Chapter 300: AD Winning Points

Originally, the wild card game was not even broadcast live, let alone the qualifying round, only when it came to the finals, CCTV Sports Channel would broadcast it live.

After all, that's when a champion and an Australian Open main draw spot will be born.

However, after getting the news of Zhang Huasong's participation, although CCTV still did not broadcast live, Jisu.com contacted the organizer and bought the broadcast rights of the competition in which Zhang Huasong participated, and paid for it according to the number of rounds in which Zhang Huasong participated and broadcast it live.

They only broadcast matches in which Zhang Huasong played.

When Zhang Huasong and Harada Yuko were warming up for the fight, the live webcast room of Jisu Network had already poured into millions of netizens to watch.

Host: "Now that the competition hasn't started yet, I took a look, and more than 1 million netizens have poured into our live broadcast room to watch the live broadcast, and it seems that Zhang Huasong's appeal is indeed extraordinary." Even if it's just a qualifying tournament for a tennis wild card tournament, it can attract so many people to watch. ”

The guest nodded and said, "Yes! Looking at the scene, it was almost full! However, most of these spectators are fans of Zhang Huasong, and we can't judge how many real tennis fans there are." ”

The host said: "There are not many tennis fans in China now, as for the future, it depends on Zhang Huasong's performance." If Zhang Huasong really plays well and achieves results, I think there will definitely be many viewers who will become tennis fans!"

The guest said: "Yes, I hope Zhang Huasong can defeat Dongying player Yuko Harada and win his first tennis match." If Zhang Huasong can perform in international competitions, I think Zhang Huasong's international popularity will rise a lot. After all, internationally, tennis has a much higher audience and attention than athletics, and there is no need to thin the attention of many sports like athletics. ”

The host nodded and said, "Yes, I hope Zhang Huasong will win!"

Netizens also left messages in the comment area, and many said that they didn't understand tennis, but just came to see Zhang Huasong, and they didn't care if Zhang Huasong played well or not.

Of course, if you can defeat the Dongying people and win, it will naturally be the best result.

Many of the viewers at the scene were similar to the viewers who watched the live broadcast, many of them did not understand tennis, they had never watched a tennis game before, and they didn't even understand the basic rules.

They are just fans of Zhang Huasong, and they just want to see Zhang Huasong up close, as for Zhang Huasong's tennis strength, everyone doesn't know.

A few tennis fans watched Zhang Huasong and Harada Yuko's warm-up, speculating that Zhang Huasong may be strong and may really be able to defeat each other and win the first victory of his tennis career.

In the midst of countless people's discussions, the time came to 9 o'clock, and the game was about to begin.

The referee pulls out a coin and tosses a lot to see who serves first.

Zhang Huasong was lucky, got the right to serve, and started the first service game of the first set of the first set of the first round of the Asian Wild Card Qualifying Tournament for the Australian Open.

On the first serve of the first game of his tennis career, Zhang Huasong was also a little nervous, and did not dare to take risks, but cautiously sent the ball to the opposite drop area, and Harada Yuko received the ball relatively easily.

Moreover, because Zhang Huasong's serve was not threatening, Harada Yuko's ball back picked a more tricky angle, and Zhang Huasong's sprinting speed failed to catch up, and he directly lost a ball.

In the first game of the first set, Zhang Huasong's serve was 0-15 and fell behind by one point.

As for the score, what is 0-15?

That's because when tennis was first born, referees used the minute hand of the clock to score points. 1 minute is awarded to dial the scale of a quarter of the minute hand of the clock, that is, the scale is 15 minutes, and 2 points is to dial the scale to 30 minutes.

When I scored 3 points, because the English pronunciation of 45 points is relatively long, I only dialed the 40 scale.

This is the origin of the reasons why the audience sees not 1-0, 1-2, 1-3 and so on, but 15-0, 15-30, 15-40 when watching the live tennis game.

If there is a tie at 40-40, continue to play, and if one side scores 4 points, if the clock dials the scale to 60 points, it will be zero, and there will be no score.

Therefore, after the tennis match is tied 40-40, whoever gets the 4th point first, that is, the next score of 40 points, is not scored, but only called AD, which means the winning score.

Because tennis matches require at least two goal differences, to get the winning point is to win one ball, and to win one more ball, even if it is a service game or break game.

If you don't win again after getting the winning point, but lose, the two sides are tied, so it goes back to the score of 40:40, and the two sides have to continue to fight for the winning point, and they need to win two goals in a row to win a small game.

If the two sides are close in strength, there will be repeated 40-40 ties, competing for the AD winning point, but they have not been able to win two goals in a row to win the small game.

That's why sometimes tennis matches take a long time.

Back on the scene, after losing the first serve, Zhang Huasong didn't care.

His level 6 tennis skills do not have an overwhelming advantage against active professional players and a member of the national team of Dongying Country. In addition, the first serve is a little cautious, and it is normal for the opponent to seize the opportunity to break serve.

However, the audience watching the live broadcast in the stands and on the Internet became nervous, thinking that Zhang Huasong was not strong?

The host of the live broadcast room of the speed network shifted the topic to the topic of popularizing the origin of the 0-15 score to netizens, diluting the tension of Zhang Huasong losing the first serve.

According to the rules of the tennis game, Zhang Huasong changed one corner and began to serve the second ball, and Harada Yuko also changed a corner to prepare to receive Zhang Huasong's serve.

This time, after the first ball, Zhang Huasong has completely relaxed.

I saw him take a deep breath, then throw the ball high, jump around, and slam his right hand into the orb in the air.

As soon as the ball made contact with the racket, it flew out of the way, crossed the net and landed on the opposite side, then bounced off and flew towards Harada's left backhand.

Zhang Huasong's serve was fast and the angle was tricky, and although Harada Yuko reluctantly took it, her body rushed to the sidelines.

Zhang Huasong hit a figure eight with a backhand catch, but Harada Yuko couldn't catch up with him and didn't catch the ball.

At 15-15, Zhang Huasong finally got 1 point in the first service game, and the audience immediately burst into applause and applause.

Next, Zhang Huasong continued to serve, and the two sides went back and forth, and soon hit 40-40, and then Zhang Huasong took the lead in scoring and got the AD winning point.

AD-40, Zhang Huasong won this service game by winning one more ball, and netizens at the scene and watching the live broadcast were nervous, staring at Zhang Huasong who was about to serve.
