Puy's backhand slash was aimed at Gawain's backhand gap. As a result, Gawain accurately predicted it, and his lightning-fast footsteps appeared on the line in time.
Gawain had enough time to draw the racket, swing the racket, exert force, and switch from defense to offense. This seemed like an opportunity to reverse the situation——
One kick.
One wave.
Judging from the action of initiating the racket, this is indeed the case. Gawain was ready to use force, but before anyone had time to react, the entire swing of the racket had already rushed out.
Mention.
A flick.
Gawain's backhand hitting action with both hands makes a large looping action similar to a golf shot, which extends the contact time between the racket surface and the tennis ball to the extreme. You can even clearly feel the strong friction in the continuous collision.
Finally, rub the tennis ball up and lift it up high.
Um?
what happened?
Strong topspin and shallow landing point. It can be seen from the parabola that Gao Wen pulled a high ball. Not only did he not attack, but he also slowed down the rhythm.
What shot selection is this?
Backhand with both hands, draw an arc, go around the neck, and land on the top of the head at a 45-degree angle along the diagonally upward line, raising the friction to the extreme.
slash!
The tennis returned to Pouille's backhand position.
At this time, you can see that Puy is young and full of energy. He jumps high into the air, and pulls up the backhand with both hands early.
The posture is full, just like bending a bow to shoot a vulture.
Puy did not choose to step up to grab the rising point, but took off after a run-up. In this way, he found the hitting point and attacked from top to bottom.
Perhaps Pui's two-handed backhand is not capable of actively exerting force, but this shot uses the superposition of gravity and body weight to instantly burst out of power.
"ah!"
Pui also burst out with sound.
straight line!
Dead spot!
Pui attacked with all his strength. Although he didn't understand the reason why Gawain chose to hit the ball high, Pui still followed his own style and directly struck with a heavy hammer.
But……
etc!
Pui devoted his entire body to the attack, reaching the ultimate strength and speed. However, before he even landed, he already saw Gawain.
Running at full speed.
Lateral sprint.
Once again, Gawain accurately predicted Pui's batting line - a gap, which was obviously still a gap. Although Pui did not understand and had no time to think deeply about the reason why Gawain appeared on his batting line, his head was full of question marks.
, but for Gawain, prediction is not difficult and his concentration is completely concentrated.
Kick the ground!
Dash!
Then, following the direction of the forward movement of the body, without braking, the forehand pulled out a large loop for the second time in a row——
Puy's return ball was pushed down strongly in order to suppress all the topspin of Gauvin's return ball just now, so this is a signature high-pressure backspin ball.
In response, Gawain once again used super topspin to lift up the tennis ball that was rushing forward from the ground. In a roundabout motion, he could feel the strong friction colliding between the racket strings, and he seemed to be able to smell the smoke of sparks, and then
The tennis ball spun at high speed and turned into a mustard-yellow mist.
change!
Strong rotation!
Comparable to a shooting star.
However, no one put their hands together to make a wish at this time. All the eyes of the audience were focused on the tennis ball, which quickly fell across the field.
Pui was shocked.
Because in the previous shot, Puy did a trick, taking off to hit the ball. Naturally, after landing, his reaction speed to adjust his center of gravity and footsteps was a bit slow. When waiting to start the lateral sprint, he seemed a little panicked, running wildly and bumping along the way.
The lungs burned like bellows.
The only good thing is that Gao Wen pulled out strong topspin and the ball speed was not very fast; moreover, Gao Wen was also obviously suppressed by the power and speed of Puy's hitting. After the parabola was pulled up, the landing point was not controlled, and the ball speed was not very fast.
It means landing smoothly at a position deeper than the bottom line of the teeing area.
This also gives Puy enough time to move, and defense is not impossible.
run.
run.
Run with your head down.
"ah!"
When Puy arrived, all the strong topspin had been released, and the hitting point rose to the top of his head. But this time Puy had no time and space to take off, so he could only complete the ball diagonally above his shoulder.
My forehand clearly felt the pressure of the rotation, and I rolled it up awkwardly.
Unfortunately, Puy's tape obviously didn't spin enough, and it didn't have the wrapping power of Djokovic.
Generally speaking, Puy's hitting is still mainly flat hitting and backspin, which is why he prefers hard courts. When it is time to pull up the topspin, Puy's hitting technique seems too much.
It is monotonous, does not fully demonstrate the "clay clay gene", and the return effect is unsatisfactory.
slash!
Although Gawain's straight backhand area was open at this time, Puy had no space to hit the ball, and it was impossible to change the line, so he could only choose to defend passively.
Shallow area!
Moreover, the awkwardness of the hitting point exposed the monotony of Puy's hitting technique. He was unable to control the parabola of the return ball and the landing point was shallow.
Gawain, did not miss the opportunity——
In the previous shot, Gawain's forehand was strongly topspinned. He did not apply an emergency brake to control his steps. Instead, he followed the inertia of the forward motion. After easing the force of the sprint, he continued to adjust in small steps, because he had set a trap.
So he doesn't need to go back to defense, he can just wait in the forehand position.
In the latter shot, the footsteps that had just finished adjusting had already entered the baseline. Although the soles of the feet were still slipping slightly, it did not have much impact. He took the initiative to move forward and rushed towards the tennis ball. The footsteps that had been staying outside the baseline suddenly stopped the entire round.
The speed and rhythm of the ball increase.
The original model was that Puy was responsible for speeding up and Gawain was responsible for slowing down, but now, Puy had to slow down, while Gawain seized the opportunity to speed up.
Forehand, lead shot.
Following the inertia of the forward movement, the body presses forward, the strength and weight are doubled, the forehand strikes quickly, the forearm is like a whip, and the head-on collision occurs.
boom!
work hard!
Flat hit!
Speed up!
The tennis ball turned into a light and shadow.
slash!
Gao Wen chose to repeat the landing point, and did not attack Pui's relatively weak backhand position, but instead, his body followed the hitting action to the net——
Follow the ball to the net and apply pressure from the frontcourt.
The tennis ball pulled out a turbulent wave and rushed towards Puy in a mighty manner.
Pui, there is no timidity at all.
He has already controlled his body as soon as he brakes his footsteps. At this time, he can still see the advantage of growing up on clay since he was a child. His foot control is obviously better than that of Gao Wen.
He accurately appeared on the return line, led the shot with his forehand, and took advantage of the trend.
"ah!"
A roar erupted from the depths of Puyi's Dantian, and he was about to force the ball, but...
but!
An accident happened at this moment.
Gao Wen's hitting was fast, heavy, deep and flat. After hitting the ball in the shallow area with super topspin for two consecutive shots, he suddenly accelerated and pushed deeper, and the quality of the entire return changed.
Puy was not mentally prepared and forced a head-on collision; at the same time, he also felt Gawain's cover in front of the net, the hitting space was further compressed, and the pressure was rising, and then——
boom!
The swing speed could not keep up with the speed of the ball. The racket was still at the waist, and before I could push it forward, I could already feel the impact of the tennis ball.
As a result, the tennis ball flew directly towards the audience stands.
