Chapter 61: The Unlucky Zhang San and Li Si (Middle)
"Damn, how can this be? Obviously, two people can defend on the bottom line together, but they choose one person to fight against us, which is not scientific at all! Feeling the strangeness of Panxiqi's combination tactics, Zhang San found it really incomprehensible.
He originally thought that the opponent would take a forward and backward position at the beginning just to catch the first few beats, and once he entered the stalemate stage, he would take the initiative to change back to the double baseline position like most players and have a frontal baseline confrontation. Unexpectedly, after several beats, Lin Teng was still squatting in front of the net without any intention of retreating. Lin Teng didn't even take a few more glances at their match-to-hand ball with Panci, as if this game had nothing to do with him at all.
However, what made Zhang San and Li Si feel even more devastated was that although Pan Xiqi was the only one defending on the bottom line, the two of them on their side had no way to take him. It seemed like a large field of space, but under Pansiqi's super-fast movement speed, he couldn't find a chance to score at all. There are some balls that should not have been saved in a normal doubles match, but Pansiqi can save them. Even under the pressure of his strength, the two of them felt that they couldn't stand it several times.
"It's really an eye-opener, I didn't expect doubles to be able to play like this. This Pan Xiqi is too strong, one person resists two people and does not fall behind. One of the team members sighed.
"Where is the upper hand, you look at this scene, it is simply the upper hand. It's terrifying, this bottom-line ability is really too much beyond us! "The other team member was completely conquered by Pansiqi.
"But one of the weaknesses of this style of play is that Pancic's physical exertion is much greater than that of his opponent, and I don't know if he has enough physical strength to survive the whole game." One coach voiced his concerns.
As if in response to the coach's thoughts, Pansiqi didn't plan to continue the fight. seized the opportunity of the opponent's return to the ball at a too positive angle, mobilized his body to fully exert his strength, and swept to Li Si's feet with a violent front shot, and played a fast chase ball.
"Oops, it's too late to adjust your body posture!" Li Si was shocked in his heart and realized the crisis at this moment. But there was no way, Pansiqi's ball came too fast, he could only raise his racket and block it in front of him, and he was extremely embarrassed to return the ball.
The return ball in this passive situation naturally could no longer deliberately control the return line, and the first time the tennis ball was unfettered, it did not hit in the direction of Pan Xiqi, but flew towards Lin Teng's position.
At this time, Lin Teng, who had been waiting in front of the net for a long time, saw the opportunity appear, and his eyes instantly burst into a fierce light. He is like a lion who has been in ambush for a long time, and responds with the most ferocity the moment his prey appears.
"The ball is not fast, but it is a little high, no problem, within the volley!" Seeing that the tennis ball was about to fly above his head, Lin Teng no longer hesitated after making a judgment in his heart, and instantly straightened up and bounced up quickly, which was a volley smash against the incoming ball.
"Oops, the ball is too high to reach!" At the moment when he was about to hit the ball, Lin Teng suddenly found that he still underestimated the height of this return ball. I don't know if Li Si was lucky, and in his panic, he actually popped up an over-the-top ball, and the height just crossed Lin Teng. With Lin Teng's current position in front of the net, it will feel very uncomfortable to deal with.
However, Lin Teng decided to try to volley. Because in the previous confrontation, he did not play his role on the field at all, which made him feel very unaccustomed, as if he was dragging Pansiqi back. Therefore, when the opportunity arises, he will never let it go.
Stretching out his arm as much as he could, Lin Teng actually relied on his strong jumping ability to reach the ball. The moment he touched the ball, his arm instantly exerted force, his wrist pressed down, and he made a beautiful volley.
There was a "bang" and a crisp bang in the arena. The tennis ball flew out from Lin Teng's shot and quickly flew towards the right sideline. At this time, Li Sizheng was nailed to the spot because of the chasing ball on the previous shot, and he didn't have time to react. Zhang San was even far away on the other side of the court, and he could only watch the tennis ball fall to the ground.
Just when everyone thought that the Pancicic combination would win the first point in this wonderful way, an unexpected surprise appeared. The tennis ball flew quickly to the sideline, but did not stop when it reached the top of the sideline, and flew out about 10 centimeters before hitting the ground heavily.
"It's a shame that it's out of bounds!" The players on the sidelines let out a sigh.
"Haha, I'm out of bounds, God help me!" Zhang San and Li Si had given up completely, but they didn't expect the peak to turn around, and the unexpected surprise made their faces show a fluke color, and the two who felt lucky also slapped their hands heavily.
The moment he shot, Lin Teng felt that something was wrong with this ball. Although he barely reached it, his body posture was not in the best position at this time, so he felt a little awkward in his strength. However, with his confidence in his volley skills and a hint of luck in his heart, Lin Teng still completed this smash.
After all, tennis is a delicate sport, and as long as there is some error, you will get different results. Sure enough, this interception of Lin Teng still made a mistake. Seeing that the tennis ball was out of bounds, he looked depressed, turned around and walked towards Pansiqi.
"Uncle, I'm sorry, I didn't handle this ball well, and I dragged you back." Coming to Pan Xiqi's side, Lin Teng said apologetically.
At this time, Pan Xiqi did not reproach him, but patted Lin Teng's shoulder and replied with a smile: "Hey, what is this?" Who hasn't made a mistake in playing. But have you forgotten what I told you? ”
"I know, you put me in front of the net, no matter what happens, as long as I feel uncomfortable, I don't have to hit the ball, let you handle it. But just now I squatted in front of the net for so long, watching you go back and forth on the bottom line alone, I felt like a waste, and I couldn't help you. Lin Teng replied in a low voice.
"So this ball in front of the net had a bad chance, but you still chose to volley, right?"
"I thought I could hit it, but who would have thought that the ball would be so high, so I made a mistake." Lin Teng was very annoyed.
"Now you know why I made you feel comfortable doing it, right? Only then will your error rate be minimized. And once you don't make a mistake, the opponent will be even more afraid to hit the ball at you, so you can only choose to attack me. And for them, it's clearly just a dead end. Pan Xiqi explained to Lin Teng the horror of his tactics.
"Of course, you are a professional tennis player after all, and your skills are much stronger than Da Wei, and the previous requirements for you seem to have wronged you. In this way, in the next games, you can increase the distance you can move and increase the coverage in front of the net. As long as the absolute opportunity is right, you can start. But we must not repeat the situation we just made. The height of that ball is obviously too much for you. In order to take care of Lin Teng's emotions, Pan Xiqi appropriately adjusted his tactics.
Pan Xiqi's requirements for Lin Teng in front of the net were almost the same as Da Wei's, that is, squatting there to guard, and then starting when the ball was at hand, and nothing else was left to chance. The advantage of this is that Pansiqi takes care of his partner like a child as a nanny, and the requirements for his partner's ability are actually very low. This is also why Da Wei's level can also win the championship in Shanghai under the leadership of Pan Xiqi.
But Lin Teng is different, Lin Teng can be regarded as a good player, and his skills are much stronger than Da Wei. Such a player, if you let him squat in front of the net to do that bit of work, it's like not allowing an adult to eat by himself, and he relies on others to feed him. Although this is comfortable, it is inevitably a little too aggrieved.
With this in mind, Pansic relaxed the restrictions on Lin Teng, allowing him to handle the ball within his ability.
"Okay, I promise it won't happen again!" With Pan Xiqi's permission, Lin Teng's heart was also a lot easier, and he felt that he was finally not able to work in the future.
In the second point, Zhang San continued to serve, and it was Lin Teng's turn to serve. For Zhang San's serve, Lin Teng still adopted his usual way of grabbing points, and directly accelerated the pace to return the ball to the past during the rising period. However, just when Zhang San and Li Si were in a hurry by Lin Teng's quick return ball, Lin Teng, who had returned the ball, actually ran towards the net without any pause, came to his side of the net and squatted down.
"Damn, what's going on, is that kid going to stay in front of the net for the whole game?" Seeing that the other party had taken a position one after the other, Zhang San and Li Si felt a mess.
In a hurry, the ball was returned to the past, but Pan Xiqi did not give them any respite, and a handsome SLR straight line was about to sneak attack Li Si's forehand position. Li Si was also a little beaten out, seeing that neither of them could withstand the attack of the opponent, or in front of so many people in the whole team, he felt a little embarrassed.
Aiming at the incoming ball, he roared in his mouth and mobilized all his strength to meet it with his forehand. He actually chose to confront Pansiqi's return head-on, and the result can be imagined. After unloading Pansiqi's ferocious power from returning the ball, he was horrified to find that he had no more power left. Gritting his teeth and controlling his shaky wrists, he did his best to get the ball back.
However, the ball he returned was clearly underpowered and not very fast. Pansiqi had little difficulty handling the ball, and he switched stances to another forehand diagonal to hit Zhang San on the other side.
Seeing that his teammates were deflated, Zhang San knew that his strength was similar to Li Si's, and he would definitely not be able to confront Pan Xiqi's ball head-on. Therefore, he was not as impulsive as Li Si, but chose to use a more stable two-handed backhand backhand to push out a mid-lane return. Rao is like this, after returning to the ball, he also felt that his tiger mouth was a little numb.
The power of this return ball is better than Li Si's ball, but the angle is a little too positive. is not only in the middle lane, but also in the middle lane is a little biased towards Lin Teng's side. Seeing that the tennis ball was about to fly over the net, when the ball was still one step away from him, Lin Teng made a move.
