Here, Dimitrov jumped, took off on the spot, and dunked hard.
On the other side, Bob stepped sideways, staggered, and reached out to stop him.
boom!
Head-on collision.
Miso miso miso.
Between the electric light and flint, just one contact, but you can clearly feel the violent vibration of the tennis ball quickly brushing the racket string, the strong collision of power and strength, and all the power is concentrated on the tennis ball.
The next second, the tennis ball jumped into the sky, like a flying monkey shooting a cannon into the sky.
Bob staggered for a while. His position had entered the second half of the court, close to the baseline. The quality of Dimitrov's smash was very good. Although the landing point was not tricky, he still controlled it in the second half.
This forced Bob to retreat continuously. After finishing the shot, his body continued to retreat.
Tap tap tap.
Bob quickly adjusted his center of gravity because he knew that Mike had not fully returned to his position; and his high return ball gave Gawain the opportunity to take the initiative to attack——
Gawain would never let go of such an opportunity.
Tap tap tap.
Bob is adjusting his steps, and Mike is adjusting his steps too.
The Bryan brothers were a little embarrassed, but still calmly regained their defensive position. Mike was rushing forward, trying to regain the advantage in front of the net; Bob was adjusting in the backcourt to cover the defense left by the two men losing their positions.
loopholes.
What about tennis?
Still flying in the air.
It can be seen at this time that Dimitrov's smash was indeed powerful, so much so that Bob's interception pulled out a full parabola, penetrated into the sky, and passed Dimitrov's position high, successfully.
Over the top, and like a full moon scimitar, it quickly falls towards the bottom line.
While waiting for the tennis ball to hit the bottom line, the Bryan brothers had already regained their focus and entered into the next step of strategic deployment, fully prepared.
Of course, Gawain is also ready to attack. The key point is, how will Gawain choose the offensive route?
Tennis balls bounce high and jump from the baseline. Even if Gao Wen chooses to use high pressure from the baseline, there is no problem. This is an opportunity to take the initiative to attack.
Bob clearly understood this, so when his center of gravity was unbalanced, he did not rush to the net, but instead covered the gap left by their loss of position.
All the eyes of the audience were focused on Gawain.
OK.
Continuous small steps.
Gao Wen stood on the baseline, adjusting his steps very carefully and with great concentration. At the same time, he quickly looked at the position of the Bryan brothers on the court from the corner of his eyes.
Then--
The forehand lead to the shot, raised high, like a heavy artillery attack. In an instant, the three players on the court were moving quickly, guessing Gawain's hitting line.
The moment he released his shot, he saw Gawain changing his grip.
everything.
One package.
Lift it high and put it down gently.
Chi.
From the sound of hitting the ball, you can clearly feel the lightness and dexterity of the entire hitting technique, all the power is removed, and an erratic curve is cut from the side.
small ball?
This! It’s actually a small ball!
Mike, panicked.
Bob was shocked.
Both Bryan brothers did not expect Gawain's handling of the ball——
Red clay!
Obviously, the entire tactical thinking of the Bryan brothers is still a typical hard court model. Their understanding and reading of clay are as rigid as a textbook, lacking room for flexibility. At this time, they were caught off guard by Gawain's typical clay handling method.
, the situation reversed again.
An understatement.
Have it at your fingertips.
In the ever-changing competition, Gawain's boldness and calmness once again played an important role, taking the initiative to break the balance and successfully seize the initiative.
Tap tap tap.
Mike is running.
Bob is running.
Meanwhile, Dimitrov is also moving laterally.
Although Dimitrov did not expect Gao Wen's shot choice, when he saw Gao Wen release a small ball, he immediately stepped forward to press against the net and moved towards the position where the ball landed, close to
Distance blocks potential return routes.
The situation is changing.
Bob, immersed himself in sprinting, returned to the net from the baseline, and his second reaction was very fast.
Objectively speaking, the quality of Gao Wen's ball in front of the net this time was average, and the line and unloading force control were not in place. The ball landed close to the bottom line of the service area, and it still had a certain rebound height after landing. This also meant that Bao Bao was given
Give the defense a chance to save the ball.
However, a wall appeared in his line of sight. Dimitrov tightly blocked the return line, and the entire field of vision quickly compressed, which confused Bob's rapidly rotating mind.
what to do?
The steps were barely in place, but Bob was obviously not good at sliding on clay. At the last moment, he still used hard-court steps to forcefully sprint. From steps to shooting to thinking, he slowed down a little in all directions, a little, then a little, and a little more, and then hit the ball.
The opportunity for the ball just passed by before my eyes.
Pah. Pah pah.
Tennis, two jumps.
Bob just watched the tennis ball bouncing in front of him. He obviously had time to complete the shot and had the opportunity to complete the defense, but he missed them all.
Bob, look up at the sky.
Wow!
The whole place is surging!
There were exclamations, cheers, praises, discussions... the crowds surged so fast that the air was boiling with it, and whistles came and went.
Mike stood in front of the net and looked at Dimitrov helplessly, with his hands on his hips. Then he saw a smile blooming at the corner of Dimitrov's mouth, a little proud and a little showing off, but not annoying.
, rather than showing off, it is more like teasing and teasing between friends.
The smile on Mike's mouth also rose, and he deliberately grinned like a vicious dog coming out of its cage, but it only lasted for a second, and then the effect was broken.
Dimitrov jumped back all the way, taking a few big steps back, then turned to look at Gawain, stretched out his hands like a glider, and rushed towards Gawain. At the same time, Gawain also ran towards him knowingly.
Come over and complete a chest bump to celebrate——
The Bryan Brothers' signature celebration.
On the other side of the court, Bob looked at Gawain and Dimitrov who were pranking him. Not to be outdone, he greeted Mike and completed a chest bump to celebrate, and then beat his chest hard, imitating King Kong's roar and shaking his head.
But full of joy.
The whole audience burst into laughter.
The content of the competition is exciting; outside the competition, it is also full of fun.
but!
No matter what, the combination of Gao Wen and Dimitrov still seized the opportunity and took the lead in breaking serve——
"3:1".
Relying on the advantage of serving first, the Gaowen combination instantly widened the score gap.
At this time, it can be clearly felt that the Bryan brothers have indeed encountered some troubles. The first two service games of this game faced the test of break points.
Of course, it can also be seen that Gawain and Dimitrov are in good condition and fully prepared for this game.
For Gao Wen, compared to the advantage of leading the score, the scoring method and tactical layout of the last two points are the parts with real reference value:
Clay soil, from serving, to layout and game, to scoring, the entire system is very different from hard courts. Although this is still tennis, it is no exaggeration to say that these can be regarded as two similar but different sports.
