Match Point

"0:15", the referee reported the score.

Gasping for breath, Harris looked up at Gawain who was on the opposite side of the court. Gawain clenched his fist lightly in celebration, but he didn't cheer loudly. He looked back with resolute eyes, as if the return of the ball just now was really a big hit. It's easy, but between the understatement, the momentum of tit-for-tat confrontation hits the face.

Harris couldn't help breathing, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, he licked his lips, as if he could taste the smell of blood, then turned around and asked the ball boy standing at the back of the court for the ball, ready for the next serve.

But Gao Wen noticed that Harris still glanced at the point where the ball was returned just now from the corner of his eye. Even though he couldn't see his eyes clearly across half of the court, he could still feel Harris' emotional fluctuations—

The biggest advantage of returning a serving winning point is that although scoring is important, it is more important to create psychological pressure, especially the pressure on the server. More precisely, this is an imposing score.

The decisive battle has just sounded the horn, and the opening is a battle of momentum. Whether it is Harris or Gao Wen, both sides are working hard to seize the commanding heights at the beginning and suppress the opponent, so Harris chose to serve. The strong return serve gives a wall-mounted counterattack.

Not to be outdone!

Between you and me, gunpowder is filling the air.

At the end of the first point, Gao Wen did not leave immediately, but still stood there, staring deeply at Harris—

Even though Harris didn't face each other, the air in the stadium was surging, and the impact of momentum could still be felt. Gawain was conveying his belief through his eyes, and the oppression and confrontation of momentum had quietly unfolded.

After a slight pause, Gao Wen looked away, jumped twice on the spot, moved his knees and ankles, everything felt good, and then walked towards the second zone, preparing for the second serve.

Snapped. Snapped. Snapped.

The rhythmic sound of Harris hitting the ball echoed on the court. He looked up at Gawain's position, and then...bent his knees, arched his back, swung his arms, and served!

rub!

The tennis ball flew towards the outer corner with all its strength, pulled out a large angle, and still aimed at Gao Wen's backhand, trying to pull Gao Wen directly out of the doubles line.

The tactical intention is very clear, but Harris still hopes to pursue some speed and power, so the side spin is not thin enough, and the service point is still in the deep area of ​​the service area. This also means that the angle of the outer corner is not widened by the outside line. Leave some space.

At the same time, Harris' gaze also followed Gao Wen's movement, and he was ready to hit the ball with both hands, whether it was a forehand or a backhand.

It can be seen from the line of sight that Gao Wen's footsteps have been completely pulled out, and his body is stretched out like a roc spreading its wings. Because he has to hold the racket with both hands, the stretching of the body is restricted to some extent, and it is difficult to complete it in the limit state Introducing the racket; coupled with the good speed of serving the ball from the outer corner, the time and space for returning the ball are squeezed by both hands.

In the end, Gao Wen had no choice but to use a machete to slash down a shot, making full use of the contact between the racket surface and the tennis ball to form a lot of friction, and forced the tennis ball back, but at the moment the shot was taken, his wrist continued to Cut down to add a little tail kick to the spin of the tennis ball.

On the other side of the net, Harris noticed Gao Wen's way of returning the ball, and couldn't help but secretly clenched his fists:

It's done!

Harris's mind tightened, and his serve strategy worked. Although Gao Wen successfully received the ball, not only was he unable to launch a counterattack, he even failed to successfully complete the regular shot—

Cutting the ball means no power and no speed.

Harris can now take his time preparing to return the ball, keeping his eyes on the ball and walking quickly to keep up.

Gao Wen cut a high and floating return ball, aiming at a large diagonal line and pulling out a full parabola. The tactical intention is very obvious. Obviously, he hopes to lengthen the line and slow down the rhythm. He hopes that Harris' return ball will be slower. Buy yourself time to return to defense.

But because Harris's serve had the upper hand, Gao Wen just managed to return the ball, and it was very difficult to control the line. If you don't pay attention, you may fly out of the baseline and go out of bounds. Therefore, Harris is still in place quickly, three steps and two steps. Arrived at the position where the return ball landed, waiting for the ball to come.

Wait, wait.

The waiting time was a bit long. Harris kept adjusting his footsteps, looking for the right hitting point and rhythm, preparing to give Gao Wen a fatal blow, and then finally waited until the tennis ball hit the ground. Harris adjusted in small steps and turned sideways to the forehand in advance. As soon as he raised his hand, he hit the ball hard with a downward pressure.

but!

The spin of the tennis ball was fiercer than expected, and the rebound speed was faster than expected. After waiting for too long, the ball seemed to come too fast, and it was necessary to make a shot just after swinging the racket. Harris, who was originally calm, was a little Impatient, at the last moment, increase the swing speed and hammer down directly.

The center of gravity of the body staggered forward for half a step, exerting force fiercely.

puff.

The tennis ball hit the net hard, made a muffled sound, and returned to Harris' court, rolling alone.

"oh!"

The audience let out a disappointed voice, extremely sad.

Harris hugged his head in disbelief, and the ball went directly to the net at such a chance~www.wuxiahere.com~ As soon as his knees softened, he squatted down.

"ah!"

In stark contrast, Gao Wen clenched his fists heavily and roared like a lion at the other side of the field. His passionate roar raised his morale to a new level in an instant, and he declared to Harris that he was definitely not What a mess.

"Ahhh!"

Gawain waved his fist vigorously, and the Bruins players on the sidelines of the field all stood up with their fists clenched, bursting out with astonishing energy.

"Wow, very nice serve return, very very beautiful!"

"We all know that returning a serve is a technology that pays attention to anticipation and touch. The best serving returning players in the world today are Djokovic and Murray. They are very good at reading and analyzing the opponent's serve. , and then wrap the power and speed of tennis with the top feel, and then complete the counterattack."

"This young player from the Bruins showed good anticipation. He made correct anticipation of the opponent's serve line and rotation twice in a row, and then counterattacked with a solid backhand attack twice in a row, and once scored directly. , Making an opponent's mistake once, the performance is really impressive."

In the live broadcast room, Sofar was dutifully using the gap between the ball and the ball to quickly explain.

"On the surface, this point seems to be Harris' mistake, but in fact, the opponent's back serve is hidden. The control of the entire rotation is very special, with a full tail force, and the jump after the bounce is very fast, which obviously broke Harris. What’s more, Harris waited a little longer for the shot, took the shot time a bit, shot too early, and was eventually involved in the spin.”

"Wow, I have to say, this young Bruins player brought a little surprise at the beginning."
