seems to be adapting to the rhythm of the game. We can see that the time spent in each round is actually increasing."
Duan Chen frowned unconsciously, saying that he doesn't care about winning or losing, but when it comes to the competition, how could he really take it lightly?
Looking at Lu Dongxu again, this is the first time that the serve is evenly divided. To win it completely, he needs to score two points in a row.He picked the ball and got back to the baseline.
All quiet.
The audience is often more willing to lean towards the side that looks weaker, and Lu Dongxu is handsome, which is naturally more advantageous.Now that the general trend of this game is gone, what everyone is looking forward to now is that this young man can face a top star on the center court and completely win a serve game of his own.
When the ball came out, the yellow ball swept a slightly lower arc and hit the net in the middle, barely reaching the half court.
Referee: "One serve wipes the net, then re-try."
Lu Dongxu just glanced at the opposite side, served the ball again, and the ball came out.
Online review: "OUT!"
Referee: "One out of bounds, two out."
Duan Chen thought to himself, my dear, don't make double mistakes at this time!
Lu Dongxu pursed his lips, served the ball for the third time, and when the ball arrived, the sharp voice of the line judge sounded again: "OUT!"
Boos all over the place.
The referee's voice is eternally calm: "Double fault, 40-AD."
The camera gave a close-up of Lu Dongxu, but the boy just froze, turned around, took the towel handed by the caddy to wipe his sweat, and played his next serve as if nothing had happened.
Duan Chen felt that he was the one who was embarrassed when he heard the boos.This ball game held on the central court will be broadcast live on TV stations in more than [-] countries. Lu Dongxu's embarrassment will be magnified in the eyes of the whole world.
Duan Chen couldn't stand it anymore.
He had always known that tennis was a one-person sport, but now he hated it to death.Xiao Lu was being bullied. After the game, he didn't know what kind of group ridicule he was going to experience, but he could only stay on the sidelines and could do nothing.
The game was not saved in the end, and Sotovic won the first set 10 minutes later.
The score was brutal: 0-6.
The 2 minute break is gone in a blink of an eye.Lu Dongxu wants to keep up with Sotovic's rhythm, and it is obviously unrealistic to only rely on half an hour of a game.
I have to admit that the world's No. [-] player is superior in skills, and there is nothing to choose in terms of tactics and willpower.
Commentator A and commentator B sang and sang, talked about the ball for a while, and talked about it for a while, and it didn't take long for a game to be halfway through.At this stage, the excitement of the packed Center Court has almost faded away.
Duan Chen looked at the court with a numb face, still thinking about those gangsters on the Internet.At this time, Li Qingzhou, who was sitting on the side, suddenly said: "Well, there seems to be something going on in this game."
Lu Dongxu just scored a point in his serve: 30-15.
Commentator A said disappointedly: "Sotovic made a mistake."
An expert looking at the doorway, Duan Chen quickly discovered that it was indeed a mistake, a mistake in judgment.
Naturally, the eyes of the two commentators will not compare
