The situation is not good, very, very bad.
"ah!"
Gawain roared from the depths of his dantian.
Three consecutive sudden stops and turns, even on hard ground, continuous rapid changes of direction are a severe test, causing a fierce impact on the ankles and knees. If you are not paying attention or not in place, you may not be able to stand on the ground——
Being unable to move properly is a small matter; falling and getting injured is a big deal.
but!
Gawain's steps this time were lighter and more flexible than the previous two times.
On the one hand, be fully prepared. After the previous sliding step, you can adjust your small step jumps to regain your center of gravity and control your body in time.
On the one hand, it is necessary to predict in advance. After Gawain's backhand slash creates enough impact, what route will Nadal choose for his forehand attack?
In the blink of an eye, Gao Wen fell into a passive position continuously and had no time to predict in advance. However, deep down in his heart, he was mentally prepared for the repeated return shots. It was not surprising that Nadal continuously attacked his backhand position. A moment of conditioned reflex has produced a response.
With one jump, the whole trend of movement is resolved.
As he landed on the ground, he kicked off his right leg and felt the sliding of the sand and the support of the soil. The strong reaction force was transmitted bit by bit along with the bursting of the muscles, and the body was already moving towards the ground again like an arrow. He rushed out on his left, leaving only an afterimage.
Big step forward!
Again, big step!
At this time, between the sudden stops and turns, there was not enough time and space to complete the sliding step - at least, Gawain's footsteps were not so skilled yet.
Gawain was not at all panicked, and sprinted horizontally with long strides, just like the acceleration phase of a 100-meter sprint, instantly increasing his speed.
Sprint!
Sprint!
Sprint again!
Go against the wind!
When described, it seems to be very long; but in fact, it is only two big steps, and Gawain has returned to his position in the blink of an eye.
Rapid response.
Light body.
Moreover, this time Gao Wen's steps were in place, which also meant that Nadal's return ball was sent to Gao Wen's hands, which instead allowed Gao Wen to win the space to hit the ball.
Here, Gawain has already started to take pictures.
On the other side, Nadal also immediately judged from Gawain's second start speed, and immediately realized that Gawain might fight next.
So, how would Gawain choose his route? Slash? straight line? Middle?
Look, this is the difference between having the right footwork and not being in place. This time Gao Wen's footwork was in place, and he already had room to swing even if he changed the line.
With Gawain's line-changing ability, he can directly aim at the blind spot in a straight line with a single shot of his backhand, and can reverse the situation from defense to attack with one shot.
Nadal is facing a crisis.
This is tennis, which is constantly changing. The transition between offense and defense between top players often happens in just one shot, without any warning and no way to guard against it.
So, how did Nadal choose?
OK.
Jump lightly.
In just two steps, Nadal has regained his center of gravity and moved slightly to his right, keeping his center of gravity active.
Cross step.
Cross step again!
Nadal maintains a tendency to move back to the center of the court. Whether Gao Wen chooses a straight line or a diagonal line, this also means that he can defend.
At this moment, Gawain hit the ball and Nadal moved——
Nadal kept a light posture with his toes on the ground and pulled his body to the right, but then he noticed Gawain's movement trend. He followed the inertia of the lateral movement and threw his body directly without pause or control. Go ahead and follow the forward inertia of the round racket to complete the ball.
slash.
Slash!
Obviously, Gawain is willing to take the risk——
Directly superimpose the weight of the body and the inertia of forward movement, choose to give it a try, and shoot the diagonal shot to aim for the winning point.
Because Gawain's entire center of gravity has been thrown out, if he needs to make a fourth sudden stop and turn, there is no other way. This also means that Gawain has given up the entire court on the right side and followed the centrifugal force. Pulling his body out, as long as Nadal can return the tennis ball to the court, Gawain will be unable to save him.
There is no way to come back.
So, slash.
Gao Wen did not choose to change his line, but also chose to return the ball repeatedly, challenging Nadal's forehand head-on again.
Strong!
tough!
In the entire tour, there are indeed very few players who dare to attack Nadal's forehand head-on.
Danger.
Nadal could immediately feel the impact of the desperate move. His footsteps landed lightly on the ground, and with a kick of his right leg, his body was already sprinting laterally to the left.
step.
Two steps.
Three steps, then, with a kick of the left leg, the body has already slid out horizontally. The light and agile posture is as graceful as a giant. You can even see the hairband and the hem of clothes dancing gracefully. The transition from sprinting to sliding is seamless. Flowing clouds and flowing water, a pure enjoyment.
"ah!"
Nadal also roared because——
Gawain's two-handed backhand slash was launched with all his strength, and his strength and speed increased to a whole new level, bombarding him like a cannonball.
Nadal, whose speed was a little unable to keep up, was gliding out with lightning speed.
Just when the tennis ball was about to hit the ground for the second time, Nadal saw that Nadal's body was completely pressed down, almost parallel to the ground, and his left hand cut into the gap between the tennis ball and the ground, so thin that it even scooped up a piece of red soil.
but!
Hit!
Incredible!
Amazing!
Nadal actually succeeded in saving the ball again. As long as he stands on the clay court, he is like a magician, always delivering incredible shots.
With his body out of position, Nadal only relied on the power of his wrists to flick and lift, stretching everything from his sliding steps to his arms to the extreme——
Hit the ball and that's it.
The tennis ball flew up and slid out of a full and moving parabola.
Across the field!
Including the coaches standing on the sidelines, they all raised their heads and stared at the flying arc of the tennis ball.
So, what about Gawain?
Tap tap tap!
Sprint, advance, derail.
Gawain continued to move to the left, like a derailed train with failed brakes. After completely throwing his body along the centrifugal force, he could no longer stop the car. The red soil had almost no grip at all. If he forced an emergency Braking, judging from Gawain's current unskilled pace:
Injury may be a high probability event.
Therefore, Gawain gave up forcing the brakes and followed the force of the forward motion, unable to stop.
At this point, there was no possibility of turning around, and we were drifting away.
However, Gawain was still concerned about the court. He turned his head and awkwardly turned sideways to look behind him, catching the flight path of the tennis ball in the air, and then he could see——
A mustard yellow light fell rapidly.
He was about to go out of bounds, but because of the "Na-type super top spin", he changed his flight trajectory, abruptly folding the parabola and falling off a cliff.
That incredible flying parabola is thrilling! Astonishing skills!
The whole audience's eyes were focused.
However, Gao Wen had already lost his position and had to retract his sight, look forward again, hit the barbed wire fence beside the stadium, and rely on external force to brake.
So, what about this ball?
Did Nadal's return go inbounds, or did it go out of bounds?
