Chapter 216: Hit until you doubt life
Since Panci didn't attack much in the first set, not only the crowd, but also Baghdatis didn't know much about his true attacking ability. However, according to Baghdatis's conjecture, since Pansic's defensive ability has far exceeded his expectations, then Pancic's offensive ability should be below average normally.
Baghdatis's idea is actually well-founded, because as a tennis player, it is basically impossible to be good both offensively and defensively, and there is always a skill that he is weak. If a player is strong in attack, he tends to be worse defensively. Because in many cases, relying on offense can solve a lot of problems for him, and defense is not so important in comparison.
The reverse is also true, if a player is extremely good at defending, then he is often less likely to have a strong offense. After all, defense is always more physically demanding than offense, and when offense is enough, it is not so cost-effective to spend too much energy on defense.
Of course, there are still players who can attack and defend well in the tennis world, and the most representative of them is Xiao De, one of the four kings. Unlike the attacking cows and the defensive-minded natto and Murray, Xiao De has almost dominated the tennis world in the past few years with his extremely balanced offensive and defensive capabilities. The airtight defense is complemented by a penetrating attack, which makes all players feel like they are being attacked in front of them when facing Xiaode.
Therefore, in the minds of Baghdatis, Pansiqi should belong to the category of players who are strong in defense and weak in attack. After all, just as a qualifier, Baghdatis would never have imagined Panci to be on the same level as Xiaode.
"Sneak attack, it's definitely just a sneak attack! When I'm ready, he's never going to score like that again. On the one hand, Baghdatis expressed his dissatisfaction with Pansiqi, and on the other hand, he kept comforting himself.
As if to slap Baghdatis in the face, Panci then sent a second point. The ball was still in the outside corner, and when Baghdatis had just returned the ball to the baseline with his two-handed backhand, Pansiqi hit the ball directly into the opposite straight line.
Pansiqi is still playing a strong upswing in this ball, so it feels like Baghdatis has just completed the exposé action and has not fully returned to the position, and the ball has already hit again.
However, with the lesson of the previous point, Baghdatis was obviously mentally prepared, desperately opened his legs back to the forehand position, and narrowly saved the ball before it flew off the bottom line.
However, because the shot was not fully in place, Baghdatis was a little enough to hit the ball, so the arc of the return ball was a bit high, and the ball speed was not very fast. was secretly glad that he had finally saved the ball, and Bagdatis suddenly found that a figure had appeared in front of the net at some point.
"Oops, volley in front of the net!" Baghdatis, who secretly said something bad in his heart, turned pale when he saw Pansiqi in front of the net, and began to rush towards the backhand position frantically.
After hitting that forehand, Panci went straight to the net without pause. With Baghdatis not returning the ball quickly, he had plenty of time to get to the net and pick the best position to volley. At this time, the tennis ball has not passed the net, and he is already standing in front of the net and waiting for the rabbit.
Baghdatis reacted as well, and when he saw Panci on the net, he chose a backhand as the direction of his run. The reason why he was so resolute was not that he had predicted the direction of Pancic's volley, but that at this moment, he had no choice but to gamble and defend.
In his previous experience, volleyers usually like to volley the ball to the side where the opponent has more distance, so he rushes straight to his backhand. As for whether Pansiqi is not cooperating next, it is not something he can control.
Watching Baghdatis run wildly on the bottom line, a sly glint flashed in Pansiqi's eyes. Aiming at the tennis ball that had just crossed the net, the racket gently shifted to the side, and the tennis ball flew back to the position where Baghdatis had just hit the ball with an extremely gentle attitude.
"Turn back!" Baghdatis, who had just run to the bottom corner of the backhand position, looked back and gave up with a look of despair.
In just five beats, Pansiqi settled the battle. And in this score of only five beats, Baghdatis fully understood the strength of Pancic's attack. At that point just now, Baghdatis had already concentrated all his attention and made the best possible run, but under Pansiqi's step-by-step pressure, all the resistance he made still seemed so pale and weak.
"Could it be that this is his real offensive strength?" After two consecutive points were scored by Panci's crisp attack, Baghdatis was horrified to find that he might have to face an unimaginable truth.
This time, Pansiqi didn't punch Baghdatis in the face again. Because in the next game, he suppressed a whole set of offensive ** and was completely released. At this moment, Baghdatis feels like a small boat sailing in the sea, facing a wave of huge waves that are in danger of capsizing at any time.
If Pancic's previous defense was a test of Baghdatis' willpower, now his offense is a test of the toughness of his opponent's willpower. With Pancic's fast-paced back-to-back attacks, Baghdatis didn't have any respite on the pitch at all. Even in the end, he didn't even have time to think about the choice of line and power. Under the pressure of his opponents, he seems to be able to rely on the instinct to hit the ball.
Gradually, Baghdatis pulled out of the game a little bit of his spirit. Because he had to, if he had remained awake at this time, he would have found that his willpower and physical strength had reached the limit.
"What am I doing? Why am I here? Baghdatis asked the question as he looked at his body, which was still running freely on the field.
It can be said that at this moment, Baghdatis was actually beaten by Pansiqi to doubt his life.
6:0, less than twenty minutes, Pansiqi directly closed the second set victory. Back in the rest area, Baghdatis didn't even have much of a frustrated look on his face. For him, the victory in this game has nothing to do with him.
By the third set, it wasn't just Pansiqi who wanted to sound the gong as soon as possible. At the moment, his opponent obviously wants to end the game as soon as possible more than him. It doesn't take any more complicated offensive combinations from Pancic, often after two shots, Baghdatis will take the initiative to give away this point with an outrageous mistake.
At 6:0, another egg was delivered. After losing three games in a row in the opening game, Pansic actually won the game by winning eighteen games in a row.
"It's a God-cursed game!" As he left the venue, an American audience member said with a hellish look on his face. Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
