Chapter 1071: Serving to Break the World Record

"Oh!"

When he made this aerial volley, the whole stadium in Court No. 1 exclaimed again, because this move was so rare in tennis matches, full of the kind of violence that was not seen in tennis, giving everyone a feeling they had never had before.

Montanez had only run two steps when he heard a bang, and then amid the exclamations of the whole stadium, he heard the voice of the chief referee:

"2:0."

"Pah, pah, pah..."

There was warm applause in Court No. 1.

"My God, is the hammer playing tennis? Why do I feel like he is the guy opposite the blood cap? Has he turned the elegant sport of tennis into basketball?"

Jordan shouted in an incredible tone.

"Haha..." Kobe was almost laughing.

Next, Li Ba turned and walked towards the caddy, who hurriedly ran towards him and put a few balls on his racket. He picked three.

Back to the right half of the court to serve, Li Ba was ready, and finally looked at Montanez.

At this time, Montanez no longer dared to underestimate Li Ba.

"Bang!"

Li Ba served.

"ACE!"

The referee's voice rang out.

Everyone on Court No. 1 looked at the speedometer, which had a number on it: 260KM/H.

"Oh!"

This really broke the world record, and the whole audience exclaimed.

The referee looked at the bottom judge, who wanted to confirm the validity of the ball, and the latter immediately spread his palms and moved them up and down, making a gesture of valid serving.

"3:0. Game point."

The score changed, officially confirming that Li Ba had broken the world record for men's serve.

Moreover, Li Ba scored three points in a row and got the game point, and was about to hold his serve successfully.

Li Ba prepared to serve again, and looked at Montanes again before throwing the ball.

Montanes took a deep breath, and when he saw Li Ba's eyes, he felt like he was being stared at by a beast.

"Bang!"

Li Ba served.

Montanes intercepted again in advance.

But this time the edge of the racket hit the ball, and the return ball was not well controlled. Although it returned over the net, it went out of the sideline.

"4:0, one game is over, the first set, the game is 1:0, Li Ba is leading." The voice of the chief referee sounded.

Amid the applause of the scene, the two changed sides and fought again.

Li Ba came to the other side with his bag. It was hot, so he wiped his sweat first, drank two sips of water, wiped his sweat again, and finally went on the court.

There was no rest time after the first game. Twenty seconds of water drinking time was allowed, and then the next two games were changed, and you could rest for 90 seconds.

If you want to go to the bathroom, you can, but the time will be longer, two to three minutes. Men can go to the bathroom once a game.

There is another way to rest, you can apply for a medical timeout in advance, the time is five minutes.

This game is the opponent's serve, and Li Ba received the ball.

He held the racket with both hands and was ready, that is, locked the ball.

His position was in the middle, because in a single game, the end line is 8.23 ​​meters, and the half zone is a little more than 4 meters. For him, the length of his arm plus the racket does not need to move at all. Standing in the middle position can block the entire half zone.

Moreover, his backhand is a one-handed grip, which is faster for controlling the half court.

"Bang!"

Montanez served.

In Li Ba's lock, he felt that the ball speed was average, not exceeding 200 kilometers per hour. According to the locked arc trajectory, it was an inside corner ball.

With the right hand holding the racket, the ball bounced high over the net and fell to the opponent's left half court near the end line.

The landing point of this ball was unexpectedly good, and Zhang Depei in the stands couldn't help but nod.

After Li Ba returned the ball, he immediately went to the net. This was the tactic formulated by Zhang Depei for him. First give a high ball, and if the landing point is close to the end line, then go to the net.

With his height and arm span, as well as the speed and height of the bounce, plus the precise hitting ability, his other skills are average, but he has a greater advantage in front of the net than at the baseline.

Montanez moved quickly, running from this side to that side.

After the ball landed, it bounced high and bounced to the end line, which just gave Montanes some time. He rushed over, held the racket with both hands, and hit it backhand.

But at this time, Li Ba had already finished going to the net and was guarding in front of the net. When the ball came, he moved in two steps, jumped up, swung the racket and hit it. The ball instantly hit the opposite court and then bounced to the end line again.

This time Montanes didn't catch up. He just turned around and could only watch the ball fly out of the end line.

"0:1." The referee shouted.

"Beautiful, Hammer, try to break the serve!" Zhang Sheng shouted excitedly in the CCTV live studio in Beijing.

Tong Kexin shouted excitedly: "Is Tiechui the tallest person in the tennis world now? His arm span is definitely the first in the tennis world. With the height of his hit just now, my God, how much advantage does this have at the net?"

Zhang Sheng laughed and said: "It's like building a wall at the net. Oh, by the way, his nickname is also called Flood Control Dam, which is really well-deserved!"

Montanes served first, this time to the outside corner.

Li Ba hit a forehand topspin ball, but unfortunately, it went out of bounds, just a little bit outside the end line. Montanes made an accurate judgment and did not return the ball.

"1:1." The referee shouted.

Montanes served first, still to the outside corner, and the ball speed was faster than the previous two serves.

However, with Li Ba's nerve reaction speed, he immediately made a forehand return swing in time.

However, Montanez's serve was a backspin serve, and the height of the rebound was very low. Li Ba's judgment was wrong. He did not slice well, his slice technique was not very good, and the quality of the return was not high. The ball was thrown too high and the return did not pass the net.

"2:1." The referee shouted.

After scoring two points in a row, Montanez breathed a sigh of relief. He also felt some of Li Ba's situation. In addition to serving and net skills, his receiving skills were also average, and he had little experience. He still had a chance to save his serve in this game.

Of course, he also noticed Li Ba's grip, so the backspin just now was also an attempt to see how Li Ba's ability to receive low balls was. Now he has achieved his goal.

Montanez's first serve was another backspin ball, which hit the inside corner.

Li Ba locked in, and when he was about to hit the return ball, he gave up hitting it because he judged that the ball was out of bounds.

"Error."

Sure enough, the next moment, the referee issued a command.

Montanez's second serve was still a backspin ball, and this time it hit the outside corner.

This time, Li Ba didn't slice the ball. He just pulled it hard, just like a forehand loop in table tennis, with strong topspin, and pulled the ball back.

And his grip is just conducive to hitting the strongest topspin, and he also has super strength, which are all his advantages.

But this kind of strong pull is topspin plus spin, which requires very high control of the ball. If you can't hit the sweet spot and hit a high-quality return, it may be pulled directly away.
