Of course, ESPN will also broadcast the final of the Australian Open live, and the guest commentator they invited is the world champion Sampras.
At this time, the high-pressure ball that Zhang Guan jumped horizontally just now was playing in slow motion on the live broadcast screen.
"I read right just now, Zhang Guan really used my trick! In this world, besides me, there is actually another person who can use this trick! When did Zhang Guan learn it?" Sampras said. With a look of surprise on his face, he didn't continue to speak, as if he had forgotten that he was serving as the guest commentator for this game.
Sampras and Zhang Guansu have never met each other. Although they are both celebrities, they got to know each other through news reports. When Zhang Guan played before the net, Sampras began to pay attention to Zhang Guan. Firstly, the number of players who play at the net these days is almost extinct, and secondly, Zhang Guan's net play makes Sampras feel very familiar, and Sampras even feels like he is playing on the court.
But now, the move Zhang Guan uses is Sampras' unique skill, it's like a Shaolin monk performing a set of authentic Tai Chi in front of Zhang Sanfeng.
"Zhang Guan executed the whole movement very smoothly. He should be very proficient in this move." Sampras is very aware that it is difficult to jump the high-pressure ball horizontally or vertically during this kind of movement. First of all, the player A certain amount of physical talent is required. Secondly, players must have good skills. The most important thing is that players must know how to choose the best timing. Because tennis balls fly very fast, players must choose the most appropriate timing to take off in order to be successful. Block the ball in mid-air.
In the broadcast screen, Zhang Guan's smash appeared again, but Sampras's brows became more and more wrinkled.
"Great jumping! Zhang Guan's jumping speed and jumping height are much better than when I was young. This trick is indeed more powerful in Zhang Guan's hands." Sampras sighed inwardly.
...
"Beautiful! Zhang Guan seized the opportunity and broke serve! Zhang Guan leads Federer 1-0!" CCTV's commentator shouted excitedly, and then he said: "Director Su, look at Zhang Guan's action just now. It looks like a smash in badminton!"
"That's right, the action of jumping a high-pressure ball while moving is indeed very similar to smashing in badminton, but the difficulty of this set of actions is greater than that of badminton smashing. First of all, the speed of tennis is faster than that of badminton. Faster, because the resistance of badminton flying in the air is relatively large, so badminton flies more and more slowly. When the badminton flies to the opponent's half court, the speed is definitely not as good as tennis; secondly, as a ball, tennis is in the air. There is rotation, and the difficulty of catching the ball is relatively higher." Director Su paused, and then said: "Actually, the smashing action just now is very difficult to complete in tennis. If you want to compare There are two key difficulties in completing this set of movements perfectly."
"What are the two key difficulties?" The narrator asked cooperatively.
"The first difficulty is to grasp the timing. Jumping up to catch the ball is not just a simple jump. We all know that the speed of tennis is very fast, so players not only need to take off, but also need to be able to stop the tennis ball just right. Jumping early or late will not work; the second difficulty is the physical coordination of athletes. When the human body is in the air, there is no point of focus. At this time, to complete a shot, the body needs to have excellent coordination. Yes, athletes with poor coordination can jump up, but their technical movements are poor, so they still cannot be converted into points."
"Of course, these two points are not difficult for Zhang Guan. After all, Zhang Guan is the holder of the Asian long jump record. His jumping ability is the best in the world. Moreover, long jump is also a sport that requires physical coordination. Make moves in the air, so there is no problem with Zhang Guan's coordination." Director Su explained.
The narrator nodded: "It turns out that's the case. No wonder I rarely see athletes using this technique in competitions."
"Yes, as far as I know, this kind of technical action is the unique skill of the previous generation of ball king Sampras. Since Sampras retired, no athlete has used this technique anymore." Director Su worried that the general audience would not Knowing who Sampras is, he went on to explain: "Sampras was the world champion before Federer, holding 14 Grand Slam titles, more than Federer now."
...
In the past few years, Federer has been getting slower and slower, and there have been several times when he was broken in the first game, but every time Federer can always pull back the score and even overtake in the next few games.
But for the ball just now, Zhang Guan used the technique of jumping the high-pressure ball horizontally while moving, which invisibly put a lot of pressure on Federer.
"Zhang Guan is able to master this technique. Zhang Guan's height is over 190 centimeters, and he has an inherent advantage in playing golf. I heard that Zhang Guan is also a long jump champion. It seems that Zhang Guan's best performance in the long jump last year was Zhang Guan. What he created, this means that his jumping is the top in the world, so as long as Zhang Guan can grasp the timing of jumping, he can easily hit a high-pressure ball." Federer shook his head silently: "The last game I took the last ball for granted, and I shouldn't have placed the ball too high. With this move alone, I can't beat him in air control. It seems that the 'air control' in this game , I have to voluntarily give up."
"The jumping high-pressure ball on the move, Zhang Guan has shown a new 'weapon'! Sure enough, as I expected before the game, Zhang Guan really still has unknown means that he has not used. In the next game , I can’t be careless.” Federer took a peek at Zhang Guan not far away, and then thought: “It’s Zhang Guan’s turn to serve. According to the information I collected before the game, Zhang Guan’s serve is quite changeable. , that kind of high-speed serve of more than 230 kilometers, I will definitely not be able to catch it. Besides, Zhang Guan's serve and net level is also very good, I have to go all out!"
...
On the other side, Zhang Guan is also summing up the gains and losses of the previous game.
"It was a bit of luck to win the first game. Federer was a bit slow at the beginning of the game. It is estimated that the game will become more and more intense later, and Federer's state will definitely get better and better. Next, I will serve as fast as possible. Quick decision, let Federer less hold the ball, and his state will be slower!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Guan got up and walked onto the field.
The second game between the two sides is about to begin, and this time it is Zhang Guan's turn to serve.
