Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 53: To defeat a strong enemy, you must conquer his heart
Liang Jian still insisted on the small ball. Li Yan picked a high ball that was high enough and gave it to him in the forehand position. Sure enough, the return ball was still a soft pressure.

This kid is really determined to stick to his own style of play, just waiting for Li Yan's return ball to fail to reach the target.

But Li Yan deliberately blocked the ball from the middle of the net, which caught Liang Jian, who was preparing to rush forward to the net, off guard. He could only slightly increase his strength to block it back.

This is exactly the effect he wanted. Li Yan pretended to block near the net, and when he observed that Liang Jian's center of gravity was moving forward, he changed into a push to the backcourt.

Liang Jian's physical fitness is really good. He took a big step back and made a diagonal shot with all his strength.

Li Yan was a little annoyed. He was still on the offensive despite being targeted like that... He pretended to rub the ball and headed it to the backcourt.

Then he was killed by Liang Jian's Ma Lai infantry.

3: 0.

The score looks okay, but the actual situation is not optimistic.

Li Yan hasn't found a way to deal with the crack yet. What he needs most at this time is calmness and confidence.

The same old trick was used again, and the opening shot was a small ball.

Li Yan stopped trying and hit a high-quality ball close to the net. No matter what style or how fast you are, in the sport of badminton, when facing a high-quality ball close to the net, you either hit it or pick it up.

If you want to rub it, I will fight you on the Internet. If you pick it, I will just hit you without any hesitation.

Liang Jian chose to rub the ball, but the quality was average, and Li Yan had enough time to use the high point to hit the ball diagonally in front of the net.

This is the right thing to do, right? Liang Jian really had no choice but to pick a high ball, and only hit it in the middle and backcourt.

So Li Yan jumped up fully, exerted all his strength, and hit a big diagonal shot.

Finally scored.

Liang Jian actually showed an excited expression. He is truly a wolf, aggressive but not reckless.

The two of them entered into a fast-paced offensive confrontation. Liang Jian was good at seizing the initiative through flat shots, while Li Yan mainly forced Liang Jian to serve the ball through the net, and would directly kill through when he got the chance.

However, Liang Jian's style of play is more energy-saving and easier to lead the rhythm. The faster the play, the more aggressively he follows, and his scoring rate is very high after taking the initiative.

On the contrary, even if Li Yan waits for Liang Jian to hit a high ball, he may not be able to kill with one shot.

After this, Li Yan consumed more energy, but still lost the first game 11:15.

Li Xinyuan in the stands was no longer calm this time. Although she didn't know badminton, she was at least a frequent table tennis player and could understand the "rhythm" on the court.

Throughout this game, Li Yan was the one struggling, while Liang Jian was the driving force of the rhythm.

The score gap wasn’t that big, but I always felt that... Li Yan was going to lose.

Lin Zhiyuan was so nervous that he bit his lips and couldn't speak.

Suddenly, he noticed Li Yan looking at him and then making a thumbs-up gesture.

"Hey, what does Li Yan mean?" Li Xinyuan also saw it.

"I don't know... Has he found a way?"

Indeed, I found it. Li Yan’s praise was for what Xiaopang said, “easy to be impatient”.

Sports have never been just about physical competition; psychological qualities are also particularly important.

It's just that it's often overlooked. Many times the audience always thinks that the so-called mentality depends on whether you are nervous or not, and that you can perform normally if you are not nervous.

In fact, psychological warfare has always been the highlight of sports competitions.

If trash talking doesn't work, I believe athletes wouldn't want to waste their energy on it.

Attacking the opponent's heart does not mean spraying them until they break their defense. Doing that will probably get you ejected from the game - although there are many examples in history of people winning by using dirty tricks that spray the opponent until they break their defense, such as the famous header on the football field.

History has proven that the championship did not lose its value because of cheap swear words, but the star who headed the ball and was sent off with a red card was judged to be not calm enough.

Whether this should be done or not, let the fans judge. At the moment, Li Yan only knew that he felt Liang Jian's anxiety in the first game.

This kid was not in a hurry when he lost the game. Even if he was killed by Li Yan or failed in the mutual pressure, he would still give Li Yan a look of affirmation.

However, after realizing that he could not win the game through offense, Li Yan changed his strategy and played a few defensive balls, which slowed down the tempo and actually forced Liang Jian to make a low-level mistake.

Players who are somewhat skilled in tennis know that they shouldn't hit the ball too hard after it passes over the net and falls, but Liang Jian was stubborn and just did it anyway.

And he showed a very unhappy mood after the ball went off the net. Yo, not only do you like to attack, but you also want others to play offense with you, right?
It's also easy to get carried away and do things even though you know they are wrong. That's good.

Li Yan returned to the court with a strangely confident smile. In the second game, he only implemented one tactic and one playing style.

The ball was either close to the net or at the bottom line.

Liang Jian's backcourt smash is mainly a continuous one, which is not difficult to receive. It is a classic tactic to avoid colliding with his fast pace:

I may not win, but neither can you.

This is the essence of a defense-based style of play. Once we reach a certain level, I will destroy my own strengths and also eliminate your strengths, and then we can compare other things.

As expected, Liang Jian's mistakes gradually increased, all of which were unforced errors, all due to his irrational attack in which he wanted to force a faster tempo.

This is the top.

Liang Jian's expressionless and calm appearance was also destroyed. He looked like a wolf showing its fangs, breathing rapidly and cursing in frustration.

To be honest, Li Yan's own playing style was also disgusting. It was actually very tiring, and it was difficult to suppress his desire to turn the passive situation into the active. Seeing the ball flying towards his head, he really wanted to swing it down.

Fortunately, they held on. Liang Jian was obviously the one who was more disgusted. He even made a low-level choice of trying to kill the ball with all his strength when facing Gao Yuan in the backcourt. Then the ball was easily bounced back by Li Yan for a score.

35 dynamic vision, kid.

The backcourt pressure was so strong that they were not afraid of the "heavy kill" by the elementary school students.

Even so, the scores of both sides continued to rise alternately. After all, Li Yan is not good at defense.

In the end, he tied the game with a score of 15:12.

Looking at Liang Jian who was gritting his teeth as he accepted the comfort from the physical education teacher, Li Yan showed a playful expression.

The effect of the psychological warfare will only begin to explode in the next round.

After a frustrating loss in the last game and with the guidance of the physical education teacher, Liang Jian will definitely organize the ball path patiently and regain the rhythm at the beginning of this game.

Li Yan would not give him this opportunity. Even when Lin Zhiyuan thought that he would carry out the defensive strategy that was so effective in the previous game, the violent man came online.

Liang Jian, who had just been patient, was stunned. He lost several balls in a row before he woke up from his dream and started to speed up.

As a result, he hit his head on cotton and Li Yan started to defend again.

The rhythm was torn to pieces, Liang Jian was muttering to himself and adjusting his breathing.

To attack someone’s heart, you must attack to the end!
"I penetrated your defense, what about you?"

In fact, you are not allowed to talk nonsense in a badminton match.

But after all, the person sitting in the referee's seat was just a physical education teacher who practiced track and field, and Li Yan only said that one sentence, so he didn't bother to care.

Liang Jian was completely excited. He could lose the game, but he had to break through the defense!
This is an exercise that requires the use of the brain. Once it is dominated by emotions, failure is inevitable.

So he lost, 9:15, with a total score of 1:2.

Li Yan successfully advanced to the semi-finals. The little fat boy clapped excitedly, and Li Xinyuan also waved her extremely conspicuous pink jacket to celebrate.

After losing the game, Liang Jian realized that he was being tactically targeted. After calming down, he looked at Li Yan who came to shake his hand, and suddenly felt relieved.

Li Yan from Yucai is such a talented player.

Although she made it to the semi-finals, Li Yan was not too excited.

Because it's really hard to beat him. To beat Liang Jian, you have to attack his mind. If we meet again in the city tournament...

It’s okay. If we meet again, I will no longer be the Xiao Li today.

"Are you Li Yan from Yucai?"

A very mature male voice suddenly appeared, interrupting Li Yan's thoughts.

What came into view was a tall and strong boy, about 180cm tall, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a little fine hair on his mouth, broad shoulders and long arms. He was obviously an athlete.

"I'm Li Canhui, and we're going to fight this afternoon."

Li Yan looked at him again. He had been concentrating on his own game. It happened that his game with Li Canhui always started at about the same time. When he finished, Li Canhui had already packed up and returned to the audience. So he really didn't know the image of this Li Canhui...

No, this is just an elementary school student?
