Gawain knew that Murray's hitting was also a trap.
The tricky landing point and rising parabola create a delicate situation. When Gao Wen waits for his steps to be in place, it becomes more difficult to control the return ball. There are not many options left for him. If he doesn't handle it properly, he will go out of bounds.
Either choose to hit the ball, but focus on transition, and hit the tennis ball back to the middle area to ensure that the return ball can enter the bounds.
Either choose to cut, cut a straight line with your forehand, break the deadlock again, and gain space for yourself through line control. Of course, you can cut the diagonal line, but the diagonal line is too conservative. Judging from Gawain's character, a straight line is the best choice.
Probability events, Murray also understands Gawain.
but!
No matter which option he chooses, Murray has already calculated it, so he starts his steps in advance and is in place early.
So, what should we do?
It is a fact that Murray knows Gawain. After rising to second place in the world rankings, Gawain became the focus of everyone's research on the ATP Tour. There is no secret anymore; however, Gawain was able to reach the top of two majors in a row.
The point of a Grand Slam champion is that there is still a little bit of unknown hidden in him.
It is inspiration, courage and courage.
Just like this moment.
In the face of it, Gawain was completely immersed in the game, carefully feeling the force of his heart hitting his chest, and then grasped an inspiration.
He didn't even observe Murray's position, all his attention was focused on the tennis ball.
A kick!
He slipped and rushed out.
It’s not because he didn’t have enough time to hit the ball. Murray’s tap was not very fast, and Gao Wen was able to hit the ball smoothly. But once it was in place, the hitting point should be just above the shoulder, making it very difficult to exert force. Then, Gao Wen
A bold and even crazy idea came to mind.
When it comes to skating, there is not only red clay skating, but also grass skating. Just after switching from red soil to grass skating, your body is already gliding out before you are used to it.
However, Gawain did not choose to hit the ball immediately. Instead, he waited for a moment and missed the rising point of the tennis ball. Instead, he waited for the tennis ball to reach the rising turning point.
For a moment, the tennis ball will stop flying and pause in the air for a millisecond. The next step will be to feel the pull of gravity.
This is the time——
Seize the moment when the tennis ball pauses at the top, delay the shot with your forehand, and then accurately find the hitting point on the falling parabola of the tennis ball.
A flick, a rush.
When doing body splits, you cannot rely on your body to exert force, but rely entirely on the strength of your upper limbs.
The arm, forearm, wrist, the whole swinging force is done in one go, getting faster and faster, and finally creates a whipping effect, and the speed of the racquet suddenly increases.
boom!
Crisp and strong.
The tennis ball, after being compressed to the extreme, bounced out.
Like a missile.
slash!
Shallow area!
Relying on the split to delay the shot and successfully find the hitting point, Gao Wen aimed at the small triangle in the diagonal service area and exerted force. The speed of the racket head created a whipping effect, and finally completely tore the angle apart, from power to speed to then
The rhythm is pushed to a new level without warning.
From fast to slow, and from slow to fast.
From Gawain's cutting to Murray's light hit, and then to Gawain's flat strike.
The whole rhythm was unreasonably subverted in an instant. In the last beat, it was still slow and leisurely, and in the next beat, the long sword with a red bayonet was unsheathed. In one breath, the accelerator was pressed to the bottom and the speed entered the F1 formula state.
The strong wind made the entire audience close their mouths and hold their breath.
In the air, there was almost no shadow of the tennis ball, only a blur of light and shadow, pulling a long tail, crossing the court like a falling star, crossing the net, falling quickly, the flaming energy set off a stormy sea, and
The entire center court was released without reservation.
boom!
Landed and exploded.
On that side, Murray made a sudden stop and turn for the second time, and his body had moved towards the forehand again. However, his steps could not keep up with the rhythm at all.
Finally, Murray simply kicked off the ground and jumped into the air, leaping to the top, with his body and arms stretched to the extreme.
However--
Out of reach.
The gap is very, very obvious, there is no chance at all.
At the same time, gravity also pulled Murray's body down heavily, and with a roar, the center court completely lost its mind.
Buzz.
There was no shouting, no screaming, no cheering, just a roar.
Buzz…
When the volume of the sound reaches its extreme, the eardrums can no longer feel the vibration, and in the end there are only waves of roaring that continue to surge.
Pulan couldn't believe his eyes. He clenched his fists with tears in his eyes and stared deeply at Gawain who fell to the ground——
He raised his right fist high and looked cool.
There was no catharsis, no release, only determination, the desire to win and the will to fight shining in the depths of those deep pupils.
Involuntarily, Pulan's blood boiled.
"Bah! Gawain!"
"Bah! Gawain!"
The sound gradually became clearer, and the sound of calling Gawain's name hovered above the center court, comparable to thunder.
two!
Gawain saved two consecutive games with a wonderful and unparalleled performance. He was clearly standing on the edge of the cliff, but once again showed the courage of a champion.
Who can refuse?
Although the home audience is eager for Murray to win, the sense of crisis and fear is slowly growing. The more panicked they are, the more eager they are to end the game as soon as possible; however, beyond the victory or defeat, the duel that is unfolding in front of them is
Bringing a more turbulent, crazy and hot feeling.
Both players fought to the extreme and gave their best performance without any reservations. In the end, both players fell to the ground.
The charm of competitive sports blooms proudly at this moment.
So, they also applauded Gawain.
The bubbling air was almost on fire, and the atmosphere of this game was pushed to a whole new level. Almost no one could sit quietly.
The stalemate has still not been broken——
"40:40".
After Gawain worked hard to save two consecutive games, it was still just a tie. The next one was still full of infinite possibilities.
The noise only lasted for a moment, and then it returned to calm in the blink of an eye.
There was silence.
All the scorching gazes fell on the two players.
At this moment, a dark cloud seemed to finally be willing to move, and the ray of sunshine that had just fallen turned into a gorgeous golden color, covering the stadium like a spotlight. The fresh green and the knights in white clothes were dancing in the air.
In the breeze, the decisive battle takes place at the top of the Forbidden City.
Solemn, dignified, but uncontrollably excited.
Bend your knees, push off the ground, and throw the ball.
——Gawain, like a bow and arrow, his slender and tall figure is projected on the ground, like a giant standing tall on the sky and the earth.
Swing the bat, hit the ball.
——The energy of the body is all condensed and released instantly, and a piece of white flutters in the wind, like the shadow of a knight's sword.
boom!
Landing, crisp and solid.
Sneak attack on the outside corner.
After trying the inside corner continuously, very, very suddenly, Gao Wen did not choose the inside corner that felt good to him, but instead stole an outside corner.
It's actually still in the first area.
Murray was very surprised. His footsteps were obviously half a beat too slow. Before his body could extend, the tennis ball had already jumped out from in front of his eyes.
