Chapter 254: Serve and hit the net (first update)

Views:

Although the two-handed backhand is very offensive and may even turn defense into attack, it is a backhand after all and is definitely not as powerful as the forehand. Because of this, a two-handed backhand return will give the opponent Going online leaves more opportunities. It can be said that the two-handed backhand is more restrained when playing online.

In this match in history, it was Grosjean who advanced. Grosjean's serve and net caused a lot of trouble for Nalbandian. Nalbandian had to fight hard for five games before defeating Grosjean. .

Before the game, Coach Joyce once suggested that if you want to deal with Nalbandian's double reverse, it is a better way to use the net play to actively go to the net. However, active net play is a skill that is very difficult to predict in tennis. It requires players to have accurate judgment and be able to predict the direction of the ball in advance. It also requires players to have delicate techniques so that they can hit the opponent with the ball in the future. Neutral position; players need to have quick reactions and be able to quickly choose the time to go online according to changes in the game process. More importantly, they need to have rich game experience so that they can control the overall situation.

The vast majority of players who play at the net are serve and net players. They first gain an advantage by serving, and then create opportunities to go to the net. However, this is not the case for one person. Whether he is in his own serve or the opponent's serve, They can't help but want to take the initiative to go to the net. In fact, he will go to the net for almost every ball in the game. He is the king of the generation, Pete Sampras.

Sampras was Federer's former golf champion. He has been ranked No. 1 in the world for six consecutive years and has won 14 Grand Slam titles in his career, which is second only to Federer.

Sampras's forehand is very powerful, but his backhand is average. However, Sampras' opponents don't like to play backhand with him. The reason is Sampras' net skills. It is the first in the world. For example, if a player with a strong backhand wants to challenge Sampras's backhand, he will definitely use his own backhand to attack Sampras's backhand. However, Sampras's style of play is not to accept the move at all, but to directly take the initiative. Attack on the net, and the success rate of Sampras's attack on the net is surprisingly high.

When choosing an experience book before, Zhang Guan had hesitated whether to choose Federer's experience book or Sampras's experience book. In the end, Zhang Guan chose Federer. However, facing Nalbandian today is a "cow killer". With Federer's game experience stored in Zhang Guan's mind, he can still defeat Nalbandian, but it will take a lot of effort to win in a certain set. A tie-break is possible, and a five-set match is even more possible.

So Zhang Guan decided to make a quick decision. He directly purchased Sampras's experience book, gained Sampras's experience on the Internet, and integrated the game experience of the two major players into one.

In the second game between the two sides, Zhang Guan served.

Nalbandian remembered the coach's plan before the game to force Zhang Guan to make more first-serve errors, so he deliberately adjusted his position.

Positioning is very important when receiving a serve in tennis, because many times whether you can catch the ball is actually a small step difference. Sometimes if you are a small step closer, you may be able to catch a ball, but if you are a small step farther away, you may be able to catch the ball. One small step and the ball is lost.

The server also needs to adjust the landing point of his serve according to the opponent's position, and try to land in a position where it is difficult for the opponent to receive it.

In the previous game between Zhang Guan and Grosjean, Grosjean knew that his backhand was not good, so when receiving the serve, he would deliberately tilt his backhand position, so that if Zhang Guan attacked Grosjean's backhand, Grosjean would Catching the ball will be easier. Today, Nalbandian obviously does not have this problem, so his position is more in the middle. This position is obviously prepared with both left and right in mind, and it also forces Zhang Guan to choose a more extreme serving point.

"Seeing my position, you should choose a more extreme serve! This will greatly increase your error rate." Nalbandian thought while getting ready to catch the ball.

Zhang Guan saw Nalbandian's position and immediately understood Nalbandian's intention.

"Does he really want me to serve some shots with extreme landing points? If it was me a few minutes ago, maybe I would really do that, but it is no longer necessary now. Let you see the world's number one serve and net!" "

I saw Zhang Guan hit the ball directly towards Nalbandian's backhand.

"The ball speed is so fast! But this is what I expected. Zhang Guan can often serve at 200 kilometers per hour. Before the game, I have conducted special training for this kind of fast serve. This ball is attacking me My backhand is exactly what I want. My backhand is not as weak as Grosjean. I am the strongest backhand in the world! Huh? This placement doesn’t seem to be too extreme... "

At this time, the tennis ball has landed, and the placement point is not as Nalbandian imagined. This is not a very extreme serve, and it can even be said to be a little too satisfactory.

"This serve seems a bit conservative! If you serve this kind of ball, as long as your backhand is not bad, you should be able to catch it! Isn't Zhang Guan very good at hitting aces or serving to score? It's this difficult. It is completely impossible to score directly with a serve, let alone an ACE! Why did Zhang Guan do this? Did he miss the serve?"

While Nalbandian was thinking rapidly in his mind, his body was not idle. A player of his level did not need to think at all. He could perform various difficult technical moves just by relying on his body's conditioned reflexes.

"Bang!" Nalbandian's signature back-and-forth return action was as graceful as a textbook.

"I'll attack your backhand, I can break serve with this ball!" When Nalbandian returned Zhang Guan's backhand, he saw Zhang Guan pressing toward the net.

"Zhang Guan hits the net! It's a serve!" Nalbandian was suddenly shocked. Zhang Guan's tactical choice greatly exceeded Nalbandian's expectations. At this time, Nalbandian finally understood , why did Zhang Guan choose a serve that looked very conservative? Zhang Guan's killer move was not the serve in the first place, but the subsequent serve to the net.

"Why didn't I expect this? Zhang Guan just served so conservatively. He was not aiming for a one-hit kill. His purpose was to hit the net later! Is this deliberately targeting my backhand? Oops, the ball is out of reach... "

Nalbandian tried to catch the ball, but Zhang Guan had successfully intercepted the ball, so how could he give Nalbandian a chance. Zhang Guan hit the tennis ball with one blow, and the tennis ball flew directly into Nalbandian's space.

"15-0!" The referee immediately announced the score.

Nalbandian took a deep breath: "Zhang Guan's mobility is so strong that he is really suitable for serving and hitting the net. It seems that if he wants to break serve in this game, he can only hope that Zhang Guan makes a mistake!"
