The voice of the guide sounded in the narrator's headset.
"After the advertisement is over, hurry up and say something. Although during the first game, Lee Hyung-Taik lost, we have to boost morale. Our entire country's audience is paying attention to this game!" The director said.
"But player Lee Hyung-Taik lost so badly, 0-6, how do you want me to boost morale! In the game just now, I have made a lot of excuses for player Lee Hyung-Taik."
"Then make other excuses, such as the weather is too cold or the weather is too hot, Lee Hyung-Taik is not a local player, so he a little uncomfortable."
"But Zhang Guan is not a native French player, and he is also from Asia, and he will also be affected by the weather."
"Then the sun is too dazzling, which is not conducive to Lee Hyung-Taik's play!"
"Single games of the tennis game are to exchange venues, which makes no sense."
"The reason for finding the venue is that the ground is too hard, or the ground is too soft!"
"Lee Hyung-Taik said before the game that he had an advantage in facing Zhang Guan on the clay court."
"The spectator's voice is too noisy! It affects the game."
"Well, Jin Dao, the European audience is still enjoying the show."
"Just referee bias!"
"There are ball marks on the clay court, even if the referee wants to be eccentric!"
The director froze for two seconds, then said angrily, "I don't care what excuse you find, in short, you have to say something to me!"
The director ended the call, and after ten seconds, the advertisement was over, and the microphone returned to the speaker.
"Dear audience friends, welcome back. In the first game that just ended, Lee Hyung-Taik player should not have fully exerted his strength, unfortunately, lost the game. However, the French Open is five sets and three wins. The winning game has just ended a game now, so you don't have to worry about Lee Hyung-Taik. I believe that in the next game, Lee Hyung-Taik will be able to catch up and defeat Zhang Guan!"
The commentator's remarks rekindled many Korean viewers in front of the TV.
"It turns out that player Lee Hyung-Taik has not yet fully exerted his strength!"
"Lee Hyung-Taik should no longer hide his strength!"
"Lee Hyung-Taik, the opponent looks very powerful, it's time to get serious!"
Various sounds were raised in the barbecue restaurant, and the diners looked at the TV with anticipation, and it was Lee Hyung-Taik who was ready to serve.
"Go!" Lee Hyung-Taik shouted. This time he was very lucky. The ball was almost on the sideline. Zhang Guan made a mistake this time when receiving the ball. The power was used more and the ball flew out of bounds.
15-0, Lee Hyung-Taik took the lead.
"Good shot, beautiful serve! This time Lee Hyung-Taik's serve was perfect. His opponent Zhang Guan was caught off guard and returned to the ball in a hurry. Federer and Nadal must also have trouble receiving this serve!" the commentator said excitedly.
There was also applause in the barbecue restaurant.
"Yes, this is Lee Hyung-Taik's strength!"
"Hahaha, Lee Hyung-Taik is awesome, it's the world's best!"
"Lee Hyung-Taik finally started to fight back! Just fight like this, and give the opponent a 6-0!"
"Lee Hyung-Taik is a world champion. Now he is finally going to achieve the level of world champion!"
The barbeque shop was instantly filled with endless praises.
"Well, who doesn't eat dumplings for the New Year!" Liu Yong said softly, unconvinced.
On the television, Lee Hyung-Taik also started his second serve. He attacked Zhang Guan's backhand with a more tricky angle. Zhang Guan hit the bottom line with his backhand, and then the two entered the rhythm of the bottom line.
In the French Open, the bottom line stalemate is the most common tactic. Sometimes when the two sides stalemate, long rounds of more than 20 beats are more common.
However, Zhang Guan did not intend to leave Lee Hyung-Taik too much time for the bottom line. He gradually moved his position to the bottom line by running, and then began to change the rhythm of his swing.
Lee Hyung-Taik still couldn't adapt to the fast-changing rhythm of Zhang Guan's play, and hastily lost the ball.
Next, Zhang Guan frequently used running and attacking methods, so that Lee Hyung-Taik could not easily control the rhythm of the game. As a server, Lee Hyung-Taik couldn't win with a single blow, and couldn't control the rhythm. The result of the game can be imagined.
15-15, 15-30, 15-40. Lee Hyung-Taik lost three goals in a row, and the service score at the opening became Lee Hyung-Taik's only score in the game.
At the most critical time, Lee Hyung-Taik even made a double-serving mistake and directly sent off his serve.
...
"Why did Lee Hyung-Taik lose again!"
A sigh in the barbecue shop. At 15-0, diners were still scrambling to discuss how Lee Hyung-Taik should fight back, but Lee Hyung-Taik immediately lost four consecutive goals and lost the game.
The narrator once again found various excuses, but many viewers in front of the TV believed the narrator's statement.
Most ordinary audiences only know a little about tennis. They don't have much professional tennis knowledge. They also lack an understanding of tennis tactics and playing. They don't know how to analyze the situation on the spot. Whatever the commentator is saying, must be true for them.
In the next few games, Zhang Guan made a break, Zhang Guan broke a break, Zhang Guan remade a break, and Zhang Guan broke again. Although Lee Hyung-Taik had several beautiful serves, it was still difficult to stop Zhang Guan's footsteps.
Another 6-0, Lee Hyung-Taik lost another set.
Lee Hyung-Taik was 0-2 behind, and he didn't win in either game. At this time, even spectators who do not know much about tennis can see that there is a clear gap between the two sides of the game.
The audience in Europe and the United States thinks that this result is very normal. Zhang Guan is the new Australian champion of tennis, and he defeated Federer to win the championship. This Australian Open champion is full of gold. Although the Australian Open is a hard court, and the French Open is a clay court, the Australian Open champion should not be losing in the first round of the French Open.
In the eyes of European and American audiences, Lee Hyung-Taik is just an ordinary player who has not played well in a career for 12 years. His strength is not as good as Zhang Guan. Losing a big gap to Zhang Guan is of course normal.
However, Korean audiences don't think so. Lee Hyung-Taik is their hero, and before the game, the media has raised the standard of Lee Hyung-Taik, so they have always been optimistic about Lee Hyung-Taik, but now Lee Hyung-Taik's performance in the game and the pre-match prediction gap is not good, the so-called higher expectations, the bigger the disappointment, it is the psychology of the Korean audience.
"Behind 0-2, if the next set is lost, player Lee Hyung-Taik will be eliminated!"
"This is the first round of the French Open! Is Lee Hyung-Taik going to be eliminated in the first round?"
"It's impossible. Player Lee Hyung-Taik is the world champion. How could he be eliminated in the first round!"
The South Korean commentator is completely speechless now. The scores in both sets are 0-6. He can't find any excuse to release Lee Hyung-Taik now. The commentator himself understands that there is indeed a big gap in the strength of both sides.
At the barbecue restaurant, a man with glasses stood up and said, "0-2 is behind, I don't want to watch any more, I'm going back. Boss, check me out!"
At another table next to it, the diners also got up and prepared to check out.
"What anxious, although Lee Hyung-Taik player is 0-2 behind, I believe that with his strong will, he will definitely be able to catch up with the second! I will continue to cheer for Lee Hyung-Taik! If the Lee Hyung-Taik player knows that we are cheering for him, he can play at a super level and beat his opponents!" said a young man, who looked like a young man who had just entered college and was still naive to speak.
"Let two chase three?" Liu Yong sneered, "You think too much! With such an obvious gap in strength, why do you refuse to accept reality?"
