Chapter 35: Continuous Challenge

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

"I watched the video of Zhang Guan's match with Nalbandian before, and I thought that Zhang Guan might use the serve to play the net, but what I didn't expect was that he used this kind of heavy artillery serve, and the choice of landing point was so extreme, is this deliberately creating a sense of pressure to me? Originally, I was going to put some pressure on him, but now he put pressure on me first. However, this kind of ball that presses the line can only be regarded as lucky, and you have been hit twice in a row, so you shouldn't have such good luck when you take it! ”

At this time, Zhang Guan finally raised his hand to serve, and this ball was the same as just now, it was a flat serve, and the landing point was still very extreme.

"It's this kind of ball again! Are you going out of bounds? Haas pounced on him, his eyes fixed on the spot.

"Bang!" The ball bounced off the ground, this time looking similar to the previous one, as if it was out of bounds, as if it was pressing the line, and more similarly, Haas still didn't get it.

The line referee was stunned, after the first two misjudgments, and now facing the same goal, the line referee hesitated. In his opinion, the ball should have been out of bounds, but he felt the same way with the first two balls, and in the end, the Hawkeye system showed that the ball was in bounds.

"There can be no more miscalculations." The line referee was cautious and did not make an out-of-bounds decision.

“40-0!” The referee announced the score.

Haas's brows furrowed, the ball just now, Haas was very close to the point where the ball landed. In Haas's sight, the ball landed just outside the bounds, but the line referee didn't award a penalty.

"Am I wrong? No, it won't. I was closer to the ball, the ball should not have been pressed on the line, it could have been an out-of-bounds ball. Haas had some doubts in his heart, but he was not willing to take a challenge to test whether his suspicions were correct.

On the contrary, Zhang Guan, who was on the opposite side, secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this ball looked similar to the two balls just now, but it was actually out of bounds. Zhang Guan has already learned through the eagle eye of the system, but the line referee is much more cautious this time because of the impact of continuous misjudgments. There was no penalty out of bounds, which made Zhang Guan feel very lucky

"Good luck earning this point!" Zhang Guan let out a long breath, and then continued to serve the ball the way he had just served.

"Whoosh!" This time. The ball lands at exactly the same point as it was just now.

The line referee still didn't give the penalty out of bounds. If the ball with the same landing point twice, the first one is not judged out of bounds, and the second one is judged out of bounds, which is equivalent to hitting oneself in the face, which is obviously inappropriate.

However, Haas did not do it, because if he lost this ball, he would have lost the first game, and it would be a love-game loss.

"I really see it. It was indeed out of bounds, and the referee did not even make a penalty! This line referee is really unreliable! Haas glared at the line referee in annoyance. Then he signaled to the referee: "I want to challenge!" ”

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

"It was two consecutive challenges from Zhang Guan, and now it's Haas's turn, it's a really interesting game, and Haas looks confident in betting on this one," the commentator began.

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 closer, based on an out-of-bounds ball.

"It's a throw-in, a throw-in! Haas's challenge was also successful. I think Haas was so close to the ball that he could tell it was a throw-in! Oops, the line referee made another misjudgment, which reminded me of the previous goal, and the landing point was the same as now, the line referee thought it was a good ball, and both sides did not challenge, maybe the goal just now was also a throw-in! The commentator began to fight for Haas, and in fact expressed his dissatisfaction with the line referee, who had already made three misjudgments in a game, and the line referee's performance today was clearly unqualified.

The line referee was also annoyed, he made a mistake in this goal, and he also realized that he may have made a mistake in the previous goal, but neither side challenged the last goal.

"Just now I thought it was a throw-in, but I didn't dare to make a decision, it looks like I was affected by the first two misjudgments, so I was a little too cautious in the decision, I should still trust my own judgment! Don't be influenced by other factors. "The company made up his mind.

In this case, the referee's decision was to re-serve, not a fault, and Haas had no objection to this. In this case, the referee's mistake cannot be blamed by the server, and under normal circumstances, the first ball is not counted, and both sides re-serve.

It may sound unfair that a successful server challenge may score a straight point, while a receiver who successfully challenges a re-serve may be awarded, but that's the way tennis is inherently the case, and the serve has an advantage in every way, including challenging the Hawkeye's application of the rules. And considering that the two sides have equal service chances, it is actually quite fair.

Since the ball was re-served, Zhang Guan still had two chances.

Zhang Guan started serving again, and this time he adjusted the landing point a little to control the landing point closer to the back touchline.

"Bang!" Once the tennis ball hit the ground, Haas had already run to position and returned a return ball to his forehand, but unfortunately the return was not of very good quality.

“OUT!” The voice of the referee sounded at the same time, and at this time, Haas's return ball was still in the air and did not land, obviously this "OUT" indicates that Zhang Guan's serve is out of bounds.

The line referee's expression was extremely firm, obviously very 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 the pocket of his pants and prepared to serve a second time. Because Zhang Guan knew that there was no problem with the penalty of this goal, it was indeed a throw-in.

"Hey......" The audience showed disappointed expressions, and the expected Zhang Guan's third challenge to Hawkeye did not appear.

"Zhang Guan didn't challenge Hawkeye, to be honest, when I heard the phrase 'OUT', I thought Zhang Guan would challenge Hawkeye again! However, it seems that Zhang Guan is also very self-aware, he is not very confident in whether the ball is out of bounds, or he does not dare to bet again. The narrator spoke.

"I made the right decision! Sure enough, you still have to stick to yourself. "Because the referee's judgment was correct this time, his confidence suddenly returned.

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

Haas didn't catch the ball, but he stopped, his eyes fixed on where the tennis ball landed, wondering if it had landed in bounds.

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

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

"I'm going to challenge!" Zhang Guan signaled to the referee again.

The audience immediately cheered, although the result of the challenge has not yet come out, but Zhang Guan's challenge is obviously the long-awaited plot, for these spectators at the scene, watching the results of the challenge of Hawkeye is obviously more interesting than watching the process of watching the game.

The commentator suddenly came to the spirit: "Zhang Guan wants to challenge Hawkeye, he is going to challenge again, if the challenge fails, the ball is indeed out of bounds, then the score will come to 40-15, Haas still has a chance to break; And if Zhang Guan's challenge is successful, I think he can win the first game smoothly! ”

A few seconds later, a 3D simulation finally appeared on the big screen, and the answer to whether Zhang Guan's challenge was successful or not was about to be revealed! (To be continued.) )
