In Gao Wen's serve, Jilong did not find any chance, and the entire game was firmly controlled by Gao Wen.
However, the serving game is still not over yet.
Jilong jumped slightly on the spot, trying to clear his thoughts.
All the three points just ended within three beats, which means that the winner has been decided before the confrontation has even started. It can be clearly felt that Gao Wen is grasping the first three boards and making full use of the advantage of serving to occupy the commanding heights.
The subsequent attacks connected very quickly and did not leave much space for Geelong to counterattack.
Although Gawain's serve was not won by power, the hidden changes continued to interfere with Jilong's judgment, trying to suppress the turning space of Jilong's first touch of the ball as much as possible.
Then, what Jilong needs to do is to at least complete the return of the ball accurately, and then slow down the rhythm of the confrontation as much as possible and enter the round ball mode that he is familiar with and accustomed to. Only in this way can Jilong be able to give full play to his strengths and advantages.
can form a confrontation.
boom!
Gawain served again, this time choosing the inside corner. Giron's early judgment and accurate interpretation, he kicked off the ground and flew up, and the backhand with both hands was already in place accurately. The power of the entire body was exerted on the arm swing, and there was no friction on the racket surface.
Use force to directly hit the tennis ball back.
This was a short, flat and quick return of the ball. Jilong did not widen the angle or pursue depth. Instead, he used a light hit to ensure that he could complete the return and return to the court. It was relatively safe and simple to return the ball as much as possible.
Let the rounds stretch out, and then—
He succeeded.
Whoosh!
The return ball was deep enough and fast enough, and it rushed towards the baseline on the opposite side of the court. Although it did not open up the angle, it still successfully contained the space for Gao Wen to serve and attack.
However, Gao Wen's serve still slightly suppressed Jilong's return serve, but Jilong was not able to completely suppress it. In addition, Jilong's own return ball added some rotation insurance - to avoid going out of bounds, the return ball was on the baseline.
Landing in the empty space between the ball and the teeing area still leaves room for Gao Wen to fight back.
Gawain glanced out of the corner of his eye and observed Giron's position - because he received the serve in the inside corner, his body was completely stretched out, and his center of gravity lost its position, so the forehand position behind him became neutral. At this time, Giron was also quickly making moves on the spot.
The feet control the center of gravity and are ready for a second start at any time.
So, he adjusted in small steps, struck out with his forehand, and quickly struck diagonally towards the court, trying to get a wider angle and hit a backhand shot.
But Jilong was already prepared, and he completed the adjustment of his center of gravity in small steps. His accurate prediction allowed him to get in place immediately. His second start was very fast, and the entire game was improving rapidly. He also used his forehand to grab the ball.
Point and complete the ball. Although the angle is not widened, the ball is already very solid this time and the quality of the return is improved.
At this time, it is not that easy for Gao Wen to easily break the angle and score quickly——
Because forehand power is not Gawain's strong point. Now his forehand does not have the ability to kill with one hit. Risky attacks may expose his own gaps. In a flash, Gawain made a judgment.
He did not continue to attack aggressively, but remained patient and dealt with the situation.
As a result, the confrontation formed a round ball. Gao Wen failed to solve the problem in the first three shots. The forehand and backhand between the two players began to hit the ball in all directions, diagonally, in a straight line; straight line, diagonally, all over.
The batting line was in a boxy state, and no one was able to take advantage.
Both players are observing and calculating, trying to disrupt the opponent's footsteps or predictions through the layout of the return route, thereby creating gaps.
But, easier said than done?
Although Jilong is the No. 2 singles player and Gao Wen is not even the No. 6 singles player, Jilong is not an absolutely powerful player with a crushing advantage. This also means that in the back-and-forth confrontation, it is difficult for anyone to score a winning score easily.
Moreover, Geelong discovered that Gao Wen worked particularly hard and devotedly today. He was highly focused and the quality of the defensive return was deeper and heavier, which greatly limited Geelong's opportunity to seize the rising point.
On at least two occasions, Geelong almost scored the winning point, but Gao Wen ran hard, covering every corner of the field, successfully completed a thrilling save, and ensured that the return ball could reach near the baseline.
, curbing Geelong's chance to hit the net and hit the half-court ball.
oh!
Wow!
Onlookers on the sidelines of the court let out low exclamations.
It was just a practice match, but Gao Wen worked as hard as a chicken. He saved all those "it doesn't matter if you give up" extreme catches, and the entire confrontation suddenly became exciting.
No one expected that Gao Wen could form a stalemate with Jilong and not fall behind at all in attack and defense. It was really eye-catching.
Moreover, Geelong, who continues to dominate the offense, will be a little weak. After all, he is the one who continues to exert force. He does not have the ability to continuously attack with force like Thompson. He fails again and again, and fails again and again. Geelong is exhausted.
The offense must find gaps to create a threat.
Over and over again, Jilong was still the first to attack again.
He knew that he had to create an opportunity before Gao Wen and make full use of his forehand advantage to end this point. Otherwise, Gao Wen's excellent mobility could always cover the whole court. His forehand had lacked stamina. Once
The decline in the quality of ball returns may be the key to Gawain turning the tide of the game.
That kind of result is something Jilong doesn't want to see.
So, when Gawain returned the tennis ball to Giron's backhand position again, the speed of the incoming ball was slightly slower and the bounce was higher, leaving Giron some time. He did not hesitate and made a prompt decision to hit three or four horizontal shorts in a row.
Adjust in small steps, quickly return the ball from your backhand position and forcefully turn sideways to the forehand position.
Kick off the ground! Step forward!
Jilong's whole body pressed forward, grabbing the rising point of the tennis ball's bounce, leaping into the air, rounding the forehand directly, and pressing down hard with the full force of his body weight.
state!
The solid hitting sound accurately landed on the sweet spot of the racket. He used the advantage of speed and rhythm to grab the rising point of the tennis ball. He directly completed the hitting without giving the tennis ball sufficient time to rebound. Before Gawain could complete the adjustment of his steps, Jilong's counterattack
The tennis ball has been pushed out.
Then, the tennis ball dragged out its long tail like a rocket and flew towards the diagonal area with sudden acceleration!
Whizzing!
Whizzing!
The power of breaking through the air! Like an angry bird, it spreads its wings and burns! It can be seen that Jilong's state has directly improved to a higher level. He accumulated all the energy in one shot, trying to complete a fatal blow. Through this shot
The one-point confrontation was ended neatly by hitting the ball.
