Chapter 163: Continuous Pressure
Huh...
Tennis ball is flying.
But Sacramento did not panic at all. His calmness on the defensive end allowed him to remain highly alert at all times and keenly capture changes in the situation.
Tap tap tap.
Saramento reacted very quickly and moved to the forehand almost immediately.
Because he also knew Gao Wen's regular hitting habits, it was highly likely that he would attack his unstable forehand; Gao Wen's forehand parabola control was also unstable, so choosing a diagonal line would allow him to fly through the lowest point of the net and try to flatten and lower the arc as much as possible.
So he predicted and moved in advance, successfully buying more time for defense.
but!
Too fast! Sacramento could clearly feel that Gao Wen's strength was more solid and more powerful. The instant release of explosive power increased the acceleration of the tennis ball. Even though he had moved in advance, he still couldn't complete the swing in time. He just barely made a cut to complete the defense.
Too heavy! Intuitively, Gao Wen's overall ball quality was better than the last time they played.
In fact, this is not surprising. Just look at Gawain's performance against heavy artillery players in Athens. He is now able to form a confrontation at the strength level. Naturally, against Sacramento, which has no strength advantage, Gawain can also suppress it.
Sacramento was mentally prepared, but when he actually touched the ball, the feeling was still very obvious.
Ugh! Saramento groaned because of the fierce force, and barely managed to cut the ball back, but the quality was out of control, and a rainbow ball flew out in front of him.
See the high, not the far.
Oops!
When Sacramento saw Gao Wen's quick steps towards the net, his alarm bells went off. He immediately realized that the situation was not good. He braked suddenly, turned around quickly, and ran as fast as he could, sprinting towards his backhand gap. However, he still couldn't catch up -
Bang! The full and solid sound of hitting the ball echoed over the court. Gao Wen smashed the ball with all his strength in the air, leaping high in the air, gracefully and freely. Then the tennis ball turned into a beam of light and disappeared into the sunlight.
Even though Sacramento guessed the direction correctly, he still couldn't catch up with the speed.
"0:15".
Gao Wen stood in front of the net, clenched his fists tightly, his determined eyes shining, and a belief in winning was burning.
Saramento was not to be outdone and looked back with a burning gaze. The two men's eyes met briefly but quickly looked away.
In the second match between the two sides, Sacramento changed its tactical style and focused on offense, but the entire game was out of control and it lost the victory hastily.
In the third match between the two sides, Gowon took the initiative to change tactics. The entire offense was more decisive and meticulous, and he took every step to compress Sacramento's defensive space. From the opening stage, Gowon won five points in a row, firmly controlled the rhythm of the game in his own hands, and performed very well.
However, Sacramento definitely had no intention of surrendering.
Gawain knew Sacramento's return route, and conversely, Sacramento also knew Gawain's return habits, and the two sides were entangled in the game.
First, Sacramento hit a forehand return ball, fooling Gawain and scoring successfully; then Gawain used his backhand to suppress the opponent continuously, gaining an advantage, and hit a backslash with his forehand to get the winning point.
Then Sacramento's serve squeezed into Gao Wen's position and scored directly from the serve; right after that, Gao Wen hit a small diagonal skateboard with his forehand again, but because the force was unloaded so well, the tennis ball had almost no bounce after landing, and Sacramento ran as fast as he could but still couldn't catch up.
Gao Wen got a break point.
But at the critical moment, Sacramento suddenly accelerated his serve and accurately delivered an inside corner serve at a speed of 182 kilometers per hour, ACE, saving the break point.
From "15:15" to "30:30" and then to "40:40", the score was tied all the way. Neither player was able to win two points in a row to gain an advantage. Then the game was entangled in "Deuce". Now one side must win two points in a row to end the game.
However, it is still difficult.
“…The scene was extremely tense.”
“It was only the second game of the match and the first serving game for Sacramento, but both sides had already played their best.”
"It's the fifth time the game has been tied. The game time for this game alone is almost 10 minutes. Salamanca saved three break points and missed two game points. He still needs to fight to keep his serve."
“From the beginning, it seemed that Gao Wen hoped to break the opponent’s serve and suppress his opponent.”
"From a tactical perspective, there is no point in losing momentum."
"Both sides had some very exciting returns, but there were also some inevitable mistakes. In short, the situation is still stalemate."
"Ah, Gawain forced the ball to go into the net and hit the ball a little late, probably just a millisecond, which caused the return ball to go into the net. It was a pity, but Gawain was not too upset and just tried again."
"Sacramento got the third game point on his serve."
huff huff.
huff huff.
Although the game had just begun, both players' breathing had already become rapid. The high degree of concentration was a test of their energy and stamina, but it also proved the importance of the start, and no one was willing to give in to their opponent easily.

Especially Saramento. In the last point, the two of them fought for twenty-nine rounds, covering the entire court. As a result, Saramento's tenacious defense forced Gao Wen to take the risk of changing line, which ended up in the net. Now both of them are gasping for breath and need to regain their breath from the anaerobic state.
Snap. Snap. Snap.
Sacramento was bouncing the ball, but because he was still panting, the preparation time for the serve was obviously prolonged. However, he still couldn't adjust, and his first serve went directly into the net - it was obvious that he didn't have enough power to push off the ground, and then he could only prepare for the second serve.
call……
Saramento let out a long breath and used a slightly conservative second serve strategy, choosing a wide outside corner, trying to pull Gawain out of the court and create an opportunity for his next shot, but the angle was not completely opened - he was still a little concerned, worried that the angle would be too large and the second serve would go out of bounds, which would be a double fault.
When he noticed the landing point, Sacramento exclaimed that it was not good.
really!
Gao Wen did not miss the opportunity. He took a sideways step, pushed off the ground fully, and threw his body completely out.
One step! Stepping, the right foot has already stood firmly, and then the long arms and legs have already stretched out, making full use of the strength of the upper limbs. The whole swing action is very full and full, and you can even see the swing action turning into a gorgeous light and shadow.
Bang! The tennis ball came right back, almost hitting the wall.
Small slash, outside corner, has both speed and power.
Sacramento only had time to run, and then watched the tennis ball fall into his serving area and then jumped out.
Return the effect of a serve.
"Deuce".
Gao Wen scored and returned the serve ace cleanly, and the two sides were tied for the sixth time.
Saramento was somewhat helpless.
It seems that this serve game still needs to be continued.
Third update.
