Chapter Seventy-Seven: Temptation

Accidentally meeting the goddess in her heart really made Pansiqi excited. Especially the bet he made with the other party temporarily, it was simply a proper way to get Wang Yan's WeChat account. What should I say first thing after becoming friends with Wang Chang? Hello? It seems a little too commonplace. In this way, Pansiqi tossed and turned in bed for most of the night before falling asleep. In his dream, he even saw himself holding Wang Yan's little hand.

Early the next morning, Pansic finished breakfast and headed straight to the arena. On the second match day, the doubles match of this Grand Prix will also officially begin. Starting today, both he and Lin Teng will face a tough schedule of one-day double matches.

Since the doubles match is scheduled in the afternoon, the second round of singles matches between him and Lin Teng will be played in the morning. After a difficult victory over Zhang Tianshuo in the first round, Lin Teng successfully replaced the opponent's high-seeded signing, so the opponent in the second round was not very strong. With Lin Teng's current state, there is a high probability of winning.

A total of 64 players will compete in the men's singles competition, with 16 seeded places, and the first two seeded players will not meet each other. Pan Xiqi had good luck in the first round of the lottery and met Qin Fen, who was mediocre. But in the second round, it was not so lucky, and he faced 14th seed Xiao Lin, a player from Jiangsu.

Although Xiao Lin is not as strong as Zhang Tianshuo, he also has a certain strength to be a seed. Although he has not yet reached the semi-finals in domestic competitions, he has shown strong competitiveness at the age of 20 this year.

However, Xiao Lin has not had a smooth life in the Jiangsu team in the past two years, as the second men's singles, he has been suppressed by the first brother Zhang Ze in the team for a long time, which makes him feel that he has never been able to get rid of Zhang Ze's shadow. Therefore, this National Tennis Grand Prix is of great significance to him. Consciously fully prepared, he decided to hit the semi-finals and even the championship in this competition, so that others could know that in addition to Zhang Ze, the Jiangsu team also has him Xiao Lin.

He made it to the cut with little challenge in the first round and was a bit of a surprise against Pansiqi, who faced his opponent in the second round. Before the game, he naturally saw the report about Pansiqi, thinking that he was just a weak person who walked through the back door, and there was no chance to walk in front of him.

But when he learned that Panci had won the first round, he was still shocked. Because according to the news that the coach came back, Panci's age and identity as an amateur player are true, but the strength shown is seriously inconsistent with what the report said.

Although Pan Xiqi easily swept Zhang Tianshuo with two 6:1, Xiao Lin still didn't care too much about it. Zhang Tianshuo had encountered him once in a previous game, and he won easily, and even gave the other party a duck egg. Therefore, in his mind, it is not how strong Pan Xiqi is, but that Zhang Tianshuo is too weak.

Although he didn't care too much, out of a cautious attitude, Xiao Lin still asked the coach to provide him with Pancic's match information so that he could prepare for the second round. However, as the first round was not televised, it was not possible to get the footage. The coach probed around, but only got the simple information that Pancicic was an offensive player and served particularly fiercely.

"Offensive players? Just collided with me. Hehe, Pansiqi, I don't know if you'll be able to withstand my assault by then. Xiao Lin looked confident.

The game started at 10 o'clock in the morning, and since Xiao Lin was a seeded player, the match was arranged on a slightly larger court, so that the audience could seat four or five hundred people. With five minutes to go, the audience filled their seats again, and it seemed that the impact of the story was still going on. It's just that after the surprise win in the first round, the audience no longer questioned Panci and instead wanted to see how far he could go in this competition.

"I said why did you pull me to watch Panxiqi's game today, Peng Fat's game will start in a while, and I want to see our golden flowers." A spectator asked his companion with some complaint.

"Hey, what's so good about the women's game. Yesterday's Pansiqi game, don't you think it was very enjoyable? Just the 200-kilometer ace balls, one after another, where can you easily see it in the domestic arena! His companion replied excitedly.

"That's right, I watched the **** yesterday. Well, since you're here, let's see what amazing Pansic will do today. "I didn't expect that just yesterday's game, Pansic managed to attract a lot of fans.

In addition to the audience who wanted to continue tracking Pansiqi's performance, there was also a special guest sitting in the audience. I saw that in the middle of the first row, Director Liu of the network management center was looking at Pan Xiqi who was practicing on the field, and he was talking to the staff around him from time to time.

This staff member was the one who accompanied Director Liu to watch the game, and at this time he was full of shame, lowered his head and only cared about replying, and did not dare to look at Director Liu at all. It seems that due to lying about the military situation, after the first round of the competition yesterday, he was criticized by Director Liu.

The appearance of Director Liu made the coaches on both sides nervous, because if the leader watched the game frequently, it meant that he was interested in a certain athlete. Judging from Director Liu's two consecutive days of watching Pan Xiqi's game, he seems to have shown special interest in Pan Xiqi.

But Pansiqi can't do that much, all he thinks about now is how to win this match as soon as possible, so that he has plenty of time to prepare for the doubles match in the afternoon.

After the practice is over, the game begins, and Xiao Lin takes the lead in serving.

As an offensive player, Sholin's serve is really not weak. Although there is no 200 km/h level, a speed of 190 km/h can still be guaranteed. On the first serve, Xiao Lin sent a flat shot with all his might, wanting to give the opponent a dismount first.

After full power, an outside corner serve smashed into Pancic's return area.

"Hey, this service level is still good." I didn't expect Xiao Lin to have such a serve, and Pansic looked a little surprised.

However, it is just a little unexpected, this kind of 190km outside corner serve may already be a strong weight for others, but he still doesn't pay attention to it. With accurate prediction, he raised his foot and stepped to the right, and just rightly pushed out a mid-lane return ball.

Pansiqi's return did not rush as soon as he came up, first, the ball speed was indeed not slow, and he didn't want to play too aggressively in the first point; Second, he returned to the middle with the intention of testing the opponent.

This kind of deep mid-range ball is the best way to quickly test the opponent's style of play. If you are an offensive player, you will definitely see this kind of ball as a good offensive opportunity, and you will tear up a large angle directly into it. If it is a defensive player who is not very confident in his offensive skills, he will often conservatively return to a deep bottom line area in order to seek opportunities to hold on to more shots.

For Shawring, this kind of ball is a must-play offense. Pansiqi's high-quality return ball was actually a bit of a surprise to him. In his opinion, there is almost nothing to be faulted with on his first serve, and the speed, angle, and power are perfect. However, the expected ace did not appear, and even this serve barely gave him an advantage on the court.

Because Panci's prediction was so accurate, he arrived early and quickly returned to the middle of the baseline after receiving the serve, and did not lose his defensive position because of the return serve.

"It seems that there are really two shots that can get my serve back. But next I attack this time, it's up to you to see if you can withstand it! Xiao Lin thought to himself.

In the face of Pancic's return ball from the middle, he did not hesitate to dodge the forehand position and directly blasted a diagonal shot sideways. This attack can be seen that his offensive strength is still relatively solid, not to mention the full force, the angle is also very tricky, and the landing point of the ball is almost smashed to the sideline.

"Beautiful! As soon as he came up, he played such a line, and it seems that Pansiqi's opponent is in good shape today! There were audience members who secretly applauded.

After the ball, Shawlin was also very satisfied with the effect of the attack. Just when he expected Pancich to run in place and was about to collect the points, Panci somehow appeared near the point where the return ball landed.

"What a fast movement speed! How did he do it? Seeing Pansiqi actually arrive in advance, Xiao Lin couldn't believe his eyes.

This shot back the ball, and Pansiqi, who was in place, could have directly changed a straight line with a forehand to sneak into a sneak attack. But now he doesn't seem to be planning to do so. The game was just at the beginning, and he wanted to test the opponent's offensive level.

With a flick of the forehand, the tennis ball was quickly sent back to the middle of Sholin. Due to the great power of Xiao Lin's previous hit, the speed of Pan Xiqi's return shot, which was fully borrowed, was not slower than Xiao Lin's attack.

originally thought that Pan Xiqi would choose to directly sneak attack his backhand, Xiao Lin was always ready to make up for his backhand. Seeing Panci return to the middle again, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Hehe, it's such a soft egg to not take advantage of such a good offensive opportunity. It seems that the information received by the coach before the game is still inaccurate, and this kind of performance is like an attacking player. In this next shot, let me show you what a real offensive player is! ”

Secretly proud in his heart, Xiao Lin faced Pansiqi's return ball, and chose to attack with a forehand. Only this time, he switched to a diagonal line and hit the ball to the big diagonal on the other side.

This combination of left and right diagonal lines is often very effective and can make the opponent struggle on the baseline. Xiao Lin has this idea now, and he wants to make Panci completely unable to parry through his own active attack.

However, the expected person still did not appear on the back horse, and on the rebound line of the tennis ball, Pansic waited there for some time. Shawlin's attack was safely defended by Pansic, still in the middle, and until now, Pansic has not played any large-angle returns.

Another two-shot rush, this time Shoting not only chose the angle but also took risks, and even tried to compress Pansiqi's return time by speeding up the tempo of the shot.

"Damn! How can it not have any effect at all? Seeing that his attacks in a row were easily defused by Pansiqi, Xiao Lin was a little anxious. It stands to reason that the effect of his racket is very good, and ordinary opponents should be unable to parry. Just like the one in the first round, if he can't prevent two beats, he will reveal a big gap and let him score calmly.

However, against Pansiqi, his offensive power seems to be infinitely reduced. Not to mention getting a vacancy, even forcing Pansiqi to lose his position slightly can't do it.
