In the blink of an eye, Gawain made an internally conflicting shot choice, as if the left and right were fighting each other——
A step forward, through the forward movement of the feet, increases the hitting rhythm, which is obviously preparing to grab the hitting point.
There was a pause, a pause for a two-handed backhand, but instead of seizing the time to make a quick move, it was lagging behind and waiting.
Upper body and upper body, make two contradictory choices.
On the opposite side of the court, Puy was obviously confused. He subconsciously moved his steps laterally to the right, but just as he took a step, he paused again.
Puy was unable to make an accurate judgment on how Gawain planned to hit the ball, diagonally, straightly, or something else?
A millisecond, not even a blink of an eye, passed by in a blink of an eye. Pui's hesitation in his steps and reaction had already stepped into Gawain's trap.
So, what is Gawain planning?
In fact, this tactic is often used by Gao Wen on hard courts. Simply put, it means delaying the shot, especially on the backhand, because the stability of the two-handed backhand is more reliable, even if the hitting point is slightly further back, relying on the openness
Even with this stance, you can still complete your shot selection.
The purpose of delaying the shot is to confuse the audience and wait for the opponent to make a movement choice before taking action to hit the gap. Without taking too many risks, you can easily score through the gap with misaligned lines.
However, on hard courts, because the ball speed is relatively fast, you often need to use it when you have established a clear advantage. Otherwise, if you delay the release, you may miss the hitting point, causing the swing speed to be unable to keep up, and the swing movement will not be able to close the door in time.
, which then caused it to fly away directly.
Clay soil is different. After the ball speed slows down, more time is given for adjustment and calculation. At the same time, Gao Wen uses the step up to gain time and further gain more swing space for his delayed shot. Therefore, all of this is
It was a premeditated plan to make a fuss about the characteristics of red soil.
One step.
One kick.
As he stepped forward, Gawain was observing Pui's movement out of the corner of his eye.
In the line of sight, one can catch a figure that starts up quickly but then stops briefly. Judging from the swinging center of gravity, it seems that a decision has not been made.
Although Puy was not sure which line he should block; Gauvin could not hesitate. The result of any hesitation would be to miss the hitting point.
Especially since Gao Wen's shot is delayed, the hitting point is even more important.
tread!
With your feet firmly on the ground, you can clearly feel the texture of the layers of soil spreading on the soles of your feet. The entire rotation and swing movements are also more integrated and smooth, with a continuous and flexible texture, which is natural and powerful.
Some adjustments need to be made.
Welcome forward!
Wave your arms!
Speed up!
At the moment of turning, the wrist makes an obvious speed-up movement, and the backhand with both hands increases the speed of the racket head.
In the fleeting time, there was first an invisible brief stagnation, and then the speed doubled, and the entire shooting speed rose to a higher level.
"ah!"
Explodes instantly.
Instant release.
The racket rushed forward instantly like a whip, releasing an explosive energy. In a short period of time, the tennis ball was compressed to the extreme.
rebound.
freed.
impact.
Comparable to missiles.
boom!
At this time, it can be seen that Gao Wen's habit of hitting hard balls is still very obvious. The entire flat ball is completely released, and the speed and power directly explode.
straight line.
Dead corner.
The tennis ball turned into a stream of light, directly breaking the balance with unparalleled speed and power, speeding up instantly, and got into the blind corner of the bottom line of Puy's forehand.
boom.
It made a deep mark on the earth, leaving a pool of red soil that spun and exploded, and then the tennis ball disappeared.
Everyone, hold your breath.
Next second!
"Ahhh!"
Raise your arms and shout.
Standing ovation.
The whole place thundered.
Wonderful, wonderful! Wonderful!
Even if I saw it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe my eyes.
In fact, this round is very short, from serving to scoring, there are only four shots in total.
The game between Pui and Gawain was in a close match. Originally, Gawain used strong rotation to limit Pui's power, but Pui tried to use force to break the game. As a result, Gawain suddenly attacked without warning, not only using his strength to fight
, and break the balance of the confrontation by delaying the attack.
Power, speed, line.
Suppress Pui from all directions.
A fatal blow.
A sword seals the throat.
Then--
Successful break!
Puy's lead only lasted two games, and then he suffered a break, and the two sides returned to the same starting line——
Gao Wen once again showed the strength and dominance of the new generation leader. Even on clay, he was still calm when facing young players of the same age group.
Wonderful!
Although I have heard about it countless times, and even though I have watched a lot of live broadcasts or replays of the game, but actually seeing Gao Wen get out of trouble and turn the situation around in a short period of time at the scene, his temperament in the game is really admirable, and the audience at the scene can no longer remember it.
Unable to control their emotions, the whole audience cheered.
The charm of competitive sports is fully demonstrated at this moment.
On the left side of the court, Puy slumped his shoulders and looked up at the sky. He did not expect that the game was still going smoothly, so why was his serve suddenly broken?
On the right side of the court, Gao Wen finished his swing, jumped up slightly, glanced at the landing point of the return ball, and then turned around and returned to the baseline.
Just...that's it?
There were no cheers, no fist pumps, no celebrations, nothing at all. His face looked calm and relaxed, as if everything was normal.
One is confused, the other is strolling around, the sharp contrast between one left and one right, and the thunderous heat wave in the audience has also become the background, further highlighting the emotional gap between the two players, from strength to mentality to game temperament.
It gradually became clear before my eyes, which was amazing.
Exclaims and appreciations surged, and one or two people whispered to each other, eager to share their thoughts.
"As expected of a Grand Slam champion, this heart, magnanimity and confidence are indeed different."
In his sight, Gawain's back as he walked towards the bottom line seemed to become upright.
In fact, the truth is that Gao Wen is thinking at this moment that his batting feel still needs to be adjusted.
Because of the rotation, and also because of the weight——
Every time the tennis ball hits the ground and bounces, it will more or less stick to some sand, changing the weight, and the touch of the shot will change. Although it is not obvious, it exists objectively, especially when the humidity increases, the weight of the ball in each round will change.
Everything may change, which means adjustments are needed.
For the ball just now, the force of the shot should be slightly reduced. The final return ball just hits the line. If you use a little more force, it may go out of bounds.
really!
There are still many things that need to be adapted to and adjusted on red clay.
This is just the first official singles match; moreover, it is only the beginning, everything is in a testing state, the batting is more or less a matter of luck, and the tactics are still being arranged and combined, so it is not worthy of cheering and celebration.
It's normal to encounter a break.
Reverse breakage is also normal.
No need to make a fuss.
If you have personally experienced the majesty of the "King of Red Soil", then you will be able to understand Gawain's calmness at this time——
