Chapter 1048 Team Spirit
What...what?
Everything happened so fast that Steck had no time to react. He instinctively stretched out his racket, went around his body, and blocked it reflexively from behind.
but!
Stopped! Stopped! Unbelievable! The whole audience was stunned, and all the sounds were strangled in their throats.
At this point, you can see the talent for handling the ball in front of the net. A subconscious raise of the racket, without any calculation or layout, but hitting the tennis ball accurately.
Whoosh! The tennis ball drew a full parabola, passed over Li Zhe's head, and shot out to the back.
Stunning skills! Even Steck himself was shocked. He did not expect that he could complete the shot. However, he did not have time to exclaim. He immediately moved his feet and prepared for the next shot. His eyes quickly moved between Li Zhe and Zhang Ze, trying to make a judgment.
The tennis ball fell towards the large diagonal triangle area deep in the baseline.
On the sidelines of the court, Gao Wen and others were all worried because Zhang Ze was running, but from the chaos of his steps it could be seen that he didn't have enough power to push off the ground.
Some of them are beyond their ability.
Fortunately, Stek's return of the ball was an instinctive reaction, so there was no control at all, and it still gave Zhang Ze some time to move.
Zhang Ze crossed the court smoothly and came to the right side. He didn't fully exert his forehand power.
Because I can't push off the ground, I have no way to actively exert force.
So Zhang Ze hit a transition ball, but he also noticed that Stack was ready to make a move, so he hit it lightly in a straight line.
Directly opposite, Daniel came to the net, quickly entered the baseline, continued to press forward, and saw Zhang Ze's ball coming towards him. So, how did he deal with it? Flat hit? Attack? Power?
No! Daniel didn't.
Daniel used both hands to lightly flick and pick the ball, drawing a stunning rainbow arc, which once again passed over Li Zhe's head and flew towards the big triangle at the bottom line of the diagonal line.
Win with cleverness!
Huh! The whole audience exclaimed.
From Steck's back-hitting to Daniel's effortless lifting, these small details show the two players' outstanding doubles talent.
Having imagination and the ability to interpret and utilize the entire court space is indeed different from singles players.
Originally, Zhang Ze and Li Zhe had gained an absolute advantage through tactical planning, but Steck and Daniel's on-the-spot handling turned the situation around.
At this time, Zhang Ze was still in the blind spot on the right side of the baseline, and he couldn't adjust his center of gravity, because the most important thing for sudden stops and turns is knee strength.
At the same time, Daniel's light lob was aimed at the dead corner on the left end of the baseline. Even if Zhang Ze could cross the entire court to touch the ball, the quality of the return ball would probably not be high.
What should I do? —Li Zhe.
Li Zhe was retreating, moving in small steps, his eyes fixed on Daniel's moon ball, and then he realized that he could not complete the high pressure.
He made a prompt decision, turned around, and sprinted with all his strength, watching the flying arc of the tennis ball while continuously adjusting his steps to find the right hitting point.
However, the tennis ball keeps flying, flying and flying... a full and complete parabola, making the most of the doubles area of the entire court:
Daniel is not just aiming at the big triangle at the bottom line of the singles line, he is also aiming at the big triangle at the bottom line of the doubles line.
Moreover, tennis balls have a strong topspin and will continue to move forward after landing.
Li Zhe's footsteps have already reached the baseline. Seeing the tennis ball falling quickly, landing smoothly and entering the court, he is ready to return the ball.
As a result, I could only watch the tennis ball bounce off the ground and continue to move forward.
Tap tap tap.
Li Zhe is still running, Li Zhe still hasn't given up, Li Zhe is still fighting.
His body had already rushed out completely, but it was too late to turn around. He saw his body about to rush towards the billboard at the baseline like a derailed train, but his attention was still completely focused on the tennis ball, staring intently at the high-speed spinning mustard yellow ball.
Lift the racket above shoulder height, and then hit the ball over your shoulder at the highest point of the tennis ball's rebound.
Pop.
A light tap.
With his back to the court, he had no time to observe his opponent's position and could only rely on his intuition and the feel of his hands to simply hit the tennis ball back.
Brush! Push! An emergency brake, an emergency turn, Li Zhe was like a spinning top, quickly completing a 180-degree turn. In a dizzying turbulence, he searched for the position of his opponent, the position of the tennis ball, and the position of Zhang Ze. The light and shadow of the whole world were all mixed into a bright ball.
Vent it out.
I saw it! The ball actually went into the court!
However, Steck appeared on the line in time, cut back with a backhand, easily replayed a small ball, and hit the tennis ball back again.
Stek noticed the situation on the opposite court. Zhang Ze had already entered the baseline and followed up in time, cutting off the gap on half of the court. So Stek avoided Zhang Ze, cut a straight line, and hit the tennis ball back; and, in order to avoid Zhang Ze from filling the position, Stek cut a long ball.
It is obvious that the purpose is to make things difficult for Li Zhe.
huff.
huff.

Li Zhe's lungs were working like a bellows, overloaded; his knees were protesting and pushing hard against the ground, but the reaction force from the ground was spinning around his knees, making him almost unable to stand.
Although better than Zhang Ze, Li Zhe is not much better. Apart from his age, his physical fitness is not as good as that of youngsters like Zhang Ze and Wu Di. In recent years, he has been mainly active in low-level competitions, all of which are best-of-three sets. Naturally, the quality of his training cannot keep up.
Every muscle in my body is burning.
but.
Li Zhe had entered a state of complete oblivion, with only one thought in his mind: fight.
Refuse to give up! Refuse to surrender! Refuse to surrender!
At this moment, he was not fighting alone, there was also Zhang Ze, Gao Wen, Wu Di and Wang Chuhan, they were a team, and they fought side by side.
Energy bursts out continuously, adrenaline blooms like fireworks, and then nothing else matters, the only thing in your eyes and mind is the tennis ball.
brake.
Push off the ground.
start up.
The whole action was done in one go. Li Zhe didn't even have time to think about how Stek's shot would go. His only thought was to see where the ball would land and then sprint.
run.
Li Zhe burned like a flame, completely releasing all the burning energy, and completely relying on the strength of his calves to support his body forward.
The upper body leaned forward slightly due to the continuous acceleration, and the footsteps seemed to be unable to keep up with the forward speed, so that the whole person almost fell forward.
Stek's interception was still a little hasty. In order to avoid Zhang Ze, he failed to control the force release enough. In the end, the force release was not complete. After the tennis ball landed, the rebound height had already exceeded the net, which also gave Li Zhe time to move.
Sprint with all your strength!
In the players' rest area, Gao Wen's heart was rising high, almost about to explode. He held his breath completely. Time seemed to stop at this moment. All his attention was focused on Li Zhe who was running wildly, and he ran along with him.
One more point.
A little more.
Li Zhe's steps were already a little staggering, and then the tennis ball could be seen falling again. He stretched out his racket and his entire upper body was completely extended.
The light and shadow of the whole world are all focused on tennis.
He knows, he can! (End of this chapter)
