Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 214: The magic ball that shines from comics into reality
“Welcome to week two of Roland Garros!”

From 128 players at the beginning of the tournament to only 16 now, the French Open has ushered in the most intense second week.

At present, the voices of praise and support occupy an absolute proportion on social networks. The mood of hundreds of millions of Chinese fans is also ups and downs with Chen Ran's round after round of competition. Everyone is marveling at Chen Ran's achievements.

Especially when the French Open organizing committee set Chen Ran as the No. 2 favorite to win, almost the entire China had rising expectations for Chen Ran.

"The limit of mental attributes is 87!" Chen Ran silently closed his attribute panel.

After he defeated Nadal, he received another potential value allocation.

After careful consideration, Chen Ran still chose the spiritual attribute.

Currently, his technical attributes are 88, his physical attributes are 87, and his mental attributes are 86.

This is the French Open, the place where will is most tested, so Chen Ran chose the mental attribute when allocating potential values.

On the other side, Argentinian Gaudio put his hands on his hips and lowered his head, as if praying for something.

The 25-year-old clay court master ushered in the highlight of his career at the French Open.

But who will be satisfied with this?Who doesn’t want to take another step forward?
Nowadays, Chen Ran, who is very popular, is the box office guarantee of the French Open. This is the third time that the organizing committee has arranged to play in the center court of Roland Garros, but it is the first time for Gaudio.

"Come on, Chen Ran!"

"Win one more game and enter the quarterfinals!"

Many Chinese fans at the scene shouted loudly.

Neat, powerful, and powerful!
But the Argentinians are not in need of fans, and many French people cheer for Gaudio because Chen Ran eliminated Grosjean.

In addition, there are also many Argentinians living in Paris, France.

In the first game, Chen Ran realized that saying.

On clay courts, you can never underestimate any Latin player.

Although Chen Ran got into the game quickly, Gaudio was also very excited as if he had been beaten to death.

The 1-meter-tall Argentinian with a fiery touch kept attacking Chen Ran.

boom!
A powerful blow!
The tennis ball landed deeply, ripped away at a large angle without mercy, and then quickly rolled towards the billboard in the distance.

Just now, Chen Ran broke serve in the 11th game, and Gaudio immediately broke back in the 12th game after falling into a desperate situation!

6 is better than 6!

In the first set, the two sides entered a tie-break, and the atmosphere was almost suffocating.

There were more than 1 spectators in the audience, and they cheered loudly.

The French were thrilled with the Argentinian's performance.

“Latin players’ mental toughness always improves on clay courts.”

Chen Ran breathed slowly, this thought flashing through his mind.

He raised his head and glanced at the sky. The weather today is sunny and the sun is high in the sky.

After only one game, beads of sweat continued to drip from his forehead.

"I found that Chen Ran has often played tie-breaks with his opponents since the start of the French Open!" C5 host Zhan Jun also said nervously.

Indeed, because everything is full of uncertainty on clay courts.

Even some unknown players often perform amazingly.

Let’s tie the knot!

Chen Ran is very familiar with this.

After the tie-break started, Chen Ran hit the ball again and again, accompanied by deep roars again and again, and he began to show his superior strength.

He stepped back and took off at the same time, making a very difficult high-pressure ball backwards in the fierce wind and rain.

Chen Ran's core strength in his waist and abdomen instantly contracted, his body curled up, and then he violently completed the hit with a forehand!

"what!"

He clenched his fists and shouted hysterically.

The tennis ball hit the red soil, then fell to the ground and blossomed.

At 7:5 in the tiebreaker, Chen Ran finally fulfilled his count with difficulty!

The victory in the first set belonged to Chen Ran.

At least judging from the first set, there is no doubt that this is a hard and anxious game.

After Chen Ran roared briefly, his expression was serious, without any trace of relaxation.

He obviously also expected that the next game would not be easy.

After the start of the second set, the intensity and stalemate of the competition between the two sides far exceeded imagination and was shocking every step of the way.

Chen Ran even fell to the court after sliding to save the ball.

"Could this guy have brought forward the competitive state that should belong to next year's French Open for this game?" This is Chen Ran's idea.
There is no doubt that both players have tapped into their full potential, making this game a thrilling one.

In the second set, Gaudio secured serve for 6 games from Chen Ran and once again entered the tiebreaker.

6: 5!

In the tie-break, he actually led all the way and touched the set point first.

But the next two serves belonged to Chen Ran.

"So tenacious. I believe no one could have imagined that Argentina could perform so well before the start of the game!" the C5 host couldn't help but sigh, "I hope Chen Ran can stay calm and successfully enter the quarterfinals."

At this moment, Gaudio, who was standing on the court, looked firmly towards the other side of the court, obviously determined to win the second set.

As long as we win this set, the game will return to the same starting line.The Argentine has never been afraid of any opponent on clay courts.

boom!
Chen Ran hit a serve from the inside corner of the zone with a speed of 201 kilometers.

Across the court, Gaudio, an ordinary man, was almost flying, stretching his body to the limit.

But Chen Ran's serve was comparable to a heavy cannon. It really didn't leave much space for him, so he couldn't keep up with his steps. In the end, he could only block it with a one-handed backhand, barely trying to buy time to return the ball in this way. .

Chen Ran rushed into the court immediately and swung his racket as if to hit a high-pressure smash. But the moment the racket touched the tennis ball, he repeated his trick again and flicked his wrist.

The ball bounced gently to the front of the net.

6: 6!

Chen Ran tied the score and successfully saved a set point!
He told the opponent with his actions that even if he wanted to complete a mini-break, it was not an easy task.

big heart!
Even at such a critical moment, Chen Ran still dared to do technical work.

After a serve, Chen Ran scored directly with another serve.

7 to 6, he once again took the lead with his two service points.

This time, it was Chen Ran's turn to take stock.

As the game became more intense, Gaudio's weakness on his serving end began to show.

After all, with his height of 1 meters, it is difficult to maintain an efficient serve.

Gaudio can only find scoring opportunities by formulating strategies and constantly running, and pulling to the limit with Chen Ran on the baseline.

Hey~
Suddenly, the entire audience took a breath and burst into incredible exclamations.

It turned out that Chen Ran hit a backspin chipping ball three or four steps in front of the net.

The agile Gaudio was well prepared and immediately rushed towards the front of the net.

Normally, Gaudio can at least hit the ball back to the opposite half.

But an incredible scene happened in front of everyone.

The backspin of this tennis ball was so strong that it bounced directly backwards after it hit the ground.

Because Chen Ran's return was very shallow, the tennis ball was very close to the net after it landed. As a result, after the tennis ball bounced back, it immediately touched the net, forming a winning point!

This is a fairy ball!

Fans who have watched "The Prince of Tennis" will know that the ball just now has some similarities with the "Zero Slice".

It can even be said that the "zero slice" is the tennis technology most likely to be realized.

The difference is that top players in the real world cannot use it as a regular scoring method and can only use it occasionally.

Because the appearance of this kind of ball requires not only a delicate touch, but also some extra luck.

To break this chip shot, the opposing player can only complete the volley directly before the tennis ball hits the ground.

But with such a long distance, even if you run as fast as a cheetah, it will be difficult to catch up.

At this moment, if Xu Fei had just seen this "zero slice" shot in front of the TV that allowed Chen Ran to win the crucial second set, he would surely be slapping his thighs and jumping with excitement, right?

However, Chen Ran was also very general-like and did not celebrate too much. Instead, he reached out to Gaudio to apologize immediately.

After all, this ball still has a bit of luck involved.

8: 6!

Chen Ran completed a shocking reversal in the tie-break and won the second set.

2 is better than 0!

After two tie-breaks, Chen Ran already held a two-set lead.

In Grand Slam-level matches, there have indeed been many dramas where two teams chased three players.

Among the current tennis stars, Agassi has staged this scene several times.

But Chen Ran, who is getting better, obviously will not give Gaudio any chance.

The drama of two chasing three will never happen to him!

Similarly, after a near-tragic second set, although Gaudio still maintained his tenacious willpower and still ran around the court tirelessly, his competitive state finally showed some fluctuations.

In this set, Gaudio served first.

But when faced with Chen Ran's waves of attacks, Gaudio finally couldn't stand it anymore and relaxed at a certain stage of the stalemate.

Gaudio saved the first break point.

Gaudio also saved the second break point.

But on the third break point, Gaudio finally made a mistake in judgment, and Chen Ran seized the opportunity and scored a crucial point.

6: 4!

Compared with the previous two sets, Chen Ran won the third set relatively easily.

3 is better than 0!

But in fact, winning every game is not easy.

Chen Ran once again achieved a sweep in the fourth round, defeating the clay court master and the next year's French Open champion.

At this moment, all the Chinese reporters who were on tenterhooks began to cheer!
China Tennis' best record at the French Open has reached another level.
