Tennis: He's so obedient!

Chapter 108: The Powerful Serve After the Upgrade (Please Subscribe)
Sitting in a VIP box near the front of the stands, Gao Yan turned his head and asked cautiously.

"Mr. Zhao, do you think Jiang Hong has a chance to win?"

Although he joined Hyde, he didn't know anything about sports and was essentially Zhao Hui's assistant secretary, only responsible for handling miscellaneous tasks.

As for how they managed to secure VIP box seats before the match, that can only be attributed to their "money power."

Zhao Hui shook his head calmly.

"do not know!"

He paused for a moment, then continued.

"Whether Jiang Hong wins or loses, it won't affect our sponsorship of Jiang Hong!"

"Moreover, the better his grades are, the more advantageous it is for us!"

In fact, besides Zhao Hui, Chen Bochong from Adidas was also observing the match.

Jiang Hong defeated Davydenko's wave of popularity and has already earned back their sponsorship fees.

Their company has decided to shoot an advertisement for Jiang Hong after the China Open concludes.

After all, in this era, the reach of advertising is still very powerful.

Some advertisements have even helped increase the athletes' visibility.

The moment Jiang Honggang stepped out of the players' tunnel, a deafening roar of cheers erupted from the stands.

"Jiang Hong, keep it up!"

"Little Jiang will win!"

"..."

The huge, deafening shout instantly ignited Jiang Hong's blood.

There seemed to be a voice inside him telling him.

"Win!"

After yesterday's match, Jiang Hong has become a household name in China.

Therefore, many spectators came specifically to watch the game.

Originally intended as a gift to businesses and government agencies, the tickets were eventually changed to be given away at other screenings due to their popularity.

Cilic looked up at the audience in the stands and gasped.

Jiang Hong is being treated like a superstar.

Cilic felt a little envious, as he currently only had one sponsor, Hyde.

Moreover, it was the kind of sponsorship that only provided rackets and not cash.

While observing their opponents, they noticed Jiang Hong.

Surprisingly, he had already secured a sponsorship deal with a major brand like Adidas when he was still ranked around 300th.

Moreover, his opponent defeated Davydenko, the number one seed at this year's China Open.

So Cilic was holding a grudge.

He wants to defeat Jiang Hong and advance to the next round of the competition.

Would this attract sponsorships from apparel brands like Adidas and Nike?

Jiang Hong took the tennis ball from the caddie and began serving to warm up.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Suddenly, a huge explosion rang out in the arena.

Everyone was just trying to find their rhythm, but Cilic's serve was almost like a real match.

Jiang Hong estimates that the ball speed could even reach around 200 kilometers per hour!

"Ok?"

Jiang Hong looked up and saw Cilic staring intently at him, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

"Just right!"

Jiang Hong also wanted to test what the future Grand Slam would look like!
"Players, please assemble at the net!"

At the referee's instruction, Jiang Hong and Cilic moved to opposite sides of the net.

The referee began to tossing a coin, and Jiang Hong gained the right to serve.

After the rules of the competition were announced and both sides agreed that there were no objections, the competition officially began!
"Alright, the match officially begins. Let's see if Xiao Jiang can continue his dark horse run today!" The viewership ratings for the last match surged compared to usual, so the leaders of CCTV's sports department made a decision immediately!

"We agree to broadcast this match!"

Zhang Sheng will once again be the commentator for this match.

Jiang Hong focused intently, lightly tapping the tennis ball with his fingers as he searched for the landing point of the first serve in the opponent's half of the court.

Cilic's gaze calmed down as he prepared to receive the hair, his legs shoulder-width apart and his body leaning forward!
After finding a good landing spot, Jiang Hong tossed the ball high into the air!

As the tennis ball falls, it reaches the point of impact!

"It's now!"

Jiang Hong turned and pushed off the ground, his arm lashing out like a whip!
With a crisp sound, the tennis ball seemed to teleport for a split second.

When he opened his eyes again, the tennis ball was already in Cilic's half of the court.

"So fast!"

Cilic's gaze sharpened, clearly showing some surprise.

Because Jiang Hong's serving technique was amazing in the previous few matches.

However, it's not a powerful serve; it's more about controlling the landing point!
A powerful serve seems to be all about blasting the ball and leaving the rest to fate!
In fact, the skill required for a powerful serve is no less than that of a tricky spin serve!

It's important to know that the serve with the highest error rate is the high-speed flat serve!
As a player who relies on powerful serves, Cilic certainly understands the difficulty involved.

It's not something that can be improved in a short period of time.

There is only one possibility: Jiang Hong is hiding his true abilities!

"hiss!"

Cilic gasped. Jiang Hong had the ability to conceal his strength even when fighting Davydenko!
All sorts of distracting thoughts flashed through my mind!

Unfortunately, Cilic didn't know that there's a type of person called a "club climber"!

With a year and a half of experience, can you catch this ball?
The instant the tennis ball was launched, Cilic instinctively lunged to his right!

He swung his racket sharply and smashed it towards the tennis ball.

However, the tennis ball grazed the sideline and landed directly in Cilic's backhand corner!

"Ace!"

15: 0!

Cilic gritted his teeth. "We were still a step too late!"

Zhang Sheng slammed his hand on the table and shouted excitedly, "Jiang Hong's touch is great! He hit an ace on his first serve!"

Cilic retracted his racket, returned to the baseline behind the second service box without saying a word, and prepared to receive serves again!
This shot will not give Jiang Hong any more chances!

Jiang Hong tossed the tennis ball into the air once again!

Arch your back, jump, and swing your racket upwards to hit the ball directly to the upper right!
The serve wasn't fast, and seeing this, Cilic immediately started moving and quickly chased after the ball to the net.

The serve, upon hitting the ground, spun out, causing it to bounce to the left and head straight for the sideline.

Because Jiang Hong's serve had such strong spin, Cilic made a mistake in his prediction.

"wrong!"

Cilic felt a chill run down his spine and immediately adjusted his position.

boom!
I managed to hit the ball in a rush, but because the angle wasn't fully extended, the quality of the return shot was poor!
Jiang Hong's lips curled up. "I've been waiting for you!"

Ding Ding Deng!
The moment the tennis ball crossed the net, Jiang Hong was already in front of the net!

Lightly touch the ground with your toes, then pull to the side with your backhand!
The tennis ball was instantly pulled into a diagonal line and flew towards Cilic's left open space!
"Damn it!"

Cilic hadn't expected Jiang Hong to be so fast at the net, and before the tennis ball even hit the ground, he immediately chose to volley it in mid-air!

I glanced back and saw the tennis ball hurtling straight to the baseline!

Cilic used his left foot as the center of gravity and rotated his body 180 degrees!

With a crossover step, he sprinted quickly towards the baseline!

boom!
The tennis ball hit the baseline, and Cilic slammed his foot off the ground!
He instantly lunged forward.

He swung the racket wildly in the air.

Cilic felt a surge of joy as he experienced the impact from the racket!
"Hit!"
