Chapter 33: God's High Ball
"What to do? The force has been severely suppressed, and even if I have all the different tactics in my hands, I can't use them at all. Tried a variety of ways to return the ball to no good effect, and Pancich felt very depressed.
Under the suppression of Jia Feifei's absolute power, although he can almost ensure the footwork rate, but the quality of the return ball is quite poor, and now Pan Xiqi finally understands how aggrieved Jia Feifei's opponents played in the previous rounds, and realizes the importance of strength in tennis.
Due to the innate physical limitations of Asian players, European and American players are often suppressed in terms of strength. The women's players are fine, but the gap between the men's players is huge. Therefore, in the history of tennis for so many years, only Zhang Depei of the United States and Sister Na of China have won the highest honor of the Grand Slam as yellow people, and the vast majority of championships at other times have been monopolized by European and American players.
And Chinese men's tennis is even more limited by strength, and even Asia can't rush out. Take Jia Feifei as an example, his strength is already a terrifying existence for amateur players, but against European and American players, it is like a child meeting a big man, and he has no power to resist at all.
And now, Pan Xiqi, who is at a disadvantage in strength, has fallen into great passivity. He tried to put a small ball in front of the net, trying to disrupt Jia's extraordinary offensive rhythm, but because he could not completely unload the momentum of the tennis ball with his strength, the residual power of the tennis ball seriously affected Pansiqi's return effect, and the tennis ball that should have crossed the net and fell sharply only landed when it was close to flying to the midcourt. This time was already enough for Jia Feifei to rush to the ground, and with a forehand pick, he scored easily.
Soon, the score was overtaken by Jia Feifei to 4:3. Lost four games in a row, which is something Pansiqi has never seen since his body mutated. During this time, Pansiqi still tried to regain one-third of his power to hit the ball, but the pain was like a private detective hiding in the shadows to spy on him, and as soon as he tried to exert force, he immediately stopped him with severe pain.
As the situation completely tilted to Jia Feifei's side, the audience on the sidelines was like chameleons, and began to cheer for Jia Feifei's every score. This kind of natural transition may not be possible even by the top actors.
"Good Jia Feifei!" There was an audience cheering.
"It's a former professional player, and if you say it's a reversal, it's a reversal. This Pansiqi, I applauded him before, and it seems that the amateur player really can't get on the stage. A spectator who had previously cheered Panci crazy decided to support Jia Feifei instead.
At this time, Jia Feifei, the ball is getting smoother and smoother, and the opponent's soft return ball makes him completely return to the state when he was abusing amateurs in the previous rounds. Watching Pansiqi run around the field and defend hard, he felt a strong sense of satisfaction.
"A professional player represents more than ten years of hard training, even if I retire, I must defend the dignity of a professional player, and I will never let a person who just takes tennis as a hobby challenge the authority of a professional player!"
"Lao Xiao, I said that there is no need for us to watch this game anymore. Why don't we go for a drink first, and then come back to enjoy Lin Teng's semi-finals. Lin Fei, who was in a good mood, sent an invitation to Director Xiao.
"Let's watch Pansic's serve, it's not too late. If he still can't keep this game, then there is really no need to watch it again. Director Xiao decided to watch another game.
"You, you've been so patient since you were a student, no wonder I don't have the ability to be a leader now. Okay, okay, I'll watch another game with you. ”
In the eighth game, it came to Pansizi's serve. He was broken by Jia Feifei in the previous two service games, and if this game can't be saved, then Jia Feifei will come to the service game with a score of 5:3. In that case, Panci's Shanghai race is probably over.
"This game has to be held no matter what." Standing in front of the service line, Pansic's mind was desperately recalling the tennis matches he had watched over the years, trying to find a case of an absolute disadvantage against his opponent so that he could learn from the tactics adopted by the winner. However, after thinking about it, there is still no ideal reference object.
"No matter, let's serve first, otherwise I will be warned by the referee again." After thinking for a long time without results, Pansic decided to take one step at a time, and served the ball with one shot.
Look over there, Jia Feifei, who has long been accustomed to Panxiqi's serve, actually went directly to the position of two meters inside the baseline when Panxiqi served, and was about to reach the back line of the service area. This kind of receiving position simply does not take the opponent's serve in mind, and it is clear that it is necessary to receive the serve and attack strongly.
Jia Feifei did the same, the tennis ball rebounded on the ground, and before it reached the highest point, he had already dodged and hit in advance and attacked directly. The return time was greatly shortened by the fact that it was an upswing shot, so the tennis ball took less time to return to Pancizi's feet than he had received before.
Pansiqi over there, although the strength is not enough, the prediction is still there. When Jia moved into the court, he expected that he might be facing a quick return serve. Therefore, although Jia Feifei grabbed the point to attack, he did not receive the effect of disrupting Pan Xiqi's rhythm. When the tennis ball came to Pansiqi's side in an instant, he had already adjusted his body posture and was ready to return the ball.
However, Pancic's trouble is not that, it is the power of tennis that really threatens him. In the previous games, he didn't come up with a solution to the power, which led to the situation falling behind.
"Let's try pulling the topspin again, after all, it's the best way I can think of to unload the force right now." Pansiqi made a decision in an instant. He then pulled his forehand behind him, his eyes fixed on the incoming ball, ready to make another attempt.
The tennis ball landed, but this time it landed not near the bottom line, but smashed straight on the bottom line. Because the material of the sideline of the tennis court is different from the material of the court, when the tennis ball hits the sideline, irregular bounce will occur, so that the player's prediction of the tennis ball's flight trajectory will be incorrect. For tennis players, this situation is equivalent to an accident that is not an accident.
Bouncing off the baseline, the tennis ball had a small secondary acceleration and bounced a little higher than Pansiqi expected.
"Oops!" The tennis ball bounced, and Pansich knew that his swing was a little low. Sure enough, the tennis ball did not hit the field of the racket as before, but directly hit the upper frame of the racket, and a cupola was born.
"Wow" the audience exclaimed, and then everyone's eyes rose and rose as the tennis ball rose. The tennis ball flew straight into the sky like a rocket, and looking at the posture, it seemed to be about to break free from gravity and fly directly out of the solar system.
After flying twenty meters high, the tennis ball finally failed to break free from the shackles of the earth and turned around and fell down.
"Did you think this ball was out of bounds?" One asked an acquaintance on the side.
"Isn't this nonsense? If a tennis player doesn't aim at the ball and hits it directly on the frame, the ball is basically out of bounds. Look at this ball, it flies and can't wait to be ten stories high, you can't tell it. The acquaintance replied firmly.
Just like the audience thought that this ball must be out of bounds after it landed, Jia Feifei also thought so in his heart. However, as a professional player, he still has a good professional quality, and he will not relax until the moment the ball hits the ground. Raising his head high, his eyes staring at the tennis ball flying in the air without blinking, he was tracking the trajectory of the tennis ball at all times.
"Looking at the direction of flight, it seems to be in the backfield." Jia Feifei's feet also moved to the backcourt.
"It seems that near the bottom line, although there is a 90% chance of going out of bounds, let's be in place and ready first." Then he retreated to the back of the line.
"Gee, this ball is probably very close to the baseline, and I have to go back again, considering that the ball will fly out again after it bounces." Jia Feifei has come to a meter behind the bottom line.
"It's not good, it looks like it's going to be smashed on the bottom line!"
Due to the high altitude of the tennis ball, the speed at which it reaches the ground after falling is also very impressive. Under the attention of the audience, the tennis ball actually smashed straight on the bottom line of Jia Feifei's side.
"Wow, this is not out of bounds, Pansic is really out of shit." The audience who was out of bounds before was dumbfounded.
At this time, the irregular rebound of the bottom line is Jia Feifei's turn to bear. The falling speed was fast, coupled with the help of the bottom line, the tennis ball rebounded and flew quickly to the outside of the court, and the rebound height was also very amazing, there were two people to be high.
Although Jia Feifei had already prepared to retreat to the rear of the bottom line, this divine turn was still beyond his expectations. With the position he was standing in, it was impossible to get the tennis ball back comfortably, because the tennis ball had flown over his head and bounced behind him in the blink of an eye.
", what's going on?" Although he has a lot of experience in the game, he has never experienced this kind of situation where the tennis ball falls directly on the line without going out of bounds after smashing the frame. In desperation, he had no choice but to turn around and run wildly, trying to save the tennis ball before it flew into the audience.
Jia Feifei drove full power, and under the rapid smashing of his legs, he was able to save the ball before the tennis ball flew out of the backcourt baffle. But he can't guarantee the quality of this return. Not only can't he make a force, but he can't guarantee the depth, but he just returns a high ball in the front court.
Pan Xiqi, who was a little stunned for playing the cupola cannon before, was instantly overjoyed when he saw that the opponent returned the ball shallowly. This is a rare opportunity, three steps to the frontcourt, aimed at the incoming ball with a reverse high pressure, and directly hit the other reverse where Jia Feifei is.
"15:0, Pansich leads."
"Pansizi's ball is amazing, and I can't describe it with good luck." The crowd was speechless.
"Hmph, this ball is lucky for you, and it will give you a point first." Jia Feifei, who accidentally lost this point, looked at Pan Xiqi with disdain.
After scoring with high pressure, Pan Xiqi did not return to the baseline for the first time, but kept looking at Jia Feifei's backcourt. After a while, he seemed to see the name of the name, and turned his head and walked back. Attentive people will find that Pan Xiqi, who has suppressed several rounds, actually raised an arc on his lips at this time.
"God help me, such an unexpected ball actually made me think of a way to crack it, hahahaha!" At this moment, Pansiqi laughed wildly in his heart.
In the second point, Jia Feifei seemed to want to take revenge on Pan Xiqi's performance in the previous point, and launched a direct attack on Pan Xiqi's body. The chasing ball smashed into Pansiqi's chest like lightning, and it seemed that Pansiqi couldn't dodge. However, he did not move away as everyone expected, but directly blocked the racket in front of his chest, but the racket side was not facing the opposite side, but at a strange upward angle.
The next moment, the tennis ball slammed into the racket, and from the audience's point of view, Pansic just blocked the tennis ball casually to avoid being smashed on his body. Next, the tennis ball did not fly directly out of bounds, but flew up into the sky like the previous ball.
Watching the tennis ball fly higher and higher, everyone's heads are getting higher and higher. It feels like the flight trajectory of the ball seems to be very familiar, and some viewers can't help but have a bold guess in their hearts: "Mom, that high ball just now, won't it come again?" ”
