Match Point

The strong wind is hunting, the heat wave is rolling -

Arthur Ashe Stadium was briefly immersed in the thick and hot lava. There was no sound or movement. I held my breath and stared at the mustard yellow light.

In the previous shot, Gasquet was in dire straits, unsheathed his long sword, and made a straight shot with his backhand, shocking everyone with his skills.

On the next shot, Gawain punched hard while running at high speed, soared into the air and hit a forehand, overturning the balance again.

"Offense VS Offense".

"Breaking the situation VS breaking the situation".

The two players are like opponents performing fencing on a high-altitude rope. They are teetering on the edge, but they don't give in. The violently shaking rope affects the audience below who raise their heads high to appreciate this peak showdown. One or two hearts have stopped beating. For fear of missing any detail.

Then.

Gasquet's deficiencies on the defensive end were exposed. He stopped, turned, and started twice, barely pulling his body back. However, his unstable center of gravity caused him to lose the foundation for a strong backhand counterattack. In the end, he failed with a one-handed backhand. He could only passively pull out a strong top spin, and a roar broke out from his Dantian.

—I can’t control my slap face.

Originally, it was more difficult to control the one-handed backhand. Without the support of footsteps and center of gravity, Gawain's flying forehand attack suppressed Gasquet's backhand, so that the entire return parabola was Fully pulled up, swinging across the court to the diagonal.

Well.

After roaring with all his strength, Gasquet grunted, and he could see the mighty black whirlwind across the court across the field.

Gawain's second reaction was very quick. After flying into the air and landing on the ground, he stood on tiptoe slightly. Without waiting for his center of gravity to stand firm, he jumped up again as if a spring was inserted into his knees, pulling his center of gravity to move laterally to the left, seamlessly. Smooth and silky, acceleration immediately increases.

Kick the ground. Run wildly. sprint.

In the blink of an eye, Gawain had already arrived on horseback. He whipped his whip with his forehand without hesitation, fast and hard, and he had already thrown it out with a slash "inside-out".

However…

"Oh, almost."

The moment he took action, Gawain had already realized that with the continuous sudden stops and turns, and the continuous active use of force, everything was in chaos, and the control of his power would inevitably be somewhat deviated. This time, in his quick shot across the entire field, both strength and speed were outstanding. It's just a tad too fast, so that the line control isn't precise enough.

Diagonal lines, angles are not completely torn apart.

But this is tennis, everything is changing rapidly, everything is running at high speed, and deviations and errors are inevitable.

Fortunately, the tennis game has a relatively high error tolerance, which allows players to constantly adjust and rearrange the ball during the round.

Therefore, Gawain didn't have time to consider that the previous shot was slightly deviated from his idea. After braking suddenly, he had already pulled back.

Attention, high concentration.

Sure enough, Gawain saw Gasquet's figure——

Obviously, defense is not Gasquet's strong point. In the last shot, his center of gravity was completely disrupted, so that he lost his defensive position, but Gasquet's subsequent adjustments did not keep up. After regaining his center of gravity, , the defensive awareness of the lateral movement back to the midfield was obviously half a beat slower.

Therefore, when Gawain continued to choose to return the ball diagonally, Gasquet's footsteps were nearby, making mistakes and hitting the ball wrongly.

Gasquet took another step to the left, already pulling up his one-handed backhand.

However, Gasquet's steps were a little heavy. His mind was still directing his steps to move to the right, but his body had already pulled his steps back to the left. The adjustment of his steps was a bit lazy and confusing, and his steps during the defensive moment were not offensive. The timing is so smooth, and the hitting position is also affected.

Backhand, push.

The problem is that in this shot, the force was not able to be combined, and the whole shot seemed a bit sloppy and casual. I simply pushed back to the middle of the shot.

In the collision of strong and strong duels, this

This situation is normal. Both players are consuming oxygen violently, and the quality, continuity and connection of offense and defense will inevitably be affected. The round when the bayonet sees red will enter a buffer zone. The quality of these two shots will be different. so so.

Gao Wen was moving towards the midfield. He immediately realized that the quality of the two players' batting had fluctuated, and he immediately made adjustments.

The forehand was already set up and ready to strike, but at the moment of release, the grip changed -

cutting.

small ball.

It was very sudden and unexpected. The entire Arthur Ashe Stadium was shocked in an instant. There was a roar in the mind and the scalp could not help but feel numb. ah.

Gasquet groaned.

Ahhhh.

Along with the vertical movement, the force of kicking becomes more and more powerful, the speed bursts out, and the roar from deep in the Dantian also emerges.

It's like the growl deep in the throat of a Tibetan Mastiff when it locks onto a stranger.

In an instant, the intensity, status, and nature of the entire confrontation were all reshuffled.

Gao Wen chose Gasquet's forehand area for his small ball, because he knew that Gasquet's backhand was still excellent at handling some delicate techniques, but the forehand processing was relatively monotonous, so he chose the backhand area. The diagonal ball moved Gasquet to the forehand position.

Gasquet stepped forward and observed, and then saw that Gawain's footsteps had also entered the bottom line.

Obviously, Gao Wen thought that Gasquet would choose to fight back with a small ball.

Gasquet quickly observed and judged, and he had to admit -

Indeed, Gawain's ball was sudden and unexpected. Although it was of average quality, it had the upper hand. Therefore, Gasquet had limited room to deal with it.

When Gasquet was waiting for his steps to be in place, the tennis ball had already dropped twice, leaving him with very little room to hit the ball. The probability of choosing to drop a small ball back should be over 90%.

This is called a trap.

Gasquet realized the existence of the trap immediately, so would he step into it even if he knew it?

As a teenager, Gasquet was hailed as a genius, more popular than Nadal. In addition to his cool and sharp backhand shots, another reason is that his touch is very delicate and diverse. When dealing with some technical balls, he often Can bring surprises.

The biggest regret is that Gasquet's ability to withstand pressure is average. When the game enters an anxious state, his mind often goes blank. He is unable to choose the right technique at the right time to complete the correct processing, and his ability cannot be used there. come out.

But now, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Gasquet's confidence has reached a small peak. The speed of brain operation and the level of wakefulness are completely different, and the stadium presented in his field of vision is naturally different.

He saw it.

A weakness that is not a weakness, a gap that is not a gap.

then-

Without hesitation, Gasquet's forehand was pushed out.

Stepping up, cut the gap between the tennis ball and the ground with your forehand, lift it gently, then use the power of your wrist to raise it and push it forward gently.

It's all cleverness.

The tennis ball crossed the net lightly and made a small diagonal line. In fact, it was still in a straight line. It fell into Gawain's left half along his right hand and aimed at the narrow channel next to Gawain's left foot.

Is this... a chasing ball?

no!
