Chapter 8 Mentality is the key 1
In addition to playing basketball, isn't it just watching football? An Yuexi said, "Watching professional football games."
What you are watching is not just an ordinary football match! Wang Beichen raised his eyebrows and affirmed, "You are definitely not just watching!"
"I also took notes." Having said this, An Yuexi understood that she had yet to discover a powerful weapon - analytical power.
"That's right, in the next set, your observation and analysis skills are likely to be the decisive factor in the game!" Wang Beichen's seemingly flippant assertion made An Yuexi dumbfounded.
She has never learned how to analyze. She just jotted down some key points based on instinct. She still doesn't know if it is a correct analysis. This is the analysis at the practical application stage?
"Brother Chen, what about you?" An Yuexi was speechless. This was doubles, and she was just a rookie golfer. Isn't it too flattering to her?
"I am responsible for arranging tactics, but you have to analyze everything you observe." Wang Beichen said.
Well, Brother Chen is still very reliable. He knows that she is a newcomer and can't do much, so she still needs to rely on him to guide the general direction.
When time is up, the two come on stage again.
Your side served in the first game of the second set.
The beating ball quickly popped out of An Yuexi's racket and landed on the opponent's court.
The angle of the ball was very good, but Amy, who was used to An Yuexi's tricky serves, didn't pose much of a threat and hit the ball back in a satisfactory manner.
Wang Beichen, who was guarding the net, reacted very quickly. His center of gravity was low and stable, and he didn't have to put much effort into getting into position to volley the ball back low.
The ball landed inside the doubles line. It was originally an excellent volley shot in front of the net, but it was caught and hit back by the Swiss boy.
An Yuexi failed to defend and lost the first point.
"Don't be anxious, take your time and observe." Wang Beichen patted An Yuexi, and they jogged to the baseline while teaching her, "Weaknesses are not easily exposed, so we will step up the attack and force them to make mistakes."
An Yuexi nodded, it turns out that this can still be the case on the court. When we are stronger, the opponent will adjust accordingly and show their hidden strength.
No wonder, from the beginning of this game, what Amy and the others gave her felt very different. Is it because their strength was displayed?
The second ball flew toward the opponent's court at a more tricky angle. Amy couldn't react in time, and An Yuexi recovered one point with an ace ball.
It's 15:15 now.
The third ball, the fourth ball, and the fifth ball were all difficult to score and keep serve.
"How is it?" Wang Beichen took advantage of the gap and asked.
"Continuing to attack with such intensity, I always feel that it is impossible for them to be able to do this." An Yuexi's observation and analysis gradually started, and Wang Beichen nodded in agreement.
During the change of court, when the two sides were passing the net, Amy suddenly looked at An Yuexi seriously, said something in German to her teammate, and passed by her quickly.
In the second game of the return game, An Yuexi felt the opponent's tactics of focusing on her, and she did not have an advantage in the return game. This game was scored by the German Amy.
In the third game, An Yuexi and the two struggled to hold serve. In the fourth game, the German combination easily held serve.
In the fifth and sixth games, the score continued to be stalemate and the game was tied at 3:3.
It's not good to go on like this! Both An Yuexi and Wang Beichen realized this. Soon after the strong attack, the opponent got used to this style of play and raised their level even higher than expected. Could it be that these foreign players haven't shown their best yet?
Use all your strength?
"How's the observation going?" Wang Beichen asked.
"The level of doubles between them is not very high, especially Amy. Although she is a defender, she controls the trend of the whole game and does not give any chance to miss the ball. Moreover, their tacit understanding is very good. We have nothing at all."
A tacit understanding." After observing a few games, An Yuexi and Bai Yin have a huge gap. The level of overseas players is already higher than that of domestic players. If nothing is done, this game will be very suspenseful.
"Tacit understanding cannot be developed in a day or two. In this case, you can first share your analysis."
"Their formations are changeable. Whether it's forward guard swapping, double net play or double bottom line, they are all very familiar with it. But we only know the basic doubles formation. Once the formation is broken, the other side most of the time has no time to defend."
, it is easy to be taken advantage of." An Yuexi continued to analyze, "It is unrealistic to think about formation now, it is better to think about how to destroy their formation."
"Are you going to destroy the formation?" Wang Beichen looked at his two opponents in the doubles who were discussing in low voices on the sidelines, and glanced at them from time to time, "We can do this..."
"Is this okay?" A temporary change of formation is not considered a tactic. Not only is she unfamiliar with this style of play, but Wang Beichen, an amateur player with three years of golf experience, may not be able to adapt to this kind of extreme concentration test in a short period of time.
An Yuexi was skeptical about the fighting method.
"Calm down and don't be anxious. Use two plates to try the effect first. If it doesn't work, then think of another way." They can't think of any other way for the time being. Anyway, they already have a plate in their hands, so they can let go of this plate.
beat.
In the seventh and eighth rounds, both sides continued to maintain their respective stances of maintaining serve.
When it came to the most important ninth game, An Yuexi's non-tactical formation gradually took effect.
The avant-garde changes to the defender, and the defender becomes the avant-garde, but the defense of the left half and the right half also changes at any time according to the landing point of the ball, and the defensive and offensive roles of each ball are changing.
In the most important ninth game, this special style of play really confused the opponent. They were probably still doubting whether this style of play was possible in doubles. Because An Yuexi and An Yuexi did not superficially change the confusion of the former defender.
The other party has really changed!
Generally speaking, in a doubles match, the forward and defender are two roles with a clear division of labor. Even if different doubles formations are used, the main duties of the forward and defender will not be interchanged. This is the complementary style of the two players who combine to form a doubles player.
It is decided and will not be changed easily.
German Emmy and her teammates started to be confused from the fifth set. The role of forward guard changed so quickly. Those two Chinese players, wouldn't they themselves get confused?
Indeed, even the most skilled doubles players would be asking for their own demise. However, An Yuexi was a newcomer to tennis and did not understand the hidden rules of the doubles arena. She did not have a deep understanding of the division of labor between the front and back, so it was easy to switch.
The most important thing is that Wang Beichen understands An Yuexi and himself better. Otherwise, such an improvised approach would probably confuse them.
However, this all-consuming tactic consumes several times more mental energy and attention than usual, and the physical consumption increases accordingly.
Practice has proved that this tactic is okay as a surprise. The surprise lies in the unexpected. When this kind of surprise becomes the norm, the situation will become dangerous. But fortunately, the serve can be saved.
Use this special style of play to temporarily protect your serve, but breaking serve is far away.
Neither side could break the other's serve, so in the twelfth game, at 6:6, neither side could break serve, so special rules were adopted and the game entered a tie-break.
In the tie-break, the first to score seven points wins the game, but if the tie reaches 6-7, the game continues until the two sides are two points apart.
"Aimee and Qiao Ye won the second set, with a score of 6:7. The game score was 1:1. In the third set, the deciding set, An Yuexi and Wang Beichen served."
