The air is extremely tense because of the strong collisions and the back and forth between you and me. The conversion between advantages and disadvantages swings left and right like a metronome.

The two figures on the court have entered an anaerobic state. In the extremely stalemate situation, both of them have dug out their potential and given their all.

High morale and burning passion surged in the Philippe Chatrier Stadium.

Then, you can see Gawain's forehand sweeping diagonal attack, with overwhelming momentum, devouring Nadal with his fangs and claws.

"ah!"

On the other side of the court, Nadal was obviously squeezed. Although his feet were in place, his legs were not able to stand firmly. He could only stabilize his body by bending his knees and lowering his center of gravity. He used both hands to hold his body back and quickly swiped the ball, trying to hit a straight line to reverse the passive situation.

Unfortunately, the head speed was a little off.

It can also be said that Gao Wen's forehand attack was heavy as a pound, with extreme power and speed, and the landing point was deep enough to form suppression.

The result was that Nadal tried to hit a straight backhand line, but the line was not completely straightened; at the same time, he tried to suppress the arc with his two-handed backhand to hit a flat ball, relying on the increase in rhythm and speed to destroy Gao Wen's return defense, but the arc of the return ball was pressed too hard, and the return effect was not satisfactory.

Wipe the net.

Accident!

The tennis ball, because its arc was too flat, rubbed against the net, and then the entire flight trajectory, speed, power, etc. were all changed.

Fortunately, the tennis ball did not go directly into the net. After friction, it changed its flight arc, and the flat shot turned into a moon ball. Moreover, the parabola was not full, and it flew towards the deep area of ​​the baseline. Even more fortunately, the tennis ball did not go directly out of bounds, but landed half a step away from the baseline.

At the same time, Nadal tried to hit a straight line, but the line was not straight enough, and finally the tennis ball landed in the middle area of ​​​​the left half of the court of Gao Wen, in a slightly awkward position.

For Nadal, this return shot was obviously not a good thing, as his tactical intentions of changing the line and hitting the ball flat were all destroyed; but for Gawain, this was not necessarily a good thing either, because the unexpected touch of the net changed the trajectory and also changed Gawain's judgment, and he would easily be in a panic if he was not well prepared.

Adapt to changing circumstances

Tap tap tap.

Tap, tap, tap! Gao Wen took small steps to adjust his speed and position. He was originally preparing to sprint to the left sideline, but now he had to adjust before reaching the midfield. Otherwise, if he ran too far, the space for swinging the racket would be squeezed, resulting in a poor return effect. It would be a small matter, but directly hitting the tennis ball head-on and causing a car accident would be a big deal.

Adjustment.

slow down.

The rhythm of the entire round of confrontation slowed down instantly. It was "fast, fast, fast, fast" just now, but now it suddenly becomes "slow". Maybe now is the normal speed, but because of the strong contrast, it creates an illusion of slow motion playback, and the noise from all over the world slows down.

Pause.

Swing the racket.

Take action.

Gao Wen chose a two-handed backhand, without forcing power, focusing on control, relying on the quick swing of his forearm and wrist, aiming at Nadal's blind spot on the left baseline.

A tap, a backslash, a dead angle—

Hit!

Although the whole rhythm and speed slowed down, Gawain's shots became more threatening. After sacrificing power, the accuracy of his shots rose sharply. In the end, Gawain's shots accurately hit the blind spot at the baseline. Moreover, without power, Nadal was unable to use the force to play.

Nadal, the position is very awkward, very, very awkward.

In the previous shot, Nadal hit a straight line from the backhand position, but was squeezed. He tried to speed up, but his plan was ruined because the ball hit the net.

In this shot, Nadal still did not move back. To be more precise, he refused to move back. So for the second time in a row, his backhand position was squeezed again. Although moving his feet was not a problem, because the space was too narrow, he could not swing his two-handed backhand at all, and it was more difficult to control.

In addition, one detail is that Nadal's two-handed backhand has the ability to actively exert force and attack powerfully, but the prerequisite is that he needs space to swing the racket; once there is not enough space to swing the racket, Nadal's flexibility in the backhand position is far inferior to his forehand, and he can often only choose transition balls.

Just like now——

Everything went according to Gawain's plan.

Gaming, containment, and adaptability, in the short time that the tennis ball was flying in the air, Gawain's brain was fully operational and he was fully focused on it.

"ah!"

Nadal tried to exert force and let out a roar, but his swing was still incomplete, so that the arc of his return ball was obviously too high and swayed in the wind.

For the second time in a row, Nadal took the risk of trying a backhand straight line, and this time it was ten or a hundred times more difficult than the last time, but he still resolutely chose the straight line. Obviously, he was also aware of the crisis and tried to restrain Gao Wen through defense and look for a counterattack opportunity, so he chose the straight line.

However, the tennis ball trembled in the storm like the last dead leaf in autumn clinging to a branch and refusing to wither. It swayed back and forth above the sideline, as if it might go out of bounds at any time. Nadal's backhand shot was obviously out of control.

Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

The entire stadium held its breath, with thousands of eyes focused on that mustard yellow light and shadow. Before they had time to marvel at how Gawain's last shot accurately found the blind spot, their attention was immediately captured by Nadal's return. Everyone opened their eyes wide, waiting for the tennis ball to fall.

At the end of the tennis ball's flight path, a figure was already waiting there.

It was Gawain! The wind was howling, the air was burning, and the sweat was shining in the afternoon sun, reflecting the focus and determination in his eyes, as if the god of war was reborn.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

He took small steps, one after another, observing the rotation of the tennis ball while adjusting his steps. Gawain did not stand there in a daze, but adjusted his steps all the time.

Waiting, waiting patiently.

Then, the tennis ball fell quickly -

It looked like the ball was going to go out of bounds, but Gawain did not take it lightly. The Nano-style spin could always create all kinds of incredible arcs. It was clearly an out-of-bounds return ball, but it was able to change the parabolic law of physics and finally cut into bounds by spinning, and this happened more than once or twice.

Just like now.

Bottom line.

Press line.

Gao Wen could clearly see that the tennis ball was pressed steadily and accurately on the baseline, and the whole ball just fit perfectly with the baseline.

“Huh!”

The whole audience exclaimed in amazement. No one could believe their eyes. Nadal's return was so passive and difficult, but it actually hit the line.

Dumbfounded, dumbfounded.

Oops!

Another accident!

Continuous accidents!

Gao Wen was sweating, not because Nadal's return ball actually hit the line, making up for the disadvantage of just touching the net. The Philippe Chatrier Stadium seemed to have a little more preference for the Spanish bull; but because Nadal's return ball hit the baseline. The baseline and the clay are made of different materials, which changed the rotation and force of the tennis ball, and the flight trajectory after the rebound was obviously changed.

First, it is much lower and has almost no bounce ability.

Second, there is no spin. The material of the baseline is not as capable of releasing spin as clay.

Third, it is faster. The texture of the baseline is equivalent to that of a hard court, which causes the tennis ball to bounce back faster.

Before he had time to catch his breath, the tennis ball had already drilled towards Gawain's waist.
