A realistic recreation of anime, and you call this tennis?

He secretly swore in his heart that since Zhou Ran looked down on him so much, he would make Zhou Ran pay the price in the next game.

He didn't say out loud what he just said, "There's absolutely no way Zhou Ran can defeat him by revealing his cards," but he kept repeating it in his heart.

But this was not just something he said casually, but he firmly believed that he could do it 100%.

He didn't think that simply changing the rhythm of using the up and down spinning ball would be a difficult task.

This time, after Zhou Ran hit the tennis ball with topspin, he decided not to return the ball with backspin, but to continue with topspin.

Hit the tennis ball back in the same way as Zhou Ran.

With his mind made up, the tennis ball quickly came to Shi Xiao. He swung the racket very skillfully according to his usual training movements, gave the tennis ball a strong topspin, and then hit the ball out with force.

"Zhou Ran scored, 15:0."

However, the scene that Shi Xiao had imagined of the tennis ball scoring from Zhou Ran's hands did not appear.

With just one shot, the tennis ball hit the net in the middle of the court and failed to fly over the net, which made him quickly lose the first point in the second game.

"What's going on? Why didn't the tennis ball go over the net?"

After seeing that he had lost points, Shi Xiao did not care too much about the score at this time. Instead, he stared at the tennis ball that had just hit the net with a puzzled look on his face.

In his opinion, the serve Zhou Ran just hit was just a little more powerful and a little faster. With his own strength, he could definitely hit the tennis ball back.

Moreover, when he returned the tennis ball just now, he didn't feel anything strange on the tennis ball.

He had just taken a normal swing like he normally does in training.

In his understanding, this ordinary return shot would be easy for him to hit the tennis ball back, but the tennis ball just hit the net and did not pass it.

"Come again!"

Shi Xiao was a little unconvinced. At this moment, he did not associate his loss of points with Zhou Ran.

Instead, he put all the blame on himself.

He felt that the previous goal might have been a mistake caused by his lack of concentration.

After all, Zhou Ran had brought him too many shocks and surprises in the past period of time. Even though he was a college student who had experienced many competitions, it was inevitable that he felt a little difficult to calm down.

So he speculated that when he had just returned the tennis ball, there must have been a deviation in either the force or the angle, and this deviation was enough to cause the tennis ball to hit the net, resulting in a loss of 0 points...

After figuring this out, this time he stared at Zhou Ran intently, ready to meet Zhou Ran's serve at any time and then hit the tennis ball back.

At the same time, he also quickly adjusted his emotions to avoid making mistakes in hitting the tennis balls due to emotional fluctuations, thereby losing points.

When Shi Xiao was concentrating on hitting the tennis ball, the audience in the stadium and the audience in the live broadcast room all held their breath. They were thinking about the reason why Shi Xiao had lost points just now, while watching the game intently.

What they were thinking in their hearts was roughly the same as what Shi Xiao was thinking just now.

That is what they also saw. Facing Zhou Ran's topspin ball, Shi Xiao also used a topspin ball to fight back.

They also felt that Zhou Ran's serve and Shi Xiao's return were both normal, just with a little more power.

With this back-and-forth attack and defense, there was no reason for Shi Xiao to hit the tennis ball onto the net.

So the audience was also wondering why Shi Xiao lost points just now.

However, since Shi Xiao was the person involved, everyone thought it might have been a mistake.

The audience naturally thought so too, so they all silently supported Shi Xiao in their hearts, hoping that he could calm down so that he could successfully beat Zhou Ran's tennis 2.2 in the next game.

boom!

Seeing that Shi Xiao was ready, Zhou Ran did not hesitate at all. This time, he served the ball with a very strong topspin.

On the other side, although Shi Xiao was very serious at this time, when he used topspin to return the ball, the tennis ball still hit the net in the middle of the court.

"Zhou Ran scored, 30:0."

The referee announced the score clearly.

"Haha, my topspin is very strong. You have no way of weakening the spin on the tennis ball except by using backspin. Naturally, there is no way you can hit the tennis ball towards me. So if you want to hit the tennis ball towards me, you must use the exact opposite spin from mine."

After seeing Shi Xiao lose points again, Zhou Ran continued to speak to Shi Xiao without hesitation.

Chapter 178: Topspin without any weakening!

After Zhou Ran finished speaking, he prepared to serve again, but now he appeared to be relatively calm.

The audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room, as well as Shi Xiao on the court, all stood there in a daze.

"The only way to hit the tennis ball into Zhou Ran's half of the court is to use a completely opposite spin to Zhou Ran's?"

Everyone kept thinking about what Zhou Ran had just said.

Although what Zhou Ran said was not complicated at all.

They could easily understand what Zhou Ran wanted to express.

However, despite this, it was still difficult for everyone to accept in a short period of time that what Zhou Ran said could really happen on the court.

After all, there is no such thing as having to play according to the opponent's requirements.

If Shi Xiao had to do what Zhou Ran said every time he swung his racket and hit the ball on the court, then this would not be a game, but a training match led by Zhou Ran.

04

Shi Xiao must compete according to Zhou Ran's requirements. Shi Xiao will lose whenever Zhou Ran wants him to.

There was absolutely no chance that Shi Xiao would win this match, so everyone was very reluctant to accept this.

Shi Xiao on the court was extremely depressed at this moment.

Just now he saw a glimmer of hope of scoring from Zhou Ran, but this time Zhou Ran brought him even greater despair.

He was able to understand what Zhou Ran meant in a very short time, and as a player standing opposite Zhou Ran in the competition, he could also feel that what Zhou Ran said just now was true.

Zhou Ran really used a very strong topspin. With this kind of topspin, if he had used any spin other than backspin, he would not have been able to control the tennis ball to fly within Zhou Ran's half of the court.

When he first came to this conclusion, Shi Xiao was naturally very dissatisfied.

Although he had a premonition that Zhou Ran was very strong, he might only be able to play with backspin balls.

But this kind of thing is too humiliating for him, and he absolutely does not want it to happen on the court.

So in the following game, he quickly signaled Zhou Ran to serve quickly. He was unwilling to play the game according to what Zhou Ran said. Next, he would use other rotations besides backspin to swing the racket and hit the ball.

Seeing Shi Xiao's expression, Zhou Ran didn't say much. He swung his racket quickly to hit the ball.

Just like in the previous round, he served with very strong topspin.

On the other side, when Shi Xiao saw Zhou Ran hit the tennis ball towards him, he also slightly changed his way of playing.

Indeed, Zhou Ran's topspin was very strong.

If he continues to use topspin in the game, the rotation on the tennis ball will be very exaggerated.

This kind of exaggeration was probably something he had never seen before.

In this situation, the tennis ball he hit naturally had no way of flying along the trajectory he wanted and landing in Zhou Ran's half of the court.

But the key to the problem is that in the next game, he only needs to hit the tennis ball within Zhou Ran's half without using backspin.

Then we can just score from Zhou Ran.

Therefore, he can completely give up the topspin ball that makes the tennis ball produce stronger topspin, and use the side spin ball or flat shot.

After all, a sidespin ball is also a rotation. When topspin and sidespin are combined, the rotation on the tennis ball will inevitably become very strong. Shi Xiao believes that he may not be able to control this strong and complex rotation.

Then in the next process, he planned to use flat shots that did not increase the spin on the tennis ball, and he wanted to aim at the position of the shot.

This allows the tennis ball to fly perpendicular to his racket, allowing him to hit a perfect flat shot.

He did it right away. When the tennis ball fell into his half of the court, he followed his plan and quickly hit the ball with a flat shot.

This time, Shi Xiao thought that even if Zhou Ran applied too much spin to the tennis ball, when he used flat shots to play.

It is also possible to safely place the tennis ball within Zhou Ran's half of the court.

However, to Shi Xiao's disappointment, he failed again this time.

Just as the tennis ball flew out of his racket, it hit the ground directly. It was obvious that the ball did not fall within the 910 area of ​​Zhou Ran's half of the court, and he lost points again.

"Zhou Ran scored, 30:0."

The referee quickly announced the score.

"Failed? Can't even hit the ball flat?"

After seeing his failure, Shi Xiao felt very unwilling and also very surprised.

He quickly recalled in his mind the entire process of the tennis ball flying on the court.

He wanted to figure out why he lost points because Zhou Ran's rotation was so strong.

Or maybe there was a problem when he used the flat shot, which led to his own mistake.

And as he continued to think in his mind, he was able to come to a conclusion.

That is, Zhou Ran had indeed used a very strong topspin just now. If this kind of topspin was not weakened in any way, then as long as the tennis ball left his racket, it would not be able to fly over the net in the middle.

Therefore, his flat shot just now did not reduce the topspin on the tennis ball, which led to his loss of points.

Chapter 179 The ability to return the ball over the net!

“Haha, is this really possible?”

When Shi Xiao figured out the problem, the expression on his face was a little dull.

But he felt helpless in his heart.

He had long known that Zhou Ran was very strong, and he knew this before competing with Zhou Ran today.

The reason why he was so confident just now was because he thought of some possibilities of scoring from Zhou Ran during the game.

But now he found that such a possibility was gradually fading away from him.

He used to think that Zhou Ran was very arrogant. During the game, he scored points from him by just using a combination of topspin and backspin. It was ridiculous.

More importantly, Zhou Ran also wanted to control him to add spin to the tennis ball and win the game.

Shi Xiao had previously thought that this kind of situation where he was being controlled like a puppet was even more impossible.

But now he feels that such a situation may occur on the court.

Because when Zhou Ran was playing against him, he was indeed able to hit the tennis ball with very strong rotation.

Moreover, such a strong rotation made him completely helpless.

The only way to hit the tennis ball is to use a rotation that is completely opposite to the one Zhou Ran hit.

When Shi Xiao thought of this in his mind, he also thought of another thing, that is, he thought that although Zhou Ran was very arrogant, Zhou Ran was still very conservative.

Zhou Ran may have a very powerful ability, which is that no matter what kind of rotation he uses, his opponent will not be able to hit the tennis ball towards him.

For example, if Zhou Ran uses topspin, even if the opponent hits the tennis ball with backspin.

There is also no way to make the tennis ball fly over the net, because Zhou Ran's ability to add topspin to the tennis ball is very strong. Even if the opponent uses a very exaggerated backspin ball, there is no way to reduce the rotation of the tennis ball, so that the tennis ball with reduced rotation can fly over the net.

However, Zhou Ran had this ability but did not use it. Instead, he chose to let his opponent use the opposite rotation to hit the tennis ball over the net.

Perhaps Zhou Ran used very clever force in this.

Zhou Ran uses this very clever force to control the intensity of the topspin ball within a very clever range.

Within this range, the opponent can try his best to use backspin to make the tennis ball fly over the net.

Except for backspin, there is no way for the opponent to make the tennis ball fly past no matter what method he uses.

When Xiao first had this idea, he was very reluctant to accept it.

Because if Zhou Ran could really do such a thing, it would be enough to show that Zhou Ran's strength was not on the same level as his.

Zhou Ran's strength has far exceeded his understanding.

But despite this, Shi Xiao still took the initiative to ask Zhou Ran.

Although he thought losing to a high school student might be very embarrassing, as a college student, his mind must be more mature than that of an ordinary high school student.

When he realized the huge gap in strength between himself and Zhou Ran and that there was no way to make up for it, he was forced to accept the fact that he would definitely lose the game.

But even though he thought he was going to lose, he didn't want to lose with doubts.
