Finally, in a tense atmosphere of the whole team, it was decided whether the players could win the only two remaining main positions, so as to participate in the national tennis Grand Prix in a few days.

Before the game, Coach Zheng specially announced to the whole team that Pan Xiqi would not participate in the selection competition and directly obtain the main position. Regarding this news, as Coach Zheng said, no one objected.

The original 13 male players of the Beijing team, plus the addition of Pan Xiqi and Lin Teng, reached a total of 15 people. Except for Pansiqi, the remaining fourteen people have to compete for two places, and the battle situation is not unmistakable.

As we have introduced before, six or seven of the veteran players can attack the main position, plus Lin Teng, who is a new recruit, everyone's strength can be said to be equal, and even Coach Zheng, who knows the strength of the players, can't say who can stand out and win the top two in the end.

At this time, Coach Zheng was on the sidelines with Pan Xiqi, ready to watch the next game. Seeing that Pan Xiqi was very relaxed and humming a little song in his mouth, Coach Zheng was a little surprised. He teased: "I said Xiao Pan, you really don't care about yourself." Aren't you worried about Lin Teng? In this selection competition, several veteran players have worked hard and are bound to win the main position. ”

He continued: "And this selection tournament is a big round-robin format, each player needs to play the rest of the people once, and the top two in the final score will get the right to qualify." In other words, there is no chance in the game, and the fight is completely hard power. I think Lin Teng is very talented, but he is still too young after all. It's not always good to get results in this kind of wheel war. ”

After listening to Coach Zheng's words, Pan Xiqi smiled and said lightly: "Hehe, coach, don't worry." These days, I accompany Lin Teng to practice at noon every day, and I know best what his strength is. In my opinion, there are few people in the Beijing team who can really pose a threat to him in this competition. ”

"Oh, you're so confident in him? However, you've played against all of the guys you're going to play on the day you joined, so your judgment should be the most convincing. Okay, then I'll wait and see if this kid will live up to your expectations. ”

At this time, Lin Teng had already completed the warm-up exercise, and was holding a tennis racket, looking at the opponent opposite. His first opponent was not very strong, and he was a substitute for the Beijing team all year round. And it's 24 years old this year, and there's not much room for growth. Therefore, for this trial, he just has the mentality of focusing on participation, and does not have much hope for the final result.

Sure enough, as soon as the game began, the scene began to fall to Lin Teng's side. Facing Pan Xiqi, Lin Teng was suppressed and breathless. But in the face of a player whose strength is weaker than himself, Lin Teng's fast-paced style of play was fully developed.

Although Lin Teng's opponent has solid basic skills and is stable in holding the ball, the aggressiveness of hitting the ball is relatively insufficient, and he does not have too strong means of assault scoring. For this kind of player, Lin Teng insisted on grabbing points from the beginning, compressing the opponent's return time and space little by little.

Sure enough, under the pressure of Lin Teng, the opponent began to have a situation where the return defense was not in place, and the quality of the return ball also dropped sharply. In Lin Teng's eyes, the gap on the opponent's field is getting bigger and bigger, and scoring is becoming easier and easier.

Soon, Lin Teng won the game with two 6:2 and won his first victory in thirteen rounds.

Lin Teng's first game not only had Coach Zheng and Pan Xiqi watching from the sidelines, but also attracted a lot of attention at the same time. The vast majority of them came from his direct competitors in this tryout. The men's players had already seen Lin Teng as a strong contender before the game, so they paid special attention to his debut.

After watching Lin Teng's performance, they all felt a serious threat, raising Lin Teng's danger level by several levels. However, Lin Teng himself did not feel any about his first big victory, because his goal in this competition was to lock in the main position with a complete victory. For him, even losing a game is a failure, and he is worthy of Pansiqi's selfless help.

At the end of the first game, Pan Xiqi took the initiative to walk next to Lin Teng, talked to him about the problems and shortcomings in the game, and put forward the details that need to be paid attention to in the future games. Lin Teng also felt that he had benefited a lot when he heard this, and nodded frequently. Seeing this scene, the faces of those male team members became even worse. With the help of the monster Panxiqi, Lin Teng's chances of winning this selection competition will become much greater.

In the next three days, Lin Teng won ten games in a row, and almost all of them won the game with a score of 2:0. Lin Teng's strong performance shocked everyone in the Beijing team, and it can be said that Lin Teng is now very hopeful of taking the lead in qualifying.

However, in the penultimate match, Lin Teng finally encountered the biggest challenge of this selection competition. This time he met an old fritter recognized in the Beijing team, this old fritter is not about how smooth he is, but about his style of play.

Contrary to Lin Teng's fast-paced play, he adopts an entanglement style of play, slowing down the pace of the game as much as possible, dragging the opponent with relatively good defensive skills, and waiting for the opponent's mistakes.

It can be said that this style of play is exactly the type that Lin Teng is most afraid of encountering at this stage. Because Lin Teng's game is fast, and the pursuit is to end the battle as soon as possible. However, when he encountered this opponent, no matter how he grabbed the point and played the rhythm, the opponent always came back the ball well and dragged the game into a stalemate. At the same time, the opponent also made good use of skillful techniques to play different spinning balls, which slowed down the pace of the game and increased the difficulty of Lin Teng's judgment of the ball's flight trajectory.

In this way, Lin Teng, who had been smooth all the way, could not control the situation as quickly as before in the game under the strong sniping of his opponent. On the contrary, as the rounds increased, he became more and more impatient. Eager to win the opponent through attack, he made more and more fearless mistakes. Finally, with an outrageous out-of-bounds shot, he lost the first set of this selection tournament with a score of 3:6.

During the break, Pan Xiqi came to Lin Teng's side. At this time, Lin Teng was very depressed in his heart, and his thoughts were a little confused. Seeing Pan Xiqi, he said with annoyance: "Uncle Pan, this opponent is really like a piece of kraft candy, I can't beat it no matter how I fight." He's just defensive, and he's messing with me with different spins. I don't know what happened in this first set, and I lost it in a daze. ”

Pan Xiqi couldn't help laughing when he saw Lin Teng's expression at this time, it seems that this kid is really only eighteen years old, after all, he is still too young, he is easy to be impatient when he encounters problems, and he just fell into the trap of others.

He comforted Lin Teng and said, "You, you just made the mistake of being impatient." Have you noticed that in the first set your opponent basically did not take the initiative to attack, and almost all of his points were based on your mistakes? ”

Being reminded by Pan Xiqi like this, Lin Teng thought about it and felt that it seemed to be the case. "But his defense is very stable, and I can't break through without playing from a wide angle, so there are naturally a lot of mistakes. If the second set hadn't changed, this match would have been really troublesome. Lin Teng was a little worried.

"I think there are some balls, obviously it is a good opportunity to attack, but he also chooses to return the ball conservatively, and would rather wait for your mistake than attack, what does this mean?" Pan Xiqi was guiding Lin Teng little by little.

"This situation shows that he trusts his defense more than anything else, and at the same time he doesn't have much confidence in his offense?" Lin Teng began to grasp the point.

"Yes, when you first played with me, I noticed that this man is a pure defensive person, and his style of play is very grinding, he doesn't make mistakes easily, but he doesn't attack either. You must not be in a hurry against this kind of player, otherwise you will fall into his trap. Pansic spoke his mind.

"I think about saying that, he was one of the few players who could fight you for multiple rounds at the time. But in the end, he still didn't get a score from you, and I remember you seemed to be just fighting him and not trying to change. Lin Teng recalled the situation on the day he joined the team.

"Hehe, you finally know what to do with him. In the next game, you will hold him in the middle and don't take the initiative to change. I'm sure I've been practicing with you for so many days, and there shouldn't be any problems for you in the middle of the road for multiple rounds, right? ”

"Haha, uncle, you're too smart. This kind of player, since it's a piece of kraft candy, then I have to grind more than him. Even if I have to fight for physical strength in the end, I have to be younger than him after all, and dragging him can bring him down. Lin Teng said excitedly, at this time he finally had a clear battle plan in his mind.

At the beginning of the second set, Lin Teng was like a different person, no longer in a hurry to attack, but took the initiative to play the ball. Not only did he hold each other for many rounds, but Lin Teng also took the initiative to hit the ball in the middle, and it looked like he wasn't even ready to ask for the angle.

The opponent was taken aback by Lin Teng's change, but after a few rounds, seeing that Lin Teng still didn't plan to attack, he was relieved. But gradually, more than a dozen rounds passed, and Lin Teng still didn't have any intention of attacking, it seemed that he had made up his mind to fight, and the opponent began to be a little impatient in his heart.

More than two dozen rounds passed, and the situation still did not change, and the opponent's patience gradually ran out of patience. Finally, when the round came to thirty, the opponent was horrified to find that his physical strength was about to keep up. Look at Lin Teng's side again, after all, he is young, and he is still alive and well like no one.

"No, if you continue like this, you will be dragged to death by this kid!" Feeling that if he didn't take the initiative to change, his physical strength would be completely exhausted, and the opponent took the initiative to change the line for the first time and began to attack. But because offense is really not his strong point, the ball hit has no impact at all, and saying that it is offensive is more like feeding Lin Teng a good ball.

Lin Teng was waiting for this opportunity, seizing the opponent's weak attack, he took the initiative to grab a point and sneak attack the opponent's backhand. The ball went fast and tricky, in stark contrast to the opponent's attack. In addition, the opponent's physical strength is already at the end of the crossbow, and no matter how good his defensive skills are, he can't catch up.

"It worked!" Lin Teng was ecstatic in his heart, and his admiration for Pan Xiqi deepened. In the next game, with the tactics of fighting with the opponent, Lin Teng actually collapsed the opponent. In the end, the other party had no way to deal with it, and he made more and more senseless mistakes when attacking indiscriminately, and the situation was seriously tilted towards Lin Teng's side.

Finally, Lin Teng won two sets in a row with two 6:1 and won his 12th victory. Since the best record of other players is only 10 wins and 2 losses, in this way, Lin Teng locked the qualification in advance with one game left to play, and won the main place to participate in the National Tennis Grand Prix.
