Chapter 103: Consecutive Aces

Zhang Guan's ace ball instantly detonated the audience, if Sharapova or Li Na sent an ace ball, the audience would definitely not be surprised, but Zhang Guan, a non-tennis professional player, actually sent an ace ball, which brought a different feeling to the audience.

Sharapova silently looked back at Zhang Guan, and thought to herself: "I haven't seen him for more than half a year, but his serve has improved again!" I remember when I first started learning, his serve was more than 190 kilometers, but the ball just now must have been more than 200 kilometers! Among the professional players in the ATP, it can be regarded as a top serve! ”

Next, the serve was still in Zhang's hands, and he began to serve for the second time.

"It must have been a coincidence! Zhang Guan, a track and field athlete, how could he send such a high-level serve! You have to catch this ball well, otherwise it will be too ugly to see if you fall behind 0-3 as soon as you come up. Li Na thought silently, and at the same time prepared to catch the ball.

"Whoosh!" Another yellow light flashed, and the angle was even more tricky than just now, Li Na immediately stretched out the shot, but it was a step too late. The tennis ball has leapt over her receiving range.

Another ace ball!

Li Na opened his mouth slightly, but did not speak, although this field does not have an eagle eye system, it is impossible to calculate the ball speed, but Li Na still judged that Zhang Guan's serve this time, the ball speed is still more than 200 kilometers per hour.

It is also not an easy task for a professional male tennis player to send a ball at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour. Serving twice in a row with a speed of more than 200 km/h is not guaranteed that even those at the top of the ATP rankings will be able to do it.

"Two consecutive serves of more than 200 kilometers per hour, even if it is a coincidence, it is impossible to do it without a certain strength base. It seems that I underestimated Zhang Guan before, and he is certainly not a rookie in tennis. At least the serve is at the level of a professional player. Li Na thought silently, and at the same time, her expression became serious.

"You also want me to let Zhang Guan, this serve is better than me!" Jiang Shan thought silently, and at the same time he also noticed the change in Li Na, although the couple had just gotten married at the beginning of this year, they had known each other for many years. Jiang Shan knew Li Na's character of not admitting defeat very well, and at this time he knew that Li Na was about to start getting serious.

Next it was Lee's turn to serve, and it was Zhang Guan who received the ball. So Li Na chose a more extreme serve.

Now Li Na is not as sharp as he was later in terms of serving, and can only be regarded as the average level of a world-class female professional player. As for Zhang Guan, at the beginning of his learning tennis, he faced Sharapova, who was known for her sharp serve and fierce play, and was abused a lot by Sharapova, Zhang Guan naturally has the ability to receive some extreme serves.

So this one of Lee's serves. Zhang Guan took it relatively easily, and he even added a little topspin when returning the ball. However, for professional athletes, Zhang Guan's return can be said to be a bit bad, because Zhang Guan's return point is very bad.

Although the skills of the system can bring skills to Zhang Guan, they cannot bring experience to the competition. For professional tennis players, it is essential to understand and study the technical characteristics of their opponents before a match, at least to know what they are good at and what they are not good at. Then attack on your opponent's weaknesses in the game, while trying to avoid playing to your opponent's strengths.

Now Li Na's technical characteristic is that he has a strong forehand return. Zhang Guan's return ball happened to Li Na's forehand position, so that Li Na could play his strengths well, so he saw Li Na's forehand wave, and the tennis ball drew an extremely tricky angle to get back a point.

After winning this point, Li Na breathed a sigh of relief: "Zhang Guan is really still a rookie." Although the ball came back, the landing point was very poor, and the choice of this landing point in the game was to give away points. The perverted serve just now really scared me, and I thought I had met a strong player at the Grand Slam level! ”

The next ball was still Lee's serve. Zhang Guan's return point selection was the same as the last time, and Li Na scored another point in the same way, and the score was pulled to 2-3.

Sharapova was not surprised by the result of losing two points in a row, but felt that it was normal. Zhang Guan didn't have any experience in competitions, and he usually looked pretty good when he practiced, but when it came to the real competition, when he faced a professional player, he immediately showed his original form, and Sharapova had already guessed that there would be such a result.

The next two balls were served by Sharapova.

Considering that this is just a charity exhibition match, Sharapova's first ball is relatively ordinary, and Jiang Shan's reception is relatively easy, and then Sharapova deliberately slowed down some of the return speed, which is equivalent to creating an opportunity for Li Na to volley in front of the net, and Li Na did not waste this opportunity, and scored another point with a volley in front of the net.

Li Na's performance just now has already been taken into Sharapova's eyes, as a professional tennis player, Sharapova can tell at a glance whether the opponent is serious or not.

"I've already returned the first point to you, and I'm going to play seriously next!" Sharapova took a deep breath, stabilized her emotions, and then began to serve.

"Bang!" The racket hits the tennis ball hard, and it's an American spin serve, and the spin of the ball is so great that even the best tennis players rarely try it because of the technical difficulty.

What's more important is that the angle with a ball is very tricky, which is a big test for the receiver.

Jiang Shan has been retired for several years, although he has been engaged in tennis coaching all these years, and his technical foundation is still there, but the feeling of the game has long been lost. So when Jiang Shan reacted and started to catch the ball, it was too late, and the one in front of him touched the ball, and then hit the ball out of bounds.

The score became 3-4, Li Na and Jiang Shan were still 1 point behind, and the service was returned to Jiang Shan.

Jiang Shan's first serve deliberately pursued the angle, but the first mistake did not cross the net, so Jiang Shan's second serve was much more conservative, and as a result, he lost the initiative, and then Sharapova won the point with a fierce counterattack, and the score came to 3-5.

However, in the next ball, the quality of Jiang Shan's serve was much higher, and after three rounds of stalemate, Li Na found a gap and got a point, and the score became 4-5.

Then it was time for Zhang Guanlai to serve.

Li Na looked at Zhang Guan with a wary face, and she had a hunch that Zhang Guan would send another serve with a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour. As a women's tennis player, even if she is ranked in the top 30 in the world in the WTA rankings, it is still difficult to receive a serve from a male player who is traveling at speeds of more than 200 kilometers per hour.

The racket in Zhang Guan's hand hit the tennis ball hard, and it was another powerful blow.

This time, Li Na, who was engrossed, reacted instantly, but she still underestimated Zhang Guan's serve, this time the serve was even faster than before, although Li Na made a move to catch the ball, but did not receive this ball.

"ACE!" Zhang Guan sent out three aces in a row!"

"The speed of the ball was definitely over 200 kilometers per hour! It's only been half a year, why has the serving speed increased so much, is it because the arm strength has become stronger? Sharapova looked at Zhang Guan a little inexplicably, but she was constantly wondering when sprinters need to train their arm strength.

At this time, Li Na was a little angry, and was hit by a track and field athlete for three aces in a row, Li Na felt a little aggrieved, and her competitiveness made her more serious.

"It's just an exhibition game, don't take it too seriously." Jiang Shan's voice suddenly sounded from beside him, and Li Na realized that Jiang Shan had come to her unconsciously.

Li Na was slightly stunned, and then felt that he was indeed a little too serious, this was just a charity exhibition match, not an official competition, why should he pay so much attention to the victory or defeat.

Now Li Na is already a regular in the round of 16 of the Grand Slam, and it can be said that she has already proved herself through the results of the competition, and no one would think that Li Na would lose to an amateur. In a charity exhibition match like this, even if Li Na loses, people will think that Li Na deliberately let Zhang Guan.

After figuring this out, Li Na's competitive spirit disappeared without a trace in an instant, and she suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and at the same time, Zhang Guan also began to serve.

"Whoosh!" Zhang Guan's serve was as fast as ever, but this time, Li Na successfully received the ball.

If you are a professional athlete, the serve in the game will be constantly changing, and if you serve the same way every time, even if it is a good serve, you will gradually be adapted to by your opponent. Zhang Guan obviously has no experience in this area, although his serve is fast, but every serve is the same, and Li Na has caught the pattern and made a successful return.

"Okay, finally got it!" There was a hint of joy in Li's expression, but the next moment, the joy disappeared without a trace.

Sharapova had already rushed over, a topspin ball was brought up at a good angle and an excellent landing position, Jiang Shan's return ball suddenly made a mistake, and the tennis ball was blocked in the net.

The score is 7-4 and the game is over! Zhang Guan and Sharapova's side won the exhibition match.

……

The exhibition match in this game ended relatively quickly, and there was no long plate of players holding back and forth during the game, especially Zhang Guan's three ace balls, which greatly accelerated the process of the game, but the audience did not feel disappointed.

What Zhang Guan didn't expect was that although it was only an exhibition game, the organizers still arranged a medal ceremony, which was not notified before the game.

I saw the award presenter come over with a smile on his face and send a certificate-like thing to Zhang Guan.

"What is this?" Zhang Guan thought in surprise. (To be continued.) )
