Capítulo 193: Continuous ACE
Zhang Guan's ACE ball instantly detonated the audience. If Sharapova or Li Na sent an ACE ball, the audience would certainly not be surprised, but Zhang Guan, a non-tennis professional player, even sent out an ACE ball. This gave the audience a different feeling.
Sharapova looked back silently at Zhang Guan, and thought to herself, "I haven't seen him in half a year, and his serve has improved again! I remember when he started learning, his serve was just a little more than 190 kilometers, but just now that ball must have been served at more than 200 kilometers! Among the professional players of ATP, this can be regarded as a top serve!"
Next, the right to serve was still in Zhang Guan's hands, and he started serving for the second time.
"It must have been a coincidence just now! Zhang Guan, an track and field athlete, how could he serve such a high level of service! If the ball is well received, otherwise it will be too ugly if we fall behind 0-3 when it comes up." Li Na silently thought about it and was ready to catch the ball.
"Whoosh!" Another yellow light flashed by, and the angle was even more tricky than before. Li Na immediately extended the shot but was a step behind. The tennis ball has leapfrogged out of her catch range.
Another ACE ball!
Li Na opened his mouth slightly but did not speak. Although the venue did not have an eagle eye system to calculate the ball speed, Li Na still judged that Zhang Guan's serve this time still exceeded 200 kilometers per hour.
For professional men's tennis players, it is not an easy task to deliver a 200 km / h ball. Serving more than 200 kilometers per hour twice in a row, even the top players in the ATP rankings cannot guarantee to do this.
"Two consecutive servings with a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour, even if this is a coincidence, it is impossible to do without a certain strength foundation. It seems that I underestimated Zhang Guan before, he is certainly not a rookie in tennis, at least his serving has achieved the professional player level." Li Na thought silently, at the same time her expression became serious.
"Also I admit to Zhang Guan, this serve is more powerful than me!" Jiang Shan thought silently, and he also noticed the change of Li Na. Although the couple just got married early this year, they have known each other for many years. Jiang Shan knew very much about Li Na's unwillingness to lose. At this point, he knew that Li Na would start to take it seriously.
It was Li Na's turn to serve, and Zhang Guan received the ball. So Li Na chose a more extreme serve.
Now Li Na is not as sharp as in the future for her ball serve, and can only be regarded as the average level of the world's top female professional players. As for Zhang Guan, when he was learning tennis, he faced Sharapova, who was famous for her fierce serves and was abused by Sharapova. Zhang Guan was naturally capable of receiving some extreme serve.
So for Li Na's serve, Zhang Guan received it fairly easily. He even added a little topspin when he returned the ball. But for professional athletes, Zhang Guan's return is a bit bad, because Zhang Guan's return did not meet the requirement of a topspin.
Although the skills of the system can bring out the technique to Zhang Guan, it cannot bring the experience of the game. For professional tennis players, it is essential to understand and study the technical characteristics of their opponents before the game. At least they must know what their opponents are good at and what they are not good at, and then attack the opponent's weaknesses in the game, and try to avoid the opponent's strengths.
Now Li Na's technical feature is that her forehand's return is very strong. Zhang Guan's return went right to Li Na's forehand position so that Li Na can play her strengths well, so he can only see Li Na's forehand make a wave, and draws an extremely tricky angle and pulls back a point.
After winning this point, Li Na was slightly relieved, "Zhang Guan is still a rookie. Although the ball came back, the landing point was very poor. In the game, the choice of this landing point is to send free points for me. That kind of abnormal serve just made me jump, and I thought I met a strong player at the Grand Slam level!"
The next ball is still Li Na's right to serve. Zhang Guan returned the ball to the same place as the last time. Li Na scored another point in the same way, and the score was pulled to 2-3.
Sharapova was not surprised by the result of losing two points in a row but instead felt normal. Zhang Guan doesn't have any experience in competitions. He usually looks pretty good in practice, but in the real competition, facing professional players, his lack of experience will immediately appear, and Sharapova has already guessed that this result will happen.
Sharapova served the next two goals.
Considering that this is just a charity exhibition game, Sharapova's first serve is more common, and Jiang Shan's receive is very common. Then Sharapova deliberately slowed down the return speed, which is equivalent to building a net for Li Na. Li Na didn't waste the opportunity for the volley, she scored another point directly in front of the net.
Just now Li Na's performance has already been captured by Sharapova. As a professional tennis player, Sharapova can see at a glance whether the opponent is playing seriously.
"As for the first goal, I have already given it back to you, and then I will play hard!" Sharapova took a deep breath, stabilized her emotions, and then started to serve.
"Boom!" The racket hit the tennis ball fiercely. This is an American spinning serve. The ball sent from this serving method is very powerful because of the technical difficulty. Even top tennis players rarely try it.
More importantly, the angle with a ball is tricky, and it is a big test for the receiver.
Jiang Shan has been retired for several years. Although he has been engaged in tennis coaching for many years and his technical skills are still there, the feeling of the game has long been lost. So when Jiang Shan reacted and started to receive the ball, it was too late. He hit the ball in front of him and then the ball flew out of bounds.
The score became 3-4, Li Na and Jiang Shan were still one point behind, and the right to serve returned to Jiang Shan.
Jiang Shan's first serve deliberately pursued an angle, but as a result, he made a mistake and did not cross the net, so Jiang Shan's second serve became more conservative, and as a result, he lost his initiative, Sharapova counterattacked fiercely, scored another point and the score came to 3-5.
But for the next goal, Jiang Shan's service quality was much higher. After three rounds of holding, Li Na found a neutral and got a point, the score became 4-5.
Next came Zhang Guan's turn to serve.
Li Na looked at Zhang Guan with a vigilant look. She had a hunch that Zhang Guan would once again serve more than 200 kilometers per hour. As a female tennis player, even if she has ranked in the world's top 30 in the WTA rankings, it is still very difficult to receive a service from a male player with a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour.
The racket in Zhang Guan's hands hit the tennis ball fiercely, and it was another powerful blow.
This time, Li Na, who was fully focused, reacted instantly, but she still underestimated Zhang Guan's serve. This time, the service was even a bit faster than before. Although Li Na made a catch, she did not receive the ball.
"ACE! Zhang Guan issued ACE three times in a row!"
"The speed of the ball was more than 200 kilometers per hour! It was only half a year. How did the speed of serving increase so much, is it because his arm strength became stronger?" Sharapova looked at Zhang Guan a little bit inexplicably, but she was constantly wondering when sprinters needed to practice arm strength in her heart.
At this time, Li Na was a little angry, since a track and field athlete was able to serve three ACE balls in a row. Li Na felt a little stumped, and her aggressiveness made her more serious.
"It's just an exhibition game, don't take it too seriously." Jiang Shan's voice suddenly sounded from the side, and Li Na realized that Jiang Shan had come to her unconsciously.
Li Na was stunned for a while and then felt that she was indeed too serious. This is just a charity exhibition game, and it is not an official competition. Why should it be so important to win or lose?
Now Li Na is a regular visitor to the top 16 of the Grand Slam. It can be said that she has already proved herself through the results of the competition. No one will feel that Li Na will lose to an amateur player. As this kind of charity exhibition, even if Li Na lost, people would think that Li Na deliberately let Zhang Guan win.
Having figured this out, Li Na's winning heart disappeared without a trace, and she suddenly felt a lot easier, and at the same time, Zhang Guan also started to serve.
"Wow!" Zhang Guan's serve was as fast as ever, but this time, Li Na successfully received the ball.
If it is a professional athlete, the serve in the game will continue to change. If every single tennis serve is the same, even the most powerful tennis serve will be gradually adopted by the opponent. Zhang Guan has no experience in this field. Although his service is fast, every serve was the same. Li Na has caught the rules and made a successful reception.
"Okay, finally got it!" Li Na's expression hung with a hint of joy, but the next moment, the joy disappeared without a trace.
Sharapova has rushed over, good spin, and an excellent landing place was made by a topspin. Jiang Shan made a mistake when returning the ball and the tennis ball was blocked on the net.
The score is 7-4 and the game is over! Zhang Guan and Sharapova won the exhibition match.
...
The end of this round of the exhibition game is relatively fast. There was no long game of players back and forth during the game, especially the three ACE balls of Zhang Guan, which greatly accelerated the progress of the game, but the audience did not feel disappointed, the exhibition game can't have the same kind of fierce fighting in the main game, and the ability to interact with the players on the spot is the key.
What Zhang Guan did not expect was that although this was only an exhibition game, the organizer still arranged an award ceremony, which was not notified before the game.
The award-giving staff come over with a smile and sent a certificate-like thing to Zhang Guan.
"What is this?" Zhang Guan thought wonderingly.
