The strong wind is hunting, the heat wave is rolling——
Arthur Ashe Stadium was briefly immersed in the thick and hot lava. There was no sound or movement. I held my breath and stared at the mustard yellow light.
In the previous shot, Gasquet was in dire straits, unsheathed his long sword, and made a straight shot with his backhand, shocking everyone with his skill.
In the next shot, Gawain punched hard while running at high speed, soared into the air and hit a forehand, overturning his balance again.
"Offense vs Attack".
"Breaking the situation VS breaking the situation".
The two players were like opponents performing fencing on a high-altitude rope. They were teetering on the edge, but they refused to give in. The violently shaking rope affected the audience below who raised their heads high to appreciate this peak showdown. One or two hearts had stopped beating.
For fear of missing any detail.
Then.
Gasquet's deficiencies on the defensive end were exposed. He stopped and turned suddenly, started a second time, and barely pulled his body back. However, his unstable center of gravity caused him to lose the foundation for a strong backhand counterattack. In the end, he succeeded with a one-handed backhand.
He could only passively pull out a strong top spin, and a roar broke out from his Dantian.
——Slapping the face, I can’t control it.
Originally, it was more difficult to control the one-handed backhand. Without the support of footsteps and center of gravity, Gawain's flying forehand attack suppressed Gasquet's backhand, so that the entire return parabola was
He pulled up completely and flew across the court to the diagonal line.
Well.
After roaring with all his strength, Gasquet let out a groan, and he could see the mighty black whirlwind across the court across the field.
Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap
Gawain's second reaction was very quick. After landing in the air, he stood on tiptoe slightly. He didn't even wait for his center of gravity to stabilize. As if a spring was inserted into his knees, he jumped up again, pulling his center of gravity to move laterally to the left, seamlessly.
Smooth and silky, acceleration immediately increases.
Kick on the ground. Run wildly. Sprint.
In the blink of an eye, Gawain had already arrived on horseback. He whipped his whip with his forehand without hesitation, fast and hard, and he had already thrown it out with a slash "inside-out".
However……
"Oh, almost."
At the moment of taking action, Gawain had already realized that with continuous sudden stops and turns, continuous active use of force, everything was in chaos, and the control of power would inevitably be somewhat deviated. This time, in his quick shot across the entire field, both strength and speed were outstanding.
It's a little too fast, so the line control isn't accurate enough.
Diagonal lines, angles are not completely torn apart.
But this is tennis, everything is changing rapidly, everything is running at high speed, and deviations and errors are inevitable.
Fortunately, the tennis game has a relatively high fault tolerance rate, which allows players to constantly adjust and rearrange the ball during the round.
Therefore, Gawain didn't have time to consider that the previous shot was slightly deviated from his idea. He stopped suddenly and pulled back again.
Attention, high concentration.
Sure enough, Gawain saw Gasquet's figure——
Obviously, defense is not Gasquet's strong point. In the last shot, his center of gravity was completely disrupted, so that he lost his defensive position, but Gasquet's subsequent adjustments did not keep up. After regaining his center of gravity,
, the defensive awareness of moving laterally back to the midfield was obviously half a beat slower.
Therefore, when Gawain continued to choose to return the ball diagonally, Gasquet's footsteps were nearby, making mistakes and missing the ball.
Gasquet took another step to the left, already pulling up his one-handed backhand.
However, Gasquet's steps were a little heavy. His mind was still directing his steps to move to the right, but his body had already pulled his steps back to the left. The adjustment of his steps was a bit lazy and confusing, and his steps during the defensive moment were not offensive.
The timing is so smooth, and the hitting position is also affected.
Backhand, push.
The problem is that in this shot, I didn't have enough force, and the whole shot seemed a bit sloppy. I simply pushed the shot back to the middle.
In a strong-strong collision, such a situation is normal. Both players are consuming oxygen violently. The quality continuity and connection of offense and defense will inevitably be affected, and the bayonet's round will begin.
A buffer zone, the quality of these two shots is average.
Gao Wen was moving towards the midfield. He immediately realized that the quality of the two players' batting had fluctuated, and he immediately made adjustments.
The forehand was already set up and ready to strike, but at the moment of release, the grip was changed——
cutting.
small ball.
It was very sudden and unexpected. The entire Arthur Ashe Stadium was shocked in an instant. There was a roar in my mind and I couldn't help but feel numb.
……ah.
Gasquet groaned.
Ahhhhh.
Along with the vertical movement, the force of kicking becomes more and more powerful, the speed bursts out, and the roar from deep in the Dantian also emerges.
It's like the growl deep in the throat of a Tibetan Mastiff when it locks onto a stranger.
In an instant, the intensity, status, and nature of the entire confrontation were all reshuffled.
Gao Wen chose Gasquet's forehand area for his small ball, because he knew that Gasquet's backhand was still excellent at handling some delicate techniques, but the forehand handling was relatively monotonous, so he chose the backhand area.
The diagonal ball moved Gasquet to the forehand position.
Gasquet stepped forward and observed, and then saw that Gawain's footsteps had also entered the bottom line.
Obviously, Gao Wen thought that Gasquet would choose to fight back with a small ball.
Gasquet quickly observed and judged, and he had to admit——
Indeed, Gawain's ball was sudden and unexpected. Even though it was of average quality, it still had the upper hand. Therefore, the space left for Gasquet to deal with it was limited.
By the time Gasquet was waiting for his steps to be in place, the tennis ball had already dropped twice, leaving him little room to hit the ball. The probability of choosing to drop a small ball back should be over 90%.
This is called a trap.
Gasquet realized the existence of the trap immediately, so would he step into it even though he knew it?
As a teenager, Gasquet was hailed as a genius, more popular than Nadal. In addition to his cool and sharp backhand shots, another reason is that his touch is very delicate and diverse. When dealing with some technical balls, he often
Can bring surprises.
The biggest regret is that Gasquet's ability to withstand pressure is average. When the game enters an anxious state, his mind often goes blank. He is unable to choose the right technique at the right time to complete the correct processing, and his ability cannot be used there.
come out.
But now, Gasquet's confidence has reached a small peak, his brain's operating speed and level of clarity are completely different, and the stadium presented in his field of vision is naturally different.
He saw it.
A weakness that is not a weakness, and a gap that is not a gap.
then--
Without hesitation, Gasquet's forehand was pushed out.
Step forward, step forward, cut into the gap between the tennis ball and the ground with your forehand, lift it gently, then use the power of your wrist to raise it and push it forward gently.
It's all cleverness.
The tennis ball crossed the net lightly and made a small diagonal stroke. In fact, it was still in a straight line. It fell into Gawain's left half along his right hand half, aiming at the narrow channel next to Gawain's left foot and flying through it.
