Pen Fun Club EbookFREE.me, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the all-round athlete!
Zhang Guan soon discovered that he did not have extraordinary talents in track and field, and still in tennis. Thanks to the two skills of "body coordination" and "body flexibility", otherwise Zhang Guan's tennis learning is really terrible.
Sharapova handed a towel to Zhang Guan and said at the same time: "My dear, IMHO, it seems that you really don't have the talent to play tennis, or you can help me control the tee!"
"Control the serve machine?" Zhang Guan sighed helplessly, and his serve is indeed not as good as the serve machine.
"Masha, I just didn't take it seriously! Do you want me to serve again?" Zhang Guan looked at Sharapova with anticipation.
Sharapova sighed helplessly: "Well, then try it with you again!"
Zhang Guan stood at the sideline again, picked up the racket and prepared to serve.
"Anyway, you have to learn to serve! Otherwise, you will always be despised by Martha, and you will not even be qualified to practice with her in the future!" Zhang Guan thought of this and found tennis-related skills in the system.
There are many skills related to tennis, and the skills related to the hand involve serving, receiving, topspin, downspin, high pressure, volleyball, etc., and the rapid movement in all directions of the footsteps, and the control of broken steps are also Have relevant skills.
Zhang Guan currently has a lot of skill points. Last year he participated in the IAAF Golden League, Grand Prix and Super Grand Prix together. There were more than a dozen games, which earned more than 30 skill points, and three times. There are also twelve skill points for breaking the world record. In addition, although the rewards in the first half of the indoor competition have decayed. But with two world records of 60 meters indoors, there are some dozen skill points credited. So at this time Zhang Guan's accumulated skill points can learn a lot of skills.
"Let's learn how to strengthen the tennis serve. When you reach the master level, there are three skill points. Just beating the beauty." Zhang Guan thought of this and learned the skill of "tennis serve strengthening" to the master level.
Subsequently, Zhang Guan took a deep breath, stabilized his movements, and threw the tennis ball into the air.
The quality of the serve, the toss plays a key role. The height of the toss should not be too high or too low, the position should be proper, and the shot should be as smooth as possible. The more tossing the ball, the better, such as hooking your finger, throwing your wrist, etc. are all unnecessary small actions for tossing the ball, which may affect the stability of the ball after being thrown. In addition, the less the rotation of the ball is, the better. If it is not rotating at all, straight up and down is the most conducive to serve.
At the same time, tossing the ball also requires the best time for the ball to disengage. The best point for the ball to disengage is the highest point where the palm rises. If the ball is dismissed too early, it will easily cause the ball to spin or shake in the air, affecting the stability of the ball; If the sale is too late, the ball will move in the direction behind the athlete's head, and it is not easy to follow the serve.
And the position of the toss also has an impact on the serve, generally if the position of the toss is higher. After serving, the power will be greater and the speed will be faster, but the hitting point will also be forward, it is not easy to grasp the landing position, and it is easy to serve out of bounds, so if you want to use a more aggressive serve, you will Throw the ball forward.
Conversely, if the tossing position is late. The success rate of serving will also be higher, and it is easier to control the rotation of the ball and the landing point of the ball. It is also easier to receive the ball after the opponent returns the ball, so if you choose a more stable and conservative serving tactic, you can change the position of the ball The toss is more backward.
For beginners, it is important to understand that "tossing" and "tossing" are two different concepts. To serve a tennis ball, you need to toss, not toss. At this point, Zhang Guan practiced many times before slowly finding his feelings.
The opposite Sharapova still has a charming smile. Tennis is a talented sport. She has already confirmed that Zhang Guan has no talent in tennis, so Quan Dang is playing with Zhang Guan.
"The feeling of throwing the ball this time is good, the height is okay, much stronger than the previous few times!" Sharapova commented silently in her heart.
Next, Zhang Guan started swinging and hitting the ball.
While tossing the ball, the hand holding the racket will begin to swing back. When the racket is swinged to a certain angle, the elbow will be used as the axis, and the forearm, hand, and racket will hang down to the back. At the same time, because the knee is bent at this time, it looks like a "bow". The angle of this kind of back swing is not clearly stipulated. Most of them vary from person to person, and height, hand length, gripping habits, etc. all have an influence.
The ball was thrown into the air, Zhang Guan's body also made a "bow" shape, the next moment, he began to hit the ball.
The hitting of tennis is not just relying on the strength of the arm, but on the power brought by the whole body, driving the racket in the hand to the hitting point, and successfully hitting the ball once, the last burst of power is just the moment of the hit . This is a whole movement. If you take the right-handed player as an example, the body actually rotates counterclockwise laterally while the upper arm rotates upward, kicking, heartfelt, turning, swinging, etc. The perfect combination can make a successful serve. In the process of serving, you often see athletes' feet leaving the ground. This is not an active jump, but the force caused the feet to passively leave the ground.
There are many other techniques for professional tennis players to serve, such as the most commonly used counter-rotating serve, relatively stable top-spin serve, and the most difficult American-style spin serve. The current Zhang Guan, obviously does not understand these techniques, the only thing he knows is the leveling serve used by beginners.
Although the flat serve has become a beginner serve, it is actually the fastest service method of all services. This service method requires fast speed, low rebound, and great power. For tall and sufficient athletes , Can be regarded as a big killer, but unfortunately the hit rate is relatively low.
International top tennis players, many people also like to use a flat serve in the first serve to fight for an ace or serve and score. After the first serve fails, they will choose to add rotation to the second serve.
"This action looks very good! More progress than before. The hitting point is relatively accurate and the movement is very smooth! This serve is considered a qualified serve!" Sharapova continued to comment.
Then, Sharapova was ready to catch the ball.
"Whoosh!" The tennis ball turned into a yellow light and flew over Sharapova, and at this time Sharapova was just about to start making movements, and the racket didn't even reach out.
"Serving so fast! The serving speed was definitely over 120 miles per hour!" Sharapova looked behind him in surprise, the ball was just hit on the fence wire, and then fell off, rolling on the ground.
Of the world-class professional male tennis players, if they use a flat shot to serve, the normal serve speed is probably at 120 miles per hour, while athletes such as Federer and Nadal serve more than 125 miles per serve. Normally, the second shot will generally be more than 10 miles slower than the first shot. But Zhang Guan is just a beginner. This kind of beginner's serve speed is far inferior to women athletes. Sharapova has never seen any beginner be able to deliver a 120 mph ball.
As a female athlete, the normal first serve speed is about 105 miles per hour, and the second serve may even drop to about 90 miles per hour. Among the female athletes, such as the most fierce serve, Williams, the highest service record is 125 miles per hour. So for a female athlete, it is difficult to catch a serve that exceeds 120 mph.
"It's a coincidence! It must be a coincidence! Just now the serving is so bad, how can I serve such a fast ball all at once!" Annoyed and dissatisfied, she shouted at Zhang Guan: "Come again!"
This time, Sharapova was not distracted to comment on Zhang Guan's serve, but focused on catching the ball.
Tossing, bowing, and hitting, Zhang Guan once again served.
"Wow!" Another yellow shadow flew.
"Come! It's still so fast!" Sharapova was surprised, but this time she focused a lot, and Zhang Guan's serve was originally the simplest flat serve, so Sharapova responded. She moved quickly, and then reluctantly made a return movement.
"It's over! The ball was so bad, it was either intercepted in front of the net, or you would get a reverse angle!" Sharapova made a precise judgment as soon as she returned the ball.
Then Zhang Guan ran over and returned a ball, steadily drawing the ball on the net.
The ball is not the net!
"Hahahaha..." Sharapova suddenly smiled happily, and she remembered that Zhang Guan was a rookie. Although the two servings were very good, the return was still a rookie. Sharapova just now A bad serve can only be said to be within the bounds, if the angle is not the angle, the speed is not the speed, even the lowest level professional athletes can easily complete the score, but Zhang Guan obviously can't do it.
Zhang Guan also felt very embarrassed. He also knew that he had missed a good opportunity to receive the ball like a scum.
"Laughs, if it's a game, it's only 15-15 now, and it's still my serve. Next I have to be serious." Zhang Guan stood in position and was ready to serve again.
"Master tennis catches the ball." At the same time, Zhang Guan spent three skill points and learned one skill.
"Wait!" Sharapova suddenly stopped Zhang Guan, and then asked: "You just served two times, almost the level of professional men's athletes. How did you do it?"
"Talent!" Zhang Guan smiled awesomely, and then said: "I am a genius! Be prepared, I want to serve!"
Zhang Guan's third serve, just like the previous two, Zhang Guan's serve speed still exceeds 120 miles per hour.
Sharapova responded immediately, and this time she was still in a hurry to receive, but both the angle and the landing point were much better than before.
However, Zhang Guan's performance has also improved a lot... (to be continued.)
