The gorgeous golden sunlight falls down, dancing lightly on the surface of the skin, slightly hot.
Gawain clapped his hands with both hands, bent his knees, leaned forward, and looked intently at the other side of the court. His mind was clear and his concentration was highly concentrated.
Indeed, Saramento is particularly difficult to deal with. The figure covering the entire field cannot be defeated no matter how hard it is hit. The tight stalemate creates a sense of frustration——
All his attacks were ineffective, as if he could not form a winning score from any angle or position.
However, Saramento is not without solutions.
It’s not that Saramento’s defensive ability is not top-notch – after all, Gao Wen’s strength is far from top-notch, but that Saramento’s tennis wisdom is relatively rigid, mainly reflected in the tactical combination of hitting and return routes. There is nothing eye-catching and lacks spirituality.
For example, when passively saving the ball, most forehand shots are diagonal, and most backhand shots are returned to the center.
For example, when taking the initiative to exert force, most forehand shots are in the neutral position, and most backhand shots are diagonal.
Of course, "most" doesn't mean all, and occasionally the hitting line will be changed, but overall, Saramento's return line is relatively conservative.
The purpose of every touch of the ball and every return is to ensure that the tennis ball can enter the bounds and form an effective return. In other words, safety is the first priority, not scoring.
This is also completely in line with Salamento's playing style. A "grinding" tactic is enough to make young players who lack patience collapse. Facing young players who focus on offense, they can gain more advantages and force players who can't attack for a long time. Collapse directly. Willpower and physical strength are the real keys to Salamento defeating their opponents.
So, what's the right answer to beat Saramento?
Perhaps, many people would say patience.
Stay patient and continue to deal with the situation, give up the idea of a fatal blow, gradually tear apart Saramento's defense, and wait for opportunities.
Gawain has done the same thing since the beginning.
But gradually, Gao Wen realized that he still lacked practical experience in the game after all. He was just dealing with patience, which meant entering the game rhythm of Saramento. What he was least afraid of was "grinding", going back and forth. The round ball perfectly suits Saramento's habits.
In other words, whether scoring or losing points, long rounds are the rhythm of the game for Saramento. He is completely able to control the situation unhurriedly and wear down his opponents bit by bit.
Although it is said that Gao Wen is not an eighteen-year-old boy in his skin, he is not so easily irritated and does not break down so easily, but it is not that easy to defeat Salamento with the game rhythm of Salamento, so, The game fell into a tug-of-war, and the two sides never distanced themselves.
Fortunately, Gao Wen's brain is always observing and thinking. He has been thinking about ways to break Salamento's rhythm, especially when his strength and offense do not have an absolute advantage, how should he break the balance?
As the game progresses, the answer slowly emerges——
Line combination.
Saramento's return line is often conservative and safe, so Gao Wen's hitting line needs to break the inertia, even if it requires paying the price of some mistakes.
Gurgling.
The air is boiling; but everything in the stadium that is packed with seats is completely silent.
All the spectators held their breath, fearing that any slight disturbance might affect the concentration of the two players. This is a result that fans on both sides do not want to see.
Then, Saramento served.
"oh!"
As soon as the shot hit the net, Trojans fans let out a sigh of disappointment.
"The high-quality first serve just now was directly grabbed by Gao Wen to the rising point and completed an ACE. Obviously, Saramento's psychology also fluctuated. This time, he wanted to press the first serve harder and use speed and strength. Created a threat but pressed too hard and didn’t get through the net.”
Sofal quickly explained the situation, and then fell silent again, paying attention to Saramento's second serve with the audience.
boom!
At the critical moment, facing the second serve, Saramento also gritted his teeth and became fierce. He fought for a second serve with the first serve, risking a double fault, but this time, he succeeded.
Tennis does not seek a wide angle from the outside or inside corner, but directly presses towards the center of the chasing position. The tactical intention cannot be clearer:
Saramento did not want to score directly with the serve, but squeezed Gao Wen's return serve space, and then returned to the tug-of-war that it is most familiar with.
Sure enough, playing style doesn't lie, especially for young people.
Chi!
Gao Wen's prediction was still a little slow. He didn't expect that Saramento would fight for the second serve with the first serve, and the speed of the ball exceeded his imagination. He stepped out of the way half a beat slower, and finally used his backhand reluctantly. He blocked some and hurriedly pushed the tennis ball back to the opposite court.
The parabola of the tennis ball is a little high, and the depth control is not satisfactory. It seems to be a good opportunity to attack from the start.
Fortunately, Saramento's offense was soft.
Snapped!
Saramento took a step forward and hit the ball with full force with his forehand. He raised his hand and hit a flat ball, aiming at Gao Wen's forehand gap - he was still used to the hitting line.
Gao Wen made a judgment immediately and moved towards his forehand gap early. The speed and power of Salamento's incoming ball were not very strong. It was obviously a killer attack, but Gawain arrived in time, stood firm with his legs, raised his right hand and swept across.
state!
The solid sound of hitting the ball can tell that Gawain is fully exerting his power, but the line selection is——
Diagonal slash!
At this time, Saramento's backhand had left a gap, and he was adjusting his focus to prepare for defense. Gao Wen noticed Saramento's start, so he deliberately hit a diagonal slash to disrupt Saramento. Lamento's inertia.
However, Gao Wen did not exert all his strength. Instead, he quickly waved his forearm, twisted his wrist, gently pulled out a diagonal line, controlled the landing point of the return ball, and rushed towards the sideline accurately, and after landing, With strong external rotation, he jumped out directly.
Saramento's steps stopped for a moment, then stopped and turned sharply, and then moved towards his forehand to cover again.
His light and agile feet allowed him to reach the position in time, and he was able to adjust his forehand to complete a complete swing. However, Gao Wen's return ball had external spin, and the hitting point kept jumping out, causing Saramento to lose power. The action is not completed, but the forearm is used to return the ball with a top spin.
Another slash continued, and the tennis ball returned to Gawain's forehand position.
The game has entered a familiar tug-of-war again?
However, this time it was different. From the first forehand return, Gao Wen was already making plans——
Thinking, tennis must think, think every moment, every second. The moment the racket comes into contact with the tennis ball, the whole brain is running at high speed, and different judgments and choices must be made within a millisecond. If you give up thinking , then tennis will lose its charm.
