The fingertips are slightly damp, with a shallow but hot layer of sweat permeating them. You can feel the dampness coming from the palms of your hands if you clench your fists slightly.
But Pulan didn't have time to take care of this matter now. He just clenched his fists, clenched his fists again, and prayed silently for Gawain with all his strength.
In fact, Pu Lan wanted to run away, and every cell in his body was screaming "run away, run away, run away", but his steps were firmly fixed in place and unable to move.
Then she wanted to close her eyes again. It seemed that she no longer had the courage to continue watching. Every minute was torture, but she forced herself to open her eyes——
Gawain is still fighting, isn't he?
If Gawain's battle continues, she should fight together. Gawain has experienced eight match point tests before, and the ninth time is the same. Even if her heart bursts, she must stand unswervingly behind Gawain.
They fight together.
Pu Lan forced herself to stare at the TV screen, staring intently and holding her breath.
She believed that Wawrinka should also be nervous. After all, after three consecutive match points, there was only one left.
Fans who are familiar with tennis should know that when faced with three consecutive break points or three consecutive game points, the first two points are relatively easy, but the difficulty of the third point is directly increased tenfold or hundreds of times, regardless of the pressure.
Regardless of the situation, everything becomes more subtle.
Now, this is even more true. For Wawrinka and Gawain, this third match point is the most important and dangerous critical moment.
There is no room for error.
Just imagining it makes my heart tremble uncontrollably.
Wawrinka, serve——
Zone two, one shot.
boom!
With a speed of 193 kilometers per hour, Wawrinka picked up the speed and gave it a try on the first serve.
Obviously, Wawrinka also realized the weight of this point. At this moment, he showed his courage and courage, boldly chose to hit the serve flatly, not only speeded up, but also landed tricky, and launched an all-out attack——
Moreover, it has entered the zone.
boom!
Close.
At the most critical moment, Wawrinka chose the relatively infrequent close-pressure serve today, rather than relying on the serve to directly resolve the battle——
After all, Wawrinka's last serve won the game, and Wawrinka tried to hit the target with his serve, but ended up sending his own serve out with a double fault.
Wawrinka refused to make the same mistake again and showed strong confidence in his offense.
Serve...it worked!
The ball was served quickly and urgently, and it hit Gawain's body with great force. Although there was no rotation, the powerful tail force was released to the ground.
Gawain couldn't completely let go of his steps, so he reluctantly relied on his backhand to push in front of his body. The backward movement of his upper body helped his arms complete the small-scale push, but everything happened too fast.
After a brief contact, the tennis ball was knocked out by the reaction force.
Whoosh!
The tennis ball raised a high arc and flew towards the deep area of the middle area of Wawrinka's left half. It was about one and a half steps away from the midpoint of the baseline of the court. This was a bad landing point. Wawrinka could directly attack.
.
Gawain was highly focused, his muscles all over his body were tense, and he was gently tiptoeing.
In fact, Gawain has very little physical strength now, and his steps have long lost their lightness and agility. It is also very, very difficult to maintain a flexible center of gravity. But at this moment, his mind is clear, and he unexpectedly generates a trace of energy to continue to keep his pace.
mobility——
Straight line? Diagonal line?
Gao Wen's eyes were firmly fixed on Wawrinka. This was not the first time in this match. Wawrinka relied on his serve to establish an advantage and then launched a stormy attack, completing the score with an incredible offensive touch.
But Gawain knows one thing better:
He is tired, and so is Wawrinka, especially Wawrinka who maintains active attack and consumes more. The quality of his current attack is definitely not comparable to that of the first two sets; and his defensive prediction has adapted to the intensity of the rhythm, so he is still
Have the opportunity.
——Sideways forehand slash!
Gawain, caught it.
As soon as his pupils shrank, his footsteps moved quickly to his left side.
really!
Wawrinka turned sideways to make room, hit a diagonal attack comparable to lightning with his forehand, and rushed toward Gawain's backhand.
Kick off! The knees are slightly weak, the strength of the left leg to support the kick is somewhat insufficient, and it even slips slightly on the red clay.
Damn it!
Turn! Even though I can no longer keep my steps, my swing and turn movements are still very determined, and I rely on my own strength to complete the hit.
Grit your teeth!
Swing the racket, hit the ball, and attack with all your strength. The remaining energy is burned without any reservation. Burn it freely and wantonly. Just focus on the point in front of you and maximize it.
Ah! Ahhh!
Backhand slash, power against power, violence against violence, Gawain's whole body was thrown directly, and he hit the ball quickly with a backhand with both hands.
boom!
The tennis ball, like a spark hitting the earth, quickly fell across the court towards Wawrinka's left sideline, and its mighty tail was enough to light up the world.
Wawrinka's steps were obviously squeezed, but he still refused to retreat and faced Gawain's two-handed backhand with a one-handed backhand.
ah!
Wawrinka also exerted his strength, stretched and smooth, free and violent, his whole chest was completely opened, and he hit back with a one-handed backhand.
Sweat, dust, and energy exploded together with the broken hairs of the tennis balls under the sun, seeming to detonate a mushroom cloud.
Whoosh.
——slash.
Wawrinka uses quick control to compress the rhythm and time of the round as much as possible. He directly hits the backhand diagonal back and repeats the continuous pressure of the line.
Wawrinka's idea is undoubtedly correct, using rhythm to create pressure; but it still fails to take into account the overall situation. At this time, Gawain's mobility is reduced, and his shots while moving are often inaccurate, while Wawrinka's repeated shots are on target.
Instead, the ball fell into the tiger's mouth, giving Gawain some breathing space.
On the surface, Wawrinka's backhand slash is violent and chic enough to launch a full-scale attack; however, such an offensive shot is an opportunity for Gawain to counterattack.
Gawain, how could you miss it!
But they saw that Gawain did not retreat. Not only did he not, but he also stepped forward. His body was protesting, his brain was protesting, and even the fatigue and pain deep in his soul were protesting. However, Gawain did not waver at all, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Flash, completely detonate the small universe, and kill decisively and directly.
Grab the rising point!
The entire audience exclaimed, and the silent exclamation stirred up a billowing wave of air that swept across the entire audience.
Including Wawrinka, "Oops!"
Wawrinka started immediately, sprinting towards the entire space on the court to his right, kicking the ground so fast that he was almost invisible, and there was only a strong wind crossing the entire court.
Wawrinka fought hard and burned the small universe, because he knew that if he didn't fight hard at this time, maybe this game would leave regrets that he would never be able to forgive himself for——
"Backhand straight line".
Gawain's famous stunt, the long sword was unsheathed, and at this moment, it cut through the dark clouds above the Philippe Chartier Stadium, and a ray of skylight fell down.
