Chapter 1216 A small test
Opportunity?
Puy's backhand diagonal shot was aimed at the gap in Gao Wen's backhand, but Gao Wen accurately predicted it and moved at lightning speed to appear on the line in time.
Gao Wen has enough time to draw the racket, swing the racket, exert force, and turn defense into offense. This looks like an opportunity to turn the situation around.
A kick.
With a wave.
Judging from the racket-pulling action, it was indeed the case. Gao Wen was preparing to exert force, but before everyone had time to react, the entire racket swing had already rushed out.
A mention.
A flick.
Gao Wen's two-handed backhand stroke made a large loop similar to a golf shot, extending the contact time between the racket face and the tennis ball to the extreme. One could even clearly feel the strong friction in the continuous collision. Finally, he rubbed the tennis ball and lifted it high.
Huh? What's going on?
The ball had strong topspin and landed shallowly. It could be seen from the parabola that Gawain had hit a high ball. Not only did he not attack, but he also slowed down the tempo.
What shot selection is this?
Use both hands to clap back, draw an arc, go around the neck, and fall along the upward line at a 45-degree angle above the head, increasing friction to the extreme.
Slash!
The tennis ball returned to Pouille's backhand.
At this point you can see Pugh’s youthful vigor and energy as he leaps high into the air, pulling himself up early with a backhand shot.
The posture is very powerful, just like drawing the bow and shooting the eagle.
Puy did not choose to step forward to grab the rising point, but instead took a run-up and then jumped, using this method to find the hitting point and attack from top to bottom.
Perhaps, Puy's two-handed backhand was not capable of actively exerting force, but with this shot, he utilized the combined force of gravity and body weight to instantly burst out with force.
"ah!"
Puyi also burst into sound.
straight line!
Blind spot!
Puy attacked with all his strength. Although he didn't understand why Gawain chose to hit the high ball, he still followed his own style and hit it hard with a hammer.
But……
etc!
Puy poured all his body strength into the attack, reaching extreme power and speed. However, before he landed on the ground, he saw Gawain.
Run at full speed.
Lateral sprint.
Once again, Gawain accurately predicted Pui's batting line - it was open, and it was obviously still open. Although Pui did not understand and had no time to think deeply about the reason why Gawain appeared in his batting line, his head was full of question marks, but for Gawain, prediction was not difficult, and his attention was fully focused.
Push off the ground!
Sprint!
Then, following the direction of the body's forward rush, without braking, he pulled out a big loop with his forehand for the second time in a row -
Pouille's return ball was strongly pressed downward in order to suppress all the topspin of Gauguin's return ball, so it was a signature high-pressure backspin ball.
In response, Gawain once again used super topspin to lift up the tennis ball that was rushing forward through the ground. With a head-turning spin, he could feel the strong friction between the strings and even smell the smell of sparks. Then the tennis ball began to spin at high speed and turned into a mustard yellow mist.
Spin! Spin vigorously!
Like a shooting star.
However, no one put their hands together to make a wish at this time. All the audience's eyes were focused on the tennis ball, which was falling rapidly across the court.
Puy was horrified.
Because Puy had done a fancy move in the previous shot, jumping up to hit the ball, naturally, his reaction speed in adjusting his center of gravity and footsteps after landing was a little slow. When waiting to start a lateral sprint, he seemed a little panicked, running wildly and bumping all the way, his lungs burning like bellows.
The only thing to be thankful for was that although Gawain produced a strong topspin, the ball was not fast; moreover, Gawain was obviously suppressed by the power and speed of Pouille's shot. After the parabola was pulled up, the landing point could not be controlled, that is, it landed smoothly at a deeper position at the baseline of the serving area.
This also gave Puy enough time to move, so defense was not impossible.
run.
run.
Run wildly with your head down.
"ah!"
When Pouille arrived, the strong topspin had been fully released and the hitting point rose to the top of his head, but this time Pouille had no time and space to jump and could only complete the shot diagonally above his shoulder. He clearly felt the suppression of the spin with his forehand and rolled the ball awkwardly.
Unfortunately, Pouille’s tape clearly didn’t rotate enough, and it didn’t have the wrapping power of Djokovic.
In general, Pouille's shots are still mainly flat shots and backspin, which is why he prefers hard courts. When he needs to pull up the topspin, Pouille's shots seem too monotonous and he fails to fully demonstrate his "clay gene", and the return effect is unsatisfactory.
Slash!
Although Gawain's straight backhand area was open at this time, Pouille had no space to hit the ball and it was impossible to change the line, so he could only choose passive defense.

Shallow area!
Moreover, the awkward hitting point exposed the monotony of Puy's hitting technique. The parabola of the return ball could not be controlled and the landing point was shallow.
Gawain, did not miss the opportunity—
In the previous shot, Gao Wen's forehand had a strong topspin, but he did not brake suddenly to control his steps. Instead, he continued to move forward with the inertia of the forward rush. After easing the force of the sprint, he took a series of small steps to adjust. Because he had set a trap, he did not need to return to defense and could just wait at the forehand position.
In the next shot, the footsteps that had just completed the adjustment had already entered the baseline directly. Although the soles of the feet were still slightly slippery, it did not have much impact. He took the initiative to move forward and rushed towards the tennis ball head-on. The footsteps that had been staying outside the baseline suddenly increased the speed and rhythm of the entire round.
The original pattern was that Puy was responsible for speeding up and Gawain was responsible for slowing down, but now, Puy had to slow down, while Gawain seized the opportunity to speed up.
Forehand, lead the racket.
Following the inertia of the forward rush, the body is pressed forward, the power and weight are doubled, and the forehand attacks quickly, with the forearm like a whip, rushing head-on.
Bang! Push!
Flat hit!
Speed up! Tennis ball turns into a beam of light.
Slash!
Gao Wen chose to repeat the landing point, and did not attack Pouille's relatively weak backhand position, but instead, his body followed the stroke to the net.
Follow the ball to the net and apply pressure up front.
The tennis ball created a huge wave and rushed towards Puy.
Puy, no fear at all.
He controlled his body as soon as he braked. At this moment, we can still see the advantage of growing up on clay, and his footwork control is obviously better than Gao Wen.
He appeared accurately on the return line, leading the racket with his forehand and moving forward.
"ah!"
Puyi roared from deep within his dantian, preparing to forcefully strike the ball, but...
but!
The accident happened at this moment.
Gao Wen's shots were fast, heavy, deep and flat. After hitting the ball in the shallow area with super topspin for two consecutive shots, he suddenly increased the speed and pushed the ball deeper, and the quality of the entire return ball changed.
Puy was not mentally prepared and charged head-on. At the same time, he felt Gawain's attack on the net, which further compressed the space for the ball and increased the pressure. Then -
Boom! The speed of the swing was not able to keep up with the speed of the ball. The racket was still at the waist position, and before I could push it forward, I felt the impact of the tennis ball.
As a result, the tennis ball went off the track and flew directly towards the audience stands.
Hit! Fly! Off the beat!
