Chapter 19: Doubles First Round (Part I)

Pansiqi's first round doubles opponent was a pair from CD, both of whom were in their forties, but they were still in good shape, and they didn't have the usual fat in middle age. Judging from the pre-game practice, these two should be full of ball oil, the line is changeable, the bottom line is solid, and it is estimated that the partner has been in business for some years.

But alas, they met the strange combination of Pansiqi. As soon as the game began, Da Wei squatted in front of the net, sticking to the side of the world in front of him. As for how to deal with the opponent's return ball, it is not a problem for him to consider, and it is natural for Pansiqi to deal with it.

The CD group was a little stunned when they saw this posture at first, but after a few beats, they found that the person in front of the net was just squatting and basically didn't work, and they were instantly overjoyed. Thinking that he was lucky, he actually met one of the opponent combinations in the first round and held back the other.

After realizing the favorable situation, the two energetically began to launch a fierce attack on Pansiqi, who remained on the bottom line, and mobilized Pansiqi back and forth through a large angle, wanting to give full play to the advantages of two against one.

At first, Pansiqi was really a little embarrassed to be transferred, but this was only for the beginning. Of the three-quarters of the field he could cover, there wasn't a ball he really couldn't handle. When running left and right, he maintained a good quality of his shots, leaving no good scoring opportunities for his opponents.

However, after all, the opponent is two people, and it is always bad for him to stalemate for a long time, so Pan Xiqi still decided to control the opponent by returning the ball, so as to try to create scoring opportunities for Da Wei in front of the net.

Seeing that the opponent's one-shot connection was not very tight, and returned a shallow ball, Pan Xiqi suddenly accelerated his volley with a backhand, and his strength instantly increased to a quarter. This kind of power was enough to make the big Wei capital explode the racket, and the originally slow tennis ball flew towards the opposite side at high speed as if it had been ignited.

And this racket Pan Xiqi had prepared for the line in advance, he chose to play in the middle and attack the joint of the two opponents. Sure enough, with the fast ball speed and tricky landing points, the other two had no time to react. The tennis ball passes directly through the middle and flies off the baseline after landing.

Losing this point, the CD group realized that the other party still had such a killer feature hidden. They used to think about two against one, but now they can't figure it out and be beaten by one against two in reverse.

In the next point, the two who had some scruples about Pansiqi began to consciously avoid Pansiqi, but most of the backcourt was Pansiqi defending, and how could they dodge. In desperation, he could only choose to pass the ball through Da Wei's side, hoping to hit the gap behind Da Wei that Pan Xiqi could not scruple about.

At this time, Dawei is like a tiger lurking in the shadows, and once the opportunity arises, it will launch a fatal blow. Seeing the tennis ball fly into his interception area, a first-level alarm sounded in his head, and a hungry tiger pounced, and ended the battle with a racket in an instant.

"Damn, it turns out that this person used to be able to play ball, which made Lao Tzu think that he was going to squat there until the end of the game." The CD combination realized that there was something serious about the problem.

However, the game has only just begun, and they still have their own tricks to use, so they are not too worried. In the next few minutes, Panci used the same method to win the first game.

"Da Wei, no matter what changes happen in the field for a while, you just squat there and see the opportunity before you start. The other balls have me. Afraid that Da Wei would be hit too hard by the singles, Pan Xiqi explained a few words to him during the break.

"Don't worry, as long as you are on the court in doubles, I am very relieved. I'll stand my own foot. Da Wei grinned and made a military order, as if the first few scores in front of the net made the haze in his heart instantly blown away.

I have to say that Pansiqi's hunch is still very accurate, and the CD combination began to take the initiative to change formations in the second game. Shockingly, they used the same tactics as Pansiqi. In other words, one player is in front of the net and the other is on the line.

Now it's getting interesting, with one player from each pair staying on the baseline and the other across the net at the net. Although it was in a different service area, Da Wei seemed to be able to feel the sound of the opponent's breathing.

The CD duo also had their own ideas for using this position, and through the first game, they found that the reason why they were passive was because Pansiqi's baseline ability was so strong that even if both of them stood on the baseline, they couldn't fight against it. At this time, as long as there is a slight mistake, he will be caught by Da Wei who is stuck in front of the net.

Since you can't compare to the other party's strengths, you should take the initiative to avoid them and confront the other party's shortcomings. Obviously, the shortcomings of the Pansiqi combination on the court are on Da Wei in front of the net. However, Da Wei's style of not making a move without encountering a great offensive opportunity also gave them a headache, which led to their inability to induce Da Wei into their trap.

If the other party refuses to take the bait, he can only take the initiative. Therefore, they decided that a player with better skills in front of the net would take the initiative to go online and form a confrontation with Dawei across the net, hoping to reverse the current unfavorable situation through a more dominant net.

It can be said that they are actually very clever in changing formations, because in comparison, Da Wei's network front technology is too poor. And the tennis player in the CD group, not to mention how good the skills in front of the net are compared to high-level athletes, but compared to Da Wei, it is much better.

Basically, Da Wei was restricted by his footsteps in front of the net and could only take care of the range within reach, so he only blocked a quarter of the opponent's return route, leaving Panci three-quarters of the field to defend. On the CD team's side, with their nimble footwork, the players in front of the net were basically able to block the return line in their own area, thus forcing Panci to return the ball to the other half of the court.

In the first points after the change of formation, the CD combination received good results. Due to the very active blocking and interception of players in front of the net, Panci's defensive pressure has increased dramatically, and the defensive time left for him has also been reduced by nearly half. Finally, after the opponent hit a return ball at a great angle, although Pan Xiqi ran in time, the return line was blocked by the player in front of the net, and he intercepted it directly in front of the net. The tennis ball passed a punch away from Da Wei's maximum defensive area, Da Wei didn't dare to move, but Pan Xiqi couldn't save the ball.

In the next few minutes, the CD combination basically scored consecutive points with the same tactics, and soon, the two sides were tied at 1:1.

During the break, Da Wei was obviously a little anxious.

"Panzi, it's not okay to go on like this. It's all my fault, the technology in front of the network is too poor. Even if you can expand the defensive area a little bit, it will take the pressure off you. Otherwise, I'll be like the other party at the beginning of the next game, and take the initiative to move and volley, right? ”

"No, absolutely not. It's just a trap when you don't have the ability to do it in front of the net. If you can't help but take the initiative, you're falling into the trap of the other party. Once you start taking the initiative, all the fire will be concentrated on your side. Pan Xiqi was unwavering and resolutely rejected Da Wei's proposal.

"But if we don't change, we'll be too passive." Da Wei asked anxiously.

"Hmph, the other party dares to put on the same formation as us, doesn't he just want to take advantage of the advantage in front of the net to control the situation. In that case, I'm going to see how hot the net-ahead player is. You're still holding your ground, and you shouldn't have to make a move. Just wait and see the show! Pansiqi chuckled into his lips.

"Okay, then I'll leave it all to you."

At the beginning of the third game, the CD combination naturally continued to use the successful tactics of the second game. The player in front of the net stood up early, and when he bent down to prepare, he glanced at Da Wei defiantly, as if he didn't look at Da Wei at all.

". If it weren't for Pan Zi's confession, Lao Tzu would be on the bar with you! Panzi was visibly furious.

Seeing that the opponent was deceived, the CD player was quite proud.

"It's right to be in a hurry, the more anxious you are, the more you want to tease me in front of the net. Lao Tzu has also discussed a few tricks in front of the net with a professional coach, and he just tried it out to open your eyes. "The tennis player wanted to teach the other man a lesson.

In the first point, Pansiqi served, and the opponent's baseline player successfully received the serve. Panci glanced at his opponent standing in front of the net before returning the ball. Sure enough, as he expected, the opponent was pacing very actively, his eyes were firmly fixed on his movements, and it seemed that as long as he hit the ball in the opponent's interception area, the opponent would not hesitate to pounce on him to volley.

"It seems that you are very confident in your network front technology, in this case, just as you wish!"

Pansiqi didn't dodge the opponent's volley in front of the net, but slapped a violent forehand and smashed the ball at the opponent.

"It's great, to put the ball back in this direction, it's a dead end."

The opponent in front of the net couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that the ball was really flying towards him. However, he did not relax, and adjusted his pace more actively, ready to intercept the ball at any time.

However, as the tennis ball flew rapidly, an unexpected happened.

"Not good! It's a chase ball! ”

It turned out that the ball shot by Pansiqi was aimed directly at the opponent's body. Due to the speed of the ball and the short flight distance, the tennis ball is in front of the net player in an instant. At this time, he has very little reaction time, which is enough for him to move his body to avoid being hit by a tennis ball.

However, the player's confidence was justified, and in such a short reaction time, he quickly blocked the racket in front of him and bounced the ball back. But this is already the limit of what he can do, as for how high the ball bounces and what landing point, it is not something he can control.

After Pancic's powerful shot was bounced off the opponent's racket, the strong forward momentum instantly turned into upward momentum, and a super high net ball was formed. Pan Xiqi naturally won't let go of this opportunity, a few steps to the net, a violent smash, perfect points!

"Damn, this kid is so fast, I didn't react for a while. Next time you are prepared, you will definitely let him eat deflated. After explaining to his teammates, the players in front of the net were a little angry.
