Almighty Athlete Chapter 8: 208 kilometers
On the second day of the Australian Open, both Zhang Guan and Sharapova will be on stage. In addition, there are famous players such as Nadal, Blake, Christels, Ivanovic.
Sharapova’s game is the first game in the morning, and Zhang Guan is the second game in the morning, but the two are not playing in the same venue.
Sharapova is the No. 1 seed of the Australian Open women’s singles. Her first show will be held at Rod Laver Stadium, which is the largest stadium in the Australian Open and the home stadium of the Australian Open. Australian tennis star Rod Laver is named. In addition to Sharapova's game, the men's singles second seed Nadal will also be held here. And yesterday's match between Federer and Maurice Moss was also held at Rod Laver Stadium.
Playing at Rod Laver Stadium is the prerogative of the No. 1 and 2 seeds of the Australian Open. Zhang Guan and his opponent Oroches are not even seed players. It is naturally impossible to enjoy playing at Rod Laval Stadium. Treatment. However, considering the reputation of Zhang Guan, the game of Zhang Guan was arranged at Vodafone Stadium.
Vodafone Stadium is the second largest game venue in the Australian Open, second only to Rod Laver Stadium. The stadium’s naming rights were bought by Vodafone Group. However, Vodafone was imaged because of the financial crisis and did not continue to buy stadiums. The naming rights will continue to be taken over by Hisense, so in the future this stadium will be renamed Hisense Stadium.
The first game at the Vodafone Stadium was the women’s singles Ivanovic against the younger Kim Jyuji. Kim Jyuji was far behind Ivanovic in terms of technology and experience, so Ivanovic ended up with 62 The 60 straight set defeated Jin Jiuji and advanced easily to the second round.
Next, it was Zhang Guan's game against Oroches.
"I didn't expect the first game to end so quickly, it was my turn to play. Martha should have just finished the first set!" Zhang Guan picked up his backpack and walked onto the field.
"Participating in a professional tennis match for the first time and earning a reward for a skill point." The sound of the system suddenly sounded, giving Zhang Guan a small surprise.
"I can't think of a new project, there will be rewards. Although there is only one skill point, but the mosquito meat is also good!" Zhang Guan thought while walking out of the athlete's channel exit.
"Hush" When Zhang Guan walked out of the athlete's tunnel, the camera shot immediately aimed at him. He was given a big close-up, but a boo was heard in the audience. Later, when Roches played, although the audience did not give him a big cheer, at least no one was cheering.
"Oh, it's really a public enemy of the world! I don't seem to encounter this kind of situation! Boos all over. It feels weird." Zhang Guan doesn't care, but keeps the original Smile.
In the track and field competitions that Zhang Guan participated in, whether in Asia or Europe, as long as Zhang Guan appears on the field, it will definitely be applauded by the audience, because Zhang Guan is the strongest track and field athlete in the world, is The most dazzling star in track and field events. This is like Federer's position in tennis, no matter what level of tennis game, as long as Federer appears, there will be applause and cheers.
And now. Zhang Guan has entered a new field of sports. Although he is still very famous, he has never achieved anything. Obviously, he is unlikely to be recognized by the audience. In addition to the pre-match qualification and declaration of winning the championship, Zhang Guan Almost became the public enemy of the Australian Open audience, so it is not surprising to get a boo after the game.
After introducing the players and referees from both sides, Zhang Guan and Roches began the warm-up exercises before the game. Although this is the most common warm-up, it has attracted the attention of many people. Because the strength of Zhang Guan in tennis is still unknown, so everyone hopes to pass the warm-up few balls. Estimate the strength of Zhang Guan.
Roches is also thinking about this plan. He hopes to try out Zhang Guan through warm-up exercises, but Zhang Guan did not give him this opportunity, but just waved a few times as a symbol of not working. Even after finishing the warm-up. After testing for a few shots, Roches found that Zhang Guan could not take any action at all, so he gave up the temptation and indicated to the referee that he was ready for the game.
Today Zhang Guan’s luck is pretty good. I guessed the coin front and back before the game, so I can serve first.
"The game is about to start, and this is one of the most watched games today. Zhang Guan, the world’s most powerful track and field player, will bring us his first tennis show! I don’t know if Zhang Guan will bring us again. Come surprise."
"Okay, the game started, Zhang Guan took the lead in serving! I hope he can successfully complete his first serve on the Australian Online."
I saw that Zhang Guan was ready to serve, and the opposite Roche's expression was serious.
"Zhang Guan is about to serve. I don’t have any information about Zhang Guan. I am good at what kind of ball, I don’t know at all. So what kind of ball will he serve next? Is it the simplest flat hit? The most common cutting serve? Is it better to control the topspin serve? What will be his choice of placement? Will it be a limit? Say he will fail to serve! This is really difficult to say, after all, it is the first ball At that time, when I first participated in a professional game, the first time I served, my hands were shaking." Roches' mind kept coming up with various broken thoughts.
Zhang Guan discarded the ball and then hit the tennis ball.
"Serving is very standard, there is no cutting, and it is really a flat shot! For this tall athlete, the strength is generally more sufficient. The possibility of using a flat shot to serve is definitely slightly larger. This is before my coach. It was the same as expected." Roches conceded in his heart that he felt the game was completely under his control, and victory was only a matter of time.
However, at the next moment, a yellow light flew by, but Roches' body was completely unresponsive.
"What just flew past? Is it the ball?" Roches felt like he was distracted.
"ace, 150." The referee's score instantly made Roches wake up.
"Ace ball! That thing was the ball just now!" Roches was at a loss.
The audience at the scene was also in an uproar. Most of them did not realize that what had happened just after they heard the referee shouted a score of 150.
"Dad, what is an ace?" A young spectator in the audience asked his father that the spectator obviously did not understand tennis, so he was not as surprised as others.
However, his father was in amazement until he heard the child’s voice before he calmed down~IndoMTL.com~ Then he explained: "The ace ball is after the serve, the ball falls in the effective zone , But the opponent did not touch the ball and scored directly."
"What if the opponent touches the ball?" the small audience asked.
"If the opponent touches the ball, it will not be called an ace ball. If the opponent touches the ball out of bounds or is out of the net, you can also score, but that is called a serve score." The father continued to explain.
"Why is it 150 instead of 10? Can you get 15 points at once?" the small audience asked.
"Tennis scores are calculated as 15, 30, 40. When both sides are at 40, they are counted as a tie. Only one side can win two consecutive goals. In the tie-break, there are only 1, 2, and 3. , 4 to calculate the score." As his father explained, he looked at the electronic screen showing the ball speed on the sidelines.
"Zhang Guan's serve speed is so fast, I don't know what the specific number is? Oh my god, serve at a speed of 208 kilometers per hour!" (To be continued.)
