The South Korean commentator looked stunned.
Just five minutes ago, while the two athletes were still preparing for the match, the narrator had briefed the audience on the situation of the two. The power on the court will be greatly reduced. With Lee Hyung-Taik's strength, he will be able to deal with it freely, and he constantly emphasizes that Lee Hyung-Taik has a great chance of breaking the game in the first game.
However, the fact is that Zhang Guan only spent more than two minutes to successfully win the game, which also includes the time for the referee to come down from the high stool to check the tennis landing point. This contrast gives the South Korean commentary a sense of self-control.
"I have checked a lot of information before the game, and I have read recent media reports. Aren't those experts saying that Zhang Guan's serve is not suitable for the clay? Why can Zhang Guan still send two ACE balls in a row? Why was it a love-game? Lee Hyung-Taik's player hasn't even won a ball, how can I justify myself!"
The South Korean commentator kept talking, but in the headset, the director began to urge him to speak faster.
He deserves to be a professional sports commentator, and in the next second, he thought about his speech.
"In a tennis match, the first game of both sides is usually a warm-up process. At the same time, if the two sides are fighting for the first time, it must also be a process of trial and error. The player Lee Hyung-Taik is playing a game with Zhang Guan, so he is still not familiar with Zhang Guan, so he is also tactically testing Zhang Guan. Now after a trial of the game, Lee Hyung-Taik player must know some of the flaws of his opponent, and then Lee Hyung-Taik player will serve the next game, I think Lee Hyung-Taik's players will use the storm-like offensive to win the next game!" The tone of the South Korean commentator became more and more excited as if Lee Hyung-Taik was about to win the whole game soon.
At the barbecue restaurant, the diners nodded their heads in agreement. They very much recognized the commentator's set of excuses, and in their subjective consciousness, they also believed that this excuse was correct.
Many times, people's cognition of things do not depend on truth, but on their subjective cognition. So there are so many stubborn people in this world.
On the field, the two sides started the second game, followed by Lee Hyung-Taik's serve.
The first game ended too quickly, and Zhang Guan also issued two ACE balls, so Lee Hyung-Taik did not feel the difference in strength between the two sides. What Lee Hyung-Taik can make clear right now is that Zhang Guan's forehand's topspin is very hard.
Since Nadal swept the clay court with that kind of perverted topspin, there has been a consensus in the tennis world that on the clay court, the topspin must be played as much as possible, because topspin is the most stable and easiest way of hitting the ball that causes killing. So on the clay court, even Gonzalez's heavy gunners will often use topspin.
Therefore, Lee Hyung-Taik wasn't worried about Zhang Guan's topspin. After all, it was a clay court and a Grand Slam match like the French Open. The players must have to desperately play a topspin, and Zhang Guan played it this way. It is reasonable to spin a ball with a lot of spins.
The next service was to show Lee Hyung-Taik's strength. Of course, the so-called "serving is not strong" is for the world's top players. Lee Hyung-Taik's world ranking is more than 40 and compared with players of the same level, Lee Hyung-Taik's serve is quite satisfactory.
However, at the moment, Lee Hyung-Taik is facing a stronger opponent than Federer. In Zhang Guan's eyes, Lee Hyung-Taik's serve is weak.
Lee Hyung-Taik stood outside the bottom line, looked at the position of the crown opposite, and started to serve.
"Did Zhang Guan deliberately serve two ACE balls to scare me? Now I want to return!" Lee Hyung-Taik was also preparing to fight for an ACE ball to boost his morale.
"Go!" Lee Hyung-Taik also chose a landing point near the sideline. He shouted, and tennis drew a trajectory in the air and landed in Zhang Guan's half.
The landing point of this ball is very close to the sideline, and the angle is very biased. After landing, the ball flew directly out of bounds.
However, due to the lack of strength, the speed of this ball is not fast. After bouncing on the red ground, it lost a lot of energy, and the ball was slower.
"There are landing points and angles, but unfortunately there is no speed!" Zhang Guan quickly rushed forward, if it is a player ranked about forty in the world, it may feel that the ball is more difficult to receive, but the movement speed of Zhang Guan is very fast so he can easily return.
"Oh!" After the racket came into contact with the ball, a clear sound came into Lee Hyung-Taik's ears.
"Zhang Guan's moving speed is so fast!" Lee Hyung-Taik sighed in his heart and then responded with a forehand topspin.
Lee Hyung-Taik also knows that his strength is not dominant, so the strategy formulated before the game is to rely on the topspin to play steadily and find opportunities in the stalemate.
"It's time to compete with patience!" Lee Hyung-Taik sighed inwardly, and then thought, "If Zhang Guan chooses to go on the net, that would be better. The play in front of the net is simply not suitable for the clay court, even before the net. The master of France, Sampras, was unable to win a Grand Slam title on the French Open."
Zhang Guan did not rush to the net but also used a top swing to fight back.
Lee Hyung-Taik is already prepared this time. He knows that Zhang Guan's topspin is very strong and it will bounce higher, so he raised his arm to swing, and this time he chose the same direction of attack as the previous shot.
"The landing point of the ball is almost the same as the last one. This is an opportunity!" Zhang Guan suddenly stepped forward, he wanted to advance the receiving point and switch between offense and defense.
However, this action was mistaken by Lee Hyung-Taik for Zhang Guan to use the pre-net play.
"Does Zhang Guan want to go on the net? He really can't bear to use the pre-net attack to attack. It looks like he will go for it this time...Huh? Why did he stop?"
Although Zhang Guan took two small steps forward, he didn't come to the front of the net. Instead, he slipped after entering the bottom line. Then he forcibly hit the tennis ball with a forehand and turned to defend.
In this goal, Zhang Guan did not join the topspin to pursue a quick offensive and defensive conversion but directly used a flat shot, but the effect was very good. Lee Hyung-Taik did not expect that Zhang Guan would run quickly at this moment and then suddenly after the offensive and defensive transitions, his return in a panic seemed to be of no quality.
Zhang Guan directly drew the ball to Lee Hyung-Taik's neutral position and easily won the ball. With a score of 0-15, Zhang Guan temporarily leads.
There was a round of applause at the scene. Zhang Guan's sudden attack-and-defense transition was unexpected by the audience. In everyone's view, Zhang Guan's handling of this ball was very wonderful, and he played a very gorgeous counterattack.
However, in the Korean barbecue restaurant, the diners had an incredible expression.
"What's going on? This is Lee Hyung-Taik's serve game. Didn't the commentator say that Lee Hyung-Taik was going to launch a counterattack? Isn't there a stormy offensive? Why did he lose the ball as soon as he came up?"
