Chapter 1135: Outrageous Mistakes

“Huh!”

Gao Wen blew out the gun on his racket, and without even looking at Zverev, he walked towards the baseline of the first zone, preparing for the next point.

He did it on purpose.

hundred percent!

Obviously, this match was completely different from the two players' original encounter in the Challenger Tournament, not just in terms of level, but everything was different.

But in fact, one thing remains the same -

mentality.

Although judging from the results, Gawain is the defender and Zverev is the challenger, in fact, the situations of the two players are slightly different.

As a gifted player, Zverev still refuses to believe the facts and admit the current situation. He still believes that he is the defender.

Gawain has the maturity and wisdom to survive a difficult situation, and he clearly knows Zverev's abilities, but he still maintains the mentality of a challenger.

As a result, the two players had slightly different estimates of the game, their own positions, and tactical layouts, and their expectations were completely different.

In this regard, we can get some clues from the tense situation before the game.

After the game started, the trend of the first two games was actually a surprise. Even Gao Wen himself did not expect the score to be the current number.

However, surprises are part of competitive sports, and now that the score has come to a head, the situation may have changed slightly.

At this time, how players deal with unexpected situations is also part of the game.

Gawain keenly grasped Zverev's mental fluctuations, and then launched a strong attack, completing further provocation with a small move.

Now, what weighs heavily on Zverev's shoulders is not only pressure, but also anger, frustration, shame and other emotions. These negative emotions will produce an impact and a fluctuation -

Or, you start to doubt yourself: Are the pre-match tactics correct? Is the game state normal? Is it sure there will be no problem if it continues like this?

Or, you start to get carried away by impulse, being blinded by anger, your judgment and thinking abilities become a mess, and you finish hitting the ball with emotion.

Whether it is the former or the latter, the impact on the game is profound and far-reaching, from basic judgment to shot selection to shooting feeling and so on.

It is precisely because of this that Gao Wen needs to stay calm. Although he just held his serve with great difficulty and wanted to celebrate very much, he still restrained himself.

He walked back to the baseline, ready to continue receiving the serve, as if the six-minute game just now was just a little bit of sprinkling.

Zverev: I feel frustrated, just frustrated.

Because it was too unexpected and shocking, he missed the best opportunity to vent his anger. When he was waiting to react, nothing he did seemed right -

There was no way to throw the racket or shout. No matter what I did now, I would look like a madman. All my emotions were stuck in my chest, and I felt extremely uncomfortable.

In the end, Zverev could only vent his anger on tennis.

He first turned to the caddy on his right to ask for balls, but he slapped back all the tennis balls thrown by the caddy with disgust. Then he turned to his left and continued to ask for balls from the caddy, and he slapped all the tennis balls back in the same way. Only when the caddy on his right indicated with both hands that there were no more tennis balls did he regain his composure.

Turn back to the right again and ask the caddy for the ball again.

The caddies on both sides are so innocent.

But trouble is trouble. Fortunately, Zverev did not use violence, otherwise the situation might not be like this.

“2:0”.

Next is Zverev's serve.

The first point caused the whole audience to exclaim.

In fact, when one is emotional, all technical aspects are prone to obvious fluctuations, and the most stable and reliable one is the serve.

Because the serving action is often repeated countless times in a row, muscle memory is the most stable; and there is no need to face the opponent's impact, it depends entirely on oneself, which also means that among a series of technical fluctuations, the deviation of the serving action is relatively small.

Zverev's serve still maintained its standard.

One zone, one serve, no emphasis on speed and power, but a wide outside corner serve, creating containment through the landing point and line, with outstanding results.

Although Gao Wen completed the contact with the ball, his body had been pulled outside the doubles line, and the quality of his return was not good, with no speed, no power, and no rotation; the landing point was not bad, but the depth was not enough, almost a little deeper in the half court, which made it easier to attack.

Zverev immediately stepped forward, standing on the baseline, and attacked with his forehand without hesitation. The result was -

Fly away.

It was a great attacking opportunity, but Zverev's forehand shot was obviously not done well, his racket control was outrageous, and he directly hit a cannon.

Outrageous!

This is outrageous!

It can be seen from here that Zverev is still impatient and tries to directly create winning points through attack. He not only needs to win points, but also needs to save face.

But the more impatient you are, the easier it is to lose control; the more out of control you are, the easier it is to become impatient, and so on and so forth, forming a vicious cycle.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Gao Wen, noticed Zverev's hitting state -

In fact, in a similar situation, if the player is in a passive situation, that is, in such an extreme predicament that he has no time to think, and returns the ball subconsciously, it is easier for him to play a wonderful shot, because he relies not on thinking, but on the body's muscle memory, an instinctive conditioned reflex.

But if the player is in an active offensive mode, he needs to think, judge, and grasp the situation. Too many messy thoughts will interfere and destroy his judgment and technical movements. The result is ridiculous mistakes and the whole situation is out of control.

Just like the shot I just made.

In daily training, I can hit the ball a thousand times without making any mistakes, and I can easily get the winning points, but somehow, I made a mistake.

This is the competition.

Gao Wen realized that his chance had come.

“0:30”, Gao Wen scored the winning point with a forehand diagonal shot.

"0:40", Zverev's forehand diagonal shot went directly out of the baseline.

In a blink of an eye, Zverev lost three points in a row and faced an extreme dilemma in his own serve. If he was broken again...

Pressure is coming.

Under heavy pressure, Zverev's breathing became rapid.

The atmosphere at the scene, which had just been boiling, suddenly became restless because of the absurdity of this game, and many people at the scene booed.

Even casual fans know that Zverev needs his serve.

The reason is very simple. ACE or direct serve is the simplest and most direct way to score. A serve can allow Zverev to calm down and stand firm, and then other technical aspects will also calm down a little. This is the most economical way.

So--

"Game, high..."

Double fault.

On the break point, Zverev made his second double fault of the game and gave up the advantage before he had time to fight.

Then, "0:3", Gao Wen gained two break advantages at the beginning.

And then what?
