Chapter 15: Offensive and Defensive Conversion

"Hey, I finally won..."

Seeing that Wen Xiaoya won the first game, Ai Ze, who had been nervous, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the second game, the two sides exchanged venues, only to see Wen Xiaoya pick up the ball bag from the clothes basket and walk to the other side of the field, while Zhu Qing carried the ball bag and walked towards this side. ”

In the case of losing a game first, she actually laughed.

Wen Xiaoya's eyes looked straight ahead, and said coldly: "Why don't you use that trick?" ”

"Cut..."Zhu Qing scratched her neck with a pat, "It turns out that you haven't assaulted because you're afraid that I'll use that trick?" ”

"Don't forget, I was the one who won the first game." Wen Xiaoya didn't mean to chat anymore and continued to walk forward.

"Han Cang, should we follow along?" Ai Ze saw that the two sides had exchanged venues, and Wen Xiaoya just took out a sports drink from her bag.

Han Cang: "Forget it, this battle is between the two of them, let's just watch the game patiently." ”

"Oh." Seeing his thoughtful look, Aize stopped being verbose, picked up the mineral water and drank a few sips.

"Strange..."Han Cang's heart was shrouded in a layer of fog, and he pondered: "I always feel that something is not quite right... What the hell is going on..."

His mind was full of pictures of Zhu Qing hitting the ball.

Not only Han Cang alone, but all the onlookers, including Wang Yuxuan, looked very complicated, and there was no scene of discussion like in the game between Ai Ze and Liu Hainan, and the entire stadium was a little scary.

So the second game unfolded in this unsettling atmosphere, neither side had a clear advantage, even if one side gained an advantage, it was quickly erased, Wen Xiaoya and Zhu Qing each used a serve to score 2 points in a row, and the battle was tied 2-2.

2-2, Wen Xiaoya's serve.

Zhu Qing's footsteps have become significantly faster, and her hitting rhythm is also very fast, no longer splitting when she is pressed in the backcourt, but quickly hitting diagonal flat high balls to widen the distance from her opponent.

Wen Xiaoya chose to strike a straight line with her forehand after being mobilized, and Zhu Qing easily returned to a block, but Wen Xiaoya connected a hook with a feint. Zhu Qing was a little careless about this ball, she didn't return to the middle after blocking the net, and now she is far from the point of landing.

However, in the next second, I saw Zhu Qing save the ball, and took a big stride forward, and sat on the ground in the posture of "a word horse", which immediately caused an uproar in the audience, and everyone was stunned, although she hit the badminton, but unfortunately failed to cross the net, and then she stood up very easily, and pointed to the ground with her racket to signal that the referee was a little slippery.

The game was suspended and a member of the club entered the arena with a dry mop and began to clean the ground.

"I'm going... Just kidding, right? Ai Ze couldn't believe that Zhu Qing could stand up unharmed, he felt pain when he looked at it, didn't Zhu Qing strain his ligament?

Han Cang smiled: "Flexibility is indeed very good, which is also a characteristic of defensive players. ”

3-2, Wen Xiaoya's serve.

Both of them picked up their pace, hitting the ball at a fast pace back and forth, and the grab points were high on each shot. Wen Xiaoya quickly picked up the ball again after being blocked by Zhu Qing after the overhead split, but the quality of Zhu Qing's net was surprisingly good, resulting in the badminton grazing the net and flying into the air when Wen Xiaoya picked the ball, and the ball speed was greatly weakened, and the original backcourt ball became a half-court ball.

Zhu Qing quickly started to intercept and hit the opponent with a chasing ball.

2-3, Zhu Qing's serve.

After Zhu Qing returned to the service line after getting the new ball, she blew on the shuttlecock and then took a new serve stance.

When he saw that meticulous action of lifting the ball, Han Cang suddenly felt an inexplicable chill that hit his neck along the backbone bone. He then gasped, and his brain began to rac, calling up all the memories about badminton and piecing them together: a magnificent picture of the times, a legendary character who seemed to have come out of the picture scroll, perfectly reproduced this classic style of play that once dominated the badminton world.

When the picture scroll has disappeared and everything is calm again, the last thought left in Han Cang's mind is: In this game, Wen Xiaoya is going to lose...

5-3, Zhu Qing's serve.

Playing all the way from 2-3, Zhu Qing has scored 3 points in a row with one serve. Her pace is fast, but she only picks up the ball the moment she is about to hit the ball, and her steps are elastic when she returns to the defence, as if she is stepping on a pair of smart dancing shoes to move across the court.

The two of them started to pull each other from Zhu Qing's forehand area, and fought all the way to Wen Xiaoya's forehand area. Wen Xiaoya's two shots of the hanging straight line were picked back to the original point by Zhu Qing, and the third time she changed to the middle of the light hanging, and decided to attack as soon as the other party gave the next shot to the backcourt.

Zhu Qing didn't seem to feel threatened, and unhurriedly picked a baseline shot. Wen Xiaoya saw the opportunity and suddenly accelerated, stepped back and took a slash on the top of the head, and then stepped forward to grab the net.

Zhu Qing picked up this kill ball with a lunge before turning, she didn't make preparations to catch the ball after picking the ball, but the instant acceleration was comparable to Wen Xiaoya, and then with her delicate technique, she controlled the ball and returned to a blocking net.

Wen Xiaoya had already rushed to the net, raised her head and pressed towards the badminton.

"Tsk... Alas! When he saw the culling go down the net, Aize couldn't help but stomp hard.

"She's rushing too fast." Han Cang said as a matter of course.

Ezer: "W-What the hell is going on?" ”

Han Cang: "Mistakes are inevitable. ”

Ai Ze: "No, I mean, why is it Wen Xiaoya who attacked, but Zhu Qing played more easily?" And what was that wrist movement when she hit the overhead ball? ”

Since Zhu Qing changed to a new serving position, her lead shot action has also changed, and her wrist will be buckled inward first when she starts the racket, and then the moment she hits the ball quickly shakes.

Ezer: "Hey, what about you?" ”

Han Cang pondered for a moment and picked up a bottle of mineral water standing on the ground: "To understand why, you first have to know one thing..."

He stared at the water in the bottle and said, "In badminton skills and tactics, there is a [water realm]. ”

Ai Ze was slightly stunned: "What is the realm of water?" ”

Han Cang took a deep breath and quoted a famous quote from a philosopher to explain: "The world is weaker than water, but the strong can win." In this realm of water, it is believed that attack and defense exist at the same time and can be converted into each other, and the relationship between technique and footwork in badminton technology reflects the interaction between attack and defense. ”

"So metaphysical?" Ai Ze couldn't help but frown, expressing a hint of suspicion.

Han Cang unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took a sip of water: "Take the ball just now, Zhu Qing used a lunge to catch and kill for defense, but the shot she returned to block the net was for offense, and the defensive footwork complemented the offensive technique, so the killing ball that seemed to be uncatchable was still hit back by her." ”

Azer pondered his words.

Han Cang: "Wen Xiaoya's mistake is that she reversed the offense and defense. Zhu Qing hit this net Wen Xiaoya originally had a good chance, because she had already grabbed the net, as long as she attacked with her hands and defended with footwork, even if the ball was blocked back by Zhu Qing, for example, it was a push backcourt, she could immediately move to the backcourt to catch the ball. ”

"So when you say she's rushing too fast, you mean she's misusing her offensive footwork." Ai Ze gradually understood a little, he recalled Wen Xiaoya's grab to the net just now, her body center of gravity was too close to the net.

Han Cang: "Not only that, but she also hesitated to attack because she realized that she was rushing too fast, but this hesitation caused the start to be a little slower, the ball had begun to fall, and it was impossible to press through the net." ”

Ai Ze quietly thought about what Han Cang had just said, and began to worry about whether Wen Xiaoya could win the second game, because her personality was too strong, she would always give herself some unnecessary pressure, and the current situation was becoming more and more passive, so she was worried that she would not be able to bear it and be crushed by herself.

Han Cang: "Let's take a look, I may have to play three rounds." ”
