Chapter 670: Warm-up for the disparity in strength
Since you are disgusted with me, well, Lao Tzu is disgusted with you too!
Pong Masi thought that the organizing committee was disgusting him by arranging such an amateur competition.
Although he does not understand Chinese, he has been to China many times, and Pomp Masi also has some friends in China, and he learned from his Chinese friends that the game he was scheduled for this morning was completely a formality, not even live TV, no publicity, and even the ticket did not indicate that the center court had his game, which made him quite unhappy.
No matter what, he is also the second seed, the highest ranked foreign player in the competition, the organizing committee did this to him, then he doesn't have to give the organizing committee any face, he deliberately came very late, and the communication with the organizing committee is also casual. He wanted to finish this completely pointless game and go to rest now, and he really didn't bother to waste time here.
The organizing committee was forced to treat Peng Maxi like this, and Zhang Yiyang, the eldest son, had to get a wild card that went straight to the main competition, and they couldn't help but give it. The Fu Championship was sponsored by their Zhang family, and the people of the organizing committee did not dare to offend the Southeast Zhang family, but they had a relationship with the Zhang family.
But when the draw was made, this wild card player ran into Peng Maxi, which made the organizing committee scratch its head, if the focus is on promoting Peng Masi, a high-ranking seed, when the time comes, Peng Maxi will give Zhang Yiyang a bad hit with the wild card friends, which will not look good on anyone's face, and it will also have a great impact on the image of the Fu Championships.
In the end, I had to abandon the car to protect the coach, and first maintain the image of the Fu Championships, as for Peng Maxi's mood. They just can't take care of it. The only thing they can take care of is to put Pong Masi on the highest standard Centre Court to play. Let's wait until after this game.
Near the start of the game, the Blue Moon Bay Center Court was still empty, large areas of the stands were empty, and there were less than 300 spectators to watch the game, half of which were almost all students of Fuzhou University.
Du Xinghe didn't want to make a big fuss, after all. He is not sure to win this match. If the pre-match news goes too far, he is worried that it will affect the company's image, and he is now a public figure and the banner of the cloud world. You have to be especially careful with your actions.
But the Zhang brothers and sisters couldn't hold it back. They really want the members of Fuda Tennis to see Du Xinghe's strength. I also wanted my classmates to cheer, so I paid out of my own pocket to buy tickets for the big guys.
The people of Fudalai walked and sat in the No. 6 stand, which is the closest stand to the stadium behind the billboard. They were not uniformly dressed, but it could be seen that they formed a small phalanx to cheer for Du Xinghe. Bian Siliang and a few people in the front row pulled a large banner that read: "Flat Blue Moon Bay!" Xiao Du will always win! β
Fang Yajun and the Zhang brothers and sisters, who were dressed in red, were sitting opposite the Fufu University student phalanx, where there was an exclusive seat specially opened for the relatives and coaching team of the players, this seat was on the second floor of the stands, farther away from the stadium, but the angle was very good, and you could see every scene on the court.
Pong Masi has always fought alone, fighting all over the world alone, without a coach and without a family and friend group, so the family and friend coach area prepared for him by the competition party is empty.
Gao Xin from Xingyue Media also came to the Blue Moon Bay Center Stadium to watch the game this morning, although the publishing house would reimburse his tickets, but he didn't dare to buy tickets for too good areas, so as not to reimburse the cost too high, and he would be scolded by the hot Cao Yana.
He spent 300 yuan to buy a ticket for District 12, this ticket is a low-end ticket, on the third floor of the stands, the viewing angle is OK, not the kind of corner position, it is facing the field, looking down on the angle, and there is a big screen to watch. Gao Xin used to come to Blue Moon Bay to watch games, and he liked to buy tickets for this area, and he was very used to watching football here.
Since the tickets for the previous few match days are all passes, and if you buy a ticket to Center Court, you can watch the games in this stadium for one day, so Sun Art is quite looking forward to seeing the next games.
Cao Yana gave him leave all morning, and asked him to come to the stadium to track Du Xinghe's game situation at any time, if Du Xinghe will soon be killed by Peng Masi, so that the next game will start soon, and he can watch one more game.
When there was still more than half an hour before the game, Gao Xin came to District 12 to wait for the game to start, but now the game is only ten minutes before the game starts, and he is the only one waiting to watch the game in the huge stands of District 12, and there is no one near the stands, which makes Gao Xin a little panicked, and he wonders if he has misseen the time.
Later, when he saw the caddie, the lineman and the referee entering, Gao Xin was more down-to-earth, and then Du Xinghe, who saw through a light blue tennis shirt, came out with an equipment bag, and Gao Xin waved at Du Xinghe, hoping that Du Xinghe could see him come to cheer. But it's a pity that the three-story stand is too far away from the stadium, although the stand is watching the game alone, which is very conspicuous, but Du Xinghe still didn't see him.
"Bell bell bell ...... Bell bell bell ...... Bell bell bell ...... Bell bell bell ......"
At this time, the big brother in Sun Art's bag rang, and this big brother was specially prepared for reporters in their company, so that reporters could contact the agency at any time.
Gao Xin picked up the phone: "Hey? β
"Are you on the pitch?"
It was Cao Yana's voice that came from the phone.
Gao Xin reported to Cao Yana: "It's time to arrive, Cao Bian, Xiao Du's game will start immediately, I'm watching it, there will be news later, I will call back to the club at any time." β
Cao Yana suddenly asked, "Which stand are you in?" I'm here at Blue Moon Bay, and I'm buying tickets. That grandstand you bought, I'll go find you. β
"Huh? You're coming to Blue Moon Bay too? Gao Xin was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't understand why Cao Yana came.
Cao Yana said annoyedly: "You don't talk nonsense, I'm queuing up to buy a ticket, hurry up and tell me, where should I buy a ticket!" β
Gao Xin hurriedly said: "I'm in the District 12 stands on the Center Court, you just need to buy the District 12 grandstand tickets." β
After Cao Yana knew which one to buy. Immediately hung up the call with Gao Xin, bought a ticket and headed for the 12 stands of the center court.
As a very efficient and capable woman, after Mia Lei asked her to set up an aftermath team last night, Cao Yana pulled those reliable subordinates back to the club overnight and formulated an aftermath plan overnight.
didn't sleep for a few hours at all, early this morning, Cao Yana sent several of her subordinates out to work, and she stayed in the club alone, and she was really panicked. Originally, it was enough to make a plan for the release of a new book for Du Xinghe, but I didn't expect Du Xinghe to come to them with such a hand. She was so angry. The more I think about it, the more angry I get!
Recalling Du Xinghe's disapproving attitude at the preparation meeting before, Cao Yana was furious, so she couldn't sit still in the office, she must come to the stadium to have a look. Du Xinghe, this little kid, how many pounds and taels does he have. Why do you have to make such a farce to wipe their butts?
If Du Xinghe loses badly. Cao Yana must interview Du Xinghe in person and ask him if he has anything else to say!
Unexpectedly, the leader came to watch the battle in person, and Sun Art was really depressed. Originally, he wanted to watch one more game, but now that there is no play, he can only bite the bullet and watch a game of Du Xinghe, who has no technical content, being abused.
After hanging up Cao Yana's phone, Gao Xin ran to the entrance of the District 12 grandstand and waited for Cao Yana to come over. When Cao Yana arrived in the stands of District 12, Du Xinghe and Peng Masi in the center of the court had already been called together by the referee, ready to guess the coin to fight for who would serve first.
In order to disgust the organizing committee, Peng Maxi looked very lazy, the referee called him, he also ignored it, and he didn't even look at Du Xinghe, and kept saying to the referee in English Whatever, whatever, no matter what the referee said, he had a casual attitude, and didn't care who kicked off first.
The referee of this match was a 45-year-old Chinese female referee, Duanmu Ruoyun, who has officiated many ATP professional matches, but has never seen this attitude of Pengmasi. Do you want to fight this guy? Why is the attitude so casual! Duanmu Ruoyun was secretly unhappy in his heart.
Comparing the coin with Zhang Bin's portrait to Du Xinghe, Duanmu Ruoyun asked Du Xinghe which side to choose.
Du Xinghe pointed to the side of Emperor Zhang Bin's portrait facing up, signaling that he would choose Emperor Zhang Bin's side.
Du Xinghe was already very familiar with the portrait of the Great Founder, because the coins of this plane had the portrait of the Founding Monarch on all coins. The founding emperor is also known as the protector of the Chinese nation, so he chose this protector.
Duanmu Ruoyun pointed out the one-yuan pattern on the back of the coin to Peng Maxi again, and asked Peng Maxi if he could choose this side?
Peng Masi responded casually again, which made Duanmu Ruoyun regenerate the plan, she flicked the coin with her thumb, and then caught it with the back of her left hand, and slapped it up with her right hand, and under the gaze of the two players, she opened her blocked right hand and exposed the coin on the back of her left hand-
It is the front of the portrait of Zhang Bing the Great!
Du Xinghe kicks off first!
YesοΌ
Du Xinghe shouted in his heart, and a smile naturally appeared on his face.
Duanmu Ruoyun saw that it was Du Xinghe who won, and he also smiled slightly, to show his encouragement to his compatriots.
Ponmasi didn't care about this result at all, in the face of such a dry and thin child, he could win this match even if he let the opponent set and a half, and he didn't care who kicked off first and who kicked off later.
It could be felt that Du Xinghe was very happy, Peng Maxi shrugged his shoulders with a smile, and then didn't shake hands with Du Xinghe, after Duanmu Ruoyun reminded them of some rules of the game according to the rules, Peng Maxi turned around and left, going to the backcourt to warm up.
Du Xinghe looked at Peng Maxi's nonchalant figure and smiled silently, the more the opponent didn't pay attention to him, the more beneficial it was to him. He also left the net and went to the backcourt to warm up, and at the same time he gave a thumbs up to the Zhang siblings in the family and friend bench, signaling that he had the right to tee off first.
The Zhang brothers and sisters high-fived each other excitedly!
Fang Yajun didn't quite understand what they were happy about, so she asked, "What does Mr. Xiao Du mean by giving you a thumbs up?" Is there anything to be happy about? β
Zhang Yifan told Fang Yajun: "Xiao Du's gesture is that he got the right to tee, so that the first set is more stable." β
Zhang Yiyang answered: "That's right! Looking at the laziness of Peng Maxi, he didn't take Xiao Du in his eyes at all, as long as Xiao Du grasped Peng Masi's relaxed state, he would teach him to be a man in minutes! β
Zhang Yifan nodded and said, "As long as Mr. Xiao Du plays normally." Nine times out of ten, the first set will definitely be won, the second set is the key, and then Pompasi must be serious. β
Zhang Yiyang was not angry: "If he is serious, he may not be Xiao Du's opponent." "He has played the most games with Du Xinghe, and he knows better than anyone that Du Xinghe's terrifying suppressive power on the court, just with a player like Peng Maxi who has a problem with his psychological endurance, he is definitely not Du Xinghe's opponent!
Fang Yajun was extremely stunned when he heard this, the people on the court were Peng Maxi! Even if she is not a very professional fan, she knows this Messi. Brother players used to be talented golfers, super strong! How could it be so easy for Du Xinghe to beat this Peng Masi in the mouth of the Zhang brothers and sisters? Listen to what it means. Du Xinghe is completely crushing the rhythm! These siblings won't be a show! No matter how you look at it, it should be Peng Maxi crushing Du Xinghe! Fang Yajun really didn't understand this. You can also see it by looking at the warm-up. Na Peng Masi's serve is heavier than Du Xinghe, not a star and a half! It's two worlds of golfers!
In a normal tennis match, before the start of the match, players from both sides will play a few back and forth balls with each other to warm up, and then they will serve each other to find a feeling. The warm-up situation of this game was that as soon as it came up, both sides entered the state of serving and finding a sense of space.
Du Xinghe originally wanted to draw two beats with Peng Maxi. Get a feel for the power of a top professional like Ponmasi. But the guy went to the back of the court. directly managed the caddie to practice the serve, and there was no intention of interacting with Du Xinghe at all.
Du Xinghe saw that the other party was so warm-up, and he couldn't fight the other party. The two of us played a few battles, and he just had to practice his serve.
During the previous special training, Zhang Yiyang and they all practiced the ball on the Blue Moon Bay Center Court, Du Xinghe is already very familiar with this court, here he has practiced no less than 1000 accurate serves, and he is now the wrist brute force control zhì has been wonderful, so in the warm-up practice, he did not use all his strength to serve, only used one percent of his strength, and sent out a few weak serves to confuse Peng Masi.
Peng Masi saw that Du Xinghe's serving speed was about the same as that of an amateur female golfer, and he was really speechless, and the estimated speed was less than 30 kilometers per hour. The race party is really disgusting!
Sprinkled all his anger on the ball, Pongmasi pumped a few balls, bang! Bang! Bang! The sound of hitting the hammer, and the members of the Fuda Tennis Club who were very close to the court were all cautious!
Compared with Du Xinghe's weak serve, Pongmasi's serve is like a rocket! Although the landing point is not very accurate, almost every ball is drawn at a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour! With such a fast serve, it was the first time for these members of the Fuda Tennis Club to see it on the spot, and they were all a little stunned.
Originally, they were still shouting slogans to cheer for Du Xinghe, but after Pomp Maxi launched the ball, they all lost their voices, and they were dumbfounded by Peng Maxi's violent serve.
A top professional player is a top professional player, and this serve is much more violent than their president Zhang Yiyang! On the opening stage, they can all feel the fierce oppression on the Pomp Masi ball, for such an incoming ball, how can the person standing on the other side of the net catch it!
These students of Fu University are all responsible for Du Xinghe, and Zhang Yiyang, Bian Siliang and others have been boasting to them before, how powerful Du Xinghe is, and how powerful he can kill Peng Maxi and the like. Many of these students have never seen Du Xinghe play, so they don't believe that Zhang Yiyang and they said that Du Xinghe can kill Peng Masi, but they still have a trace of hope in their hearts, hoping that a miracle can happen.
However, now, looking at the disparity between Du Xinghe and Peng Masi's serving practice, these students are dumbfounded, such warring parties are not equal to each other at all, just like adults playing with kindergarten children, how can Du Xinghe win Pong Masi! It's impossible!
The kid sitting next to Bian Siliang asked Bian Siliang with a bitter face: "Brother Liang, is this what you said about Xiao Du's strength?" How do I feel that his serve is not as good as mine? At this level, isn't it a bit embarrassing to come to the Fu Championships? β
"Shame? Hehe, Xiao Du is hiding his strength! Bian Siliang, like the Zhang brothers and sisters, firmly believed that Du Xinghe had the strength to defy the sky, and he told his classmates: "Don't look at Xiao Du's serve like this now, when the game begins, you will know the true strength of Xiao Du!" β
There are still people who don't believe it: "Isn't it, Brother Liang, I think you and the president have blown a little bit big about this Xiao Du this time." β
Bian Siliang snorted: "Don't jump to conclusions now, wait for you to see the game start." You will know if we are blowing about Mr. Du. Mr. Xiao Du's strength is far beyond your imagination! β
The kid next to Bian Siliang joked: "Is it higher than we imagined, or is it lower than we imagined?" β
"Hahahaha." A group of students around were amused. Although Zhang Yiyang is usually an iron-blooded president, they all tend to believe Zhang Yiyang's words, but Du Xinghe, who is warming up on the court, is so weak and weak, and Peng Maxi is not at the same level at all, they can't let themselves believe Zhang Yiyang's words. But in their hearts, they still support Du Xinghe very much, after all, this genius Xiao Du is always the author of "Looking for Qin". And most of them are fans of "Xun Qin". I read "Xun Qin Ji" every week.
In the stands of the 12th arrondissement.
When Cao Yana arrived, the number of spectators in this area doubled, from one to two.
"Why is there no one? Is this an official game that Xiao Du is playing? Or is it one of those exhibition games? "Cao Yana has never watched a tennis match live, so I don't understand it. Why is this game not watched? Huge Centre Court. Except for the 6th district where a group of students sat in the stands. Most of the other stands are empty, which is like a normal tournament atmosphere.
Gao Xin was also a little uncertain when asked by Cao Yana, because the live broadcast did not report the game at all. They didn't have any information about the game printed on their tickets, so could it really be just an exhibition match?
But it doesn't look like it, the exhibition match will not be so regular, looking at the referee's appearance when he just spoke to Du Xinghe and Peng Maxi, it was very strict, this should be an official game.
"The one wearing the blue clothes is Mr. Xiao Du?" Cao Yana is deeply myopic, and her glasses should be changed, even if she wears glasses, she can't see the people on the court in the distance.
"Yes, that's Mr. Xiao Du." Gao Xin sued Cao Yana.
Cao Yana couldn't see the ball at all, she could only see Du Xinghe's swinging of the racket, and hear the sound of "bang, bang, bang" Pengmaxi pumping the ball. She asked Gao Xin: "You are a tennis fan, in your opinion, how is the level of Xiao Du?" β
Gao Xin told the truth: "I feel that he is not as good as me......"
"Huh? It sucks! Cao Yana was shocked, Du Xinghe said at the meeting before that he had a chance to win Peng Masi, but now listening to Gao Xin's meaning, he is not as good as Gao Xin, this bull is too big! This is not Mr. Du's style!
Gao Xin smiled helplessly at what Cao Yana said, and said: "Cao Bian, I play tennis very well, it's not as bad as you imagined." I won the men's singles runner-up in our group's internal tennis competition for two years in a row. β
Cao Yana replied casually: "Yes, I didn't pay attention." Then according to you, do you think Xiao Du can always beat that black and strong foreigner? β
Gao Xin sighed and said: "I said yesterday that Xiao Du's total probability of winning is 0.00001%, and I am going to modify this probability now, and his probability of winning is 0.00000." β
Gao Xin said and couldn't help complaining: "His level is really too poor, where does he get the self-confidence, he has to compete with Pengmaxi!" β
Cao Yana's face turned gloomy when she heard this, and she exhaled heavily, thinking about how to humiliate Du Xinghe later, he was really looking for trouble!
In the box area directly opposite the court, Zheng Sai, his coach Liu Wangsong, and several juniors were watching every move on the court behind the window.
If nothing else, Zheng will play the winner of Du Xinghe and Peng Maxi in a 16-8 match. So he's going to have to keep an eye on the two.
Ma Fang, who picked out Zhang Yiyang from the qualifying round, also watched the game with Liu Wangsong.
I have heard Liu Wangsong say before that Du Xinghe is a tennis prodigy, and these little junior brothers of the Ma side came to watch the game with an eye-opening mentality, and they didn't know that Du Xinghe had abused their master brother Zheng Sai a month ago. Zheng Sai didn't have the face to say this kind of thing, Liu Wangsong took care of Zheng Sai's face, and he didn't tell them, he just told these disciples that Du Xinghe was the most talented player he had ever seen in 30 years of tennis! (To be continued......)
