When Eric Robinson arrived at the stadium, the game "Gavin vs. Alcorta" was coming to an end.
In the game where he was serving to win the game, Gao Wen still firmly held the initiative.
The first point started with an inside corner ace.
Before serving, Gao Wen noticed Alcorta's position and moved slightly towards the outside corner of his forehand, so Gao Wen directly attacked an inside corner; the speed and power were not fast, the serve speed was only 173 kilometers per hour, but the landing point was very
Hit the t-point in the center accurately and standardly.
Alcorta's judgment was completely wrong. Standing in the outside corner was not a false shot, but a real defense against his own forehand.
Although this point is an ace ball, you can see it from here:
The game was coming to an end, and Alcorta had no accurate prediction of Gao Wen's serve, and Gao Wen was able to sneak an ace, which also meant that Gao Wen's serving tactical combination was still not figured out by his opponent.
Especially facing a player like Alcorta who plays with his head, this also means that Gao Wen's pre-game preparation and on-the-spot response were very good.
Alcorta, who had misjudged the situation, seemed very upset.
He stood there, looking down at the racket in his hand, fiddling with the innocent strings, and muttering:
"A liar is a big liar."
The game has come to an end, but Gao Wen's ever-changing tactics are always ahead of Alcorta, so that Alcorta still cannot find the context and direction. The whole game is in a state of confusion, and he has no idea about the line and the direction.
The rotation judgment is still wrong.
This feeling is really depressing, like...
"I'm not a top. I keep spinning."
Alcorta was very depressed, muttered a few more words, and then walked towards the other side of the court angrily.
In the second point, Gao Wen stole a shot from the outside corner of the second area - a two-handed backhand aimed at Alcorta.
Alcorta successfully completed the ball, but Gawain was waiting on the diagonal line of his opponent's backhand early. Sure enough, he blocked Alcorta's return ball, and then used Gawain's iconic two-handed backhand straight line to form the winning point.
A hit-the-wall score left Alcorta completely helpless.
Alcorta looked at Gawain's winning score, and then looked at his return line. Because he was so depressed, he couldn't help but raise his hands and point to the straight line in front of him:
"Straight line! You idiot! If you don't hit a straight line, why do you hit a diagonal line? The diagonal line will directly hit the opponent's backhand and hit the straight line, right? What on earth are you thinking?"
As he muttered, Alcorta felt a wave of grievances welling up in him.
This was the case throughout the game. In the game of calculation and counter-calculation, he was always one step behind Gawain, so that every time he carefully calculated the ball, he stepped into a trap. This feeling of being constrained made Alcorta
I have the thought that I am an "idiot", which makes me feel frustrated and sad.
What kind of competition is this?
Alcorta only felt that her eyes were slightly warm, and she quickly lowered her head and rubbed her eyes——
Sand, sand has just entered.
Robinson on the sidelines raised his chin slightly, and the admiration in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
It can be seen in just two minutes that Gawain knows what he is doing.
After young players enter the service-winning game, they are often prone to fluctuations. Why?
Because of the excitement and excitement, the brain is easily overheated, and the established tactics become chaotic. At the same time, the opponent is standing on the edge of the cliff fighting for his last fight. Such subtle changes in mentality can change the situation of the game.
But Gawain didn't.
From the start of the serve to the first three shots of the attack, Gao Wen thought thoroughly and carefully, and the entire tactical idea was very clear. He executed his tactics with a firm will and did not lose his mind at all because this was a game that was close to winning the game; so the game
The play was very simple, and Alcorta didn't get much room to "counterattack".
This is the correct way to open the game by serving to win the game.
If the first two points prove Gawain's ability to take the initiative and strike preemptively, then the third point shows Gawain's calculation ability to reverse the situation of the battle when he is in a passive situation. Even in extreme difficulties, both his mind and body are exhausted.
It still maintains high-speed operation.
In the third point, Gao Wen failed to score on the first serve and tried to sneak attack Alcorta's forehand on the second serve. As a result, Alcorta predicted it in advance and moved early. His forehand was fully opened and he hit the ball with full force.
Hit Gawain's weak second serve back with all his strength.
Heavy and deep.
Obviously, even though he was standing on the edge of the cliff, Alcorta still did not give up, and his high fighting spirit ensured the quality of his return ball.
Alcorta's return almost landed at Gawain's feet. There was no space or time for the return, and even the serving action was not fully returned. This also completely broke Gawain's attack plan and forced Gawain to
He reluctantly returned a rebound ball at his own feet——
Parabola, high and floating.
The situation of confrontation was reversed.
But Gawain still did not panic, showing a calm and calm attitude, watching his half-lob fly slowly and leisurely across the half court, always ready.
Bend your knees, take steps, swing.
Gawain realized the crisis. It was difficult to control the arc and rotation of the rebound shot. It was already very rare to enter the opponent's court. He really couldn't ask for more, so he quickly adjusted his center of gravity and stood in the middle of the field to maintain mobility.
, and then saw Alcorta entering the field.
Faced with the opportunity ball created by himself, Alcorta followed up quickly, adjusted his body in small steps, and was already in the first half.
Kick on the ground, shake, flash.
Gawain deliberately ducked toward his forehand position, pretending to be moving towards the forehand gap, but in fact he just made a feint and immediately sprinted horizontally to the left.
The fake move is to interfere with Alcorta's judgment and to deceive Alcorta's return.
There is no way. Alcorta has already entered the first half and is about to complete a full-scale attack on the half-court ball. If he waits until Alcorta takes the shot and then defends, it will be too late; Gao Wen must move in advance and can only block one side.
It's like gambling to choose one of the two.
In order to increase his chances of "guessing right", he must make some fake moves.
Then... I got fooled!
When Alcorta was charging forward, he had been observing Gawain's position out of the corner of his eyes, collecting data for his shot selection. He noticed Gawain's action of feinting a shot, and he had already made it in a flash.
Once the judgment is made, with the steps in place, the hitting action is completed.
"Don't make mistakes. Don't make mistakes. Don't make mistakes."
Alcorta was really scared of being plotted by Gawain. He was as frightened as facing a cunning fox, so he remained absolutely vigilant when he took the next step, constantly reminding himself not to make the same mistake in the same service game.
Make the mistake twice, otherwise, the clown will be himself.
So, amid the rapid changes, Alcorta completed his observation and judgment, and then, resolutely and decisively struck directly——
Hit a backslash with your forehand, aiming for Gawain's left area.
