Everything happened too fast just now, Xiao Yao almost relied on the instinctive reaction of years of martial arts practice to punch the tennis ball out, and he didn't feel too much, and he didn't know that the tennis ball was blown up by his punch. When he saw the close-up on the big screen at the scene, Xiao Yao himself was taken aback. Seeing that the big screen at the scene cut to his own picture again, Xiao Yao smiled and raised his right hand that had just punched, and repeated it several times with his fist open, indicating that his hand was completely fine.

Li Ai saw Xiao Yao's movements through the big screen, put the tennis racket held in his right hand under the armpit of his left arm, freed his right hand, raised his right hand with a smile and gave a thumbs up in Xiao Yao's direction, and then handed the broken ball to the referee on the sidelines.

The referee took the tennis ball and looked at it, first with a surprised expression, then with a wry smile. According to the rules of the tennis game, it was originally necessary to replace a batch of new balls after this game, but now that the game has been played for most of the game, the referee did not let them add a new ball, but asked them to use the remaining balls to finish the game and then replace them together.

After this episode, the game continued.

It seemed that this accident interrupted Kapnova's good form, and the next ball, Li Ai won again, turning the score into 40-40 Deuce, and successfully saved her two break points. Subsequently, Li Ai scored two points in a row to keep his crucial serve and turn the game to 3-4.

After changing a batch of match balls, both of them played normally, and neither completed the break, but Kapunova was in the lead in this set, so in the end Kapunova also pulled back a set with a 6-4 game.

The first two sets were tied at 1-1, and then the third and final deciding set was played.

Before the start of the deciding set, Li Ai also applied for coaching guidance. Hearing the referee's notice, Rodriguez patted Xiao Yao's shoulder gratefully again, then quickly got up and left the audience and ran into the arena.

"We saw that Li Ai applied for a coach to enter the stadium for guidance!" Xin Tong said as he looked at the broadcast screen, "This is very rare in Li Ai's previous games." It seems that Li Ai really attaches great importance to this final. ”

"This is indeed a very rare situation for Li Ai," Ding Sheng commented, and then smiled, "I don't know if it was the accident that almost hit the coach in tennis just now, which reminded Li Ai of her coach sitting in the audience during the tense game." ”

"Whether it was the accident just now that made Li Ai remember, but in any case, Li Ai's master and apprentice and we, the audience, should be grateful to Xiao Yao. Xin Tong smiled, "If it weren't for Xiao Yao, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to see that scene." ”

"That's true. Ding Sheng said, "It's a pity that the speed meter in the arena only shows the speed of the player's serve, not the speed of the player's shot in the game." Kapnova's highest speed on the serve was more than 190 kilometers per hour, and although the catch would not be as fast as the serve, it was estimated that it would not be much worse, and if the ball hit Rodriguez directly in the face, I am afraid he would not be able to stay in the audience and watch the game, let alone enter the court now. ”

"If Li Ai's performance can be significantly improved after Coach Rodriguez's guidance and then win this final, I think Xiao Yao will also be one of the heroes of Li Ai's game. Xin Tong said with a smile.

"Xiao Yao has brought good luck to Coach Rodriguez, and I hope he can also bring good luck to Li Ai. Ding Sheng said, "Well, the break is over, and the final deciding set is about to start." ”

At the referee's prompt, Rodriguez stood up from in front of Li Ai. Before leaving, Rodriguez, who had already finished explaining, suddenly added: "Young just told me that he has been counting your stats, Capnova made more forehand errors than backhands today, and you should attack more forehand positions that she is better at." I haven't counted, I'm not sure if that's the case, you're on the field, you should feel more and judge for yourself. ”

Tennis is not like soccer and basketball, where the coach in the audience does not necessarily have the opportunity to enter the court to coach the players, and generally does not do those statistics. These things have special personnel and agency statistics, and the broadcaster can get these real-time data, which will be shown to the audience between games and sets, and the commentators and commentators will also discuss it, but no tennis coach will listen to the live broadcast while watching the game live to pay attention to those specific data, so Rodriguez's grasp and interpretation of the game is also relatively macroscopic.

Xiao Yao is different, his super memory allows him to review the previous games at any time, and it is not difficult to mentally calculate the data of the two players. Xiao Yao's most interested sports are football, basketball and tennis, although he can only play basketball, football and tennis are pure fans, but there is a professional tennis coach sitting next to him, Xiao Yao also took advantage of every ball, every game and every game to ask Rodriguez a lot of questions. In the process of communicating between the two, Xiao Yao also unconsciously said the data he counted and some of his own opinions. He just said his own opinions, and he didn't mean to guide Li Ai, but this did not prevent Rodriguez from telling Li Ai what Xiao Yao said.

"Okay, I see, I'll keep an eye on it!" Li Ai nodded.

Rodriguez left, and the third set of the deciding set officially began.

In the first half of the third set, the two played quite closely. Although in terms of scores, Li Ai scored more points than Kapnova, but it was not reflected in the game points.

In a game, if you score four points, let the opponent score two points is also to win the game, let the opponent not have one point to win the game, or in the case that both sides score no less than three points, win the opponent by two more points is also win the game. Li Ai's serve game is very smooth, usually winning her opponent's service game at 0 or 15 points, while Kapanova often allows Li Ai to play 30 points, or even 40 points deucede before holding serve. Overall, Li Ai clearly had the upper hand over Kapnova, but the truth was that neither of them managed to break the other's serve.

In the first six games, the two played to a 3-3 draw. The seventh game was Li Ai's serve, and Li Ai successfully held serve again, smoothly turning the total game score into 4-3. The next game was Kapnova's serve, and Li Ai once again made an effort to break serve.

And from this game, Li Ai's tactics have also undergone some changes. Kapnova's forehand is a strong point, and Li Ai's previous games have attacked Kapnova's backhand position more, but in this game, Li Ai began to stare at Kapnova's forehand attack.

This risky move allowed Kapnova to hit two good shots in a row and score two points in a row at the start of the game. Unfazed, Li Ai continued to attack Kapnova's forehand on the third ball. Kapnova then made a mistake on her forehand and pulled a less difficult ball out of bounds. Next, Li Ai continued to attack Kapnova's forehand, and Kapunova unexpectedly made two consecutive forehand return errors, one out of bounds and one into the net, allowing Li Ai to overtake the small score 40-30 and also get a key break point.

If Li Ai can successfully break serve in this game, he can rewrite the game score to 5-3, and then it will be Li Ai's own service game, as long as he keeps it, he can win this game. On this key ball, Kapnova made a mistake in the first serve, and in order to stabilize the second serve, the speed and landing point of a ball were relatively average, and Li Ai, who was already ready to attack, directly hit the ball to the bottom corner of Kapnova's forehand. Kapunova, who rushed to the bottom corner, received the ball, but her movements were a little deformed, and the tennis ball flew slowly and high into the air.

Li Ai, who judged that the tennis ball landed in his own half, quickly ran to his net, stared at the tennis ball in the air and made the action of leading the racket early, and without waiting for the tennis ball to land, he directly drew the tennis ball back. The ball had good speed and angle, and Kapnova, who was standing in the middle of the baseline, was completely powerless against this ball.

Li Ai successfully broke the serve, and the situation was very obviously on Li Ai's side. The audience also burst into loud applause and cheers.

Now the game is 5-3, Li Ai is ahead, and then Li Ai's serve is next, as long as there are no big mistakes and keep this serve, this game can be won. Xin Tong in the comment table also said excitedly.

"Yes, now Li Ai has a great advantage. Ding Sheng nodded and began to analyze Li Ai's tactics in this game, "Li Ai played very aggressively in this game! We can see that in several balls in this game, Li Ai played Kapnova's forehand. Kapnova's forehand is very powerful, and Li Ai is actually a more risky approach, but he didn't expect Kapnova's forehand to make several mistakes in a row. ”

"Actually, there are traces of this. Xin Tong on the side looked at the data given in the broadcast screen and said, "The data shows that so far in this game, Kapnova's forehand has made several more active errors than her backhand." Even if you don't count this game, there are more forehand errors than backhands. Although we spectators don't feel it very obviously, Li Ai on the court must have this feeling, so he suddenly stared at Kapnova's forehand to play, and insisted on hitting the opponent's forehand when the first two goals were lost. ”

"Yes," Ding Sheng nodded, "Li Ai, a top international player, is not only very good in terms of technique, but also at the top level in terms of judgment and execution. ”

Finally won the last break, and Li Ai did not let the victory slip away from his hands. In the next game, Li Ai successfully held her serve and won the deciding set with a score of 6-3 to become the women's singles champion of this competition.

As Kapnova returned the ball out of bounds, Li Ai clenched her fists excitedly and yelled, and the audience also let out a burst of cheers.

After walking to the net and shaking hands with the opponent and the referee, Li Ai happily waved to the audience, took off the bracer on his wrist, and threw it to the audience. In the area where the bracers landed, countless hands immediately stretched out and grabbed the bracers flying in the air.

This was followed by the award ceremony. Li Ai, who was holding the championship trophy, also accepted a brief interview with the host and said a winning speech. In addition to thanking his family, team and audience, Li Ai also made a special mention of Xiao Yao, who came to the scene to watch the game today. thanked Xiao Yao for his punch at a critical time, and also joked that if Xiao Yao was not a big star, he would definitely hire Xiao Yao as his bodyguard, which also caused the audience to laugh happily.

After the medal ceremony, Li Ai and Kapnova returned to the players' lounge. The audience began to leave, and Xiao Yao followed Li Ai's team members back to Li Ai's players' lounge.

"Congratulations!" After entering the lounge, Xiao Yao congratulated Li Aidao as soon as possible.

"Thank you!" Li Ai happily stepped forward and took the initiative to hug Xiao Yao, "Thanks to you today!"

"You play well yourself, what does it have to do with me?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"One, it's a shame that you sat next to Gabi and helped him play that tennis ball, otherwise he would have been on the court at the end of the second set. Li Ai smiled and said, "Second, thanks to your artificial data recorder, I remember that she made a lot of forehand mistakes today, otherwise I wouldn't have risked attacking Natasha's forehand in the eighth game in a row, forcing her to make consecutive mistakes and complete the only break in the third set." ”

"Hehe," Xiao Yao smiled, "Blocking tennis is a conditioned reflex of the body, and those data were talked about when chatting with Mr. Rodriguez, and I didn't expect it to help." But I'm glad I could help you!"

Xiao Yao is not Li Ai's coach, and he will not interfere with Li Ai's tactical guidance. That sentence was just mentioned to Rodriguez when he expressed his opinion when chatting with him, and he didn't ask Rodriguez to tell Li Ai, but Li Ai could benefit from it, and Xiao Yao was naturally very happy.
