Of course, ESPN will also broadcast the Australian Open finals live, and the commentator they invited is the world champion Sampras.
At this time, the high-pressure ball that Zhang Guan just jumped horizontally was played in slow motion on the live broadcast screen.
"I read it right just now. Zhang Guan used really my move! In this world, besides me, there is actually a second person who can use this move! When did Zhang Guan learn it?" Sampras With a surprised look on his face, he did not continue to speak, as if he had forgotten that he was serving as the commentator for this game.
Sampras and Zhang Guan have never met. Although they are both celebrities, they know each other through news reports. When Zhang Guan played before leaving the net, Sampras began to pay attention to Zhang Guan. Firstly, the number of players who use the net-playing style these days is almost extinct. Secondly, Zhang Guan’s net-playing style feels very familiar to Sampras. Sampras even feels like he is playing the game on the court.
Now, the move used by Zhang Guan is Sampras's unique skill. It is like a Shaolin monk doing an authentic Tai Chi in front of Zhang Sanfeng.
"Zhang Guan executed the whole action very smoothly. He should be very skilled in using this move." Sampras knew very well that it is difficult to jump the high-pressure ball horizontally or vertically during this kind of movement. First of all, the players It requires a certain amount of physical talent. Secondly, players must have good skills. The most important thing is that players must know how to choose the best time. Because tennis flies very fast, players must choose to take off at the most appropriate time in order to succeed. Stop the ball in mid-air.
In the broadcast, Zhang Guan's smash hit appeared again, but Sampras's brows furrowed more and more.
"What a great jump! Zhang Guan's jumping speed and height are much stronger than when I was young. This move is indeed more powerful in Zhang Guan's hands." Sampras sighed to himself.
…
"Beautiful! Zhang Guan seized the opportunity and broke serve! Zhang Guan leads Federer 1-0!" CCTV's commentator shouted excitedly, and then he said: "Director Su, look at Zhang Guan's move just now. It sounds a lot like a smash in badminton!”
"Yes, this movement of jumping high-pressure balls is indeed very similar to the smash in badminton, but this set of movements is more difficult than the badminton smash. First of all, the speed of tennis is faster than that of badminton. Faster, because the resistance of the badminton flying in the air is relatively large, so the badminton flies slower and slower. When the badminton flies to the opponent's half, the speed will definitely not be as fast as the tennis ball; secondly, the tennis ball is a sphere, it is in the air There is rotation, and the difficulty of catching the ball is relatively higher." Director Su paused, and then said: "Actually, the smash action just now is very difficult to complete in tennis. I want to compare. There are two key difficulties in completing this set of movements perfectly."
"What are the two key difficulties specifically?" the commentator asked cooperatively.
"The first difficulty is to grasp the timing. Jumping to catch the ball is not as simple as just jumping. We all know that tennis is very fast, so athletes not only need to take off, but also need to be able to stop the tennis ball and jump. It won't work if you jump too early or too late. The second difficulty is the athlete's body coordination. When the human body is in the air, there is no point of focus. At this time, to complete a shot, the body needs great coordination. Yes, for athletes with poor coordination, even though they can jump up, their poor completion of technical movements still cannot be converted into points."
"Of course, these two points are not difficult for Zhang Guan. After all, Zhang Guan is the holder of the long jump record in Asia. His jumping ability is the best in the world, and the long jump is also a sport that requires physical coordination. Long jump requires He can make movements in the air, so Zhang Guan's coordination is no problem." Director Su explained.
The commentator nodded: "So that's it. No wonder I rarely see athletes using this technique in competitions."
"Yes, as far as I know, this technical move is the unique skill of the previous generation of golf champion Sampras. Since Sampras retired, no athlete has used this technique anymore." Director Su is worried that ordinary audiences will not use this technique. Knowing who Sampras was, he went on to explain: "Sampras was Federer's former golf champion, holding 14 Grand Slam championships, more than Federer now."
…
Federer has been getting slower and slower in recent years, and has been broken several times in the first game, but every time Federer is always able to regain the score or even go ahead in the following games.
But in that shot just now, Zhang Guan used the technique of jumping a high-pressure ball laterally while moving, which invisibly put a lot of pressure on Federer.
"Zhang Guan is actually able to master this technique. Zhang Guan is already over 190 centimeters tall and has an innate advantage in playing golf. And I heard that Zhang Guan is also a long jump champion. It seems that Zhang Guan's best result in the long jump last year was This means that his jumping is among the best in the world, so as long as Zhang Guan can grasp the timing of his jump, he can easily hit high-pressure balls." Federer silently shook his head: "The last game I took the last ball too much for granted and shouldn't have put the ball too high. With this move, I definitely couldn't beat him in terms of air control. It seemed like the 'air control' in this game was , I have to give up voluntarily."
"With the jumping high-pressure ball in motion, Zhang Guan has shown another new 'weapon'! It's exactly what I expected before the game. Zhang Guan really has unknown methods that he hasn't used yet. In the next game , I can't be careless." Federer secretly glanced at Zhang Guan, who was not far away, and then thought: "Now it's Zhang Guan's turn to serve. According to the information I collected before the game, Zhang Guan's serve is quite changeable. , I will definitely not be able to catch that kind of high-speed serve that exceeds 230 kilometers. In addition, Zhang Guan’s serve and net skills are also very good, I have to go all out!"
…
On the other side, Zhang Guan was also summarizing the gains and losses of the previous game.
"I had some luck in winning the first game. Federer was a little slow at the beginning of the game. It is estimated that as the game becomes more and more intense, Federer's condition will definitely get better and better. In the next service game, I will try to play as quickly as possible. It’s good to have a quick decision and let Federer have less stalemate balls, and his condition will be slower!”
Zhang Guan thought of this, got up and walked onto the playing field.
The second game between the two sides was about to begin, and this time it was Zhang Guan's turn to serve.
