"Mr. Du! Come on! ”

Stimulated by Zheng Sai, Bian Siliang excitedly added fuel to Du Xinghe.

When Du Xinghe looked over at Bian Siliang, he found that Zhang Yifan next to Bian Siliang was also smiling, clenching his fists at him, cheering him on.

Zheng Sai caught a glimpse of Zhang Yifan cheering for Du Xinghe, which made him even more jealous in his heart, just now he still felt that it would be good to use three or four percent of his strength to fight Du Xinghe if he couldn't find the north, but now that he was jealous, he decided to be ruthless, and he had to give Du Xinghe a psychological shadow! Let this kid use tennis to pick up a girl, and see how he will soak in the future!

Zheng Sai didn't argue with Du Xinghe anymore, since he let him serve first, he served first.

"Give you ten minutes to warm up with the ball. Listen to my whistle later, and start the game on time at a quarter past nine. Liu Wangsong deliberately gave the two of them another ten minutes to prepare. It was not easy to come to this venue to compete, and Liu Wangsong seized an opportunity to let Zheng Sai adapt to the various feelings of this venue.

When Du Xinghe used to watch tennis matches on TV, he had seen the two sides draw a few beats across the net before the match to find a feeling, and before that, the athletes from both sides would stand in the bottom corner of the same side of the court and then practice serving diagonally.

Although he knows how to do a warm-up with the ball, Du Xinghe has never warmed up so formally, Zheng Sai is not surprised by this, although he plays with an amateur opponent, he actually doesn't need to do a warm-up with the ball at all, but he understands his master's good intentions, which is to let him hurry up and adapt to this field, so he doesn't talk nonsense, walks to the backcourt area, and he practices serving by himself.

When Zhang Yifan asked the staff to help as a lineman. Originally, I wanted to find a few more caddies, but those staff members were used to wearing multiple hats, and the four linemen at the bottom line and the two linemen at the middle line were all working part-time as caddies.

After Zheng Sai started to practice, these staff began to help Zheng Sai deliver the ball, and the staff on the opposite side went to pick up the ball that Zheng Sai played, and handed it to Du Xinghe, who was standing in the second district on the side of the net, and let Du Xinghe practice serving.

Du Xinghe is quite unfamiliar with this kind of scene, the field of the Blue Moon Bay Center Court is very open, and the surrounding area is not wrapped in barbed wire like the training ground or the venue of Fuda University, it is completely open. Play on a field like this. Du Xinghe will feel that the field seems to have become bigger, and even the line drawing he feels farther than the field he played before.

When you come to a different venue, you really need to get used to it, otherwise the human feeling will go wrong. Seeing that Zheng Sai on the other side practiced his serve seriously. Du Xinghe is not far behind. He began to practice his serve with his best and only topspin ball.

Zheng Sai was trying to knock on the mountain and shock the "cat", giving Du Xinghe some deterrence, when practicing the serve. Zheng Sai used a violent front shot, the ball that sent out the ball was like a cannonball, and the sound of "boom boom" shocked Zhang Yiyang and others who were watching from the sidelines!

Don't look at Zheng Sai's thin figure, he is not as tall as Zhang Yiyang, but the stout Cheng dù of his right arm is not worse than Zhang Yiyang, his right arm seems to have artificially added several circles of muscles, it looks like a machine qì arm, black, thick and hard, and the speed of the ball can casually exceed 160 km/h, this ball speed is already the highest ball speed that Zhang Yiyang can send!

"A professional player is a professional player, and this serve is too violent!" Bian Siliang looked at Zheng Sai's violent serve, and his high emotions wilted in an instant.

Zhang Yiyang couldn't help but admire: "It's so powerful, Zheng Sai looks more powerful than before." ”

Zhang Yifan hurriedly nodded in agreement, she also felt that Zheng Sai was more powerful than half a year ago. Although Zheng Sai has been switching to the north and south of the country since the beginning of this year, he has been participating in low-level competitions to earn points. But he doesn't have many opportunities to appear in the public eye. Tennis enthusiasts like the Zhang siblings last saw Zheng at the China Open at the end of October last year.

At that time, Zheng Sai's luck was very poor, and in the first round, he drew the world's No. 9 "Australian Heavy Artillery" Tony Cahill, who is nearly two meters tall.

In that match, although Zheng Sai has been stubbornly resisting Tony Cahill's offensive, but the gap in strength is too big, in Tony Cahill's serve, Zheng Sai can't find any chance to resist at all, and it is very difficult to connect Cahill's serve.

On the hard court of the middle net, Cahill's serve speed is between 210 kilometers ~ 240 kilometers per hour, and the lethality is huge, which is really not something that ordinary players can resist. Ordinary people receive Cahill's serve like catching a bullet with a racket, and the impact is only known to those who have played against Cahill.

Zheng Sai played Cahill for the first time at that time, but Cahill broke two service games in the first set, losing the first set 2:6, and then he was broken by Cahill soon in the second set. Since the China Open is a Grand Slam, the format for men's players is best-of-five sets.

At that time, Zheng Sai and Cahill were halfway through the third set, but he retired because of a broken foot, and the score at that time was 0:4, if the situation developed, he was likely to be sent by Cahill in the third set. It was a very timely time, and it allowed him to avoid an embarrassing ending with zero eggs.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zheng Sai was beaten by Cahill. You must know that Zheng Sai was only 17 years old at that time, and he was still a child, and it was very rare to be able to face to face with a famous player like Tony Cahill and grab 3 games.

It was the last time tennis enthusiasts like the Zhang siblings saw Zheng Sai play on television, after which he missed several domestic open tournaments in November and December due to a foot injury.

In the warm-up matches before the Australian Open, Zheng Sai participated in low-level competitions, mainly to grab points for the championship, and did not have much exposure.

Zheng Sai participated in the Australian Open at the end of January, but before it was his turn to televise, he was eliminated again. This time, I still couldn't get rid of the fate of the first round of the tour. Although his opponent in the first round is not the top in the world, it is Argentina's Rodriguez, who is ranked 55th. But Zheng Sai fought hard in four sets, and finally lost to Rodriguez with a score of 1:3 and regretfully left the Australian Open.

Two months after that. Zheng Sai is still playing some low-level competitions to find confidence, and he is also accumulating points, and he does not take the risk of participating in high-level competitions.

This time he came to Fuwan to participate in the ATP 250 level competition, which is already the highest level of competition he has participated in after the Australian Open. Although the previous two Grand Slam tournaments were not very good, Zheng Sai's world ranking has steadily improved due to his steady performance in the lower divisions.

Now it has climbed to 75th in the world and 6th in China. And the Zhang brothers and sisters, tennis enthusiasts, all know Zheng Sai's results, but they haven't watched Zheng Sai play for a long time.

Now I see Zheng Sai practicing a few serves seriously. The Zhang siblings immediately felt the same way. is Zheng Sai's strength training more than in the Chinese Grand Slam at the end of October last year. Not only is his body a little stronger than before, but his explosiveness has also obviously improved.

I remember last year's China Open, Zheng Sai's serve speed was mostly 150 km/h. This ball speed is the highest among male professional players. It's very slow. It's not even as good as some of the stronger female players. But it can't be helped. Teenagers who have only transitioned from youth to adult professional competition are forced to achieve such ball speeds due to physical limitations. So their serve is more about skill. Rather than blindly pursuing speed.

But now, Zheng Sai casually serves, the speed is obviously a few points faster than in the middle of the net, and the style of the ball has become more direct and violent, this kind of physical level improvement is the most personally felt.

Zhang Yiyang wiped the cold sweat on his head, thinking in his heart that if he fought with Zheng Sai like this, it is estimated that the scene would be like when Zheng Sai was abused by Tony Cahill last year, and he must have been abused.

Du Xinghe, who is also practicing serving on the court, is also paying attention to Zheng Sai's serve, but due to the blessing of strange power and the support of his super body, his observation ability and reaction speed are much faster than ordinary people.

Zheng Sai's violent serve did not have much impact on Du Xinghe, in Du Xinghe's opinion, Zheng Sai's serve and Zhang Yiyang's serving speed are not much different, Zhang Yiyang can also send many balls to Zheng Sai's speed, this kind of serving strength is a little weaker than he imagined.

Du Xinghe mainly looked at some of Zheng Sai's serving details, such as the contact angle between his paddle and the ball after throwing the ball, as well as some small movements when he served, hoping to see some rules.

Although Zheng Sai's serve is not as fast as Du Xinghe imagined, for this speed of serve, in fact, it must be predicted to receive, if there is no prediction, it is difficult for him to reflect such a ball speed. Even though his reflexes were quick, he still couldn't catch his opponent's serve with speeds of more than 160 kilometers per hour.

Just looking at Zheng Sai's serve, Du Xinghe didn't find too much of Zheng Sai's serving rules, because in his opinion, the black boy was completely swaying his strength, how much strength he had, blindly pumping the forehand violently, and not like him, but also making some topspin and adding some technical content.

After practicing for five minutes, Zheng Sai seemed to be venting his frustration, and he kept sending violent balls, and such continuous violent serves were actually extremely depleting, and the load was like a person running a few back and forth twenty-meter accelerated turnaround runs. At the end, even Zheng Sai himself was a little out of breath and couldn't keep up with the previous rhythm.

Liu Wangsong sat on the referee's high chair on the side and watched the two practice their serves, at first he paid more attention to Du Xinghe, after all, he was too familiar with Zheng Sai, he didn't need to watch to know what Zheng Sai's technical movements were like. However, Du Xinghe, the right-hand pull-up topspin ball serve is very distinctive.

This type of serve is rare among amateurs, as the technique is not as easy to master as a forehand pump.

The average professional player will practice topspin serve, this way of serving the ball speed can not reach the level of the cannon chamber, thus causing great lethality to the opponent, this way of serving is considered conservative, professional male players in the first serve, usually do not choose this way of serving.

However, this way of serving also has its own advantages, first of all, the biggest advantage is that this kind of serve through the net into the boundary of the stability of the dìng is very high, because it is an upspin ball, after the net, the tennis ball will spin and fall at high speed, it is easy to smash into the service area, and after the bounce on the ground, it will produce a high elastic effect, which will have a certain lethality to the opponent who is not well prepared.

Because of these characteristics, this style of serve usually results in the situation of starting error and then seeking stability on the second serve.

Liu Wangsong saw that Du Xinghe had been practicing topspin serves, and he was very skilled in technical movements. The ball speed spun very violently, which made Liu Wangsong very eye-opening. Because Du Xinghe in practice at this time, the serving speed is about 120 kilometers per hour, which is not as good as the average adult female professional player. But the speed of the ball he hit is extremely amazing, and the biggest example of it is that the ball will bounce violently diagonally when it hits the ground.

This kind of serve will be very awkward for players who are not good at catching the bounce ball, and if the racket is not in good contact when receiving the ball, the ball will easily fly. Fortunately, Zheng Sai's basic skills and small skills are very solid, Liu Wangsong feels that if it is just this kind of serve with such a ball speed, it should not make any impact on Zheng Sai, Zheng Sai just needs to find the right rhythm. It's easy to take serve and attack directly. Du Xinghe was comprehensively suppressed.

However, if Zheng Sai didn't pay attention to this feature of Du Xinghe's serve, it would have suffered a lot at first.

Thinking of this, Liu Wangsong habitually looked at Zheng Sai, hoping to give Zheng Sai some special gestures between their master and apprentice. to remind Zheng Sai to pay attention. At this time, Liu Wangsong found that Zheng Sai was venting and practicing violent serves. didn't take Du Xinghe seriously at all. This made Liu Wangsong feel helpless. However, he believes in Zheng Sai's adaptability, and in the competition, Zheng Sai will definitely notice Du Xinghe's difference. Liu Wangsong really hopes that Du Xinghe can cause some trouble for Zheng Sai, so that the practice value can be played.

In the tennis game, the serving link is actually very physical, Du Xinghe practices the serve is to collect the strength and then practice, although there is a strange blessing, but generally he will not consume his physical energy excessively, so as not to fall asleep again.

Recently, through guò eating continuous fitness training, Du Xinghe's physical fitness has been greatly improved, his body's endurance has become stronger, and he can be more bold in using strange powers. But in the warm-up activities, he still didn't need to go to the excessive consumption of the body.

Zheng Sai was different, he didn't take Du Xinghe in his eyes at all, he didn't mean to keep his body at all, he practiced serving like a ball machine for five minutes, and only stopped when he was out of breath.

After resting for half a minute, going to the sidelines to replenish a few sips of sports drinks, and eating a piece of chocolate, Zheng Sai interrupted Du Xinghe, who was still practicing, and said to Liu Wangsong: "Blow the whistle, 'referee', you can start the game." ”

Du Xinghe heard Zheng Sai say that he was going to start the competition, and he didn't practice anymore. Liu Wangsong looked at his watch, and it was only 9:11. The practice of the ball on both sides has not been done enough, but the situation of watching Zheng Sai ask for a battle is very strong. Liu Wangsong didn't say much, and after asking Du Xinghe's meaning, Liu Wangsong officially blew the quiet scene.

The six linemen and pick-up players drank a few sips of water, and all of them were in place, and the game was about to start.

The staff and players who watched from the court who didn't know Du Xinghe were very relaxed at this time, they all heard about Du Xinghe's background, and knew that Du Xinghe was the small boss of Cloud World, and he was an amateur in tennis. They didn't understand why Zheng Sai would play with this Xiao Du, but looking at Zheng Sai's warm-up seriously, this should be a one-sided game, they were all talking and laughing in a low voice, discussing how Zheng Sai would win this game. There are also a lot of schadenfreude, wanting to see a rich kid like Du Xinghe make a fool of himself.

Tennis and the entertainment industry do not match, so many people in the tennis circle don't know anything about Du Xinghe's background, I heard that he is the small boss of the record company, many people think that he is the kind of rich second generation who stretches his hands to eat and opens his mouth, but they don't know that he is actually a very hard-working genius little boss.

After labeling Du Xinghe as a gentleman, those professional or semi-professional players naturally stood on Zheng Sai's side, and they wanted to see "their own people" abuse Du Xinghe's kind of gentleman.

Of course, there are also some staff members who know a little about the entertainment industry, and they know that Du Xinghe is a very controversial young genius in the music industry.

However, the music world is the music world, and the tennis world is the tennis world, and they don't understand why Du Xinghe wants to play against a talented player like Zheng Sai on the tennis court.

After watching Du Xinghe practice serving, some people who have heard of Du Xinghe in the field of music found that this guy is not the kind of fool who doesn't know anything on the tennis court, Du Xinghe still has a good way to play, and they are looking forward to a wonderful game between cross-field talents.

The Zhang siblings and Bian Siliang are the people who know Du Xinghe's strength best among all the audience, and when the game is about to start, their mood is becoming more and more expectant and excited.

The more excited Zhang Yiyang became, the more his stomach hurt, but he gritted his teeth and endured it, he must watch this wonderful showdown.

Bian Siliang made a bet with Zhang Yiyang, and his mood was even more nervous, this is related to his one-semester meal ticket! In his heart, he desperately hoped that Du Xinghe could destroy Zheng Sai. However, looking at Zheng Sai's strength, it seems that he is one level stronger than Du Xinghe, which makes Bian Siliang worried.

Zhang Yifan didn't think so much at this time, she didn't pay so much attention to Zheng Sai, she just hoped that Du Xinghe could play his level. In her heart, she is Du Xinghe's tennis enlightenment teacher, and the better Du Xinghe plays, the more beneficial it will be for him to take this path in the future. You know, Du Xinghe has agreed to register as a professional player today, which shows that he is becoming more and more interested in tennis.

If Du Xinghe can not fall behind in this confrontation with high-level tennis players, it will be an immeasurable boost to Du Xinghe's confidence, and may make Du Xinghe love tennis even more.

Even if Du Xinghe is defeated, as long as he can play his own style, this match will be a very beneficial challenge for Du Xinghe's future career.

Zhang Yifan believes that Du Xinghe's strength can wrestle with Zheng Sai, but just after watching Zheng Sai's serving practice, she realized that she seems to be overestimating Du Xinghe's strength. may be that she is always swept by Du Xinghe's invincible sweep, so that she can't objectively evaluate Du Xinghe's true strength. But no matter what, she didn't want this match to have any psychological impact on Du Xinghe.

If Du Xinghe loses too ugly, it will greatly hit his passion for tennis, which is the last thing Zhang Yifan wants to see.

So she doesn't want to think so much now, she only prays for Du Xinghe in her heart, she hopes that she doesn't overestimate Du Xinghe's strength because she is too close, and hopes that Du Xinghe can play with style, which is enough.

"Toot-"

After Liu Wangsong's second quiet whistle sounded, the game officially kicked off.

It was the first time for Du Xinghe to have such a formal competition, and he was still nervous, and it felt a bit like the first time he stood on the stage of alto and sang in college. This kind of cross-disciplinary tension also makes Du Xinghe feel a little excited, since he met the Zhang siblings, he has played tennis almost twice a week, and he sweats a lot more on the tennis court than in the gym.

After practicing hard, his tennis level has made great progress, and now it's finally time to test his progress, how can Du Xinghe not be full of expectations for this?

No one wants their sweat to be in vain, and if they pay so much, they must have corresponding returns, which can stimulate people to work towards a higher goal.

Du Xinghe came to the first area to receive the ball, he had just seen Zheng Sai's serving strength, he stood two steps behind the bottom line, held the racket with both hands, half waisted, and carefully observed Zheng Sai's serve on the other side of the net.

If this is the final of the Fu Championship and it is televised, then the bottom line on the south side where Du Xinghe is standing now should be at the bottom right of the televised broadcast.

Zheng Sai was in the upper left corner of the TV broadcast, he was shooting the ball casually, looking at his attitude, he was much more relaxed than Du Xinghe. After glancing at the right side of Du Xinghe's court, that is, the outer corner, Zheng Sai threw the ball high, and with his throw, the game between the two sides officially kicked off!

- Bang!

Different from the violent serve just now, Zheng Sai's first shot was a clever one, which was a strong external spin ball, aiming at the sideline and flying out of the court.

The speed of this ball is very slow, that is, about 120 kilometers, and Du Xinghe has been able to have sufficient preparation time for the incoming ball at this speed.

In fact, when Zheng Saiqiu threw his hand and the racket waved, the paddle surface was slightly outward, and with this subtle action, Du Xinghe had already predicted that Zheng Sai's ball was going to send a sidespin ball in the outer corner, so he had already moved towards the right side of his body in advance.

To his surprise, Zheng Sai's ball was so slow, giving him plenty of time to return the ball, Du Xinghe pressed it one step at a time, and at the moment when the ball bounced over the net, he had already made the action of choosing to click on the ball.

At this time-

“――OUT！”

The condescending Liu Wangsong saw the landing point of Zheng Sai's ball over the net, which was nearly 30 centimeters outside the sideline, and it was out of bounds a lot, so he shouted "out of bounds" with the lineman on the bottom line. (To be continued......)
