south wind into my arms

Chapter 49
On the morning of March 3, the first round of competition kicked off at the indoor tennis court of the Municipal Sports Center.Except for the No. 6 seed in men's singles, which is played on the center court, other games are scattered on small courts.

There were not many spectators for Lu Sheng's match.Because the audience is all Chinese, and in this game, Chinese players are obviously at a disadvantage. If you watch it, you will probably see a tragedy where Chinese people are crushed.Although competition knows no borders, no one wants to see their compatriots abused by foreigners.

There were quite a few reporters.

Li Weiguo sat in the auditorium, there was no one around, it was relatively quiet.He chose this place on purpose, because he is not alone at the moment...

He still has a south wind in his pocket.

Nanfeng did not come to the scene in person.The two were talking on their mobile phones, and Li Weiguo was wearing a Bluetooth headset, broadcasting the game live to him.

This is also a helpless way. The relatively low level of the event is still the first round, and there is no live broadcast on the TV network.Li Weiguo asked Nanfeng, "Why don't you come here by yourself?"

Nanfeng's voice contained a hint of helplessness, "She doesn't want to see me now."

"Really," Li Weiguo asked with some incredible gossip flashing through his mind, "What did you do to that little girl?"

Nanfeng thought to himself, what did he do to me, okay...

He didn't answer, and Li Weiguo took it as his acquiescence to his wretchedness.After all, this is someone else's private matter, and Li Weiguo is too embarrassed to inquire about it, so he can only make up his own brain.

Lu Sheng walked onto the field with the racket on his back.She felt that her heart beat faster, driving the blood flow faster, and the nerve cord was like a taut string, tightly pulling her attention.

The normal heart that was agreed before the game has been fed to the dog, and her excitement at the moment is not transferred by human will.

The Ukrainian girl was more than ten centimeters taller than her. When the two shook hands, she looked up and saw that her opponent was winning.The fourth-seeded player will usually have a chance to win against an unknown pawn!

Lu Sheng took a deep breath and gave her a smile.

It was still the way of guessing the coin to determine the serve. Lu Sheng's bad luck was still in trouble, and she failed to grab the serve.

Well, the first round of serve belongs to the Ukrainian girl.

Kong Wu, a powerful Ukrainian girl, served a serve with full power, and the small tennis ball flew towards it like a high-speed shell. Due to the speed, people's eyes could hardly catch up with the small ball, leaving only a smudge on the iris. film.

Lu Sheng reacted in the right direction, but it was still too late.

ACE ball.

The first ball of the first game, an impeccable ACE ball, severely suppressed Lu Sheng's momentum like a heavy hammer.

Li Weiguo frowned, and said to Nanfeng with a little worry, "No, that little Ukrainian is too fierce, Lu Sheng won't be beaten with the first ball, right?" This kind of situation is not uncommon in the arena. Happened to those players with poor mental quality and little game experience.Li Weiguo felt that Lu Sheng fit these two points very well.

Nan Feng said firmly, "Lu Sheng is not that weak."

As if to confirm what he said, Lu Sheng caught the second ball steadily. Although the quality of her opponent's serve was too high, she had almost no attack power when returning the ball, but she did not lose the chain after all.

While broadcasting to Nanfeng live, Li Weiguo commented, "But you can't win this way, Lu Sheng is still playing too weakly. Look, I'll just say... Hey, Little Ukraine made a serve error."

The name of the Ukrainian girl is too difficult to pronounce, so Li Weiguo directly referred to her by her nationality.

Little Ukraine made a serve error because he wanted to ensure a super attack power, so that the ball would fall deep, close to the baseline or sideline.In this way, the risk of going out of bounds increases.

It doesn't matter if you miss a serve, you still have a second chance to serve.Generally, when it comes to the second serve, the players will be more restrained. After all, the most important thing is to serve successfully and avoid directly sending points.

Sure enough, Ukrainian's second serve was hardly threatening. Lu Sheng changed his forehand sideways, his racket was slightly off, and he slammed the ball back from bottom to top.Li Weiguo lost his voice, "What is it? Topspin? There's no need for topspin on the ball. Why don't you hit the net? Let Little Ukraine run over before hitting the net to create an opening. What a great opportunity to attack! It's a pity Pity……"

It is a pity that this topspin ball went out of bounds and made a mistake.

The technique of spinning the ball is not easy to control. Lu Sheng's technique in this area needs to be honed, and it is easy to show timidity when encountering strong opponents.

Li Weiguo was puzzled, and asked Nanfeng, "Do you know why she plays topspin?"

Nan Feng pondered for a while, then asked, "Her opponent has outstanding strength and monotonous technique. Isn't it appropriate to use more delicate techniques to disrupt the opponent's attack at this time? What's wrong?"

"Eh..." Li Weiguo was stunned for a moment, and then said in a huff, "But the premise is that Lu Sheng can play such delicate skills well! The problem is that she can't play well, look! This time it's chopping the ball, yo, it's off the net !” Li Weiguo became more and more angry.

After the topspin ball went out of bounds, Lu Sheng didn't hold back at all, created a chance to make a bold cut, and lost points off the net.

Li Weiguo said angrily, "Nanfeng, what the hell is going on with her? I think this child is usually quite smart, why doesn't she have a brain at the critical moment?"

It's hard to say about Nanfeng.He wasn't there, but based on his experience, Lu Sheng probably lost his mind again. After all, she used to lose her mind during a match, almost without exception.But Nanfeng was a bit protective, he didn't want to blame Lu Sheng in front of others, he just said, "Maybe she's looking for a touch."

"Find, hand, feel?" Li Weiguo laughed angrily.

"Well," Nan Feng tried to persuade him with some reason, "How many games has Lu Sheng played in total? She can only find her hand on the field."

Li Weiguo rolled his eyes.This reason is really TM funny.

In this way, Lu Sheng lost the first game 0:4.The second game was her serve. She pressed the center line with a large angle tangent on her first serve, which shocked Li Weiguo.I don't know if she was lucky or really skilled - Li Weiguo tends to the former, in short, this serve finally scored on the line.

Just like that, Lu Sheng responded with an aggressive ace in his serve.

Li Weiguo laughed, "It's really her."

Well, he was slapped in the face as soon as he said this sentence.Lu Sheng still took the technical route for the second ball, and then lost...

The third game...

Fourth inning...

Fifth inning...

Lu Sheng lost this set 2:6.She only held serve twice and never broke her opponent once.During this period, she has been playing spin and slice so stubbornly that unforced errors are so high that many points are lost.Compared with her points, Little Ukraine's heavy artillery attack will be overshadowed.

Li Weiguo became very calm after seeing it. He looked at Lu Sheng as a monster calmly, and sighed to Nanfeng, "I always feel that this kid is using someone's No. [-] seed as a training partner."

Nan Feng asked, "Did she make more mistakes than before in the last two rounds?"

"That's not true, she has already made enough mistakes, how could she add more... However, Lu Sheng's psychological quality is really nothing to say, she played so badly, she is still alive and well, she is still laughing, I just hehe... ..."

Nanfeng imagined how Lu Sheng squinted his eyes and bared his white teeth, and he couldn't help laughing. With the laughter, his heart trembled slightly.

I haven't seen her for a few days, I really want to see her.

It's time for a break, and the second set begins.

In this game, Lu Sheng lost three games in a row.However, these three rounds were a bit stalemate. The reason is that although Lu Sheng was still playing topspin, her turnover rate was reduced, and occasionally she could hit one or two high-quality returns, which made Little Ukraine helpless.

After all, delicate and changeable techniques are indeed her weakness.

So although Little Ukraine won three rounds, the wins in these three rounds were not smooth.As the turnover rate decreased, Lu Sheng's defensive power increased, and Little Ukraine was blocked by her increasingly fine line of defense, and the state of overwhelming momentum in the first set has gradually faded away.

Li Weiguo was a little uneasy, "Nanfeng, I now suspect that your point of view is right, this kid is really looking for a touch in the first set!"

"Let me tell." Nanfeng replied lightly.

"She is too calm. How can I find a hand while playing a game? I have seen the world. I have been teaching for 30 years, and I have never seen such a child."

Hearing Li Weiguo's praise of Lu Sheng, Nanfeng didn't respond on the surface, but he was a little proud in his heart.Well, I want to see her even more...

The third game was Lu Sheng's serve.Li Weiguo saw her serve a smooth and steady serve, and inexplicably felt a little regret for Lu Sheng, who was not acting like a monster, "Well, why didn't she serve the chip this time?"

Based on what he knew about Lu Sheng, Nanfeng explained, "She probably needs to adjust her tactics."

"Ok?"

"Before, I just practiced and tested, and corrected my shortcomings at the same time. After adjusting tactics, I will allocate and use techniques reasonably," Nanfeng said, pausing, and his voice was suddenly tinged with joy and faint excitement. just started."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Li Weiguo saw Lu Sheng put a short ball on the court, leading his opponent to the net.Li Weiguo couldn't help but said, "Finally hit the net. I told her that she should do this! Little Ukraine's actions are not flexible enough, hey, hey, good, volley! Beautiful!"

Lu Sheng's short ball was light and powerful, and Ukrainian was forced to run to the net to save the ball, creating a fighter for Lu Sheng. She intercepted the ball and smashed it, but Ukrainian couldn't react in time.

Lu Sheng's second serve was still full of peace and friendship. Li Weiguo seemed to understand her a little bit. He explained to Nanfeng, "I think Lu Sheng is deliberately controlling the serve. The high-speed serve hits Little Ukraine's arms, near the line or press the line. Serving is easy to make mistakes, so it is not worthwhile to create a threat on the serve, the most important thing is to serve effectively."

"Ah."

Li Weiguo was right this time.Lu Sheng's serve is mainly effective, and then he slowly seeks or creates offensive opportunities.For the second ball, she and Ukrainian kicked each other diagonally back and forth twice, followed by a straight ball. The opponent couldn't run enough and failed to save the ball.

On the third ball, Lu Sheng put a short ball to move Little Ukraine to the front of the net. She herself was not in the volley position, but guarded the bottom line. Seeing the opportunity, Little Ukraine did not draw to the bottom line this time, but also lightly. Luoluo hit the ball back towards the net, thinking that the opponent in such a position must be too late to save.Unexpectedly, Lu Sheng rushed over like a rocket. He had completed a series of movements such as gripping and swinging the racket during the acceleration, and he jumped to the net almost in the blink of an eye, and slammed the tennis ball to the bottom line.

"Okay!" Li Weiguo couldn't help applauding, and then said to Nanfeng, "I just said, she should have mobilized Little Ukraine in this way from the beginning."

"Not at first."

"Yes." Li Weiguo himself realized it.

It didn't work at first, because Lu Sheng wasn't ready for it at the beginning.She has played so few games, let alone against such a player.The premise of mobilizing the opponent to run is that you have to run yourself.Doing so without any preparation is a waste of energy.

So she left the opportunity behind, for the moment of counterattack.

In the face of powerful opponents, he can formulate tactics calmly, and can also execute them calmly and meticulously on the field, without being influenced by winning or losing at all, and will not be disturbed by the gains and losses in front of him.Losing is not depressed, winning can be restrained.

Such a calmness, what a terrifying calmness!

Li Weiguo sighed with emotion, "This child is so rare!"

"Ah."

"It's a pity, I learned too late."

"Coach Li, we have to look forward."

In the next few rounds, Lu Sheng continued to implement her battle formation: use skills to slow down the rhythm of the opponent's attack, mobilize the opponent to create opportunities for attack, and at the same time strengthen her own defense.

Her shots suddenly became thick and sharp, disrupting Little Ukraine.Lu Sheng played six rounds in a row and won this set.

Not only did she win, because she won six rounds in a row, she also gave her opponent an "invisible zero egg".

By the end of the last game, little Ukraine's mood was not quite right.She slammed the racket against the net, raised her head and let out a roar to vent her emotions.

"Like Tarzan of the Ape," Li Weiguo joked unkindly, and then said to Nanfeng, "Invincible in the front, hit head-on in the back, this kind of psychological gap is too big, it's so pitiful...I said, do you think Lu Sheng would put this kind of Psychological attacks are also taken into account?"

Nanfeng didn't answer.

Li Weiguo said to himself, "I think it's possible. This kid Lu Sheng uses his brains to play... Can you say something? Hello? Hello?"

He was a little strange, took out his phone and looked, well, it's out of battery.

Nan Feng couldn't hear the most critical game.It's so pathetic.

Nanfeng was closed in the office for another half an hour, when the assistant came in to deliver a cup of coffee, just as he put down the coffee, the assistant's cell phone rang.Nanfeng grabbed his mobile phone with a "whoosh".

The assistant was taken aback.

"Cough." Realizing that it wasn't his phone's ringtone, Nan Feng was a little embarrassed, "Go out first."

After waiting for a while, he waited for a call.

The caller ID is Lu Sheng.

As soon as Nanfeng saw the two words on the caller ID, his mood suddenly improved. He took a deep breath, picked up the phone, and tried to make his voice as steady and calm as possible: "Hello?"

"Hey!" There was a rough man's voice over there, the man chuckled and said in a low voice, "Nanfeng, why are you so gentle all of a sudden, I have goosebumps..."

Nan Feng twitched the corner of his mouth in disappointment, and his voice became hard: "Coach Li?"

"Well, it was me. Let me tell you, Lu Sheng won the third set. That little Ukraine has been completely disrupted, and the final state has not been adjusted."

Nan Feng thought to himself, it was expected.

Li Weiguo said, "Do you want to talk to Lu Sheng?"

"it is good."

"Lu Sheng, Lu Sheng... Oh, Lu Sheng went to find Xu Zhiyao. I'll ask her to call you back later."

Nan Feng suddenly had an unknown fire in his heart, he gritted his teeth: "Good-bye."
