Chapter 65: The First Battle
The next day, Li Cai and his entourage came to the competition venue.
Satellite tournaments are played on hard courts and are the most common type of competition courts.
There are four types of tennis courts: grass, hard court, mud and carpet, but because the carpet court is very damaging to the joints of tennis players, in order to reduce the injury to players, in 09 ATP canceled various carpet matches, which also made carpet courts history.
Hard court is the most common and common court, because the surface of the court is flat, the hardness is high, and the bounce of the ball is very regular, so the rebound speed of the ball is very fast, and it is the venue with the highest requirements for the comprehensive ability of players.
The player drew lots, and Li Cai's opponent was named Zhang Lei, a newcomer, and like Li Cai, it was the first time to participate in a tennis satellite.
Zhang Lei looked at Li Cai and felt very familiar, and always felt that he had seen Li Cai somewhere, but the information showed that Li Cai, like himself, was a newcomer and played a satellite for the first time.
Zhang Lei didn't expect that Li Cai was the first person to make the General Administration of Sports go uproar some time ago.
After all, there are so many differences between Go and tennis that there is basically no connection, Go is a static sport, just sit in a chair and use your brain to think about the calculated sports. Tennis, on the other hand, is a dynamic sport in which players are physically challenged by moving back and forth on the court to catch the ball.
The only thing that is connected between the two sports is physical strength.
After a game of Go, for a few hours, you will definitely not be able to hold on without sufficient physical strength, and if you feel dizzy when playing chess, you will be prone to mistakes, and one step in Go will be lost.
And tennis is even more so, as a dynamic sport, it needs to run back and forth, and after a game, even if it is fast, it will take dozens of minutes. In dozens of minutes, it is necessary to maintain concentration at all times and run at high intensity, which is a major test of the physical strength of the players.
Back in the game, Li guessed the coin and started to serve first.
The race is on.
Li Cai held the racket in his right hand and slapped the tennis ball on the ground with his left hand, ready to serve.
Before serving, Lee used a tennis skill – an outspin serve.
I saw Li Cai throw the ball high, lean back, squat slightly on his knees, and hit the tennis ball out hard when the ball fell in front of his head.
"Bang. ”
The tennis ball bounced in front of Zhang Lei, and Zhang Lei was still standing stunned, completely unresponsive.
It wasn't until the referee said ace that he came to his senses.
In tennis, an ace is a serve in which one of the two players in the game serves, and the ball lands in the effective area, but the opponent does not touch the ball and scores directly.
And Zhang Lei's coach on the sidelines said: "Zhang Lei, why are you stunned, give me a serious beating!"
Zhang Lei listened, took a deep breath, clenched the racket with both hands, his eyes were more focused, and stared at Li Cai on the other side of the net.
Li Cai pursed his lips disdainfully, and said to himself: "The system's external rotation serve is not so easy to catch, even if you receive the ball, you may not be able to hit it back." ”
As Li Cai expected, Zhang Lei couldn't hit the net even if he received the ball in Li Cai's offensive of external rotation serve.
Zhang Lei couldn't figure it out, Li Cai was obviously the same as himself, it was the first time to participate in the game, how could he have such a serving strength, the ball speed was fast, and the rotation of the ball was stronger than that of ordinary serves.
Soon, Li Cai scored four straight goals and got the first point of the first game.
It was Zhang Lei's turn to serve, Zhang Lei secretly cheered himself up in his heart and said: "Come on, Zhang Lei, the opponent is just a good serve, nothing is great, believe in yourself, you will definitely be able to do it." ”
It's a pity that chicken soup for the soul can only boost morale and cheer you up, but it can't improve your own strength.
Therefore, Zhang Lei is destined to be tragic and will be beaten by Li Cai.
Sure enough, Zhang Lei did not hold on to his next serve, and was broken by Li Cai to get a point.
Soon, the score was 3:0, 4:0, 5:0, 6:0.
Li won the game smoothly, and it only took ten minutes.
Because it was a three-game system, Li Cai only needed to win one game to win the game.
Because the difference in strength was too great, Li Cai won the second game 6:1 with a crushing situation.
And this point is all Li Cai can't bear it, seeing that Zhang Lei is pitiful, he deliberately let it.
After the game, Coach Carlos said to Li Cai: "You played well, but you must remember not to be careless, in the second game, did you deliberately release water at 5:0 and let the opponent play a game." You have to know that this kind of behavior is not good, in competitive sports, you have to go all out, you can't have the slightest slack, if you let the opponent find confidence and turn the tables, what do you do. ”
Regarding Coach Carlos's words, Li Cai could only nod and say, "I know, I will remember it." ”
Soon, Li Cai's two satellite races in Tianjin were completed, and Li Cai also became the first person to score points in this satellite with a complete victory.
The remaining two stops were held in Shangjing, because there were still two days to rush back, and Li planned to go to Jinmen to have a good meal and celebrate himself.
Jinmen, the most famous is naturally the dog ignores the buns, which is the first of the "three uniques of Jinmen".
When he came here, if he didn't taste the buns, how could Li Cai be willing to go back.
Goubuli bun noodles, filling materials are fine, the production process is strict, the appearance is beautiful, especially the bun folds are symmetrical, each bun is not less than 15 pleats.
In the most famous store of Goubuli buns, Li Cai and his party waited for more than half an hour before the buns were served.
The dog that has just come out of the cage ignores the buns and eats them in the mouth, which is fresh but not greasy, fragrant and palatable, which can be said to be absolute.
And after taking a bite of the Gouignore bun, Carlos' eyes widened, and he gave a thumbs up, indicating that the bun was very tasty.
After taking a bite, Carlos said, "It's so delicious, I can't put it into words." ”
Li Cai smiled and said, "There are many delicacies in Huaguo, and Goubuli buns are just one of them, and there are even more delicious delicacies." ”
Carlos listened to it and felt incredible, in his cognition, Goubuli buns were the best in China.
Li Cai suddenly thought of a family matter, what would happen if he went to eat after using the tongue of the gods.
Because this year's loser task has not been completed, Li Cai wants to take this opportunity to complete the task.
Thinking of this, Li Cai turned on the Tongue of God skill and began to eat Goubuli buns.
As soon as the buns were eaten, the whole person felt different, so that Li Cai felt that the taste of the buns was mellow, tender and palatable, fat but not greasy, and the fragrance was more intense.
Let Li Cai feel like he is in the ocean of love, swimming slowly and frolicking.
After a long time, Li Cai came to his senses from this delicacy.
If it weren't for Li Cai's strong concentration, the impact just now would have made him moan.
After finishing the tasting of Goubuli buns, Li Cai and his party returned to Shangjing to prepare for the next tennis match.
