Chapter 64: One Move to Dominate the Sky
Of course, ESPN will also broadcast the final of the Australian Open live, and their guest commentator is Sampras.
At this time, the live broadcast screen was playing the high-pressure ball that Zhang Guan had just jumped horizontally in slow motion.
"I read it right just now, Zhang Guan really used my trick! In this world, besides me, there is a second person who will use this trick! When did Zhang Guan learn? Sampras looked surprised, and he didn't continue to speak, as if he had forgotten that he was the guest commentator for the game.
Sampras and Zhang Guansu have never met, and although they are both celebrities, they know each other through news reports. When Zhang Guan used the pre-net style of play before, Sampras began to pay attention to Zhang Guan. First, the players who use the pre-net style of play are almost extinct in recent years, and the second is that Zhang Guan's pre-net style of play makes Sampras feel very familiar, and Sampras even feels like he is playing on the court.
And now, this trick used by Zhang Guan is Sampras's unique stunt, which is like a Shaolin monk playing an authentic set of Tai Chi in front of Zhang Sanfeng.
"The whole action, Zhang Guan executed it very smoothly, and he should have used this trick very skillfully." Sampras knows very well that it is difficult to jump horizontally or vertically in this kind of movement, first of all, the player needs to have a certain amount of physical talent, secondly, the player must have good technique, and most importantly, the player must know how to choose the best timing, because the tennis ball flies very fast, and the player must choose the most appropriate time to jump in order to successfully intercept the ball in mid-air.
In the broadcast screen, Zhang Guan's smash appeared again, but Sampras's brows became tighter and tighter.
"What a great bounce! Zhang Guan's bounce speed and bounce height are much stronger than when I was younger, and this move is indeed more powerful in Zhang Guan's hands. Sampras sighed to himself.
……
"Beautiful! Zhang Guan seized the opportunity. Finished breaking! Zhang Guan leads Federer 1-0! The commentator of the central electricity shouted excitedly, and then he said: "Director Su, Zhang Guan's action just now looks like a smash in badminton!" ”
"That's right, this kind of action of jumping up a high-pressure ball in the movement is indeed very similar to a smash in badminton. But this set of moves is more difficult than the badminton smash. First of all, the speed of tennis is faster than that of badminton, because the resistance of badminton in the air is relatively large, so the badminton is slower and slower, and when the badminton flies to the opponent's half, the speed is definitely not as fast as the tennis ball; The second is that the tennis ball is a sphere, it rotates in the air, and the difficulty of catching the ball is relatively higher. Director Su paused, and then said: "Actually, the kind of smash action just now is very difficult to complete in tennis. There are two key difficulties in completing this set of actions perfectly. ”
"What are the two key difficulties?" The narrator asked very cooperatively.
"The first difficulty is to grasp the timing, this jumping up to catch the ball is not just as simple as jumping, we all know that the speed of tennis is very fast, so athletes not only need to jump, but also need to be able to stop the tennis ball, jump early or late, it is not good; The second difficulty is the athlete's physical coordination. When the human body is in the air, there is no point of focus. At this time, to complete a shot, you need to have a good coordination of the body, and the athlete with poor coordination, although the person jumps, but the poor completion of the technical action, still cannot be converted into a score. ”
Of course, these two points are not actually difficult for Zhang Guan. After all, Zhang Guan is the holder of the Asian long jump record, and his jumping ability is the best in the world, and the long jump is also a sport that requires a lot of body coordination, and he needs to make movements in the air during the long jump, so Zhang Guan's coordination is no problem. Su Gui explained.
The narrator nodded: "I see. It's no wonder I rarely see athletes using this technique in competitions. ”
"Yes, as far as I know, this technique is the unique skill of Sampras, the champion of the previous generation, and no athlete has used it since Sampras retired." Su was worried that the general audience would not know who Sampras was, so he went on to explain: "Sampras is the king of the ball before Federer, with 14 Grand Slam titles in his hands, more than Federer now." ”
……
Federer has been getting slower and slower in recent years, and he has been broken in the first game several times, but each time Federer has always been able to recover the score or even overtake in the later games.
But the ball just now, the technique used by Zhang Guan to jump horizontally with a high-pressure ball while moving, invisibly put a lot of pressure on Federer.
"Zhang Guan was able to master this technique. Zhang Guan's height is more than 190 cm, and he has a congenital advantage in playing high ball, and I heard that Zhang Guan is still a long jump champion, as if last year's best long jump result was created by Zhang Guan, which means that his bounce is the world's top, so as long as Zhang Guan can grasp the timing of jumping, it is easy to hit a high-pressure ball. Federer shook his head silently: "The last ball of the last game, I took it for granted, or I shouldn't put the ball too high, just with this trick, I definitely can't compare to him in terms of air dominance, it seems that the 'air supremacy' of this game, I have to take the initiative to give up." ”
"The moving jumping high-pressure ball, Zhang Guan can be regarded as showing a new 'weapon'! Sure enough, as I expected before the game, Zhang Guan really still has unknown means that have not been used, and I can't be careless in the next game. Federer secretly looked at Zhang Guan not far away, and then thought: "Now it's Zhang Guan's turn to serve, according to the information I collected before the match, Zhang Guan's serve is still relatively changeable, the kind of high-speed serve of more than 230 kilometers, I will definitely not be able to catch it." In addition, Zhang Guan's serve net level is also very good, I have to give it my all! ”
……
On the other side, Zhang Guan is also summarizing the gains and losses of the previous game.
"There was a bit of luck in winning the first game, Federer was a little slow to heat up at the beginning of the game, and it is estimated that the game will get more and more intense, and Federer's form will definitely get better and better. Next, my service game is as fast as possible, let Federer hold the ball less, and his form will be slower! ”
Thinking of this, Zhang Guan got up and walked onto the field.
The second game between the two sides is about to begin, and this time it is Zhang Guan's turn to serve. (To be continued.) )
