Chapter Ninety-Four: Zhang Ze's Crisis

"The National Tennis Grand Prix held in Guangzhou today decided the top four in each event. In the women's singles event, the national team Jinhua won the semi-finals. Among them, the Tianjin team became the biggest winner, Peng Fatpang, Zhang Shuai, and Wang Chang all advanced to the semifinals。。。。。。 ”

In the men's singles event, last year's champions and runners-up Wu Di and Zhang Ze swept their opponents in two sets to advance, and the semifinals will be against Beijing's dark horse Lin Teng and Pan Xiqi respectively. It can be said that the final of this tournament is likely to repeat last year's two-way rivalry. ”

The tennis Grand Prix has reached the semi-finals, and the sports news of the central five sets has finally broadcast the news of this competition for the first time. Coverage of the Women's Singles and Women's Doubles took up the vast majority of the story, with the Men's Singles being briefed on at the end and the Men's Doubles not mentioned at all. It can be seen that in China, the influence of women's tennis far exceeds that of men's tennis.

In the men's singles match that ended during the day, after Lin Teng and Pan Xiqi, the two big dark horses, advanced to the semifinals in a row, the top two seeds Wu Di and Zhang Ze, who played in the afternoon, did not let the upset continue to happen and won the game very easily. It can be said that the strength of these two people has steadily left others by a grade in China at this stage.

For the promotion of the top two seeds, the outside world naturally takes it for granted, and does not feel anything unusual. Therefore, the focus of this Grand Prix is all on the two dark horses of the Beijing team. Pansiqi also reached the first round and became the focus of everyone's talk again.

However, at this moment, in the residence of the Jiangsu team, Zhang Ze, who is now ranked second in China and the runner-up of the last tennis Grand Prix, is not as relaxed as everyone imagined. The smooth promotion during the day didn't seem to be taken to heart by him, and he looked worried with his frowning eyebrows.

By his side, in addition to the coach of the Jiangsu team, there is also a familiar person.

"Brother Ze, tomorrow in the semifinals against Pan Xiqi, you have to avenge me!" The man spoke.

"Xiao Lin, you fought against Pansiqi in the second round, so it's up to you to talk about his characteristics." The undoubted words of the head coach of the Jiangsu team sounded.

It turned out that this person was the No. 2 player of the Jiangsu team, Xiao Lin, an "offensive" player who was ravaged by Pan Xiqi in the second round. Since he was the only one in the Jiangsu team who had played against Pan Xiqi, the coach specially asked him to participate in Zhang Ze's pre-match preparation meeting for tomorrow's semi-finals.

"Say Sholin, I need to know everything you know about Pansiqi." Zhang Ze also spoke.

It seemed to think of Pansiqi's explosive serve and domineering attack in the game, and Xiao Lin had a look of fear on his face. It wasn't until Zhang Ze showed a hint of impatience that he hurriedly collected his mind and began to introduce Pan Xiqi.

"Pansizi, good serve, very good! I don't think there's a better serve player in the country than him. That serve of his。。。。。。 ”

"Okay, okay, Pansiqi's serve doesn't need to be introduced. Just by looking at the number of aces he has more than doubled in the service rankings than the second place, we know how good he is. Tell me about other aspects of him. The head coach interrupted Chorin directly.

"Attack, Pansic's attack is very good! The forehand is violent and the landing point is accurate, while the SLR is chic and freehand, and there are many changes. I don't think there's a stronger attack in the country than him. Xiao Lin thought for a moment and continued.

"Oh, so he's a pure offensive player, huh? Isn't that a little worse moving? The coach asked.

"No, no, no, he moves well, very good! I've hardly ever seen a player move as fast as he does. My offense didn't seem to him to be a threat at all, because he was so fast at his feet. Xiao Lin hurriedly shook his head.

"Good serve, good attack, good movement, doesn't Panci have any weaknesses?" The coach's tone became a little heavy.

"Well。。。。。。 I really can't think of it. Coach, it's not like you don't know what it was like I played against him, and I don't want to remember that game again. Xiao Lin replied very depressedly.

"Then let me ask you, between me and Pansich, who do you think is stronger?" Zhang Ze, who had been silent, suddenly asked.

"This... This.... I didn't expect Zhang Ze to ask this question, Xiao Lin couldn't react for a while.

Seeing that Xiao Lin seemed a little embarrassed, Zhang Ze relaxed his tone and comforted: "Don't worry, you can tell the truth, we are all teammates, what else is there to be embarrassed about." ”

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point. I have fought with Brother Ze, and I have also fought with Wu Di, although I can't win, but I can resist for a while. But against Pan Xiqi, I really don't have the slightest chance of winning, and I will be Amitabha Buddha if I can win the next game. After saying this, Xiao Lin secretly glanced at Zhang Ze, and saw that the other party was not angry, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Pansiqi, is it really that strong? When I saw his report at the time, I thought it was just a guy who walked through the back door, and everyone was just a laughing stock. Unexpectedly, he actually passed all the way to the semifinals, and even easily defeated Zhang Zhizhen. I have to say, he is a big obstacle to your championship. The coach also felt that the situation was serious after listening to Xiao Lin's words, and said to Zhang Ze in a low voice.

"Hmph, I lost to Wu Di in the last few domestic competitions, and won several runners-up, and I want to win the championship in this competition no matter what!" As the first person to enter the main draw of a Grand Slam through the qualifying round, the championship seems to be Zhang Ze's only choice.

"Coach, in my opinion, this Pan Xiqi's strength is no longer weaker than Wu's enemy. If you don't come up with a little pressure on the bottom of the box, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to pass the semi-finals. Zhang Ze pondered for a while and then spoke.

"What, what do you mean?" The coach was distracted and turned back suddenly.

"Yes, it's time to show off my new tactics. We've been in retreat for so long in winter training, so let's see how effective it is. ”

"However, that is what you specially prepared to defeat Wu Di in the final, if you show it now, wouldn't you lose the opportunity?" The coach shook his head, seemingly disagreeing with Zhang Ze's choice.

"Coach, if you can't get past Pansic in the semi-finals, then what's the final. Forced by the situation, we have to send it when we are ready to fly. "Zhang Ze seems to have made a decision.

"Well, it's all up to you. It's just that your foot hurts, I'm afraid it will have an impact? Seeing that Zhang Ze had made up his mind, the coach no longer dissuaded him.

"Don't worry, I know it." Zhang Ze replied as he touched his left thigh.

Wonderful!
