Press the backhand from the middle and serve from close range.
However, Gao Wen's serve has limited pressure on Giron. Whether it is power or spin, Giron is always able to wrap the tennis ball well and then complete the return.
This time too.
Jiron made two small steps to get out of position, and pushed the tennis ball back with a backhand shot. The route of pressing the deep area in the middle was relatively conservative but stable enough. It used the depth to press Gao Wen's swing time, and limited Gao Wen's tearing through the middle.
Opening angle——
This is actually one of Gawain's many tactical routines against Sarkisian.
Gao Wen indeed failed to find a good opportunity, because Geelong's defensive ability also needs to be vigilant. A reckless attack is likely to waste energy, and may even cause him to lose his position and fall into passivity.
Therefore, Gao Wen also performed a backhand diagonal shot in a satisfactory manner, slightly opening the position, but did not open the angle. He just lured Jilong to open the line first.
However, Giron did not find a suitable opportunity - he was also wary of Gawain's defensive ability and there was no need to attack blindly.
Then, the pull ball appeared.
Both Gao Wen and Ji Long are players with outstanding baseline hitting ability. They have their own understanding of how to handle spin and changes in power, and will not miss simple shots easily. This also makes the two players' round shots better.
The layout requires some novelty and some adventure.
Bang. Bang.
Bang. Bang.
In the blink of an eye, the two men had hit each other eight times.
Giron was suppressing Gawain's forehand, and Gawain was suppressing Giron's backhand. The result was that neither of them changed their lines and stood on one side of the court to straighten their lines.
In one shot, Gao Wen pressed a little deeper and landed directly on the baseline. Ji Long's position was slightly squeezed, but he still took a shot and came back straight. Then Gao Wen noticed the opportunity because of Ji Long's position.
The balance was not stable, so he immediately took a step forward and grabbed an ascending point.
boom!
The sound of hitting the ball was suddenly different. Gawain drew a slash, and his power and speed immediately increased.
ah!
Giron habitually prepared to defend his backhand, only to find that Gawain was hitting a diagonal shot and quickly sprinted and moved horizontally while adjusting his footsteps.
Powerful!
Giron's moving steps were very good, and he was already in place with several consecutive strides, but the timing was a little late, and the hitting point was already very far back.
With no other choice, Giron took another big step, cut a shot, and barely pulled the tennis ball out of an arc, flying across the court back to Gawain's forehand position.
However, in a difficult situation, Geelong's return ball still ensured quality. It was deep and deflected, entering the small triangle between the bottom line and the sideline. The defensive effect was top-notch, enough to suppress Gao Wen's offense.
However, Gawain still thinks this is an opportunity.
Because Jilong cut one shot, his body's center of gravity has been disrupted, and his attack connection with the next shot immediately followed. He stood firmly on both feet, rounded the forehand, and hit a straight shot with all his strength.
The moment he released the shot, Gao Wen realized that he had not been able to exert his full strength. Jilong's cutting was too deep, and the landing point suppressed Gao Wen's position. Even though he was prepared in advance, the swing space was not adjusted, and his strength was natural.
It is not complete enough, and the offensive quality of this shot may be slightly lacking.
really!
Jilong matched up as fast as lightning. He hit the backhand with both hands and hit a diagonal line with a backhand in the middle. He also changed the way he hit the ball and grabbed a rising point. Then the return ball was flat and fast.
On the basis of Gawain's speed increase, he once again increased the rhythm a little.
Whoosh!
The tennis ball flew over quickly like a missile. Even though Gawain had already got his steps in place immediately, Giron's hitting point was near the baseline for the second time in a row, suppressing Gawain's swing space——
In fact, it is forcing Gao Wen to retreat. As long as he retreats, the swing space will be sufficient. But the problem is that if he retreats, he will become more and more passive. On the one hand, it is difficult to create hitting power three to five meters behind the baseline.
The effect I want, on the other hand, is that the range of movement is expanded, making it difficult to grab the hitting point immediately.
This truth is actually more intuitive when watching women's games.
Because female players lack strength, if their swing movements are insufficient, it will be difficult to hit back the ball that hits the baseline, but they are unwilling to retreat, especially now that offense is becoming more and more important.
So they will use the squatting posture to hit the ball, using the power of the center of gravity to sit down, and the whole body is like a shield to accumulate strength, and then directly push the tennis ball back without retreating or being able to swing the racket.
To retreat means to fall into passivity.
Gawain refused to retreat, and his swing was squeezed.
The incoming ball was a backspin ball. If it was hit directly back with the posture of hitting the wall, it would be a high probability event that it would hit the net. So Gao Wen reluctantly made a small lifting motion with his backhand with both hands, and then the tennis ball drew a full arc.
line, returning to Giron's backhand position along the 45-degree diagonal line.
Chance!
Giron immediately sensed an opportunity and turned from defense to offense. He immediately cut into the court and grabbed a rising point. He hit the tennis ball in a straight line with a short, flat and fast method, aiming to hit the small triangle on the bottom line and sideline.
boom!
One shot!
The active and passive positions were immediately reversed, and then Jiron stepped forward, not because he wanted to go to the net, but to shorten the offensive connection in the next shot. He needed to put enough pressure on Gao Wen, even if the previous ball had just been blocked.
Gawain traveled through time, and he is still very determined in surfing the Internet now.
Kick, kick, kick!
Geelong quickly approached the net, creating physical visual oppression. So, did Gao Wen see it?
Of course I saw it.
After Jiron finished hitting the ball, he stepped forward directly. Gawain saw it very clearly and his mind started working quickly.
what to do?
Tread. Tread.
With two big strides, Gawain was already on the defensive, but Giron, who was standing in front of the net, had already covered the main hitting route and deliberately left a diagonal gap, but it looked like it should be a trap.
Take a step!
Squat!
Go high!
In the blink of an eye, Gawain used his forehand to pull the tennis ball into a rainbow arc. His knees jumped up like springs, and his whole body also jumped up, making full use of his body's strength to complete the pull.
Then at the moment of release, the force on the wrist increased the friction.
Just rely on your own touch to complete this shot! It's as if you can feel the rotation of the tennis ball in detail with your fingertips! Every bit of it is magnified to the extreme.
bass!
The tennis ball rose high like this.
Jilong immediately adjusted his steps and then jumped high, trying to complete the high pressure in the frontcourt.
but!
Out of reach!
How can it be!
Jiron was shocked, he had completely jumped up, but Gawain's lofted ball had successfully passed over his head, and the situation was reversed again in an instant.
At the end of the day, the parabola drew a thrilling light, jumped over Jilong's racket, and continued to fly high.
At this time, the balance of the body's center of gravity was completely out of control, and Jilong had no choice but to turn his head and look toward the backcourt.
The whole audience held their breath, and all the bustling eyes were focused on it, and they followed the amazing arc to the ground, firmly entering the bottom line.
