Giron didn't need to look up to see the burning determination and high fighting spirit in Gawain's shot selection.
He had no time to observe Gawain's eyes, but was immersed in his own annoyance:
In fact, at this point, both he and Gao Wen had the opportunity to attack, but neither of them seized it. Instead, they exposed their intentions and became the opponent's counterattack opportunity; then, Gao Wen became more courageous and determined, and when the touch was not good,
, with poor strength, I chose an adventurous route.
This really broke his prediction.
High risk, high reward.
Jilong was upset that he should have been bolder.
"pretty!"
"At the end of the second set, Gao Wen made consecutive mistakes on his backhand. I can't be sure now, but at least I remember that there were three trips to the net and one out of bounds. There is no doubt that the decline in physical strength came late.
, slow swing movements and other effects are destroying the batting rhythm."
"But at the critical moment, Gao Wen still gritted his teeth and hit his ideal line."
"The most important thing about this shot is that Gawain took a step forward. He didn't slack off in his steps and stepped out. As a result, he grabbed the hitting point and kept up with the hitting speed."
"It looks like a very simple and neat winning score, but in fact Gowan took a huge risk and then won a significant reward."
"Now in Geelong's service game, Gao Wen got the break point for the third time."
"The eleventh game of the second set is still not over. Geelong needs to save another crisis."
Sofar sat in the live broadcast room above the stadium, overlooking the entire field from a high position, and could clearly feel the excitement of the scene through the glass box.
"We can see that in this game, the difficulties faced by Geelong may be the sum total of the entire game. This is also a manifestation of Gao Wen's ability to interpret the game, because he knows that every next point will be against
The trend of the game is very important, and he needs to give his best performance."
"If Geelong can reverse the situation and maintain serve smoothly, then it will indeed have a slight advantage in the second set. We may be able to look forward to the deciding set, but the premise is that Geelong will have to see if Gao Wen agrees."
"Obviously, Gao Wen will not let Jilong escape easily like the first few break points in the second set. Jilong must take the initiative to stand up if he wants to win the serve."
Jilong is indeed aware of this. Gawain will never give up this round. He needs to be more proactive and stronger.
But the problem is that taking the initiative to attack has always been a relative weakness of Geelong, and now that physical strength has declined significantly, it is even more difficult to take the initiative to attack.
what to do?
Geelong is trying to figure it out.
In tennis matches, except for breaks between sets and breaks between sets, there are actually no strict regulations on the adjustment time between one point and one point.
Because the game is very special, sometimes an ACE ends a point, and then you can directly continue to the next point without any adjustments; but sometimes, both sides fight with all their strength for thirty rounds and enter anaerobic mode.
In a state of motion, when one point is over, both parties need to adjust.
Therefore, as long as it is not too outrageous and within the reasonable range of the rules - the discretion is mainly in the hands of the referee. It doesn't matter if the players use the time to wipe off sweat or pick the ball to make a slight adjustment; occasionally change rackets, shoes, etc.
What he did was also within the acceptable range.
Until the 2017 U.S. Tennis Open, like badminton, table tennis, volleyball and other sports, in order to speed up the game process based on the existing rules and make it more convenient for live television, they introduced the service timing rule for the first time, which is one point.
The time between the end and the next serve cannot exceed twenty-five seconds, and timers are installed at different locations on the court to supervise players.
If there is a timeout violation, one warning will be given, two penalty points will result in a service opportunity being lost (that is, the first serve becomes a second serve), and three times, a direct penalty point will be issued.
But in fact, between points, adjusting your breathing and relaxing your muscles is one thing, and organizing your thoughts and tactical layout is another thing.
Just like now.
Jilong made full use of the time to wipe his sweat and think about how to score the next point.
At the moment, the service timing rules have not yet been introduced, and the adjustment time of Geelong is a little longer. However, there is no noise at all from the audience. Everyone is holding their breath and the buzzing vibration in the air is spreading silently, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
Getting more and more nervous.
Turning around and coming to the bottom line, Jilong raised his hand to apologize to Gao Wen, and then started to shoot the ball.
Pah. Pah. Pah.
The sound of tennis rackets hitting the ground was jumping, like a dolphin leaping out of the glittering sea, focusing all the attention of the audience.
ah!
Kick the ground! Turn! Swing your arms!
Jilong let out a groan because of the strong exertion. He looked up and looked at the mustard-yellow tennis ball immersed in the golden sunlight, and then all his body's strength was superimposed on the tennis ball.
Whoosh!
Hit the inside corner flatly to serve, and the serve speed returns to 177 kilometers per hour. It is fast and flat, and the angle is very tricky, directly pressing on the T point of the service area.
Serve hard!
At the critical moment, Jilong was already risking his life, gritting his teeth and fighting every shot, which required speed and angle. Even a slight lack of strength made Gawain very, very embarrassed.
snort.
Gawain groaned. Even if his prediction was accurate, the power of kicking his legs was still not enough. He took a big step horizontally and rushed out - it was not that he was lazy, but that he had no strength and was too late. Jilong's serve from the inside corner was fast enough.
, compressing Gawain’s reaction time.
That's too late!
Gawain's upper body was completely stretched out, and the balance of his body's center of gravity was completely broken. Without enough strength to support his steps, he completely extended his upper body.
ah!
Enough!
With a forceful squeeze of his wrist, there was no friction or force between the lightning and flint. He just used the force to push back, flying back with a diagonal line without opening the angle, and then returned to the middle position on the forehand.
, but the rotation, power and landing point are not enough to create a threat.
Oops!
Gawain immediately knew that Jilong had the opportunity to attack, and he adjusted his body's center of gravity with small steps. His calf muscles were tense to the extreme, and he continued to exert force, as if he was running wildly on top of the flaming lava.
Then I saw Giron’s shot——
Accident!
Jilong did not choose to use his forehand to exert all his strength. He probably realized that his strength was not enough to form a winning point with one shot, so Jilong took a step forward and used his forehand to grab an ascending point and make a sweep, compressing the return time.
method to increase the rhythm, and then use speed to create suppression.
Return the ball quickly!
It was as if Gawain's hit had just passed one second, and the next second the tennis ball flew back again, without any spin or power, but as fast and violent as lightning.
Tread.
Tread.
Gao Wen still found his balance while continuing to adjust, and then he saw the ball coming——
It was almost a head-on collision, like two cars coming out of an intersection at the same time.
