Chapter 128: Stadium Metronome
Andaria is very unaccustomed to Fan Ju's high-quality serve, he is not a master of serving, but he can also play 2-4 aces in a game, but he and Fan Ju played the middle of the second set, and the score was bitten by the opponent.
There is a lack of pressure on serve, and on slow clay courts, it is difficult to play a quick and direct effective attack.
In the top professional tennis game, when you swing the racket or even before you swing the racket, you have to know how you should play the next ball, how to run, the time between the hard court and the next ball is only a short less than 2 seconds, you have no time to hesitate, only run, hit, counterattack, and run again until the end of this ball!
The speed of the ball on clay is slower than on hard courts, but it only stretches from 2 seconds to 3 seconds, and there is still no time to hesitate.
Fan Ju is very good at pressing the ball quickly, further speeding up this rhythm, if he can play a 1.5-second offensive round, he will definitely not give the opponent 2 seconds to prepare, the oppressive attack, so that he has a very advantage over opponents below his own level, and when the opponent is equal to his own strength, it is easy to have the problem of frequent out of bounds and under the net.
In this game, Fan Ju worked very hard, only a small part of the time used double speed assist, the second set he played so far is not easy, the opponent desperately wants to fight back, but Fan Ju can not let the opponent succeed.
It's not easy, Fan Ju first broke serve, and then was broken by the opponent, this situation is very common in the game, Fan Ju will not adapt to it at first, but more and more games are more and more accustomed to such ups and downs.
It is impossible for both sides to remain at their peak all the time, and a single negligence or consecutive service errors can easily lead to the consequences of losing the service game. But the only thing to do at this time is not to panic and take advantage of the opponent's break. Give a quick counterattack and hit a break in this state. It's easier to break than in a stalemate.
Fan Ju wanted to hold serve and then win the second set, he also used his ability, but Andaria suddenly broke Fan Ju's defense with a change of rhythm, seemingly inadvertently, but after winning a point, he lost three points in a row, even if he finally recovered another point, but with three break points in his hand, Andaria played more easily. Large-angle raids are also frequent.
This kind of pressure blow is often used in the game, and he also knows what the effect of such an attack is, and he can accurately judge the direction of the shot, and the power of the shot with large angles and deep pressure is no less than that of a 170-kilometer second shot.
After losing the service game, the two returned to the same running line, of course, this is only the starting line of the second set, Fan Ju, who won the first set, has already taken the lead in the finish line, as long as Andaria still wants to win the game, even if he doesn't fight.
"Sure enough, I still hid a hand." Andaria's second set shows the mobility and offensive desire. It is completely incomparable to the first set, and Fan Ju is very glad that he did not let him take advantage of the loophole because of negligence.
The Italian spectators on stage cheered for their compatriots between games. They didn't want to see Andaria lose on their home turf, and he was the pride of the Italians back then, with many spectators even coming to watch the game for him.
There weren't many people on the field. Especially after the turmoil of Fan Ju passed, the public gradually reduced their attention. But Fan Ju still feels the pressure from away, especially when he serves. The sound of harassment from time to time made it difficult for even the referee to stop it.
"Smack!"
The serve hit the net heavily, the sound was like a slap in the face, and the speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour made the tennis ball suffer a great impact, and the whole net was hit and then shook back and forth several times before gradually stopping.
Fan Ju shook his head, he is already very accustomed to his first mistake, today's serve is not good, as soon as the ball speed goes up, it is easy to make mistakes, and the power of the second serve can only be regarded as acceptable, and he is often caught by the opponent The opportunity to counteract, which makes Fan Ju very uncomfortable.
Another second shot was played, Andaria returned the ball quickly, the ball speed was very fast, the suppression was very low, it was too late to add spin, Fan Ju could only use a light block with his backhand, Andaria's ball had a strong topspin power, and such a block could not offset the spin carried on the ball.
The ball hit the net again, and the poor net didn't know how many times it had been abused today, and the caddie quickly picked up the tennis ball rolling on the ground and ran back to his place to standby, and the game continued.
"4:4" glanced at the score, Fan Ju felt that it was not suitable to drag on any longer, although he wanted to learn from the opponent's hands, but the opponent's strength was indeed not an opponent who could win although perfunctory.
Fan Ju saw a lot of new things from Andaria's clay style of play, and also found that this player has a lot of old clay concepts, which makes it difficult for him to adapt to the increasingly high-speed court now.
If Fan Ju uses the same rhythm as him, the "one round" time of the two can even be extended to about 4 seconds, so can such a slow rhythm still adapt to the current arena?
The racket was forced, a high-speed shot from Fan Ju's hand, in order to catch the ball Andaria's body suddenly lost balance, Fan Ju looked at the direction of the ball's flight, he stood in place and did not move, with the ball landing, a high-pitched "OUT", so that Fan Ju finally won the serve again.
"High speed! Suppress! Now there is only one problem left, and sure enough, a few years of training can't be replaced by a quick course......" Fan Ju looked at his game, and he knew very well what he was still missing.
Strength and speed are things that he can continue to improve with his later training, but at a certain level, these physical abilities only allow him to ensure that he does not fall behind when fighting against the masters.
Spin and suppression, this is the reason why he can have such a good performance on the field, and the assistance of double speed is indispensable, without the ability to strengthen, the rotation of Fan Ju will not play an amazing effect, and the hitting at non-double speed is not weak, but it lacks the strength to really suppress a master like Andaria.
The game came to the end of the game, Fan raised his hand to hold a game point in the game, if he can break serve, then it means that he can directly win this game, but will the opponent give up the victory so lightly?
Andaria gasped twice and waved his arm vigorously to relax him, he felt that he was really "old", so easily forced into a corner by a young opponent, and if he didn't win the serve, he would have to lose, a match he didn't know how many times in his entire career.
"Every serve is a challenge, and the opponent won't give you a respite." Andaria knew this well and silently recited the phrase to focus more on his crucial serve.
……
"The game has come to the end of the game, Andaria serves, Fan Ju has another beautiful extension, he did not miss a serve in this game, the ability to receive is really amazing, Andaria returned the ball out of bounds, oh, no, he is appealing to the referee, the referee came down from the seat, obviously to confirm the position of the ball print." In the ESPN studio, the anchor gradually regained his feeling, and when the game came to the crucial end, the commentary language became more frequent.
The referee glanced at the ball and shook his head at Andaria regretfully, unfortunately only a quarter of the ball was out of bounds, but out of bounds is out of bounds, whether it is in the opponent's home stadium or not, this is a reality that cannot be changed.
“…… Lost? Andaria was discouraged when he got the answer, and Fan Ju once again burst out in the final game of the match with his ability to suddenly change the pace, too fast and too accurate, this state is difficult to describe, as if his opponent suddenly changed someone.
"Congratulations." Andaria's congratulations don't sound spirited, and anyone who loses the game won't be in a good mood.
"Thank you, I hope there will be a chance to fight next time." But Fan Ju doesn't care, he is a winner, of course he has to put on a winner's posture, especially when he wins the game, and he doesn't care about the opponent's insincere congratulations.
In an important match, Fan Ju completely entered the state of double speed at the end of the game, and he has not left the state of double speed almost since the last game.
If it's a normal match, you might not be able to last even a single set of the ability with this use, but don't forget that Fan Ju spent most of the game in a normal state, and the ability was only used for a short time.
However, this kind of game also found a benefit, the opponent will adjust his own rhythm in the non-ability state, and when he suddenly uses the full ability, the pace of the game will be slower for himself, but his opponent's rhythm will become completely unfamiliar.
Stronger shots, bigger angles, even a slight change in the way you anticipate speed, run and hit the ball, and if it's at the beginning, there's still time to adjust slowly, but what about the crucial times at the end of the set and the end of the game?
Fan Ju clearly felt the opponent's scramble and discomfort with the changed ball path, which made it easy for him to get the advantage of the shutdown score, even easier than a normal break.
"You can use this trick slightly stronger than yourself, but if you are too strong, you can only use the double speed state more." Fan Ju calculated the gap and roughly estimated the strength after the change.
It's not a chicken rib.,A small amount of use of ability in the game,Use this trick to ensure the victory of the game.,Don't use it against the master.,But occasionally it can be used as a weapon to adjust the rhythm.,Sometimes the sudden slowdown will also have a certain effect.,When the opponent adapts,And then change back to the original fast pace.,This may make the opponent mistakenly think that Fan Ju has fallen into a low ebb.,Take the initiative to lead the snake out of the hole.,Find a chance to break the game!
