This is Internet Technology 101. When a player chooses to take a basic introductory course in front of the net, it becomes an instinct over time. The body is faster than the brain.
At this time, there is no exception.
However, as soon as Gao Wen took a step forward, he noticed that something was not good. Djokovic accurately controlled the parabolic arc and angle of the ball. Although it was not in place yet, experience and intuition had already sounded the alarm.
Not good.
But the problem is that tennis matches are changing rapidly, especially in close combat in front of the net. There is no time to panic, no time to be nervous, and no time to hesitate. You must be calm, focused, and respond according to your intuition.
Stepping up, still taking the step up, but he controlled himself immediately.
The racket is stretched toward the backhand position, and the body is completely stretched.
Once blocked, the ball bounced off the sole of his foot.
This is a knee-jerk reaction.
Then what?
At the same time, looking at the entire field from the corner of his eyes, he immediately noticed Djokovic's step-up figure, quickly approaching the middle area in front of the net along the diagonal line, but his body's center of gravity was always focused on his backhand, and his eyes were burning.
A crossover.
In just a short moment, the collision between judgment and layout was already sparking.
Then--
The wrist wraps and curls, just like twisting a twist, controlling the racket in a counter-clockwise direction. The gentleness in that moment perfectly relieves the force, and flexibly and tolerantly wraps up the power and rotation in a spring breeze.
Lightning, flint, rapid changes, lightning fast.
The tennis ball hit the racket string like a violent storm, but then flew out like a spring breeze, light and agile, bursting out with a touch of splendor.
Golden, all at once.
The O2 stadium was completely silent. I even forgot to be surprised. I just stared blankly at the flight path of the tennis ball and felt the beauty.
straight line.
Gao Wen actually awkwardly twisted his body to complete a bounce ball on the backhand position, but relied on his touch, understatement, and casually changed the trajectory of the return ball, quietly subverting everyone's expectations for the development of the round.
Including Djokovic.
He.
Djokovic was startled, and his nimble steps paused for a rare moment. It was so unexpected and shocking that Djokovic panicked for a moment, and his body just followed instinct and ran out subconsciously.
Lateral shift?
Not enough, far from enough.
Not only do you need to move laterally, you also need to retreat vertically.
Djokovic had just moved his steps when he realized that it was too late. His position was separated from the trajectory of the tennis ball by half a court.
There is no way back.
However, Djokovic was still moving, not unwilling to give up, but just moving along with the inertia, following the flight of the tennis ball with his eyes, turning his head, watching the tennis ball continue to fly along a crooked straight line.
Cheerful, wanton, like a butterfly.
Finally, fall.
In front of me, there is an empty space. It is inside the boundary. There is no doubt that it is inside the boundary. It falls outside the big triangle area near the intersection of the bottom line and the sideline. It is a vast and empty world, gently opening the door to a new world.
A fresh start.
Ahead, there is both splendor and chaos. The era of giants will climb to a new peak and enter an incredible and wonderful third stage. From the duel between Feiner to the rise of Demu and then to the convergence of Gawain, the golden age of tennis is actually coming again.
Take the next step to a higher level.
Maybe Gao Wen can reach the top of the world at the end of the year, maybe he won't be able to do it for the time being and needs to wait a little longer, but the ending is no longer important, because Gao Wen has proven himself time and time again, not just wins and championships, but also competitions.
The wonderful performance of the collision between top players——
He is the fifth giant.
Tennis ball, landing, flowering, blooming.
,cash.
It only took one, and Gao Wen overturned the confrontation with a shocking volley of the ball off the sole of his feet, successfully cashing in and winning the victory.
"6:4", "7:6(6)".
The game is over and victory belongs to Gawain.
Gawain, won.
Defeated Djokovic for the seventh time this season, and once again won three consecutive victories since the Imperial Capital. In the head-to-head confrontation with the world's number one, he firmly grasped the opportunity and once again proved his ability.
In the battle for the world number one at the end of 2015, Gao Wen seized the opportunity and defeated Djokovic, firmly holding the initiative in the year-end world rankings in his hands, and truly leveraging the territory of the giants——
As long as Gao Wen wins another game, the world's No. 1 throne will change hands at the end of the year. For the first time since 2003, names other than Federer, Nadal and Djokovic will be written, and it will also be accompanied by a series of incredible historical records.
, the number is endless.
The wave of the times is coming in full force.
In the last point, Gawain was still Gawain, a typical Gawain-style winning score, full of skill and inspiration, courage and wisdom, calm judgment and firm execution, controlling the situation with unparalleled game temperament.
Amazing and fascinating.
ah!
Gawain finally released it, clenched his fists, and roared as loud as he could.
Ahhhh!
The game is far from being as simple and easy as the scores show. The pressure lasts from the first point to the last point, even surpassing Melbourne and New York. There is no doubt that this is the most difficult and closest match with Djokovic this year.
In a game, after all, the mentality and position are different, which also means that every encounter in the future will be different.
Emotions were finally vented at this moment.
ah!
Gawain clenched his fists vigorously, a smile bloomed at the corners of his mouth, a kind of pure joy and happiness filled his chest. When he turned around, he could see the heat wave ocean spread out across the entire O2 Arena.
Win. Win!
Once again, complete a new challenge.
The celebration did not last long. Then Gawain turned and walked towards the net. Djokovic was already waiting beside him. Although his expression was slightly disappointed, he still smiled.
Gao Wen trotted forward, opened his arms, and gave Djokovic a big hug. After experiencing a peak duel with a bayonet, the two players found a resonance with each other.
This is the cruelest and most beautiful moment in competitive sports.
Everything is related to victory or defeat, but it has nothing to do with victory or defeat.
"exciting competition."
"A very, very exciting game. It is undoubtedly one of the most exciting games in this year's year-end finals. Between this game and Nadal's group stage, I may have swayed a little, but there is no doubt that it is exciting."
"Gao Wen not only personally ended Djokovic's dream of four consecutive championships in the year-end finals, but also took the lead in the competition for the world's number one at the end of the year. More importantly, he brought great achievements in the collision of powerful players in the era of giants.
variable."
"It is now foreseeable that the upcoming 2016 season should be very good, but I don't know if it can surpass this season."
"Before the year-end finals kicked off, we did not anticipate the beginning, the process, and the ending."
"Maybe some people predicted that Gauvin could defeat Djokovic, but no one predicted that it would happen in the semi-finals. This also means that the final showdown may be different. Whether it is Federer or Nadal, Gauvin is about to win.
In the final, we face the two kings who created the era of giants."
