Kick the ground. Welcome forward.
If you play it back in slow motion, you can see that Gao Wen's racket obviously made a small upward movement, which is a typical topspin hitting movement; at the same time, the movement of straightening the knee and fully turning the body was completed in one go, and the entire hitting movement was smooth and smooth. The movement of the ball seems to be a real pleasure.
state.
The sound of hitting the ball was still not clear and crisp. Gao Wen still did not use his full strength. He mainly focused on skill and control. He just missed the hitting time slightly. The soft wrapping of his wrist and arm was fully demonstrated in this hitting action. , and then all the eyes of the audience were focused on the tennis ball.
Whizzing.
Whizzing!
You can see the tennis ball drawing a light diagonal parabola and flying towards Mayer's left court.
Slash?
It’s actually a slash!
Mayer's footwork was a little slow:
In the previous shot, he sprinted quickly laterally and braked suddenly, so that his footsteps stopped in the midfield. His conditioned reflex was to stay in the midfield, waiting for the ball, but his attention was habitually protecting his gap, which was behind him. The forehand position——
Because it is more difficult to move in the opposite direction, it is natural to think that Gao Wen will attack his forehand. After all, his backhand position has performed well so far today.
Gawain, however, chose the slash.
On the next shot, the body and consciousness collided with each other. The body reflexively moved to the right to protect the forehand, while the consciousness had already judged that it should continue to move to the left to respond to the backhand. This slight deviation led to Sluggish startup.
After a short pause, Mayer immediately started again, pulling his heavy steps to get rid of the constraints of gravity and body inertia, and quickly moved towards the backhand position. Then he realized the trick hidden in Gao Wen's return——
The hitting power and speed are not fast, but the diagonal line is completely torn, almost equivalent to an outside corner serve, and after landing, it bounces high and high, showing the strong topspin power.
Even if the steps are in place, there is no room for a backhand shot. Fortunately, Mayer used a one-handed backhand:
The racket became an extension of the arm, and the body stretched to the extreme. Using the strength of the wrist, it barely managed to hit the racket diagonally above the shoulder.
rub.
In one dangerous situation after another, Mayer hooked the tennis ball back into the court, but his body's center of gravity was still dragged forward by the inertia of the second sprint. His staggering steps could not stop, and he was caught in a gust of wind and rain. He braked hard to control his body balance and reluctantly looked back at the direction of the tennis ball.
It's Gawain!
Mayer immediately saw Gao Wen quickly cut into the baseline and arrived near the midfield. He adjusted his center of gravity in small steps and waited patiently for the tennis ball to land. He even had time to capture Mayer's position with his peripheral vision. This made Mayer sound the alarm in his heart——
Oops!
The next second, Gao Wen's forehand was completely stretched out, elegant and unrestrained, and he completed the hitting swing fully and firmly. The blue whirlwind figure once again burst out with huge energy.
boom!
The sound of the shot is solid and the landing sound is crisp. There is no need to even pursue the angle, because Mayer's entire forehand court has been cleared.
Score, so easily.
Mayer was helpless.
"Game, Gawain."
In the first game of the second set, after taking a "40:15" lead, Gao Wen easily kept serve!
Ahhhh!
Ahhhh!
An incredible frenzy instantly erupted in the diamond court of the Olympic Tennis Center. The audience could be seen applauding one after another. The applause and whistles were intertwined, so that the hazy blue sky above their heads evolved into a storm. A sense of change.
Even if laymen can't understand the rules and can only watch the excitement, they also know that Gawain won this game very easily and completely proactively. The whole score was smooth and pleasing to the eye. All four points scored were Gawain's winning points without relying on his opponent. Made a mistake and won the serve.
The game seems to be back under Gawain's control?
"Gawain, come on!"
"Gawain, come on!"
Today, the attendance rate at the Diamond Stadium, which can accommodate 13,000 people, has exceeded 50%, which is already very rare for a first-round match——
You know, even the first round games of the Big Three were not so popular.
The bustling audience all came to see the excitement, but it was not until now that they were able to release their emotions. Then the diamond stadium started to ring with all kinds of shouts and slogans.
Jiang Yanqing turned her head and looked around, a little shy and a little reserved, but in the end emotion defeated reason, and the wolf howled erupted from her chest.
"Ouch!"
The audience at the Diamond Stadium didn't know why, and they burst into low laughter, which made Jiang Yanqing feel more and more embarrassed. Just when she was hesitating whether she should give up, she saw Gao Wen.
In the stadium, Gawain did not cheer loudly and celebrate. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the source of the wolf howling. Then he pointed at his head with his right index finger, then walked backwards back to the baseline. He curled up his right index finger and clenched it into a fist, and knocked. He tapped the place where his heart was beating in his chest.
Bang bang.
There was a look of perseverance in his eyes, and he seemed to be expressing with actions:
think! will!
This is the correct way to open the game. When he is in poor condition, he can always find a way in difficult situations by using his mind to open up the situation.
Involuntarily, Jiang Yanqing's heart surged. She could feel the mood of Gu Xiao watching the game again, and the wolf howl broke out again.
"Ouch!"
This time, Jiang Yanqing was not alone. Several wolf howls could be heard scattered in the corners of the diamond court. It seemed a little lonely in the stadium of Nottingham University. However, it was precisely this loneliness that made the lonely wolf howl. The sound became more and more prominent, with a majestic and majestic sound of "the wind is rustling and the water is cold"——
Don’t forget, a wolf pack is actually made up of lone wolves.
The smile just climbed onto the corners of Jiang Yanqing's mouth.
In the studio, Zhan Jun turned to look at Hu Litao beside him and showed a smile.
"It can be seen from the first game of the second set that Gao Wen has made changes. His entire shot selection and route layout have demonstrated his strength."
"Actually, the power and speed of Gao Wen's hitting are decreasing, and he pays more attention to the arrangement and combination of the lines. This was the case in this point just now. Gao Wen unexpectedly chose a center and a backhand, completely disrupting Mayer's judgment and taking him by surprise. The line selection caught Mayer off guard, and then the attack connection speed increased and he entered the baseline to complete the midfield attack."
"Simply put, reduce risk and improve quality. Gawain's scoring difficulty will be greatly reduced."
"That's the most important thing, Gawain's brain seems to be clear again and the whole shot is very clear."
"It seems that after the first set, Gao Wen has gradually found his feeling for the game."
"Next, it depends on whether Gao Wen can make a difference in Mayer's serve."
A layman sees the excitement; an expert sees the secrets.
Zhan Jun could see at a glance the changes Gao Wen made in the first game of the second set, and the effect was even more immediate. Then, Gao Wen found an opportunity in Mayer's serve.
