south wind into my arms

Chapter 118
After the first two rounds of the French Open singles, seven of the 32 seeded players have been eliminated.Or in other words, of all 96 unseeded players, only 7 made it to the third round, and they will compete with 25 seeded players for the next promotion places.

The further you go, the harder the game is.Lu Sheng looked at the draw and the results of the competition, and realized that no matter how many rounds she played in the future, she would meet seeded players.

First up is the No. 14 seed.

The No. 14 seed is a native of France, and has a well-known nickname among Chinese fans called "Little Crying Bag".As the name suggests, Comrade Little Crying Bag is characterized by love to cry.The girl is 25 years old this year, and her best result is the semi-finals of the Grand Slam.In all fairness, Xiaokubao's skills are very solid, and his overall technical strength is even stronger than some of the top ten players.However, her short board is - psychological quality.

This guy cries as soon as he loses, retires when he feels unwell, and sometimes encounters too strong opponents, even unwilling to play, and directly injured and retired. It can be said to be a big miracle.

After playing for so many years, it is really unbelievable that his mental quality is still so poor.On the other hand, with such a poor mental quality, she can still make it into the top [-], which shows that her skills are really good...

Mu Le gave Lu Sheng a general introduction to Xiaokuibao's family situation, and Lu Sheng immediately understood why the girl's psychological quality was not good.

Xiaokubao grew up in a wealthy middle-class family in France, with four older brothers.Four older brothers, plus a pair of parents who hope their daughter is crazy, want to spoil this little princess.Xiaokubao's personality is also very ladylike and weak, which caused her to not turn around after she entered the professional arena.

Just kept crying and crying.

Lu Sheng felt that crying might be a way for her to relieve stress.

Anyway, Lu Sheng somewhat envied this little crying bag.

Based on Little Crying Bag's character, Nanfeng and Muller's strategy for Lu Sheng is to attack Little Crying Bag's strengths recklessly, destroy her self-confidence, and behave appropriately on the field.When Xiaokuibao couldn't hold back anymore, Lu Sheng would not be far from victory.

Easier said than done.Everyone knew that Little Crying Bag's weakness was willpower, and it would be more or less close to this when formulating strategies, but in the end, Little Crying Bag still made it to the third round smoothly.

So, the key is to have strength!

Xiaokuibao is also a typical bottom-line player. His defensive ability is not bad. He is good at flat hitting, spinning and chopping. He has a high first serve scoring rate and comprehensive and solid skills.

What is slightly lacking is that her attack is not so sharp. Many times she clearly has a chance to attack, but she does not seize it. Instead, she chooses a more stable and conservative hitting method. This may have something to do with her personality.

Fortunately, she is not sharp enough.Relying on his strong defensive ability, Lu Sheng still had a chance to breathe under the attack of Xiaokuibao.

You came and I went for a few rounds, Lu Sheng felt that the little cry bag seemed to have entered the state.

This will not work.

Nan Feng's advice sounded in her ears again: "Based on past performance, this player doesn't have that kind of aggressiveness on the court. She probably enjoys playing against defensive players the most. Let's fight slowly one by one, the world Peace. You try to increase your attack on the field, even if you make a few mistakes, at least it will make her not adapt to your style of play."

After the training of the game, Lu Sheng's topspin is getting better and better. Now she decides to change her offense and defense, and frequently uses topspin to hit Xiaokuibao.

However, the little crying bag is safe and secure!
As expected of the No.14 seed... Lu Sheng sighed a little.

When the little crying bag pulled Lu Sheng's ball back again, Lu Sheng suddenly rushed to the net and hit a volley, the landing was very shallow, and the little crying bag was not slow to react, and rushed over to save the ball.

Facing the flying tennis ball again, Lu Sheng slashed his backhand lightly, and threw a small ball in the opposite direction to the little crying bag.

After winning a ball, Lu Sheng smiled at her.Laugh a little provocatively.

After that, Lu Sheng relied on his running ability to increase his attacks in front of the net.It is worth mentioning that she has played so many clay court games that she has been able to use the slide very proficiently, which helps her brake back.In addition, her motor nerves are indeed well developed, and her explosive power at the start and the reaction speed of turning back when running are very fast.In Xu Zhiyao's words, it means "big acceleration".Nanfeng once used cars to describe the starting ability of players: "Some people are Xiali, some people are Mercedes-Benz."

"What about me?" Lu Sheng asked.

"You're a Lamborghini."

Therefore, although the clay court is a typical bottom-line confrontation court, at this moment, Lu Sheng is able to succeed in sneak attacks in front of the net by virtue of his running advantage.

This is a stupid method, and it is very risky, but from the effect point of view, her choice is right.

Every time Lu Sheng scored, he had to smile at Xiao Kui Bao in a high-profile manner to carry out a mental attack, which made Xiao Kui Bao's face look a little ugly.

The situation quickly turned around.According to Coach Nan's speculation, after the situation is reversed, it will probably be difficult for Xiaokubao to resist.It's not that the technology is bad, it's that the mentality is bad.

But the little crying bag is also very dignified, he kept his face sullen, and didn't cry until the end of the game.

Lu Sheng felt that it was not easy for her to endure until now.

At the end of the match, the two sides shook hands, and Lu Sheng saw the opponent's big blue eyes filled with tears, looking cute.Her mind twitched, and she raised her hand to touch the little crying bag's head.

Little crying bag: "..."

Lu Sheng: "..."

Don't ask her why she touched someone's head, she doesn't know either.

At the end of the third round, Lu Sheng advanced to the top sixteen.This result has exceeded her expectations, and the next step is to participate, the results of the competition are not important, hehe... because she will play the sixth seed in the fourth round!
No. [-] seed, ranked sixth in the world, just looking at the ranking is scary!
This No. 27 seed is also a big wonder.She is a well-known WTA "fine sister", 100 years old, became famous at a young age, and won two Grand Slam trophies.The reason why she is called Sister Jingfen is because this sister's state on the field is almost like schizophrenia. Today is good, tomorrow is bad, the day after tomorrow is good, and the day after tomorrow is bad... How good is it when it is good?Aguna, who ranked first in points, was swept by her in two sets.How bad is it when it's bad?She has also been KO'd by novices ranked over [-].

What a fickle woman...

However, the magic of this product is that it is obviously in an extremely unstable state, but it can still rank in the top ten every year, and even play in the year-end finals for most years.

Lu Sheng felt that the reason for this was because Miss Jingfen only performed well in important competitions and got high points.In less important events, played so-so, it looks like water is being released.

She shared her thoughts with the coaching staff, and both Muller and Nanfeng shook their heads.

Mueller: "You don't know her."

Lu Sheng: "???"

Nanfeng said: "There are many players like you mentioned in the professional arena, but she does not belong to this category. She is just a typical example of being strong when she is strong and weak when she is weak."

A strong opponent can stimulate her fighting spirit. On the contrary, if the opponent looks weak, she will take it lightly and lose easily.

Is that right?

Hope ignited in Lu Sheng's heart, "Then I..."

Muller: "You have a chance, Sheng, you are so weak."

Lu Sheng: "..." I thank you.

Lu Sheng: "Then what should I do?"

Muller: "Don't do anything, wait for her to lose to you."

Lu Sheng: "... Coach, are you being sarcastic?"

Muller: "Yes. I have to admit, you got smarter under my guidance."

By saying this, it felt like he was forcibly adding drama to himself.

Nan Feng said: "What you need to do is exactly the opposite of the last round. This time you show weakness first, let her relax her vigilance, and despise you consciously. Afterwards, you will have a greater chance of winning."

Mueller said quietly, "You are too treacherous."

Nanfeng was not ashamed but proud: "There is an old saying in China that soldiers never tire of deceit."

Soldiers never tire of deceit, Nan Feng had already told Lu Sheng, and he tried his best to persuade Lu Sheng to practice knives more.However, Lu Sheng's playing style is too straightforward, and his fake moves have not been practiced systematically. On the contrary, it's Xu Zhiyao...

Forget it, it's a good day to think about what he does.

The fourth game, 1/8 finals.According to Nanfeng's teaching, Lu Sheng first showed weakness to sister Jingfen, and then tried to fight back.I don't know if it's because of her showing weakness or because of Miss Jingfen herself. In short, Miss Jingfen's condition is really not good.What's more, Miss Jingfen's rough game is a bit difficult to use on the clay court.

Due to various reasons, Lu Sheng finally won this match.

Won!

Top eight!

In the top eight of the Grand Slam, she used to dare to hide in the quilt and flirt, but she didn't expect this day to come so soon!
Ah ha ha ha ha ha……

That night, Lu Sheng fell asleep smiling.
