Chapter 99: Beaten and cried by Zhang Guan (1st update)
PS. Present the May Day update, don't hurry up to play after reading, remember to vote for the month first. From now on, you can enjoy double monthly passes for the 515 Fan Festival, and you can also take a look at other activities with red envelopes!
The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is extremely cruel.
In the Grand Slam match, it is not easy to let two chase three, not to mention that now Lee Hyung-taek's rhythm has been completely disrupted.
"What kind of play is this, suddenly the receiving point is advanced, and the rhythm of attack and defense is also changing continuously." Lee Hyung-taek gasped, and the continuously changing rhythm caused him to consume more physical strength than usual.
"Zhang Guan's forehand is more accurate than I expected." A sense of powerlessness rose in Li Hengze's heart, Zhang Guan was always taking the initiative to change the rhythm of offense and defense, and every change was always extremely sudden, and Li Hengze could only be very passive to adapt to the changes.
"What to do? What am I going to do? Li Hengze's heart began to become anxious.
If you're a top player, you might not be so passive at this point, and they can at least find some way to keep their serve and make sure they don't lose the initiative. And Li Hengze obviously does not have this ability, he has been playing professional tennis for 12 years, he has no potential to explore, he does not have the skills of top veteran players, nor the imagination of new players, and the experience of his honor guard is useless in the face of a new style of play that he has never seen.
In the blink of an eye, the first four games of the third set were over, and Lee Hyung-taek still didn't win even a game.
……
Federer finished his game and walked out of the Philippe Chattier Stadium.
Federer's first round was supposed to take place yesterday, but due to heavy rain, the second set of that match was aborted halfway through, so he had to make up for the rest of the match today. In the end, Federer also won comfortably with an aggregate score of 3-0 and advanced to the next round.
"The last game of the day was Nadal's match. Aren't you going to take a look? Milka, who had been with Federer, asked.
"No, Nadal is too late, let's go back and watch live TV! Besides, the two of us have played against each other many times, so we already know the roots, and I am familiar with his style of play. Federer lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Let's go to Court 6." ”
"Court 6? Who to see? Milka asked.
"Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan's game was on Court 6. I've forgotten who his opponent is, well, it doesn't matter who it is. Federer continued: "But Zhang Guan did not participate in any tournaments in these three months, not even the three Masters before the French Open, it is said that he began to cooperate with Zhang Depei, who was also the French Open champion that year, and is also the youngest French Open champion, and is Asian, maybe he has helped Zhang Guan develop some secret weapon." I'll have to take a look. ”
"Maybe he's bluffing. I've read some recent reports and they've said that Zhang's style of play isn't very suitable for clay courts. On clay, the play in front of the net is not effective. Milka spoke.
"Even if he doesn't play in front of the net, Zhang Guan's baseline skills are very strong, and his forehand spin is even a few points better than mine, almost comparable to Nadal. I think Davydenko is definitely not his opponent, and in the 2/4 group, it will be Zhang Guan who will finally qualify. A strong battle intent flashed in Federer's eyes: "That is." We will meet in the semi-finals! ”
Court 6 is next to Stadium Phillip, and the two of them are talking to the entrance to Court 6.
Of course, French Open players do not need to buy tickets to enter the French Open. For Federer, as long as he is willing to show his face, any tennis court in the world will open the door to welcome him.
Federer walked onto the pitch while the match between Jang Guan and Lee Hyung-taek was still underway. Federer immediately looked at the scoreboard, only to see that the match between the two was nearing its end.
"6-0/6-0, it turned out to be two 6-0s! The third set was also 4-0. Who is Zhang Guan's opponent? Looking at the name of Asian, I remembered that it was Lee Hyung-taek. Federer looked at the arena and sure enough, he saw Lee Hyung-taek.
"Lee Hen-taek is also a veteran, although he hasn't made any achievements. However, the world ranking is also in the top 40, why is the strength so weak? So far, I haven't won a single game! Federer is not a tennis novice like Zhang Guan, and as the first person in the tennis world, he knows at least a little bit about the top 50 players in the ATP rankings.
Federer looked at the arena and his eyes instantly stayed on Zhang Guan.
"Why does Zhang Guan have so many invalid movements? In the Australian Open final, he didn't run so actively, although the French Open should use more active running, but what is such a blind run? Wasted energy. Could this be the tactic given to him by Zhang Depei? Federer shook his head, feeling that a good opponent was probably going to disappear.
However, the next moment, Federer's eyes suddenly widened: "Huh? Ran into the bottom line? Got the catch early? It is a flat batting, a sudden offensive and defensive switching! I understand that by causing offensive and defensive transitions in advance of the receiving point, I can control the rhythm while also disrupting the opponent's rhythm and making the opponent flawed! ”
Federer's level is much higher than Lee Hen-taek's, just this one goal, Federer saw Zhang Guan's whole set of tactical intentions.
"It turned out that those were not ineffective runs, but a kind of temptation, or a kind of ready to rush forward at any time, so that the pace of the shot could be increased more quickly. Could this be Zhang Guan's new tactic? Federer quickly analyzed in his mind.
"It's still a run-based tactic, and the core of the tactic is to control the tempo. Using this tactic requires quick movement, a strong forehand, accurate judgment and extraordinary physical strength...... These Zhang Guan seem to have all of them, and this is really a set of tactics tailored for Zhang Guan! Federer frowned, thinking about how he would crack this tactic if he faced it.
"The French Open is a slow court, the slower the ball speed, the easier it is for Zhang Guan to catch the ball in advance, how do I feel that this tactic is really a bit unsolvable in the French Open!"
……
In the third set, the two sides fought 5-0, and the sixth game was 30-30, and the two sides were tied.
In this game, Lee Hyung-taek played extremely tenacious, it can be seen that he is really desperate, he knows that he will lose this game, but he does not want to lose this game without winning a game.
"I'm going to score, I'm going to win at least one game!" This belief supported Lee Hyung-taek and made him not give up at this moment.
But the difference in strength between the two sides was an insurmountable gap, and he still conceded this goal. And the next goal, if Lee Hyung-taek loses again, the game will be over.
The commentator of Central Electric has begun to celebrate, and has begun to analyze Zhang Guan's opponent in the next game, and the South Korean commentator has fallen into complete silence.
In the barbecue restaurant, the young man who shouted "Let two chase three" lowered his head and couldn't bear to watch this scene, while another table of guests next to him stood up and prepared to check out and leave. And Liu Yong had a great appetite, not only ordered meat, but also added a bottle of soju.
Finally, the match was over, and the score of the third set was also 6-0.
Li Hengze looked at the final score, 6-0 in three sets, tears flowed involuntarily, in his 12-year tennis career, he had never lost so badly, he had never felt so wronged.
"It turns out that the difference in strength between us is so big!"
Before the game, Lee Hyung-taek was still full of confidence to defeat Zhang Guan and ascend to the throne of "Asia's No. 1", but now, he wants to find a place where no one can cry.
A camera captured the moment, giving Lee Hyung-taek a close-up of his face, and the tears that slipped from the corner of Lee Hyung-taek's eye were particularly conspicuous.
The commentator of the central power station obviously didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and he immediately said: "Oops, Li Hengze was beaten and cried by Zhang Guan!" ”
