Chapter 11: Sportsmanship

The shouts of Ai Ze's victory attracted the attention of others in the arena, the arrangement of the game schedule was nearing the end, Zhu Qing no longer stared, she also came to the side of the court, and the players in the women's group, and even the doubles group, were also attracted to the sidelines, and the surrounding area of the court was flooded.

"Oh my God... Ai Ze this..."Wen Xiaoya looked dazed, she didn't expect Ai Ze to fight so hard.

Han Cang on the side was silent, looking at Ai Ze on the field, the action and demeanor when he saved the ball just now couldn't help but remind Han Cang of a certain save by Xu Muyang in the final of the National Games last year... This is not to say that Ai Ze's movements are like Xu Muyang, but from him, Han Cang saw his former teammates and opponents, in those ordinary days, how they sweated like rain on the court, carried out those boring and monotonous training day after day, constantly improved their skills, and gradually challenged higher goals...

9-8, both sides returned to their respective positions, and Aize served.

After the start, Aize continued to play and hang, but learned the previous lesson, he no longer sent the ball to Liu Hainan's backhand area, just two shots to kill the ball in the midfield, Liu Hainan was completed in the backhand area, so Aize deliberately avoided the opponent's strong area, and mainly attacked Liu Hainan's forehand area backcourt.

This was the final counterattack, Aize put all the remaining physical strength into the scramble, he accelerated the attacking tempo in the midfield, frequently used pressure and volleys to control the initiative, he hit every shot quickly, "Bang! Bang! The crisp and crisp sound of hitting the ball echoed on the field, making people's nerves tense and tense, and nervous heartbeats faster and faster.

Liu Hainan: "It's just a madman, but you have to fight for your physical strength..."

I saw that Liu Hainan had no time to change his movements under the fast-paced hitting, and could only passively return the ball.

"You're still early!" But he suddenly picked up his pace, and tried his best to stifle Ezer's attack with the killing ball.

With a shot on the top of the head, Liu Hainan pressed a beat again in the corner of the backcourt in the forehand area, only to see the badminton ball like a swift arrow, swishing through the court at once, hitting outside the sideline and inside the doubles line.

10-8, due to Liu Hainan's mistake in this shot, Ai Ze went to the next city and continued to lead!

Wen Xiaoya, who was sitting on the sidelines, breathed a sigh of relief, this game was almost heartbreaking, and the two sides fought really fiercely.

Even Han Cang on the side, his expression was very solemn, but he was a little distracted when he stared at the court, as if his attention was not all on the game, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The game continues.

After kick-off, the two sides fought again, and the game was inseparable, each launched a rain of bullets to the opponent's field, and the rhythm of the game has completely changed from the original multi-shot and hanging to a half-court bombardment.

The spectators on the sidelines were nervous and excited, and the atmosphere of the game was completely mobilized.

I saw that Liu Hainan suddenly slapped the downward pressure of the midfield, and began to speed up the offensive rhythm, Ai Ze was caught off guard, and returned a very general pick, as a result, Liu Hainan relied on his height advantage to intercept the ball halfway, and it was a shot of midfield downward pressure, Ai Ze defended again, and then Liu Hainan continued to press down, and the fast attack of consecutive shots made Ai Ze not even have a chance to breathe, he could only be passive defense, and the quality of the pick was worse than the previous shot, and finally Liu Hainan seized the opportunity, pressed the opposite corner with a beat, and hit the badminton into the sideline near the edge of Ai Ze's forehand area, Won the serve!

8-10, Liu Hainan serves.

It seems that he has not recovered from the consumption of the extra shot just now, Aize did not play well in this round, and soon made a mistake in putting the tennis ball, and the badminton failed to pass the net, losing a precious 1 point.

9-10, Liu Hainan recovered 1 point.

In this round, Aize continued to pull the ball high and far, but after a few beats, he suddenly shot high, and actually used a move to split the net!

Liu Hainan was shocked at the time, and was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly ran over to chase the ball, but the return ball hit the net and gave away the right to serve.

At 10-9, Eze regained the serve.

After the kickoff, the two sides continued to pull the bottom line, Liu Hainan grabbed the attack, although there was no jumping action, but he relied on his height advantage, he still clicked the ball high, and hit a shot of the head to kill the opposite corner, but the ball was arrived by Ai Ze in time, the forehand out of the racket blocked the badminton, back to the front court ball, although the quality is not high, but Liu Hainan did not dare to take it lightly, quickly rushed up to save the ball, back to the net, and then Ai Ze stepped forward to catch the ball, stretched out the head at the same time, Liu Hainan was ready to defend the backcourt ball.

However, in the next second, I saw Ai Ze's elbow bent and his arm tilted sideways, although the action still looked relatively stiff, but he successfully used a skateboard ball that was not perfect - the head of the racket missed the falling shuttlecock, and the ball was gently picked up with the center of the racket surface, which was a diagonal net!

Liu Hainan: "What!?" ”

Just when Liu Hainan, and even everyone on the court thought that Ai Ze was going to pick the ball, he actually made a backhand skateboard and put a slash!

The quality of this feint is actually not high, at best it can only be regarded as an imitation, but whether it is Liu Hainan on the field or the audience off the field, they are all affected by inertial thinking, thinking that Aize will pick the backcourt, but he chose to put the net at this time! And although the extra movements in Aize's hands looked clumsy, they helped him deceive his opponents, and Liu Hainan couldn't judge what his return was like through the fragmentary and superfluous movements in Aize's hands, which seemed to be disorganized, and he was hit.

11-9, Eze scored 1 more point, and there were only 4 points left before the end of the game!

Wen Xiaoya: "Oh my God... I didn't expect Ai Ze to play so well! ”

Even Wen Xiaoya was a little impressed by Ai Ze, and Han Cang, who was sitting on the side, was still silent, in fact, in his heart, a novel idea gradually appeared: although Ai Ze has a thin foundation, poor foundation, and poor physical fitness, but his learning ability is very strong, there are many technical moves in this game that Han Cang has not had time to teach him, but Ai Ze absorbed the advantages of his opponent in the process of fighting Liu Hainan, and gradually began to master these movements through actual combat, and is growing at an incredible speed. So in a sense, he's also a genius!

11-9,10-11,12-10,11-12,12-12,13-12,14-12…

The game on the court intensified, a total of 3 balls were wasted in just 2 minutes, and the two people bit the score very tightly, climbing alternately, and finally came to 14-12, Eze led by two points and took the lead to get the match point!

The two sides entered the final sweat wiping time, Ai Ze returned to the sidelines, Wen Xiaoya stood up excitedly, she didn't know what to say, the more critical she came, the more afraid she was of saying the wrong thing, afraid of bringing unnecessary pressure and burden to Ai Ze.

And Aize didn't mean to speak, he wiped his sweat and returned to the field silently.

14-12, Eze's serve.

After the opening game, in an offensive and defensive battle at half-time, Eze's midfield volley was not high enough, resulting in the return of the ball to the net, and he had to regretfully hand over the serve.

After this riposte, he suddenly felt some numbness in his forearms and soreness in his calves.

"Oh no," Ezer realized that his stamina had reached the limit and that the race was coming to an end.

As he had a hunch, in the next competition, the gap in physical fitness between the two sides gradually became prominent, Liu Hainan became more and more courageous, using a chance to serve to chase 3 points in a row, and the score came to 15-14, achieving a reversal! And got the match point!

According to the rules of the Badminton Federation, when the score of a game is tied at 14, one side must lead by two points to win, that is to say, if Ai Ze does not score again, then Liu Hainan must win another point, with a total score of 16-14 to win, this set of scoring methods, whether it is a 15-point system under the old rules or a 21-point system under the new rules, are consistent.

"I'm really going to lose..."Aize felt his muscles sore, he felt tired when he gasped, the end was getting clearer and clearer, the general trend was gone, he dragged his tired body to play the last round, and at the moment when the last shot returned to the net, he was not frustrated by the defeat, because this match had exhausted all his energy, and in the end he only had a sense of relief, finally relieved.

The strange thing is that when the score was fixed at 16-14 and Liu Hainan won, the court seemed extraordinarily quiet, no one applauded this result, everyone just accepted such a result, in fact, winning or losing the game, in the eyes of everyone, is no longer important.

I saw Liu Hainan standing in front of the net, his face did not have the slightest light of a winner, but a trace of exhaustion, looking at Ai Ze who silently turned around and left the arena, he suddenly shouted: "Ai Ze! ”

Ai Ze was as tired as a dog, and when he heard Liu Hainan shouting to himself, he just stopped and glanced at each other blankly:

I saw Liu Hainan dragging the same tired body and walking towards him step by step, and when he walked in front of Ai Ze, Liu Hainan stretched out his hand and said to Ai Ze: "Fight beautifully." ”

Ai Ze did not hesitate, in fact, his mind was not very clear, without thinking about reaching out his hand, and Liu Hainan shook hands, and at this moment, the sidelines finally sounded a long-lost applause, and the first to applaud was Zhu Qing, the vice president of the badminton club, under her drive, all the people who witnessed the game applauded:

"Come on!"

"Good fight!"

"Keep it up!"

Wen Xiaoya also applauded along, cheering for the two players who gave such a wonderful game, and Han Cang, who was standing behind her, also showed a rare smile.
