Chapter 92: The Horn of Counterattack (Part 3)

Not long ago, Zhang Zhizhen was still comprehensively suppressing Pan Xiqi in the service game, but in the blink of an eye, this service game fell behind 0:40, and this drastic change of situation made the audience on the sidelines a little unacceptable for a while.

"I'm not mistaken, Panci actually got three break points at once? But he was obviously still in a backward state before? The Zhang Zhizhen fan said in astonishment.

Just before everyone realized what was happening, the coach of the Shanghai team was the first to see the problem.

"Oh no, compared to the previous games, Xiao Zhang's form has slipped a bit. Although it was not obvious, Pansiqi actually felt it keenly. And also seized this opportunity and directly launched a counterattack. It can be said that the reason why this game is behind is entirely caused by the pressure exerted by Pansiqi on Xiao Zhang. The coach thought to himself

"Now it's up to Zhang to self-regulate, and I hope this special training in Europe can help him. I have to say that this Pansiqi's ability to observe the situation on the field and grasp the fighter is too strong! ”

The coach of the Shanghai team expected that the current situation on the field was the result of Pan Xiqi's control. Since the opening, Zhang Zhizhen has been in excellent condition, how to play, how to have. Panci chose to back down, only to hold his serve firmly. Because he knows that this kind of offensive player can't maintain this state throughout the game, and there will definitely be ups and downs. And all he had to do was wait. Wait for your opponent's form to slip and deal a fatal blow to them.

Sure enough, he didn't let him wait too long, and he ushered in this opportunity in the seventh game. Although it was only a double fault, he still saw Zhang Zhizhen's fatigue due to his high excitement. Although this exhaustion was well concealed by him, it still did not escape Pansich's eyes. Therefore, he immediately launched an active attack and caught Zhang Zhizhen off guard.

Faced with three consecutive break points, Zhang Zhizhen was nervous for the first time. To be honest, he didn't quite understand why this was happening, he felt that his game was no different from before, and he was still very excited, but for some reason he fell behind.

"Calm down, I have to be calm. It's just a break point, just save them one by one. Zhang Zhizhen kept cheering himself up in his heart.

As he prepared to serve, he glanced up at Pansizi's receiving position. I saw Panci standing on the edge of the middle, obviously thinking that he would still insist on sending an outside corner.

"Hehe, you'd be wrong if you thought so. This time, I just don't send the outside corner, watch me hit you by surprise! With a smug smile on his face, Zhang Zhizhen sent the ball out.

Sure enough, for the first time in the game, Zhang Zhizhen did not send the ball to the outside corner, but flew towards the sideline of the inside corner. Because Zhang Zhizhen's serve preparation action is no different from the previous outside corner kick, but there is a violent change of direction in the wrist at the last touch of the ball. Therefore, his serve can be said to have deceived most of the people in the court.

"It's actually an inside corner, it seems that Xiao Zhang is starting to seek active changes!" The coach of the Shanghai team was also a little surprised, but then thought that this should be a signal for Zhang Zhizhen to fight back.

However, just when Zhang Zhizhen thought he would save the first break point with an ace, the smile on his face instantly froze. It turned out that Panci didn't seem to be deceived by his last change of direction, and moved to the outer corner. Instead, he quickly moved to the right and came to the middle of the bottom line.

At this time, with Pansiqi's position, he can comfortably use his forehand to catch Zhang Zhizhen's inside corner serve. Although the ball speed still reached more than 190 kilometers, Panci did not hesitate, directly hit the backslash with his forehand, and hit the ball to the opposite side.

This time it was Zhang Zhizhen's turn to be caught off guard, and after serving, he was almost not ready for the opponent to take the ball back, not to mention that Pan Xiqi also came to a violent serve attack. Without much thought, he spread his legs and ran to the left.

However, this ball was Pansiqi's unintentional calculation, and compared with the two, Pansiqi had already taken the lead. So despite his best efforts, he didn't get into a proper defensive position before the ball hit the ground.

Seeing that he was about to lose the ball, which meant that he would lose this service game, Zhang Zhi was ruthless in his heart, and actually made a very difficult hard slide in the last step.

With a "bang", the loud sound of the soles of the shoes rubbing against the ground spread throughout the court, and Zhang Zhizhen even left a mark on the field where he slid over. That is, his arms are long enough, and in this case, he really saved the ball at the last moment. However, at this time, he couldn't do anything more power, just fished the ball back with a backhand with both hands. Rao is like this, and he is already very satisfied.

Just as he was glad that he had saved the ball and was about to return to defense, he suddenly found that Panci had come to the net at some point. This was the first time Pansy had taken the initiative to come to the net in the whole game, and such a sudden change made Zhang Zhizhen have a strong sense of crisis.

"Not good!" Before he could shout, Pansiqi had already made his own move. I saw him standing in front of the net, holding the racket in his right hand, and steadily crossing the path of the tennis ball. Waiting for the ball to fly closer, a light unloading volley, the tennis ball was intercepted on Zhang Zhizhen's court.

"4-3, Pansich leads."

In this way, losing four points in a row, Zhang Zhizhen sent his own service game.

It can be said that the break completed by Pansiqi came without any warning, and it appeared so suddenly. Not only is the audience a little unable to come back to their senses, but Zhang Zhizhen is completely unacceptable.

"It's really broken. No way, it's absolutely impossible! Returning to the player's chair during the break, Zhang Zhizhen had a towel over his face, completely unable to believe what had just happened. In his mind, it should be Pansiqi who was broken.

It was Pansiqi's turn to serve, and due to an unexpected break in the previous game, the short 90-second break did not allow the battered Zhang Zhizhen to calm down quickly. In the face of Pansiqi's violent serve, he seemed helpless. Soon, Panci ushered in another four-point hold to rewrite the score to 5:3.

Faced with the two-game deficit, Zhang Zhizhen's impatience slowly began to appear. He has been unable to get out of the blow of being broken in the seventh game, and he is increasingly unable to calm his mind. Once an athlete's mentality is unbalanced, no matter how good the state is, it will disappear without a trace.

Zhang Zhizhen, who has played since the opening, is now in trouble with mistakes. In the face of the Shanghai coach's gradually turning blue, Pan Xiqi easily made another break with the opponent's low-level mistakes one after another, and won the first set with a score of 6:3.

Wonderful!
