Li Hengze's face was gloomy. He wanted to retaliate in his serve, but he didn't expect to lose the first ball.
Li Hengze continued to serve. This time, he worked hard, hoping to get an ace. However, Li Hengze's serve was indeed a bit weak, and it was extremely difficult for him to get an ace ball in Zhang Guan's hands.
After Zhang Guan caught the ball, after two consecutive shots, he seized an opportunity, rushed to the baseline, and completed the offensive and defensive transition with a beautiful forehand.
This sudden change in rhythm made it difficult for Li Hengze to adapt immediately, and his handling seemed a bit panicked. In an instant, he changed from the offensive side to the defensive side.
"Same as the last ball, Zhang Guan's hitting point has advanced again!" Li Hengze only noticed that Zhang Guan's hitting point has advanced, but he did not notice that Zhang Guan was actually running non-stop.
Zhang Guan used a series of large forehand moves to end the ball and the score became 0-30.
Li Hengze's face was no longer relaxed. Zhang Guan advanced the receiving point for two consecutive goals, and then switched offense and defense, which made Li Hengze feel a little bit bad. If you improvise on the spot, it is still possible to use it once in a while, but if you use it twice in a row, the possibility of improvising on the spot is relatively small.
"Is this a specific tactic?" Experience told Li Hengze that Zhang Guan's tactics may have formed a relatively mature system.
"It's okay if it's just a simple tactical setting, but if a tactical system has been formed, it will be difficult!" Li Hengze thought silently.
In tennis matches, tactics and tactical systems are completely different. A certain set of tactics is just a certain choice made for a specific style of play. The opponent can easily crack and target it, but if a set of tactics is formed, The tactical system will be mixed with various changes and measures to deal with various balls. It is obviously impossible to crack it through one or two moves.
To put it simply, a tennis tactic is like a position, and a whole tactical system is like a line of defense. If you want to capture a position, you only need to launch a battle, but if you want to break through a line of defense, you need to launch a battle.
In the next ball, after Li Hengze made a mistake on the first serve, he adopted a more conservative approach on the second serve. Zhang Guanze continued to use the "running attack tactics". The rapid transition between offense and defense while moving made Li Hengze confused and quickly lost the ball. .
"What's going on? I feel like I'm being led around by the nose. I don't have any initiative at all. This is my serve!" Li Hengze couldn't adapt to Zhang Guan's rhythm at all. Every time Zhang Guan made a transition between offense and defense, Li Hengze would be thrown into the trap. Push into passivity.
…
Many diners in Korean barbecue restaurants couldn't believe their eyes. Lee Hyung-taek, who had high hopes for him, fell behind 0-40 in his serve. Everyone was staring at the TV, no longer as excited as they were before the game.
"It's 0-40. Why is Li Hengze lagging behind?"
"Why do you feel like Lee Hyung Taek loses the ball so easily?"
"What's wrong with player Lee Hyung-taek? Is he completely out of shape? Didn't he say before the game that player Lee Hyung-taek is in good condition?"
When Korea ended, he simply stopped talking. With this score, he really couldn't find any words to justify it.
warm up? Test each other? Start a counterattack? A stormy attack? There wasn't one, all that was left was that Li Hengze kept throwing the ball, throwing the ball, throwing the ball, three goals in a row, and then he lost the fourth goal smoothly.
It was another love-game, and in Li Hengze's own service game, Zhang Guan shaved his head.
The game ended very quickly. When the referee announced the score of 2-0 in the first set, the moment in the barbecue restaurant also shifted the attention from the TV to the barbecue plate. But everyone was silent. Without the previous high-pitched talk, the atmosphere of the entire barbecue restaurant was as solidified as an ice cellar in winter. At this time, most people had no appetite at all, and the meat slices dripping oil on the table were placed in their mouths. It's also tasteless.
However, two people are exceptions, it is the international student Liu Yong and his companions.
"Everyone is mute!" Liu Yong glanced at the Korean food at several tables around him and suddenly shouted: "Give me more meat for one person!"
…
In Zhang Guan's serve game, Li Hengze still didn't score a point.
In three consecutive games, no points were scored, which seemed to explain to everyone that there was a huge gap between the two.
In the stands, Coach Zhang Depei looked at Coach Cui Heejun, who was also sitting in the front row, with a smile on his face. Coach Cui seemed to have noticed Coach Zhang's gaze and glared at Coach Zhang, but his expression was extremely bitter and ashamed. .
Coach Cui said before the game that Zhang Guan's serving power will be greatly reduced in the French Open, and Lee Hyung-taek has a great chance to break serve. However, in the actual game, Lee Hyung-taek found it very difficult to score points, not to mention breaking serve. At this moment, Coach Cui finally discovered that his prediction before the game was wrong.
Coach Zhang had obviously realized this a long time ago. He just heard him say to Zhuge Wenbo next to him: "In the clay court of the French Open, the ball speed will indeed slow down, but this slowdown is not just for Zhang Guan, but for Zhang Guan." The ball speed of all players will slow down. The lower ball speed will make Zhang Guan's serve less threatening, but for Li Hengze, who is not good at serving, the lower ball speed will make his serve non-threatening. More importantly, Zhang Guan's serve will be less threatening. Used new tactics! The overall situation of this game has been decided."
The next game seemed to confirm Coach Zhang's statement. Li Hengze's rhythm became more and more chaotic, and his playing became more and more disorganized. Under Zhang Guan's offensive, he lost his second serve. Then, Zhang Guan successfully kept serve, and the score in the first set became 5-0.
With a score of 5-0, there is no suspense about the outcome of the first set. The only thing worthy of everyone's attention is whether Zhang Guan will give Li Hengze a "zero egg."
However, this suspense did not last long. The chaotic rhythm of Li Hengze could not guarantee the quality and success rate of his serve, and his continuous unforced errors ruined his serve.
The final score of the first set was 6-0, and Zhang Guan gave Li Hengze a "zero egg."
…
At this time, countless Korean viewers looked extremely disappointed in front of the TV.
"How could this happen? Player Li Hengze lost the first set without scoring a single point!"
"Didn't I say that player Li Hengze is very powerful and will become the biggest dark horse in this competition? Why is this result?"
"What about the promised break of serve? Even if there is no break of serve, it's okay to keep your serve. Why didn't you win a game? Why did you get beaten 6-0?"
The TV screen quickly entered the commercial break, but in the studio, the Korean commentator was scratching his head and thinking of various reasons to excuse Li Hengze.
"Li Hengze, even if you win one set, it's fine, but with a score of 6-0, what excuse should I make to excuse you!"
