Watching Tim turn around and leave silently, Gawain stood there with his hands on his hips, shaking his head gently with a look of despair on his face, and sighing to express his regret.
It's like a pantomime performance.
Noticing Gawain's actions, the audience laughed sparsely, and the atmosphere was so relaxed that it stole the spotlight from the Bryan brothers.
Bob also noticed the flow of momentum for the first time, turned his head to look at the other side of the stadium, and then saw this scene. He patted Mike on the shoulder with joy and laughed cheerfully, as if to say:
I told you, he's a funny guy.
Laughing and laughing, Brother Bryan also returned to the baseline, ready to continue the game.
Break point.
In the second area, Tim serves and Mike receives the serve.
Gao Wen and Tim slightly changed their serving tactics. Gao Wen did not stand at the bottom line or the service area of the first area as usual, but stood at the junction of the two service areas, then squatted down and curled up into a hedgehog. , waiting for Tim to serve.
This is a very classic doubles receiving and serving tactic:
For the receiving side, the entire court on the opposite side is open, and all possibilities for returning the ball are open; but at the same time, they cannot be sure how the player standing in front of the net will move, and a game of uncertainty arises. Countless possibilities.
With such a tactic, the advantage will be slightly on the server side, because the server can control his own serve and create the effect he wants, and then let his partner complete the subsequent attacks.
In fact, this is exactly the case.
Tim chose a close serve, and Mike's position was obviously squeezed. He habitually pushed a diagonal with his forehand, and the ball was hit without any spin. Then Gao Wen, who was waiting for the chance, waited, and blocked one after another. If blocked, the ball will be returned directly to the wall.
Tennis, back inside the Bryan Brothers' court.
Gao Wen's return ball was very low and shallow. Mike's position was still on the baseline. His vertical movement was half a beat slower and he had already missed the hitting point. This also meant that Mike could not draw the ball and could only Save the ball and fall into a passive defensive state.
Mike chose to chip.
But Mike is worthy of being a veteran who has been in the game for many years. Before cutting the shot, he took a look at the positions of Gao Wen and Tim. Both players had already arrived in front of the net, forming a frontcourt pressure, leaving Mike with very limited room for choice.
Then.
Mike chipped a little ball in front of the net, straight line.
Tim stepped forward in small steps, completed the defense immediately, feinted a shot, pretended to cut a diagonal shot, but cut a straight line back at the moment of release.
Unfortunately, Tim's skills in front of the net were the same as Gawain's. They were too rough and his fake moves were not concealed enough and were seen through by Mike.
Mike took a step forward and made a light stroke like slicing sashimi, and then he could see the tennis ball falling rapidly like a dragonfly landing on a lotus leaf.
slash.
Strong side spin.
Light and thin.
The incident angle should be only ten to fifteen degrees, almost flying sideways against the net, and it seems that the sound of paper cutting can be heard in the ears.
Gawain was highly focused and moved sideways with the tennis ball step by step. However, he found that he could not catch up with the speed of the tennis ball despite his preparation, because Mike's delicate touch was so outstanding——
This is completely different from baseline hitting.
The bottom line drawing looks simple and rough, without any details at all; but the processing before the net is as delicate and meticulous as embroidery.
Gao Wen's footsteps had already entered the area outside the singles line and inside the doubles line, and the tennis ball continued to fly outwards, hitting the sideline and jumping out directly. He completed a perfect breakthrough from the line to the landing point, so that the stadium reverberated. There was a gasping sound.
Tap tap tap.
Gawain rushed forward in small steps, stretched out his body, stretched his upper body with all his strength, and managed to catch the tennis ball that was about to disappear with a backhand with both hands in a fishing-for-the-moon-from-the-sea gesture.
But Mike's shot of the ball had already given the Bryan brothers an advantage. The two stood near the midfield, covering the whole situation, so that Gawain's outside-in straight shot fell directly into Bob's hands, and a volley was enough. He easily cut back the tennis ball that Gawain almost lost his center of gravity before saving.
Coming and going, it was dizzying and there was no breathing space at all.
Then, there was a close fight.
"Tim VS Bryan Brothers", you and I quickly converted three volleys in front of the net, and tennis evolved into badminton.
At this time, Tim had no tactics at all. He could only parry, relying entirely on conditioned reflexes to push left and block right. He had no time to think, and subconsciously completed incredible blocks in a row. Even Tim didn't know it. How you accomplished it yourself.
Fortunately, Gawain quickly adjusted his center of gravity, returned to his defensive position immediately, and joined the battle with a horizontal cut. Mike seemed to see Gawain's figure. Not only did he not avoid it, but he cut sideways and hit Gawain's body directly. .
Turning and heavy.
Mike's shot selection was completely unexpected and caught Gawain off guard.
ah!
Gawain's steps were in a forward posture, and he couldn't get out of the way at all, so he could only block the backhand with both hands in front of him. He simply gave up the swing and used the power of his body to complete the impact; but his wrist cleverly moved outwards. Rubbing, between lightning and flint, the level of delicate technique can still be seen.
rub.
The tennis ball flew out in the direction of Gawain's forward motion, leaving a small diagonal line, and then flew towards Mike.
Mike was taking a step forward to stick to the net and prepare to block the angle. Instead, he was killed by Gawain's small slash. It can be clearly seen that Gawain's impact also imitated Mike's previous cut, pushing and blocking a tricky shot. The sharp side spin of the ball broke through Mike's defense like a falling meteor.
Use the other person's way to repay the other person's body.
But Mike didn't have time to lament Gawain's learning ability. He retreated in small steps but couldn't catch up. Seeing that the tennis ball was about to break through his defense line, his two-handed backhand was hastily converted into a one-handed backhand. With a kick of his legs, the whole His body flew out and he could barely reach the tennis ball below the net.
Because of the flip of his body's center of gravity, Mike was already flying into the air, holding the racket with one hand without any control at all, just blocking it.
The tennis ball flies high into the sky along a diagonal line like a rocket!
One second, Tim was in dire straits with one against two, with almost no power to parry; the next second, Gawain quickly arrived and reversed the situation with a side cut, and Mike's passive defense immediately lost all the advantages of the Bryan brothers. , but gave Gao Wen a baseline high ball.
Kick, kick, kick!
Just as his steps returned to their original position, Gawain stopped, turned, and then turned around and rushed towards the bottom line. In an instant, he entered an anaerobic state and ran at full speed.
Bottom line, inside the big triangle.
The quality of Mike's passive defense is not bad. The position is in the big triangle, but there is nothing to say about the strength and rotation. In extremely difficult circumstances, Mike also showed his hand a little, showing his skillful touch, and then again The passive situation was reversed and Gawain was pushed to the cliff.
The whole place was surging with the sound of hunting wind.
