Chapter 122: Strengthening pre-network technology
After seeing the news brought by Coach Zhang, Li Cai just smiled, said that he knew, and said to Coach Zhang: "If it's just like this, I'll win." ”
After Li Cai finished speaking, he left Coach Zhang with a puzzled face and returned to his room.
The characteristics of the net-based style of play are to create opportunities for themselves to go online by serving or following the ball to the net, and then limit the opponent's baseline volley through volleys in front of the net and high pressure, so as to score directly or cause a short-handed midfield fight. The serve net is the main tactic of the net player in the service game, which can be subdivided into "artistic" serve and "power" serve according to the serving technique.
The "artistic" serve to the net is represented by Raft and Edberg, who have a very strong spin on their serves, and for this reason, at the expense of ball speed, the topspin serve can jump high over the shoulders of the receiver, forcing the opponent to hit the ball at a height that is difficult to exert power, and quickly go to the net, using excellent net skills to win this point.
The "strong" serve to the net, which is represented by Ivanisevic and Sampras, whose strong serve can often score directly, at least destroy the quality of the opponent's return with ball speed, and then score easily at the net.
And Li Cai belongs to the "artistic" serve to the net, not the "strong" serve to the net.
Li Cai, who returned to the room, turned on the system, ready to strengthen his tennis ability to cope with tomorrow's match.
It has been so long since he became a professional tennis player, and Li Cai also understands that the net-based style of play is basically going extinct, and most of them are bottom-line style of play, or even all-round style of play.
The net-to-serve and net-to-net techniques are now only used as a tactic.
The most traditional and ornamental tennis technique of serving the net is disappearing.
In Li Cai's view, there are many factors, the first is that after the change of venues, there are more and more hard court events and fewer and fewer grass court events. The net of the serve was born because of the grass, and the extreme scarcity of the grass game has also directly led to the discontinuation and extinction of the "grass experts" who are good at the net of the serve. The rapid expansion of hard-court events has also allowed hard-court play, which is more powerful, to be played on dirt and grass.
And the All England Grass Club has been working to improve the quality of the turf, replacing the hard-wearing grass species, and trimming the turf shorter, which has made the Wimbledon grass firmer, the ball bouncer higher and more regular, and in short, more like a natural hard surface, all of which are more conducive to baseline volleys and more rounds, but it will be more and more difficult for net-players to score.
The second is that the progress of golf technology has brought about a comprehensive innovation in tennis play, and it is very difficult to hit high-speed heavy balls at the bottom line. And now the racket technology is very easy to hit a high-speed heavy ball, and there is no need to take the risk of making a mistake in the net, the angle is open, the so-called vigorous miracle, a force down ten will, it will be very sad to wear the net-type master, and even the reaction time to fight back can not be done.
Ten years ago, Agassi's return skills were unrivaled, but now there is more than one "hair extension expert" who can reach his level: Federer, Nadal, Murray, Djokovic, Davydenko, Ferrer, Nalbandian, Hewitt...... At the time, Agassi relied more on talent to stand on the baseline, mainly for his outstanding reaction speed and hand-eye coordination, but now players can use high-tech rackets to defuse the pressure of ball speed with a farther position, and blast a return serve that is faster and more spinning than Agassi two meters behind the baseline.
Even Li Cai himself knows how to play on the bottom line, but it's not very good, and it is more dependent on the mastery of tennis skills and tennis movement speed given by the system to play.
Because in the current "speed limit standard", the chipping ball is too slow, not allowed on the road at all, whether you cut a straight line or a diagonal line, the opponent can run in place to implement the crossing, you don't want to hit, if it weren't for Li Cai's zero chipping ball has characteristics, if it doesn't bounce, it can't be used.
Li Cai thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't make up his mind, and he didn't know whether he wanted to stick to the net-based play, or use the system to strengthen the bottom-line technology, or even become an all-round play.
Li Cai struggled for a long time, but decided to go to the net style of play.
There are two reasons for this.
The first is that Li Cai is only fourteen years old now, and his body has not yet developed, although he has the blessing of systematic talent, but compared with these adults, his physical strength, strength and explosiveness are still a little worse, and he completely relies on superb tennis skills and serve to win the game.
If you play a baseline match, it will take a long time, and it will be more likely to get injured.
This is also what Li Cai does not want to see.
The second reason is that the online style of play is almost gone.
Li Cai is a person who advocates offense, and his net-based style of play is very much in line with his own requirements, if Li Cai can rely on his style of play in front of the net, in the tennis world where the bottom-line style of play is king, and dominate the world tennis world, he can leave a name in history.
After all, scarcity is expensive.
Time has been changing the sport, and the decline of the serve to the net is not something that has happened in recent years. When Edberg retired in 1996, we lamented once – the graceful volley gentleman was gone, again when Becker retired in 1999 – the originator of the cannonball serve was gone, again when Sampras retired in 2003 – the last patron saint of the serve and net was gone, and when Henman retired in 2007, we were not sighing, but mourning – the net was dead.
If Li Cai can go against the trend of the times and carry forward the serve on the net, he will basically leave a name in the history of tennis.
People always have to be a little different, and if they were similar to everyone else, not many people would remember themselves.
Li Cai knows this truth very well, and after discovering that there is only the skill of the bottom line technology in the system skills, he will prepare a dream lottery, and he will not give up if he does not draw the technology of serving the net, anyway, Li Cai now has more than 500,000 achievement points, and he can draw more than 50 times, and there is no shortage of achievement points.
Li Cai has already figured out the rules of the system, just like in many games, ten consecutive draws must come up with a skill.
Li Cai first spent 100,000 achievement points and conducted a ten-draw draw.
As a result, two skills came out.
One is a red-grade charged serve, and the other is a blue-grade ancient scattered hand technique.
Seeing a tennis-related skill, Li Cai immediately checked it, and the ancient scattered hand skill that was drawn was put in the skill column by Li Cai, and he didn't even look at it, he didn't care at all.
Charged serve: The serve can be charged, and the speed can reach 220 kilometers per hour without charging, and the maximum speed can reach 280 kilometers per hour.
Seeing the introduction of this skill, Li Cai's eyes instantly lit up, this is really the serve he wants.
Net-playing players rely on serving and playing with the ball, Li is an "artistic" player, focusing on the net with the ball, while a "strong" player is biased towards serving and scoring directly.
And this charged serve really makes up for the shortcomings of Li Cai's poor serving speed, and can combine the "artistic" and "powerful" of serving the net, playing more tricks, and not easy to be targeted by opponents.
Seeing that he had won a good serve, Li was ready to draw a dream ten consecutive draws, so he stopped drawing.
After spending another 100,000 achievement points, after drawing a fantasy ten consecutive draws, only one skill appeared.
However, without waiting for Li Cai to be disappointed, the skills that appeared were golden orange skills, full-level skills, and there was no need to upgrade them in the flower achievement points.
Li Cai hurriedly checked it out, hoping that it was a tennis-related skill, preferably a skill that served and netted.
Li Cai closed his eyes, prayed for ten seconds, and then opened the skill to take a look.
"Haha, I've finally gotten rid of the luck of the African chiefs and ushered in a new life. ”
After seeing the skill, Li Cai directly shouted in surprise.
This time the dream ten consecutive draws, Li Cai's orange skill was an impeccable volley.
As a player who serves the net, he naturally has to be good at volleying in front of the net, Li Cai does not have a volley skill yet, and when he saw that according to his own thoughts, a volley skill came out, Li Cai was naturally happy, and felt that the system was no longer pitting himself.
It took 200,000 achievement points to draw the skills he wanted, and Li Cai still had more than 300,000 achievement points left.
Seeing that there were still so many achievement points, Li Cai was ready to upgrade the red-grade charged serve he had just drawn to an orange grade.
After spending 150,000 achievement points to upgrade the charged serve, Li Cai still has 180,000 achievement points.
Li Cai found that there was no place to use achievement points, so he kept the achievement points and prepared to use the time room twice in the semi-finals and finals.
