Chance!
When Isner saw Gawain's shaky catching action, he immediately sounded the alarm. Although his pace was slightly slower, his tactical awareness kept up and he immediately ran in the direction of the tennis ball.
It can be seen from the flight trajectory and status in the air that Gawain failed to control the tennis ball. This was a dish. Isner's serve achieved the best effect.
But Isner did not get carried away. He was completely focused. He adjusted his two long strides and when he returned the ball, he had already raised his forehand. He spread his arms like a roc spreading its wings. The power started from the soles of his feet and passed through his knees. The kick is transferred straight to the upper body, a full turn, and then——
Swing the racket! Hit the ball!
The momentum is overwhelming!
boom!
With a sweeping stroke, the power of Isner's forehand was fully released. This time he found the hitting point accurately. He used all the power to complete the stroke firmly, all attached to the tennis ball. In the end When thrown out, it was released gracefully.
Diagonal slash!
Boom, boom, boom, the tennis ball flew towards the diagonal triangle of the court like a spark hitting the earth.
Do we have to score directly?
of course not.
Kick, kick, kick!
Kick, kick, kick!
Gawain's figure running at full speed was completely integrated with the scorching wind and the sun. His continuous long strides took full advantage of his long legs. It seemed that one second he was at the other end of the court, and the next second he had crossed the middle and was running at full speed. Rush toward the big triangle on the right.
Gao Wen's attention was always focused. The moment he received the serve, his brain had already begun to sprint towards his forehand space. Although his body was slightly slower by half a beat due to the inertia of the forward movement, his left leg moved forward. By pedaling, the body has entered a state of lateral movement.
Kick the ground! Take a step!
Kick the ground! Take a step!
His feet could clearly feel the reaction force from the solid ground, pushing his body to race against the howling wind. He was running faster and faster, forgetting himself, and his eyes were always observing Isner's shots. Sure enough, As expected, Isner hit the forehand gap with full force.
Sprint, as if you can feel the soles of your feet burning.
Kick!
However, Isner accurately found the hitting point this time, and all his power was poured into the tennis ball. The tennis ball flew at full speed like a bolt of lightning.
Gawain predicted in advance and moved in advance, but he was still a little slower.
Kick the ground! Charge forward! Turn your back!
Because he couldn't keep up with the speed, Gawain simply took a big step forward. His flexible body made a split movement that was comparable to gymnastics, and the hard ground turned into clay. The racket became an extension of his arm, and he tried his best to move out. Jump out.
Then, he slashed hard from top to bottom.
rub.
At this time, the body movements have been stretched to the extreme, and there is no room to exert force at all. Even the swing movement is incomplete. However, Gao Wen still cleverly uses his hand and ball feel to fully cut down and use the continuous contact with the racket surface. Attach more friction to the tennis ball.
At the moment when the ball was released, his wrist gently pressed down, adding some weird rotation——
Even Gawain himself couldn't figure out what this cutting spin would look like, because the batting action was already irregular and distorted.
This stroke really puts Gawain's use of body extension to the extreme.
oh!
A low voice could be clearly heard coming from Arthur Ashe Stadium. No one expected that Gawain would come up with such a solution in a desperate situation.
So, what about Isner?
Tap tap tap.
Tap tap tap.
Isner's footsteps immediately cut into the bottom line, because he knew that Gawain had fallen into extreme passivity, and he needed to shorten Gawain's reaction time.
In three steps, Isner had already entered the frontcourt, and his footsteps were near the service line. He carefully observed the rotation. It was difficult to judge the irregular rotation, so Isner stepped forward with his feet one after the other. Stand still, hold backhand with both hands——
He was prepared to use absolute power to suppress the spin, because Gawain's cutting had no power at all. For Isner, this was the safest option.
Kick the ground! Invite the shot! Turn around! Shoot!
Isner hit the tennis ball hard, smashing it with enough force to explode the tennis ball, and went full force for the second consecutive racket.
Backhand, slash.
but……
etc!
A dark blue figure was running wildly horizontally. It had already appeared in the other half of the court. Why did Gawain appear on his batting line again? What speed is this?
Just after hitting the ball in the previous shot, Gao Wen kicked off the ground with his left leg, pushing his body to complete a clockwise circle, turning 180 degrees to face the other half, and then sprinted out at a speed of 100 meters. His feet were running wildly, and the whole movement was smooth and smooth. The "suicide" practice of usually turning and stopping suddenly became more effective at this time.
Gawain, who had entered anaerobic exercise state, was running with all his strength, comparable to the speed of light of Sonic the Hedgehog. In an instant, he had reached his backhand half and continued to fill the gap.
really!
Isner's return ball was guessed by Gawain again.
Again, heavy, fast, flat and urgent, this time Isner's shot was equally powerful, and the entire tennis ball jumped down like an osprey sinking into the sea.
Early on, Gawain's two-handed backhand was ready to lead the shot.
But this time it was a little different. The range of the stroke was very small. After taking long strides, he used small steps to adjust his position. However, there was no way to complete the adjustment at such a speed. The hitting position was still deviated, but there was no time. and space.
On the arc of the tennis ball's rapid fall, Gawain's hands and forearms were swung rapidly, and the racket was slightly raised, creating a thin and fast swing path, as if he was slicing sashimi delicately.
Touch the ball!
Lift!
Flick your wrist!
Push!
All the lights and shadows in the entire scene froze at this moment, and even the sound of the wind and the sun stopped, as if they were trapped in a black hole where time stagnated. When the pace could no longer continue, use the extended strength of the upper body to push forward further. go out.
ah!
boom!
With a powerful roar, Gawain's whole body exploded to the extreme, and then the tennis ball was pushed out fiercely.
straight line!
The backhand straight line, like a long sword unsheathed, once again passed through the sky above Arthur Ashe Stadium at the most critical and important moment, taking away the breath of all the spectators, watching the flight trajectory of the tennis ball with unblinking eyes and bated gaze. .
Isner realized something was wrong immediately, spread out his body like a big bird, and leaped towards the gap on his right side in an attempt to intercept.
However, it was too far, too late. The entire stadium had opened up. Isner threw himself out, but he still couldn't catch up. It was just out of reach, just like the Chinese Valentine's Day that opened the sky. That Milky Way is like a river and cannot be traversed.
Then, under the blazing gazes of thousands of people in the audience, the tennis ball drew a straight line and landed accurately within the triangle between the baseline and the sideline.
boom!
The mustard yellow light and shadow bounced out and disappeared.
The next second, a thunderous sound came from my ears.
"Set, high!"
Hurrah!
In an instant, the whole place was boiling!
