Chapter 66: Satellite Champion

Back to Shangjing

Li Cai began his daily training to strengthen his physical fitness, and refused to relax.

Satellites are awarded points to determine the places in the fourth round.

Li Cai won all the first two races and took the lead with the first points.

Li Cai only needs to win one race in the third leg to secure a place in the fourth round.

In the third leg of the satellite competition, Li Cai also easily won the victory and successfully entered the fourth stop.

Because the fourth game is a knockout round, it is not ranked according to points, and you have to win all the way.

However, Li Cai was not worried at all, in the first three races, Li Cai found that the other players were very average, and only one named Ning Hao was more powerful.

And coach Carlos also helped Li Cai collect Ning Hao's information, and found that Ning Hao actually had a lot of points, and he was just about to play a low-level ATP tour, he was an experienced professional tennis player, and he was a member of the national team tennis team.

It seems that he wants to get some points in a place like a satellite where there are no masters, so that he can participate in ATP events.

It's a pity, the dream is beautiful, the reality is cruel, if Li Cai is here, how can he get his wish.

In a hotel, Ning Hao was holding the information collected by his coach and watching it casually.

When I saw Li Cai's winning record, I took a closer look, and found that Li Cai was a newcomer, and it was the first time to participate in the competition, so I didn't care too much, thinking that Li Cai was just a lucky person, and he didn't meet anything powerful.

And just as Ning Hao was about to go to rest, there was a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, I found that it was my coach.

Ning Hao asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Coach Yu said to Ning Hao: "In this satellite tournament, there is a 12-year-old kid named Li Cai, who won the first three matches and is a tennis genius." You have to be careful!"

Ning Hao said: "I know, I have read the information just now, even if it is a genius, I don't have any competition experience, what is there to worry about." ”

Coach Yu listened, hurriedly waved his hand, and said: "Li Cai, this kid is not simple, I checked his information, he is the first person to go to the game, don't you know the uproar of the withdrawal incident some time ago?"

Ning Hao heard this and said in surprise: "I thought it was just the same name, but I didn't expect it to be the same person! However, how did he play tennis, and the General Administration of Sports also gave him the right to participate." ”

Ning Hao, as a member of the domestic national team tennis team, is a person in the system, and has heard the news that the General Administration of Sports is going to ban Li Cai.

Coach Yu said: "People have a hard background, what can be done, his teacher Nie Whirlwind is hard against his apprentice, I didn't see it, the former leader of the chess academy stepped down like this." ”

Ning Hao was still puzzled: "Then what do you want me to pay attention to, even if he is a genius, this tennis is not Go, it is far from it, he can still be so powerful, in tennis, he is just a rookie." ”

Coach Yu waved his hand and said: "Within the General Administration of Sports, there are still opinions on Li Cai, but he has a hard relationship and there is nothing to do about him, so when you meet him in the game, you should hit his self-confidence hard, and it is best to let him fall and get up." ”

Ning Hao felt amused and said: "He is also the first person to play Go, he has participated in countless competitions, and his psychological quality is excellent, how can he be hit by this thing, even if he is a child now, he can't be treated as an ordinary child!"

Coach Yu spread his hands and said with a very helpless look: "Of course I know, but this is what the leader above said, I just paraphrased it, I just want you to win the game, win the beautiful show, and invite reporters to report, so I want you to pay attention." ”

Ning Hao heard that there would be a reporter reporting on this satellite event, and his face became serious.

Originally, there were no reporters to report on a low-level competition like a satellite competition, and there was nothing to worry about, but now after the intervention of the General Administration of Sports, things have become complicated.

Soon, the competition reached the final.

Not surprisingly, it was Li Cai and Ning Hao who entered the finals.

The finals begin.

Li Cai serves first, and in the service game of the game, Li Cai generally uses a skill - external rotation serve.

In the finals, every point must be sought, and Li Cai naturally has to come up with the strongest means.

With a bang, the tennis ball was vigorously beaten out by Li Cai, although the ball speed was relatively fast, but for an experienced tennis player like Ning Hao, it was nothing at all.

Seeing that the ball landed and spun up, Ning Hao knew that it was a topspin serve, adjusted his movements, and swung the racket to knock the tennis ball out.

"Oops. ”

As soon as the racket in Ning Hao's hand touched the tennis ball, the ball was spinning strongly, and Ning Hao knew that his swing was small, and it was estimated that he would not be able to hit the net.

Sure enough, the ball touched the net and didn't hit it, and Li served to score.

Ning Hao didn't catch the next two balls, and it wasn't until the fourth ball that he adjusted and hit back, but Li Cai was already ready, moved directly to the net, and hit the ball to the other side, so that Ning Hao couldn't react.

The score becomes 1:0.

Ning Hao's serve, Ning Hao's serve is a flat serve, which is the fastest way to serve, also known as cannonball-style serve.

Although the ball speed was very fast, Li Cai easily played back, after all, he was a top Go player, and Li Cai's brain nerve reaction was the top.

After the ball was hit back, Li Cai went to the net with the ball.

Li Cai's tennis style prefers to go up to the net, so that he can better fight back.

After a few back and forths, Lee broke serve to score.

2:0

Ning Hao's expression began to become solemn, he didn't expect Li Cai's strength to be so strong, his tennis skills are all standard and correct, there is no mistake at all, and his tennis skills are also very rich, and he is easy to use with the skills of following the ball and the net, not at all like a novice and a person who participates in the competition for the first time.

In the next innings, Li Cai relied on the out-spin serve and easily kept the serve.

In the end, Li Cai won the first game with a score of 6:3.

The first inning is over with a short break.

Ning Hao sat on a stool, drinking a sports drink, recovering his strength.

Coach Yu on the side said: "Ning Hao, when you serve, don't let him easily go to the net, he is a net-type player, you have to play more on the bottom line, play with him on the bottom line, consume his physical strength, play with him with your rich experience, play more deep balls and balls with large angles, and suppress him on the bottom line." ”

Ning Hao listened, did not speak, just nodded, knowing that he understood.

The second game began.

Ning Hao served and hit the ball more quickly, so that Li Cai had no chance to go to the net and play on the bottom line.

Bottom-line matchups test tennis players' physical strength and patience even more.

Although Li Cai is good at the front of the net, the bottom line is not bad.

followed Ning Hao to start fighting on the bottom line, Li Cai was inexperienced after all, and was hit by the experienced Ning Hao a few times and won the service game.

It was Li Cai's turn to serve, and Li Cai used his strong external rotation serve to win a point smoothly.

The score became 1:1

In this way, the scores alternated, and they all scored points on their own serve.

When the score is 4:4.

Ning Hao's serve, Li Cai was already out of breath, after all, age is here, even if he has the talent of superior endurance, he can't compare to an adult.

There is no way, the longer the fight, the more unfavorable it will be to Li Cai.

Li Cai had no choice but to use the skill-Ice World.

The reason why Li Cai does not use this skill often in the Ice World is that it consumes too much physical strength and spirit, and with Li Cai's current physical strength, he can't last too long, ten minutes at most.

After opening the Ice World, Li saw Ning Hao's weaknesses clearly.

In this game, Li Cai hit the ball to Ning Hao's weakness, which made Ning Hao extremely uncomfortable, and there were various mistakes, which were broken by Li Cai.

Seeing that Li Cai had scored in his own service game, Ning Hao's heart tightened, knowing that it was going to be bad.

It's Li Cai's turn to serve, as long as Li Cai keeps his serve and is not broken by Ning Hao, he will win this game and win this game, and he doesn't have to play overtime.

Thinking of this, Li Cai's serve was even more aggressive.

As for Ning Hao, after being broken by Li Cai, his heart was in turmoil, and he became more impatient.

And after Li Cai opened the Ice World, he saw it clearly in his eyes, and found that Ning Hao's weaknesses became more obvious and more.

Soon, under the two skills of Ice World and External Rotation Serve, Li Cai easily won the service game, making the score of the second game 6:4, winning the game and winning the satellite championship.

After winning the championship, Li won his first tennis title.

It's only a satellite and the prize money and ATP points are small, but at least it's a good start.

After Li Cai received the award, when he was about to leave, a group of reporters came and slapped Li Cai violently.

Then he asked Li Cai: "Li Cai, can you tell me the reason, you withdrew from the game in Go, did not participate in the competition, gave up your position as the first person in Go, and went to play tennis, why is this?"

Li Cai listened, pondered for a moment, and said: "Go is no longer a challenge for me, so I want to challenge in other fields, after all, I am still so young, of course, I have not given up Go, I have spent time every day to practice and study, and when there is an opponent worthy of me in the Go world, I will re-compete." ”

Li Cai's remarks, although arrogant, are also true.

The reporters listened, but they did not refute it, and there was no way to refute it.

After all, where is Li Cai's achievements in Go, he has not lost a single game in which he has participated and won all the championships.

After the reporters asked Li Cai a few questions, Li Cai left.

Although Li Cai left, a reporter sighed: "I didn't expect to get such big news in the tennis satellite." ”

After finishing speaking, he glanced around and found that the reporters around him had left. Only then did I wake up and report back to the club as soon as possible and release first-hand news.

After winning the satellites, Li returned home and prepared to relax for the day.

What Li Cai didn't know was that there was already a lot of noise on the Internet, and it was all about himself.
