Chapter 265 Continuous Challenge

Haas watched Zhang Guan silently, but couldn't help analyzing the current situation on the field in his heart.

"Before watching the video of the match between Zhang Guan and Nalbandian, I thought that Zhang Guan might use the serve to hit the net, but what I didn't expect was that he used this heavy serve, and the choice of the landing point was different. So the limit, is this intentionally creating a sense of pressure on me? Originally, I planned to create some pressure on him, but now he creates pressure on me first. But this kind of ball that presses the line can only be regarded as good luck , I have been fooled by you twice in a row, so I probably won’t be so lucky to catch it!”

At this time, Zhang Guan finally raised his hand to serve, and the ball was still the same as before. It was a flat serve, and the landing point was still very limited.

"It's this kind of ball again! Is it going out of bounds?" While Haas rushed over, his eyes were fixed on the landing point.

"Boom!" The ball fell to the ground and bounced. This time the landing point looked similar to the previous one. It seemed to be out of bounds, and it seemed to be pressing the line. The more similar point was that Haas still didn't catch it. to this ball.

The line referee was stunned. He had experienced the previous two misjudgments, and now he was facing the same ball again, which made the line referee hesitate. In his opinion, this ball should be out of bounds, but he also felt the same way for the first two balls. In the end, the Hawkeye system showed that the ball was in bounds.

"There can be no more misjudgments." The line referee did not make an out-of-bounds penalty for reasons of caution.

"40-0!" The referee announced the score.

Haas frowned. For the ball just now, Haas was very close to the point where the ball landed. In Haas' sight, the point where the ball landed was out of bounds, but the line referee did not make a penalty.

"Did I read it wrong? No, I'm closer to the ball. The ball just now should not be on the line. It may be an out-of-bounds ball." Haas was a little suspicious, but he didn't I am willing to use a challenge opportunity to verify whether my suspicion is correct.

On the contrary, Zhang Guan, who was on the opposite side, breathed a sigh of relief. The ball looked similar to the two balls just now, but in fact it was out of bounds. Affected by consecutive misjudgments, the penalty this time should be much more cautious, and Zhang Guan feels very lucky that no penalty was out of bounds.

"Good luck, I earned this point!" Zhang Guan let out a long breath, and then served the ball in the same way as before.

"Swoosh!" This time, the landing point of the ball was exactly the same as before.

The line referee still didn't call the ball out of bounds. If the ball landed at the same spot twice, the first ball was not called out of bounds, but if the second ball was called out of bounds, it would be tantamount to hitting yourself in the face, which is obviously inappropriate.

However, Haas quit, because if he lost this goal, he would lose the first game, and it was still a love-game loss.

"I saw the ball clearly. It was indeed out of bounds. The referee didn't make a penalty! This line referee is really unreliable!" Haas glared at the line referee angrily, and then signaled to the referee: "I To challenge!"

When Zhang Guan on the opposite side heard this, his face changed slightly, because he knew that the ball was indeed an out-of-bounds ball.

"It was Zhang Guan's two consecutive challenges just now, and now it's Haas' turn. This is really an interesting game. Haas seems very confident in betting on this ball," the commentator said.

Sure enough, the 3D simulation screen displayed on the big screen showed that the ball was out of bounds, and the edge of the ball was just outside the sideline. Although it was only a little bit short, the basis was an out-of-bounds ball.

"It's a foul ball, a foul ball! Haas's challenge was also successful. I think Haas was relatively close to the point where the ball landed, so he could clearly judge that it was a foul ball! Oops, the line referee again A misjudgment occurred once, which reminded me of the last ball, and the landing point was the same as now. The line referee thought it was a good ball, and neither side challenged it. Maybe that ball just now was also a foul ball!" commentary The team members began to complain for Haas, and in fact expressed their dissatisfaction with the line referee. In one game, there have been three misjudgments. The performance of the line referee today is obviously not up to standard.

The line referee was also very annoyed. He made a misjudgment on this ball, and he also realized that he might have made a misjudgment on the last ball, but neither side challenged the last ball.

"I thought the ball was a foul just now, but I didn't dare to call it. It seems that I was affected by the previous two misjudgments, so I was a little too cautious in the penalty. I should still trust my judgment! Don't be affected by it." Influenced by other factors." The line manager made up his mind.

For this ball, the referee's penalty was a re-serve, not a mistake, and Haas had no objection to this. In a situation like this, the referee's mistakes cannot be blamed on the server. Under normal circumstances, the penalty is not counted, and the two sides serve again.

The server may score directly if the challenge is successful, and the receiver will be sentenced to serve again if the challenge is successful. This may sound a bit unfair, but this is the case in tennis games. The server has advantages in all aspects, including challenging the rules of Hawkeye use. And considering that the serving opportunities of both sides are equal, it is actually fair.

Since the ball was sentenced to be resent, Zhang Guan still had two chances.

Zhang Guan started to serve again, this time he slightly adjusted the landing point and controlled the ball's landing point to be closer to the back line.

"Boom!" After the tennis ball hit the ground, Haas had already reached his position and returned a forehand return. Unfortunately, the quality of the return was not very good.

"OUT!" The line referee's voice sounded at the same time, and at this time Haas's return ball was still in the air and had not landed. Obviously, the word "OUT" indicated that Zhang Guan's serve was out of bounds.

The line referee's expression was extremely firm, obviously confident in his decision this time.

The next moment, everyone looked at Zhang Guan, and they were looking forward to Zhang Guan's third challenge.

However, Zhang Guan slowly took out the spare tennis ball from his trousers pocket, preparing for the second shot. Because Zhang Guan knew that there was no problem with the penalty of this ball, it was indeed a foul ball.

"Hey..." The audience showed disappointed expressions instead. Zhang Guan's third challenge to Hawkeye did not appear.

"Zhang Guan did not challenge Hawkeye. To be honest, when I heard the word 'OUT', I thought Zhang Guan would challenge Hawkeye again! But it seems that Zhang Guan is also very self-aware. He is not sure whether the ball is out of bounds. Very confident, or maybe he doesn't dare to gamble again." The commentator said.

"My judgment is correct! Sure enough, I still have to stick to myself." Because of the correct judgment this time, the line referee's confidence returned all of a sudden.

Zhang Guan started the second serve. This time he chose the opposite landing point from the first serve, but the ball still hit near the sideline.

Haas didn't catch the ball, but he stopped, his eyes fixed on the spot where the tennis ball landed, trying to recall whether the ball landed in bounds.

On the display board on the sidelines, the number 211km appeared, indicating that the speed of the ball had reached an astonishing 211 kilometers per hour!

"OUT!" The line referee's firm voice sounded, this time he straightened his back and spoke a little louder, obviously at this time he was very confident in his judgment.

"I want to challenge!" Zhang Guan signaled to the referee again.

The audience immediately cheered. Although the result of the challenge has not yet come out, Zhang Guan's challenge is obviously a long-awaited plot. For these audiences, watching the result of challenging Hawkeye is obviously better than watching the game. The process is more interesting.

The commentator suddenly became energetic: "Zhang Guan wants to challenge Hawkeye, and he will challenge again. If the challenge fails and the ball does go out of bounds, then the score will come to 40-15, and Haas still has a chance to break serve; And if Zhang Guan succeeds in the challenge, I think he can win the first game smoothly!"

A few seconds later, a 3D simulation image finally appeared on the big screen. Whether Zhang Guan's challenge was successful or not, the answer will be revealed soon!
