Since the third-place and fourth-place matches and the final were scheduled to be played in the afternoon, Pansy saw that it was still early after the semi-final loss, so he drove home, cooked some food by himself, and then took a nap.

When I woke up, it was already half past one in the afternoon. When he re-arrived at the arena, he hurriedly changed into his jersey and boots, and went to the sidelines, exactly ten minutes before the bronze medal battle began.

Due to the unexpected loss in the morning, Pansiqi's super popularity accumulated in the previous rounds instantly dissipated a lot, and the audience on the sidelines in the afternoon was less than half of the morning. However, Pansiqi didn't care about any of this, he valued the 1,000 yuan prize that the third place would get. As long as there is money to take, even if there is no audience, it has nothing to do with him.

At this time, his opponent for this game was also ready and was doing warm-up exercises on the sidelines. This is a fairly young man, estimated to be only 24 or 5 years old, and he should be a new employee in their unit, so Pansic does not know his name. However, looking at his thick and powerful legs and thick waist and abdominal muscles, he is really a good figure for tennis. It's no wonder that he was able to break into the semi-finals at a young age, and his level was bound to be not too bad.

Another thing that attracted the attention of the young man was that there was a man in his fifties standing next to him, who was constantly talking to him, and from time to time he reached out to correct his warm-up movements. It seems to be guiding him to prepare for the game, and he should belong to the coach or something. Looking at the fact that between his eyebrows and eyes, he was quite similar to the young guy, and Pan Xiqi guessed that it was probably his father who came to the arena to guide his son in the game.

"It seems to be a father and son soldier in battle!" Pansic sighed.

Having a father or mother coach a player is quite common in the tennis world. Due to the huge cost of tennis and the surprisingly high salary of coaches, many tennis players with average family conditions are guided and trained by their parents from an early age, which can save huge coaching costs, and secondly, the relationship between father and son is long-term and stable, unlike coaches, who may end the partnership at any time, thus affecting the player's training plan.

In today's tennis world, there are several such pairs. A few years before Sava and Wozi debuted, their fathers were inseparable. The mines of England have always been there every game until now. What's more, it's directly a husband and wife file. Needless to say, the cow's sister-in-law not only accompanies her often, but also magically gives birth to two pairs of twins in a row, giving the cow two pairs of children, which is passed on as a good story in the tennis world. And China's proud sister Na and her husband often show affection, but they are also envious of others.

"Although my father is here, I can only disappoint you for the sake of the thousand dollars." Pansiqi silently said sorry to the young man and began to warm up.

Ten minutes later, the game started on time.

From the very beginning, the young man showed his physical strengths to the fullest. The powerful shot was as fast as a beat, like a mountain of seas, and it was about to engulf Pansic in an instant. Looking at the sharp and decisive attack, he is a typical offensive player.

Since his body mutated and tennis became instinctive, Panci seems to have been born with a natural ability to judge the type of opponent and come up with the right way to deal with it. He is an attacking player, and combined with the young age of the young man, Panci concluded that he is likely to be an impatient. To deal with this kind of player, as long as you hold the first few beats and slowly wrestle with him, you can naturally wait until his mentality is unbalanced.

The young man's attack is one of the strongest Panci has encountered since he entered this tournament, and his powerful shots combined with large angles are very threatening with every shot. But this degree is only relative to other people, and meeting Pansiqi is nothing.

Accurate prediction and early pace made Pansiqi calmly defuse the opponent's wave of offensive. Sure enough, as the game became more and more dragged into a multi-shot stalemate by Pansich, the young man began to be a little anxious.

The most typical manifestation is that there are more and more unnecessary mistakes, in order to pursue a slap to kill Pansic, the young man uses more and more force, and the choice of landing points is becoming more and more tricky, followed by more and more nets and out of bounds. As the game progressed, the young man could still play a few shots, but later he simply swept the ball away.

The score soon came to 3:0, with Pansich taking the lead. During the break, the young man's father came to the sidelines and criticized him harshly. Seeing that his son was a little unconvinced, the father, who understood his son's character, softened his tone again, and began to patiently explain the situation on the field and the next countermeasures to his son. Listening to his father's teachings, the young man's impatient mood suddenly calmed down a lot.

Pan Xiqi, who had been curiously observing the situation on the other side, didn't have to guess to know that his father must have calmed down the young man and slowly dealt with him. But this trick has no effect on himself at all.

Sure enough, the young man who returned to the court was much more patient than before the timeout, and no longer blindly pursued offense, but instead played a few beautiful defensive shots, and there were many fewer unnecessary mistakes. Pan Xiqi can't help but admire his father a little, it seems that this father's level is quite unusual, at least he is also a tennis master who is not weaker than his son, and he has a very accurate grasp of the situation on the court.

Seeing that his son really listened, the father on the sidelines couldn't help but smile. However, as the game progressed, his face gradually turned blue again. It turned out that the young man who played a protracted battle with Panci fell into the trap of Pansiqi, no matter how the young man changed his tactics, he faced a wall that would never make mistakes, and what kind of ball was defended back with high quality.

Gradually, the young man who had nothing to do with Pansich completely lost his patience and began to lose his mentality. Once the offensive player collapses, the scene is ugly, all kinds of outrageous mistakes emerge one after another, and the audience sighs again and again. When he saw his father, he walked directly to the side to chat with others, and it seemed that he had given up on his son's game a long time ago.

Soon, the score was fixed at the magical 6:1, Pan Xiqi won the game smoothly, and 1,000 yuan finally fell into the pocket safely.

After the game, the young man walked up to his father in extreme disappointment, muttering something in his mouth. It seems that he was very disappointed with his performance in this game. His father did not reprimand him, but after comforting him a few words, he summarized the problems in the game.

Just as Pansiqi was about to leave the court with his tennis bag and head to the locker room, the father trotted all the way to stop Pansiqi.

"That, you're Xiao Pan, right? It's inconvenient for Fang to say a few words? Father asked politely.

"Well, you're looking for me? You don't want to avenge your son, do you? "Pansiqi was a little strange.

"Yo, you guessed my identity, it's really good eyesight, just like on the field. Look at what you said, my son is not as good as others, I admire you before it's too late, how can I trouble you. The father was amused by Pansizy's humor and hurriedly explained.

"Then I don't know what you're looking for me?"

"Nothing special, just watched your performance and wanted to talk to you."

"Oh, I don't know what you have to say?" Pansiqi asked.

"I don't dare to give advice. Yes, I'm a tennis enthusiast and I usually play well. My son was taken by me to play tennis. This kid is in good physical condition and has great offensive power, but he is too impatient, and once he doesn't play well, he is easy to lose his temper on the field. I'm sure you can see it, didn't you just grasp his weakness very well and let him send the game out of the game by himself? ”

"Hehe, what you said is too exaggerated, I just can grind better, and I just lasted a few more beats." Pansiqi said modestly.

"But just a few more shots can see a lot of problems. Why can't my son last a few beats longer than you? It shows that your basic tennis skills are very solid, and your ability to hold each other is very strong, and my son is definitely not your opponent. In my opinion, you have always been in control of the initiative on the field, and no matter whether my son is attacking or defending, he will not be able to penetrate your defense. The father spoke in an admiring tone.

"You've won a prize." Pansy was overjoyed to hear this, but the feeling of being seen through the trick was a little unpleasant.

"It's just that I'm a little strange that I also watched the first few rounds of that Lin Qiang. He's good at his feet, but he's not good enough to beat you. Take my son's offense as an example, and I am confident that I can penetrate Lin Qiang's fast movement. But why did you lose to him yesterday? The father finally threw Pansizzy the question he wanted to know the answer to the most.

"Well, this... Unexpectedly, someone actually discovered the strangeness of the semi-finals, and Pan Xiqi instantly felt a little confused. It seems that the whole world is not all fools, and it is impossible for him to deceive everyone.

After choosing the various answers several times in his head, Pansiqi finally chose a reasonable explanation. "It's such an uncle, I was a little sick in the semi-finals yesterday, my feet were weak and weak, and I couldn't run a lot of balls that should have been in place. I was unlucky to meet an opponent like Lin Qiang who could run, so I was unlucky. ”

He sighed as he spoke, showing a feeling of great annoyance.

"That's right. If you can fight him so fiercely when you are unwell, you are really good. If he had met you today, there would have been no chance of making it to the finals. After listening to Pan Xiqi's explanation, although the young man's father was still a little confused, he still chose to believe him.

"Xiao Pan, I don't know if you've heard of CTAs?"

"CTA, what's that? I've heard of CBA. ”

"CTA is the English abbreviation of the Chinese Tennis Association, referred to as the China Tennis Association." The young man's father patiently explained.

"Hey, it turned out to be the China Tennis Association, and it has such a lofty name. But what do you mean by that, uncle? ”

"CTA often hosts the National Amateur Tennis Challenge, which is open to players who meet the CTA level. At your level, I don't see the need to compete at this level anymore. The CTA Challenge is an official amateur competition, featuring amateur masters from all over the country, and even retired professional athletes.

"Oh, there's an official amateur tournament, and it's the first time I've heard of it. Since you have specially recommended it to me, uncle, I will definitely pay attention to this information. Anyway, thank you," Pansic thanked the young man's father.

"Hehe, I just saw that you were a malleable talent, and I couldn't bear to let you be buried. As long as you are willing to participate, with your strength, you will definitely be able to achieve good results. ”

What the young man's father didn't expect was that just because of his advice, Panci opened another door to tennis and took another big step forward on the road to professional tennis.
