Chapter 1049: Power of Will
He can.
Li Zhe knows——
It's not belief, but knowing. He knows he can do it. Physical strength, fatigue, future, career and even dreams are all thrown behind him. He just focuses on this moment, watching the tennis ball and thinking about how he should complete the shot.
It was like going back to the time when I first started learning tennis, taking messy steps and repeating the boring shots over and over again.
But, he likes it.
Maybe in his long career, he has been tired of hatred, depressed, rejected, questioned, and confused, but at the beginning of everything, he really liked it.
That kind of joy, that kind of happiness, that kind of happiness...has really been forgotten for too long.
He knew he could make the shot.
Bite the bullet!
Pay full attention!
Push off the ground.
Fly and pounce.
With a diving header, he threw his whole body out, stretched out the racket forward, and gently and tenderly picked up the tennis ball on its falling trajectory.
Got it! Then, the situation suddenly changed! On the other side of the court, both Steck and Daniel moved, and before Li Zhe finished touching the ball, they had already predicted and blocked it in advance.
Slash!
Stek appeared on Li Zhe's diagonal hitting line, and Daniel began to retreat tacitly to prevent Li Zhe from picking a moon ball.
The two men moved very lightly and resolutely, making a comprehensive assessment of Li Zhe's hitting condition. However, when the tennis ball flew out of the racket, everyone was stunned.
straight line!
Just before Li Zhe took the shot, he caught a glimpse of Steck's movement from the corner of his eye, so he flicked his wrist slightly outwards -
Not big, but enough.
The tennis ball flew straight into the empty space.
It was too late for Stek and Daniel to move. They both turned around and looked in the same direction, but they could only sigh at the ball.
Whoosh! The flying arc of the tennis ball captured the attention of the entire audience. Countless burning and turbulent emotions vented down and finally fell with the tennis ball.
Like a shooting star.
Within the boundaries.
The tennis ball landed in bounds.
Boom! Li Zhe fell to the ground, the second time he fell after Zhang Ze.
The whole audience cheered, screams and roars, cheers and shouts all intertwined and collided together.
Gawain jumped high in the air, even more excited and thrilled than when he won the game. He clenched his fists, stared at the court, and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"fighting!"
Over and over again.
As they shouted, tears welled up in their eyes. Be it Zhang Ze or Li Zhe, at this moment, they were all fighting and they were all burning.
"fighting!"
Wu Di and Wang Chuhan also started to roar together——
Li Zhe did not give up. Li Zhe still did not give up. Li Zhe is still fighting and striving. The light of his dream is still so bright and dazzling.
At this moment, they are a community, both on and off the court, all united together, fighting side by side. If Li Zhe and Zhang Ze have no physical strength left, then they will be the most important and strongest backing, supporting them to continue fighting to the end.
Until the end of the world.
Li Zhe rolled over on the spot like a lazy donkey, then used the force of the roll to stand up again, clenched his fists and looked ahead.
He just knows.
The calf muscles were trembling, and I could clearly feel that the tendon was shaking violently, and I was almost unable to stand.
However, Li Zhe still stood there, staring at the other side of the court with complete oblivion, his determined gaze shining brightly despite his sweaty appearance.
Things are not over yet!
The ABS stadium was boiling, and the excitement was still rising.
After Li Zhe and Zhang Ze saved the break point with an unparalleled round ball, the state of both sides fluctuated slightly to varying degrees:
Mistakes, playing the lead role.
The Li Zhe combination also missed a game point, but finally managed to hold their serve on the second game point, putting pressure on their opponents again.
This game quietly changes the psychological balance——
Steck and Daniel are also ordinary people. They will also feel nervous, tired and fluctuating. When the game reaches such a tense and exciting moment, no one can be an exception.
In Daniel's must-win serve game, they missed a game point with a very simple volley error at the net, and then lost another point, giving away a break point.
Match point has arrived.
This was the first match point of the entire game, and also the match point in the Davis Cup match between New Zealand and China.
The plot has taken a turn.
At the beginning, the Chinese combination won two tiebreaks in a row, and everyone thought they would upset the New Zealand doubles team.
Afterwards, the New Zealand pair chased hard and won two sets in a row. People thought they were going to come back from a 2-0 deficit to win 3-0.
As a result, the deciding set was deadlocked until the end, and when it was about to enter a long set, both sides faced challenges in their own service games.

Just now, Zhang Ze and Li Zhe saved the break point, and now it is the turn of Stek and Daniel.
The home audience finally burst into passion, with endless shouts and cheers pouring down like a summer rainstorm, the whole stadium roaring continuously.
Daniel serves and Li Zhe receives.
Li Zhe's lungs were burning. He could clearly feel the burning sensation and the sense of release, as if a raging fire was setting his body on fire.
But he didn't mind.
Not only did he not mind, but he was completely immersed in it, staring at Daniel across the court with clear eyes, focused and persistent, with a murderous aura.
District 2.
Daniel is preparing to serve.
Inside corner? Close? Outside corner?
So, how should Li Zhe deal with it? Should he choose to fight?
The key point is that in today's game, their success rate of breaking serve is really too low. If they want to break the situation, what should they do? "Think."
Gawain's words reappeared in my mind.
In fact, the reason is not complicated. Everyone knows that competitive sports are not simply physical confrontations. Unless one has absolute overwhelming strength, like Usain Bolt in his prime, otherwise, they need to think and use their brains.
But how should we think about it?
They also had some break points throughout the game today, including Daniel and Steck's serve games. So when facing break points, how did the opponent serve, how did they set up their positions, and how did they formulate tactics? Li Zhe tried to calm down.
This is really not an easy thing to do.
Firstly, my physical strength and energy are already very exhausted, and my brain cannot function properly.
Secondly, time was too tight. Everything happened in just a dozen seconds, and then such a huge amount of information needed to be processed. The difficulty can be imagined.
"call……"
Li Zhe let out a long breath, his mind was a mess. It was not like in the online novels where he suddenly figured it out.
Now, all he could trust was his intuition.
Toes.
Toes!
Li Zhe kept reminding himself of his technical movements. When receiving the serve, he must keep his toes on tiptoe and keep his body light so that he can start at any time.
Here we come!
Daniel was throwing the ball, and an instinctive reaction pulled Li Zhe to move towards the forehand. Could it be... the outside corner? But Li Zhe did not move rashly in advance.
Push off the ground!
Swing!
Hit the ball!
Outside corner!
It’s an outer corner. It really is an outer corner! (End of this chapter)
