Chapter 22: Final 1

The rules of the mixed doubles competition are the same as those of doubles, with a change of side and a change of serve.

In the first game, Su Nian served first, Jiang Yungu received Su Nian's serve, Jiang Yungu made it short first, Jing Xing saw the opportunity to pick up directly, and accepted the first point of the opening game.

In the second ball, Jiang Yungu didn't give Jing Xing another chance to pick up, and directly used twisting and pulling to catch Su Nian's serve and get back a point.

Changed Jiang Yungu's serve, the ball has not been sent out, but I didn't expect the referee to directly award two points and warn Jiang Yungu's serve, Jiang Yungu didn't understand, and said a few words to the referee, but he didn't get the result.

The referee of this match is Indian, with a strong curry flavor in his accent, and it may be his first warning Jiang Yungu did not understand, so he did not adjust his serve posture in time and was awarded two penalty points.

So he changed the scene to serve, Zhao Yuan twisted and pulled directly, Su Nian didn't judge the spin, and returned the ball out of bounds.

In the second ball, Su Nian was ready for Zhao Yuan's twisting and pulling, pulled sideways, Jiang Yungu pulled the ball back, the ball wiped the net high, Jing Xing quickly started a second time, smashed and scored, and the score was 4:2.

Zhao Yuan's service round, one of the two balls was Jing Xing's eagerness to exert force, causing it to go out of bounds, and the other was that the connection did not keep up, and the score was tied.

Coming to Su Nian's serving round again, Jiang Yungu directly picked, Jing Xing predicted Jiang Yungu's pick in advance, turned sideways directly, pulled a large angle of oblique, scored on one board, and on the second ball, Jiang Yungu saw that Jing Xing was ready to turn sideways again, picked a straight line, and the score was tied again.

Changing Jiang Yungu's serve, she seemed to be a little nervous because of the previous two serve penalties, Jing Xing twisted and pulled, twisting and pulling is the most commonly used receiving technique and tactic in mixed doubles matches, Zhao Yuan returned a straight line, Su Nian pulled a big slash sideways, Jiang Yungu used his superior arm length to save the ball back and overtake the score.

This ball affected Jing Xing, he was a little cautious in his hair, swung back gently, and pulled the ball after adding quality to the next board, causing Su Nian to make a mistake. The main difficulty in mixed doubles is that the female player catches the ball of the opposing male player, once the male player of the opposing team does not control it well, and the male player of the opposing team pulls the ball up first, it will cause a lot of pressure on the female athlete of the other side, and this ball is typical.

Changing the scenery to serve, Su Nian gestured under the table to send a downspin ball, Jing Xing was clear, after serving, Zhao Yuan twisted and pulled to the middle position, Su Nian saw the opportunity and turned sideways directly to pull back a point.

On the second serve, Jiang Yungu and Zhao Yuan diverted Su Nian and Jing Xing through two straight balls and scored again. The score of this ball is because the return is an advantageous round in the doubles, and the Jiang Yuan combination can start first by receiving the serve and transferring Su Nian and Jing Xing.

Changing Su Nian to receive the serve, she thought for a while, turned around and covered her face with a racket and said a word to Jing Xing, and then changed the original tactics of picking and receiving, and added a little spin to rub the ball back, Jiang Yungu didn't judge it, or chose to pick up, causing the ball to hang on the net.

In the second goal, Su Nian repeated his old tricks again, Jiang Yungu changed to twist and pull to catch the ball, and the ball went out of bounds to tie the score.

Su Nian served, when it came to the key point, several people didn't dare to exert their strength, and swung back a few boards, Su Nian pulled the ball hard, the ball hung up on the net, the score was 8:9, Su Nian was a little annoyed that he didn't pull the ball, and stomped his foot.

Jing Xing relieved Su Nian's pressure and directly twisted and pulled, causing Zhao Yuan to return the ball out of bounds, and the score was tied again.

At this time, there was a sound of cheering for Jiang Yungu and Zhao Yuan from the sidelines, because they had played international matches a few years earlier than Su Nian and Jing Xing, they already had stable fans.

It was Jiang Yungu's turn to serve, Zhao Yuan made a gesture, Jiang Yungu looked at it and nodded, Jing Xing swung back, Zhao Yuan directly pulled the ball up with his forehand, Su Nian returned a small backhand triangle, and the landing point was already very tricky, but Jiang Yungu seemed to be prepared, and directly pulled sideways, the force of the ball was very great, Jing Xing made a mistake in returning the ball, and Jiang Zhao got the first game point of the game.

The second ball, Su Nian and Jing Xing are ready for a multi-board round, the two of them use the repeated drop point to mobilize the position of Jiang Zhao and the two together, causing the opponent's return to the ball to make a mistake, the score came to 10:10, repeated drop point is a very useful tactic in doubles, but the implementation requires two people to have a fairly strong tacit understanding, and this is the first time Su Nian and Jing Xing cooperated.

This wonderful ball caused a round of applause from the sidelines, and the audience who did not know the Chinese players were applauding this wonderful ball.

Changing Jingxing's serve, Jiang Yungu and Zhao Yuan also returned a repeated landing point, so that Su Nian and Jingxing's running positions were squeezed together, and they were forced to make mistakes.

After 10:10 draw, each ball will change the serve, it is Zhao Yuan's turn to serve, Su Nian gently swings back, Jing Xing followed a board with a large angle, hit Zhao Yuan's backhand bottom line, Zhao Yuan didn't have time to lead the shot, the score tied again, and came to 11:11.

The key point is that both sides are actively exchanging tactics, and at this time, it depends on whose tactics are more flexible and the partners can execute tactics more tacitly.

Su Nian served, Jiang Yungu twisted, Jing Xing saw the gap between the two people's defense, returned a straight ball, and scored another point.

Jiang Yungu served, Jing Xing twisted and pulled, Zhao Yuan suddenly accelerated back to a middle backhand, Su Nian was forced to return the ball, the ball went out of bounds, and the score was tied again.

Jiang Zhao once again used the repeated landing point to make Jing Xing's return defense make a mistake, and once again won the game point at 12:13.

Zhao Yuan served, Su Nian swung back, Jiang Yungu suddenly made a pick, so that Jing Xing had no time to react, the score was 12:14, Su Nian and Jing Xing lost the first game.

But in the first game, both sides played very well, and the score did not or even appeared more than two points apart, and it was always very tight.

After hitting the explosive score and losing the game with a slight gap of two points, Jing Xing was afraid of affecting Su Nian's mentality, so he took the initiative to take it, "Don't be afraid, you can make sure that the passive ball is on the stage, and I will deal with the next board", he is a little older than Su Nian, and he always involuntarily takes care of Su Nian on and off the court.

The second inning begins.

Jiang Yungu served first, she and Zhao Yuan summed up the technique and tactic of repeating the landing point according to the first game is very effective for Su Du and the two, and used this technique and tactic to mobilize Su Nian and Jing Xing together in the first point of the opening game, and then suddenly changed the line, so that Su Nian had no time to return to defense and won the score of two service rounds.

These two balls made Su Nian realize that the other party began to adjust her strategy, she was a little worried, and the next two serves were wrong, and Zhao Yuan scored directly with a twist, and at the beginning of the second game, Su Nian and Jing Xing fell behind 0:4.

Changing serves, Su Nian and Jing Xing also adjusted their tactics, using their sideways to deal with the opponent's diagonal large angle, and the score was leveled.

It was Jiang Yungu's turn to serve again, and she saw that Su Nian and they had found a solution, so she suddenly changed her way of serving and sent a topspin ball, Su Nian didn't judge it, and picked out the bounds.

After the ball went out of bounds, Su Nian glanced at Jing Xing, and she blamed herself a little.

Jing Xing sensed Su Nian's emotions and comforted her, "No problem, no problem, you can take it, there is no problem with you", and gave Su Nian a firm look as he spoke, but Su Nian was still affected, and hesitated in the face of the next ball sent by the other party, and did not make the first shot, causing the ball to hang up on the net.

She pulled her hair in annoyance, tilted her head and glanced at Jing Xing, her expression was full of frustration, her emotions also affected Jing Xing, she made a mistake of two points, and the score was 4:9 behind.

Jing Xing was also a little annoyed by his mistakes, but he knew that he couldn't give up, there might be no chance in this game, but he had to score a little back, and he couldn't enter the next game with a big score difference, which would seriously hit their momentum.

Next, Jing Xing first directly twisted a large bevel angle to give the opponent back the color, and then sent two topspin balls in a row, causing Jiang Yungu's mistake, and the score chased to 7:9, these balls are telling the opponent that he has not given up, and also gave Su Nian a little motivation.

Changing Jiang Yungu's serve, Su Du once again used the repeated landing point in the middle to tie the score.

Jiang Zhao asked for a timeout, they still hoped to win this game, leading 2:0, so that the pressure on the later innings would be a little less.

After the pause, Jiang Yungu served, and Su Nian picked up, but I didn't expect Zhao Yuan to dare to pick up Su Nian's pick with twisting, it was Jiang Yungu, she was very familiar with Su Nian's ball, and knew that Su Nian especially liked to pick and play in key points, so she made a prediction in advance, and told Zhao Yuan to pick it up like this, and Jiang Zhao won the game point in the second game.

The next ball, Zhao Yuan chose to twist and pull again, Jing Xing did not predict it, the backhand returned the ball to the net, and Jiang Zhao went to the next game.

The prediction of these two balls reminded Su Nian of the suffocation of being suppressed in singles, and this suffocating and powerless feeling affected her state in the third game.
