Chapter 278 Opening the Heavy Artillery Mode

On the twelfth match day of the Australian Open, Rod Laver Stadium, the men's singles semi-final will be held soon, between Zhang Guan and Gonzalez.

In the open space on the sidelines, the reporters waited for the start of the game with all kinds of guns and short cannons.

Photojournalist Cole put the heavy camera on his lap: "It must be a boring men's singles semi-final! Zhang Guan and Gonzalez, one is a rookie who has just started playing professional games, and the other can only use brute force What's so interesting about this kind of competition! If it's not for work, I wouldn't want to come."

Cole yawned, and then looked at the Chinese counterparts not far away, but found that the reporters from China all looked excited, and they seemed to be extremely looking forward to the upcoming game.

"The Chinese seem very excited, but even if Zhang Guan wins, he is only the runner-up. How could he be Federer's opponent!" Cole snorted coldly.

At this time, both Zhang Guan and Gonzalez had completed their pre-match preparations.

"Friends in the audience, the second match of the men's singles semi-final at the Australian Open is about to start. The two sides are No. 10 seed Gonzalez and unseeded player Zhang Guan! Another semi-final that ended yesterday Among them, Federer has successfully advanced to the final, and the winner of today's semi-final will challenge the defending champion Federer in the final!"

"I think before the start of the Australian Open, absolutely no one would have thought that the semi-finals would be between Zhang Guan and Gonzalez. Standing out from the rest of the players also shows their extraordinary strength. We also wish the two players a good performance in today's game...Okay, the game is about to start, first is Gonzalez's serve! "

On the court, Gonzalez will hold two tennis balls in his hand. He tests the elasticity of the balls, then throws one of them to the ball boy, and then prepares to serve.

I saw Gonzalez took a deep breath, threw the ball high in the air, bent his body, and took a hit, and at the same time couldn't help shouting.

Accompanied by Gonzalez’s yell, the tennis ball has already flown over the net. For this ball, Gonzalez chose to land near the sideline, and saw that the tennis ball landed more than ten centimeters away from the sideline. Then pop up quickly.

Judging from the position of the landing point, the ball is not difficult to catch, but the speed of Gonzalez's serve is very fast. Zhang Guan stretched out his hand to catch the ball when the ball hit the ground, but unfortunately, the outer frame of the racket just slightly touched the tennis ball, changed the direction of the ball, and then the ball was still ejected out of bounds.

Gonzalez served and scored, 15-0. The speed of Gonzalez's ball also appeared on the ball speed display next to the court.

"205 kilometers! Gonzalez sent the ball at a speed of 205 kilometers per hour on the first ball. It's no wonder Zhang Guan didn't catch it!" While the commentator exclaimed, Gonzalez was ready to start the second ball.

With the successful experience of the first ball, Gonzalez's touch has improved a lot. This time Gonzalez seems to be using more force than before, and the choice of landing point is also more extreme than before.

"Whoosh!" The tennis ball is still within bounds, but the landing point is closer to the sideline, and the speed of the ball is also faster.

"ACE! 30-0" The referee immediately announced the score.

"This ball is so fast!" Zhang Guan looked at the ball speed monitor: "The speed is 210 kilometers per hour! Gonzalez's nickname of Chilean Artillery is really well-deserved!"

Although the serve at a speed of 210 kilometers per hour only made Zhang Guan a little surprised, the audience responded with warm applause. This speed of serving is not common in Grand Slam competitions.

"210 kilometers! A serve with a speed of 210 kilometers per hour! Such a fast serve, not to mention Zhang Guan can't catch it, even other players can't catch it!" The live broadcast screen was aimed at Gonzales at this time, and the commentary The official continued: "Gonzalez's start was very smooth. I don't know if he can replicate the state he had when he defeated Nadal in the last game."

Gonzalez continued to serve, and the success of two consecutive goals allowed Gonzalez to find some touch, so for the third ball, Gonzalez chose a more extreme landing point.

Under the strong swing of Gonzalez, the tennis ball flew towards the sideline, and Zhang Guan moved faster this time. Almost at the same time as the ball arrived, Zhang Guan also reached the position of receiving the ball.

The tennis ball bounced on the ground with a crisp sound, followed by the shout of the line referee.

"OUT!" The referee's penalty was accurate, and the ball was out of bounds.

Gonzalez's serve did not control the landing point this time, and the tennis ball landed five centimeters outside the sideline.

Gonzalez didn't feel frustrated, but instead looked at the position where Zhang Guan received the ball accurately.

"For the ball just now, Zhang Guan was able to reach the position of receiving the ball ahead of time. After serving this kind of serve three times in a row, Zhang Guan is probably already familiar with my serve. I need to change it a little bit, and make the landing point of the ball a little earlier. ’” Gonzalez took the ball out of his pocket, bounced it twice on the ground, and started his second serve.

"Drink!" Gonzalez let out a low growl again, and the tennis ball seemed to be encouraged by Gonzalez, and went straight to Zhang Guan's half.

"Sure enough, it's exactly what Coach Joyce said! The speed of the second serve is still so fast!" Zhang Guan ran forward quickly, barely catching the ball.

Many players who are good at serving will use a fast flat serve for the first serve to fight for an ace. However, if they make a mistake in the first serve, they will choose a more stable topspin serve or a chipping serve for the second serve, but they will never use it again. A quick flat serve. Gonzalez was different. Not only did he continue to use a flat serve for his second serve, but his speed and landing point were still very limited.

The success rate of Gonzalez's second serve is actually not high, and it depends on luck. If you are unlucky, you will make a double error and directly send points to your opponent. If you are lucky, you can put a lot of pressure on your opponent. making it easier to score.

This time Gonzalez was very lucky. Not only was the second serve successful, but the quality was also very high. Although Zhang Guan received the ball, it gave Gonzalez a chance to go online.

Gonzalez serves directly to the net. Although his speed was not very fast, since the opportunity came out, Gonzalez would not let it go. He directly hit Zhang Guan's gap with a forehand in front of the net and scored another point.

"It's 40-0! He has won the game point now, and it seems that there is absolutely no problem in keeping his serve! And Zhang Guan has only successfully received one ball so far, but the quality of the serve is not very high. Zhang Guan, who is famous for his speed Crown, for Gonzalez's high-speed serve, there is no good countermeasure."

"It's 40-0, keep up the good work, let's have a love-game!" Gonzalez felt that his body was slowly getting excited, and his serve was getting more and more felt. Then he threw the ball and swung his racket, and hit another powerful blow.

Zhang Guan didn't try to catch the ball this time, because the quality of Gonzalez's serve was higher than the previous ones. Not only was the speed fast, but the placement was also very tricky. He judged that he could not catch the ball.

"ACE!" The referee then announced that Gonzalez had won the first game.

"The speed of this ball exceeded 200 kilometers per hour. Today's 'Chile Cannon' is not only full of firepower, but also in heavy artillery mode! Two ACE balls and one serve score, and the speed exceeds 200 kilometers per hour. Gonzales It only took five minutes for Reis to win the first game. I think it must be a headache for Zhang Guan now. What Zhang Guan has to face is Gonzalez who has turned on the heavy artillery mode. It will be very difficult to break the serve.”
