My stomach was tense to the point of cramping, the food ingredients for lunch seemed to be tumbling, and I could taste the taste of leftovers in my throat, but it was not pleasant at all.
Nervous, exciting, uneasy, anxious, on the verge of explosion.
Pu Lan thought she could watch this game with a normal mind. It would be good for both sides to win. Anyway, she had no burden and could watch the game with peace of mind.
However, this is not the case. As the game progresses little by little, the balance in his heart has tilted in one direction. Every time he scores, he can't help but cheer and celebrate. Every time he faces a dilemma, he can't help but cheer.
Clench your fists, and your heart is beating so fast that it can no longer bear it.
By the time she realized what she was doing, she was completely standing behind that man, cheering for him, supporting him, praying for him, and making him bloom.
Now, the opportunity came, the opportunity to break serve, and it happened twice in a row.
Pu Lan didn't dare to look.
She always wondered whether she should hide in the bathroom so that Gawain's game could go more smoothly, but she couldn't bear to move her feet. Conflicting and turbulent confusion was tugging in her mind, and before she could make a decision,
The two players were ready to continue the battle.
In a panic, Pu Lan closed his eyes, held his breath, kept quiet, and listened quietly to the sound of hitting the ball from the TV——
Bang! Tsonga, serve!
Bang! Gawain, receive the serve!
Bang! Tsonga, return the ball!
Then……
Wow!
The whole audience cheered, the heat wave rolled in, and so on, and then what?
Poulan's heart was high and he opened his eyes in a panic. You could see on the TV screen that Tsonga clenched his fists and looked resolutely at the audience, bathed in the overwhelming cheers and roars of the audience.
, the layers of dark clouds covering the Philippe Chartier Stadium added a majestic momentum——
Tsonga looks like Peaky Blinders.
"30:40".
The score numbers are the most intuitive, proving that Tsonga easily saved a break point.
what happened?
Pullan's heart froze in place, and the broadcasters knew they couldn't miss such a wonderful point, so they replayed it in slow motion.
Area 1, outer corner.
After continuously suppressing Gawain's backhand, Tsonga suppressed Gawain's forehand again, and this time the quality of the serve was good, directly pulling Gawain out of the singles sideline.
However, Gawain maintained a high degree of concentration and the speed of his conditioned reflex was very timely. He leaped out with one pedal and was already in place with one big stride.
However, on the other side of the court, Tsonga chose...
Serve to the net.
At the critical moment, Tsonga chose the most classic and traditional tactic of serving and netting, turning all his talents into a sense of oppression.
Tsonga is tall and strong. Once on the net, the pressure is indeed not trivial, which also creates more difficulties for Gawain's return of serve.
For the side receiving the serve, they are already in a passive position. They need to adjust their hitting techniques in a hurry and worry about the pressure in front of the net, which is often prone to dishonest shots and even mistakes.
Especially in the era when the bottom line is king, the suddenness of serving and hitting the net can achieve more unexpected effects and fully realize the power of the serve.
Tsonga is particularly good at this.
In the flash of lightning, Gao Wen still made a bold and outstanding choice. He made a quick and pulling forehand, tearing a big diagonal, trying to break the net from Tsonga's forehand and find a route.
A landing point to reverse the dilemma.
However, Tsonga took a big step, stretched his whole body to the extreme, and just tapped everything with his racket head to launch a perfect little ball.
This time, Gawain did not continue the chase because it was too late.
Tsonga once again showed a delicate touch with the ball in front of the net. The offloading, rotation, control, etc. were all perfect, leaving no chance for Gawain.
Obviously, at the critical moment, Tsonga was also aware of the subtle changes in the situation, so he also improved his state. The small universe that was almost empty of energy actually burned again. With full concentration, from serving to moving to hitting, the entire quality increased by one
Level up and take control of the situation.
Although the quality of batting is not comparable to that of the first and second sets, it has made a strong recovery compared to the third and fourth sets.
Tsonga has come up with his trump card.
It is precisely because of this that the first two hits are very solid and crisp, while the third hit is very soft and light.
Then--
The whole place was boiling.
Tsonga once again completed a Tsonga-style score, easily setting the Philippe-Chatier Stadium on fire. Coupled with the scene of dark clouds looming over the village, it really felt like standing at the end of the world and having a wanton carnival.
The overwhelming pressure also makes people's blood boil.
call.
Pulan let out a breath and kept comforting himself and cheering. There is still one break point and another break point. For the next point, just step by step from receiving the serve. It doesn't matter. Now Gao Wen still has the opportunity.
, the trend of this game is still unpredictable.
His attention was so concentrated that Pulan stopped just before he was about to escape to the bathroom, and couldn't help but take one more look.
Tsonga, serve.
Zone two, one shot.
outer corner.
In the previous point, Tsonga had already adjusted his serving tactics. Instead of suppressing Gawain's backhand, he returned to his forehand and served to the net.
In the next point, Tsonga continued to adjust and fully demonstrated his advantage in serving. Choosing the outside corner to suppress the backhand was not the purpose, but an assist, just to disrupt Gawain's prediction. The real serving strategy is-
Reduce force.
Tsonga did not choose to hit the ball hard on the first serve, but chose to reduce the force, reducing the speed to 180 kilometers per hour; moreover, the angle was not completely separated.
The landing point is indeed on Gawain's backhand position, but it does not pursue the ultimate angle, that is, it is a little outside the close service area, that's all.
The entire tactical intention is very clear, which is to break the rhythm of the confrontation by reducing the force of the serve and destroy Gao Wen's tactical layout in the receiving and serving process.
Gawain was indeed calculated——
Move, lead, turn.
The entire reaction was done in one go. He was already ready to hit the ball, but found that Tsonga's serve had not arrived yet.
Of course, this description is a bit exaggerated. When actually hitting the ball, it is a slight difference of one millisecond or two milliseconds, which is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye; but a misalignment of timing will indeed affect the judgment of the hitting point and timing.
The impact can be seen by professionals.
In Gao Wen's games, we can often see this kind of serving strategy of winning by cleverness, and now, Tsonga uses Gao Wen's strategy to deal with Gao Wen.
Gawain:???
In fact, Gawain's steps were in place and his swing was ready, but the tennis ball was just a little slow; moreover, the rebound height of the landing was also lower than expected. The ball should have been completed from the chest to the waist, but the tennis ball was
There is almost no bounce, forcing Gao Wen to try to hit the ball from the knee to the thigh area, which also means that the entire body center of gravity is not right.
The hitting point, body center of gravity, and timing of hitting the ball are all wrong.
