Chapter Eighty-Three: The Battle of Breaking the Curse (Part II)
Against the players of the Beijing team, Li Tianming did not encounter the situation of losing the first set first. Even the most miraculous time, the opponent had already won the game on serve, but he sprained his ankle in a running save and retired directly. It was also after this resurrection that Li Tianming was convinced of his title of "Beijing Team Nemesis".
However, in the previous game, although the score was behind, the scene was still very anxious, otherwise the opponent was unlikely to be injured. But this time it is obviously different, the score of 6-0 fully shows the huge gap between the two, and the possibility of Li Tianming wanting to win the game by strength is almost non-existent.
At this moment, what supports him to continue on the field is the magic law that has not been broken for ten years. During the break, Li Tian, who was sitting on the chair, was obviously a little anxious. Glancing at Pan Xiqi, who was calmly drinking water next to him, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"Damn, this surnamed Pan is actually a hard stone, and I can't find his flaws at all. Now it seems that one can only hope for the unexpected. I just don't know if he's going to hurt his arm or twist his foot this time. In short, he won't finish the race! Thinking in his heart, he glanced at Pan Xiqi again, with a bit of banter and sympathy in his eyes.
Coach Zheng was in the same complicated mood at this time, at the beginning of the game, he was in a high state of tension, always ready to interrupt the game immediately in case of an accident, and take away Pan Xiqi. He didn't want his future hopes to be ruined in Li Tianming's hands.
Although Panci won the first set extremely strongly, it did not make Coach Zheng feel relaxed in the slightest. Because the painful lessons of the past have taught him that against Li Tianming, the closer he is to victory, the more likely he is to have an accident. In this regard, he has the same idea as Lin Tianming.
"Pansiqi, you must hold on! Jesus Christ, all the gods and Buddhas, this time let our Beijing team pass this hurdle. Coach Zheng prayed silently in his heart.
At this time, Pan Xiqi did not have the slightest psychological burden, after all, Li Tianming's curse had happened before, and he had never experienced it personally, so he didn't feel it at all. He felt even more ridiculous about the so-called nemesis, but it was just a coincidence, and for some reason it really convinced these people.
Besides, to be bizarre, there is nothing more unbelievable in the world than what I have experienced over the past few months. Just take out an alien dog, and it's enough to kill some bullshit nemesis law in seconds.
The break ended, and the two sides began to compete for the second set. Since all hopes were pinned on the arrangement of fate, Li Tianming did not use the rest time to make targeted changes to the game. Naturally, he continued to play in the first set and was still comprehensively suppressed by Pansiqi on the court.
1:0, 2:0, 3:0, Pansiqi didn't take much effort to pull the score away. As he got closer and closer to losing the game, Li Tianming finally showed some signs of collapse. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and at this moment, his heart was also overturned.
"What's going on? Why haven't accidents happened yet? Oh my God, this is the last time of my career, so let's get the magic law out there! Without thinking about how to deal with the opponent, Li Tianming actually began to pray to God and worship Buddha.
However, time passed little by little, the scene was very stable, Pan Xiqi's one-sided suppression even made the audience on the sidelines a little lacking in interest, after all, everyone can see that as long as there are no accidents, it is inevitable that Li Tianming will reap a painful defeat.
With Panci scoring another inside corner ace, the score soon came to 5:0. At this time, Li Tianming's heart was close to despair. As a professional athlete, he knows that in this situation, if there are no variables on the field, the probability of him trying to turn defeat into victory is almost zero.
Feeling that defeat was close at hand, Li Tianming, who couldn't believe that the ten-year law was about to be broken, completely collapsed. At this time, his expression was a little hideous, and his eyes glared at Pansic, as if he was about to eat the other party. If he hadn't retained the last bit of sanity, he would have thrown away the racket directly, rushed to the opposite court and grabbed Pansiqi's neck and asked him: "Damn it, why didn't you get injured and quit the game?!" ”
It was Li Tianming's turn to serve, and at this moment, he seemed to have given up hope for fate, and actually wanted to start the last fight. The scene suddenly became intense, and Li Tianming, who was still fighting, burst out of his strongest energy and began to run on the field.
The opponent's sudden rise surprised Pansiqi, who thought that there would be no more waves on the field, but who knew that there would be such a move. The opponent's wild running at any cost of physical strength and his already excellent movement ability made him less comfortable with the control of the scene than before.
You must know that Pan Xiqi basically controlled the opponent by hitting the precise landing point throughout the game, but now, many balls that could not be saved were stubbornly defended by Li Tianming.
Just like the ball now, Panci had already successfully lured Li Tianming to the net with a short shot in the front court, and then scored a perfect overhead high ball. According to the previous situation, Li Tianming will definitely not chase this ball back. But now it was different, he didn't hesitate to turn around and run wildly, and his short figure was like a whirlwind, whistling and chasing towards the bottom line.
No one thought that in such an impossible situation, Li Tianming actually chased the ball. After running to the back of the ball at an unimaginable speed, Li Tianming turned around without thinking about it and hit a forehand crit.
It's strange to say that Li Tianming's hitting in such a hurry actually hit his highest-quality attack in the whole game. The tennis ball flew at great speed towards the bottom corner away from Pansiqi's side, and it looked like it could have landed in bounds.
"Oops!" Thinking that the ball was unlikely to go out of bounds, Pansiqi secretly screamed in his heart, and raised his leg to chase after the sideline. He was really careless about this ball, thinking that the opponent couldn't catch the ball, he didn't prepare for the next shot at all. In a hurry, it was too late.
At this moment, Pansiqi's perverted movement ability exploded instantly. From the viewer's point of view, it looks like he has left an afterimage on the route he has run, and he can't even see his steps clearly. This kind of movement speed is even faster than Li Tianming, who is in a state of rage.
"Wow, he's flying!" Li Tianming saw his opponent move so extremely, and the last bit of fire that had just ignited in his heart was also extinguished.
However, in an instant, Pan Xiqi crossed the entire bottom line, and ran to the other side of the field before the ball landed, and the defense was in place. Just when the audience thought that Pan Xiqi would play the most exciting defensive ball of the game, Li Tianming was looking forward to the accident of the whole game finally appeared!
With a rapid run, Pansiqi, who wants to make a hitting action, needs to slow down instantaneously to maintain the stability of his shot. However, the moment he hit the brakes with his right foot, a sharp pain came.
It turned out that the moment his right foot hit the ground, he suddenly felt a bulge on the sole of his foot. The foreign object didn't feel like much, but in this case it was quite deadly. Due to the obstruction of this foreign body, the surface of his foot could not fully step on the ground, causing him to break his foot!
With a muffled snort, Pansiqi's right ankle was squeezed into a large angle, and then he lost his balance, and the racket in his hand was still in his hand, and the whole person fell to the ground.
Feeling a strong pain in his right ankle, Pansic realized that he had probably fallen this time. As for whether it hurt bones and ligaments, it will be difficult to judge for a while. But at least for now, the right foot can't work anymore. Not in a hurry to get up, he sat down on the ground and began to check his ankles. Before that, Pan Xiqi looked back at the place where he had broken his foot just now, but found that the smoothness was abnormal, and there was no bulge.
"What the!" Pansiqi cursed in his heart.
"Ahh The moment Panci fell, the audience screamed at the same time, and some even stood up in fright.
Looking at Coach Zheng again, he was already standing in place, his face pale.
"I knew, I knew, everything was fate!"
"Senior sister, Pan Xiqi's fall is really not light, will it affect his next game?" Xiao Wu asked.
"I don't know, I hope he's okay." Wang Yan replied, her face showing worry for some reason. But due to the disguise of the mask, Xiao Wu did not notice her abnormality.
However, the most shocked person on the field at this time was Li Tianming, who was still stunned in place. I saw him stupidly looking at Pansiqi sitting on the ground, as if he couldn't understand what was happening for a while.
It wasn't until he saw the referee quickly walk up to Panci to investigate his injuries that he was sure that what had just happened was not a dream. I saw that the flames that had been extinguished in his eyes seemed to be rekindled, and they filled his eyes in an instant.
"Oh my God's eyes! Wounded, he's finally hurt! Hahahaha! If it weren't for his image, Li Tianming would have looked up to the sky and howled on the spot.
As if realizing that he should also care about his opponent at this time, Li Tianming also came to Pan Xiqi's side, pretending to be very worried about his injury. However, if you look closely, you can find that he is about to lose his smile. At this time, Li Tianming's expression that he wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, not to mention how indescribable it was.
With the referee's support, Pansiqi stood up. Trying to land on his right foot, the weight of his body was only pressed a little, and Pansic gasped, feeling the pain in his heart. Holding back the pain and pressing his right foot to the ground, Pansic tried again. Although it still hurt a lot this time, I was able to bear it, and my leg was able to support it. Pansiqi judged that his bones should be fine, but the soft tissue strain was a little severe.
After a while, Pansiqi's ankle swelled at a visible rate, red as a large radish. The referee asked with concern how Pancici was doing, whether he could continue the game, and if he needed medical care.
"Retire! Retire! If you are injured, you should treat it well, don't hold on any longer! No one can break that curse! Although Li Tianming on the side showed great concern, he was already eager to make a decision for Pan Xiqi.
Glancing at Li Tianming meaningfully, Pan Xiqi said to the referee with a firm gaze: "There is no need for a medical timeout, I can continue the game!" ”
