Everything happened so fast that Stike didn't have time to react. He instinctively stretched out his racket, went around his body, and blocked it reflexively behind his back.
but!
Stopped!
Actually stopped!
Unbelievable!
So much so that the entire audience was stunned, and all the sounds were strangled in their throats.
At this point, you can see his talent in handling shots in front of the net. A subconscious move with no calculation or layout, but he hit the tennis ball accurately.
Whoosh!
The tennis ball drew a full parabola, passed over Li Zhe's head, and rushed toward the back.
Amazing skills!
Even Stecker himself was taken aback. He did not expect that he could complete the shot. However, Stecker had no time to exclaim. He immediately moved his feet, preparing to block the next shot. His eyes quickly turned to Li Zhe.
He and Zhang Ze circulated between the two of them, trying to make a judgment.
The tennis ball falls towards the diagonal triangle area deep in the bottom line.
On the edge of the court, the hearts of Gao Wen and others were all high, because Zhang Ze was running, but it could be seen from the chaos in his footsteps that he did not have enough strength to push on the ground.
Somewhat powerless.
Fortunately, Stike's return of the ball was an instinctive reaction, so there was no control at all, and it finally gave Zhang Ze some time to move.
Zhang Ze smoothly crossed the court and came to the right side, but his forehand did not fully exert its force——
Because he couldn't push on the ground, he couldn't actively exert force.
So, Zhang Ze hit a transition ball, but he also noticed Stike who was about to move, so he hit it lightly and hit a straight line.
Directly opposite, Daniel went to the net, quickly entered the baseline, continued to press forward, and saw Zhang Ze's ball coming. So, how did he deal with it?
Flat attack? Attack? Power?
No!
Daniel didn't.
Daniel used his hands to backhand and gently lifted and picked out a stunning rainbow arc, which once again passed over Li Zhe's head and flew towards the diagonal bottom line triangle.
Win with cleverness!
Huh!
The whole audience exclaimed.
From Stike's behind-the-back hitting to Daniel's effortless lifting, these small details can tell that these two players have great doubles talents——
Being imaginative and interpreting and utilizing the entire court space is indeed different from singles players.
Originally, Zhang Ze and Li Zhe had an absolute advantage through their tactical layout, but Stike and Daniel's on-the-spot handling turned the situation around.
At this time, Zhang Ze was still in the blind spot at the right end of the baseline, and could not adjust his center of gravity, because what he needed most for sudden stops and turns was his knee strength.
At the same time, Daniel's light lofted ball was aimed at the blind spot at the left end of the baseline. Even if Zhang Ze could touch the ball across the entire court, the quality of the return ball might not be high.
what to do?
——Li Zhe.
Li Zhe was retreating, moving back in small steps, his eyes firmly locked on Daniel's moon ball, and then he realized that he could not complete the high pressure.
Make a quick decision, turn around, and sprint with all your strength. While watching the flying arc of the tennis ball, you continue to adjust your steps to find a suitable hitting point.
However, the tennis ball keeps flying, flying...the full and sufficient parabola makes the best use of the doubles area of the entire court:
Not only the bottom line triangle of the singles line, but also the bottom line triangle of the doubles line.
Moreover, tennis balls have strong topspin and will continue to move forward after landing.
Li Zhe's footsteps had already reached the baseline. Seeing the tennis ball falling quickly, landing smoothly, and entering the bounds, he was already preparing to return the ball.
As a result, I watched helplessly as the tennis ball bounced off the ground and continued to drill "forward".
Tap tap tap.
Li Zhe is still running, Li Zhe is still not giving up, and Li Zhe is still fighting.
The body had completely rushed out, but it was too late to turn around. Seeing that the body was about to rush towards the bottom line billboard like a derailed train, the attention was still completely focused on the tennis ball, staring intently at the mustard yellow ball spinning at high speed.
Lift the racket over shoulder height, and then hit the ball over the shoulder at the highest point of the tennis ball before it rebounds.
Snapped.
A light tap.
With his back to the court and no time to observe his opponent's position, he could only rely on his intuition and feel to simply hit the tennis ball back.
rub!
Kick!
An emergency brake, an emergency turn, Li Zhe was like a top, quickly completing a 180-degree turn, looking for the position of his opponent, the position of the tennis ball, the position of Zhang Ze, and the light and shadow of the entire world amid a dizzying jolt.
Everything blends into one bright mass.
Let out catharsis.
Saw it!
Returning the ball, it actually entered the court!
However, Stike appeared on the line in time, cut backhand with one shot, easily replayed a small ball, and hit the tennis ball back again.
Stike noticed the situation on the opposite court. Zhang Ze had entered the baseline and followed up in time, cutting off half of the court. So Stike avoided Zhang Ze, cut a straight line, and hit the tennis ball back; and
, in order to prevent Zhang Ze from filling in, Sterk cut a long ball.
Let’s make it clear, it’s just to embarrass Li Zhe.
Whoosh.
Whoosh.
Li Zhe's lungs were like bellows, working overload; his knees were protesting and he kicked the ground hard, but the reaction force of the ground was spinning around his knees, making him almost unsteady.
Although he is better than Zhang Ze, Li Zhe is not much better. In addition to his age, his physical fitness is not as good as that of young people such as Zhang Ze and Wu Di. In recent years, he has been mainly active in low-level competitions, all of which are
With a best-of-three-set system, the quality of training will naturally not be able to keep up.
Every muscle in his body is burning.
but.
Li Zhe has entered a state of total selflessness, with only one thought in his mind:
fighting.
Refuse to give up! Refuse to disarm! Refuse to surrender!
At this moment, he is not fighting alone, there is Zhang Ze, Gao Wen, Wu Di and Wang Chuhan. They are a team and they are fighting side by side.
Energy burst out continuously, and adrenaline bloomed like fireworks. Then, everything no longer mattered, and there was only that tennis ball in his eyes and mind.
brake.
Kick the ground.
start up.
The whole movement was done in one go. Li Zhe didn't even have time to think about how Steck's shot was going. His only idea was to see where it landed and then sprint.
run.
Li Zhe burned like a flame, completely releasing all the burning energy, relying entirely on the strength of his calves to support his body forward.
The upper body was leaning forward slightly due to the continuous acceleration, and the steps seemed to be unable to keep up with the forward speed, so that the whole person was almost jumping forward.
Stike's volley still seemed a little hasty. In order to avoid Zhang Ze, he did not control the force release enough. In the end, the force was not completely released. After the tennis ball hit the ground, the rebound height had already passed the net, which also gave Li Zhe
Moving time.
Sprint with all your strength!
In the players' dugout, Gao Wen's heart was so high that it was about to burst. He held his breath completely. Time seemed to stand still at this moment. All his thoughts were focused on Li Zhe, who was running wildly, and he also ran with him.
.
A little more.
A little more.
Li Zhe's steps were already staggering, and then you could see the tennis ball falling for the second time. He stretched out the racket, and his entire upper body was completely extended.
All the light and shadow in the world are concentrated on the tennis ball.
