Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 87 The Ears Destroyed by Sharapova (Third update, please read it, recommend!)
The crowd of onlookers did not mind the excitement and whistled.

"Chen Ran is awesome!"

"I'm impressed that you can still pick up girls like this!"

"The power control of this ball is so great, it feels like a magical ball!"

Fortunately, these guys all spoke Chinese and Sharapova couldn't understand them.

Chen Ran was also a little depressed. You were watching the game so well, why were you still distracted?

The ball's landing speed is not very fast, so it can be avoided completely.

"Girl, if you think my control of force can be more precise than that of a robot, then count it as intentional." Chen Ran replied in fluent English.

In this "simulation training ground" you can not only practice tennis, but also learn English.

Sharapova picked up the ball, took the tennis racket from her partner, and walked into the court with vigorous steps.

"Whether you meant it or not, the ball hurt me just now, so you have to train with me for a while to express your apology."

"sure, no problem."

This is the first time for Chen Ran to practice and compete with female players.

"You male players serve too hard and I can't catch it." Sharapova shook the tennis ball with one hand and said with a playful smile, "That's why I serve."

"Whatever." Chen Ran looked indifferent.

He held the racket in both hands, half-bent, and stared seriously ahead.

It is one of the fun things in life to be able to appreciate the serve of a famous tennis boy from his previous life at such a close distance.

However, Chen Ran found that this beautiful tennis girl's serving movements were really slow.

Sharapova first held the racket in one hand, touched the string with the other, walked gently on the spot with her feet, and then made several swings.

Then, she very elegantly moved the two tufts of hair hanging in front of her ears behind her earlobes, then bent down, bent her knees, and gently tossed the tennis ball up.

Chen Ran was about to catch the ball when a hysterical scream that almost shattered his eardrums suddenly came from the opposite side, which startled him suddenly.

At this time, he finally remembered that when he was watching Sharapova's game in his previous life, in order to prevent neighbors from misunderstanding, he had to turn down the volume of the TV.

Now, he finally experienced the iconic "Shava-style" scream in person.

The Russians who were watching seemed to have long been accustomed to this, but the Chinese tennis teenagers were unprepared and were obviously stunned by Sharapova's scream.

However, there are also some people with rich imagination who start to imagine that if they change the place, the screams will be exciting just thinking about it.

Sharapova's serve is of high quality. Although the ball speed is not as fast as that of male players, it still reaches more than 180 kilometers.

Chen Ran was frightened by the sudden scream and was stunned for a moment. The return of the serve was a bit awkward this time, resulting in a low-quality return.

Sharapova immediately ran a few steps forward and scored with a powerful smash.

Then, the little girl raised her eyebrows and looked at Chen Ran with a hint of provocation, as if she was telling him: You know how powerful I am.

She really holds a grudge.

Of course, in fact, all women hold grudges, even hairy girls are no exception.

"Get ready, I'm going to continue serving." Sharapova's second serve was as quick as the first one, a lot of preparations, and then accompanied by a sharp scream, the tennis ball quickly It was hit extremely hard.

Mao Mei, who has received professional training since she was a child, has incredible arm strength, even if it is inferior to that of an ordinary adult man.

The ball speed of this serve is close to 190 kilometers.

Chen Ran was already ready.

At this moment, he finally became serious. The person standing opposite was not a delicate beauty, but Maria Sharapova, the future five-time Grand Slam winner and the No. 1 female tennis player of the younger generation today. (Among them, there are two sessions at the French Open and one session each for the other three, which are also called economical Grand Slams by netizens)
He moved his steps, jumped up with his whole body to the left, held his backhand in both hands and rubbed it gently.

Feeling the huge impact coming from the racket, Chen Ran thought to himself: This girl is really powerful, almost as strong as someone from the provincial team.

Sharapova faced the incoming ball and decisively hit a deep shot, which of course was still accompanied by a scream that made Chen Ran grit his teeth.

The two of them started a back-and-forth tug-of-war, and finally Chen Ran broke serve with a straight shot from a small angle.

The difference between male players and female players is not only in strength, but also in the ability to complete some difficult balls, but the most important thing is the gap in running ability.

Sharapova is young, strong, and has long legs, but her running ability on the court is obviously much worse than Chen Ran's.

As the game progressed, even though the serve was always in Sharapova's hands, Chen Ran easily gained the initiative.

He even dropped a few small balls unexpectedly, which made the little furry girl pout in anger.

After all, with this iconic "Chen's ball" even many male players can only look at the ball and sigh, let alone Sharapova, who is far behind in running ability.

"I admit that your skills are very comprehensive, much better than those at Nickelodeon." Although Sharapova was mistreated by Chen Ran, she still admitted Chen Ran's strength very frankly.

She walked up to Chen Ran carrying the racket.

The two stood opposite each other. Sharapova was half a head taller than Chen Ran, almost 1 meters tall.

Maybe she couldn't beat Chen Ran on the court, so she had to be taller than him.

"I am a person who is going to participate in the tour. There is no need to compare with those in online schools." Chen Ran shrugged and spread his hands.

Sharapova seemed to have thought of something and said: "Are you going to participate in the Australian Open which starts at the end of this month?"

"Yes, I won a wild card for the qualifying round. Are you... going directly to the main draw?" Chen Ran asked. He couldn't remember when Sharapova first participated in a Grand Slam.

Sharapova nodded proudly. At only 16 years old, she got a spot in the main draw. This is indeed something to be proud of.

However, female tennis players do mature earlier than male athletes.

For example, Swiss female player Hingis was only 16 years old when she won her first Grand Slam, and Sharapova was only 17 when she won Wimbledon for the first time.

"Anyway, you and I are the only ones here to participate in the Australian Open...so why don't you practice with me for a few more days?"

So in the next few days, Chen Ran kept playing against Sharapova amidst the envious eyes of many tennis teenagers from the East Zhejiang Province team.

Although practicing ball with a beautiful woman is a very pleasant thing, during these days, Chen Ran's ears have been tortured by Sharapova's screams.

He even felt that when he heard similar screams in the dead of night in the future, he would first suspect that the other party was practicing tennis.
