Chapter 82 Lighthouse
When the time did not come, An Sheng felt very disappointed, but when the time did come, he was a little confused.

In the quarter-finals on the third day of the competition, An Sheng finally met a strong opponent as he wished, that is, Chen Jialin, who also came from Kyoto and represented the Dingsheng Club.

Chen Jialin, 26 years old, currently ranked 17th in CTA, is the No. 7 seed player of this Kyoto Open.

The key point is that in the last round of the competition, Chen Jialin defeated Mao Liang, the No. 3 seed player in this tournament and No. 10 in CTA.

Being able to rank in the top ten already proved Mao Liang's strength, and Chen Jialin's ability to beat him for the first time was enough to show that his game state today is extremely hot.

There is no doubt that An Sheng was very excited after learning that he met Chen Jialin. He believed that in this game, he would be able to find the "sense of oppression" he had been pursuing before.

But when the game really started, he found that the game was not under his control.

In the first game, An Sheng took the lead in serving.

Under the excitement, An Sheng's first serve was very good, with high quality, and as usual, he gained the advantage of serving.

However, An Sheng deliberately wanted to test Chen Jialin's strength, so he did not rush to score, but used a topspin ball that could better control the landing point.

Similarly, the quality of his topspin shot is very good. Although the angle is not big, it lands deep and has a strong topspin.

As for Chen Jialin's strength, he was indeed very strong. Faced with this very difficult topspin, he easily used his two-handed backhand to hit a straight attack.

It was just this shot. On the scene, Chen Jialin had already completed the transition from defense to offense.

But at this time, An Sheng was still not in a hurry. Since there was no good opportunity to attack, he adopted a rather conservative chipping ball and wanted to make a transition.

His thoughts at this time still wanted to take one more shot with Chen Jialin, so that he could find the "oppressive feeling" in this way.

But in the next fear, his plan fell through. Facing his good-quality cut, Chen Jialin was very decisive, and once again forcibly hit a straight line attack, and the quality of the counterattack was very good. Very extreme to the sideline of An Sheng's forehand.

In this way, An Sheng could do nothing to catch up.

"It's really amazing."

After losing the first point, An Sheng was still very calm, because he had a reason enough to convince himself, that is, at the beginning, he deliberately did not take advantage of the serve, and only made a test.

On the second ball, An Sheng was not relentless. Relying on his steady serve, he gained the advantage again, and then without hesitation, he used his best forehand to hit a high-quality diagonal attack.

But immediately, An Sheng discovered that his attack did not achieve very good results.

Chen Jialin's mobility is very strong, even if it is involved in a large angle, he can arrive in time. More importantly, his batting action is very fast. Compared with ordinary players, he is not so long. But the effect of hitting the ball is just as good, or even better.

This was beyond An Sheng's expectations, but facing Chen Jialin's still high-quality counterattack, he had no way to attack. In order to prevent mistakes, he could only choose to defend.

As a result, Chen Jialin turned from defense to offense again, and successfully completed this very critical transition. Then, he did not give An Sheng a chance to counterattack at all, and launched continuous attacks, which was also constantly accumulating his advantages until finally, completing the fatal one. hit.

And after passing these two goals, An Sheng naturally discovered the strength of Chen Jialin. When the scene is not dominant, he can always find a way to force a high-quality counterattack, thus bringing the situation back. .

Moreover, the success rate of his shot is very high.

This is obviously not normal, because An Sheng can feel that Chen Jialin's physical fitness and his tennis skills, that is, at the peak of the 50 stage, are basically similar to him.

But if An Sheng was to complete the transition from defense to offense, he would indeed have a chance to do it, but his success rate would definitely not be very good.

After all, the premise is that he does not have an advantage on the scene, and the opponent's offense is still very sharp. If he wants to forcibly reverse this situation, he feels that he still cannot do it. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to defend before.

So what is the reason that Chen Jialin, whose hard power is similar to that of An Sheng, can do things that An Sheng can't?
"Perhaps he is in a better competitive state now."

Without much time to think deeply, An Sheng could only guess like this.

In fact, he didn't have any more thoughts to think about this issue, because his current attention was all on finding the "oppressive force" he wanted.

But what made him very irritated was that in the previous two goals, he was obviously suppressed by his opponent, but he still did not feel the "pressure" Luo Zhilin told him.

Time is running out, An Sheng has to return to the game, and he also hopes to find that feeling in the next game.

As a result, he was very disappointed and confused at the same time.

For the next two goals, he felt that he had tried his best, but he still lost, and the loss was worthless, and he didn't get what he wanted.

This annoyed him, but obviously, this kind of unexplained anger would only make him lose his composure.

Under such circumstances, his performance on the field is conceivable. He even felt that this game is meaningless to him, and he has lost his desire and fighting spirit for the game because of this. .

In the second game, it was another zero egg, which was won cleanly by Chen Jialin.

But for another failure, An Sheng seemed a little indifferent. He is a little bit of a demon now, and his mind has always been on the so-called "oppressive feeling".

But in fact, if An Sheng didn't wake up and understand what the real "oppressive feeling" is, then let alone this game, even if he was asked to play ten or a hundred more games, he would not experience it. that feeling.

Fortunately, when he was at a loss, there was someone standing behind him, like a lighthouse guiding the course, showing him the way forward.

"Ansheng! Victory! What you want to pursue is victory!"

An Sheng heard the shout from behind, and looked back, it was his coach Sun Binghua, at this moment, he was shouting to him anxiously.

But An Sheng still didn't understand what he meant, victory?

For me, if I can't find the "oppressive feeling", I can't make progress, I can't break through my bottleneck, even if I win the game, what's the use?

"Wow~"

At this moment, An Sheng suddenly heard the cheers of the audience again, looking for his reputation, it turned out that on the field next to him, a player won a ball beautifully, which aroused the cheers of the audience.

The important thing is that An Sheng also saw that the contestant whose name he didn't know was excitedly waving his fists and shouting loudly, celebrating his victory.

For a moment, An Sheng's eyes lit up, and he seemed to understand.
