Tennis King Basel is the unquestionable ruler of the tennis world today. As early as his youth, Basel won almost all youth championships. When he was seventeen years old, he became a professional tennis player. Then he spent six years to top the world first. In the following seven or eight years, he had never been driven out of the world first except during his injury. More than a dozen Grand Slam champions and nearly a hundred world champions are enough to demonstrate Basel's dominance in the tennis world.

Li Dai can guess such a player without detecting it. He is definitely a talent at the S level and has a personal ability value of 95 or above, otherwise he would not be able to dominate the entire tennis world.

Chen Zhen's first round opponent was Basel. For Chen Zhen, this was an opponent he would never defeat in his life. Chen Zhen's first trip to the Grand Slam main competition had already achieved results after this matchup appeared, and he had no chance of advancing to the second round.

Chen Zhen became Basel's first opponent, and it must be the organizer deliberately. Chen Zhen's world ranking has just entered 2, and he is the lowest among the players who advanced to the qualifying round. If calculated based on the world ranking, Chen Zhen is the weakest player.

Basel is the world's number one seed, the top seed and tennis superstar. According to previous practice, the top seed will inevitably be given additional care. The organizer of the tournament cannot let Basel be eliminated in the first round, so he simply arranges a weaker opponent for him. In this way, even if Basel is in a bad state, he can win. Moreover, if Basel wins more easily, he can retain more physical strength and bring more exciting games in subsequent games, which is also helpful for the ratings of the game.

So Chen Zhen, the weakest cannon fodder, became Basel's opponent in the first game.

...

Chen Zhen never thought that he could stand on the Central Stadium of the US Open. He even felt that this was the only time in his career that he could play at the Central Stadium of the US Open.

Chen Zhen never thought that he could compete with the tennis king Basel. He said it was a "competing with the top", but Chen Zhen felt that he was too proud of himself. With Chen Zhen's strength, he was not qualified to compete with Basel. When facing Basel, he was at best just a cannon fodder, and perhaps even a slight threat could not be created.

"Basel is in front of me!" Chen Zhen stood on the court, feeling confused in his mind, and he was still savoring the scene of shaking hands with Basel just now. Basel is also Chen Zhen's idol.

With Chen Zhen's level and strength, he naturally is not qualified to play at the Central Stadium. He is completely benefiting from Basel. Basel is the number one seed and the world's number one person in tennis. His game is either at the Central Stadium or at the No. 1 Stadium. Even if it is arranged on the No. 2 Stadium with very good hardware facilities, it is an insult to Basel.

Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity to play against Basel, Chen Zhen can also play a game at the Central Stadium of the US Open.

Basel did not understand his first opponent, and he did not need to understand. The gap between Chen Zhen and him was too big. Basel had no need to waste his energy on Chen Zhen. Therefore, before the game, he did not even watch Chen Zhen's game video, and even did not understand Chen Zhen's technical characteristics.

On the day of the competition, Basel saw this young athlete from China for the first time and the expression of admiration on the court. Basel has seen too many such expressions. In every Grand Slam competition, in the first few rounds, he always saw this expression on his opponent's face. Sometimes even the seed player is his fan.

"This young man I have never seen before is not easy to advance to the US Open. It seems that he is also a fan of me. I will relax a little later and don't act too harshly, so as not to hurt his confidence." Basel thought to himself. At this time, he seemed extremely relaxed. Standing on the central stadium was like coming to the training ground.

Although this is just an irrelevant first round, Basel appeared as a Central Stadium game, so this game was also valued by the TV broadcaster. After the players of both sides appeared, the commentator also began to introduce it, of course, mainly talking about Basel. As for Chen Zhen's situation, he basically said a few words, and no one would care about a cannon fodder.

"Basel's opponent is just a young player who has just entered the second place in the world, and he advanced to the US Open through the qualifying round. Among the 16 players who advanced to the qualifying round, he is also the lowest in the world, so the result of this game is no suspense." The commentator said.

Another commentator immediately responded: "That's right, the ending of this game is destined and it must be a 3-game. So this game is mainly to let us see how Basel is in recent form. But I am very worried that such a weak opponent cannot force Basel's true strength at all, and the game will be over."

"This game is inevitable that it will end faster. I think Basel will end the battle within half an hour. Perhaps for Basel, this game is just a small warm-up."

...

In the audience, Chen Jianguo seemed very nervous.

In tennis, the coach is not allowed to go on the court to guide athletes. During the game, the athletes are all adjusting themselves, so Chen Jianguo could only sit in the audience and look at his son anxiously.

"Old Chen, don't be nervous. Being able to fight Basel is also a reward for Chen Zhen. This kind of experience may be difficult for other professional tennis players to encounter in their lifetime." Li Dai said.

"I know, I know, I know..." Chen Jianguo said "I know" three times, and from this we can see the uneasiness and tension in Chen Jian's heart in his country.

Li Daize continued: "To put it another way, Chen Zhen has gained a lot of exposure today. This game is broadcast live to the world. At least through this game, many people will know that there is a tennis player like Chen Zhen."

"What I said is that there is exposure, this is a good thing." Chen Jianguo responded casually, but the tone of his answer was still a little absent-minded.

Perhaps for Chen Jianguo, Chen Zhen was able to enter the US Open and play a game with Basel, which was not just a game, but had become a special ceremony, a grand ceremony that made him feel overwhelmed.

Li Dai ignored Chen Jianguo. The result of this game was destined. Chen Zhen could not be Basel's opponent no matter what. What Li Dai hopes now is that Chen Zhen can perform slightly better, and even if he loses the game, he must show his own style.

Suddenly, Li Dai thought of something.

"By the way, the last time I upgraded the reward, there was a title of "even-strike". I haven't used it yet. This title can only be used in confrontational sports. The track and field competitions in the past were not considered confrontational sports, so I have never had the opportunity to use it. Now tennis is in the category of confrontational sports. I might try the effect of this title of "even-strike".

Thinking of this, Li Dai looked at the two players on the court and smiled slightly. This was a game between the king and cannon fodder. The gap between the strength of the two sides was too big, and it was just right to test the effect of "even-match".

The next second, Li Dai was equipped with the title of "even-match".
