Chapter 141 The beginning of the counterattack
Boom boom boom!
"In the opening stage, both sides are still in the stage of adapting to each other. Obviously, Kerbert's power brings enough impact. An ace and a serve directly score points. There is no round ball yet."
Amid the roar of the stadium, Sofar's commentary was still accompanying the ESPN viewers in front of the TV. He could clearly feel that the atmosphere of this game was different, and the sparks of tit-for-tat had already spread.
"However, this season, Gao Wen's serve receiving success rate is the highest in the United States, a full 58.6%. He is also considered one of the most stable players in the NCAA in terms of serve receiving performance."
"On the one hand, he has a very good feel for the ball, and his judgment of rotation, power, and landing point are very accurate; on the other hand, his wrist is very soft, and the tennis ball is wrapped very lightly and fully. Coupled with his excellent touch, he can often return the tennis ball to the court."
“So, the opening stage is still a test, we need to continue to focus on the game.”
But Kerbert obviously didn't care about Sofar's opinion. He clenched his fists and roared like a lion again, as if showing off the strength of his arm muscles. He suppressed Gawain's aura fiercely, and a hint of contempt flashed deep in his eyes, declaring his dominance again.
This should be the first player among all Gao Wen's opponents this season who skillfully launched an aura confrontation. The battle for momentum began from the first point.
But, will this work for Gawain?
Gawain watched his return ball fly out of the baseline, not paying any attention to Kerbert's performance, as if it were a circus that was not worth paying attention to. Instead, he felt the force of his wrist, then swung the racket again, looking for the right swing trajectory.
When facing players who they meet for the first time, everything is unfamiliar. They all need to understand and debug, just like computer analysis, which requires familiarity before analysis can be carried out.
Gao Wen, we are collecting data now.
After a brief battle of momentum, the two players returned to their positions, preparing for the next point.
On the third point, Kerbert chose Gao Wen's forehand for the second time in a row and sent an outside corner.
From the details, we can see Kerbert's judgment. Everyone knows that Gao Wen's forehand is relatively unstable, and it is obviously more likely to break through with the forehand.
Kerbert did not deliberately create an angle, but just chose an outside corner in a conventional way. He relied more on strength and speed to suppress Gao Wen's forehand, destroy the stability of Gao Wen's forehand, and then establish an advantage in the serve.
Boom! Power, very solid, another shot at 188 kilometers per hour.
Step! Gao Wen's receiving position was still more than two meters away. He took a small step to his right and swung his racket with his right hand early to prepare. However, because Kerbert's ball speed was very fast, Gao Wen's swinging space was compressed, and he did not have time to complete the whole force action. So when sending the racket, Gao Wen used the force.
state.
The tennis ball hit the racket, and in the brief moment of contact, Gawain's wrist turned slightly upwards, making full use of the power of Kerbert's serve, using the force to create a strong topspin while hitting the ball, adding insurance and ensuring that the tennis ball could enter the court.
This is to make subtle adjustments based on the situation of the previous point. He is still testing to see how to complete the return and then see how to improve the quality of the return.
Whoosh! The tennis ball drew a parabola high up in the air, leaping into the sunlight like a rainbow, and then fell rapidly towards Kerbert's position.
Central location.
It can be seen from the landing point that Gao Wen's control is still lacking. The angle and depth have not been adjusted yet, and it looks very rough and mediocre. As a result, the return ball falls in the area between the serving line and the baseline. There is no depth vertically and no angle horizontally. It is in the center position that is neither deep nor shallow, which is a bit ambiguous.
But in the end, this time the return serve did not go out of bounds and entered the court.
However, the next shot was very passive because for Culbert, it was an offensive opportunity in the half court.
Tap tap tap.
Kerbert stepped forward quickly, entered the baseline, and prepared to hit the ball with a forehand. The speed of his steps and the power of his racket swing were very full.
However, the tennis ball fell a little faster than expected, and there were some errors in Kerbert's swing. If Kerbert made a slight adjustment temporarily, there would still be no problem. He could use his strength advantage to forcibly suppress the tennis ball and complete the shot.
However, at the moment the racket touched the tennis ball, the strong rotation was beyond Kerbert's expectations. The tennis ball hit the strings violently, generating such strong friction that the racket began to shake slightly.
Damn it!
Kerbert was very anxious to score points, very anxious to further establish an advantage, and very anxious to further suppress his opponent. The whole racket action seemed a little anxious, and the power was released without reservation. As a result, during the strong rotation, the angle of the racket face seemed too flat and too direct.
bass.
Suddenly, Kerbert hit the tennis ball like a baseball, and a mustard yellow light flew directly towards the audience stands.
“Huh!”
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The audience cried out in surprise. The ball that gave Kerbert an absolute advantage was just hit away. No one could believe their eyes. Then there was a commotion, and the audience who were scrambling for the tennis ball became even more noisy.
Kerbert looked at his racket in disbelief, his mind still not understanding: How did he hit the ball so far? Looking up, Kerbert glanced at Gawain across the court, only to find that Gawain was not paying attention to him at all, but was walking straight to the other side of the court, preparing for the next point, as if the previous point was not worth paying attention to at all.
Inexplicably, Kerbert ignited an unknown fire again. He glared at Gawain fiercely, then turned around and walked back to the baseline.
For Gao Wen, this point is indeed not worth paying attention to, because such mistakes are random and one cannot expect the opponent to make mistakes every time.
However, this mistake was not without benefit. Gawain noticed that Kerbert was very eager to show his momentum at the beginning. His entire batting seemed a little hasty and anxious, and he neglected to observe and predict the details.
Spin is the most magical part of tennis and table tennis. Anyone who ignores spin will suffer.
Maybe he could take advantage of it.
In fact, it is very difficult to play against power players like Kerbert, Domyan, and Thompson, because the suppression of strength and speed really makes it impossible for people to move their hands and feet. This is a suppression of absolute strength.
It is easier said than done, because their ball paths are relatively rough, and the lack of details often leads to a decline in the quality of their return balls. Mobility is also not their strong point. As long as you are patient enough to deal with them and let them move, it will be easier to find loopholes than against players with the same style as Giron and Sacramento.
Gao Wen ignored Kebert because his brain was working at high speed. Should he be more bold in his next point? First update.
