"Out!"
One shot, out of bounds.
Gao Wen glanced at the placement of Pui's serve and immediately realized Pui's tactics. Obviously, this was a serve attack, using standard tactics on hard courts to increase the rhythm.
Although this is clay soil, occasionally using hard courts or grass tactics to intersperse and match them can indeed achieve miraculous results.
So, what does this mean?
From the last game to this one, overall, Puy has indeed become more and more aggressive, and at the same time, more and more impatient, trying to apply pressure quickly.
Gawain is not a psychiatrist, and he has no way of knowing the reasons behind Puy's changes in tactics, but he can detect that the situation has indeed changed.
So, should he test it out?
Since the NCAA period, Gao Wen's grasp and analysis of the context of the game has always been his strength, and he can improve his status and create opportunities at the right time——
As for whether the opportunity can be grasped, it is a game. It all depends on on-the-spot performance, not just on Gawain's own performance.
Second serve.
Gawain moved his position slightly forward by half a step, lightly jumping on tiptoes, keeping his center of gravity light, and looking at Pui intently.
Take a knee!
Toss the ball!
Kick the ground!
Turn around!
Swing the racket!
Gawain's eyes were fixed on Pui's serving movement, rising and flying along with the tennis ball, and his concentration reached a whole new level.
Then, the body jumped slightly on the spot, adjusted the center of gravity, and kicked off the ground the moment it landed! start up! move!
As soon as the left leg kicks, the strength of the calf muscles is instantly released. With the right leg as the support, the powerful reaction force has pushed the body to sprint towards the right side.
outer corner.
Forehand.
This is not a gamble, but a prediction and a game.
In fact, both of them are speculating and tug-of-war, just like playing chess. After Puy chooses the outside corner for the first serve, will he change his tactics for the second serve?
The collision and judgment of different possibilities are like mathematical probabilities, fermenting out thousands of different directions, and finally, condensing into a brief moment.
Kick off the ground and start.
On the verge of breaking out!
It can be seen from Gao Wen's actions that he predicted and started in advance. He chose to receive the serve and attack, that is, to attack the second serve.
So, the key is, is Gawain's prediction accurate? Or maybe Puy deceived him and chose the inside corner, which directly misaligned him and formed an ACE?
The tennis ball was spinning rapidly. Although the speed and power were somewhat restrained by the second serve, the full parabola still completely tore the angle apart.
...outside corner!
Puy, opting for the outside corner, for the second time in a row.
After the tennis ball landed, the strong friction of the red soil released a stronger and more ferocious spin, pulling out a stunning parabola.
Turn again! And high!
The angle was completely torn apart, and the hitting point should have been close to the doubles sideline.
but!
Gawain appears.
really!
Outside corner, forehand, this is still Puy's tactical combination.
The reason is very simple. Since the beginning of the game, Puy's serving tactics have been relatively successful and the results have been good. At the critical moment, and in the context of psychological speculation, Puy is sure that Gawain believes that he will not choose the outside corner twice in a row to avoid being caught. , but continued to insist on doing the opposite.
But he never expected that Gawain would successfully catch Pui's stubbornness with his teenage rebelliousness——
Teenagers are always like this. The more they say "don't do this, don't do that" and the more they say "dangerous", the more they like to do it and are keen to sing the opposite.
Now it seems that Pui has not gotten rid of the troubles of puberty and is worried that acne may affect his image in front of his crush goddess.
Then, Gawain makes his shining appearance.
Big step forward!
Continuous strides!
Although he moved ahead of schedule, Gawain did not choose to adjust in small steps. Instead, he increased his speed and threw his body directly with long strides.
The pull of centrifugal force and acceleration makes the body run at full speed; the accumulation of inertia and speed are completely superimposed through the movements of turning and swinging the racket.
There is no braking, but the swing is completed while running at high speed.
Forehand.
Waving arms.
Sweep.
Crash!
The multiple forces all collided and superimposed, and finally evolved into a beat of the epee without an edge. The impact of "power vs. power" poured down towards the tennis ball.
Thor's hammer, critical strike!
straight line!
Dead end!
The tennis ball flew straight along the sideline on Gawain's right, turning into a streamline, watching the long light and shadow pull forward like a shooting star.
boom!
boom.
Two consecutive sounds of hitting the ball exploded one after another. The first one was the sound of Gawain's hitting the ball, and the latter sound was the sound of the tennis ball hitting the ground.
Then, the tennis ball disappeared.
Puy was about to enter the baseline to complete the follow-up attack, but before he could fully return to his position, he was already nailed to the spot.
like a statue.
stunned.
I strongly doubted my eyes, but the mark of the ball in the blind corner of the baseline was indeed so clear and precise, like a cannonball exploding into a vortex.
"40:AD".
Break point, again.
It was clear that Puy had two consecutive game points, but in the blink of an eye, everything was turned upside down.
Return serve ACE.
Gao Wen used an unparalleled return shot, boldly and boldly took the risk, and directly grabbed the second serve to attack, turning the situation around in a critical moment.
boom!
The whole audience burst into applause.
On that side, after Gawain completely threw his body, he had no way to brake. He moved his entire area out of the way and rushed forward along with the inertia. He relied on continuous small steps to slowly slow down to avoid sudden stops and turns. Emergency brake, he can't see whether his return ball will score.
It wasn't until I heard the referee's score report and the cheering whistle filling the entire field that I realized that I had seized the opportunity by giving it a try.
The pace finally reached the sidelines of the spectator stands, and he barely stopped by relying on the railings.
Somewhat embarrassed.
But Gawain didn't mind, so he simply raised his right hand and gave high-fives to the audience on the sidelines. The spectators around him reacted a moment later and rushed to high-five Gawain one after another. The brief interaction added some tidbits to the game.
ha!
The crowd burst into laughter.
Then, Gao Wen returned to the field and walked towards the second area with relaxed steps.
Here, Pui's knees were slightly weak.
It was bad enough that he was caught on the second serve and suffered a hammer blow, resulting in three consecutive points and a break point. This was bad enough; then, the audience all stood on Gawain's side, and the bitterness rose on the tip of their tongues, which made the situation even worse. , the chaotic emotions in my mind are raging——
This is Monte Carlo. Logically speaking, it should be half of the home court of French players, but why?
The audience is all on Gawain's side!
Pui was a little depressed.
Puy took a long breath, exhaled all the turbid air in his chest, turned his back to the court, out of sight, out of sight, and regained his composure.
Don't panic, there is no need to panic.
He just faced a break point. Next, he still took the initiative and concentrated on setting up from the serve to save the break point, right?
So, how should the second zone choose to serve?
Otherwise, continue with the forehand?
