call……
Gawain let out a long breath and forced himself to calm down. His eyes were reluctantly aimed at the landing point, and he gestured with his backhand swing again, looking for a more correct hitting rhythm and power. Then, the racket supported the ground, Put your feet together and stand up again.
calm.
Anyway, missing this point is just a return to an even tie. Then just work hard again and get a break point.
However, this is not easy, because facing an opponent like Saramento, opportunities do not appear so easily. Every time a break point is missed, a heavy price may be paid. Thinking that I missed two break points, Emotions couldn't help but surge up.
"Come on, you can do it, you can do it. You should be the impactor and challenger. You should lower your posture, take off your baggage and challenge."
Gao Wen clenched his fists heavily and encouraged himself. Anyway, Saramento is a top ten player in the United States and the Trojans' No. 1 singles player, and he is the attacker who plays the role of a surprise player. No matter what the result is, he will go all out. Just play to the highest level you currently have.
Clench your fists, clench them again, and your mind finally calms down.
Turn around and return to the first zone, ready to receive the serve.
Saramento was already standing behind the baseline, waiting for Gawain to be ready, his resolute eyes shining in the sun, like an unsheathed sword.
In fact, Saramento is also very aggrieved.
Facing the opponent's little-known sixth singles, even if he swept the victory with two "6:0" scores, in his father's opinion, there was nothing worth showing off, it was just a natural result; but now the two sides are in a stalemate. The situation and the game were not at all what I expected.
Saramento was holding back his anger and was very dissatisfied with his performance, very, very dissatisfied.
He needs to further improve his condition and performance. Now is the critical moment.
Whoosh.
Whoosh.
The sound of breathing was rising and falling like a bellows, and Saramento's eyes were observing Gawain's position——
Standard right-handed two-handed backhand player stance.
When in the first zone, the stance is slightly closer to the inner corner, because it is difficult to stretch the body for a two-handed backhand, the coverage is narrow, and the steps need to be taken care of.
So, how should he choose his serve?
Saramento looked at Gawain who was gently swaying his body to maintain the rhythm of the movement. He had already made a decision in his mind, and he bent his knees, kicked off the ground, and threw the ball in one go.
The tennis ball was thrown high, wrapped in a golden halo, spinning lightly, and then gravity pulled it down again quickly.
Swing the arm, hit the ball.
Saramento made a hidden outward movement with his wrist, which increased the friction between the racket and the tennis ball at the moment the ball was released, exploding a cloud of halo dust in the air, just like an angry bird completing its charge, the tennis ball He flew diagonally across the court with a higher and faster spin.
The serve speed is 168 kilometers per hour.
The speedometer in the corner of the court immediately showed the speed of the ball at the moment after the racket collided with the tennis ball. Among men's serves with an average speed of more than 180 kilometers per hour, this serve speed seems weak and weak, basically the same as that of female players. The serve speed is at the same level.
This is obviously a shot, but the speed is so low, what's going on?
but!
Although the speed is very low, the rotation and landing point of the tennis ball are very thin and shallow. It will cross the height of the net and land in the inverted triangle area on the upper right side of the service area. It will then pull out a strong external spin and land on the ground. Bounces high toward the outside of the doubles line, tearing up a big outside corner.
Saramento gave up part of his speed in order to pursue the extremely thin outside corner and use landing point and spin to create a threat. At the critical moment, Saramento also made a bold and risky choice, taking the lead in Look for changes in the serving session to disrupt Gao Wen's predictable rhythm.
Tread.
Gao Wen jumped lightly on the spot twice. He immediately noticed the subtle changes in the face of Saramento's racket and reacted reflexively.
Kick!
Stand firm with your left leg and push hard, and your whole body will fly out laterally to the right. But even so, because you are standing close to the inner corner, you can still clearly feel the gap created by the entire time and space when chasing the outer corner. Push your feet hard on the ground and sprint at full speed while crossing your feet continuously.
Whoops!
The strong wind was blowing, as if all the gold in the world was flowing together, but his eyes were still firmly fixed on the rotation and trajectory of the tennis ball.
Too high!
Too far!
Saramento fully avoided the disadvantage of his height and used his skills and characteristics to hide his serve. The large outside angle was cut very thin, which also made the refraction angle of the tennis ball very large, and the angle between it and the baseline has almost reached 65 degrees. above; and, after landing early, it bounced high again, and the hitting point was almost beyond the shoulder line.
The only flaw is that it sacrifices speed.
Kick, kick, kick.
Kick, kick, kick!
Gawain moved sideways at full speed, and in the blink of an eye he had left the singles area, and then left the doubles area. The spectators in the stands near this side could hardly see Gawain, and they could only catch a ray of light disappearing into the shadow of the stands. In the area, Saramento was the only one left on the court.
He.
The audience let out low exclamations, but there was still no noise, because the audience in the stands opposite could still see Gawain running at full strength. The high concentration of attention caused the noise inside the stadium to surge slightly and then returned to calm. , holding his breath involuntarily.
Whizzing!
The wind howls!
Gawain's eyes were firmly fixed on the high-speed rotating tennis ball, but his steps were still lacking, mainly because the outer corners were torn extremely large. Even if the speed was slower, Gawain's positional disadvantage was completely magnified.
But it was too late at this time, and there was no time to continue moving laterally, because if it were any slower, the rebound height of the tennis ball would have exceeded his head. By then, there would be no way to complete the normal shot. He would have to grab a shot in advance, and the cost would be It means that the body must be thrown directly out.
So, kick the ground! Stretch! Fly!
His whole body was completely stretched out like a goshawk, his legs pushed hard to make his body jump into the air, and he stayed in the air for a short time. He waved the racket with his right hand and smashed it down high, making full use of his height and arm length to seize the opportunity to continue rising before the tennis ball. Before, I used a movement similar to a slam dunk to directly hit the ball from top to bottom.
At the same time, from the corner of his eye, he glanced at where Salamento was standing on the other side of the court——
He has returned to his position early and returned to the center of the court. No matter what angle Gao Wen hits, he can start the defense immediately. He is indeed a defensive player.
Gawain's mind remained pure, without random thoughts or vacillations. He withdrew his gaze and still stared at the racket and tennis ball intently. The more critical the moment, the more focused he became, and the more dangerous the moment, the more devoted he became. All his energy was concentrated. Focus on tennis.
Eyes burning.
