'Tomorrow against Nadal, you have to be ready to play away, Nadal is a Spaniard after all. Coach Zhang continued: "This is France, Europe, not Asia, and France and Spain are two neighboring countries, from Madrid to Paris, it only costs 60 euros by car, and it only takes one or two hours to get there by plane." ”

"So in tomorrow's game, there will definitely be a lot of Spanish spectators. Another point is that Nadal has been famous for a long time, he has won five Grand Slams at the French Open, he is known as the "King of Clay", he has a lot of fans in France, and you only win one Grand Slam at the French Open, it is far less than him, you have to be prepared!"

Li Cai already understands this matter very well, he has already felt it once in the French Open last year, and even when he is playing in European and American countries, even if the opponent is weaker than him and his reputation is lower than himself, there are still many people who support them instead of supporting him, so Li Cai has become accustomed to it.

The next day, before the start of the French Open semifinals, Li Cai was still the same, and the reporter interviewed him after a few perfunctory strokes and left.

And when Nadal was interviewed, he was naturally asked by reporters whether he had the confidence to defeat Li Cai.

After all, Li Cai also beat him in the semi-finals last year to win his first Grand Slam trophy, and this year's situation is exactly the same as last year, which is why they raised the question.

"You can't step into the same river twice, I won't lose to Li Cai in the same place, and if he still plays against me the way he played last year, I will definitely win. ”

In response to reporters, Nadal used the words of the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus, although the situation this year is similar to last year, in Nadal's view, it is just like Heraclitus said: nothing in the universe is absolutely static and unchanging, everything is moving and changing.

The same is true for tennis, even if the game is the same as last year, his strength and Li Cai's strength are constantly changing, and it is impossible to remain the same as last year.

…………

Back in the French Open semifinals, Lee had already started his first-round serve.

At the beginning of the match, Li Cai did not intend to hide his strength, and did not use the charged serve restricted by the clay court, that is, his signature high-speed serve, but used his first serve, the external rotation serve.

The tennis ball flew over the net, and then Nadal caught the ball and touched the net, and Lee scored easily.

Li Cai did not use the high-speed serve he used in the previous game, but topspin the serve, which made Nadal, who had been preparing to deal with Li Cai's high-speed serve, be caught off guard, even if he received the ball, but the action was very deformed, resulting in a direct touch to the net and did not hit.

It seems that my previous worries were unnecessary, and Li Cai was not affected by the atmosphere on the court, which led to the abnormal performance of his strength. The narrator spoke in real time.

Next, Li Cai continued to use external rotation to serve, and after three beats of hold with Nadal, Li Cai made a quick slide and a wide range of forehand transfers to score another point.

However, Nadal obviously did not rush to chase this ball, but symbolically ran two steps and stopped, obviously adapting to Li Cai's style of play and studying the flaws in Li Cai's style of play.

After all, this is the first game of the game between the two sides, in the face of an opponent of Li Cai's level, Nadal, as a receiver, did not plan to break in the first game, or to warm up and adapt, so there is no need to chase every ball, after all, tennis requires a lot of running, and a lot of large movements need to be made in the game, if the warm-up is insufficient, it is still easy to get injured, although Nadal's own physical strength is enduring, but it is also limited, not superhuman physical strength is unlimited, so in the case of uncertainty, do not follow Li Cai's rhythm, waste your physical strength in vain。

Li Cai also needs to warm up to adapt to the game, but Li Cai has played against Nadal many times in the system and already knows it well, so the time to warm up and adapt to the game is much less, and he can get into the game faster and find his own rhythm of the game.

In the first game, when the score came to 40-0 and Li Cai got the match point of the service game, Nadal gradually began to find his form, and he understood Li Cai's style of play a little, he pulled the score to 40-15, but finally conceded a goal, allowing Li Cai to temporarily lead 1-0.

In the second game between the two sides, Nadal's form continued to pick up, although he did not send an ace, nor did he serve to score directly, but the perfect forehand with the initiative to attack, he still won his own serve game relatively easily, and the two sides drew 1-1.

After two rounds, although the score of the two sides is 1-1, both sides know that the real game has just begun, the first two games, for the players on both sides, can be said to be a warm-up process, can also be said to be a process of testing each other, and then, the real fierce confrontation officially began.

Through the feelings of the previous rounds and last year's game, Nadal knew that Li Cai's physical strength was not as good as his own, and if he hadn't fallen too far behind in the score last year, and he didn't know Li Cai, he would not have lost the game.

Therefore, in this match, Nadal decided to give full play to his physical strength, intending to consume Li Cai alive.

It's a pity that Li Cai has upgraded his talent with superior endurance to the orange grade, and his physical strength is no longer a shortcoming, plus a year of growth and training in the Time House.

Li Cai's current physical strength is no longer what it used to be, it can be said that it is at the pervert level, and it will not be worse than Nadal.

At the beginning of the third game, Li Cai began to take the lead, scoring with an ace, but then on the second ball, Li Cai encountered strong resistance from Nadal.

"Sure enough, as I expected, Li Cai plans to fight a quick battle and win in one fell swoop, but this time, Li Cai, your idea is destined to fail, I will definitely fight a war of attrition with you and grind it slowly. ”

Nadal chose to land very close to the edge, but he still hit the ball in a steady direction, and Nadal increased the spin of the ball, and the tennis ball with strong topspin always bounced high when it landed. When Li Cai hit back with his forehand, he felt that the ball was so uncomfortable to catch, and the quality of the return shot dropped a lot.

"This ball is so difficult to control!" Although Li Cai has taught Nadal's difficult topspin many times in the Time House, he still underestimated Nadal's forehand spin in the game, and the ball return was a little short, and Nadal seized the opportunity to counterattack.

However, after staying in the time room for so long, Li Cai also understands Nadal very thoroughly, Nadal's backhand still has a strong spin, but it can't compare to his forehand topspin, so Li Cai intends to target this.

And Nadal rarely uses a backhand, so he tries to get his own speed into place if he can, and then spins back with a forehand.

"Don't think you're the only one who can hit the ball with high spin!" Lee said with a powerful volley, and this time, he was also prepared to use the topspin against Nadal.

In the time room, Li Cai has been guided by Nadal, and his experience of topspin is also very powerful, and it can be said that he will not be weaker than himself.

The tennis ball leaped over the net, and Nadal moved nimbly to the spot where he received the ball.

The next moment, the tennis ball bounced high and rushed straight at the top of Nadal's head, making it impossible for him to hit back a high-quality return shot.

"Topspin, such a strong topspin!Isn't Li Cai not good at forehand spin!" Nadal exclaimed in his heart.

"What a strong topspin ball! Is this Li Cai's killer feature!" Nadal was shocked, he had already judged from the height of the ball that it bounced up after hitting the ground, it was an extremely fast spinning ball, and at the same time he had an extremely familiar feeling.
