south wind into my arms

Chapter 25 A hug

After Lu Sheng lost the second set, all the relatives and friends from the elite online school on the opposite side stood up, holding the school flag and singing, the momentum was very loud.In line with the singing, they also raised their hands and made specific movements, which were uniform, like a wave.

Ding Xiaoxiao: "The boy in the hair salon is doing morning exercises!"

Xu Zhiyao: "Let's do a square dance!"

Ding Xiaoxiao: "Don't stop!"

Xu Zhiyao: "Let's do it again!"

Someone over there gave them the middle finger.

Director Ding was a little anxious. Looking at Lu Sheng who was resting on the sidelines, he shook his head and said, "What's going on with Lu Sheng? How did he fight like this? Is it okay?"

A deep voice came, the voice was tense, implying displeasure: "You do what you want."

Director Ding turned his head following the line of voice, and saw Nan Feng's displeased side face.

In Director Ding's impression, although Nanfeng has a cold personality, he has always been very polite, and he rarely speaks ruthlessly like he is now.

Director Ding thought, forget it, he is in a bad mood, so I don't care about him.

When Ding Xiaoxiao heard her father say that, she also frowned, "Dad, why don't you say that, athletes are under a lot of pressure on the field, and we, as bystanders, can't understand it. Shengsheng is only 16 years old, and she has already done it well." Very good!"

Woo, even the precious daughter is on the side of others... Director Ding is a little depressed.

When Lu Sheng was resting, he had been doing mental construction.Abandon distracting thoughts, concentrate on the game, abandon distracting thoughts, concentrate on the game...

In fact, she didn't have so many distracting thoughts when she was resting, but as soon as she came on stage...

She was depressed and helpless.

She put down the mineral water bottle, unscrewed another water bottle, and took a few sips of juice.Lu Sheng didn't like the taste of electrolyte drinks, so Nanfeng bought her favorite peaches and apples, and bananas, the king of potassium supplements, and then took them to the cafeteria to squeeze the juice for her to drink on the field.Juice can quickly help her replenish sugar, minerals, and vitamins, and it's delicious.

After she finished drinking the juice, the sweet and sour fragrance of the mixed juice remained between her lips and teeth, and then she looked down at the transparent bottle in a daze.

If she continued to lose like this, she would definitely not be reconciled.Who doesn't want to win when they step onto the field? The saying "friendship first, competition second" is for people who are not champions, but the truth is, no one wants to be a champion.

But how was she going to win when she couldn't control her mind at all?
She was always distracted, so she couldn't hit the ball that could have been played well, and couldn't avoid the mistakes that could have been avoided.

So which balls can she play well and avoid mistakes?

Lu Sheng couldn't help thinking about the balls she didn't make a mistake in the last set.Flat shots, diagonal shots, volleys, lobs...it's all easy.

It couldn't be simpler.

The third set begins.

This set started with Lu Sheng serving.She sent the ball into the range of Wang Ruixue's forehand, and Wang Ruixue hit her backhand with her forehand smoothly. Lu Sheng stepped into the forehand again like the first ball in the first set.Wang Ruixue was very smart this time. When she saw Lu Sheng raise her leg, she immediately moved a few steps to the left, ready to save the ball at any time.

However, this time Lu Sheng didn't hit a straight shot. She changed her forehand painstakingly, but just returned a diagonal shot again.

Wang Ruixue: "..." Damn it was tricked again.

Xu Zhiyao and Ding Xiaoxiao cheered for a while, and Xu Zhiyao asked, "Coach, is this Lu Sheng's fake move? It's more real than real!"

"That's real action."

"what?"

"Lu Sheng, she just wanted to hit a corner kick. The reason why she changed her forehand is probably because it is easier to control."

"I do not believe."

Nan Feng shook his head lightly, "I also hope that it was Lu Sheng's fake move. However, with her personality, she still can't make fake moves at this stage."

Here, Lu Sheng had just played a ball, Wang Ruixue seemed a little annoyed, and attacked hard with the second ball, hit a smash, the ball was very fast, and Lu Sheng couldn't save it.

Xu Zhiyao found out that his younger sister's condition had not suddenly improved, so he shut up.

The two players were back and forth on the court, and Lu Sheng relied on his serving advantage to only hit Deuce once and won the round.Well, it went well.

In this round, Xu Zhiyao always felt an indescribable weirdness.What is so strange about it?

He looked at Lu Sheng's slender figure on the field with his chin resting on his chin, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "I know what's weird! Junior sister is still in a bad state, and her attack is not very efficient, but she..."

"But her error rate has also decreased." Nanfeng continued.

Xu Zhiyao nodded sharply, "Yes!"

Ding Xiaoxiao also suddenly said after listening to the two of them, "Yes, no wonder! But, why is it like this?"

Nan Feng narrowed his eyes, "Because she streamlined her technique."

Streamlined techniques, only playing basic, high-fault-tolerant balls, so that although the attack power is reduced, its own loopholes are also reduced.

"This child..." Nan Feng's expression suddenly became a little complicated.The child did not adjust her state, but chose a style of play that was more suitable for her state.A style of play that has its own loopholes, but it happened to fill up her loopholes at this time.Really... don't know if this is smart or stupid.

Would you rather sacrifice technology than adjust state?

Is it unwilling, or can't?

Nan Feng squinted his eyes, staring at the slender figure on the field with heavy eyes.

Xu Zhiyao was a little worried, "This method is too risky. Fortunately, Wang Ruixue is the kind of person who has no obvious advantages in attack and defense. At least Lu Sheng can take advantage of it, otherwise he will suffer a lot."

Ding Xiaoxiao also nodded and said, "Yes, she is too courageous."

Nanfeng suddenly wanted to laugh.How old is this little girl, why does she have the air of a desperado?Who did you learn from?
Xu Zhiyao suddenly said in a low voice, very uncertainly: "Coach, you...are you laughing?"

Nanfeng glanced at him.

Xu Zhiyao immediately sat upright without looking sideways, "Watch the game!"

The second game was Wang Ruixue's serve, which she kept.

Then she and Lu Sheng won each other game by game. Both of them could keep their serve, but they couldn't break the opponent's serve.

The situation is at a stalemate.

At this time, Xu Zhiyao felt something was wrong again: "Why is Wang Ruixue playing as conservatively as her junior sister? Shouldn't she seize the opportunity to actively attack?"

"It's very simple. She is not sure of winning Lu Sheng. After an active attack, it is more likely to have defensive loopholes. If Lu Sheng seizes the opportunity to fight against the army at this time, then she will lose."

Xu Zhiyao nodded, then shook his head again, "But Wang Ruixue can't win if he doesn't make progress like this!"

"I can't win, but at least I can guarantee that I won't lose, and I can use this to delay."

"procrastination?"

"Yes," Nan Feng nodded, "Wang Ruixue hopes to rely on her physical strength to drag the game down. When Lu Sheng is exhausted and exhausted, she will go all out to attack...she is guiding the rhythm of the game."

"My God, she's so insidious!" Ding Xiaoxiao was shocked, "What should I do, Dad, I'm so nervous!"

Director Ding looked anxious to urinate, "Girl, I'm also very nervous..."

Xu Zhiyao frowned, and couldn't help but clenched his fists.He said to himself, "From this point of view, Junior Sister is really in danger. Wang Ruixue is much stronger than Junior Sister! That Junior Sister with thin arms and thin legs, ahhhhh!"

Nanfeng didn't speak.

Everything was exactly as Nan Feng expected, the two players were back and forth on the field, and the situation was even and steady. Before they knew it, the game lasted for 10 to 6 minutes.Almost equal to the sum of the time of the first two sets.The scores of each other were also clinging to each other. Lu Sheng took a 5:[-] lead for a round and got the match point, but Wang Ruixue immediately took back a round.

The situation became 6:6.

In a short game, after a 7-2 draw, a "tie-break" will be added, and the winner will be determined by the tie-break.In a tie-break, a player wins the set by winning [-] points and leading the opponent by more than [-] points.If the opponent is less than two points ahead, the competition will continue until one side leads by two points.

For the sake of fairness, there is no fixed server in the tie-break.Except for the first ball, the two sides exchange the right to serve every two balls played.Every six balls are played, the field is changed.

Now, Wang Ruixue finally dragged Lu Sheng into the tie-break.At this time, the game had been going on for nearly two hours, Lu Sheng's pale pink jersey was almost completely soaked, and his wheat-colored skin was covered with a layer of sweat, which shone slightly in the sun.The sweat on her palm soaked the racket, and she couldn't even wipe it off, so she had to change to another racket.

very tired.His footsteps were heavy, his body and mind were exhausted, and he felt like a pot of charcoal fire that was about to burn out. The flame was gone, only ashes remained.

During the break, she glanced at Wang Ruixue.The latter was drinking a drink, and when she saw Lu Sheng looking at her, she smiled at Lu Sheng.

That is a confident smile.

Lu Sheng stopped looking at her and raised his head to take a big sip of juice.

In the auditorium, Nan Feng was almost annoyed to death.

——Ding Xiaoxiao pulled his left arm, Xu Zhiyao pulled his right arm, and the two pinched him nervously, as if convulsing.

Ding Xiaoxiao: "Nanfeng, do you think Shengsheng will win?"

Xu Zhiyao: "Coach, junior sister is already tired!"

Ding Xiaoxiao: "That Wang Ruixue is like a cow, not tired at all!"

Xu Zhiyao: "Junior Sister is too stupid, why don't you call me an injury stop, at least I can take a rest, get a massage or something."

Ding Xiaoxiao blabla...

Xu Zhiyao blabla...

Nanfeng pulled out his left arm forcefully, grabbed Ding Xiaoxiao's hand, and pulled out his right arm forcefully, grabbed Xu Zhiyao's hand instead, and then held their hands tightly, tightly .

——The snake spirit disease should be with the snake spirit disease.

The rest time is coming soon, and the deciding game of this game is about to begin.

Lu Sheng took the new racket, held the handle and slapped the tennis ball on the ground a few times, looking for the feel.She served the first ball. She stood outside the serving line, holding the racket, and looked up.The sun was shining brightly, the sky was very blue, so blue that it was high and empty.The air in the arena was a little impetuous, and the flags were fluttering in the auditorium. The bright colors stimulated her eyes.

She said to herself, I will persist.

I don't have much, all I can do is persevere.

At the start of the game, she jumped to serve the first ball.The landing point of the ball was relatively conservative, but Wang Ruixue soon discovered that Lu Sheng's jumping height did not decrease, nor did the ball speed decrease!

Her physical strength has not been exhausted as she estimated!

Impossible, what's going on, are you just holding on?
After playing the ball for two rounds, Wang Ruixue suddenly increased his attack power, Lu Sheng saved the ball twice, and the third time, before she could save, Wang Ruixue made a mistake.

In tennis, a mistake made by the opponent's powerful attack is called a "forced mistake", and a mistake made during an active attack is called an "unforced mistake", that is, an active score.Wang Ruixue's mistake this time gave Lu Sheng points directly.

1:0, Lu Sheng saved his serve in a thrilling manner.

The tie-break is a modern and innovative style of play. The scoring method is not the ancient dial style, but a simple 1, 2, 3, and so on.

The next two goals were scored by Wang Ruixue.Wang Ruixue stepped up her attack, and this time she made no mistakes and saved both serves.Then when Lu Sheng served, she also kept her own serve.

The situation became stalemate again, and the score was tight.

In the auditorium, Ding Xiaoxiao asked strangely, "What's going on? Why did it become like this again?"

Nanfeng replied, "This situation is what Xu Zhiyao imagined just now. Wang Ruixue is aggressive and aggressive."

"So now this result confirms your words again? I find that your vision is quite poisonous!"

Xu Zhiyao discovered the subtlety of the problem, "But it was just now, and now, junior sister is already tired!" Having said this, he rolled his eyes, and suddenly said, "Ah, so junior sister is the same as before. ? Is her physical strength so good?"

"No, she's just... struggling." Nan Feng frowned, sighed imperceptibly, and whispered to himself, "Silly boy."

Xu Zhiyao stared blankly at Lu Sheng in the distance, and asked, "Her, how long can she last?"

"do not know."

"Junior Sister, she... is so tired and still holding on, it's too strong, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it..."

"The whole world knows you can't do it."

"..."

How long can it last, Lu Sheng doesn't know about this question.She just gritted her teeth and insisted.

The score kept biting down point by point, and soon it reached 5:6, with Wang Ruixue taking the lead for the time being.Next it was Lu Sheng's turn to serve.

If she can't keep this serve, Wang Ruixue will win the tie-break with a score of 7:5, and the game will end.

Therefore, she must guarantee this serve.

Wang Ruixue originally thought that Lu Sheng would serve a hard serve at such a crucial match point, but she didn't expect her to be so conservative and fly a soft ball over.

Hmm, is it the limit?Can't run?
After two rounds, when the two were standing in a straight line, Wang Ruixue volleyed diagonally with all his strength, and Lu Sheng rushed over to rescue him in a hurry.

Wang Ruixue is not a perpetual motion machine either, and now her hitting power has also decreased, and the speed of the ball is not considered fast.Lu Sheng held the racket and rushed towards the tennis ball... There is still a chance, right?Can you make it in time?

in time!
She almost didn't wait to stand still and swung the racket. Seeing that she was about to hit the ball, at this moment, the sole of her foot suddenly slipped!
The center of gravity is unstable, and the racket shakes accordingly, and the tennis ball finally hits the ball frame after a slight miss.

After all, it still won't work...

At that moment, Lu Sheng couldn't tell what he was feeling, he was disappointed and annoyed, his heart was cold and empty.She fell, and her vision was in chaos, like a messy movie lens.She seemed to hear the exclamation of the audience, and saw all Shuqing's relatives and friends stand up anxiously.

And, she also saw that after being hit by the ball frame, the yellow-green tennis ball flew back crookedly, landed on the edge of the net belt impartially, paused, and slid down the net.

Slip, arrive, have, face, face, go...

There was silence for a few seconds, and then an uproar broke out.Some were amazed, some were cursed, some were photographed, and of course some cheered.

Ding Xiaoxiao: "Ahhhhhh! Wipe the tennis ball, wipe the tennis ball, wipe the tennis ball!"

Xu Zhiyao: "Junior sister! Are you okay, junior sister? Do you want to see a doctor?!"

Strictly speaking, it's really a tennis ball.In a tennis match, except for the fact that it is invalid to wipe the net with the serve, it has no effect when the tennis ball hits the net at other times, and you can continue to play.

But this ball, it's not just as simple as wiping a tennis ball.

After it rubbed against the net, it fell directly along the net, because the net cushioned the force, and it hardly rebounded after falling.Even the Jade Emperor couldn't save this kind of ball.

There are many high-swing techniques in tennis. No matter how perfect a technique is, there will be a way to crack it, at least in theory.There is only this kind of wiping tennis balls, which has no solution.

It's not about technology, it's about luck.

Lu Sheng was lying on the ground with a blank expression on his face, but his heart was filled with turmoil: Even God is helping her!
Even God is helping her, so what reason can she not win?

She got up from the ground and signaled to the audience that she was fine.Then she took the tennis ball from the staff, held the racket in one hand, gritted her teeth, and her eyes were like lightning.

This time it was her serve.

When she took off, she seemed to see the panic in Wang Ruixue's eyes.She pursed her lips and swung the racket slightly at an angle. The tennis ball was hit, and the trajectory opened a large angle. After flying over the net, it landed near the sideline.

A perfect outside corner serve.

Standing near the center line, Wang Ruixue was completely defenseless against Lu Sheng's high-quality shots, and her running and swing were more than half a beat slower.

ACE ball!
This is a very beautiful ACE ball, and it is also the first ACE ball in this game.

In an instant, the score became 7:6, and Lu Sheng was only one point away.

The next ball was sent by Wang Ruixue.In such a situation, she had to keep the ball, but she seemed to have lost her fighting spirit. After two rounds, Lu Sheng ran to the net and made a crisp volley, and she was powerless.

At the end of the game, Lu Sheng won two out of three sets and won the U18 women's tennis singles championship in the City Games.

Everyone in the audience, except those from the elite online school, was applauding for her.

Wang Ruixue came over to shake hands with her.Thinking of his lucky ball, Lu Sheng felt a little apologetic, held her hand and said, "I'm sorry."

Wang Ruixue shook her head, "Luck is also a part of strength, congratulations."

"Thank you."

"Lu Sheng, you are great, you can definitely go further." Wang Ruixue's eyes rolled with tears.

Lu Sheng was startled, and said, "You, you can do it too..."

"I won't, I will take the college entrance examination next year. This is my last competition."

"Ah?" Lu Sheng suddenly felt a little sad, "Then you, do your best for the exam!"

"Well, you too, come on!"

After the referee announced the result of the game, there were still a few minutes before the award ceremony.Lu Sheng ran outside the arena, and the people from Shuqing Sports School had already walked down from the auditorium.Ding Xiaoxiao was the first to run over and hug Lu Sheng, "Shengsheng, you're great! I'm proud of you!" Her chest was very plump, and it pressed Lu Sheng a little, um, chest tightness.

After Ding Xiaoxiao put her down, Xu Zhiyao opened his arms and stepped forward, "Junior Sister, you are awesome! I am proud of you!"

Lu Sheng hugged him back and let go immediately.

Then she walked in front of Nanfeng, lowered her head, her eyes fell on the toes of his clean shoes, not daring to look at him.

"Lu Sheng." Nan Feng called her suddenly, with a low voice.

"Huh?" Lu Sheng looked up at him.

His eyes are smiling, warm and beautiful, like peach blossoms blooming in ten miles.Suddenly, he pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly, and whispered in her ear: "You are great, I am proud of you."

Lu Sheng suddenly felt tight in his chest, his eyes were astringent, his nose was sore, and his heart was unreasonably soft.She wrapped her arms around his waist, buried her face in his chest, and her nostrils were full of his breath.Clean, mild, mixed with a touch of tobacco.

She buried herself in his arms like a well-behaved bird, thinking to herself, this sentence was worth it.
