Chapter 267 Intersection of Strengths and Weaknesses

Haas was in a very unhappy mood, and Zhang Guan successfully challenged the two consecutive ACEs, which was a big blow to Haas' morale. Fortunately, the referee's decision was to serve again, so Haas still had two chances to serve.

"What's the matter? With such a small gap, even the Hawkeye system needs to zoom in to see that it's an out-of-bounds ball. Zhang Guan actually challenged it directly. He was so sure that he really saw that it was an out-of-bounds ball. The ball, or is it completely blind?" Haas shook his head in confusion, looked at the field in front of him, and began to hesitate whether to serve the ball again according to the original landing point.

"Let's play another ball! I don't believe it's out of bounds!" Haas threw the ball and swung his racket, snorting coldly. The tennis ball flew out immediately, but was blocked by the net. Haas's serve made a mistake this time and did not pass the net .

"The strength is a bit weak." Haas shook his shoulders a little angrily. He felt that he had been affected by the previous two challenges, which led to a deviation in the control of strength.

After a mistake in the first serve, Haas started his second serve. Compared with the first serve, Haas's second serve must be much more conservative. The speed of the ball was about 20 kilometers slower than the first serve. Enhanced ball spin.

"Drink!" Haas yelled, boosting his morale. Zhang Guan on the opposite side also relied on his mobility to run to a more suitable position to catch the ball and catch the ball accurately with a forehand.

"Zhang Guan's forehand! Is it topspin or side spin?" Haas immediately became vigilant when he saw Zhang Guan using a forehand to catch the ball. Nadal kind of high spin ball.

However, Zhang Guan chose neither topspin nor side spin, but directly hit a diagonal forehand, and the landing point was chosen to be on the sideline.

"What? Zhang Guan received the ball and went straight back to the diagonal sideline. How could he make such a choice!" Zhang Guan's return of the serve was beyond Haas' expectations. He was caught off guard and hurriedly ran towards the Catch point.

This choice of Zhang Guan is definitely a very unreasonable behavior in professional tennis. Facing a second serve that is not very powerful, the best choice for the receiver must be to seek stability first. Wait for an opportunity to counterattack. It is very difficult to catch the ball and directly adjust the sideline of the diagonal line. Second, the turnover rate is extremely high. It has always been considered a very hard-working style of play. Players often use this style of play because the disadvantage is already very large, and they give up on themselves and fight for a goal. But now the game came to the second game, and Zhang Guan also kept his serve, so Haas never expected that Zhang Guan would catch the ball and directly hit the diagonal sideline.

Haas failed to catch up with the ball, and the ball fell in bounds, making the score 30-15.

"He was attacked by Zhang Guan, and he was lucky with this shot. He didn't go out of bounds, and he still needs to increase the rotation for the next ball!"

Haas continued to serve while thinking, the quality of the ball was still very good, but Zhang Guan still successfully received the ball, but the quality of the ball was not so good, and there was a chance to go online.

Haas did not choose to go online. He is a player who focuses on the bottom line, and he is also a player with very comprehensive skills. The way of playing before the net is still a bit too risky for Haas. It is far better to be safe on the bottom line. Haas is very similar to Federer. He is not very sure about the opportunities before the net, so he will not try to go online easily.

Haas hit back vigorously with his forehand, directly attacking Zhang Guan's backhand, and Zhang Guan also responded with a backhand, still very powerful.

"Sure enough, as expected before the game, although Zhang Guan's one-handed backhand, but the strength is close to the two-handed backhand of ordinary players. It seems that it is the right choice not to fight against him!" Haas returned the ball In the past, it was discovered that Zhang Guan on the opposite side had returned the ball with a limit point.

The ball hit the inner edge of the sideline. Haas rescued the ball in a thrilling manner, but gave Zhang Guan a chance to hit the net. Zhang Guan was not as cautious as Haas, he chose to go online without hesitation, and scored another point, the score came to 30-30.

For the next ball, Zhang Guan still chose a marginal position to return the ball, but the ball went out of bounds, and the score came to 40-30.

On the next goal, Zhang Guan made the same choice. The referee judged the penalty as an in-bounds ball, but Haas failed the challenge and the two sides scored equally.

Immediately after Haas served and scored, Haas took the lead.

Then Zhang Guan returned the ball out of bounds, and Haas also kept his serve.

...

After the end of the two rounds, the score of the first set of the two sides came to a 1:1 tie, and the game entered a short rest period.

Haas wiped the sweat from his brow, drank some water, and began to recall the last two games.

"Whether it's serving or catching, the choice of landing point is very hard. Zhang Guan's choice of this extreme style of play is really beyond my expectations. But his luck is really good, especially in the first game. All three challenges were successful, if not for those three challenges, I should be leading 2-0 now!"

"This style of play is too much luck. It is impossible for every ball to be on the line! Moreover, the referee's factor must also be considered. If you always play this kind of extreme ball, the chance of the referee's misjudgment will increase a lot. Although There is Hawkeye challenge, but Hawkeye is not unlimited use, once you fail, you will lose one chance, even if it is delayed to the tie-break, it is just an extra chance to challenge. I really don’t understand, Zhang Guan’s skills are obviously very good. Not bad, but why did he choose to play so hard. If he continues to play like this, I will definitely win!"

On the other side, Zhang Guan was also recalling the situation of the two sets just now, summing up his gains and losses.

"Today, the chance of the referee making a misjudgment is still quite high. Thanks to the Hawkeye system, otherwise the first game might have been ruled a loss. I think maybe even the referees are not used to the Hawkeye system. The number of times I challenged the Hawkeye Restrictions don’t matter to me, I succeeded 100% in the challenge, but it’s different for Haas.”

Zhang Guan glanced at Haas secretly, and then thought: "For Haas, every time a challenge fails, there is one less chance. Now the first set is only two rounds, and the time is still very long. Now For both of us, it is still a balance of power, we can challenge the Hawkeye to question the referee's misjudgment, but once one of the challenge opportunities is used up, the balance of power will be broken."

"So, we will continue to fight like this until Haas's challenges are exhausted! At that time, it will be the 'intersection' of our strengths and weaknesses!"

The first chapter is delivered, ask for a guaranteed monthly ticket, and ask for a guaranteed minimum recommendation ticket. Time flies so fast, the day after tomorrow is the weekend again, and I have to be explosive, I haven't saved the manuscript yet, I have to work hard to pass the test!
