Chapter 26: Catching the Ball and Surfing the Internet (2nd Update)

β€œ15-0!” γ€β€œ30-0! β€γ€β€œ40-0! ”。

Nalbandian watched the score come to 40-0, and Zhang Guan's three consecutive serves at the net made Nalbandian lose three goals in a row.

"I hate this kind of guy who serves to the net the most!" Nalbandian stared at the opposite side, only to see that Zhang Guan had already sent the fourth ball. In this ball, Zhang Guan still hit Nalbandian's backhand.

"I'm not going to let you go online so easily!" Nalbandian's eyes fell on Zhang's half, and then shot back at a tricky angle.

"The angle of this ball, unless it is a very experienced player, it is impossible to judge!" Nalbandian looked at Zhang Guan opposite with confidence, but found that Zhang Guan was running in the direction of the tennis ball's flight, and then slapped it on the ball.

"What? He was right! There was a look of wonder in Nalbandian's eyes, and when he just hit back, he could adjust the angle of the racket, in order to make the return more hidden, but Zhang Guan still accurately judged the path of the ball.

"Blinded by him!" Nalbandian shook his racket in annoyance, and then quickly adjusted his emotions.

"It's okay if you don't finish the break, there will be a chance later, but then it's my serve, continue to play against your backhand like in the first set, you can't win my two-handed backhand with your one-handed backhand!" Nalbandian thought confidently.

In the third game of the battle, Nalbandian began to serve.

"Drink!" This time Nalbandian looked hard, and he couldn't help but scream as he served.

As in the first game, Zhang Guan's one-handed backhand return ball landed in a decent manner, while Nalbandian used his two-handed backhand strong line-changing ability to start mobilizing Zhang Guan, and this time. Nalbandian opted for a more marginal landing point up front.

Zhang Guan ran directly from the back to the front, completed the return of the ball, and quickly retreated towards the halfway line.

"This time I will move you to the backcourt, and then the next ball will come with a diagonal line, see how you take it!" Nalbandian had already thought of what to do next.

However, at this time, Zhang Guan ran towards the front.

"Huh? Is this to go online? How do you catch a ball and go to the net? But this is not a good opportunity to surf the Internet, if you force it to go online, it will be very difficult, do you think you are Sampras! Nalbandi thought with disdain.

With Sampras' retirement, there are fewer and fewer net-type players. There are even fewer excellent players, and most players choose a baseline type of play, such as Federer's gorgeous baseline attack and Nadal's solid baseline defense, including Nalbandian, who is a baseline player.

The difficulty of this ball on the net, if it was placed ten years ago, when there were many net-type players, there might still be people who could successfully complete the net-volley, but today, I am afraid that no one can complete the net-volley.

"A rookie after all. I can't tell the situation at all, this ball obviously can't go online, stupid! Nalbandian snorted coldly, and at this time. In Nalbandian's pupils, Zhang Guan's volley action was reflected.

"Whoosh!" The tennis ball flashed through and went straight to Nalbandian's gap.

In the next second, the tennis ball was just pressed on the changing line. And then popped out of bounds!

0-15, Zhang Guan took the lead to win a goal.

……

"Zhang Guan actually succeeded! This was obviously not an opportunity to intercept online, but he actually succeeded! Nalbandian looked at where the tennis ball had landed. Think back to the process just now.

"The ball hit the touchline, it almost went out of bounds, so it looked like a balloon." Nalbandian suddenly relaxed a lot and started to serve again.

After the two sides held each other for a few beats, I saw Zhang Guan rushing to the net again.

"Internet again? How could he have made such a choice, this ball should not be on the net. It's naΓ―ve, you were lucky just now, do you think your luck will always be good? ”

However, the tennis ball flew into Nalbandian's space again, hit the touchline again, and bounced off.

"Luck? No, one success may be a coincidence, but if it succeeds twice in a row......" Nalbandian thought of one possibility, but the next moment, he himself vetoed it.

"It's impossible, the kind of ball just now, I'm afraid that only the level of the ball king Sampsas in front of the net can successfully complete the net volley, Federer can't do it, and Zhang Guan can't do it. If Zhang Guan had Sampras's skills in front of the net, I wouldn't have to fight, just admit defeat! It seems that Zhang Guan's luck today is really against the sky. ”

Nalbandian continued to adjust his mentality and delivered his third goal.

The two held each other for a few beats again, and Zhang Guan ran to the front court from the bottom line again.

"Coming back? Do you really think you can succeed every time? This ball is Sampras himself, but it is impossible to complete the volley in front of the net! Although Nalbandian thought so, he watched Zhang Guan's every movement very cautiously.

Zhang Guan did not run to the net this time, but stopped just in the front court, and chose to return the ball in the front court.

"It turned out to be just a return ball in front of the court." Nalbandian ran a few steps, and then subconsciously cut a diagonal line.

At this time, Zhang Guan moved, and once again volleyed on the Internet.

"Zhang Guan's online volley? It's a good time to go online this time! Wait a minute! That return ball he just had! Nalbandian suddenly remembered Zhang Guan's action of catching the ball in the front court, and suddenly understood.

Zhang Guan ran to the front court to receive the ball, the purpose was to create an opportunity to volley in front of the net! He expected me to return the slash ball! Catching the ball in the front court to create volley opportunities is completely a front-court technical style of play, and only front-of-net players will use this style of play. Nalbandian is also well-informed, and instantly recognized that Zhang Guan is currently using the style of play of a front-of-the-net player.

"Zhang Guan's serve just now used the way of serving to the net, and in my serve, he has been creating opportunities to the net, and it can't be wrong, this is exactly the way a player plays in front of the net. What's going on? Isn't Zhang Guan a bottom-line player? This is completely incompatible with the technology that Zhang Guan showed before! ”

Against Grosjean, Zhang Guan showed two new techniques, Federer's signature topspin and Nadal's spin, which were seen by Nalbandian.

Federer's signature topspin serve, the follow-up is mainly a baseline confrontation, and Nadal's rotation is also a bottom-line technique. Both Federer and Nadal are spin-minded athletes, so they're both bottom-line players.

The technique in front of the net is mainly based on small balls and flat hits, paying attention to short, flat and fast, and it is impossible to play a strong spinning ball in front of the net, so in terms of ball style, the bottom line technology and the front of the net are incompatible. Baseline players also use the net, but they create opportunities to volley through the baseline technique, rather than through the pre-net technique and the pre-net play.

Any tennis player has his own unique style of play, has his own style of play, and in the game, players also play to their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and maximize their strengths as much as possible. Zhang Guan's serving and receiving in the match against Grosjean is obviously a baseline technique, so it is natural for Nalbandian to think that Zhang Guan is a baseline player, and Zhang Guan was indeed a baseline player before learning Sampras's experience. But now that Zhang Guan has learned from Sampilas's experience, he has the experience and ability to play in front of the net, and of course he can use the pre-net play.

In Nalbandian's view, such a situation is clearly impossible. No player can have two incompatible styles of play and style of play at the same time, and even Federer, who is known as flawless, cannot do so. And the newcomer Zhang Guan in the eyes of Nalbandian is even more unlikely.

But Nalbandian will never understand that he is facing an all-round athlete. (To be continued.) )
