Match Point

"30:40".

Gao Wen sent an unconventional ACE, and easily saved the first break point. For hard courts, the importance of serving can be seen.

Shibahara Shuhei didn't think much about it, because Gao Wen's serve strength and speed were not intimidating, it was more like a dribbling ball. He was more annoyed at his misjudgment, and blamed himself for the reason of the ace, and then focused on Strength, ready to face the next break point.

But soon, Gao Wen told Shibahara Shuhei with his actual performance—

Luck is often a part of strength; in many cases, it is also a deviation created after strength reaches a certain level.

In the next minute, we can see some clues.

After the serve, a forehand straight line and a backhand slash diagonally, the quick connection and solid shot completely nailed the opponent to the forehand position, and he watched the tennis ball fall into the space behind him in a daze. Here, The tennis ball is there, seemingly close at hand, but unable to make any response, as if separated by a Pacific Ocean.

Gao Wen returned the ball neatly and saved a break point again.

No chance at all—

The landing point of the entire hitting line is all in Gao Wen's calculation.

Starting from the close approach in the middle of the serve, Shibahara Shuhei's space for returning the ball was squeezed, and the footstep adjustment was also slightly affected; to the following forehand, he pulled his footsteps in a straight line, forcing Shibahara Shuhei to move laterally in a panic, despite the distance of his feet Quickly, it is still fast in place even when it is out of balance, and it returns the ball.

But I didn't expect that Gao Wen didn't plan to score with the straight forehand shot at all. Instead, he laid the groundwork for the ball. His eyes never left the tennis ball. When Shuhei Shibahara barely finished touching the ball to defend, Gao Wen had already moved ahead —

Waiting at the position of the backhand slash early, ready to hit the ball, and observing Shibahara Shuhei's stance, he hit a two-handed backhand slash steadily, the return was fast and heavy, and the entire two-handed backhand The strike was very solid, and the foot that was clearly in place early was fully established.

Shibahara Shuhei subconsciously wanted to make up for the gap in the forehand, but was caught off guard by Gao Wen's back kick and stood there pitifully.

What is the overall layout?

This is called the overall layout. Create enough pressure through your own shots to force the opponent to return the ball according to your expectations. It is like creating a trap in chess. Watch the opponent step by step into the trap, and then kill it with one blow.

Looking back at the ACE of the previous point from this point, Shibahara Shuhei felt that his thinking speed could not keep up. The fact is that Gao Wen did not leave another chance.

After calming down and calming down, Gao Wen's shot quality has improved by more than one level, from strength to speed, from placement to spin, from tactics to execution, and his state has been improved in all aspects. On the surface, it seems that he is facing two break points. On the precipice, but Gawain's score is completely effortless.

With no time to breathe, Shibahara Shuhei couldn't keep up with the rhythm after a gust of wind and rain, both in the body and the brain.

For the next point, a low-force serve from a large outside corner.

Obviously the speed is not fast, the speed at the moment of taking the shot is only 170 kilometers per hour, but the landing point is accurate, and there is an external spin after landing. Shuhei Shibahara saw the speed of the ball fluctuating and believed that he could catch it, but he missed it after moving laterally. By the time he hit the ball, the tennis ball had already flown over his head.

ACE!

This is clearly bullying Shibahara Shuhei's height! Although they were both directly scored by the ACE, the two serves used completely different hitting methods. The elusiveness of the entire serve routine immediately raised the threat level by several steps.

Another point, a flat serve from the middle.

There is no spin or gimmicks, a completely flat shot, and a serve at a speed of 185 kilometers per hour does not seem to be a heavy-duty serve, but the sudden increase in speed once again broke Shibahara Shuhei's predictions, changing the tactical combination for three consecutive serving stages , especially the increase in speed disrupts the rhythm.

Facing the tennis ball coming close to him, Shibahara Shuhei did not dodge in time, and could not stretch his catching movement at all, so he barely blocked it with his racket.

The tennis ball flew high into the sun, and then slowly landed in the teeing area on Gawain's side. At this time, Gawain had rushed to wait for him, and he hit a high pressure again.

Faced with such an easy shot, Gao Wen completed it with ease, like a stroll in the garden. It should have been a crisis of consecutive break points, but Gao Wen's handling method made the situation tense and suspenseless.

Shuhei Shibahara just stretched out his racket symbolically, but there was no chance at all, and then the tennis ball had already formed two jumps-like table tennis, after bouncing twice on the ground, it was a dead ball.

There was a flurry of wind and clouds, and Shibahara Shuhei had not had time to recover from his breath. Gao Wen had already scored four points in a row. From facing two break points to successfully securing the serve, it took less than two minutes before and after. It has been reversed.

When Gawain and Jiron faced each other, his advantage in tactical layout was not obvious, but now facing Shibahara Shuhei, the whole gap suddenly widened. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"Ahhh!"

In the stands of the stadium, there was a voice of raising their arms and shouting. Although the Bruins had already secured the victory in this game before Gao Wen appeared on the field, the new season kicked off, and the home audience still applauded very strongly. Looking forward to A hearty victory set the tone for the season, and one and two are cheering for the team's young players.

However, amidst the applause, a girl can be seen jumping high, waving her hands vigorously, and cheering passionately:

"Come on! Gao Wen!"

"Come on! Gao Wen!"

Such an exuberant and enthusiastic support made all the eyes of the surrounding cast over, but the girl was not stage-frightened, she just waved the Bruins baseball cap vigorously, enthusiastically boosting the morale of the scene, and even other spectators also shouted. There was a good laugh.

The home court of the Bruins, the Los Angeles Tennis Center is not big. It was put into use as early as 1984. The largest court can only accommodate 3,800 spectators. It is far from being a top tennis venue, but on the West Coast, as the University of California UCLA's home court is famous.

Today, in order to welcome the opening of the new season, although the opponents are weak and it is difficult to pose a threat to the Bruins, about 500 people came to the scene to cheer for the tennis team. At this time, the impassioned and youthful cheers Let the audience all cast their eyes.

The clear and enthusiastic cheers made Gao Wen raise his head and looked towards the source of the sound. He saw Elena Badin's youthful and beautiful figure at a glance, with her long and smooth hair tied into a high ponytail. Swaying gently with the jumping footsteps, it seems to be able to see the golden sun dancing on the hair tips.
