Chapter 144 Fisting Technique

“30:40”, break point, serve in the second zone.

Outside corner.

Kerbert still chose the outside corner, but because it was in the second zone, the outside corner corresponded to Gawain's backhand; moreover, Kerbert was ready to tear open the angle of the outside corner and directly pull Gawain out of the court -

Receiving a serve with a two-handed backhand is inherently awkward because the swinging motion cannot be fully exerted. If the angle is torn, the body must be stretched out, and the difficulty of receiving the ball will increase.

The tactical intention is very clear.

However, at the critical moment, Kerbert's serve was slightly off and the ball hit a little late.

Lower the net.

One shot missed.

The more you want to make an ACE, the tenser your muscles become, the more your mentality fluctuates, and the easier it is to make mistakes, just like at this moment.

Serving is a technical link that requires the whole body's movements. Being too nervous or too relaxed may lead to mistakes. This is the only technical link that is controlled by the serving party, but it is also the most complex and difficult link of all tennis technical movements.

Second serve.

The first second serve in this game happened to come on a break point. Kerbert was a little depressed, and then his head was full of thoughts of second serve, second serve, and second serve.

Cobert was a little anxious. He just adjusted his breathing and started the second serve immediately.

bass.

Kerbert's second serve obviously added some insurance to avoid making another mistake and giving away his serve with a double fault. He needed to ensure that his serve was successful.

Close serve!

Although it was a second serve, Kerbert still showed his advantage on the serve end and served a close ball towards Gawain's position, compressing Gawain's hitting space.

However, Kerbert's serve was still mainly flat, without much rotation, and after landing, it went straight towards Gawain, but because of the second serve, the speed and power were slightly restrained, lacking the finishing power.

Gao Wen just took two small steps to make room, then used his backhand to hit the ball smoothly.

The tennis ball flew towards the deep middle area. Gawain was squeezed after all. He couldn't change the angle and could only ensure the depth of the return ball. For Kerbert, he could hold the position without moving. He hit the tennis ball back with a forehand pull from bottom to top.

Thus, the first round of ball since the opening was formed.

However, Gao Wen immediately noticed the details of the return ball——

Kerbert is too tall, and he cannot squat down for some shots. This also means that his body's power cannot be converted, and he can only use his upper limbs to barely pull up the tennis ball. Such a return ball is either easy to be pulled too big, forming a half-high ball, or it is easy to be not enough and the return ball goes directly into the net.

Either way, it's a good thing for Gawain.

Gawain was ready to try again. He slightly increased the angle and hit the ball back towards Kerbert forehand. He waited for Kerbert to hit the tennis ball back diagonally as usual. Then Gawain took a series of small steps to his forehand position, pulled the racket to its full extent, and made a flat hit.

However, at the moment of hitting the ball, Gao Wen changed the way of hitting the ball, using some cutting to change the speed, rotation and angle of the tennis ball.

Huh! The audience was a little surprised and let out a low cry of surprise—

Forehand is the same for both male and female players. It is an offensive weapon and the main body of the game. Unless one's running steps are too late to get to the right position and is forced to cut, almost no one will give up on driving the ball on a hard court.

Why? There is a huge difference between driving and slicing. The speed and power are basically two different levels. Choosing slicing means giving the opponent enough time to get into position, and then starting to attack.

A commentator once joked that when facing Rafael Nadal, if a slice occurs, it means that the point will be lost.

This is not just the case against Nadal. It is the same for almost all players. Slicing means giving up your advantages in power and speed.

So, is slice shooting useless?

Of course not.

The biggest function of slicing the ball is to change the rotation. In grass and clay court games, changing the rotation by slicing the ball can actually curb the opponent's attack. The rotation is varied and if you are not careful you may be caught in the rotation and then, like a table tennis ball, the ball will be hit directly away.

In addition, slicing is also an important means to change the rhythm of the game - for example, when you are in a very passive position, you can slow down the pace of the game by slicing the ball, giving yourself some breathing space while also disrupting your opponent's rhythm.

However, Gawain and Kerbert were in a state of equilibrium, and the two sides were in a state of strong momentum collision, but Gawain took the initiative to show weakness and slice the ball? And it was a forehand?

This was really unexpected! The spectators in the stands all exclaimed, but standing on the court, Kerbert showed a surprised expression: Opportunity!

Tap, tap, tap! Kerbert moved sideways quickly. Although Gawain used a slice to change the return line from a diagonal line to a straight line, his speed was not fast enough, and Kerbert had plenty of time to catch up.

Go! Get there!

Lead the beat!

Impact!

There were small flames burning in Kerbert's eyes, as if he was staring at a sworn enemy. The entire swing of the racket was very complete and full. He wished he could blast a black hole in the court with one swing. All the strength in his body was concentrated on the racket and smashed towards the tennis ball.

but!

etc!

Backspin? Gawain's slice produced a strong backspin! This also meant that, first, Kerbert needed to bend his knees and lower his center of gravity low enough, otherwise the return ball might go into the net; second, Kerbert's racket control needed to be pulled up to raise the arc of the entire tennis ball, otherwise it might still go into the net.

However, Kerbert's racket was like a ten-meter-long sword. He raised his hand and was ready to hit the ball hard. The angle of the racket was obviously wrong. From such small details, it can be seen that Kerbert's hitting was still lacking in thinking. Facing Gawain's obviously unusual hitting, he was still thinking about the reason, and only realized it when the time came.

trap!

Only then did Kerbert realize it. In a split second, Kerbert had no time to be depressed or curse, and he relied on conditioned reflexes to complete the shot.

However, the hasty adjustment was still not enough, the force was too great, the center of gravity was too high, and the racket was not swung enough, so the tennis ball flew over.

Damn it!

However, at least the backspin ball was lifted up, flew in a parabola across the net, and flew to the other side of the court -

The effect doesn't seem to be too bad.

At this moment, Gao Wen had accurately appeared in the area on his left hand side of the court. His two-handed backhand was very full and powerful. With a push off the ground and a forward rush, the power was added up, and you could clearly see the entire racket spread out like an angel's wing, and then pressed down hard.

Bang! Pah! The tennis ball was instantly hit from top to bottom, straight into the air! It landed on the ground!

Rebound!

Dead ball!

Score!

Clean and decisive, with great momentum! Break!

"Competition, high!"

Roar! After watching the tennis ball land and score, Gawain clenched his fists and roared towards Kerbert. Like a giant dragon awakening from its slumber, his roar resounded throughout the stadium, and the mighty roars rolled over Kerbert layer by layer.

Aura, full on!

This is the correct way to make a fist, do you understand 　?
