Chapter 122: Corridor Battle
"Your body is so good...... Nadal wiped his sweat and looked at Fan Ju who had just come off the training equipment, and even he had to envy Fan Ju's body.
"You're not bad, you're a marathon runner." Fan Ju was also polite, thirsty, and praised Nadal in front of him.
The early training is here, and the two of them have open training activities today, but these open training sessions are not so much training as a show, but this show has no singing, dancing and music, and some are just two tennis players performing their skills and showing some tennis training subjects that ordinary people can't touch.
They went back to the room, freshened up, and after breakfast came out again, it was already half past eight, and the open visit training at 9 o'clock lasted for two hours, in addition to the fans who could not come forward to disturb the training of the players, they could visit and watch by themselves, without any tickets and fees, this kind of activity will attract a lot of people, especially those parents who are interested in tennis, will take their children to see how professional players train, and cultivate their interest in tennis.
"There are still so many reporters, and it's going to be trouble again." There were a lot of long guns and short cannons outside the training ground, and Fan Ju found a few familiar faces among them, and the "believers" he didn't want to see the most were also mixed in, and it seemed that the team had grown a lot.
I was born to be useful, with a long gun and a short cannon, Fan Ju found that his flexible athleticism finally played his due role, in the crowd, listening to those questions without answering, anyway, Fan Ju didn't think that those words about IMG and France Sport could change anything, anyway, there will be a result in the end, but when it will drag on, it is difficult to say whether the game can end before it starts.
"Oh!" Seeing Nadal on the court, Fan Ju still smiled and said hello, hello in Spanish sounded more lively, compared to the rigid hello, or HI, the tail note of the back raised is more playful.
"Let's get started, what are we going to train? Why don't you have a bottom-line fight first? Nadal is also very excited, although he has not recovered yet, but he is also very happy to play against Fan Ju on the court.
Khan, is this kid going to fight seriously? Fan Ju shook his head when he noticed that Nadal's mention had nothing to do with training.
"Let's do a corridor training first, you should know, right?" Fan Ju remembered a very interesting training exercise, which he often did when he practiced playing the return ball, and controlled the position of the return ball in the 131-centimeter-wide doubles boundary corridor, which is a training program that requires extremely high control of the force.
Nadal nodded, this kind of fight is also quite interesting, especially when his opponent is not weak, and the difficulty of controlling the ball inside the corridor will become higher.
The two of them stand at both ends of the court, and the position of the corridor training shot can only be kept outside the back court, and the ball can only hit the return ball over the court.
Because it is an open training, the training of the two people has a special person to explain to the audience on the side, otherwise it is just two people fighting in the corridor, and they don't understand and think it is an ordinary warm-up ceremony.
The organizing committee of the tournament was very considerate and found a live commentator who knew a lot about tennis, and he told the audience about the difficulty and purpose of the corridor training one by one.
"Oh, they started, Fan Ju's downspin is beautiful, oh, Rafael's cutting ball is also great, Fan Ju's forehand flat pump, oh, out of bounds, Nadal returns the ball, also out of bounds, Nadal 1 point, Fan Ju 1 point."
Open training is not like a game, which requires a very quiet environment, on the contrary, open training is the same as ordinary training, there will be no silence around you so that you can concentrate on it, there are many external factors that interfere with the players, and to be able to maintain a high level of return under such interference, this is the time to really test your skills.
Returning the ball out of bounds doesn't stop the drill, except for one side that doesn't catch the ball or hits the net, and this training will continue.
Fan Ju just hit a ball out of bounds, it was not unintentional, Nadal's spinning and cutting were not weaker than his own at all, and he saw that his opponent was indeed a natural spinning ball master.
Hit the return ball out of bounds, and was hit back again by Nadal, this time Nadal used a force topspin, the ball speed is very fast, but the landing point is not very good, obviously Fan Ju's power ball is not easy to catch, and it is very difficult to control zhì in the boundary.
"Great, let's give a round of applause to the two young players." The pace of practice on the court became faster and faster, and in the end it was too late to score, so he had to change his strategy and let the audience use encouragement to find some rhythm.
The speed of the two people on the sidelines is getting faster and faster, and the strong topspin ball is one ball after another, Fan Ju feels the pressure, and Nadal is also aware of this, both of them know that the person on the opposite side is powerful, and if the power and rotation are slightly insufficient, they will be suppressed in reverse.
Because it is only limited to the range of 1.3 meters, both sides do not have to worry about their own movement at all, and use their forehands to exert force, and each ball almost has a speed of up to 150 kilometers per hour.
This is completely different from ordinary corridor exercises, as a project of control training, the corridor practice return speed is usually only 90-120 kilometers, and 150 kilometers of forehand power, but rarely seen, let alone this kind of continuous high-speed return, no wonder even the host on the sidelines can't explain, it's too fast.
Even if he didn't explain, the children brought by the audience and parents all looked at it with a light in their eyes, as if they had seen something incredible.
"Double the speed!" Suddenly, Fan Ju entered the state of double speed, and the original extremely fast action slowed down, a diagonal side, the body and the racket swung out along an arc, the movement was very stretched and smooth, without any feeling of condensation, it was the legendary angel strike.
Nadal suddenly felt that something was wrong with Fan Ju's hitting action on the opposite side, and he subconsciously took a step back to the backcourt, leaving what he thought was enough cushion space, but he didn't expect where Fan Ju would land.
"Bang!" The sound of the shot is very soft, but this does not mean that the ball speed will be slow, and the perfect hit to the center of the racket allows the whole ball to perfectly remove the power when it flies, and convert the power into the power of the counterattack again.
The landing was so deep that Nadal hurriedly took a big step back, bounced high, and by the time Nadal was able to hit the ball, he had almost reached the position of his shoulder.
Hitting the corner of the right boundary with precision, the high-speed topspin force not only brings a high-speed and flat flight line and a sudden drop after crossing the net, but also has a very high bounce speed and height on the clay, which is enough to cause the average player to return the ball out of bounds.
"Don't think about it!" With a loud shout, Fan Ju understood the meaning of Nadal's words in Spanish, and many viewers still didn't understand what was happening, but Fan Ju could see it clearly.
His topspin just now was very beautiful, and the ball continued to fly outside after bouncing, although Nadal was able to receive the ball, but in the face of such a force, Fan Ju found it hard to believe that he could hit the ball from the front of the net to the court again.
This is the confidence in the ball he just had, and it is also a fatal blow made by Fan Ju after understanding the spinning ball, but Nadal is not giving up, this kid is born a stubborn cow, even if he is full of injuries, he has to rush forward two more steps before he is willing to fall.
It was not convenient to hit the ball with an over-the-shoulder racket, but Nadal did, and he didn't have time to think too much about it when he stopped the ball, and the ball flew off the racket with a lot of power, with a strong force of sidespin and downspin.
Fan Ju stared at the ball stubbornly, he could see very clearly that when the ball left the racket, the ball did not fly towards the net, it seemed to fly outward in the air, but when you thought it was going to fly away from the court like this, it suddenly changed direction in the air!
"Curveball!" The arc rotated quickly, and Fan Ju subconsciously went to catch the ball, but the ball landed very close to the inside, and after bypassing the ball post, the curve of the ball in the air even crossed the corridor of one meter and three wide.
Landing at the depth of three-quarters of the Fan Ju Stadium, the ball was solidly hit into the bounds from outside the bounds, and the angle after bounce was even weird and reversed, and even Fan Ju, who was in double speed, almost misjudged the direction.
"Damn it!" Nadal shouted dissatisfiedly, he used the power of this ball too much, it should have landed in the corridor, but it went into the corridor, if it was in the game, such a return was definitely a beautiful return in bounds, but this is the corridor training, the ball is out of bounds outside the corridor.
Fan Ju still took the ball back, but the sweat on his head gushed out, and he found that he still underestimated the kid in front of him, and this kind of return ball couldn't be hit at all without the top instant explosiveness.
He can play on his own, but at least at three times the speed, because the strength and burst are still slightly lacking, and it may be difficult to return the ball back to the bounds at twice the speed, but Nadal actually did it, in a training session, even if he burst out with all his strength, but after all, he did it!
"Mom, what's going on with that ball just now? Why do you turn in the air? The curious child tugged at his mother's sleeve for an answer, but the mother apparently didn't know how to answer, she knew it was due to the force of the rotation, but she had never seen such a strong rotation before.
The development of rackets has allowed tennis balls to spin and speed faster on the court, and in the last era such balls could only be seen in legends, but with the rise of a new generation of players, this technology will become a real picture on the court.
Curveballs? Snake balls? Sidespin shots with strong downspin? The commentary on the sidelines and the audience are difficult to explain what they saw, only the two people on the field know what the ball is going on just now, this is the pinnacle of the showdown, the battle of the future spinning kings!
**************
There is a final chapter for the public tomorrow morning, and after it will be on the shelves in the afternoon, the monthly pass, the first order, everyone understands!
