Chapter 96: The Stormy Offensive (Five Watches)

The Korean commentator looked confused.

Just five minutes ago, while the two athletes were still preparing for the match, the commentator had briefed the audience on the situation of the two, and at that time he had sworn that Zhang Guan's high-speed serve would be greatly reduced on the clay court, and that with the strength of Lee Hen-taek, he would be able to deal with it freely, and constantly emphasized that Lee Hen-taek had a good chance of breaking serve in the first game.

However, the fact is that it only took Zhang Guan more than two minutes to successfully hold serve and win the game, which also includes the time for the referee to come down from the high bench to check the landing point of the tennis ball. This contrast gives the Korean commentator a sense of self-pity.

"I've looked up a lot of information before the match, and I've read the recent media reports, aren't those experts saying that Zhang Guan's serve is not suitable for clay? Why can Zhang Guan still send two aces in a row? Why is the first game a love-game? Lee Hyung-taek didn't even win a single ball, how can I justify myself! ”

The Korean commentator kept complaining in his heart, but in the headphones, the director began to urge him to speak faster.

He deserves to be a professional sports commentator, and in the next second, he has a good rhetoric.

"In tennis, the first game is usually a warm-up process, and if it's the first time for both sides, it's definitely a process of testing each other. Lee Hyung-taek was playing against Zhang Guan once, so he was not familiar with Zhang Guan, so he was also tactically testing Zhang Guan. Now, after a trial game, Lee Hyung-taek must have some knowledge of his opponent, and the next game is Lee Hyung-taek's serve, and I think Lee Hyung-taek will definitely use a stormy attack. Win the next game! The South Korean commentator's tone became more and more excited, as if Lee Hyung-taek was about to win the whole match.

In the barbecue restaurant, the diners nodded their heads in agreement, obviously they were very satisfied with the narrator's set of justifications, and in their subjective consciousness, they all thought that this justification was correct.

A lot of the time. People's perception of things does not depend on truth, but on their own subjective perception. That's why there are so many stubborn people in this world.

On the court, the two sides started the second game, followed by Lee Hyung-taek's serve.

The first game ended too quickly, and Zhang Guan also sent two aces, so Lee Hyung-taek did not feel the difference in strength between the two sides. What Lee Hen-taek can make clear so far is that Zhang Guan's forehand is very strong.

Ever since Nadal swept the clay court with that perverted topspin, there has been a consensus in the tennis world that on clay you must play as much topspin as possible. This is because topspin is one of the most stable and lethal shots. So on clay nowadays, even a heavy gunner like Gonzalez often uses topspin.

So Li Hengze didn't feel too much surprise at Zhang Guan's topspin, after all, it was a clay court, and it was a Grand Slam level competition like the French Open, and the players must have played topspin desperately, and it was reasonable for Zhang Guan to hit this kind of topspin ball with great strength.

The next serve is not Lee Hyung-taek's strong point, of course, the so-called "not strong serve" is aimed at the world's top players. Lee is ranked in the top 40 in the world. Compared with players of the same level, Lee Hyung-taek's serve is quite decent.

However, at the moment, Lee Hyung-taek is facing an opponent who is even stronger than Federer. In Zhang Guan's eyes, Li Hengze's serve is really a little weak.

Lee Hyung-taek stood outside the baseline, looked at the position of Zhang Guan opposite, and began to serve.

"Zhang Guan's two ace balls just now, are they deliberately giving me a horse? Now I'm going to get it back! On his first serve of the match, Lee Hyung-taek was also ready to fight for an ace to boost his morale.

"Drink!" Lee Hyung-taek also chose a landing point close to the sideline. He let out a loud shout, and the tennis ball drew a trajectory in the air and landed on Zhang Guan's half.

The ball landed very close to the sideline, and the angle was very off, and after landing, the ball flew directly out of bounds.

However, due to a lack of strength. The speed of this ball is not very fast, and after bounce on the red earth, it loses a lot of energy, and the ball is even slower.

"There are landing points and angles, but unfortunately there is no speed!" Zhang Guan rushed forward quickly, if he was a player ranked around 40 in the world, he would probably find it difficult to receive this ball, but the speed of movement is obviously a good trick for Zhang Guan, and he can easily receive the serve.

"Poof!" After the racket made contact with the ball, a crisp sound reached Lee Hyung-taek's ears.

"Zhang Guan's movement speed is so fast!" Lee Hyung-taek sighed inwardly, then responded with a forehand topspin.

Lee Hyung-taek also knew that his strength was not dominant, so the strategy he formulated before the game was to rely on the topspin ball to play steadily and look for opportunities in the stalemate.

"It's time to compete with patience!" Li Hengze sighed secretly in his heart, and then thought: "If Zhang Guan chooses to go online, it will be even better." The style of play in front of the net is not suitable for clay at all, and even Sampras, the grandmaster of the play in front of the net, cannot win a Grand Slam title at the French Open. ”

Zhang Guan didn't rush to the net, but also used a topspin ball to fight back.

Li Hengze was already prepared this time, he knew that Zhang Guan's topspin ball spins very hard, and the bounce will be relatively high, so he specially raised his arm to swing the racket, and this time he chose the same attack direction as the previous blow.

"The ball landed on the same spot as the previous one, it's an opportunity!" Zhang Guan's body suddenly took a few steps forward, and he wanted to advance the receiving point and make an offensive and defensive transition.

However, this action was mistaken by Li Hengze for Zhang Guan's intention to use the net front play.

"Is Zhang Guan going online? He really couldn't bear to use the front of the net to attack, and it looks like he is going to win this time...... Hey? How did it stop? ”

Although Zhang Guan took two small steps forward, he did not come to the net, but slid after entering the baseline, and then hit the tennis ball with a forehand, turning defense into attack.

In order to pursue a quick offensive and defensive conversion, Zhang Guan did not add topspin, but directly used a flat shot, but the effect was very good, Li Hengze obviously did not expect Zhang Guan to run quickly at this moment and then suddenly switch offense and defense, and his return ball under the panic seemed very qualityless.

Zhang Guan directly pumped the ball directly to Lee Hyung-taek's gap and easily won the ball. The score was 0-15, and Zhang Guan temporarily took the lead.

There was a round of applause at the scene, Zhang Guan's sudden attack like an offensive and defensive conversion was obviously not expected by the audience, in everyone's opinion, Zhang Guan's handling of this ball was very exciting, and he played a very gorgeous counterattack.

However, in the barbecue restaurant in South Korea, the diners have an incredible look on their faces.

"What's going on? This is Lee Hyung-taek's serve, didn't the commentator just say that Lee Hyung-taek was going to launch a counterattack? Isn't there a stormy offensive? Why did you concede the ball as soon as you came up? (To be continued.) )
