Chapter 107: Angry Wu Enemy
The Beijing team has the first doubles national championship in history, which Coach Zheng would never have imagined before. After all, compared to the men's singles, there can be an occasional shining point, and the men's doubles of the Beijing team can be described as an out-and-out weakness.
Now, looking at Pan Xiqi and Lin Teng standing on the top podium, Coach Zheng realizes that all this has become a fact. However, despite the excitement, Coach Zheng still restrained himself, because the most glorious moment of the Beijing tennis team will not come until the afternoon. Compared to the men's singles that everyone values, let's take this men's doubles championship as an appetizer.
It can be said that through Pansiqi's near-perfect performance in the previous rounds, Coach Zheng is very optimistic that if nothing else, the men's singles championship of this Grand Prix will also be won by the Beijing team. Although Pan Xiqi faced the number one player in China, the defending champion - Wu Di in the final, Coach Zheng felt that Pan Xiqi's current level was far beyond the scope of ordinary Chinese men's tennis players, and even Wu Di could not be compared.
People are like that, when you are weak, the slightest improvement will make you ecstatic. But when you suddenly become stronger, the goals that you used to think were out of reach seem to be nothing, and you will naturally pursue bigger goals. Coach Zheng is like this at the moment, but it's not that he doesn't know satisfaction, but Pan Xiqi has this kind of magic, which makes people unconsciously full of confidence and expectation for him.
However, at this moment, Wu Di, as the first person in China, is not in a good mood.
After watching the semi-finals between Pan Xiqi and Zhang Ze, although Wu Di also admitted that Pan Xiqi is indeed terrifyingly strong, and he is a rare powerful faction in China in recent years. However, Wu did not think that he would really lose to Pan Xiqi in the final.
In addition to his incomparable self-confidence as the strongest player in China, Wu Di also analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of Pan Xiqi and himself from all aspects, and came to the conclusion that he is not weaker than Pan Xiqi, and even has an advantage in some aspects.
Let's take movement as an example, although Pan Xiqi moved very quickly in the game, Wu Di felt that with his own movement speed, he was not a little slower than Pan Xiqi. Pan Xiqi is very reasonable in the control of the combination ball, but Wu Di is known as the best male player in the domestic baseline skills, how can he be weaker than others in this regard.
Wu believes that his biggest advantage in this game is that he is several years younger than Pansiqi. At the age of 26, he is at the peak of his life, both physically and physically. However, Pansiqi is already in his thirties, and although the player's athletic life is getting longer and longer, Panci is clearly past his prime.
When a game is in a stalemate, the fitness of both sides often plays the final decisive role. Therefore, Wu Di decided that as long as the game was dragged all the time and the baseline was fought in multiple rounds, Pan Xiqi would inevitably be dragged down by himself in the long run.
To sum up, Wu Di made what he thought was a reasonable judgment, that is, in the upcoming finals, the probability of winning the game could reach at least sixty percent.
It stands to reason that the results of this analysis should be able to make Wu Di feel at ease, but now he is a little annoyed and angry.
It turned out that with Pan Xiqi's successive victories over the third domestic person Zhang Zhizhen and his biggest opponent Zhang Ze, Pan Xiqi's reputation in this Grand Prix has almost reached the point of being unmatched. Even relative to him, the top seed, there is a faint tendency to overpower one head.
Because Panci almost won every game, and the serve and pace were so gorgeous that it was hardly like what a domestic player could do, he was able to harvest a lot of live spectators to become fans after every match. And with the hard work of these new fans, Pan Xiqi is no longer the amateur player who went through the back door in everyone's hearts, but has become the player who has played the best in this competition and is also the most likely to win the championship. Some people even assert that this final will be a big battle between the new king of Panxiqi ascending the throne and the old king of Wu abdicating.
You must know that the number one favorite to win the championship has always been firmly occupied by Wu Di. However, this time, Pansic snatched it directly. This makes Wu Di, who has always looked at the world and regarded the domestic arena as his own backyard, how can he accept it.
However, what made Wu Di even more devastated was that before the finals, even his own coach expressed his worries about the finals to himself. After watching the video of Pansic's game, the coach actually thought that Pansic's winning side was greater than his own. Not only that, but he also gave advice to let Wu Di correct his mentality and attack Pan Xiqi with the attitude of a weakling.
The coach's words, Wu Di thought it was really ridiculous. Since his first national victory many years ago, who qualifies him to be an underdog. Although it felt nonsensical, the coach's words also deeply pierced Wu Di's arrogant self-esteem. Doesn't this mean that even his own coach thinks Pancich is better than him?
Pansiqi, the initiator of all this is Pansiqi! Wu Di decided that in the final, he must teach this arrogant latecomer a good lesson, so that the people of the whole country know who is the real king of the domestic tennis court!
Just when Wu Di was aroused by the anger and fighting spirit that had not been seen for many years because of the remarks of the outside world, his opponent Pan Xiqi was thinking about other things.
In the tunnel there are still ten minutes to go. Wu Di did not plan to wait quietly at the moment, but kept squatting and jumping, making the final warm-up for the game. While doing these movements, he also swept Pan Xiqi who was in a daze from time to time with a very sharp gaze.
In the face of Wu's extremely aggressive prying eyes, Pan Xiqi did not react. At this time, he was immersed in his own little emotions.
"It's time to make an appointment with Wang Yan in the evening, when you see her then, do you want to confess to her directly?" Pansiqi frowned.
"But what if she refuses? Isn't it shameless to be the new national champion? Pansiqi hesitated.
"Probably not, she must be interesting to me too. Otherwise, why did you deliberately ask Xiao Wu to send me medicine, doesn't it care what I am? Thinking of this, Pan Xiqi smiled slightly, and his brows furrowed again.
Pan Xiqi's sad and smiling ghost look really made Wu Di on the side scratch his head, and he didn't know what he was thinking. However, Wu Di could clearly feel that he, the national champion, was completely ignored by Pan Xiqi at this time.
"Damn, this arrogant guy doesn't know how to respect his predecessors at all. Well, when the time comes, you will be beaten on your knees and beg for mercy! ”
"Please come in after me." Just when Wu Di was resentful in his heart, the voice of the staff sounded.
