Bang! Venus hit the ball with all her strength with her forehand, but it went straight to the net because she was too hasty.
Bang! Gao Wen's backhand went straight to catch the gap in the court and score directly.
Phew! Venus's steps were not in place and she lost control when she touched the ball with her backhand and returned the ball out of bounds.
Boom! Gao Wen went to the net in time to follow up and completed the high pressure in front of the net to score another point.
"...Game, high!"
"2:0, third set, high lead."
Along with the referee's score announcement, Venus' serve was broken again, and she fell behind at the beginning of the third set.
After Gawain calmed down and regained his focus and patience, the game situation took a 180-degree turn:
From rotation to line, from rhythm to layout, Gao Wen takes full control of the initiative.
Gao Wen has encountered many players like Venus during his NCAA days, and he can deal with them easily.
Their rhythm and style are relatively single and lack changes, so the key to the game is change and control, which requires continuous disruption of the rhythm.
Once you enter their mode and get up to speed, you are likely to "fight like crazy" and fight no matter how hard you fight, then the game will be very tricky.
In order to avoid such a situation, the use of the "interruption" skill is crucial, interpreting the game at all times and making the opponent feel as uncomfortable as possible.
Speed, power, rotation, line, and landing point. As Gawain gradually matures, his control over the entire rhythm and changes has reached a new level:
If the opponent can continue to put pressure on Gawain, then Gawain's game and layout will definitely hit the wall, and the game situation will continue to flow; but unfortunately, Venus failed to do this, so Gawain's game
It becomes smoother and smoother, which is really pleasing to the eye.
From being behind at "0:3" at the beginning to leading at "6:3", "6:0", and "2:0", Gao Wen was victorious all the way. In just seventy-three minutes, he had already won fourteen games in a row.
, rushing towards the finish line with a sweeping attitude, and the whole game presented a completely one-sided situation.
According to technical statistics:
The entire second set lasted a total of twenty-seven minutes, and Venus only scored seven points, five points from his serve and two points from Gawain's serve.
Throw away your armor.
The army was defeated.
What is a sweep?
This is called a sweep.
Gawain used a real game to teach everyone a vivid lesson.
Zhang Ze:......
stunned.
Jaw-dropping.
Although they had all anticipated the outcome, it would be difficult for Venus and Statham to open up the situation in front of Gawain, but no one expected such a situation.
In front of them, they couldn't see any swords or swords, but literally, they were witnessing a murder scene filled with blood. It was really too brutal.
With such a picture, are you sure children under the age of twelve can watch it?
Is this really good?
Zhang Ze was already speechless with sighs, while Wu Di was amazed. He slowly approached Zhang Ze and took advantage of the short time the two players had to wipe their sweat. He applauded and sighed in a low voice.
"I told you already, Gawain is a deadly weapon."
"It seems that after losing three games in a row at the beginning, he awakened the sleeping dragon, activated the deadly weapon, and then went on a killing spree."
"I'm a little curious about how Michael Venus is feeling now. I should interview him to see the extent of his psychological trauma. I wonder if he regrets opening the game too aggressively."
"To be honest, I have now transcended the barrier of victory and defeat and started to mourn Venus."
Seeing Wu Di shaking his head, with a look of pity and unbearable sadness on his face, Zhang Ze thought for a moment, and then quietly replied.
"You said this about Gawain, does Gawain know?"
Wu Di: Frozen into ice in one second.
Zhang Ze also ignored Wu Di, stared at the court, and continued to applaud.
The fourth game of the third set.
It was Venus' serve again, and he finally secured serve with an ACE from the outside corner.
The whole place is boiling!
finally!
After losing fifteen games in a row, Venus finally won one again.
After the first two service games, Venus finally held serve again.
finally!
Venus didn't even have the energy to celebrate, she just clenched her right fist, looked at the audience, and smiled wantonly——
He also used practical actions to interpret the competitive spirit of refusing to compromise, give up, and surrender, and personally proved the life spirit of "the veteran never dies, the dream never dies."
not easy.
It's really not easy.
The whole audience burst into applause.
The home audience finally found their long-lost enthusiasm and applauded Venus one after another. Cheers and whistles came and went. Even Li Zhe and Zhang Ze stood up and applauded. It was not only an encouragement, but also a kind of encouragement.
respect.
However.
The cruelest thing about competitive sports is that sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you still can't change the result.
In the final stage of the game, Gao Wen once again won three consecutive games, and finally used a forehand diagonal to break through Venus on the net to form the winning point, win the match point, and pocket the victory.
The score of the whole game was finally fixed at:
"6:3", "6:0", "6:1".
It took one hour and forty-one minutes.
The match, which was a best-of-five set, ended in about one hundred minutes. From this data, we can already interpret a lot.
After the game, Gawain also gave Venus a big hug.
Venus did not appear too frustrated. It was not surprising that she lost the game, but it was a pity that she could not hold on longer.
Sideline.
The doubles players from China and New Zealand have finished their warm-up and returned to the court, ready to go on stage.
Zhang Ze and Li Zhe, in order to warm up, did not see the final stage of the game. They only saw one point at the match point. Everything ended too quickly.
In sharp contrast to the stalemate in the previous game, this game progressed and ended so neatly that the warm-up time was compressed.
Li Zhe glanced at Gao Wen, and a smile couldn't help but creep up to the corner of his mouth.
"Look at Gawain."
I feel refreshed, my face is relaxed, and I hardly sweat at all. The intensity of the training field is usually more intense, and I can complete the competition task in three times, five times and two times.
Quietly, Li Zhe's high morale was also ignited.
"It seems that we also need to refuel."
Zhang Zhe glanced at Li Zhe more than once.
Over the past year, Li Zhe has fallen into a bottleneck.
On the one hand, as he gets older, Li Zhe is getting further and further away from his singles dream. In recent years, he has appeared more in doubles competitions.
Just like Venus.
On the other hand, Li Zhe always refused to give up. He still didn't want to retire and still hoped to stand on the court and fight, but he often couldn't see the hope. The sweat and hard work he put in always failed to see growth and progress. Instead, he was deeply moved.
I felt powerless and lost the game.
Especially the birth of Gawain. Although Li Zhe was really happy, he also further felt the impact of the new generation——
After all, Gao Wen was born in 1995, a full nine years younger than Li Zhe.
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the waves in front die on the beach. This sense of crisis is quietly changing the mentality of the game.
However, he did not expect that after the Davis Cup brought them into close contact, Li Zhe ignited his fighting spirit and seemed to have regained the vitality of a young man.
