Chapter 84 The Final Round (Part 2) (Please continue reading)
(Chapter 82 is temporarily unavailable. Sorry.)
……

……

“Game, set, Jiang Hong.”

"Jiang Hong 7:5 Donald."

As soon as the referee announced his decision, the previously quiet stadium erupted into a huge roar.

"Wow, was that last shot a magic shot?"

"That little black guy is pretty fierce! Even with the wrong jumping posture, he managed to twist it back!"

"But in the end, Xiao Jiang was still the better one!"

The commentator sitting in the live broadcast room breathed a sigh of relief.

If Jiang Hong loses the first match because of his own bad luck, then their glass will probably be in danger.

You have to understand, sports fans are incredibly enthusiastic at this time!

Unlike later generations, where they might just scold you a few times.

"Thanks to Jiang Hong's outstanding performance, we won the first set. Let's take a break!"

The TV then went into commercial break!

Inside Jiang Hong's small supermarket, his cousin jumped up in surprise.

"My brother won!"

Hehe, I can brag to my classmates later that my brother was on TV.

Let them be envious!
"This is only the first set; you need to win both sets to be considered the winner!"

After all, since her son was going to compete, the mother made a point of finding out more about it.

Although I don't know it very clearly, I do understand fairly well what it means to win.

"what!"

My cousin immediately lowered her head in disappointment.

"We haven't won yet!"

……

At this moment, Jiang Hong was wiping the sweat off his face with a towel.

To be honest, I could never have hit that last shot normally.

But Donald's exaggerated mid-air adjustment shot just now spurred Jiang Hong on.

Sure enough, playing chess with a terrible player will only make you worse.

Only by fighting against skilled opponents can you accumulate more experience.

Even the Big Three, as strong as they are, cannot completely predict the direction and method of their opponent's shot.

Most of the time, it's really just guesswork.

In situations like these, your guesses based on experience will be more accurate.

During the match just now, Jiang Hong roughly summarized some of the opponent's technical characteristics.

His forehand can sometimes produce some exaggerated shots, and his two-handed backhand technique is also very stable.

Oh, and by the way, their incredible physical abilities!

Of course, the opponent's technique is not without flaws; for example, their handling of deep balls is not very good.

In the second game, Jiang Hong planned to focus on exploiting his opponent's weaknesses.

Looking up, I saw Donald talking to his coach.

It looks like it's quite intense.

……

The 120-second break passed in the blink of an eye, and Jiang Hong put the water into the insulated box.

He picked up his racket and returned to the baseline of the court.

He took two tennis balls from the caddie next to him and then put one into his pocket.

clap clap clap...

Gently bouncing the tennis ball, Jiang Hong observed his opponent's positioning.

He doesn't like to drag things out; once he's made up his mind, he immediately grabs the tennis ball!
Toss the ball, push off the ground, swing the racket, and hit the ball!
All in one go!
In an instant, a sound was heard, and the tennis ball had already flown over the net and appeared in the opponent's half of the court!
"So fast!"

Donald's expression changed, and he immediately shifted his position using cross-steps.

I chose the two-handed backhand, which I'm best at!

Turn your body into an arc and exert force with both hands!

"boom!"

The moment the tennis ball hit the racket, Donald strained his arms even harder!

That serve was incredibly powerful.

In an instant, the tennis ball was hit directly to Jiang Hong's left bottom corner, landing very deep.

"Trying to oppress me?"

Jiang Hong was not worried at all. He immediately moved quickly and swung his racket swiftly after the tennis ball landed!
Since they want to keep the game going, Jiang Hong isn't afraid!
Both sides hit long cross-court shots!

Donald's expression gradually darkened, because Jiang Hong's shots were landing deeper and deeper, and if this continued, he would inevitably make a forced mistake sooner or later!

No, we can’t sit still and wait for death!
Donald took two steps to the side, bent his knees slightly, and his body instantly sprang out like a spring.

This time, I didn't choose a backhand, but a forehand!

A diagonal line becomes a straight line.

"boom!"

As a result, the ball was aimed too hard at an angle and flew directly out of bounds, hitting the outside of the field.

15: 0!

Jiang Hong served an outside serve!
This serve was served at a very tricky angle, landing right next to the sideline.

After hitting the ground, the tennis ball, with its inherent spin, traces a beautiful arc as it flies towards the right sideline.

ACE!

30: 0!

"finally come!"

"Xiao Jiang has hit so many aces these past two days, and this is only his third one today!"

"It seems Jiang Hong is in good shape!"

"There's a good chance of ending the game in this set!"

Jiang Hong did not disappoint the audience in the following shots.

The third ball was a straight serve for the winner!

Although Donald had guessed the landing point of the serve, he had not anticipated the spin of the tennis ball.

The ball wasn't fully wrapped around the net when returning it, causing it to fly out of bounds!

The fourth ball, however, was a long, multi-shot rally.

Jiang Hong changed lanes to force the opponent to move around.

However, Donald's backhand and counter-attack were very consistent, without any mistakes, and he was even able to launch counter-attacks occasionally.

Jiang Hong finally won the first game by using a short ball followed by a forehand volley.

Successfully played a Love game!

The audience was excited; judging from the second game, Jiang Hong was in excellent form.

After the two sides exchanged positions.

Donald immediately retaliated.

In the second game, the opponent managed to score only one point for Jiang Hong, thanks to his hook serve and powerful flat shot.

The score kept rising, and in the blink of an eye, they reached the eleventh game.

40: 30!

If Jiang Hong can win this point, just like before, he can be the first to reach the end of the set!

Jiang Hong continued with a flat serve.

Donald, with practiced ease, used his two-handed backhand to hit a cross-court shot, the tennis ball finding its way into Jiang Hong's right corner. However, Jiang Hong didn't continue to rallied diagonally; instead, he suddenly changed the angle of his racket.

The tennis ball flew directly along the sideline towards the opponent's bottom corner.

Donald pushed off with his foot, suddenly exerting force, and quickly reached the right corner.

He swung a forehand in an arc, then pulled out a diagonal line.

The two players kept running back and forth between the two sidelines, positioning themselves, hitting the ball, and changing direction!
The match has been going on for two and a half hours now.

Donald had reached his physical limit and mechanically hit the ball diagonally.

Because of their solid fundamentals, they did not make any unforced errors.

Just then, Jiang Hong suddenly flicked his wrist, and the tennis ball flew lightly towards the net line on the opposite side of the court.

Donald's eyes widened in disbelief; he hadn't expected Jiang Hong to be so uncivilized!
Come and cheat!

Come and launch a sneak attack!
Donald rushed to the net and returned the ball before it bounced a second time.

Jiang Hong, holding the racket in both hands, immediately turned to the side with a backhand.

The ball was hit directly into the corner of the opponent's half of the court.

6: 5!

Jiang Hong once again took the lead in the endgame!

I wonder if I can seize the opportunity like I did last time!
In his service game, Donald first took out a towel and wiped the sweat from his face.

He then took the ball from the caddie and watched Jiang Hong hit the tennis ball.

He kept thinking about tactics in his mind.

"Jiang Hong doesn't have any major weaknesses in his skills. If I want to hold serve, I have to catch him off guard."

After thinking it through, with a crisp sound, the ball landed in front of Jiang Hong's service line in the first zone.

The ball was traveling at a very high speed, possibly reaching around 190 kilometers per hour.

The inner corner of District 1!
When serving, he added sidespin, and although Jiang Hong rushed up quickly, he still missed.

The spectators in the stands stared intently at the field, their hearts pounding with anxiety.

They dared not utter a sound, for fear of affecting the course of the game.

Both sides kept moving around the net, hitting the ball, and changing direction.

The audience was overwhelmed by the sights.

In the blink of an eye, the score reached 40:30!

"Ladies and gentlemen, we've come to the most crucial point. If Donald scores, this game will go to a decisive Game 7. Now we'll see if Jiang Hong can withstand the pressure!"

"So fast!"

Donald's serve was quick, and it quickly found its way into Jiang Hong's second court, near the center line.

Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, Jiang Hong appeared in front of the landing point, swung his racket, and hit the ball directly to the opponent's forehand position.

The ball landed very deep, making Donald very uncomfortable.

After such a long and drawn-out struggle, he had lost his patience!

Dry!
Donald suddenly turned sideways, drew back his racket, and hit a flat forehand shot!
The return shot was of high quality, instantly heading towards Jiang Hong's open right side.

Jiang Hong immediately took small steps, adjusted his position, and suddenly lobbed the ball to the front of the net.

Donald was caught off guard by Jiang Hong's sudden change of tactics.

However, his net play skills are excellent, and his best skill is volleying!
Therefore, there was no panic.

He immediately stepped to the net and hit the ball back.

Jiang Hong relied on his speed to move rapidly around the net, completely blocking the area in front of the net.

Donald's eyes flashed, and he suddenly lobbed the ball high into the air.

Jiang Hong turned and retreated; now was the time.

Suddenly, Jiang Hong reversed his grip and hit the ball back in mid-air.

Guess it right!
Donald immediately used high pressure to hit the ball directly into Jiang Hong's left open space!
"Xiao Jiang has been knocked out of the time travel!" the commentator cried out in despair.

Donald narrowly won his service game and successfully held serve!
Next, the two sides will go to a tiebreaker.

The match has been going on for two and a half hours now, and the audience is already getting drowsy.

After all, a typical sports competition lasts between one and two hours.

They were all tired of watching, but Jiang Hong and his opponent were still running and hitting the ball desperately on the court!
Jiang Hong took a towel from the side and wiped the sweat from his face.

Once the match goes to a tiebreaker, the previous few games become largely meaningless, much like a penalty shootout in football!

In the tiebreaker, Jiang Hong served first!

Jiang Hong took a deep breath, and his usual serve came through at this moment!

Fight!

boom!
The tennis ball seemed to have a built-in cruiser, smashing directly into the outer corner of the opposite side's first court.

"An absolute dead end, Donald was powerless, an ace! In this Game 7, Xiao Jiang got off to a winning start!"

Donald serves the second ball!

Flat serve!
The serve was very fast and successfully entered the service box.

Jiang Hong held the racket with both hands, turned his body, and slammed the racket heavily onto the tennis ball.

In an instant, a beautiful diagonal shot was executed.

It hurtles straight to the opponent's right baseline.

Donald moved quickly to the right baseline, swung his racket with a forehand, and hit a straight shot.

The score kept fluctuating and rising!

1:1、1:2、2:2、3:2……

When it was Donald's turn to serve, a twist finally occurred!
After a long rally contested exchange, Jiang Hong suddenly released a hidden small ball.

Donald's heart tightened. After a long and fierce battle, his physical strength was failing and his speed was declining.

Now, facing the ball, step forward to the net and try to reach out your arm to hit the tennis ball.

However, Jiang Hong had already arrived at the net and connected a high-voltage wire.

"Xiao Jiang has won the point in Donald's service game, bringing the score to 4-2!" the commentator exclaimed excitedly.

Donald knelt on one knee; the save had pushed his already dwindling energy to its limit.

Only after the referee spoke did they return to the baseline and prepare to serve!
Flat serve!

The first shot hit the net, the second shot went out of bounds!

"What?! Donald actually committed a double fault in Game 7! This is definitely good news for Xiao Jiang! The score is now 5-2!"

"Next, it's Xiao Jiang's serve..."

Jiang Hong served two clean and crisp serves.

On the eighth ball, Jiang Hong chose to serve and volley.

Donald served an inside-spin serve, and when the tennis ball hit the sideline, he rushed to save it, but the shot was weak. Jiang Hong immediately followed up with a backhand volley to send the ball to the baseline.

It was just one last shudder, and everyone held their breath.

Jiang Hong stood in front of the baseline of the court without the slightest hesitation.

Toss the ball, push off the ground, swing the racket, and hit the ball!

Jiang Hong's body was like a fully drawn bowstring that was suddenly released.

His arm lashed out like a whip, and the racket struck the tennis ball!
A perfect serve, without the slightest deviation!
The tennis ball went straight into the angle formed by the service line and the sideline.

Donald stared blankly at the ball, his mind completely blank.

I lost?
Losing to someone your own age?

"Ace!"

In the end, Jiang Hong relied on her two serves to end the match and prevent it from going to a third set!

7:5，7:6（2），姜鸿最终以2:0的比分，拿到了这场持续两个小时的比赛。

　A friend reminded me before that there was a problem with the pacing of the book's release. To be honest, the book's performance has exceeded my expectations. Readers who like the book will naturally subscribe, and it's probably useless for those who don't like it to have chapters stuck. I used to hate chapters stuck when I read books, so I'll wrap up this competition and let the release happen naturally. Finally, I'm asking for data and monthly votes.

　　Chapter 82 has been censored. I'll ask the editor about it tomorrow morning.
