Chapter 210: A Strike Man

The American Lanas looked dazed, and he ran to the receiving position but swung his racket, and he didn't know why he made such a low-level mistake.

"It's probably because the game has just started, and the body hasn't warmed up yet, so this is the case, and I have to do more warm-up exercises before the game in the future. This is a ball of his luck and an ace! Lanas said in his heart.

In the thirties of tennis, the ace ball was not easy to appear, the tennis speed at that time was not fast, it was relatively easy to catch the ball, and due to the lack of spin of the ball, the players did not have good control over the landing point of the ball, and it was really a matter of luck to hit the ace ball.

Lanas was in position again and ready to catch the ball.

Chen Qiang has already seen that Lanas will not catch the spin ball, so he will not hurry up and beat the water dogs!

So Chen Qiang did not hesitate to send another topspin ball.

After the ball hit the ground, it bounced quickly, and Lanas ran to the receiving position again, and then swung his racket to hit the ball, this time his reaction was a little faster than just now, but the tennis ball still flew along the bottom of Lanas's racket and off the line.

"30-0" referee reported the results.

"It's empty again!" Lanas's expression froze violently.

Catching the ball and swinging it away was a low-level mistake for a beginner, and Lanas actually did this twice, which immediately caused a burst of disgruntled boos from the surrounding audience.

The audience spent money to buy tickets, hoping to see a good game, not to see the players make low-level mistakes, and if there is an occasional low-level mistake, the audience can tolerate it, and many viewers really can't bear this situation twice in a row.

The boos from the audience made Lanas a little upset, which also made him anxious, lost his normal judgment, and at this time he did not think about countermeasures, but simply had a competitive mentality.

For professional tennis players, it is a dangerous thing to lose the ability to think during the game and instead play with a competitive mentality.

Tennis is actually a very brain-using sport, and the running and hitting of players on the court seem to be physical sports, but they are actually psychological games. Especially in high-level competitions, the psychological level of the players is even more intense than the physical and technical competition.

Chen Qiang used a new technology that did not appear in this era, and it stands to reason that Lanas needs to calm down and think about countermeasures, but Lanas gave up thinking and turned to compete with Chen Qiang, and the result can be imagined.

Two consecutive successful serves boosted Chen Qiang's confidence, and he decided to challenge the ace directly.

On the third serve, Chen Qiang was not only pursuing strength and ball speed, but he also deliberately chose a more tricky angle.

"Poof!" There was a crisp rebound when the tennis ball landed, and then the referee said: "40 to 0!" ”

Chen Qiang successfully hit an ace ball, both in terms of speed and angle, impeccable, Lanas could only watch the tennis ball fly past him, and it was too late for him to catch the ball.

At this time, Lanas's mentality was a little broken, and since the start of the game, he has not even touched the ball.

Looking at the 40-0 score, Lanas has realized that he has lost this game, but if he is shaved head, the scene is indeed a little ugly, Ramos feels that even if he wants to lose this game, he has to score a point, even if he just wins a ball, it is much better than being shaved head.

Chen Qiang began to serve the fourth ball, and this time it was still an upspin ball.

Lanas held his strength, he wanted to get a point back in this goal, and he didn't want to be shaved by Chen Qiang.

The ball flew again, and Lanas moved to meet it, then swung his racket to hit it. Immediately afterward, Lanas felt a force coming from the racket, which was the impact of the tennis ball on the racket.

"Finally got the ball!" Lanas was overjoyed, and then he waved his arms in hopes of hitting a quality return.

However, in the next second, Lanas found that the tennis ball seemed to be out of control, and while exerting its own strength, it flew directly into the sky, and then fell out of bounds.

"1 to 0!" The referee opened his mouth to announce, which also meant that the first game was over.

Lanas looked confused again, as a player, he didn't seem to understand what was going on.

"I obviously received the ball just now, why did it fly out!" Lanas was puzzled.

With a rotating ball, it is natural to use some skills when receiving the ball, not only relying on strength and strength to hard, just like Taijiquan, which pays attention to overcoming rigidity with softness, combining rigidity and softness, and can often restrain some fierce boxing.

Lanas relies purely on power to catch this spinning ball, without any skill, and it is naturally easy to knock the ball away.

Winning a game with four serves is already the fastest way to win in tennis, and many spectators are still looking for a seat, only to find that the score of the first set has become 1-0.

"Did the game start early? How is it already 1 to 0. ”

"What happened just now, when I entered the stadium, the game had just started, and it was 1-0 when I found a seat?"

"It seems that four serves directly won the first game, is the gap between these two really so big!"

In tennis, although the service game has an advantage, the opponent can't even catch a ball in the service game, and the gap is a bit big.

The exclamation of the audience made Lanas on the sidelines more and more impatient.

In the first game, he didn't score a point and was shaved bald, this scene was ugly enough, the key was that in the whole game, his racket only touched the ball once!

Lanas has never been so depressed to lose, playing tennis matches, and he can't even touch the ball, so he still plays a yarn!

Fortunately, the next game is Lanas' serve, and Lanas at least doesn't have to worry about not being able to touch the ball.

There is almost no rest time between the two games, that is, enough to drink saliva and wipe sweat, and the game has only just been played, the players' physical fitness must be relatively abundant, and there is no need to rest for too long at this time.

And Lanas wanted the second game to start quickly, and he wanted revenge on his own serve, so he couldn't wait to stand on the court!

In fact, more rest time is good for Lanas, he can have a reason to calm down, adjust his mentality, and think about countermeasures.

If it is a mature player, he may deliberately delay a little time, adjust and think about how to deal with it, even if he can't think of a good way, it is good to make Chen Qiang's hot hand feel a little cooler.

However, Lanas is clearly not the kind of mature player, he chose to be tough with Chen, and it is the kind of hard steel that has no countermeasures at all, and is like a headless fly.

That's why Lanas is considered the "weak chicken" among the US Open players, but if he is slightly stronger, he will not have only one name on the US Open record, and there is no other information.

Lanas was in a hurry to appear on the stage to die, and Chen Qiang also fulfilled his wish and quickly stood on the field.

This is Lanas's serve, so Lanas has the initiative in this game, and Chen Qiang's task is to fight for a break.

I saw Lanas take a deep breath, bounce the tennis ball on the ground a few times, and then throw the ball high, swing the racket violently, and the tennis ball "swished" to Chen Qiang's half.

This ball speed is not very fast, but it is also very good, Chen Qiang can feel that Lanas is eager to get back face, so he tried his best when serving, but because of his technical level, even if he serves with all his strength, it is not too threatening for Chen Qiang.

According to the scoring criteria of NTRP in the future, players with a rating of 3.0 will be more stable in receiving serves, and when they reach a deuce of 3.5, they will not only be able to receive some medium-speed serves, but also be able to control the direction of returns. So even if it was Chen Qiang before, it was easy to receive a serve like Lanas.

And now Chen Qiang, after professional training in the training space, is no longer the original amateur player with a 3.5 rating, and now he not only has depth when receiving the serve, but also can change the serve according to the opponent's serve.

This time to receive the serve, Chen Qiang still used the technique of spinning.

"Bang!" Chen Qiang returned the ball to Lanas' half, and the tennis ball made a crisp sound when it landed.

Unrealised, however, that there was something unusual about the sound.

When the tennis ball lands, different degrees of rotation, the sound made when it falls to the ground is different, and the professional tennis players of later generations can judge whether the ball is topspin or downspin by listening to the sound of the tennis ball landing, and can judge the rotation force of the ball, and even judge the trajectory of the ball's flight.

The sound of the same racket hitting a tennis ball can also change depending on the speed of the ball, spin, or what kind of ball you want to hit.

Therefore, in future tennis matches, players want the audience to be quiet during the batting, so that they can judge the speed and spin of the ball by listening to the sound of the racket hitting the tennis ball and the sound of the tennis ball hitting the ground.

Lanas obviously didn't know this, he only made an ordinary return for Chen Qiang, but the ball speed was a little faster.

In fact, the landing point of Chen Qiang's hair extension is indeed not too tricky, and the topspin ball is relatively easy to control the landing point, and this is Chen Qiang's first time receiving the serve, and he is also focusing on stability, and does not choose a more extreme landing point.

But the ball speed and spin are just as good.

Lanas sensed the speed of Chen Qiang's ball, he quickly ran to catch the ball, but he still underestimated the large forward momentum and small reflection angle of the topspin ball, and when he rushed over to swing the racket to catch the ball, he found that the ball flew past him again and then bounced out of bounds.

"0 to 15!" The referee announced the results.

"I didn't get it again! I couldn't receive his serve before, but now I can't catch it no matter how I connect the serve! Lanaston looked frustrated.

The topspin ball is originally a way to hit the ball with strong rebound momentum, strong threat and high stability, and offensive players like to pull the topspin ball because the topspin ball is played more ferociously. Even when receiving the ball, pulling the topspin ball will turn the defense into offense, from passive to active.

Future players will often move backwards from the baseline when facing the topspin ball, which is actually a forced behavior, and the topspin ball is characterized by the fact that if the center of gravity is too forward, it will not be good to receive the topspin ball.

But where does Lanas understand this, and the result is that he can't catch the connecting serve.

Chen Qiang also saw that after being shaved bald in the first game, Lanas had not changed anything. This shows that Lanas not only can't catch the spin ball, but also doesn't think about how to catch the spin ball at all. In the face of this kind of player who fails and does not summarize the reasons and does not look for countermeasures, Chen Qiang naturally wants to carry out the topspin ball to the end.

This is like a duel between two martial arts masters, if there is a move that the other party can't break, then you can't use this trick to the ground!

Sports competitions have always been like this, such as in NBA games, if a tactical system cannot be cracked by the opponent, then this tactical system will continue to be used. If a team doesn't break the block, then every opponent will always use the block; If a team's three-point shot is weak, then every opponent will shrink to the three-point line to defend it, and even give you some open three-point opportunities. And when the tactical system is broken, the coach will call a timeout, or change the person and change the style of play.

"0 to 30!"

"0 to 40!"

The referee announced the score one after another.

At this time, Lanas's mentality was already a little unbalanced, this was his service game, and the score was 0-40, and he was about to be broken! And it's also a shaved bald hair!

In the opponent's service game, Lanas couldn't get a point, but in his own service game, Lanas didn't score a point, which is really a bit unreasonable.

What's more, in Lanas's own service game, his lost points were all lost on Chen Qiang's serve, which means that after Lanas served, Chen Qiang received the serve, but Lanas had problems in the process of fighting back.

For Chen Qiang, the service score is a one-shot to solve the battle, and the return score is also a one-shot to solve the battle, which means that Chen Qiang doesn't need a second beat to score on Lanas's head!

Defeating the enemy with one shot, it is a bit too much to say that it is a hanging beating.

Unconsciously, Chen Qiang has become a "one-hit man", and he only needs one blow to score.

……

"0 to 2!" The referee announced the score of the second game, and there was no doubt that Lanas lost the second game.

And after the referee announced the score, he couldn't help but want to yawn, this game is a bit too boring, Chen Qiang only needs one pat, he can score on Lanas's head, there is nothing to hold, there is no running back and forth, just swinging the racket, hitting the ball, scoring, such a game, there is no viewing at all.

In the third game, Chen Qiang's service game, the process was similar to the first game, Lanas still couldn't even play a successful return serve, and Chen Qiang served four consecutive times and won his own service game.

At this time, Lanas's mentality has completely collapsed! The opponent killed himself in one shot, and in this match, Lanas no longer wanted to play.

The game turned into a one-sided grind, and the crowd was bored, and every time Lanas didn't catch the ball, the boos rang out.

No spectator wants to pay to watch a game of punching a kindergarten and kicking a nursing home.

Finally, after losing the fourth game, Lanas finally couldn't take the torment anymore and he chose to abstain.

In the next four Grand Slams, it is impossible for a player to abstain in the middle of a match unless it is for physical reasons.

But in the twenties and thirties, it was normal for players to abstain, for example, in the US Open, which was a best-of-five format, but some players would choose to abstain after losing two sets by a large score, because they had realized that there was no hope of victory, so there was no need to continue struggling.

It's just that it's the first time that a person like Lanas didn't even finish a set, and only played four games and then abstained.

Chen Qiang almost bloodlessly advanced to the second round of the US Open.

……

The American Tennis Association, the bell rang, and the staff immediately picked up the phone.

"Hey, yes, I want to report the latest game situation ahead, okay, you say, I recorded it, the match between Chen Qiang and Lanas is over......" The staff member subconsciously looked at his watch and immediately asked: "Are you kidding?" The game didn't start until 3 p.m., it's 3:15, and you tell me it's over! Could it be that someone has been injured and retired? ”

"No one was injured? Before the first set was played, Lanas abstained? So what was the score of the first set? 4 to 0? This is also impossible, the game lasted a total of 15 minutes, but four rounds were played, an average of less than four minutes per game, and if you count the break in between, a game is a little more than two minutes! You're kidding? That's enough time to serve four times in two minutes! ”

"What? Is it four serves to win the game? Are you talking about being in more detail? Straight points on serve? Receiving the serve and scoring directly? Is it a one-hit score whether it is a serve or a return? How is this possible? No, no, no, I'm not saying that this can't happen, but this is the National Tennis Championships, how can there be such a big gap between the players? ”

The other party explained in detail, and said that thousands of spectators at the scene had witnessed all this, and the staff member of the American Tennis Association believed it.

After hanging up the phone, the staff member let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly.

"It was said that Lanas was the weakest player in this competition, but I didn't expect it to be so weak! At such a level, don't sign up for the competition, so as not to be ashamed! ”

The staff believes that Lanas is too vegetable, after all, he was hung and beaten like this, and anyone's first reaction was that Lanas's strength was too weak, not that Chen Qiang's strength was too strong.

Competitive sports often have similar misjudgments, such as playing football, if the national football team is kicked by the Brazilian team 10-0, then people's first reaction after hearing this score is definitely not that the Brazilian team is strong in football, people will think that the national football team is so weak, and it lost a 10-0, a group of weak chickens!

This is a normal inertial thinking, although the Brazilian team is really very strong, but when the score of 10-0 appears, normal people's focus is not on the strength of Brazil, but on the weakness of the national football team. The bigger the score gap, the more intuitive this impression will be, and when there is a huge gap, people will think about how weak it will be to lose so much, rather than how strong it will be to win so much.

This staff member of the American Tennis Association fell into this kind of thinking, because Lanas lost so badly, so he felt that Lanas must be too weak!
