Chapter 101: Forcing a Trick

After failing to score a point in two consecutive games, Zhang Ze finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

"How long has it been since you've been beaten up so badly? Last time I played against the top 30 players in the world, right? Unconsciously, Zhang Ze seemed to feel as if he was not participating in a domestic competition, but was being crushed by international masters.

"Do you have to use that trick so soon? Forget it, it's only two rounds, just wait, make other efforts first, after all, that move is also my weapon at the bottom of the box. After a struggle in his heart, Zhang Ze still decided to endure it a little longer.

In the third game, it was Pansizi's turn to serve. Although he tried various return positions in the last game, he still failed to score points on Pansiqi's serve even once, which made Zhang Ze feel very frustrated.

However, Zhang Ze is one of the top players in China and one of the most experienced Chinese players in international competitions, and this opening deficit was not enough to destroy his confidence. Although Pancic's serve is strong, he still has to do his best when it comes to returning.

This time, he decided to give it a try with a chipping ball. After all, when dealing with a serve with good speed and strength, chipping is one of the most effective ways to slow down the tempo.

However, after several attempts, Zhang Ze was depressed to find that although the slicing ball can indeed defuse the huge power of Pansizi's serve, compared with the highly offensive active slicing, his passive slicing threat is too small.

Due to the limited power, the power and spin that you can exert on the tennis ball while defusing the opponent's serve are very limited. Although the ball landed in bounds, it was slow and high. It can be said that this return ball is simply feeding Pansich a cannonball. The opponent doesn't need to adjust his pace at all, and he can kill the ball with just one shot.

At the same time, this can only be done on the premise that Zhang Ze can receive Pan Xiqi's serve. Because in the third game, in addition to successfully taking Pan Xiqi's serve back twice with a chipping ball, Zhang Ze was hit by the opponent with two aces due to guessing the wrong direction. It can be said that Zhang Ze's attempt to receive the serve in this game failed again.

0:3 behind, it seems that he has not scored a point in his impression, which makes Zhang Ze, who was sitting in the player's chair during the break, completely manic in his heart. For him, the sense of shame and anger in his heart began to gradually overwhelm reason. Unable to care about the faint pain in his right thigh, Zhang Ze decided that he would use his newly learned trick in the next game no matter what. Because if he can't hold his serve anymore, and then Pancic's extremely solid serve, the score of the first set is likely to be quickly stretched to 5:0.

At the end of the break, he walked to his half of the court step by step with a racket, Zhang Ze's eyes became more and more determined, and the whole person seemed to exude a different temperament from before.

"Originally, I wanted to wait until the finals to surprise Wu Di, but I didn't want to reveal the secret weapon so quickly, but now it seems that there is no need to do it. Okay, Pansizi, I'm going to try the results of my special training in Europe this winter! Zhang Ze finally made up his mind.

In the fourth game, standing on the service line, Zhang Ze raised his head and took a deep look at Pan Xiqi. Seeing that the other party's face was light and breezy, and not even a drop of sweat appeared, Zhang Ze felt irritable in his heart. Soon he suppressed his anger and began to warm up in his mind about the tactics he was going to use next.

"Zhang Ze, although this tactic is very powerful, the burden on the body will be much greater than usual. Therefore, if you have an injury or illness, you must use it carefully, and it is best to ensure that your body is in a healthy state. After a complete review of the key points that need to be paid attention to when practicing by himself, the European coach's special advice appeared in Zhang Ze's mind.

"Hmph, I can't care so much! If you can't pass the semi-finals, what will you do to compete with Wu for the championship! Gritting his teeth, Zhang Ze launched.

I saw him throw the tennis ball high and compress his body extremely to form a perfect reverse bow. The right-handed lead is behind you early, and when the ball falls to the right height, it is a blow with all your might.

"Bang", a sound not much weaker than Pansiqi's serve came out, and then the tennis ball smashed heavily on the outside corner of Pansiqi's first zone. It's just that this landing point is no longer close to the sideline like the ball sent by Zhang Ze before, but there is still a certain distance from the sideline.

Although the landing point is not as extreme as before, the speed of this ball has set a new record for Zhang Ze's serve.

"Look, 198 km! Zhang Ze's serve is also approaching 200 kilometers! "A spectator noticed the numbers displayed on the electronic screen in time.

Seeing Zhang Ze complete this serve, the coach of the Jiangsu team instantly widened his eyes and muttered: "It seems that he is still ready to use that move." Hey, it's okay, don't use it now, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to use it again. ”

"Pansiqi, see, if it weren't for the precise control of the point of the serve, I would have been able to send a serve close to yours with all my might. But if you think this is my hidden trick, you're underestimating me! ”

After Zhang Ze knocked the ball out, he quickly completed the recovery of his body. However, his action is not over yet. As soon as his feet hit the ground, he kicked his right foot hard, and his whole body jumped forward like a spring, and it seemed that the speed was not much slower than the speed of the ball.

"What? What is he going to do? Seeing Zhang Ze's action, Lin Teng instantly stood up from his seat.

Not only Lin Teng, but most of the people in the audience were taken aback by Zhang Ze's actions, and some people even let out an exclamation.

Here, Pan Xiqi was just a little surprised by Zhang Ze's serve, which was much faster than before, and was about to switch to forehand cutting to remove the gravity of the ball. At the moment of hitting the ball, he suddenly found that Zhang Ze had actually come to the net with the ball, and his feet moved so fast that even he had to praise it in his heart.

"Serve to the net? That's where it gets interesting. Pansiqi thought to himself.

Because Zhang Ze was not prepared to use this move in advance, Pan Xiqi only discovered the opponent's new tactic when he hit the ball, so it was too late to make any responses and misses. There was no way, Pansiqi could only carry out the set tactics and still cut the ball back.

If it was according to before, Pan Xiqi's chipping ball was low and urgent, and it was really difficult for Zhang Ze to deal with it when it fell to the bottom line. But now that Zhang Ze is standing in front of the net like a barrier, this chipping ball is much easier for him. Squatting slightly, aiming at the incoming ball to the side lightly, the tennis ball was lightly intercepted in front of Pancic.

Panci, who knew that it was too late to save the ball, did not make any superfluous movements, but just quietly watched the tennis ball land for the second time.

"15:0, in the fourth game, Zhang Ze leads."

With a surprise secret weapon, Zhang Ze scored his first point in the game!

Wonderful!
