Squeak, the sharp sound of the soles rubbing against the ground exploded like thunder in the indoor stadium. With the emergency braking of the left foot, the hot sweat was pulled by the centrifugal force and flew out, dragging from a circle to an oval. Then it hits the ground, splashing and blooming.
tread.
The muscle power of his left calf exploded and released instantly, and he rushed out in another direction with a long stride. His light and agile steps disappeared in the strong wind in the blink of an eye, leaving only an afterimage that slowly dissipated in the air.
"Footsteps, watch your steps."
"Rhythm, don't break the rhythm, cross step! Cross step! Cross step!"
Along with Sampras's voice, he simply hit the beat with both hands, matching his own commands, controlling the rhythm of Gawain's movement like a metronome for piano practice, watching Gawain's footsteps intently, his eyes flashing like an eagle. The light of his eyes never misses any detail.
“Tip your toes and stay light.”
"Toes! Watch your toes!"
In front of him, Gawain's movements were obviously tired, but Sampras still did not relax at all. To be precise, it was precisely because Gawain had reached the limit of his physical fitness. Due to the influence of fatigue, his movements, batting movements, etc. would all be impaired. deformation, so more attention is needed.
After all, only by paying attention to details bit by bit during training can we ensure that the conditioned reflex movements can achieve the best results during the competition.
But at this time, it was really, really difficult for Gawain——
Because he needs to fight one against two.
On the opposite side of the court, Peart and Russell stood side by side, one on the left and one on the right, each guarding half of the court, and then took turns to complete the shot.
There were two tennis balls flying over the court. First, Russell's ball was waiting for Gawain to hit Russell's ball back; then Peart's ball flew over again.
This is a very demanding and very difficult foot training, movement training and physical training.
Of course, neither Peart nor Russell will hit the ball with all their strength. They mainly feed the ball, and topspin balls account for the majority. The purpose is not to get Gauvin into the rhythm of hitting the ball; it is to force Gauvin to continue to hit the ball through continuous balls. Wen gets into a constant cycle of moving, hitting, moving, hitting again.
Then, intersperse variation balls.
To put it simply, Peart suddenly hits a flat ball and will not attack with all his strength, but the flight arc of the tennis ball will indeed flatten, disrupting Gawain's movement inertia with sudden changes; at the same time, Russell The next shot of the return shot will be super topspin, slowing down the rhythm and giving Gawain time to return to his position and adjust.
Back and forth. Back and forth.
This is how the cycle continues, and the only requirement is:
Can't drop the ball.
You can't hit the ball after two jumps, you can't go out of bounds, and you can't hit the net.
In addition, Sampras stood behind Gawain, paying attention to Gawain's pace and breathing adjustments, constantly paying attention to details, and giving Gawain reminders.
Such training can be called abnormal——
From Gawain himself.
To be precise, it should come from the system, but now the "credit" belongs to Gawain. Faced with Sampras' perverted look, Gawain can only make a fool of himself.
In the first two days of training, Gao Wen was easily in a hurry, because the entire time of anticipation, movement, decision-making, and hitting was compressed, and the rhythm was easily disrupted. He would often lose control after less than twenty rounds. Ball, the effect of such training is difficult to satisfy.
But as of today, Gawain has gradually mastered it, and there is no problem in thirty or forty rounds; moreover, Gawain will also start to launch a counterattack——
Occasionally, he would take a surprise shot.
For example, the cooperation between Peart and Russell is a little slack, the hitting rhythm is not so closely connected, and the topspin is also slightly too high, giving Gauvin a little breathing space, and then Gauvin will seize the opportunity to reverse the situation. , turning defense into offense.
Just like this time.
Tap tap tap.
Kick the ground! brake! Turn around! Hit the ball!
Before Gao Wen took action, Russell had already realized that the situation was not good, because he still could not control the spin of his return ball and was caught by Gao Wen.
"ah!"
Russell let out a cry, but Gao Wen showed no mercy. He grabbed a small part of the shot with his forehand, quickly pressed down and shot, and the tennis ball instantly penetrated like an arrow.
Russell, in a state of disarray.
Fortunately, Gao Wen could not open the angle and could only aim at Russell's half. Russell's defense was easier, and he still got there quickly in time.
However, Gawain did not relax, and immediately moved his steps laterally. Because Peart also noticed Gawain's surprise attack, he immediately hit a flat ball in coordination, disrupting Gawain's rhythm again.
ah!
This time it was Gawain who exclaimed. It was still too difficult to fight one against two. He tried his best to rush the horse and blocked it with his backhand. He almost pulled a moon ball back; and he stopped and turned again. , rushed towards the other side to deal with Russell's incoming ball.
However, after all, my steps were still a little messy, I didn't find the hitting point correctly, and I pulled a topspin on my forehand. As a result, the length control was slightly off, and the baseline was pulled out.
"ah……"
Gawain looked up to the sky and sighed, holding his head, very, very dissatisfied. Although he did not speak, his voice already conveyed enough information:
Just a little bit, just a little bit, the forehand control shouldn't be so greedy.
Snap, snap, snap.
Sampras applauded from behind.
"There's no need to be so upset. This performance was already very good."
"This time, it lasted a full 71 rounds. Gawain broke through 70 rounds for the first time and broke the record. Well done."
There was a hint of satisfaction in Sampras's eyes.
Looking towards the other side of the court, Russell and Peart were already very tired. Although they worked together to take care of half of the court, they could still feel the impact of Gawain at all times.
Moreover, after a stalemate of more than 60 shots, Gawain was able to launch a counterattack, and even came close to reversing the situation. If Peart had not keenly seized the opportunity, I am afraid that if there were more shots in this super long tug-of-war, Gawain might still have A real comeback.
But Gawain had no way to respond at this moment, his chest was heaving violently like a bellows, and his knees were weak.
"Breathe, Gawain, breathe, inhale, exhale...inhale, exhale..."
Pelt was also panting a little, but the voice came from the other side immediately.
The more overdrawn you are, the more you need to grit your teeth and persevere, slowly adjust and recover, let your body adapt to the intensity, and slowly relax, otherwise your heart may really explode.
Gao Wen didn't say anything, he just raised his racket, gestured towards Peart, and then began to walk back and forth along the baseline, slowly adjusting his breathing.
vomit.
My stomach was churning, and my tongue seemed to be able to taste the taste of Kung Pao Chicken last night.
After being exhausted, his mind went blank and he couldn't think at all. He had no idea how he persisted.
But what is more important now is to firmly remember this moment and this feeling, and let the brain work again, thinking about the reason why the defensive counterattack just did not succeed——
Apart from the objective factor of being one against two, what other reasons are there?
One hundred percent, Gawain said, devote one hundred percent of your energy and do what you say.
