In fact, once the game started, it was still very interesting.
...Hah!
After holding their breaths, the spectators in Court No. 2 couldn't hold it back. They all exclaimed and stared intently at the tennis ball flying in the air.
Tim's serve is facing the test of deuce. The Gauvin combination has faced break points in two consecutive service games before. They are trying to avoid experiencing difficulties for the third time in a row.
The Bryan brothers showed the professional abilities of legendary doubles players. Power, speed, and spin are all not the focus of hitting the ball, but making full use of the court space.
In fact, the Bryan brothers' batting does not have many fancy skills, it is just a basic batting; and it does not emphasize the necessity of pumping the ball, but a combination of pushing, cutting, pumping, etc. The pursuit is to complete the shot cleanly.
The ball is then moved by foot, covering every corner of the court.
Therefore, the batting line and layout are particularly important - this is exactly the same as Kubert and Lindsted.
The one who receives the serve is Bob.
Overall, Bob served better and his forehand was also better. After returning the serve firmly, Mike, who was standing at the front of the net, immediately moved laterally to interfere with Tim's return; at the same time, Bob completed a return from behind.
Cross movement and cut into the net from behind Mike.
In the blink of an eye, the Bryan brothers have taken control of the strategic commanding heights in front of the net.
Although Gao Wen and Tim's hitting quality was better, the Bryan brothers still had the advantage with their wall-to-wall interception, which then resulted in a high-pressure ball.
During the three consecutive high-pressure balls between the Bryan brothers, Gao Wen and Tim tenaciously saved the ball continuously, and the scene was very thrilling.
The fourth high pressure.
It is precisely because the Bryan brothers are more focused on the connection of rhythm and the use of space that the high-pressure quality is mediocre. This also gives Gawain the opportunity to use his hands to backhand lightly in a small area while his body is being squeezed.
Pick it up, and the whole body jumps up, forcing the arc up.
Previously, Gao Wen and Tim also tried to raise the tennis ball over the top and over the blockade of the Bryan brothers, but their attempts ended in failure:
Mike is 190 centimeters tall, and Bob is 193 centimeters tall. Moreover, the two of them cooperate with each other tacitly to cross positions and overlap the defensive areas, which is like a dragnet.
But this time, Gawain relied on the lifting force of his body's jump to pull out a full parabola, incredibly leaping into the sky, and finally broke through Mike's frontcourt coverage——
Mike jumped back and tried to block the shot again, but watched helplessly as the tennis ball passed him and fell behind him, missing it by a hair.
Then, the whole audience let out a cry of surprise.
Huh!
Before the previous exclamation had time to calm down, another exclamation came out immediately afterwards.
Bob's timely defense saved the situation. He came behind Mike and prepared to save the ball, but found that Gawain's shot was very cunning and the falling speed was obviously faster than expected. When he arrived in a hurry, there was no room to complete the swing.
Hit the ball.
what to do?
Obviously doubles matches are handled differently than singles matches.
Bob simply turned his back to the court and continued to charge forward, waiting for the tennis ball to fall in front of him, then made a forehand movement like fishing for the moon in the sea, and hit it lightly:
Hit the ball under the crotch.
Roar!
As the tennis ball drew a thrilling trajectory, a burst of exclamations erupted from Court No. 2, as if the heart was about to break free and burst out.
At the same time, the other three players on the court all moved.
Mike immediately moved laterally, moving in small steps continuously, creating the illusion that his figures were constantly overlapping, and kept alert in the center of the court.
Tim also quickly moved toward the net, but his steps were obviously not as firm as Mike's. After all, he was still not familiar with doubles, and his eyes kept looking back for Gawain.
Gawain was surfing the net because Bob's crotch shot was diagonal and returned to his position, but he immediately realized that the net was blocked and Bob's moon ball was far beyond his hitting range.
, his footsteps immediately turned around and ran wildly.
It took me a little while to realize that the doubles lines on both sides were much wider. From a three-dimensional perspective, there was a lot more space for the tennis ball to fly. Naturally, it would be easier for Bob to complete the overhead pass.
Some, he can completely pull the tennis ball higher and deeper.
On the other hand, Gao Wen's previous overhead shot landed accurately on the diagonal bottom line triangle area, and the entire hitting idea was still limited to the singles line.
So, how much more hitting room can the width of the doubles line increase?
But the problem is that even if Gawain calculates it, his touch may not be able to keep up, because the tennis ball is already close at hand and there is no time to hesitate.
One punch, one leap, one pick.
Copy and paste.
Gawain, like Bob, completed a crotch shot with his back to the court, but it was obvious that Gawain's understanding of the court space still hadn't changed, and he tried to pull more in the lateral position, but the height was a little inaccurate.
The entire parabolic flight trajectory can show the hesitation in the feel at the moment of hitting the ball.
ah!
Amid the exclamations of the audience, Mike moved sideways, completed a badminton-style chop and block above his head, and slammed the tennis ball down hard.
However, the exclamations had not had time to dissipate. They were rising one after another, and the bustling sound was felt again.
Tim moved laterally and accurately blocked Mike's high-pressure ball. He swept his forehand in an attempt to complete a volley-style kill.
As a result, Bob, who was quickly launched into the net for the second time, took a forward step. The telepathy of the twin brothers was fully demonstrated at this point. From offense to defense, it was completely seamless. Bob was in time and suddenly stepped forward.
He took a big step, pressed directly to the left corner of Tim's position, and blocked the shot!
Landing, rebounding, landing again.
Everything happened so fast, in the blink of an eye, it was over in just one point.
The Bryan brothers had the last laugh in this wave of strong confrontation between offense and defense with incredible tacit cooperation——
Break point!
Ah! Ahhh!
The audience at the scene all raised their arms and cheered, and the No. 2 stadium was extremely noisy.
The Bryan brothers could also feel the surging passion. Then, the two brothers ran towards each other in small steps, jumped up, and completed a chest-bumping celebration in the air, like dolphins.
This is the iconic celebration of the Bryan brothers. This shows that the point just now was exciting and exciting, and the two brothers also felt the pressure deeply.
The whole place was thunderous!
Only by truly watching such a hand-to-hand, bayonet-slashing game at close range can we deeply feel the excitement, and no one in the audience is exempt.
Including Tim and Gawain.
Tim stood up straight, feeling a little regretful that his control of the last rebound volley was still not enough. As a result, Bob, who was slapped and rushed to complete the net.
But Tim heard shouts from behind him, turned his head and saw Gawain with a smile on his face, raised his right fist to hit his chest, and then made a wolf howling mouth gesture, as if he was encouraging Tim to cheer with him.
Tim slowly lowered his head, then turned and walked towards the bottom line:
