Entertaining Children

All that happened so quickly just now, Xiao Yao almost punched the tennis ball out based on the instinctive reaction of many years of martial arts practice, without much feeling, and he didn't know that the tennis ball was blown up by his punch. Xiao Yao himself was surprised when he saw the close-up picture on the big screen at the scene. Seeing that the big screen at the scene cut to his own picture again, Xiao Yao smiled and raised his right hand that had punched just now, clenched and opened the fist and repeated it several times, indicating that his hand was completely fine.

Li Ai saw Xiao Yao's movements through the big screen, put the tennis racket held in his right hand under the armpit of his left arm, and freed his right hand, raised his right hand with a smile and raised it in Xiao Yao's direction. Thumbs, and then handed the broken ball to the referee on the sidelines.

The referee took the tennis ball and looked at it, first showing a surprised expression, and then showing a wry smile. According to the rules of the tennis game, a batch of new balls should be replaced after the end of the round. Now that the round has been played for more than half, the referee did not allow another new ball to be added, but asked them to use the remaining balls. The lower balls are replaced together after the round has been played.

After this little episode, the game continued.

It seemed that this accident interrupted Kapunova's good form. Li Ai scored the next goal again, turning the score into a 40-40 deue and successfully saving her two break points. Afterwards, Li Ai scored two consecutive points, kept his key serve, and turned the score into 3-4.

After replacing a batch of game balls, both of them played normally, and neither of them broke serve. However, Kapunova was in the lead in this set, so in the end Kapunova also won the game 6-4. Points back a set.

The first two sets between the two were 1-1, and the next was the third set, which was the final deciding set.

Before the start of the final set, Li Ai also applied for the coach's guidance. Hearing the referee's notice, Rodriguez patted Xiao Yao's shoulder gratefully again, then quickly got up and left the auditorium, and ran into the arena.

"We saw that Li Ai applied for coaching guidance!" Xin Tong looked at the broadcast screen and said, "This is very rare in Li Ai's previous games. It seems that Li Ai really attaches great importance to this final."

"This is indeed a very rare situation for Li Ai," Ding Sheng commented, and then laughed, "I don't know if it was the accident that the tennis ball almost hit the coach just now, which reminded Li Ai during the tense game. Her coach was sitting in the auditorium."

"Whether Li Ai remembered it because of the accident just now, but in any case, Li Ai's master and apprentice and our audience should thank Xiao Yao." Xin Tong laughed, "If it wasn't for Xiao Yao, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to see that scene. It's a scene."

"That's true." Ding Sheng said, "It's a pity that the speedometer on the field only shows the speed at which the players serve the ball.

The speed at which players hit the ball during the game will not be displayed. Kapunova's highest serve speed record is more than 190 kilometers per hour. Although the catch that time was not as fast as the serve, it is estimated that the difference is not too much. If the ball hits Rodri directly Gus's face, I'm afraid he can't continue to stay in the audience to watch the game, let alone enter the field to guide now. "

"If Li Ai's performance can be significantly improved after Coach Rodriguez's guidance, and then win this final, I think Xiao Yao will also be one of Li Ai's heroes in this game." Xin Tong said with a smile.

"Xiao Yao brought good luck to Coach Rodriguez, I hope he can bring good luck to Li Ai too." Ding Sheng said, "Well, the break is over, and the final final set is about to begin."

Reminded by the referee, Rodriguez stood up in front of Li Ai. Before leaving the field, Rodriguez, who had already finished his explanation, suddenly added another sentence: "Young told me just now that he has been counting your stats. Kapunova made more forehand mistakes than backhands today. You should Attack the forehand position that she is better at. I haven't counted it, so I'm not sure if it's the case. You should feel more when you are on the court, and you can judge for yourself." Gold Medal Host

Tennis games are not like football and basketball. The coaches in the auditorium may not have the opportunity to enter the court to guide the players, and generally do not do those statistics. These things are counted by special personnel and organizations. The broadcaster can get these real-time data, which will be displayed to the audience in the interval between rounds and discs. Commentators and commentators will also discuss this, but no tennis player The coach will watch the game live and listen to the live broadcast on the radio to pay attention to the specific data, so Rodriguez's grasp and interpretation of the game is also relatively macro.

But Xiao Yao is different. His super memory allows him to replay the previous games at any time, and it is not difficult to mentally calculate the statistics of the two players. The sports that Xiao Yao is most interested in are football, basketball and tennis. Although he can only play basketball, he is a pure fan of football and tennis, but there is a professional tennis coach sitting beside him. Rodriguez was asked a lot of questions between each game and each set. During the communication between the two, Xiao Yao unknowingly expressed the data he counted together with some of his own opinions. He was just expressing his own opinion, and didn't intend to guide Li Ai, but this did not prevent Rodriguez from telling Li Ai what Xiao Yao said.

"Okay, I see, I will pay attention!" Li Ai nodded.

Rodriguez left, and the third-set tiebreaker officially began.

In the first half of the third set, the two played quite stalemate. Although in terms of points, Li Ai scored more points than Kapunova, but it was not reflected in the game points.

In a game, when you score four points, you can win the game if you let the opponent score two points, and you can win the game if you let the opponent lose one point. Or if both sides score no less than three points, Winning the opponent by two points is also winning the game. Li Ai's serve is very smooth, usually when the opponent has 0 or 15 points, he wins his own serve, and Kapanova often allows Li Ai to hit 30 points, or even 40 points. It's hard to keep the hair down. In terms of the overall situation, Li Ai obviously had an advantage over Kapunova, but the fact is that neither of them managed to break the other's serve.

In the first six innings, the two were tied 3-3. The seventh game was Li Ai's serve, and Li Ai successfully secured his serve again, successfully turning the overall score into 4-3. The next eighth game was Kapunova's serve, and Li Ai also made another effort to break serve.

Since this round, Li Ai's tactics have also undergone some changes. Kapunova's forehand is a strong point. In previous games, Li Ai attacked Kapunova's backhand position more, but in this round, Li Ai started to stare at Kapunova's forehand. Bit offensive.

This more risky move allowed Kapunova to hit two consecutive strikes and scored two points in a row at the beginning of this inning. Li Ai remained unmoved and continued to attack Kapunova's forehand on the third ball. Then, Kapunova made a mistake in her forehand attack, drawing a not too difficult ball out of bounds. Next, Li Ai continued to attack Kapunova's forehand, but Kapunova unexpectedly made two consecutive forehand mistakes, one out of bounds and one off the net, allowing Li Ai to score 40 It surpassed the small score by 30, and also got a key break point.

If Li Ai can successfully break serve in this game, he can rewrite the game score to 5 to 3, and then it will be Li Ai's own serve. As long as he keeps it, he can win the game. On this crucial ball, Kapunova made a mistake in her first serve. In order to seek stability in her second serve, she served a ball with relatively average speed and placement, while Li Ai, who was already ready to attack, made a direct shot. The ball hits the bottom corner of Kapunova's forehand. Although Kapunova, who rushed to the bottom corner, received the ball, her movements were a little distorted, and the tennis ball flew back slowly and high into the air.

Li Ai, who judged that the tennis ball landed in his own half, quickly ran to his net, stared at the tennis ball in the air, and made the racket movement early. Before the tennis ball hit the ground, he directly pulled the tennis ball back. The speed and angle of this ball are excellent, and Kapunova, who is standing in the middle of the baseline, is completely powerless against this ball.

Li Ai successfully broke serve, and the situation clearly fell to Li Ai's side. The audience also burst into loud applause and cheers. Emperor Chaos Huaxia

"Li Ai finally succeeded in breaking serve! Now the game score is 5 to 3, Li Ai leads, and Li Ai's serve is next. As long as there are no major mistakes and this serve is kept, the game can be won .” Xin Tong in the commentary also said excitedly.

"Yes, now Li Ai has a great advantage." Ding Sheng nodded, and began to analyze Li Ai's tactics in this round, "Li Ai played very aggressively in this round! We can see Li Ai hit Kapunova's forehand for several balls in this round. Kapunova's forehand is very powerful. Li Ai actually took a risky approach, but he did not expect that Kapunova Punova's forehand made several mistakes in a row."

"Actually, there are traces to follow." Xin Tong looked at the data given in the broadcast screen and said, "The data shows that so far in this game, Kapunova's forehand voluntary mistakes are more than those of her backhands." There were quite a few more. Even if this round is not counted, there were more forehand mistakes than backhands. Although we spectators don't feel that obvious, but Li Ai on the field must have this feeling, so he suddenly stared at Kapunova's forehand, and insisted on hitting the opponent's forehand when the first two goals were missed."

"Yes," Ding Sheng nodded, "A top international player like Li Ai is not only very skilled, but also top-notch in terms of judgment and execution."

After finally winning a break, Li Ai did not let the victory slip away. In the next game, Li Ai successfully kept his serve and won the final set with a score of 6-3, becoming the women's singles champion of this match.

As one of Kapunova's returns went out of bounds, Li Ai clenched his fists and roared excitedly, and the audience also burst into cheers.

After walking to the net and shaking hands with the opponent and the referee, Li Ai happily waved to the audience, took off the wrist guard, and threw it vigorously towards the audience. In the area where the wrist guard landed, countless hands stretched out immediately, scrambling for the wrist guard flying in the air.

Then came the awards ceremony. Li Ai, who was holding the championship trophy, also accepted a short interview with the on-site host and gave a speech about winning the championship. In addition to thanking his family, team and audience, Li Ai also specifically mentioned Xiao Yao who came to watch the match today. I thanked Xiao Yao for his punch at the critical moment, and joked that if Xiao Yao wasn't a big star, he would have paid a lot of money to hire Xiao Yao to be his bodyguard, which also aroused happy laughter from the audience.

After the award ceremony, Li Ai and Kapunova returned to the players' lounge. The audience began to exit, and Xiao Yao followed Li Ai's team members back to Li Ai's player lounge.

"Congratulations!" Xiao Yao immediately congratulated Li Aidao after entering the lounge.

"Thank you!" Li Ai happily stepped forward and hugged Xiao Yao, "Thanks to you today!"

"You play well yourself, what does it have to do with me?" Xiao Yao laughed.

"First, it's thanks to you sitting next to Gabi and helping him fly that tennis ball, otherwise he wouldn't be able to enter the field to guide at the end of the second set." Li Ai said with a smile, "Second, it's thanks to you This artificial data recorder, I remember that she made a lot of forehand mistakes today, otherwise I would not have taken the risk of attacking Natasha’s forehand continuously in the eighth game, forcing her to make consecutive mistakes and complete the only break of serve in the third set .”

"Hehe," Xiao Yao smiled, "Blocking a tennis ball is a conditioned reflex of the body. Those data were mentioned during the chat with Mr. Rodriguez, and I didn't expect to be of help. But I can help you, I Definitely very happy!"

Xiao Yao is not Li Ai's coach, so he will not interfere with Li Ai's tactical guidance. That sentence was just a passing word to Rodriguez when expressing his point of view while chatting with Rodriguez, and he didn't mean to ask Rodriguez to tell Li Ai, but Xiao Yao was naturally very happy that Li Ai could benefit from it.
