At 9 a.m., Li Shu took a helicopter to Danguan City and met Tang Yang and Su Zhizhe at the tennis branch of the municipal gymnasium.
"Haha, since I played tennis with brother Li Shu last time, I still remember it fresh." Su Zhizhe acted as a middleman and talked directly about tennis.
"Hello, Mr. Li, I'm Tang Yang." A middle-aged man in his 40s with a Chinese character shook hands with Li Shu. His hands were very strong and he obviously got regular exercise.
Tang Yang was shocked by Li Shu's youth and sighed in his heart: "Are young people so fierce now? When I was in my 20s, I was still studying in school. After school, I just wanted to pick up girls and play games.
Humph~ But it is not necessarily a good thing for young people to become famous prematurely. They can easily become arrogant. This Li Shu may not be able to achieve what I am now when he is in his 40s, hum~".
Li Shu felt a slight sense of hostility in Tang Yang's eyes, and instantly smiled and said: "Mr. Tang also has thick calluses on his hands. I wonder if he can play tennis?"
"Oh, does Mr. Li want to play tennis with me? Hahahaha, I have won the National Tennis League Championship! Mr. Li, are you sure you want to play tennis with me?" Tang Yang glanced at Li Shu slightly, with a trace in his eyes. Undisguised contempt.
He admitted that Li Shu had achieved some achievements at a young age and was indeed unique, but he did not think Li Shu could beat him in tennis.
After all, the gap between amateur players who play for fun and professional players like him is really too big.
"Brother Li Shu..." Su Zhizhe was well aware of Tang Yang's terrifying tennis prowess. He looked at Li Shu with worried eyes for a moment, but before he could say anything to remind Li Shu, the latter had already nodded in agreement:
"It's just for fun. It's just for entertainment. Besides... I believe Mr. Tang will let me."
"Well, of course, if Mr. Li wants to have fun, I will naturally accompany him. I will control my strength to the same level as you." Tang Yang was slightly stunned and smiled.
The two of them went to change clothes and get their rackets. Tang Yang looked at Li Shu's back with a bad smile on his lips, thinking to himself: "What does this young man mean? Does he want me to let him off on purpose, thinking that I will let him win?" Haha~ It’s a really funny idea. I’ll show you how powerful professional players are later!”.
After changing clothes, Li Shu and Tang Yang stood on both sides of the tennis block. Tang Yang pretended to be generous and let Li Shu serve, but the latter smiled and did not refuse.
The tennis rules they recognize are very different from the international version. They adopt a best-of-five-game system. Whoever wins 7 balls first in each game will win the game.
How to count a ball won
For example, the ball hit by Li Shu can be hit back by the opponent before it hits the ground and after it hits the ground. If the opponent fails to hit the ball back, then the opponent loses and Li Shu wins by one ball.
If the ball has already hit the ground twice, even if the opponent hits it back, it is considered a loss.
If the ball returned by the opponent hits the blocker, the opponent loses.
Of course, if the ball hit by Li Shu lands, the landing point must be within the white line border. If it lands outside the white line border, Li Shu loses and the opponent wins by one ball, etc.
"I'm going to serve." Li Shu bared his teeth harmlessly and looked at Tang Yang, who was a few meters away, holding the shot with both hands and slightly bowing his legs, as if he was a brown bear ready to attack at any time. The green tennis ball was thrown into the air, and bang~ the rapidly swinging racket hit the tennis ball hard. The latter flew over the block like a cannonball and hit the ground on Tang Yang's side.
"Holy shit! Catch it!!!" Tang Yang's pupils shrank and he tried his best to catch it, but when the racket was stretched out, the ball had already hit the ground first, then bounced back and flew outside the boundary, dong dong dong ~ outside the boundary It bounced a dozen times quickly before finally stopping.
Li Shu:Tang Yang=1:0.
Tang Yang was instantly petrified: "What a... What a fast ball."
Su Zhizhe, who was standing not far away, stood up and applauded, bang bang bang~ He also plays tennis often, so he could naturally see how extraordinary that shot was.
"Oh, thank you, Mr. Tang, for letting me. If you hadn't let me, I wouldn't have been able to get a ball easily." Li Shu said with a harmless smile.
"Uh, ha... That's true." Tang Yang felt his face getting slightly hot, but he still said: "Mr. Li's skills are indeed great, so I don't need to let you go next. You have to be careful. ."
"Come here and let me see Mr. Tang's strength." Li Shu also turned serious. This time it was Tang Yang's turn to serve.
"Bang~" With a soft sound, the tennis ball flew over very quickly. Li Shu's sharp eyes were focused on the opposite right corner. Bang~ He swung the racket quickly. In an instant, the tennis ball flew back at a faster speed and hit Li Shu accurately. Where Shu saw it, bang~ jumped out of the sideline, Li Shu: Tang Yang = 2:0.
Tang Yang was even worse this time. He had just reacted and not even had time to swing his racket.
His face turned ugly for a moment, and he gasped violently. After a long time, he said in a voice that only he could hear: "This ball is really too fast."
"Oops~ Mr. Tang gave in to me again, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to win this game so quickly." Li Shu continued to smile harmlessly.
But Tang Yang didn't speak. He no longer had the nerve to tell lies. This ball was indeed something he couldn't catch even if he tried his best.
"Come again!".
3 seconds later, bang ~ the third ball hit the ground, Li Shu: Tang Yang = 3:0.
Three seconds later, bang~the fourth ball hit the ground, Li Shu: Tang Yang = 4:0.
Tang Yang was angry, anxious and tired, his forehead was already covered with sweat, and he sighed in his heart: "How can he beat me like a father beating his son? Bah, bah, bah~ But why is he so strong!!".
3 seconds later, bang~the fifth ball hit the ground, Li Shu: Tang Yang = 5:0.
Three seconds later, bang~the sixth ball hit the ground, Li Shu: Tang Yang = 6:0.
Three seconds later, bang~the seventh ball hit the ground, Li Shu: Tang Yang = 7:0.
Li Shu took the lead with 7 goals and won the first game!
Best of 3 out of 5 games, the next game is about to begin.
"Mr. Tang is not in good condition. You can't stay like this for three seconds. Why don't you take some kidney treasure, hahaha." Li Shu said with a smile.
Su Zhizhe finally figured out that Tang Yang's strength was too far behind Li Shu's, especially the latter's high-speed ball. Tang Yang couldn't catch it at all - his brain could react, but his body couldn't keep up.
"Haha, brother Li Shu is so awesome, but I think we'll stop here today. Let's go to the coffee shop over there to talk things over." Su Zhizhe hurriedly came up to smooth things over. He could see that Tang Yang was in a daze now, his eyes were out of focus, and he seemed Falling into deep self-doubt.
Obviously, Tang Yang was autistic after being beaten.
"Okay." Li Shu smiled kindly, and when he saw Tang Yang's dazed look, he felt as happy as eating honey.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, the three of them came to a cafe in the stadium. The cafe has a simple and fashionable design, and there are beautiful arowanas in several fish tanks.
