Chapter Sixty-Eight: A Perfect Beginning
In the first game, Panci served first. Standing on the court, looking at the full range of referees, divisions, and especially a few more caddies than in amateur matches, Panci really felt that he was participating in a professional tennis match.
Coming to the first serving area, holding the Beijing team's new Baibaoli racket, Pan Xiqi slapped the tennis ball on the ground three times as usual. This action was learned from his idol cow, no more, no less, exactly three strokes, much more crisp than Deyo and Murray. Not to mention the full set of actions of buttoning the butt and pulling the hair before natto serve, it is almost a person who is forced to die.
Since I joined the professional team, the racket I bought before is no longer suitable for use in professional competitions. Therefore, the Beijing team reconfigured several Baibaoli rackets for him according to Pansic's habits, and the tension of the string also increased a lot due to Pansiqi's strength. In this way, the new racket will allow Pancicic to return the ball more aggressively in the game.
Looking at Pan Xiqi's decent movements before serving, Qin Fen on the opposite side was quite disdainful. It's just an amateur, what's the use of preparing for the action no matter how beautiful, and the ball sent out is not still vulnerable.
Thinking in his heart, Qin Fen took a big step forward and completely entered the bottom line. Judging from this receiving position, he didn't pay attention to Pansiqi's serve at all.
Observing the movements of Qin Fen's feet, the corners of Pan Xiqi's mouth couldn't help but raise a smile. When the ball bounced off the ground for the third time, he didn't pause, threw the ball upwards with the momentum, and at the same time stretched his body backwards into a reverse bow, holding the racket high in his right hand and waiting behind him.
"Good standard tee position! At least from this serve, it is completely impossible to tell that Panci is an amateur. Some viewers silently exclaimed in their hearts. Most of the audience were tennis insiders, so they were sensitive to the technical movements of the players. In their eyes, Pansiqi's action could hardly be faulted.
Director Liu was not a tennis professional before, and belonged to a layman. Therefore, after watching Pansiqi's initial movements, he didn't react, but the next scene made him exclaim.
The tennis ball began to fall after rising to the highest point, and when the ball reached the optimal height, Pansiqi no longer hesitated, and his whole body was like a tense slingshot that instantly unfolded, and the energy accumulated before burst out completely without reservation at this moment. Pansizi's strong right arm swung rapidly, driving the tennis racket to smash the tennis ball rapidly.
With a "bang", a loud impact sound was heard, and the eardrums of everyone present seemed to be able to feel a powerful impact of sound waves. The yellow tennis ball then flew towards the outside corner of the opponent's tee area at incredible speed.
In less than a second, another loud sound sounded, sounding like a tennis ball hitting the ground directly. However, the tennis ball that landed on the ground was not hindered in any way, and continued to fly towards the backcourt with the crazy momentum given by Pansiqi, until it hit the billboard ten meters away from the bottom line and made a muffled sound, then stopped its forward pace and rolled to the ground.
A little more than a second, three rings were heard. Except for Pansiqi, who had recovered his body at this time and walked unhurriedly towards the second service area, everyone in the audience was completely unaware of what had just happened.
The referee also seemed to be stunned by the situation just now, but he still reacted first. Suppressing the shock in his heart, he broadcast the score in a smooth tone as much as possible: "ACE ball, 15:0, Pansiqi leads!" ”
As the score was announced, the originally extremely quiet scene suddenly exploded, and the audience was suddenly in chaos. Except for the insiders of the Beijing team, the vast majority of people in the audience couldn't believe what they had just seen.
"What just happened? Pansiqi actually sent an ace ball, I must be crazy, right? A spectator who had loudly laughed at Panci before the game was on his feet in excitement.
"I can't believe it, but from the referee's announcement, it does seem to be the case." His companion was also confused.
"Look at the monitor, 202 km, oh my God, he sent an ace over 200 km at the beginning!" A spectator pointed to the electronic display in the backcourt with a look of horror. Under his guidance, everyone's eyes shifted to the monitor, and after confirming that it was correct, a louder exclamation was heard than before.
It can be said that Pansiqi's ace completely disrupted the game, and countless people saw a scene they had never thought of before the game. You must know that for Asian players with congenital weakness in physical strength, especially Chinese players, serving is a difficult technique to master. The average professional player is not very high, and there are only a few players who can serve the ball stably for more than 190 kilometers.
And for professional tennis players, serving at 200 kilometers per hour can be said to be another dividing line. If you can serve the ball at a speed of 200 kilometers and stabilize at this level, then you can be said to be an out-and-out service master. Such a player will have a huge advantage against the Chinese player, and the serve alone can bring a lot of points.
Therefore, when Pancic, as an amateur, sent an ace ball of more than 200 kilometers, the impact on the hearts of everyone present can be imagined. At this time, a person is completely unable to stand.
I saw Ding Ye stand up from his seat, looking like a ghost.
"How so, how can this be? He's obviously just an amateur player, and it's impossible for him to serve like that. Looking at Pan Xiqi on the field with round eyes, Ding Ye was muttering to himself.
"Accident, this must be an accident! By the way, it can only be said that he is lucky, and he is about to reveal the next ball! Ding Ye suddenly found an excuse to convince himself.
Sitting in the first row of the audience, Director Liu, who was originally very serious, also seemed a little moved at this time. He turned his head to the staff next to him and asked suspiciously: "Didn't you say that this Pan Xiqi is an amateur, his level is very stinky, and he only entered the Beijing team by connections?" Why is this first serve completely different to me? "It seems that even a layman like Director Liu can see the power of Pan Xiqi's serve.
The staff sitting on the side obviously didn't expect this scene to appear, so they were asked for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he replied hesitantly: "It may be that Pansiqi is more talented in serving, and amateur players may also have some very good skills." ”
Director Liu obviously didn't believe in this answer, but after all, it was only the first ball, so he didn't ask anything more, but chose to continue watching.
At this time, there is another person who is also in a state of blindfolding, that is Qin Fen, who is still standing in place stupidly. At that time, he adopted a very offensive return position, ready to directly return to Pancic's serve. But what he didn't expect was that after he saw Pansic swing his racket and heard the sound, he had no idea what happened next.
In his opinion, before he had time to think, the opponent's ball had already smashed viciously on the field and flew past him. For this serve, his body did not make even a little physiological response, and it can be said that he has completely reduced from a receiver to a spectator on the court.
"Damn, who can tell me what just happened!" Seeing the numbers on the display board, he had a strong sense of unreality.
However, it can't be blamed that he can't accept it, with his level, there is basically no chance to participate in international competitions, even if he participates in a limited number of international challenges, it is the lowest level, and it is impossible for high-level athletes to participate, let alone a few particularly good serves.
Qin Fen, who has been mixed in the domestic arena for a long time, has almost no chance to play with the serving master, so he basically has no experience in receiving the serve with this kind of ball speed directly exceeding 200. Coupled with the aggressive way of receiving the serve he used to die, there was no chance in the face of Pansic's strong serve.
At this time, looking at Pan Xiqi on the opposite side walking towards the second area without hurrying, it seemed that there was nothing worthy of his pleasure in this ball, Qin Fen had an illusion in his heart, did Pan Xiqi feel that it was a matter of course to send such a serve?
At this time, Pansiqi was thinking about a completely different question from everyone else. "The effect of this serve is okay, but the angle doesn't seem to be particularly outward, and it's not an extreme serve. However, the first point of his career can open the game with an ace, which is not a bad start. "Overall, Pansiqi is satisfied.
In the second minute, Pansic slapped the ball to the ground three times as usual. At this time, he observed his opponent through the corner of his eye, but found that Qin Fen had already blushed and was honestly standing behind the bottom line. It seemed that it was not safe, Qin Fen hesitated, and actually took a small step back, it seemed that Pan Xiqi's first serve had too much impact on his heart.
"It was just an accident, it was just an accident." Constantly thinking silently in his heart, Qin Fen's eyes were firmly fixed on Pan Xiqi's every movement, and it seemed that he wanted to eat him.
Pan Xiqi couldn't control the opponent's reaction so much, and after three shots, he threw it up casually, and then a serve that was exactly the same as just now was successfully performed.
At this time, Qin Fen's spirit was highly concentrated, and when he saw Pan Xiqi swinging his racket to hit the ball, he was about to get up and make a return action. Unexpectedly, before he could react, he heard a crisp sound again, and the tennis ball turned into a virtual shadow, flew directly past him, and smashed on the back baffle.
This time, the referee's reaction was significantly faster, and as soon as the ball landed, the score was quickly reported.
"Ace, 30-0, Pansich leads."
At this time, looking at the electronic display screen in the backfield, the number 203 on it is very eye-catching at the moment.
Pan Xiqi was finally satisfied with the angle of the serve this time, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. In this way, Pansiqi started his legendary career with two aces in a row.
