Chapter 80: Victory (Thanks to the Hundred Battles Heavenly Punishment Floating Red)
Director Du of the sports channel stared at the ratings statistics in his hand, but he kept smirking on his face.
"With a rating of 4.002%, the ratings actually broke '4'! It's really unthinkable, a game that starts at three o'clock in the afternoon, the ratings can break '4', this result is extremely rare even at seven o'clock in the evening, it is estimated that only the focus of the national football team or table tennis can have this kind of ratings! ”
Director Du was sighing, and a staff member knocked on the door outside and walked in.
"Director, a set of programs just now called, let's hurry up and produce a news report on the Australian Open final, and then report it as soon as possible, ready to be simulcast at seven o'clock." The staff spoke.
"Seven o'clock simulcast!" Director Du immediately sat up straight. The seven-o'clock simulcast can have a special significance, and the general sports news is reported on the CCTV sports channel, and only some large-scale events, such as the Olympic Games and the World Cup, can have the opportunity to be simulcast at seven o'clock.
"Is there a set of films that say how long it will take to cut? Is it a newsletter? Director Du asked.
A lot of sports news in the seven-o'clock simulcast is in the form of text messages, even if it is the World Cup final, that is, twenty or thirty seconds plus a few pictures.
I only heard this staff member say: "They said that if Zhang Guan won the runner-up, he would make a 30-second text message; If Zhang Guan can win, he will cut a two-minute news story first. ”
"A two-minute news report, that's the top treatment of sports journalism!" Director Du muttered to himself.
"The other set of people over there also said that if the seven o'clock simulcast and the award ceremony overlapped, it was likely that a one-minute award ceremony would be temporarily inserted."
Director Du's expression became solemn instantly, the programs of the seven-point news are all arranged in advance, and there is rarely a temporary insertion of news, once there is a temporary insertion. It represents a high degree of attention.
Thinking of this, Director Du stood up: "Call Lao Wu and Lao Chen to the cutting room, and I will personally take charge of this news." ”
……
Zhang Guan managed to hold his serve, and the score was 4-2 in the third set, and Zhang Guan only needed to win two more games to claim the final victory.
Federer's situation was already precarious. However, Federer still hasn't given up on the game, he is still working hard.
Federer managed to hold his serve and the score came to 4-3.
"Here's Zhang's serve, then mine, then Zhang's, and if both I and Zhang can hold serve, Zhang will win 6-4 after three games. With two service games left, there are not many opportunities left for me, and I have to take every opportunity. Federer asked for a short timeout. He had a racket and a new outfit ahead of schedule, and he had to adjust himself to the best condition.
The atmosphere on the pitch became more and more solemn, and many people could feel that Federer was about to take a desperate gamble.
Zhang Guan held his breath, he could already feel that the champion of the Australian Open was beckoning to him, the next moment. He swung his racket to serve.
Tee to the net, tee to the net, tee to the net, serve to the net...... Zhang Guan served to the net four times in a row and succeeded three times. The score of this game was 40-15.
For Zhang Guan now, after equipping the system with tennis rackets and tennis shoes, serving to the net has indeed become a very safe tactic.
Tactics in front of the net require players to have a relatively fast movement speed and a good ability to control the ball. The faster movement speed makes it easier for players to intercept tennis balls, while better ball control allows players to hit tricky landing spots.
Zhang Guan's new equipment has improved his movement speed and ball control ability, so he will use the front of the net to play more effectively than before.
Four tees to the net. Three successes, a three-quarters success rate, is a decent one for Zhang, but for Federer, this success rate is like a guillotine on the top of his head about to fall.
"Why did Zhang Guan start to play in front of the net at this time!" Federer gritted his teeth.
Before the match, Federer also wanted to have a good match with Zhang Guan's playing style in front of the net. But in this situation, Federer definitely doesn't want to be played in front of the net.
The pre-net style of play is a very active style of play, although the stability of the pre-net style of play is not as good as the bottom-line type of play, but in the downwind game, the front-of-net style of play is indeed more oppressive than the bottom-line type of play, which will make it easier for the opponent to make mistakes.
Especially in this situation, Federer is lagging behind in both big and small scores, and he will never dare to make mistakes. Although the probability of mistakes after Zhang Guan uses the front of the net play will also increase, the leader and the disadvantaged side will definitely make more money than the mistakes. If Zhang Guan makes too many mistakes, it is a big deal to lose a game, and Federer has too many mistakes, which is equivalent to losing the whole game.
……
Federer was unable to break serve in the game, and the score became 5-3, with Zhang Guan holding two set points, and more importantly, Zhang Guan also got a match point.
"Next came my serve, then Zhang Guan's serve, and I had one last chance." Federer could feel that he was standing on the edge of a cliff.
"In my service game, Zhang Guan will probably play more conservatively and then try his best to hold his serve in the next game, which will make it even more difficult for me to break serve. Victory is really getting farther and farther away for me. ”
Federer adjusted his mood and then started to serve. The tennis ball flew to Zhang Guan's half, and Zhang Guan pumped a backhand directly on the tennis ball.
"Huh? Not good! Federer suddenly discovered that Zhang Guan's goal landed on the sideline of the frontcourt.
This ball is very risky, and there is an eighty percent probability that this kind of landing point will be out of bounds. However, luck was on Zhang Guan's side, and the tennis ball happened to fall into bounds.
"I guessed wrong, Zhang Guan is not going to use a conservative style of play, he is going to fight for a break game! Is he trying to win in this game? Federer suddenly found that saving his serve had become his top priority.
Federer then sent an ace to equalize the score, then there was another error, and then the second serve was held for more than a dozen shots, and he barely won another ball to make it 30-15.
However, in the subsequent goal, Federer's bold net gave Zhang Guan a chance to counterattack, and Zhang Guanzhi equalized the score.
Federer scored on a serve to regain the lead, but the next ball was forced to go back to the net to dominate the game, and the two sides were evenly divided.
"It's divided! Now if either side wants to win, they need to win by two goals. The game is at its peak. ”
Federer started to serve again, and he tried to spell an ace, but it went out of bounds. In the second serve, Federer's choice was much more conservative, and this also gave Zhang Guan the opportunity, Zhang Guan gradually gained the advantage through powerful spinning balls in successive holds, and finally turned the advantage into victory.
"Zhang Guan takes the lead! He made a break point! If Zhang Guan can win the next goal, he will win the whole game! ”
As soon as the commentator finished speaking, Federer had already started to serve.
After the tennis ball flew over the net, it plummeted, and Federer used his trademark topspin serve.
Zhang Guan's forehand shot back, also a ball with a lot of spin, and Federer on the opposite side quickly got into position and struck a forehand with both hands.
The two sides began to move each other, Zhang Guan and Federer knew that this ball was very important, and they both seemed very cautious and did not dare to show the slightest flaw.
After ten beats, the two sides were basically evenly matched.
Twenty beats later, the two sides were still running.
Twenty-five beats later, the stalemate continued.
In the stands, many spectators stood up involuntarily.
On the field, the two have held each other for more than 30 beats.
XXXI, XXXII, XXXIII ...... Many spectators began to count the beats silently, but neither of the two on the court showed the slightest flaw.
"It's already forty beats!" At this time, some viewers have begun to get anxious.
The highest number of Grand Slam singles rackets was set at the 1978 French Open with 86, while the most terrifying record in tennis history was 643 in 1984, when the two sides played 29 minutes on that point. Today's 40 beats is less than a tenth of 643 beats, but in modern tennis, it is very difficult to hit 30 beats.
The continuous running and hitting made Zhang Guan feel that his physical strength was rapidly declining, and at the same time, Zhang Guan also knew that Federer on the opposite side would definitely not be much better. Now the two sides are engaged in a battle of willpower, and whoever breathes this breath first may concede this goal first.
At forty-five beats, Federer's pace began to slow down, which was close to his limit for the tennis king.
Zhang Guan's situation is much better, he seems to be better at running as a track and field athlete, and his steps are still agile.
"Is this the end of it?" Federer felt his feet grow heavier and heavier, and he knew he was running out of energy.
Forty-eight beats, Federer's catch has become very reluctant.
"Federer's stamina is going to be overwhelmed!" Zhang Guan knew that maybe with the next blow, he might be able to win the game.
Zhang Guan walked to the ball in a few small steps, swept the corner of his eye to Federer's half, and then slammed the ball into a position furthest from Federer.
Federer started to run, but he felt that his pace was starting to get out of control, and his speed was completely uncontrollable.
"Looks like it's really over here!" Federer sighed helplessly, and then watched the tennis ball bounce off the ground and fly out of bounds.
Zhang Guan raised his arms high.
"Win! I finally won! (To be continued.) )
