Who would still play tennis after being reborn?

Chapter 68 The Stadium Fraudster (Second Update)
"Ahem, brothers!"

While adjusting the microphone, Zhu Wen said, "The match results for today have been sent to the group. Brothers who need them can find them in the group files. Now let's focus on the matches this morning. Gu Shen's opponent in the second round is another domestic player, Lin Bin."

"People probably know more about Lin Bin's situation; he previously participated in several professional competitions in China..."

Halfway through his sentence, Zhu Wen, who had just noticed Gu Cheng had already served, suddenly jumped up: "It's an outside spin serve!!"

"ooh!"

"Beautiful! Lin Bin actually received that topspin serve!"

"It seems that after yesterday's match, Lin Bin went back and studied the topspin serve! He even found a way to return the topspin serve."

But the next moment, Zhu Wen's face was full of regret.

"It's a pity. We received the serve, but we couldn't return it. It seems that the situation is not as we expected. Gu Shen's topspin serve is not so easy to return."

The fans in Zhu Wen's live broadcast room are mostly young people, mostly in their early twenties, some even younger. Few tennis enthusiasts in this age group haven't watched the anime "The Prince of Tennis," and there are even some experts among them.

"The same goes for topspin serves, right? Can the topspin serve that Echizen started playing at the beginning be the same as the topspin serve he played in the National Tournament? This same statement applies to Gu Shen as well."

"I don't know if you noticed, but Gu Shen doesn't seem to be wearing a weighted wristband today."

"It seems that Gu Shen had also thought of this point, knowing that someone would study the topspin serve after the match, so he made preparations in advance and did not wear a weighted wristband. As a result, the power of the topspin serve was naturally much greater. Lin Bin received the ball, but the strong spin of the tennis ball was still difficult to neutralize."

These words quickly gained everyone's approval.

The game continues.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Lin Bin regained his composure.

He received the second ball again, but just like before, Gu Cheng's outside spin serve was too strong, so even after receiving the ball, he still couldn't return it.

30-0!

40-0!

The first game ended quickly.

It was Lin Bin's serve time.

Knowing that Gu Cheng had the "Swallow Return" skill as a scoring weapon, Lin Bin chose to serve flat and try not to hit topspin balls. However, he did not watch the second game between Gu Cheng and Hassan. Even though he restricted Gu Cheng's use of the "Swallow Return," he was still tricked by Gu Cheng's easy swing on the fourth ball, and the tennis ball was hit to the other side of his running direction.

15-0.

"continue!"

Lin Bin gritted his teeth and served the second ball. He didn't believe that Gu Cheng could still exert strong pressure even with Yan Hui Shan blocked. However, the swinging and deceptive move just now made him feel a chill.

Being able to decide where to hit the ball only after observing the opponent's movement requires a certain level of skill; at least for now, he cannot do that.

It's not that I can't do it, it's just that I'm not that familiar with it.

Or rather, it is used very rarely.

This type of shot, while easy to score against the opponent, can also easily result in a 10-point loss. If you hesitate even slightly, it becomes difficult to find a suitable hitting point, and in the end, you may not only fail to score but also lose points.

That's why players who dare to do this are not only bold and meticulous, but also have a strong confidence in their own abilities.

boom!
The tennis ball was hit into the second court near the sideline by Lin Bin's quick backswing.

Gu Cheng quickly caught up, his gaze sweeping over Lin Bin's position, and suddenly swung his racket towards the first section of the court where Lin Bin was.

"Right side!" Judging that Gu Cheng was going to hit the ball to the right, Lin Bin tossed it towards the second court without hesitation, while also moving closer to the net.

His baseline game technique is not as good as Gu Cheng's. If he is constantly pressured to the baseline, he will lose points sooner or later. And it won't just be a simple matter of losing points. The most important thing is that if he wants to get points off Gu Cheng, he has to go to the net and use fast counterattacks at the net to disrupt Gu Cheng's rhythm and get into his own rhythm.

However, the same thing happened again; the moment Gu Cheng swung his racket, the direction of his force changed.

The tennis ball flew straight in the opposite direction from where Lin Bin was running.

--call out!!
The ball swept across the halfway line, kicking up a cloud of dust at the baseline, and then surged out of bounds with unstoppable momentum.

Gu Cheng, 30-0.

"Another deceptive feint?!"

"Two goals in a row."

"It's exactly the same situation as Hassan's second set yesterday!!"

"A complete replay of yesterday's Hassan tragedy!"

Some people exclaimed in surprise, as if they could see the scene of Hassan, the contestant from Africa, being tricked by the same trick again.

"It's still not enough. Even though Gu Cheng's Swallow Return Flash was blocked, and he didn't even have a chance to use the Revolving Serpent Dart, he's still much stronger than Lin Bin in terms of basic skills."

"If this continues, the final result will probably be no different from yesterday."

"Indeed, if we want to get points from Gu Cheng, we need to not only disable Yan Huishuan, but also not be fooled by his feints."

"He's practically a fraudster on the field, and the best part is he always succeeds."

Not to mention others, even Lin Bin was stunned when he saw this ball.

The first goal could be attributed to luck, but the second goal is a far cry from that.

What exactly did I miss?

"Is he really that strong?"

Lin Bin stared blankly at Gu Cheng, then couldn't help but glance at Qi Yun, only to find that Qi Yun was also looking at him with a bitter smile on his face.

Lin Bin was stunned. Could it be?
He remembered Qi Yun telling him yesterday not to forget to watch the second set as well. At the time, he didn't watch it because he didn't care whether he watched it or not. Instead, he casually found several scenes of his opponents breaking Echizen's topspin serve and studied them carefully.

In retrospect, Qi Yun's decision to show him the second game was deliberate.

Gu Cheng's strength lies not only in his skills inspired by anime, but also in his exceptional fundamental abilities, which are the key factors that enabled him to shut out Hassan in the first round.

The first set ended quickly amidst Lin Bin's frustration. During the break, Lin Bin came to the sidelines and said, "Coach, you should have at least explained things to me in detail. You made me excited all night. I thought that if I could hold my serve, I wouldn't lose. Now I realize that I was just a complete clown."

Qi Yun rolled her eyes at him: "I told you to look, but you wouldn't. Now you're blaming me?"

Lin Bin shrugged: "I just thought the second game would be the same as the first."

"That's what you think."

Qi Yun said irritably, "But even if I reminded you, what good would it do you if you read it? You'll just learn your lesson."

Lin Bin looked depressed.

After Qi Yun finished speaking, he looked at Gu Cheng, who was juggling the ball with the racket frame, and said something that Lin Bin also agreed with: "He's like a con artist on the court. To be honest, I'm suddenly looking forward to him stepping onto the professional stage. Maybe that will be a whole different world."
