Chapter 148: The Trap

The bottom line that he is best at was pressed to death by Pan Xiqi, which made the Japanese veteran panic. Before the game, he didn't think about the current situation at all. After all, in his professional experience, there is no such thing as being so passive against a Chinese player.

But after all, he has many years of experience in the game, and the current backwardness has not made him mess up. It should be said that the feeling he has against Pansiqi at the moment is very much like playing against a high-ranked tour player, and his strength is at an absolute disadvantage.

If Pansiqi is really a world-ranked player at the moment, then Tima Hao should give up the idea of resisting. After all, he was no match for this kind of player at his peak, not to mention that he is now at the end of his career.

But Pan Xiqi is an unknown young player after all, and Tian Tianhao still thinks he has the advantage on a psychological level. It may be a little inappropriate to say that he is young, but at this time, Tian Tianhao didn't know Pan Xiqi's age, but he felt that he was really unfamiliar, so he subconsciously regarded him as a young player who looked old.

In Tian Tianhao's mind, this kind of fledgling player, although he has strong hard power, is often psychologically fragile, and it is very easy to fluctuate in the game. Now that Pansiqi's morale is high, it is not appropriate for him to resist head-on, but he should find a way to survive Pansiqi's excellent state. At that point, the experience advantage of his veteran can be brought into play.

However, the bottom line is that it will definitely not be beaten, so how to disturb Pansiqi. After thinking for a while, Tian Tianhao had an idea in his heart. Judging from his previous matches with Chinese players, Chinese players generally have good baseline basic skills and have a certain ability to fight against multiple shots. However, he has yet to hear of any Chinese player with good skills in front of the net, and if it is possible to lure Panci to the net and let him handle the ball in front of the net, it is very likely to disrupt his rhythm of the game.

I have to say that Tian Tianhao's move is quite spicy, and if he changes to other Chinese players, he may really succeed. Compared with Chinese female players who frequently participate in doubles competitions and generally have good skills in front of the net, the small ball skills of Chinese men's players in front of the net can be said to be miserable, and it is an absolute laggard.

This is because men's players rarely get the opportunity to compete in doubles competitions due to their rankings, and they rarely train in doubles. In addition, Chinese players serve generally average, and they are far from being able to create opportunities to actively surf the net through serving. Therefore, the male players rarely train their skills in front of the net, and even if they go to the net in the game, they are forced to be helpless and hard-headed.

I think so, but to really do it in the game, Tamada first has to find a suitable opportunity to suddenly release a small ball. And now, he has been preparing for this opportunity.

This game was Pansic's serve, and two consecutive strong serves all won aces, and Panci gained a 30-0 advantage as soon as he came up. Marveling at Pancic's powerful serve, Hiroshi Tata's determination to adopt a new tactic was even stronger. Because in his opinion, if he doesn't make changes as soon as possible, then there are not many opportunities left for him in this game.

Finally, on his third serve, Pancic's shot was too tricky and he was about to go out of bounds. came to the second shot, although the speed was still very fast, but Tian Tian Hao returned smoothly.

Although the quality of this return is average, fortunately, Pansiqi does not seem to be in a hurry to take the initiative to attack, and does not directly make a dead hand. Instead, he made a direct transition and brought the ball back. As a result, the two sides have formed the same bottom-line confrontation as before, and a multi-shot round is about to appear again.

Hiroshi Tima was waiting for such an opportunity, but in order to ensure the surprise of the tactics, he could not rush it. The stalemate between the two sides went back and forth for more than a dozen beats, and Tian Tianhao felt that his physical fitness was rapidly declining again.

Finally, when a Panci forehand slashed back, Tamada launched. In the face of the incoming ball, he leads the shot high with his forehand and keeps his eyes on the ball. Looking at the way he was full of energy, it felt like he wanted to have a forehand with Pancic.

"Hehe, if you think so, you're wrong!" Seeing that Pan Xiqi didn't seem to be aware of his intentions at all, Tian Tianhao secretly thought to himself with joy in his heart.

The tennis ball quickly flew to his best position, and he was seen to swing his forehand quickly, as if he was about to hit a powerful return. However, at the moment when the racket was about to touch the ball, he suddenly closed the racket and paused the swing of the racket. Then he switched to a cut and released a forehand ball.

From swinging the racket to the ball, Tim Tian Hao did it in one go, and the feints were called realistic. It can be said that it was not until he sliced the ball that the few spectators on the sidelines realized his true intentions.

Looking at the effect of the return ball, it is also quite ideal. I have to say that Tian Tianhao's feel is still quite good, in the face of Pansiqi's forehand return with both speed and strength, in such a short period of time, he can still control the landing point of the ball extremely well.

I saw the tennis ball slowly fly to the net in the direction of Tian Tianhao and landed in Pan Xiqi's court. At this time, Pancic's position was still on the other side of the baseline, and there was a considerable distance from where the ball landed.

All of this was deliberately designed by Tim Tian Hao in order to make it more difficult for Panci to save the ball. If you can, it's best to just make Pansiqi unable to save the ball in time.

However, Pansizi's performance disappointed him once again. The moment he slipped the ball, Panci seemed to have judged his thoughts, and after the forehand was released, he moved directly diagonally forward without the slightest pause at his feet.

Pansic's reaction was amazing, and in the eyes of the audience, it was as if Pansic knew in advance that the opponent was going to release the ball in front of the net, and rushed directly to the landing point of the ball. With such an accurate prediction, Tian Tianhao's small ball did not have a surprise effect at all, but was defended by Pansiqi early.

But seeing Panxiqi in place in advance, Tian Tianhao did not look very surprised. Because the real purpose of releasing this ball is not to hang the opponent at once, but to let Pansiqi deal with the ball in front of the net.

"Haha, now it's your turn to deal with the ball in front of the net that you Chinese players are not good at, so next, please give me a mistake!" Looking at Pan Xiqi's movements, Tian Tianhao couldn't help but want to shout out.

It was only at this point that his tactics were truly displayed in front of everyone. It turned out that on this small ball, he applied extremely strong underspin, coupled with the fact that the tennis ball was relatively close to the net, and the probability of error was very high for those players who are not good at the front of the net.

However, just as he was preparing to meet Pansiqi's mistake, the audience on the sidelines burst into exclamation, and he also looked at the other side in disbelief.
