In a tennis match, there is serving and hitting the net, and naturally there is also returning the serve and hitting the net. This is a corresponding technology, but the specific details and purposes are quite different.
Serving to the net is often applied to the cannon of serving. It uses a strong serve to create an advantage. Following the forward inertia of the serving action, it can reach the net immediately and further cover the space in front of the net. It not only compresses the attack time of the next shot, but also completes it from a visual level.
Block and create pressure for the opponent.
This is a scoring method.
It is relatively rare to receive the serve and go to the net, because as the party receiving the serve, it is more often in a passive state, and it is difficult to improve the quality of the serve. If you rush to the net after receiving the serve, it is easy to lose your position and be defeated.
If the opponent crosses directly, it will make him passive.
But occasionally, players will deliberately use the tactic of receiving the serve and hitting the net to break the balance of the confrontation. By changing their positions, firstly, they disrupt the rhythm of the baseline round. Secondly, they break the opponent's psychological expectations and create pressure for the opponent's return. Thirdly,
It is to gain opportunities for yourself to compress the rhythm in the frontcourt.
This is a form of tactical pressure.
Among the "Big Four", Federer often receives serve and goes to the net without warning. Even if his return effect is mediocre, he will use such a surprise tactical combination to disrupt the rhythm of the game, destroy the opponent's psychological expectations, and through his own
Excellent tennis skills win the advantage of confrontation.
Obviously, Gao Wen's net skills are not his strong point. Although Sampras is a serve and net player, the time he and Gao Wen worked together was still too short to polish Gao Wen's net skills in detail.
The timing also needs to be refined through training and competition.
So, what on earth is Gawain doing at this time?
Simply put, make waves.
If there were other opponents on the other side, Gao Wen would not rush to the net at this moment, not because it is too risky or impulsive to suddenly receive the serve and go to the net, but because Gao Wen is not the type of player who likes to hang around in front of the net, and there is no suitable opportunity.
If so, he is still used to staying at the bottom line.
But Mayer is different.
Mayer's backhand is mainly about pushing and cutting. He has been changing the rhythm and route in today's game. Even though Gao Wen's hand was not good, he did not fall behind; and now Gao Wen already needs to pave the way for the decisive set.
Now, facing Mayer's relatively weak backhand, he needs to break through.
Therefore, when Mayer used a second-zone outside corner serve to pull Gauvin out of the court, Gauvin knew that his condition was mediocre and that the diagonal line was the best choice. He had already started preparing for the next shot while hitting the ball.
Planning for the next two shots and putting pressure on the net is a tactic that suddenly breaks the balance.
A flash of inspiration!
Gawain's steps went straight forward without any pause, and he was extremely determined from decision-making to execution.
really!
Mayer did not expect such a change at all, and still followed his habit so far, using a cut to relieve the force, and cut a ball with strong backspin, and then swayed towards Gawain's progress.
rushed over.
Gawain was highly focused.
He knew that his skills at the net were mediocre, and Mayer's strong backspin turned and rushed. If he didn't handle it properly, the only result would be to leave the net; moreover, his footsteps were moving forward, which was equivalent to "two cars colliding head-on at high speed."
"In this state, it is more difficult to adjust your steps, and your body may be squeezed if you are not careful.
Focus. Focus. Still focus.
All of Gao Wen's thoughts were condensed, he adjusted in small steps continuously, turned his body sideways, then raised the racket high, and smashed the ball from top to bottom, just like a badminton shot in front of the net, his whole mind was firmly fixed.
Tips to remember Sampras:
press on. stick to.
At the stage when the technology at the net is immature, it is useless to deduct those technical details, because the reaction time and space of hitting the ball at the net are compressed, so that tennis becomes table tennis, and the entire hitting system needs to be adjusted.
The more you think about details, the more likely you are to make mistakes, so the best way is to:
Keep your steps forward in a stable state, be sure to be resolute and decisive, use the inertial pressure of your body to create the power of hitting the ball in front of the net, and avoid overly trusting your wrist control, racket surface control, angle control, etc.
To put it simply, it is to make hitting the ball simple and create suppression with power.
Tread.
Tread.
Gawain's tactical execution shows his determination to kill decisively, one step on the ground and one step forward!
Press!
According to Mayer's original plan, this is a backspin ball. As long as Gauvin hesitates a little, or the accuracy of the step is slightly worse, the tennis ball will fall quickly, and then Gauvin will face an opponent who is not easy to attack.
If Gao Wen simply goes to the net, he may even need to hit a difficult rebound ball at his feet, which is very difficult to handle.
However, Gawain took an unusually determined step forward and was already in position before the tennis ball reached its highest point. This allowed him to complete the ball at the highest point of the parabola, which was near his shoulder——
When hitting the baseline, the swing movement is horizontal, and hitting the ball near the shoulder will naturally become twisted and difficult to exert force; when hitting the net, the swing movement is vertical, and hitting the ball near the shoulder will become smoother.
Gao Wen's footsteps were within a palm position of the bottom line of the service area, and he completed a badminton-style smash——
Kick! Hit! Explode!
The next second, the tennis ball smashed hard into Mayer's court, falling in a straight line into the forehand gap that Mayer had cleared.
It landed, rebounded, and jumped high towards the audience stands.
"Set, high!"
As the referee announced the score, all the spectators in the diamond stadium stood up and cheered passionately.
boom!
The howls of wolves echoed one after another amidst the roar of the audience, as if lone wolves standing on different hills were communicating with each other through wolf howls, making sounds at the same time.
ah!
Gawain clenched his fists and roared angrily at the other side of the court.
Ahhhh!
The emotions that had been suppressed for two whole games were finally released——
This game is different from any previous game. It is always adjusting and controlling. From physical strength to energy, from hand to feeling, everything is not a situation that I am familiar with. Every ball and every point needs to be played with unfamiliarity.
The way to return to the scoring track that you are familiar with is beyond imagination.
As he continued to fight, Gawain himself felt extremely aggrieved. The heavy feeling of depression in his chest urgently needed to be vented.
until now.
After winning the second set in an unexpected way, I was finally able to relax for a moment, regain the familiarity of controlling the game, and embark on the road to victory.
Ahhhh!
Rather than saying that Gawain was putting pressure on Mayer, it was better to say that Gawain was shouting to himself. He deeply felt the burning sensation of his heart beating wildly in his chest. He swept away the dullness and hammered his chest hard and hard with his right hand.
, again and again, and again, releasing all the exploding feelings:
"The battle never stops and the struggle never stops"!
