Chapter 140 Underestimating the Opponent
Hearing this, Mo Yinchuan's thick sword-like eyebrows slightly raised. Under the ink-like eyebrows were a pair of deep and bright eyes, which were flashing with wisdom at this moment. His eyebrows were like carefully carved works of art, with smooth and natural lines, and the slightly upward arc added a sense of heroism and confidence.
Bai Youming and Zuo Songchu secretly discussed the group arrangements. If Jiang Tiantian's skills were as weak as her appearance and temperament, they calculated that Mo Yinchuan's group could only end up with a best-of-three result.
With this grouping format, it is undoubtedly Mo Yinchuan against Bai Youming, and Wu Jishan has no chance of winning whether he fights against Zuo Songchu or Gu Eryun, because Wu Jishan has never won before.
As for Jiang Tiantian, anyone who fights with her must be careful not to hurt her. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that even if Jiang Tiantian loses a hair during the confrontation, given Mo Yinchuan's fierce protectiveness towards his wife, he would probably skin that person alive.
"Is it okay?" Mo Yinchuan tilted his head and looked at Jiang Tiantian, asking softly.
Mo Yinchuan looked at Jiang Tiantian with deep affection in his eyes, as if she was the only one in the whole world. Mo Yinchuan's eyes were deep and bright, like the brightest stars in the night sky, flashing a gentle light.
"Let's try it?" Jiang Tianju responded with a gentle smile. Her starry eyes twinkled and Mo Yinchuan liked her more and more. Jiang Tiantian never liked to brag. She never made big promises about anything. Everything was based on the final results.
"Are you scared?" Mo Yinchuan turned and looked at Wu Jishan with a smile.
Wu Jishan is also under pressure to be in the same group with Mo Yinchuan and Jiang Tiantian. If he doesn't give his best and makes Mo Yinchuan lose...
That was Mo Yinchuan who had never been defeated. Wu Jishan seemed to have already seen the fact that he would be lagging behind Mo Yinchuan. It didn't matter that Jiang Tiantian couldn't win. She was a girl and her innate physical strength shouldn't be compared with men.
Wu Jishan seemed to see dark clouds gathering above his head.
"Afraid..." Wu Jishan didn't dare to avoid it. Who wouldn't be afraid of such a thing?
Upon hearing this, Mo Yinchuan and Jiang Tiantian looked at each other and smiled without saying anything. They began to warm up. Wu Jishan and Gu Eryun started the first game, and the two had already finished their warm-up exercises.
Sure enough, Wu Jishan's first ball was scored by Gu Leyun within a few rounds, and there was no way to save the situation. After Mo Yinchuan and Jiang Tiantian finished warming up, they went to the rest area and sat in the shaded area with Bai Youming and Zuo Songchu to chat and watch the game.
Not long after Jiang Tiantian sat down, she naturally chatted with Bai Youming about several recent heart surgery cases in the hospital. Jiang Tiantian and Bai Youming are both top surgeons in the industry, and the atmosphere of their conversation was full of professionalism and depth.
Both spoke in very calm tones, but their eyes revealed their love for medicine and concern for patients. Their communication was also concise and clear, with each term being like a precise operation on the operating table, without any ambiguity. They shared their experiences and insights, and occasionally exchanged their skills with each other.
During this process, the two people's minds constantly collided, generating more inspiration and ideas. They were not just discussing cases, but also exploring the boundaries of medicine, pursuing higher skills and better treatment results.
The entire chat process was like a duel between masters. It seemed calm, but in fact it was turbulent. Every sentence contained rich knowledge and experience, which made people admire it.
Mo Yinzhongchuan and Zuo Songchu, like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years, naturally started chatting about business. They talked about the current market trends, the future development direction of the industry, the innovation of business models, the experience of corporate management, and the geography, international finance... They also seemed to have endless things to say.
There is a detail worth mentioning that during the entire waiting process in the waiting area, Mo Yinchuan always held Jiang Tiantian's hand tightly and never let go for a moment. Mo Yinchuan's fingers were slender and strong, gently wrapping Jiang Tiantian's slender and soft little hand, as if conveying an endless warmth and peace of mind to her.
Jiang Tiantian sat next to Mo Yinchuan with a happy smile on her face. She let Mo Yinchuan hold her hand and chat calmly and naturally with Bai Youming about topics related to doctors, as if she was used to Mo Yinchuan's sticky little actions towards Jiang Tiantian in front of his friends.
The small detail of Mo Yinchuan silently holding Jiang Tiantian's hand did not escape the sharp eyes of Bai Youming and Zuo Songchu. Bai Youming had seen Mo Yinchuan's dependence on Jiang Tiantian so many times in recent days that he was no longer surprised. Zuo Songchu had not had the chance to show up at Mo's residence recently, so this was the first time he saw with his own eyes Mo Yinchuan's care for Jiang Tiantian in the details.
When Zuo Songchu saw the details of Mo Yinchuan silently holding Jiang Tiantian's hand, he couldn't help but feel shocked. He widened his eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.
Mo Yinchuan had never thought that Mo Yinchuan, who had always been cold-tempered and strong-hearted, would be so dependent on and caring for a woman. This kind of care for details made Zuo Songchu have a deeper understanding of some of the words Bai Youming said to him.
Zuo Songchu couldn't help but think of his past with Mo Yinchuan. They had always been brothers like brothers, occasionally becoming competitors in certain projects. They knew each other's strength and means very well. However, at this moment, Mo Yinchuan showed a completely different side that made Zuo Songchu feel unfamiliar.
Is this still the Mo Yinchuan he has known for more than 30 years?
Wu Jishan was no match for Gu Eryun, and the result was no surprise, with a large scoreline behind. Wu Jishan looked dejected, holding his racket and walking towards him dejectedly, while the winner Gu Eryun walked towards him with a rosy face and high spirits.
"Hahaha!" Gu Eryun laughed heartily, as if the entire stadium was drowned by his laughter. His eyes were full of confidence and pride, as if this victory had made him the focus of the field.
"Who's next game?" Gu Eryun asked happily, his voice revealing anticipation and excitement. He was obviously very interested in the next game and couldn't wait to see what was to come.
"How about Mr. Mo's finale?" Jiang Tiantian smiled playfully, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a row of neat and white teeth. Her eyes were shining with a lively light, as bright as the stars in the night sky. That smile was like a flower blooming in spring, exuding a charming fragrance, making people feel endless youthful vitality.
"No problem. I look forward to Mrs. Mo's debut." The corners of Mo Yinchuan's mouth slightly raised, revealing a rare smile, and with this smile, he looked even more radiant.
However, what surprised everyone present was that Mo Yinchuan actually smiled and showed eight big white teeth. You know, they have known Mo Yinchuan for more than 30 years, and this is almost the first time they have seen such a smile. Everyone was stunned by Mo Yinchuan's smile, as if time had frozen at this moment.
Except for Jiang Tiantian, everyone opened their mouths and looked at Mo Yinchuan in disbelief. Some people even had their eyes wide open, as if they had seen something incredible. Only then did they realize that Mo Yinchuan's facial muscles had the function of laughing?
Mo Yinchuan's smile was like the warm sun in winter, instantly melting the coldness around him, revealing a kind of confidence and satisfaction, and his natural sense of alienation instantly decreased a lot.
"Sister-in-law, let me practice with you in this game! We can also take this opportunity to practice and learn from each other's skills. But, sister-in-law, you must go easy on me!" Zuo Songchu stood up with a smile on his face, first nodded slightly to Jiang Tiantian, then turned around and nodded to Mo Yinchuan, indicating that Mo Yinchuan should take Jiang Tiantian away for a while, as the court was ready.
Zuo Songchu's tone was very humble and polite, which made people feel particularly comfortable listening to it.
"Mr. Zuo, you are too modest. However, I see that Mr. Wu just lost a game. I may not be his opponent. But please give your all. Let's both try to play to our true level. How about that?" Jiang Tiantian smiled softly.
Although Jiang Tiantian doesn't like social activities, she has a deep understanding of social language. After all, she is the only female player in today's competition, and Mo Yinchuan takes good care of her, as if he regards her as the apple of his eye.
Jiang Tiantian knew it clearly, and everyone could see it. She reminded him this time just because she hoped Zuo Gongchu could put aside other distractions, devote himself to the competition, and show his true strength.
Jiang Tiantian is full of confidence in her skills and physical fitness. Although the competition between women and men may be very strenuous and the outcome is unpredictable, in the spirit of sports, one way to respect the opponent is to go all out and perform at her truest level. She firmly believes that no matter what the result is, as long as she has tried her best, she will be worthy of the game and her opponent.
"Okay, of course, of course. Don't worry, sister-in-law." Zuo Songchu responded with sincerity in his tone and expression.
After Jiang Tiantian and Zuo Songchu high-fived everyone, they strolled to their own court.
Jiang Tiantian's height is outstanding among women. Her height of 173cm is very good. However, Zuo Songchu is not bad either. He is 188cm tall. There is a 15cm difference in height between the two. Coupled with the innate advantages of muscles and physical fitness, Zuo Songchu has never thought about the possibility of losing. Just now when Jiang Tiantian asked him to go all out, Zuo Songchu sincerely expressed that he definitely would.
However, Zuo Songchu actually thought in his heart: "How dare I go all out? If I get hurt by the ball, Brother Chuan will kill me."
Jiang Tiantian served first. She bent down slightly, held the racket in her right hand, gently tossed the ball up with her left hand, and then quickly swung the racket to hit the ball. The ball flew towards Zuo Songchu like a flash of lightning.
Zuo Songchu originally intended to let Jiang Tiantian hit a few balls first. After all, he thought that girls might not be very good at playing basketball. However, when Jiang Tiantian's ball came towards him at an extremely tricky angle, Zuo Songchu suddenly found it extremely difficult for him to catch the ball.
It was not until this moment that Zuo Songchu truly realized that Jiang Tiantian's words to him to go all out were not just talk. In fact, Jiang Tiantian did have quite strong strength, and he needed to do his best to deal with such a strong opponent.
After Jiang Tiantian served the first ball, Zuo Songchu was perhaps not mentally prepared and did not expect Jiang Tiantian to be so strong. When he realized that he could not catch Jiang Tiantian's serve, he could not help but feel panic. Many tiny beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, and his hands unconsciously clenched the racket.
When it was Zuo Songchu's turn to serve, he stood on the court with full confidence, thinking to himself: "My serving technique has been honed over a long period of time, and today I must give my opponent a warning!" So, he tossed the ball up at a normal level and served it hard as usual.
However, what surprised Zuo Songchu was that when he saw Jiang Tiantian's moves, he realized that he might have underestimated his opponent's strength.
The moment Zuo Songchu threw the ball up, Jiang Tiantian was able to accurately judge where the ball would land and quickly prepare for the response.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Tiantian demonstrated her excellent skills and reaction ability. She swung her racket backhand easily and hit the ball back to Zuo Songchu seemingly effortlessly. The speed of the ball and the tricky angle caught Zuo Songchu off guard again.
Zuo Songchu's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what was happening. He originally thought that his serve would cause some trouble for Jiang Tiantian, but he didn't expect that the opponent would break his attack so easily. At this moment, Zuo Songchu really had to start to seriously re-examine Jiang Tiantian's strength, and a strong desire for competition surged in his heart.
It was Jiang Tiantian's turn to serve again. She threw the ball high with her left hand, held the racket in her right hand, tilted her body slightly, and stared at the ball. At the moment the ball fell, she swung her arm back quickly, exerted force from her waist, leaned forward, and hit the racket forward at an extremely fast speed.
The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air at an extremely fast speed and with a strong rotation, flying towards the opponent's court. Jiang Tiantian's movements were done in one go, smoothly and naturally, like a dancer dancing on the stage, which made people marvel.
This time, Zuo Songchu was fully prepared mentally for Jiang Tiantian's ball, but even so, he still failed to successfully catch Jiang Tiantian's second ball.
The angle of Jiang Tiantian's serve was extremely tricky, and the speed of the ball was as fast as lightning. This not only made Zuo Songchu, who truly felt the power of Jiang Tiantian's serve, dumbfounded, but also everyone present, including Mo Yinchuan, were all stunned.
They seemed to see a flaming meteor streaking across the sky, carrying with it endless power and force that was irresistible.
Mo Yinchuan knew very well that Jiang Tiantian's tennis skills were quite impressive, but he never expected that they were so amazing.
As for the others, there is no need to mention them, especially the group that Bai Youming was in. They originally thought that the duel between Zuo Songchu and Jiang Tiantian would be the easiest contest today.
However, judging from the current situation, the intensity of this match is probably no less than the upcoming match between Bai Youming and Mo Yinchuan.
