Chapter 53: The line is broken
5-1, with the active running and active scrambling at the beginning, Han Cang scored 5 points in a row, completely mastered the rhythm of the game, and completed the suppression of the opponent!
But the fierce competition also consumed a lot of consumption between the two sides, and Han Cang took the initiative to call a timeout and went to the sidelines to wipe sweat and drink water to replenish energy.
On the other hand, Malaysian player Huang Wenhan also wiped his sweat and hydrated, compared to Han Cang, he actually needed such a pause time to adjust his state, not only in physical condition, but also in mental state.
Although Huang Wenhan was expressionless and looked calm, his eyes were constantly fluctuating, and he seemed a little uneasy, obviously affected by the score behind, and his mentality collapsed a little.
In fact, when facing a disadvantage, the psychological quality of the players is also a very important point, and the psychological quality of the person who can become the world's top player must also be very strong.
But there is another kind of person who is more terrifying, he can gain insight into the opponent's psychological weaknesses, break through its psychological defense, and break the opponent's will by breaking down the opponent's mentality.
Han Cang just took advantage of Huang Wenhan's psychological weakness, he realized that this would be a difficult opponent when he conceded the first goal, because Huang Wenhan is a young player in the national team, and the technical level must be passable, but the only thing he lacks is game experience, especially foreign combat experience - how to deal with an opponent who is completely unfamiliar and does not know its technical characteristics? This is the answer that Huang Wenhan, and the young players including Xiao Zhan and Lin Huang, are looking for, but only when they have accumulated enough experience in the tournament can they figure out their own method, and before that, they must taste defeat first.
Han Cang exerted his strength at the beginning, and played very actively and hard, in fact, he wanted to break Huang Wenhan's mentality, because he had a hunch that if he dragged down with this guy and was familiar with his batting routine, the game would probably last for a long time, and if he was not careful, he might be dragged to the third game of life and death. Even if he is facing an opponent who is much weaker than himself.
Therefore, Han Cang's idea this time is to take the initiative at the beginning of the game and play a score difference, which will affect the opponent's mentality and lead to abnormal play, so that he can win relatively easy points and conserve his physical strength.
And things are indeed developing as Han Cang hoped, after the sweat wiping time ended, the two sides returned to the court, Han Cang suddenly slowed down the rhythm and returned to the most familiar style of play, one after another high and far balls, very pressing the bottom line, so that Huang Wenhan could not find a suitable counterattack opportunity, so he could only accompany him to slowly pull.
But in the process of pulling, Huang Wenhan misjudged Han Cang's high ball and thought it was a throw-in, so he didn't catch it, but when the badminton fell, the ball was pressed on the bottom line, and the score was effective, 6 to 1, and the score difference was further widened.
From this moment on, Huang Wenhan could no longer find his competitive state, made frequent mistakes, and was pressed by Han Cang in the second half of the first game, losing points very quickly, and finally fell behind with a score of 9-21, regrettably ending the first game.
Han Cang returned to the sidelines to wipe his sweat and rest, and at this time, the audience took the initiative to applaud again, affirming his performance in the first game.
Manager Zhang and translator Xiao Meng sat on the sidelines, the expressions on their faces were much more relaxed, talking and laughing, and they were full of confidence in this game.
"That Malaysian young man is actually good, I estimate that his strength is similar to Xiao Zhan, but unfortunately his psychological quality is not enough... When I fell behind, I obviously couldn't keep up, and I made too many mistakes, but it's a pity..."Zhang Wenlin commented, and Xiao Meng on the side nodded again and again.
At the same time, Han Cang picked up the racket and touched it, and found that the line was loose, but fortunately there were two spare rackets, and it was normal for the string on the racket surface to be loose due to frequent and vigorous hits in the game, and even the line would be broken, so players usually brought two spare rackets to the sidelines when they went on the court, just to deal with this situation.
So at the beginning of the second game, Han Cang took a spare racket and returned to the field, this detail Zhang Wenlin and Xiao Meng did not notice, they were already absent-minded at this time, looking around, talking and laughing, and Han Cang was a hundred reassuring.
0-0, the second game began, and the side that won the previous game, Han Cang served.
At the beginning of the short ball, Huang Wenhan returned a shot to put the net, Han Cang followed up, backhanded shot, a backhand skateboard to put a slash, and flicked the ball over the net with the front end of the racket head - this feint tricked Huang Wenhan to, in this state of high mental tension, the opponent's hand movements, every detail will be magnified, but too much attention to the details will ignore the whole, the more focused the easier it is to hit the plan - when Huang Wenhan realized that this was a slash, he quickly rushed to the other end of the net, quickly stretched out the racket, and hit the ball with his forehand, Picked a shot of backcourt balls.
After all, Huang Wenhan was deceived by a feint, and it was already rare to be able to save the ball, but his hitting point was relatively low, and it was too difficult to make it a tennis ball, and Han Cang was already standing opposite to seal the net, so it was best to pick the backcourt for this ball, distance himself from Han Cang, and then look for opportunities.
Han Cang quickly returned to the backcourt, raised his racket, and slapped the top of his head very covertly, the speed was extremely fast, and the angle of inclination was very large, only to see that the badminton was like a meteor falling on the court, quickly brushing over the net and flying near the sideline.
Huang Wenhan hurriedly rushed up to save the ball, he didn't rush to retreat to the backcourt just now, he was guarding against Han Cang's hand - I saw Huang Wenhan start from the midfield, and with his passing speed, he rescued the ball near the sideline in time, and returned to the tennis ball.
If this ball is judged from Han Cang's position, it will be troublesome to save it, the overhead split diagonal he just now hit from the far corner of the backcourt, but was successfully caught by Huang Wenhan, and returned a shot to the net, unless Han Cang can run from the backcourt to the frontcourt in a second and cross a diagonal, otherwise he will not be able to touch the ball at all.
The fact is that Han Cang did not choose to save the ball, because he felt that this kind of running consumed too much physical strength, so he stood in place, without any intention of saving the ball, and watched the badminton fall lightly on the court, so he lost his first point in the second game.
0-1, Huang Wenhan took the lead.
The serve was finally exchanged to Huang Wenhan, who shook his collar, readjusted his breathing, and then prepared to serve.
At the beginning of the short ball, Han Cang followed up and directly returned a shot to release the tennis, and on the other side, Huang Wenhan also returned a shot to release the net, and the two of them were on the bar again.
But after putting four or five shots in front of the net in a row, Huang Wenhan took the initiative to give up before the net, and chose to pick a shot in the backcourt, Han Cang quickly retreated to near the bottom line, while Huang Wenhan stayed in the midfield, in order to respond to all changes.
After seeing the other party's position, Han Cang retracted his gaze, looked up at the badminton falling from the sky, the muscles of his whole body tensed, all his senses were mobilized, he jumped up suddenly, and suddenly slapped the top of his head to kill the opposite corner!
The audience on the sidelines was taken aback, and in an exclamation, they saw that the initial speed of the badminton was super fast, and the blink of an eye passed through the court, but the speed dropped sharply in the second half, and suddenly became soft and fluttering, Huang Wenhan seized the opportunity to return to the net, Han Cang could actually seal the net, but I don't know why, he was stunned in place, did not run, but stared at the racket in his hand in a daze.
0-2, Han Cang lost another 1 point, at this moment, I saw him signal to the referee that he needed to replace the racket, the spare racket in his hand that had just been used for a short time, when he killed the ball just now, the line actually collapsed.
