Tennis is like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger. From Nadal to Gawain and back to Nadal, the strength and strength are progressively increasing, the speed and speed are continuously superimposed. The naked eye can hardly catch the tennis ball, there is only one
Blurred light and shadow can only be captured intuitively.
Fast, heavy, strong, a crushing feeling, dull and heavy but coming sharply and forcefully, instantly making the players on both sides of the net become smaller, and the pervasive temperament is almost as big as
The entire O2 Arena was packed, and there was silence in the extremely tight air.
Wheel, wheel--
Return the ball and hit Nadal head-on.
Although Nadal's steps were already in place and he had made adjustments in a blink of an eye, he was immediately aware of his passivity.
Not only does he have strength and speed, but Gao Wen's control of the return line and placement also once again demonstrated his ability.
Press line.
Gao Wen's return ball was firmly pressed on the baseline near the sideline, cutting into the blind area of the baseline triangle, making full use of the pressure of the court space, so that Nadal had almost no room to return the ball.
Press. Hit. Beat.
This return kick is equivalent to boxing.
Nadal, don't panic.
In a hurry, in a hurry, in a moment of embarrassment, Nadal braked with his right leg to control his body, but continued to move his left leg forward half a step and turned his body sideways, so that the side of his body faced the net, and he shot a backhand with both hands from top to bottom.
One chop.
cutting.
But cutting is not just cutting. Nadal used the power of his body to completely block the impact and tail force of the return ball, and cut the return ball with strong backspin. Then, the tennis ball spun at high speed, instantly increasing three levels -
From flat shots to spins, Nadal's specialty once again subverted the situation.
At this time, you can see that the tennis ball is raised high, and the turbulent force still pulls the tennis ball into a full parabola, which has been over the net and continues to go deeper. It is about to fly out of the baseline, but it is incredibly fast near the baseline.
Fall, fall off a cliff.
Even if you see it with your own eyes, it's still hard to believe that the parabola is happening right in front of your eyes, once again demonstrating Nadal's unparalleled understanding of spin.
Therefore, Gawain also faced difficulties.
Originally, during the movement, I was preparing to deal with the shot above the shoulder position; but when I got closer, I found that what was coming was the backspin ball bouncing from the side of the foot. From the hitting position to the hitting technique and even the angle of the racket, everything was
Different, the adjustment must be completed in just a moment.
Difficult. Extremely difficult.
However, Gao Wen was not distracted at all, nor did he take any chances. His two-handed backhand triggered the shot early and was ready for a forced attack. This action mobilized Nadal to the left, but it changed the moment he released it.
The way you hold the racket is to give a small half-step back, and use both hands to backhand and spin back, changing the direction of flight.
straight line.
Gao Wen actually slowed down the rhythm of the round further, used cutting to handle the ball, and continuously pushed the tennis ball towards Nadal's backhand——
Does this tactic look familiar?
Another backhand?
Moreover, the key point is that, like Nadal, Gauvin constantly changes his hitting techniques and rhythm. Every shot has a hidden edge. The back-and-forth competition completely adds to the tense atmosphere of the confrontation.
O2 Arena:???
The audience's thoughts could no longer keep up with the rhythm, and they were thus involved in the competition. They relied on their instincts to find the mustard yellow light and shadow. Their hearts and breathing also fluctuated with the rhythm of the bat, and their brains were completely shut down.
squeak.
Nadal stopped and turned suddenly, and the friction between the soles of his shoes and the court made a harsh sound. This time Nadal was indeed shaken by Gawain, and his center of gravity control was obviously half a beat slower. However, the more passive he was, the more determined he became.
With one big stride, Nadal shortened the space and forced himself into position to complete the swing. He grabbed a rising point with his backhand and used his strength again without warning——
boom!
Backhand, slash, force.
As mentioned before, Nadal's backhand uses more force and has strong ability to resist hits. Under pressure, his backhand can hit, resist, change lines, and cut; but when relying on his own strength, he often chooses slashes.
.
In the tug-of-war and confrontation, Nadal and Gauvin kept trying to take the initiative. Then Nadal seized a gap and launched an attack on the backhand position again, and the "inside-out" slash had already escaped.
By the way, Nadal's backhand slash is a flat hit in 90% of the cases, without any spin. This is also a change of rhythm.
Then……
Gawain once again fell into a passive position. With a push of his right leg, his body was completely pushed out; but this time, his center of gravity was not completely thrown out. Instead, before his steps were in place, he braked and his right leg controlled his body.
The force was rolling towards the right leg in layers, and the knee was under incredible pressure.
ah!
A roar erupted from the depths of Gawain's dantian, and his knees suddenly straightened.
The power is transmitted layer by layer, and a smooth turn completes the swing push.
Ahhhh!
Gawain also exerted force, following the control of the turning movement to complete the confrontation, his wrist was thrown out instantly, the speed of the racket increased by a step, his mind and heart were united, and his will and courage were in perfect harmony at this moment.
boom.
--straight line.
Passive, indeed passive, but Gawain was prepared for Nadal's sudden force, both physically and mentally. Then relying on the superposition of speed and strength, he launched a bold but courageous counterattack.
To be precise, start a confrontation.
The air suddenly became tense.
From fast to slow to fast, from attack to defense to attack, the entire rhythm switch is an instant matter, and one shot of the ball can easily overturn the entire situation.
More importantly, neither player is prepared to stay in the same rhythm for too long. They are always looking for opportunities, always trying to control, and always waiting for opportunities to counterattack. This kind of game is completely different from the collision between the four giants.
A new color exclusive to Gao Wen is being interpreted.
There was no sound at the O2 Stadium, but the raging heat wave above the eardrums continued to heat up, exploding into waves of crazy excitement.
Involuntarily, my blood boils.
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, Nadal’s moving steps moved across the court in a dizzying manner, and in a flash, he appeared on Gawain’s return line, and he was still slightly calm.
Predict and be accurate.
Gao Wen was prepared for Nadal's ball path, and Nadal was also prepared for Gao Wen's ball path. The sudden attack did not break the routine, so both players were able to arrive in time despite being passive.
Then, Nadal's forehand launched a violent blow without hesitation.
boom!
The third consecutive beat of power, the third consecutive beat of critical hit, the third consecutive beat of powerful collision, the collision of attack and attack once again raised the rolling heat wave to a higher level.
This time, it was Nadal’s iconic forehand super topspin.
Attack is offense, but the rhythm and method of each attack are completely different, and the strategy and layout of each attack are also slightly different. The collision of techniques and tactics in the transition between offense and defense shows another aspect of tennis.
It's so exciting that you can't breathe.
The perfect combination of power and spin, it swept through the entire court in a mighty way, and after landing, it continued to roll out with light towards the singles line.
