Chapter 1043 Dinghai Shenzhen
"Huh..."
Be humble and calm.
Be humble and calm!
Close your eyes and repeat it silently three times, truly calming yourself down.
See, that's what competitive sports are all about.
Ranking is just a number. On-the-spot performance and condition are the key. As long as the two teams stand on the field, everything is possible.
Otherwise, the incident in which the vice-captain overthrows the leader in a football match would not have happened, and the "black eight miracle" in a basketball game would not have happened either.
If he starts to take his victory for granted, or that his overwhelming victory is a matter of course, then he will be close to losing.
It's not just because "Pride makes people regress", but more because he has set an expectation for himself, and the actual game fails to meet the expectation, or even the expectation is subverted by the opponent, then he will start to get irritated, disappointed, angry, confused, distracted, and finally completely lose control of the game.
Positioning yourself correctly, adjusting your mindset, and staying calm are always one of the most important aspects of competitive sports.
actually.
Gao Wen found it a little funny. He thought that he would not become proud and complacent. He thought that he would not lose his mind. After all, he was no longer a child.
But the reality is not so.
Sometimes, you know you shouldn’t do something but you still can’t avoid it; sometimes, you know you shouldn’t make the same mistake again but you still fall into the same ditch; sometimes, you know you have made the right choice but when the time comes, things still can’t go as planned.
See, he was stupid too.
This is a good thing.
At least, he realized this. Otherwise, he would never know and over time, a demon would form in his heart that he could never break through. That would be really bad.
Be modest and prudent.
Gawain reminded himself again.
Take a deep breath.
Take a deep breath.
The referee's voice came to my ears, "Time is up."
The break between games is over and the game starts again.
After opening his eyes, Gao Wen stood up and jogged back to the baseline. He was ready.
"0:3".
The score looked scary; but in fact, because Venus served first, Gawain was only one service game behind, which was not serious.
Next, it was Gao Wen’s second serve game.
“15:0”, ACE.
"30:0", serve goes straight to the winner.
"40:0", outside corner of the first zone, with a forehand straight line shot against the wall, "One-Two-Punch", the winning point.
"Game, High", ACE.
Then--
"Love-game", easily holds serve. Time taken: 58 seconds.
Boom! Li Zhe and his friends all raised their arms and cheered, one by one, clenching their fists and cheering. They couldn't believe their eyes and exchanged surprised glances with each other.
In just one break between games, Gao Wen made quick adjustments, gained his footing effortlessly, and got the game back on track.
Just fifty-eight seconds, less than a minute, and the game was over.
Compared to the "love-game", Gao Wen's rapid improvement in serving condition in this game was really impressive.
Wu Di's eyes were full of envy. Due to his height, ACE has always been difficult for him. At this moment, watching Gao Wen's serve was like drinking water.
"How did he do that?"
"How did he do that!?"
Wu Di grabbed Li Zhe and exclaimed repeatedly.
If this were a training match, Gao Wen would definitely share his experience without hesitation:
Drop points and changes.
To sum it up simply, these are the two points.
In the first three games, although Gawain lost everything, he did not do nothing. He observed, tried, and tested, and Gawain was still the same Gawain.
In the first service game, Gao Wen focused more on testing Venus' forehand to see how she habitually handled the ball when receiving, hitting and changing it.
In the second service game, Gao Wen's serve focused on angles and changes, mobilizing Venus and testing Venus's hitting method during movement.
At the same time, by using the superposition of rotation and speed changes, Venus's batting stability is tested, and naturally, the power of the serve is improved.
Let me repeat again, in tennis, victory is not determined by who is faster, who has more power, or who has more flashy spin.
If it is understandable that Wu Di, who was standing on the sidelines and had no personal experience, could not figure out what was going on for a while, then it is not good for Venus, who was standing on the court and lost a game without knowing why, but still did not sense the crisis.
really--
Then, in Venus's serve, Gawain's counterattack came.
There is no doubt that Venus is a good server. She may not be a cannon breaker, but her serve, speed and power are still threatening.
The problem is that there is no variation, all serves are flat hits.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
For a pure flat serve, unless you can keep bombarding like Karlovic, the situation will become bad once the rhythm and line are figured out by the opponent. The serving masters like Isner, Raonic, Federer and Querrey will hide different changes.
Rhythm control is also a very important part of a tennis game.
In Venus' third serve, Gao Wen did not pursue the quality of receiving the serve, but had to hit the serve back first no matter what -
It doesn't matter if it's out of bounds, the key is to touch the ball effectively.
Of course, effective touching the ball is the first step, and effective hitting the ball is the second step. Applying pressure little by little prevents Venus from quickly scoring points through serving, forcing Venus to hit the ball on the second and third shots after serving.
The ultimate goal is not to create a tug-of-war, but to require Venus to plan for subsequent attacks.
Simply put, Venus' brain must be working. As long as she starts thinking, her shots will change, otherwise she will fall into Gawain's trap.
Originally, Gao Wen did not expect to turn the situation around in just one game. This serving game was just a test to keep patience and energy.
But unexpectedly, Venus's bottom line was still weak.
His wrapping of the tennis ball was too rigid and rough. He always used straight and flat shots to create pressure at the net, but his forehand lacked explosive power, and it was difficult for him to create sustained pressure through his offense. His forehand power was often intermittent and could not form a coherent continuity.
Back and forth, Venus got three game points, but missed them all; instead, when she faced an offensive opportunity, she wanted to use too much force when hitting the ball flat, and ended up pressing too hard, causing it to hit the net directly, creating layers of white waves, and then, giving away a break point.
Venus was a little confused and a little nervous——
What happened?
call.
He let out a long breath, regained some composure, and faced a break point for the first time in the game.
On the break point, Venus' first serve failed to go in, and her second serve was weak, which was caught by Gao Wen's forehand, who hit the ball back with a skateboard.
Be straightforward.
Deep middle area.
Venus was squeezed and managed to hit a forehand shot, but it was completely of no quality.
Gao Wen would never miss an opportunity. He took a step forward and went straight to the baseline, sweeping the ball diagonally with his forehand and hitting the ball powerfully.
Boom! Vigorous and mighty.
Venus moved sideways in a panic. Although she was only 191 cm tall, she moved quite easily and arrived there in just three strides.
Forehand, hurriedly picked up the ball.
Just as Venus hit the ball with her forehand, she realized that it was topspin! Strong topspin! The tennis ball was spinning strongly as it hit the string.
The rhythm and speed of Venus' forehand swing were obviously not enough. She still tried to hit the ball with a flat shot, and she didn't have time to complete the closing action of the swing.
The tennis ball flew out.
Boom! The sky rocket went off.
Hit it directly and fly away.
Gao Wen easily converted his first break point of the game.
