Chapter 22: A Chance Encounter

After a bloodless defeat of the fourth seed in the tournament, Panci won the second singles match of the day.

"Panzi, you said that the organization of this event is too bad, such a bad level player can be the fourth seed, but he is still a seventh-level player. Why are the level 5 players I met so strong and perverted? Do you think this kind of competition is boring? After the game, Da Wei asked while helping Pan Xiqi clean up.

"You're just talking nonsense, which eye of yours can see that my opponent's level is rotten. Let me say that this is my best player so far, and it is far from comparable to those in my unit. Pansic laughed.

"What? It's just a game in your hand, and anyone with a discerning eye can see how he won that game. Isn't it bad at this level? I feel like I can win him if I play. Da Wei was a little unconvinced.

"Hey, don't really say it, if you are replaced, you may not be able to win a game from him."

"What do you mean? Just look down on buddies like that? Da Wei said angrily.

"You know I didn't mean that. Let me tell you this, the No. 4 seed has a very good feel, and he can maintain almost the same depth of return for dozens of consecutive shots, and even add strength on this basis, which is very rare among amateurs. ”

"And he has a very good sense of tactics, the line division is very reasonable, and in the left and right movements, it is easy to get the opportunity to score."

"You praised him so well, why was you beaten all over the ground when he was playing against you?" Da Wei asked.

"Let's put it this way, not only tennis, but also all small ball sports have the same problem, that is, if you are a little worse than your opponent in every technical link, then the cumulative comprehensive effect is not additive, a little worse than your opponent; It's multiplied, and it's several levels worse than the opponent. Even if you are a master relative to the average person, you will hardly be able to fight back against opponents who are a little better than you in all aspects. Pansiqi gave an explanation.

"It's like in professional tennis, you often see top players giving eggs to regular players, or even double eggs. This does not mean that the average player is at a terrible level, or even inferior to an amateur. It can only be said that there is a certain gap in their various technologies, and it will become obvious when combined. Ordinary players and masters train almost the same hard, and their skills are very advanced compared to amateur players. Those bad players in your eyes, if you put it in the amateur tennis world, it is almost an invincible myth.

"Do you mean that the No. 4 seed is not bad at his own level, but he is a little bit behind you in all aspects, which is why he lost so badly?"

"Well, so to speak." Pansy replied teasingly. He was embarrassed to explain to Da Wei that the No. 4 seed was not only a little behind him in all aspects, for fear of hitting Da Wei's fragile little heart.

"Damn, the fourth-seeded seventh-level player can't make a few moves under you, how strong your true strength must be! It seems that it is really a drama to let you avenge me! In Da Wei's laughter, the two hurriedly carried their tennis bags and hurried to the venue of the second round of doubles matches.

In the second round of doubles, they met a young pair, who seemed to be college students. The two seem to have participated in this kind of game for the first time, and they are very jerky on the field, and they are not even used to the scene of referees and lines.

However, there are no ordinary people who can participate in this kind of national level competition and make it to the second round. The disadvantage of the two is that they are young and inexperienced; But the advantage is also that he is young, has good physical fitness, and has enough strength.

The two of them are like swaying their youthful energy on the field, leaving their wild footprints in every corner of the court, which makes people sigh: "It's good to be young!" ”

Although Panci and Da Wei were both envious of the energy of the two young opponents opposite, the game was a game after all, and once it started, it still couldn't be ambiguous. As soon as they opened, they put on the classic "Pan's position". This makes the two young people a little strange, they have always played basically a double-baseline position, and only when it is very appropriate will they come to the net to harvest the score. At the beginning of the scene, there was a person who took the initiative to squat in front of the net, which is really the first time to see it.

After all, young people are newborn calves and are not afraid of tigers, no matter if you are thirty-seven or twenty-one, just vigorously pick it. The two old guns in the first round were beaten by them with a mess. Needless to say, the second round will continue.

Not to mention that this tactic is really effective, Pan Xiqi is not very suitable for it as soon as he comes up. After all, the players who have been playing against are biased towards the baseline control type, and they will control their hitting power. But these two students, completely ignoring, made full use of every shot, as if they wanted to blow the tennis ball out. It's better if it's just one person, but these two people really deserve to be partners, you finish picking our pick, and you are completely thinking in one place, and working hard in one place.

In this case, although the opponent made a few mistakes, he actually scored a few winning points. Pansiqi could not help but sigh at the power of unity. A perfectly coordinated pair can compete with a top-notch player on the baseline.

However, Pan Xiqi is no longer a young man, he has his own way of life. He knows that if you are too rigid, it is easy to break. The best way to deal with this kind of hairy boy who doesn't care about it is to overcome rigidity with softness. As long as they find a way to make them unable to exert their strength, victory will be captured.

Pan Xiqi, who had thought of countermeasures, no longer continued to have a front-line confrontation with the opponent, but turned into a chipper and played the word "entanglement" with the opponent. You just let you be strong, you are strong, you are strong. No matter how fast and heavy the ball was, it was cut by Pansiqi like this, and it went back lightly and softly.

Now the two young men are not happy, what they are pursuing is the ultimate coolness of each other's bottom line. But now, the other side didn't answer at all, it was like a punch into a ball of cotton, and there was no reaction at all.

Pansiqi's serve, there was still a big trap hidden, waiting for the lad to jump in. Don't look at the ball, it's light and weak, but the spin on it is much stronger than it looks. As long as you don't see the point of hitting, you will directly hit a cupola when the force is great. If the force is small and you can't pull enough height over the net, you must go to the net.

In this way, under Pan Xiqi's slashing one after another, the two young men became more and more impatient, and in the end, they completely turned into a brainless ** type of play, and the division line was about to lose the ball.

Soon, the battle ended 6:2, and the Panci pair advanced to the third round of doubles with their heads held high.

We seem to have forgotten who is in this doubles match, oh, and Da Wei squatting in front of the net. Da Wei's retreat was almost numb, and he couldn't catch a few balls in a game. It turned out that the two boys were too strong at the beginning, and they didn't dare to risk their attacks even in the area where he hit the ball. Later, after Panci changed his style of play, the two boys' returns began to be boundless, except for his serve, he didn't let him touch the ball at all at other times.

In the case of Da Wei, it should be regarded as a lie win. I don't know what he is feeling at the moment, whether he should be happy or depressed.

After the game, it was close to noon, the game was suspended, and all the players had lunch.

After receiving two boxes of set meals from the organizing committee, Pan Xiqi and Da Wei randomly found a place to start eating.

"Damn, it's also called a luxurious lunch, and it doesn't even have a chicken leg, just a small thorn root. I really don't know where they spent the registration fee? While complaining, Da Wei gobbled it up.

"Don't complain, you still have a thorn heel, and the box I got only has two shredded meat." Pansiqi scolded depressedly.

"Hahaha, so that my heart is balanced. Compared to your share, I am indeed luxurious. "Da Wei gloated.

"Damn, I don't have an appetite for what you said. I didn't eat it. Pansiqi put the lunch box aside.

"Isn't it, you have so many games today, what can you do without eating, can you keep up with your physical strength?" Da Wei asked.

"It's nothing, I don't play more than half an hour per game. Combined with the two singles and doubles matches this afternoon, it will only take three hours to complete the match. You know, those professional tennis players, sometimes a match can play for four or five hours, or even longer. ”

"Wow, that's not exhausting people to death." Da Wei exclaimed.

"That's not it, so people who can be professional athletes are not ordinary people."

"In this case, then I'll eat your share, don't waste food." Without waiting for Pan Xiqi to answer, Da Wei hurriedly snatched Pan Xiqi's boxed lunch.

After the two of them were full, no, it was Da Wei who was full, and the two of them wandered around the Qizhong Tennis Center, and when they were cooking, they ate after eating. Turning around, I suddenly found that a peripheral field in front of me was full of people, and bursts of cheers erupted.

The two of them were also the main ones who got together when they had a lively scene, and hurriedly stepped forward and squeezed in through the crowd. It turned out that there was a person training on the tennis court at the moment, and the person opposite seemed to be his coach, who was setting a cup on the court.

It stands to reason that an ordinary training session can't get so many people to watch, but the interesting thing is in the way this person is trained. The coach placed three cups on each of the left, center and right lines on the opposite court, and then sent him three balls in a row, each with an interval of one second.

"Bang, bang, bang", I saw the man's lightning-fast three dodge forehands, and the three tennis balls were hit in a row, like three sharp swords, they were smashed towards the opposite point cup. Immediately afterward, the sound of the point cup being hit came one after another. Looking at the field again, the cup has been knocked away from the distance.

"Wow", the onlookers instantly erupted in violent applause, and some even whistled. However, the man didn't seem to care about the reaction of the people on the sidelines, but motioned to the coach with a blank face and continued to set the glass.

The next few times, no matter where the coach placed the cup, the man returned the tennis ball to that position without missing a bullet, causing the audience to exclaim again and again. Pan Xiqi couldn't help but applaud, and when he looked back at Da Wei, he was stunned.

I saw Da Wei clenching his fists and looking at that person through gritted teeth, without any intention of cheering.

"Da Wei, are you alright?" Pan Xiqi reached out and stabbed Da Wei.

Da Wei came back to his senses at this time, turned his head and said to Pan Xiqi: "Pan Zi, you can show me, this is the kid who bullied Lao Tzu, and now he is showing off his skills so arrogantly, if he has the opportunity, he will definitely clean him up for me!" ”
