Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 15 Give me the ball, I want to go home

"Chen Ran, come on, bring me a championship for my brother!" Hu Jie abided by his previous agreement and roared loudly, regardless of the strange looks of others.

champion?

The onlookers, especially the staff of the organizing committee, all looked surprised.

The only junior high school student who came to sign up for the competition actually wanted to win the championship?Or is it that his companion is a bit ignorant and shouting nonsense?

"It's that kid!" A young man recognized Chen Ran in the crowd.

This person is the flat-headed guy who had training experience with Chen Ran last week. Chen Ran sent him a reverse "love game" in his serve game.

"That kid Zhang Lie is so unlucky." Brother Flathead couldn't help but sigh slightly. In his impression, Zhang Lie's level was on par with his own, and it was impossible to beat the guy opposite him.

The opponent's advantage is that he is younger than me, and his relatives have a professional tennis background.

Hey, that’s weird!This kid obviously has some background, how could he meet such a powerful opponent in the lottery?

Brother Pingtou thought for a moment and suddenly understood.

That kid was a junior high school student, and Zhang Lie probably thought that he was a soft persimmon.

Frankly speaking, this guy with a flat head also wants to get a "provincial athlete" certificate, but unfortunately he is already too old.

"Hey, there's a good show to watch!"

The flat-headed brother suddenly showed a gloating expression.

On the other side, Chen Ran had finished his warm-up, holding the racket, walking lightly, and was about to start the game.

During the coin toss, he got the chance to serve first.

Looking at the arrogant expression on the other side, who thought he had a chance to win, Chen Ran couldn't help but feel a little funny.

If he knew that he, the only junior high school student, was the most difficult to deal with among all the players, he didn't know what his expression would be.

Last night, Chen Ran practiced another set with his coach Zhang Depei in the "simulation training ground", and the total score was 2:6.

This means that in his four service games, even when facing top players like Zhang Depei, he was able to secure serve twice.

The opponent in front of him didn't even have the slightest chance to break serve.

Bang, bang, bang, Chen Ran patted the tennis ball gently while observing the opponent's position.

Bend your knees, kick on the ground, throw the ball!
Chen Ran's body was like a big bow, then he waved his arms, quickly raised the racket, and smashed the tennis ball out with all his strength.

Zhang Lie on the opposite side only felt a green light flashing in front of him, and his body did not react at all.

The serve scores directly, a perfect ACE ball!
In the link of serving and receiving, if the serve is not touched by the opponent, it will directly form a dead ball, which is called "ACE". This is called "serve direct score", referred to as "serve straight".

"It's actually an ACE ball!"

"What the hell, this is just a youth tennis match, and there is an ace ball!"

"The speed of the ball just now was 180 kilometers!"

"Too brutal!"

"How can you participate in this kind of competition at this level?"

During this period, Liu Cixin's "Three-Body Problem" had not yet appeared, otherwise the onlookers present would have blurted out the words "dimensionality reduction strike."

The crowd soon burst into warm applause.

At this moment, Zhang Lie, who was standing opposite Chen Ran, woke up as if from a dream.

The serving action and the speed of the ball are at least at the level of the provincial team. Why are you participating in a competition of this level? This is cheating!

Chen Ran's expression remained extremely calm, as if such a high-quality serve was normal for him.

"Score..." Hu Jie, who was watching the game in the crowd, finally realized and shouted excitedly, "Good goal!" But after he saw the analogy, he asked a ridiculous question: "Why 15 It’s 0 to 1, not 0 to 15. Could it be that if you score a serve, you get 3 points directly? It’s amazing, basketball only has 15-pointers, but tennis actually has [-]-pointers!”

The group of people around him looked at him like he was an idiot.

Chen Ran also had a dark look on his face, "Don't you fucking say you know me."

"That person's name is Chen Ran, he's a classmate and he's my buddy!"

Ruined……

For such a professional player, the companion he brought was actually such a layman.

Fortunately, Chen Ran's mental age is that of a middle-aged man in his 30s, and he has been able to completely keep his emotions and anger in check for such an episode.

After completing an ACE serve, he walked directly to the other section of the service line without saying a word.

Tennis rules stipulate that after each ball is played, the serving position must be changed. The right side of the court is called the first area, and the left side is called the second area.

This time, Chen Ran served a topspin ball.

The speed of the ball seemed to be unhurried, but after it landed on the ground, it formed a fast topspin. The same speed accelerated a few minutes, and flew towards Zhang Lie's position. He was caught off guard and immediately swung back, and the ball went out directly. The outside world.

30: 0.

Chen Ran walked to the first serving area without even looking up.

The third ball was another clean ACE ball with a tricky angle. The opponent still looked at the ball and did not react at all.

40: 0.

Visible to the naked eye, the guy on the opposite side had sweat all over his cheeks without even a moment of stalemate, as if a huge pressure had enveloped him.

On the fourth ball, Chen Ran made a mistake on his first serve!
Missing a first serve is common even among professional athletes.

When Chen Ran is training to serve, he will divide the serving area into a nine-square grid according to the requirements of the coach "Zhang Depei". Every time, the serving point is required to enter the designated target area, and he must hit where he points.

In future training, it will be divided into eighteen palace grids, 27 palace grids, and even 36 palace grids.

When the player on the opposite side saw Chen Ran's mistake, his tense expression relaxed a little.

In order to avoid double faults, Chen Ran served a ball with a relatively stable speed and a more positive landing point on his second serve.

Zhang Lie was concentrating, adjusting his body at the same time, waving his arms, looking at the right time, and hitting the ball back with all his strength.

However, this guy's breathing is slightly ragged now. It's more of a restless mind than fatigue from exercise.

I thought I was looking for a soft persimmon, but I found out that the other party was professional.

Chen Ran was already prepared. After serving, he had already adjusted his steps and looked like he was going to swing the ball hard.

However, in the next second, Chen Ran's fierce swing suddenly became softer. He gently rubbed the racket forward and released a small ball.

Hey~
The onlookers couldn't help but exclaimed at the same time, obviously impressed by Chen Ran's unparalleled and delicate touch.

Zhang Lie saw Chen Ran release a small ball and instinctively ran towards the net with all his strength. However, it was still a step too late. The ball had already completed two jumps and became a dead ball.

The game score is 1:0.

At this moment, the player on the opposite side screamed and fell to the ground. He grinned and covered his calf, as if he had a cramp...

In the crushing situation, the opponent was facing huge physical and mental pressure. He suddenly accelerated his run just now, and something happened without paying attention.

At this time, Zhang Lie had only one thought: Give me the ball, I want to go home.
