Back to the bottom line, Zhang Ze pinched his right thigh hard, wanting to relieve the pain in his muscles. Because his leg hurt so badly, Zhang Ze's hand was also very heavy. After rubbing it for a while, when his hand left his thigh, a palm print was clearly left on it.

Not to mention, Zhang Ze's pinching like this is equivalent to giving a massage to the muscles. The tense right thigh muscles relaxed a little, and the severe pain also decreased a lot. Seeing that the injury didn't seem to be to the point where he couldn't continue the game, Zhang Ze couldn't help but feel happy on his face, and then he was afraid for a while.

As he walked to the backcourt, he wondered if he wouldn't be able to continue the next game. If you just give up on the game, then your efforts this winter will be in vain. This is something he can't accept in any way.

"At the end of this game, let's call a medical timeout, let the medical staff give me a thigh massage, and then bandage it, it should be able to last the whole game. It's just that the next game has to be decided quickly, and it can't be delayed any longer. With this in mind, Zhang Ze slowly walked to the second zone, ready to make his fourth serve.

When he felt that the pain in his thigh seemed to have weakened to the point where it no longer affected his normal movements, Zhang Ze took a deep breath and began to serve.

This ball, he still sent it to the outside corner. As for Pansiqi's choice to go back straight or diagonally, he didn't care. For him, the only goal of standing in front of the net was to intercept Pancic's return ball.

As soon as the ball was released, Zhang Ze started again. Like a whirlwind, he whistled and threw himself in front of the net. However, before he could run to the net and land in position, Panci had already completed the hair extension with a backhand. However, Pansiqi's return this time was beyond everyone's expectations.

Neither the diagonal line that Zhang Ze was ready to block, nor the straight line that he had already prevented, in the face of a ferocious serve, Pan Xiqi just backhanded the side of the paddle diagonally upwards and gently knocked out an overhead high ball. Different from the super high ball that Pan Xiqi picked up in the previous game, this ball is not very high in order to pursue a certain speed, but it will pass over the head of Zhang Ze in front of the net.

This sudden change can be said that Zhang Ze is not psychologically prepared. At this point, he was still a meter or two away from the net, and his body was still rushing forward, and Pancic's return serve was almost flying over his head.

Seeing the tennis ball flying, he estimated the height of the ball on the spot, and Zhang Ze thought that if he jumped on the spot, he still had a chance to complete a volley smash. Once this ball is completed, not only will you be able to win your serve smoothly, but it will also greatly boost your momentum and make a good start for the next counterattack.

However, in order to complete such a difficult smash, Zhang Ze first had to completely stop his body that was still rushing forward, and then jump with all his strength. If the body is completely healthy, it is not a problem for Zhang Ze to complete such a combination of movements. But now that I have a foot injury, it's complicated.

Although I realized that my physical condition at the moment did not seem to be suitable for such a difficult move, the temptation of a violent smash to win the service game was too great. Thinking that his right leg should be able to hold on for a while longer, Zhang Ze decided to take a gamble.

Due to the extreme fierceness of the body rushing forward after serving, coupled with Zhang Ze's height of 1.88 meters, if he wants to stop his body in an instant in the process of moving forward at this high speed, the pressure on his legs can be imagined. What's even worse is that at this moment, the right leg is on the ground, and you need to slow down your body by rubbing your right leg against the ground.

At this time, Zhang Ze has no choice, if he takes another step and uses his left leg to brake, then he will completely miss the opportunity to smash, and he will never reach this overhead high ball again.

With a ruthless heart, Zhang Ze stomped his right foot to the ground, and his whole body instantly stopped in place. At this moment, except for part of his mind still observing the flight of the tennis ball, Zhang Ze stayed most of his mind on his right leg.

He didn't feel anything unusual, and there was no severe pain, Zhang Ze was overjoyed in his heart, and felt that it must be God's blessing that allowed him to escape this catastrophe. Stabilizing his body, he exerted his strength again with his feet, aiming at the tennis ball that had just flown overhead, and prepared to pounce on a hungry tiger.

However, this time, the body did not rise into the air as he expected. It seemed that he couldn't feel the power from his right foot at all, Zhang Ze didn't jump up at all, but his body was weak and he fell directly backwards on the court. The moment he fell to the ground, the tennis ball flew over his body completely and landed firmly within the bottom line of the backcourt.

When he came to his senses and held the ground with his hand to get up, he found that his right leg could not be used no matter what. After a while, the right leg gradually regained sensation. But this is not a good thing, because the pain that is several times stronger than before is overwhelming towards Zhang Ze. Under the severe pain, Zhang Ze couldn't hold back any longer, and sat on the ground with his right thigh in his arms and moaned loudly.

It wasn't until this moment that the live audience realized what was happening. Looking at Zhang Ze's painful way of holding his legs, it must have been a lot of injury. The sudden accident made the scene chaotic, and the noise in the audience instantly rang out.

Seeing Zhang Ze fall to the ground, the referee forgot to report the score, hurriedly got down from the referee's chair, and stepped forward to check Zhang Ze's injury. Pan Xiqi also came to the opposite field for the first time, wanting to see if he could help him.

For Pan Xiqi, although he knew that Zhang Ze was injured, he thought that athletes always knew their bodies best and should know the severity. Who knew that Zhang Ze was lucky in order to win the game, and forcibly jumped to lead to the current situation, which was somewhat unexpected to him.

Regarding the referee's inquiry, Zhang Ze didn't have time to pay attention to it at all. At this time, he was experiencing severe pain, feeling that his right thigh was burning, and the whole person was going to be bad. Seeing this, the referee hurriedly called the medical staff waiting on the sidelines into the field.

The medical staff first sprayed Zhang Ze's right leg with a potion, trying to help him relieve the pain at this time. When Zhang Ze's pain subsided a little and he was able to speak, he checked Zhang Ze's right leg again and asked Zhang Ze some targeted questions.

Although Pan Xiqi didn't hear what they said clearly, judging from Zhang Ze's gloomy face, the situation should not be too optimistic.

Finally, after the final communication and confirmation with Zhang Ze, the medical staff informed the referee that Zhang Ze's right leg had suffered a serious muscle strain, and he could no longer continue the next game, so he could only withdraw from the game for treatment.

When the referee informed the audience of Zhang Ze's retirement, the audience was in an uproar. Many of Zhang's supporters couldn't believe the news and stood up one after another. The coach of the Hubei team was even more gloomy, and he had a premonition about this result at the moment when Zhang Ze fell to the ground. But when I really heard the news, my heart was still sour. Because with Zhang Ze's exit, the journey of the Jiangsu team in this tennis Grand Prix has come to an end.

Seeing Zhang Ze lying on a stretcher and being carried out of the field by several medical personnel, Pan Xiqi sighed in his heart. Although he was confident of winning the match, he did not expect that he would reach the first final of his career in such a dramatic way.

Wonderful!
