Gao Wen stood behind the serving line, facing the wall, twelve meters away, practicing the placement of the serve.
The length of the tennis court is 23.77 meters, and half court is 11.885 meters, so when practicing serving against the wall, twelve meters is also used as the standard; a "Nine-nine-eighty-one square grid" is neatly pasted on the wall with tape
”, requiring each serve to land accurately in the target grid.
Just one column near the bottom line of the serve is divided into nine landing points, and Gao Wen was able to hit it accurately every time he practiced serving.
Wait, isn't it said that serving is Gawain's weakness?
First of all, this is practice, there is no pressure, and the hit rate will naturally be greatly improved.
Secondly, Gawain's serve is a weakness, but the real weakness lies in strength, not placement; and, even strength is relative. Don't forget that the height of 193 cm guarantees the height of the serve's entry point. With height,
The advantage is to press down with all your strength, which ensures the height of the tennis ball passing the net and the speed of hitting the ball.
Another legendary cannon player, Ivo-Karlovic, is 211 centimeters tall and can be called a giant.
Height can often be an innate advantage in serving, but tennis is not basketball, and height is not always better.
For a long time in the development of professional tennis, the general view is that the optimal height of a tennis player should be between 180 cm and 188 cm. Taller is not always better.
First, when you move your steps and your height exceeds a certain value, your movement becomes inflexible and even seems cumbersome.
Secondly, the center of gravity is too high. When facing a backspin ball, the player must squat low enough to pull the tennis ball up, but players who are too tall often "cannot squat down."
Among the "Big Four", Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are both 185 centimeters, and Novak Djokovic is 188 centimeters, all within this ideal range; only Andy Mourinho is 188 centimeters.
Andy-Murray is 191 centimeters, a little taller, but not much.
However, with the advancement of training methods, among the players born after 1995, the number of players with a height of over 190 centimeters has gradually begun to increase. They have the advantages brought by their height, but also have excellent movement and footwork, and are innately
Conditions are transformed more efficiently.
The height of 193 centimeters does bring more positive effects to Gao Wen's height, but what really limits his serve is his strength.
If the strength does not increase, on the one hand, the speed of the serve will not increase, on the other hand, the tail power of the serve will be relatively weak, and it will not be able to create more threats.
Gao Wen also knows that his strength is insufficient, so when serving, he practices the landing point more carefully, and then makes full use of his height advantage to make up for his shortcomings, hoping to create more opportunities in the serving process - from the landing point
In terms of accuracy, Gawain has always been good.
boom!
boom!
The sound of tennis balls hitting the wall echoed in the court with a wonderful rhythm.
Soon, Gao Wen discovered that the training manual provided by the system was indeed different, more refined, more detailed, and more targeted.
For example, when serving from an inside corner, aim at the dead center inside the service area. At this landing point, the system also puts forward more detailed training requirements, not just flat shots and spin shots.
Flat hitting, as the name suggests, is a powerful hit. Tennis balls lack rotation and go straight. They are fully injected with ball speed and power. The average ball speed of top serving masters' flat hitting is more than 200 kilometers per hour. Daily training is to use all the strength and practice landing.
point.
The system proposes different ways of brushing the ball, that is, the time it takes for the racket surface to brush the tennis ball. The shorter the time, the lower the bounce of the tennis ball after it hits the ground; the longer the time, the higher the bounce of the tennis ball after it hits the ground.
In other words, although the flat shot lacks changes in spin and only wins with speed, the system still requires that the flat shot can also change and disrupt the opponent's catching rhythm.
Imagine that your opponent sees a flat serve and takes it for granted to receive the serve in the comfortable zone between the waist and chest. As a result, the bounce height of the tennis ball is outside the comfort zone. They must make adjustments again. If the adjustment is not timely or in place,
If so, either directly catch the ball, or return a dish.
The rotating ball makes full use of the friction between the racket and the tennis ball to create changes. The speed and power are correspondingly weakened. The average serving speed may be reduced to 180 kilometers per hour or even lower, but the top spin ball, back spin ball, and side spin ball are
Changes can make the opponent's judgment more difficult.
The system also puts forward strict training requirements, including top spin, bottom spin, external spin, internal spin, and the two most special methods, the sudden jump of adding force and the stagnant force of reducing force——
The former is tail strength, and the bounce speed after landing is faster than expected; the latter is to lure the enemy deeper, and after landing and bouncing, there is no power and it is almost impossible to move forward. The essence of the changes in the two kinds of serves is to change
The rhythm disrupts the opponent's prediction and forces the opponent to rush.
In other words, for just one landing point, the system proposes twelve combinations, and each method requires ten correct serves.
If the serving effect does not meet the expectations, then it must be served again until the expected effect is met.
boom!
boom!
One, and then another, and then another.
In the blink of an eye, I have practiced more than 150 serves. All the tennis balls in the supermarket shopping cart have been emptied. The mustard yellow tennis balls are scattered in the corners of the tennis court. The sun is slowly climbing above my head, and sweat has already covered my head.
His clothes were soaked, he was bathed in the golden sunshine, and his hair was steaming, as if he was practicing hard skills.
Although this is just a point-serve practice, if you want to complete all the practice of the serve, I am afraid it still requires years of preparation and cannot be achieved overnight; but Gaowen can still feel the happiness and joy overflowing in his chest, and his smile is there
The corners of his mouth widened as he gasped for breath.
Because you can feel the joy of sweating profusely after returning to the court; and because you can get rewards for your efforts - the system should be calculating the growth potential value, and the results are definitely exciting.
Judging from game experience, it is relatively easy to upgrade in the early stages. Killing one or two Goblin mobs can accumulate 100% experience. So he has just practiced more than 150 serves. Even if he cannot directly upgrade, the experience accumulated
It should be no small matter...that's weird.
“Growth potential: 37.05%”
What?
One hundred and fifty serves, the growth potential only increases by 1%?
