Tennis: He's so obedient!

Chapter 122 Jiang Hong's Small Step, China's Men's Network a Giant Leap (Please Subscribe)

After Jiang Hong broke serve, the two players went into the break.

He took a sip of water, peeled the banana, but he didn't feel relaxed.

After all, Jiang Hong only has a small advantage right now. If he makes a mistake, Gangsales will immediately regain the opportunity and even take the first set.

The short break ended in the blink of an eye.

The two players returned to the baseline position on the court.

Jiang Hong took two tennis balls from the caddie and stroked their fuzzy surfaces.

He looked up at González.

Toss the ball high into the air, push off the ground, leap into the air, rotate your body, and draw back the racket from behind your head.

The racket struck the tennis ball hard.

boom!
With a loud bang, the tennis ball had crossed the net and appeared in the opponent's half of the court in the blink of an eye.

"Outer corner of area one!"

Gonzalez was highly focused, quickly catching up with his footwork and moving rapidly in the direction the tennis ball bounced.

He shifted his body to the side and slammed the ball back with his forehand.

The ball was very fast. Jiang Hong adjusted his stance slightly, turned his body to the side, and assumed a striking posture.

González immediately started moving forward to prepare for an attack.

"What? Gonzalez moved ahead of schedule?"

"Xiao Jiang's shot landing point was predicted."

As Gonzalez moved, the audience's faces showed tension.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Jiang Hong's face.

"be cheated."

Jiang Hong slowed down his hitting motion, and the tennis ball bounced up to Jiang Hong's chest level.

Suddenly, Jiang Hong made a quick forehand drive, tilting his racket at a 45-degree angle.

Return the topspin ball.

Without hesitation, he put the ball into Gonzalez's original position.

Snapped!
The crisp sound of the ball being struck rang out. Gonzalez turned his head and discovered that Jiang Hong was deliberately faking him away.

Suddenly, the person lowered their center of gravity, rotated their ankles, and pushed off the ground forcefully.

Quickly turn back, stretching your entire body to its limit.

Swing the racket with a forehand.

Although the ball was returned, the quality of the return was not high.

"Xiao Jiang is online!"

"It's so fast!"

The audience suddenly noticed a figure moving quickly.

As the tennis ball flew toward Jiang Hong's half of the court, Jiang Hong had already made a crossover step to catch up.

squeak~
When you stop at high speed, the soles of your shoes make a rubbing sound against the ground.

Lower your center of gravity and use your strength to block.

Counterattack!

Gonzalez's expression changed instantly, and he looked up in the direction of the return ball.

He suddenly pulled his body upward and tried to catch up by pushing off with his feet, but after his series of short bursts of speed, Gonzalez stumbled.

boom!
The tennis ball hits the ground.

"15-0!" the referee announced the score.

The spectators in the stands, watching the ball, couldn't help but suddenly clench their fists.

"One move after another, Jiang Hong executed his tactics perfectly, feinting to create space before moving forward to intercept!"

"I wasn't nervous at all because it was the final match venue; on the contrary, I remained very calm!"

Zhang Sheng quickly recounted the events surrounding the ball and couldn't help but sigh.

For a young player to maintain such a clear mind while standing on the final stage is a fundamental quality of a top athlete.

Otherwise, even if one's skills are unparalleled, if one's mental fortitude is poor, then one may very well become what people call the "uncrowned king."

However, Jiang Hong didn't want the title of "uncrowned king".

That is pity for the losers.

He will keep climbing until he completely conquers this peak!
On the other side, Gonzalez's face was grim. He had actually been fooled by the feint. "Damn it!"

For the second ball, Jiang Hong again opted for a high-speed flat shot. Although the error rate was relatively high, the scoring rate was also high.

Unless limited by their own physical condition, most players will use flat serves intensively.

boom!
The tennis ball slammed into the T-shaped area, and before Gonzalez could react, he had already scored. "Ace!"

"30:0!"

Although Jiang Hong already had the advantage, Gonzalez was not going to sit idly by and wait for his doom!
After the third ball, they immediately opted for an attack.

Although Jiang Hong was prepared for this, the opponent's forehand return was too fast, directly penetrating Jiang Hong's gap and breaking through his defense!
After scoring, Gonzalez suddenly raised his head and roared.

However, Jiang Hong certainly wouldn't let the opportunity to win the first set slip away.

After all, wasting opportunities will have consequences.

Moreover, if Gonzalez gets back into form, my chances of beating him will decrease!
Both sides were attacking each other from the baseline. Jiang Hong's eyes flashed, and he decided to take a gamble!
Suddenly, he changed direction at a sharp angle and shot the ball directly into the corner of the net.

Although Gonzalez made a successful run, he still failed to control the ball when he struck it, and the ball flew out of bounds.

40: 30!

The audience in the stands instantly erupted in cheers.

"Pretty!"

"Xiao Jiang, just take him down! If you win this match, I'll treat you to soy milk!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hong's lips twitched. Could this person be a mole?

Boom boom boom!
Jiang Hong gently bounced the tennis ball and took a deep breath.

Grab the tennis ball, stand with your feet apart, lean forward, and toss the tennis ball vertically high in front of you!

When the tennis ball was about 40 centimeters above the ground, Jiang Hong's arm lashed out like a long whip, slamming it heavily into the center of the ball.

In an instant, it flew at a ball speed of 215 kilometers per hour!
"Attack now!"

Even when faced with Jiang Hong's powerful serve, Gonzalez still chose to attack.

Take two steps forward, stand still, swing your arm out to the distance, and strike the tennis ball directly in the center.

Jiang Hong, of course, would not let the opportunity slip by and immediately adjusted his position.

Go straight for the opponent's baseline.

However, at the moment of striking the ball, Jiang Hong was startled.

"What a heavy ball!"

Jiang Hong suddenly exerted his strength, increasing the power of his shot.

The tennis ball streaked like a shooting star straight for Gonzalez's baseline.

Gonzalez watched the ball keep retreating, unsure whether it would go out of bounds.

To be honest, Jiang Hong wasn't confident either!
However, luck was on Jiang Hong's side.

It slammed directly onto the baseline, bouncing upon landing with a forward momentum.

This has once again put pressure on Gonzalez's position!

Gonzalez took two steps back and violently struck the tennis ball.

They somehow managed to fight back.

Both players had performed exceptionally well for this goal, and in the ensuing back-and-forth battle, Gonzalez returned to the byline.

"Gap?"

Gonzalez suddenly noticed Jiang Hong's position, which left a large gap on his left.

This is an opportunity.

Gonzalez immediately went to the sideline and struck the ball into Jiang Hong's open space!

"be cheated!"

This gap was deliberately exposed by Jiang Hong; with his speed, he could easily cover the entire gap.

Gonzalez also took the bait, with Jiang Hong using a crossover step followed by a slide step.

Quickly land in position, shift your weight forward, and lift your back foot off the ground.

With a sudden swing of the arm, the racket completely enveloped the spin of the tennis ball.

boom!
With a thud, the tennis ball veered off the sideline and into the corner.

Gangzarez pushed off the ground with all his might, leaping out of the air and swinging his racket.

It was still too late...

The tennis ball flew past Gonzalez's blockade and out of bounds!
"Set, Jiang Hong, 1-0!" The referee's voice rang out, announcing the result of the first set.

Zhang Sheng slammed his fist on the table and stood up instantly, shouting into the microphone.

"He won! He won! Jiang Hong has taken the first set."

"This is a small step for Jiang Hong, but a giant leap for Chinese men's tennis!"
