Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 405 Break of serve and counter-break, top showdown
Chen Ran lowered his head and cursed secretly, obviously very dissatisfied with the performance just now.

He even stared at his racket for a long time and touched the string from time to time.

This is actually a habitual action of many tennis players, who need to use it to distract themselves from psychological pressure.

The current score is 4-3, and the serve was broken by the opponent at the critical moment.

But he was unwilling to give up the second set and return to the same starting line.

Therefore, Chen Ran decisively started playing psychological warfare.

He signaled that he wanted to change his racket.

Across the court, Roddick was getting ready to serve like a cannonball. After seeing Chen Ran's actions, he raised his hands in dissatisfaction to express his dissatisfaction.

Damn!

Finally, the momentum came to his side... this cunning guy!

Roddick on the opposite side roared excitedly, with a ferocious look on his face, looking extremely excited.

Chen Ran changed his racket, then jumped a few times on the spot to signal the opponent to continue serving.

It's useless to let your kid do your tricks.

"It seems that Chen Ran's plan to change his racket before the game did not affect Roddick."

Da Da Da~
After Roddick smacked the tennis ball a few times very quickly, he waved his arms again and served vigorously.

The serve is straight!

"I really didn't cheat."

Bang!
boom!
Chen Ran took a step and finally caught the ball this time, and then returned to the opposite side steadily.

He will win his serve effortlessly.

Its flight direction seems to have become difficult to figure out again.

It didn't seem like his plan affected Roddick's serving form.

He wanted to take advantage of the hot touch and speed to complete the serve.

"Isn't it normal in tennis to change rackets during the match?"

The tennis ball flew unsteadily like dead leaves in a storm.

However, Chen Ran only felt a yellow-green cannonball roaring towards him. He moved his body, waved his racket and still returned the ball out of bounds.

His body swayed slightly, and his concentration began to increase.

The Sky Sports host at the scene also joked like this.

This time the ball was returned with some cutting action.

"what!"

Immediately afterwards, Roddick scored another point, and in the blink of an eye it was 30-0, occupying a large advantage.

It is very technical, controlling the parabola through the angle of the racket, half cutting and pushing, half lifting and lifting, to pull the tennis ball up in an arc, but after landing, the bounce is not high.

This ball showed Chen Ran's superb control over the rotation and placement of the tennis ball, making Roddick's return very uncomfortable.

Chen Ran seized this fleeting opportunity and decisively attacked.

After gaining an advantage, they pressed forward step by step.

15 is better than 30!

At the critical moment, Chen Ran scored another point.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ran scored a key point with a signature "Chen-style ball" during the confrontation between the two sides.

The two sides drew again.

At the same time, the entire audience let out an unexpected exclamation.

It turned out that Roddick accidentally slipped when he ran to the net to save the ball.

Many players like to play on grass, but the only drawback is that grass is too slippery.

Professional tennis players are, after all, humans, not robots.

Even for top players, there will definitely be some psychological impact after a slip.

Chen Ran is like a sharp swordsman, attacking decisively when the opponent's condition fluctuates slightly.

He ran quickly and rushed to the net in one breath. Chen Ran seemed to be about to swing the racket vigorously, but suddenly his wrist flicked. Instead of exerting all his strength, he gently rubbed the racket and cut out a diagonal line that flew parallel to the net.

Not only does it stick to the net, but the force is released perfectly. There is almost no bounce after landing, and all the energy has been swallowed up by the grass in the blink of an eye.

On the other side, Roddick started up again.

But it seemed that he was affected by the slip just now, and his pace seemed a bit slow.

The tennis ball hits the ground and then jumps twice.

Break point appears!
Just now, Roddick was still leading 30-0.

But in the blink of an eye, Chen Ran had already taken the lead 40-30.

Roddick glanced down at the lush green lawn, then walked back to the baseline without looking back.

He never expected that the opponent would get a break point so quickly.

In fact, my serving status in this set was still good, and it was not affected by the episode where Chen Ran just changed his racket.

But the problem is that Chen Ran's serve-receiving condition is also quite good.

"But even if we are one point behind and let the opponent get a break point, I am still the one who is more likely to win the game."

Roddick muttered in his mind.

Once you get your serve back up, everything will become easier.

boom!
He swings and serves again!
ACE?

At the moment of swinging the racket, Roddick felt that the serve would be an ace.

As the best server in the world, this feeling is never wrong.

In past games, when Roddick felt that the moment his racket touched the racket when he served, it would be an ACE ball, there was a high probability that it would be an ACE ball.

Even if you take a step back and the opponent only touches the racket, it is still a straight serve.

This feeling is unmistakable!
This is the confidence top servers have in themselves.

The yellow-green tennis ball hit the ground directly, even splashing some grass clippings.

At this time, Chen Ran's eyes narrowed slightly and his whole body started up again.

At that moment, he stared closely at the flying tennis ball.

Right, forehand, outside corner.

Perfect prediction!
But Chen Ran was not ecstatic at all. He remained rational, calm and focused.

One step, two steps.

With one horizontal cross-step movement, the body was already in position quickly. With a kick of the right leg, an emergency brake controlled the body, and a powerful reaction force came like an overwhelming force.

Chen Ran took advantage of this power, and the entire turning and swinging movement was obviously accelerated.

Ah!
He also let out a roar from deep within his body that resounded throughout the audience.

Head-to-head!
A strong head-on collision, and at the moment of contact with the ball, rely on the strength of the wrist to wrap it up and throw it out instantly, increase the speed of the racket head to the extreme, use the force to hit, and exert full force at the same time, the energy rushes all the way from the soles of the feet.

boom!
Chen Ran's return of serve was solid, violent, strong and crisp.

what?
How can this be?

Roddick stared blankly at Chen Ran's return shot without any reaction.

The tennis ball flew to the other end of Roddick's position like an arrow.

This is indeed an ACE ball, but it is Chen Ran's receiving ACE ball.

After being broken by Roddick, Chen Ran immediately broke back successfully.

In an instant, the entire No. 1 Stadium was boiling. The collective stood up and applauded, raised their arms and shouted. A raging heat wave hovered over the stadium, and it seemed that the whole world was boiling.

The score is 4 to 4!

In the blink of an eye, Roddick's advantage was lost.

"Obviously... this should be an ACE ball!"

Roddick murmured in a daze.
