The two players were already in position. Gao Wen raised his eyes and glanced at Ji Long, and then served.
a district.
interior angle.
It was a standard routine, and Jilong was not surprised. He rushed out with just one step, but as soon as his body rushed out, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
To be precise, Gao Wen's serve did not completely separate the angle. The landing point and route were in an awkward position. It was close but not close, the outer corner was not the outer corner, and the landing point was neither forward nor backward.
Generally speaking, such a landing point is called a dish in tennis, because the receiving party only needs one step to reach the position, and complete the ball smoothly. From the hitting position to the release time, it is very comfortable. The advantage of serving
It was immediately weakened a lot.
But tennis is a game of games. Even in racquetball, timing and occasion are important, just like techniques such as decelerating serves and cutting. Accurate use of the right timing and the right occasion can create unexpected effects. It is not
You can win if you just focus on speed and strength.
Just like this time——
Jilong was in a state of excitement and played very well at the beginning of the second set. Not only did he hit the ball with a high percentage, he hit the ball no matter how hard he hit the ball, the quality of the returns on both ends of the offense and defense was very good; his adrenaline was fully erupted, and he didn't feel anything at all.
To the extreme of physical fitness, the speed of conditioned reflexes is unparalleled.
It is conceivable that Geelong's current state is to go fast, go fast, come on fast; rush, rush, keep your head down and rush.
Facing the serve, Jilong rushed very hard, and the fixed impression of "inside corner of the first zone" caused Jilong to complete the rush towards the backhand position in one big step.
As a result, it was found that Gawain did not completely separate the angle. Instead, Jilong ran over and the distance between his body and the tennis ball was too close.
The vegetable ball instead became an obstacle.
at the same time!
Instead of flattening the ball, Gao Wen added a lot of top spin and landed in a shallow area of the teeing area. After landing, a large amount of spin was released. When he reached the position of Geelong, the height of the bounce had already passed the shoulder, and was even rising further.
.
Let’s make it clear, this is bullying Ji Long’s height.
From placement to spin to layout, Gawain's seemingly simple serve has hidden edge.
But Geelong is indeed at his peak now. He is concentrated and his secondary reactions are very agile. He leans back his upper body to create some gaps, uses his hands to backhand with his body, and hits the shot with strength before the tennis ball hits his body.
, complete the swing quickly and complete the batting action smoothly.
Moreover, the quality of the returned ball is actually pretty good!
This is the confidence effect -
The whole feeling of taking action is different.
Jilong glanced at his return and continued to move forward. His body had already braked, and then he used his waist and abdomen strength to control his center of gravity during the misalignment. He turned around and pulled back with a kick of his right leg. He adjusted in small steps in succession, preparing to return to defense.
, and then saw the tennis ball squeezing Gawain.
Deep enough and fast enough.
Giron's return ball landed near Gao Wen's serving position. It did not reach the baseline and did not create a rebound effect, but the depth was enough.
Gao Wen had to step sideways in small steps to make room for the ball, but he placed his forehand near his knees and gently flicked him——
Whoosh.
Wandering around in the garden, I picked it up at my fingertips. I didn't feel the difficulty at all, and the tennis ball flew back again.
Giron: Uh-huh.
He groaned.
Because Gao Wen unexpectedly turned sideways and flicked the ball back with his forehand, falling back into the forehand gap behind Giron, the angle was immediately torn apart.
Giron came back again, starting three times. His center of gravity was shaky in the continuous shaking. Before he had time to adjust, his body flew directly into the air. He extended his backhand with both hands as much as possible, trying to touch the ball.
Wait, I hit... but I couldn't adjust my center of gravity, lost control of my body, obviously couldn't close my forehand, and the wrist control was not stable, so the tennis ball flew out.
Fly to the spectator stand.
"15:30".
Understatement, step by step, from serving to attacking, there is no success. In comparison, Jilong seems a little impatient even though he is embarrassed——
Of course, unintentionally.
For the audience, they have long been accustomed to it. Gao Wen's ability to adjust and layout key scores is definitely in the first group in today's professional tennis world. Even compared with the Big Four, he is not inferior at all. This score is average.
It's not surprising, it doesn't seem to be anything special.
But for Jilong, it was a bit... baffling. Why was it suddenly different? But I couldn't tell what was different for a while. The whole feeling was a bit subtle; and Gawain didn't give Jilong anything to think about.
Time, the next minute will start immediately.
Zone 2, inner corner.
So, repeating the same old tricks?
of course not.
It's also the inside corner, but this time because of the zone change, I'm aiming for Geelong's forehand position.
At the same time, the speed and strength are increased, and the standard flat serve is achieved.
Giron reacted promptly and continued his good form. He rushed out immediately, and his forehand was already forward, but it was still a little lacking, because Gao Wen's shot from the inside corner completely tore the angle apart and suppressed it.
At T point, Jilong tried his best but the timing of hitting the ball was still a little slow.
Without any time to think, Jilong followed the inertia of his forehand swing and tried to hit a diagonal shot back.
Unfortunately, the closing speed was not enough, and the diagonal line could not be completely opened. The result was that the sheep fell into the tiger's mouth and returned to Gawain's position.
Moreover, the impact point is not deep enough, which is equivalent to being sent directly back to Gawain's hands.
Gawain, of course, did not miss it. The roc spread its wings, stretched its body, and fully extended its forehand. Without waiting or hesitating, he struck immediately——
boom.
Solid and heavy.
On the opposite side of the court, Jilong reacted very promptly and started immediately, sprinting towards the backhand position.
From judgment to reaction to activation, the entire conditioned reflex is very sensitive and alert, and it can cross half of the stadium in a flash.
Gao Wen tried to hit a diagonal shot, but in order to seize the hitting point, the entire shot was very fast, with a lack of detail control, and the diagonal line was not completely torn apart. This also left some defensive space for Jilong, who stepped on his scud to catch up.
When you arrive, you are ready to hit the ball with your backhand with both hands.
Um?
Wait, Gawain is actually online.
At this time, Jilong realized that the diagonal shot did not completely break the angle. It was actually intentional. The purpose was to prevent Jilong from completely increasing his speed through a run-up, and then using speed and inertia to complete the shot and try to break the net.
Now when hitting the ball, Jilong's speed has not had time to increase to the extreme before he has to take the shot. Coupled with the pressure in front of the net, Jilong's shot is a little hasty. There is no time to think, and he subconsciously hits a straight shot with his backhand.
Gawain, waiting in a straight line accurately, blocked the shot with a forehand——
slash.
come down.
burst.
"30:30".
Again, the battle was resolved within the first three shots.
Moreover, Gawain's hitting was completely effortless and he had already controlled the situation without taking risks.
Jilong doesn’t understand or understand:???
What's going on?
The whole confrontation feels weird, but there is no reason for it. So, how did Gawain do it?
