Squeak, the sharp sound of the soles rubbing against the ground exploded like thunder in the indoor stadium. With the emergency braking of the left foot, the hot sweat was pulled by the centrifugal force and flew out, dragging from a circle to an oval.
Then it hits the ground, splashes and blooms.
tread.
The muscle power of his left calf exploded and released instantly, and he rushed out in another direction with a long stride. His light and agile steps disappeared in the strong wind in the blink of an eye, leaving only an afterimage that slowly dissipated in the air.
Along with Sampras's voice, he simply hit the beat with both hands, matching his own commands, controlling the rhythm of Gawain's movement like a metronome for piano practice, watching Gawain's footsteps intently, his eyes flashing like an eagle.
The light of his eyes never misses any detail.
"Tip your toes to the ground and stay light."
"Toes! Watch your toes!"
In front of him, Gawain's movements were obviously tired, but Sampras still did not relax at all. To be precise, it was precisely because Gawain had reached the limit of his physical fitness. Due to the influence of fatigue, his movements, batting movements, etc. would all be affected.
deformation, so more attention is needed.
After all, only by paying attention to details bit by bit during training can we ensure that the conditioned reflex movements can achieve the best results during the competition.
But at this time, it was really, really difficult for Gawain——
Because he needs to fight one against two.
On the opposite side of the court, Peart and Russell stood side by side, one on the left and one on the right, each guarding half of the court, and then took turns to complete the shot.
Over the court, there were two tennis balls flying. First, Russell's ball was waiting for Gawain to hit Russell's ball back; then Peart's ball flew over again.
This is a very demanding and difficult foot training, mobility training and physical training.
Of course, neither Peart nor Russell will hit the ball with all their strength. They mainly feed the ball, and topspin balls account for the majority. The purpose is not to let Gao Wen get into the rhythm of hitting the ball;
Wen enters a cycle of constantly moving, hitting the ball, moving again, and hitting the ball again.
Then, intersperse variation balls.
To put it simply, Peart suddenly hits a flat ball and will not attack with all his strength, but the flight arc of the tennis ball will indeed be flattened, disrupting Gawain's movement inertia with sudden changes; at the same time, Russell
On the next shot, the ball will be returned with super topspin, slowing down the rhythm and giving Gao Wen time to return to his position and adjust.
Come and go. Come and go.
This is how the cycle continues, and the only requirement is:
Can't drop the ball.
You cannot hit the ball after two jumps, you cannot go out of bounds, and you cannot hit the net.
In addition, Sampras stood behind Gawain, paying attention to Gawain's pace and breathing adjustments, constantly paying attention to details, and giving Gawain reminders.
Such training can be called abnormal——
From Gawain himself.
To be precise, it should come from the system, but now the "credit" belongs to Gawain. Faced with Sampras' perverted look, Gawain can only make a fool of himself.
In the first two days of training, Gao Wen was easily in a hurry because the entire time for prediction, movement, decision-making, and hitting was compressed, and the rhythm was easily disrupted. He would often fall apart after less than twenty rounds.
Ball, the effect of such training is difficult to satisfy.
But today, Gawain has gradually mastered it, and there is no problem in thirty or forty rounds; moreover, Gawain will also start to launch a counterattack——
Occasionally, he would take a surprise shot.
For example, the cooperation between Peart and Russell was a little slack, the hitting rhythm was not so closely connected, and the topspin was slightly too high, giving Gauvin a little breathing space, and then Gauvin would seize the opportunity to reverse the situation.
, turning defense into offense.
Just like this time.
Tap tap tap.
Kick off! Brake! Turn! Hit the ball!
Before Gawain took action, Russell had already realized that the situation was not good, because he still failed to control the spin of his return ball and was caught by Gawain.
"ah!"
Russell let out a cry, but Gao Wen showed no mercy. He snatched half the shot with his forehand, quickly pressed down and shot, and the tennis ball pierced through like an arrow in an instant.
Russell, in a state of embarrassment.
Fortunately, Gao Wen couldn't open the angle and could only aim at Russell's half. Russell's defense was easier, and he still got there quickly in time.
However, Gawain did not relax, and immediately moved his steps laterally. Because Peart also noticed Gawain's surprise attack, he immediately hit a flat ball in coordination, taking advantage of every opportunity to disrupt Gawain's rhythm again.
ah!
This time it was Gawain who exclaimed. It was still too difficult to fight one against two. He tried his best to beat the horse and rushed to it. He blocked the shot with his backhand and almost pulled a moon ball back; and he stopped and turned again.
, rushed towards the other side to deal with Russell's incoming ball.
However, after all, my steps were still a little messy, I didn't find the hitting point correctly, and I pulled a topspin on my forehand. As a result, the length control was slightly off, and the baseline was pulled out.
"ah……"
Gawain looked up to the sky and sighed, holding his head, very dissatisfied. Although he did not speak, his voice already conveyed enough information:
Just a little bit, just a little bit, you shouldn't be so greedy with your forehand control.
Bang bang bang.
Sampras applauded from behind.
"There is no need to be so upset. My performance this time has been very good."
"This time, it lasted for 71 rounds. Gao Wen broke through 70 rounds for the first time and broke the record. Well done."
Sampras showed a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.
Looking towards the other side of the court, Russell and Peart were already very tired. Although they worked together to take care of half of the court, they could still feel the impact of Gawain at all times.
Moreover, after being in a stalemate for more than sixty shots, Gawain was able to launch a counterattack and even came close to reversing the situation. If Peart had not keenly seized the opportunity, I am afraid that if there were more shots in this super long tug-of-war, Gawain might still have
A real comeback.
But Gawain had no way to respond at this moment, his chest was heaving violently like a bellows, and his knees felt weak.
"Adjust your breathing, Gawain, adjust your breathing, inhale, exhale...inhale, exhale..."
Peart was also panting a little, but the voice came from the other side immediately.
The more overdrawn you are, the more you need to grit your teeth and persevere, slowly adjust and recover, let your body adapt to the intensity, and slowly relax, otherwise your heart may really explode.
Gawain didn't speak, he just raised his racket and gestured towards Peart, and then started walking back and forth along the baseline, slowly adjusting his breathing.
vomit.
My stomach was churning, and my tongue seemed to be able to taste the taste of Kung Pao Chicken last night.
After being exhausted, his mind went blank and he couldn't think at all. He had no idea how he persisted.
But what is more important now is to firmly remember this moment and this feeling, and let the brain work again, thinking about the reason why the defensive counterattack just did not succeed——
Apart from the objective factor of being one against two, what other reasons are there?
One hundred percent, Gawain said, devote one hundred percent of your energy and do what you say.
