Chapter 57 Between Victory and Loss
Not long after the start of the second set, Xu Zhiyao did his old trick again. Seeing the tennis ball spinning towards him, Luo Lingzhi sneered, and hit the backhand lightly, and the return ball passed the net smoothly. It was really not caught by Lu Sheng.

OK, that's it.Luo Lingzhi's spirit shook, and he strengthened his guess.

The two sides clashed several times. After the first game, the Hangzhou team kept their serve very smoothly.

Opponents look scary, and once the trick is found, the tiger becomes paper.Luo Lingzhi and Sang Chu's confidence doubled, and their tense faces relaxed at the end of the first set.

In the second round, Xu Zhiyao served the ball. He looked at the two relaxed faces on the opposite side with a blank face, and said to Lu Sheng, "Junior Sister, change the team."

"Ah."

After serving the ball, the formation changed immediately, with Xu Zhiyao at the front and Lu Sheng at the back.This is their regular formation, Luo Lingzhi and Sang Chu were slightly relieved when they saw this.Fortunately, no other moths emerged.

Sure enough, Qian donkey is out of skills?Ah!
Luo Lingzhi was full of energy, calling for his life.Lu Sheng was exhausted and gritted his teeth.Luo Lingzhi's shots were sharp and tricky. If Lu Sheng faced her alone, he would definitely be unable to compete.Fortunately, Xu Zhiyao didn't eat dry food, so I took a cold breath to stop her and relieve her some pressure.At this time, Xu Zhiyao likes to use slices for blocking.Sliced ​​balls come with heavy spin, and always land in front of the net. This kind of ball is very difficult to catch.

Cutting the ball is also risky, so I won’t mention its own technical requirements. The key is that the movement of cutting the ball is obvious, and the opponent will prepare in advance.

However, this risk mainly occurs in singles.As for the doubles, Lu Sheng ran behind like a spinning top, leaving Xu Zhiyao completely free from worries.

So he played flower work with confidence and boldness.

Sang Chu couldn't believe that Xu Zhiyao could harm his thin female partner so much, and what he couldn't believe was that Xu Zhiyao's chopping methods were so varied, the angle of rotation, speed, and power of hitting the ball. It's different every time, and it's hard to guard against.

And, if he's not mistaken, the dude is flicking his wrists when he's playing.He dared to shake his wrist, how could he still not get hurt? !
Sang Chul's mental activity is a bit much.He has quite a lot of experience in the game, but it was the first time he encountered Xu Zhiyao's purely technical operation like no money, and he was a bit rusty in fighting.Moreover, the mental pressure is really great...

Therefore, in this round, Lu Sheng managed to withstand Luo Lingzhi, but Sang Chu failed to withstand Xu Zhiyao.After two deuces, he went off the net when receiving the chip, and it was a 1:1 draw.

It's not easy for Lu Sheng and the others to keep their hair.After all, their skills are not as good as others, they can only try their best to maximize the advantages they can get, and the result is a single style of play.If a method is used repeatedly, it will always be detected by the opponent and an effective strategy will be formulated.

So in the end, Luo Lingzhi was actually guarding against Xu Zhiyao, and the chances for Xu Zhiyao to block the ball became less and less.

What's more, Lu Sheng had to face Luo Lingzhi's strong attack, and also had to provide Xu Zhiyao with a strong backing. Her physical strength was exhausted.

So this strategy is not a long-term solution.

In the third game, Luo Lingzhi and Sang Chu had become immune to their previous style of play, so Lu Sheng and the others... changed their formation again.

This time it was a left-right formation, the formation they chose when they first participated in the City Games.

Having both offense and defense means that neither attack ability nor defense ability can be used to the extreme. What's more, Luo Lingzhi has a strong backhand. This formation can only be said to be a waste against her.

But Lu Sheng and Xu Zhiyao chose this way.

Luo Lingzhi doubted that there was really nothing they could do this time, but considering that the opponents in this match always caught her by surprise, she didn't dare to be careless.

After playing a few rounds, apart from feeling that the opponent cooperates very well, there seems to be nothing abnormal?
Lu Sheng's frontal attack ability was not strong enough, but he grasped the space and timing very well. With the assistance of Xu Zhiyao, he snatched 30 points from the opponent.

At 40:30, as long as Luo Lingzhi and the others win another goal, they can declare victory in this game.

She and Sang Chul are still very confident.

The ball flew back and forth on both courts smoothly. Luo Lingzhi's strong attack was barely blocked by Lu Sheng. Will go out of bounds, she jumped up and made a smash, Xu Zhiyao also reacted quickly, rushing to the net to intercept.

With such a high ball speed, he didn't have time to slice the ball. The point of the interception was almost to return the same way, but it was also a smash, and it was smashed towards the net.

When Sang Chu rushed over to save the ball, Luo Lingzhi saw that she, him, and Xu Zhiyao were almost in a line, and suddenly exclaimed: "It's a trick!"

Sure enough, Sang Chu's return ball was stopped by Lu Sheng, and he hit it far to the outer corner of the right half.

Because of the mobilization of Xu Zhiyao's interception just now, both Sang Chu and Luo Lingzhi were in the left half, and there was a large gap in the right half, so Lu Sheng caught the ball well and scored easily.Tied the score to Deuce.

Luo Lingzhi felt that he might be making a fuss.It is not uncommon to lose such points in a doubles match, the opponent may not be doing it on purpose...

But in the next round, she and Sang Chu had the same type of vacancy again, and the alarm bell immediately rang in her mind: it was definitely on purpose!
The two of them are consciously choosing their spots, moving their opponents, and creating space.

And Lu Sheng reacts quickly and grasps the opportunity very firmly. Once there is a large gap, her scoring ability will increase exponentially.

During the break between rounds, Luo Lingzhi told Sang Chu his thoughts.Sang Chu also understood at this moment that although the opponent was not strong enough, he was full of cleverness.Their tricks are bluffing at first glance, but after a thorough analysis, there are not no ways to deal with them.

Therefore, the soldiers come to block, and the water comes to cover it.

Fortunately, Lu Sheng and Xu Zhiyao didn't play any new tricks.They were really at their wit's end this time, so they combined the previous tricks to play. Although Sang Chu and Luo Lingzhi knew it in their hearts, they were inexperienced in dealing with it, and the field was changing rapidly. Sometimes it was too late to react—not every time. Everyone can keep up with Xu Zhiyao's rhythm, except for Lu Sheng.Fortunately, the two of Luo Lingzhi have excellent skills, and they cooperate well.

So the next scene is a bit stalemate.Both sides had victories, and Luo Lingzhi and the others even broke the opponent's serve once, thus tying the game.

But Lu Sheng and Xu Zhiyao played too hard, and Luo Lingzhi was a little annoyed, wishing that an ace ball could hit their faces directly.Sang Chu was afraid that she would lose control, and reminded her every time she played a ball, "Lingzhi, calm down, keep a clear head. Only a clear mind can win."

Yes, you have to be clear-headed to win the game, because it takes too much brainpower to play against the two guys on the opposite side!
After two deuces in the ninth game, it was game point.Sang Chu stood on the left side of the net and intercepted a ball. Xu Zhiyao ran after the ball. Judging from his preparatory actions, he should have shot a short ball towards Sang Chu's right half.At this time, Sang Chu probably couldn't save the ball in time. Luo Lingzhi, who was near the serving line in the right half, immediately ran to the net.

Then Xu Zhiyao stopped suddenly, turned around and went back.

gone back……

My steps are as calm as a mystery...

The tennis ball didn't touch Xu Zhiyao's racket, and flew straight to Lu Sheng's side.At this moment, both Sang Chu and Luo Lingzhi are in front of the net, and the bottom line is wide open. This situation is like a beautiful girl taking off her clothes and waving the flag and shouting "Come and rape me", how could Lu Sheng miss this kind of opportunity? Volley, seal the victory.

Luo Lingzhi blurted out: "Your uncle!"

She wasn't necessarily scolding Xu Zhiyao, she was probably just venting her emotions, but she was warned by the referee.

At the end of the break, her eyes were red.angry.

At this moment, Lu Sheng and the others temporarily lead by one game 6-5.The next game is very critical for both sides. If Lu Sheng and Xu Zhiyao win, they will win directly from the game.For Luo Lingzhi and Sang Chu, this game is a game of life and death.If you lose, you will lose everything. If you win, you still have a chance to come back.

So Luo Lingzhi told himself that this game must be won, only won.

Under great pressure, people may create miracles, or they may fail miserably.

The key is whether you can maintain absolute concentration under tremendous pressure.

Luo Ling was aggrieved after losing the previous round, and he was already in a bad mood, but this round was even more anxious, and his overall state was not as good as before.

The more you want to win, the harder it is.

She felt that playing has never been so difficult, with more mistakes, lower efficiency, unable to attack, and unable to defend.

Lu Sheng and Xu Zhiyao ended perfectly with a love game in the last round and became the champions of the tennis mixed doubles competition in this National City Games.They are the biggest dark horses in this tennis match. They have played triumphant songs all the way and are invincible. From being unknown to the national champions, they only took four days.

The audience stood up and cheered and applauded for this pair of champions.Nanfeng's applause drowned out the crowd.He looked at the glorious Lu Sheng on the court, and for no reason, his eyes became hot.

His little girl has really grown up.
