Chapter 1425: Give it a try

tired.

Nadal was tired, and so was Gawain. From the last game to this one, the stalemate continued to escalate, with no time to breathe.

The last point was another long round of fierce fighting that was pushed to the extreme. The all-round state of the two players was like a taut rubber band, stretched and stretched again, but already shaky and on the verge of breaking. As long as the force was a little stronger, it might fall apart in the next second.

However, it is precisely moments like this, and scores like this, that distinguish the masters from the top masters, and the difference between ordinary and legendary.

So far in this match, both players have improved their form at critical moments, especially the serving side, and now it is Nadal's turn to face difficulties.

District 2.

Push off the ground, swing the racket, serve the ball——

One shot, and it went in.

Surprisingly!

Although the speed was not fast, only 178 kilometers per hour, it was still a first shot, and it was the second valuable first shot in this game.

At the critical moment, Nadal improved his condition.

At this point, what is more important than the quality of the shot is the suddenness of the shot.

Imagine that you keep missing your first serve, and your opponent is ready for your second serve, but suddenly you hit the first serve?

This subtle difference in conditioned reflex may not overturn the game, but it can directly affect the shot.

but!

Gawain was not distracted. His attention was completely focused. He did not distinguish between the first serve and the second serve. He remained alert and kept his eyes fixed on the tennis ball.

Here it comes.

Nadal took a risk by serving his forehand inside corner at close range.

It has been mentioned more than once before that Nadal's left-hand advantage in the outside corner of the second zone is his killer weapon, and it has repeatedly worked wonders in today's game. He has used it more than once or twice on break points, and it has always worked. The combination of left hand plus rotation to suppress the backhand is a golden combination.

However, this time it was different.

Gawain was calculating, and so was Nadal. In the end, Nadal chose to take a risk and attack, breaking the routine, and disrupting the prediction with a serve from the inside corner of the second zone. At the same time, he slowed down and reduced the power at the critical moment to ensure the success rate of the first serve, once again breaking the cycle of always falling into the second serve in this game, creating an unexpected situation.

This is the strategy.

Sometimes, a strategy does not need to be novel or fancy; a little detail and then a little more detail added together can break the balance of confrontation.

One shot? Gao Wen was not surprised.

Inside corner? Gawain certainly hadn’t expected it.

Before the footsteps started, there was a slight pause, which was a millisecond when the reaction nerves flickered, but the opportunity to attack at the first moment was still missed; however, in a flash, when the footsteps really started, the idea of ​​a strong attack burst out in the mind again -

In fact, whether it is Nadal or Gao Wen, the core of the game layout between the two lies in how to allocate limited physical strength more reasonably, when to attack, when to control, when to adjust, when to create opportunities, and when to seize opportunities. Everything requires strategy.

You can fight, but when to fight is the key.

Whoever can grasp the timing more accurately will have the upper hand.

Judging from the previous part of the current game, Gao Wen's serve receiving tactics tend to be conservative. In the crisis of physical limit, the choice of exerting force and fighting needs to be more rational and reasonable, and he can't act blindly like a headless fly.

Wasting opportunities is one thing, wasting physical strength is another.

Therefore, Gawain often reduces his power advantage by maneuvering around the baseline before making his shot; coupled with Nadal's dilemma on the second serve, it is difficult for him to limit him through his serve, which leads to a stalemate in the match.

Now, Nadal changed his serving tactics, taking advantage of the fact that Gawain was not ready to attack, and used a reduced-power serve to further break Gawain's prediction and counterattack, and to create opportunities for his second-shot attack.

but--

What if Gawain took the risk and attacked head-on? Even though he had missed the chance to attack, he still chose to attack head-on?

An idea, a thought, an inspiration, takes root in the mind, and like a match firework, crackling sparks bloom.

A meal, one side.

Gao Wen gave up moving his feet and instead stepped back with his right leg, making a cross step, placing his right leg behind his left leg and leaning his body back, freeing up horizontal and vertical space at the same time.

Then, the forehand shot was already launched——

Use the opponent's force to counter attack.

"ah!"

The tennis ball came towards him, spinning and heavy. The strong rotation successfully squeezed Gawain, so that when he exerted force, an electric current ran from his heels to the top of his head, and the roar of force from deep in his dantian exploded like spring thunder.

With a wave.

One cover.

This is a shot that is completed entirely by turning the upper body. Because the arm has limited space to swing the racket, the body is simply used to pull the arm forward to make a sweeping, covering shot. It is neither orthodox nor regular, and the final moment of the shot depends entirely on the feel of the hand to control the line of the shot.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Bang! Everything happened so fast, and then the tennis ball was out.

Gawain's knees softened and his center of gravity dropped. After he finished hitting the ball, he squatted down and was almost sitting down. He controlled his body with the strong core strength of his waist and abdomen. It was as if there were springs in his knees. He sat down and bounced, and stood up again, keeping all the muscles tense.

His eyes were fixed on the tennis ball.

straight line.

At least, Gao Wen tried to attack a straight line, but in the final analysis, his body was squeezed, and even if he relied on the whole body movement to complete the shot, it was still not enough, and in the end the straight line could not be completely straightened.

Fortunately, it was fast enough, deep enough, and heavy enough.

The tennis ball hit Nadal two steps away on his right side and landed on the inner half of the baseline, making full use of the straight space to form a foot ball.

Moreover, it was a flat attack.

Got it! At the critical moment, Gawain made a desperate effort and successfully hit the tennis ball deep into the baseline, and then Nadal was in trouble.

Nadal was a little embarrassed.

Before the serve could be fully returned to position, Gao Wen's return serve had already rushed over. In a hurry, he adjusted his feet, lowered his center of gravity, and made an intercepting backhand movement with both hands. He couldn't swing the racket at all and there was no space to swing the racket. It was purely the most basic interception, relying on the angle of the racket face to control the ball.

The tennis ball bounces off the ground and hits the racket directly.

Brush, brush, brush.

It can be clearly seen that the tennis ball rolls quickly along the racket string, drawing a rising curve of a pirate ship, but the difference is that the pirate ship falls again after reaching the apex, while the tennis ball jumps out after reaching the apex, as if preparing to complete the semicircle, and then the tennis ball rides on the skateboard through the "U"-shaped board and flies out again.

A thrilling crescent-shaped scimitar crossed the entire field.

The route, landing point, angle, none of them are under any control.

Nadal immediately realized that he was caught in a bad situation of passive defense, but he did not panic. He took small steps to adjust and regain his defensive position. He stared at the figure across the court with his eyes fixed, his mind completely tense.

Gao Wen, go online.

Tap tap tap.

Tap tap tap.

Without any hesitation or delay, he cut into the baseline at the first moment, and the transition from passive to active was smooth throughout the entire game.
