Chapter 1645 Fast and Slow Rhythm
Running, sprinting, burning——
The brain is working at high speed.
Gao Wen knew that Murray's shots were also traps.
The tricky landing point and the upward parabola created a delicate situation. While waiting for Gao Wen to get his feet in place, it became more difficult to control the return ball. He did not have many options, and if he handled it improperly, the ball would go out of bounds.
You can either choose to hit the ball, but focus on transition, and hit the tennis ball back to the middle area to ensure that the return ball can enter the boundary.
Or he can choose to slice, cut a straight line with his forehand, break the deadlock again, and gain space for himself through line control. Of course, Yeah can slice diagonally, but the diagonal route is too conservative. Judging from Gao Wen's personality, a straight line is a high probability event, and Murray also knows Gao Wen.
but!
No matter which option, Murray has already calculated it, so he starts moving early and arrives at the destination early.
So, what should be done? Murray knows about Gloria, that is a fact. After rising to second in the world rankings, Gloria has become the focus of everyone's research in the ATP Tour, and there is no secret anymore; however, the key point of Gloria's ability to win two Grand Slam titles in a row is that there is still a little unknown hidden in him.
It is inspiration, courage and determination.
Just like now.
Facing the match point, Gao Wen was completely immersed in the game, feeling the force of his heart hitting his chest, and then grasping an inspiration.
He didn't even observe Murray's position, all his attention was focused on the tennis ball.
With a kick of the ground and a sliding step, he rushed out.
It wasn't because his footsteps didn't get into position in time. Murray's shot was light and not fast, so Gawain was able to get into position smoothly; but after getting into position, the hitting point should be above the shoulder, which made it very difficult to exert force. Then, Gawain came up with a bold and even crazy idea.
There are not only clay sliding steps, but also grass sliding steps. When you just switch from clay to grass and you are not familiar with the sliding steps yet, your body has already slid out.
However, Gao Wen did not choose to hit the ball at the first time, but waited for a moment, missed the rising point of the tennis ball, and waited for the tennis ball to reach the rising inflection point.
At one moment, the tennis ball stops flying, pauses in the air for a millisecond, and the next moment it feels the pull of gravity.
This is the time——
Seize the moment when the tennis ball pauses at the top, delay the forehand shot, and then accurately find the hitting point on the falling parabola of the tennis ball.
A swing and a rush.
When doing the splits, you cannot rely on your body to generate power, but only on your upper limbs.
The arm, forearm, and wrist, the entire swinging force is done in one go, getting faster and faster, finally creating a whipping effect, and the speed of the racket head suddenly increases.
Bang! Crisp and solid.
The tennis ball, after being compressed to the extreme, bounced back.
Like a missile.
Slash!
Shallow area!
Relying on the splits to delay the shot and successfully find the hitting point, Gao Wen aimed at the small triangle in the diagonal serving area and used the speed of the racket head to create a whipping effect, and finally completely tore the angle apart, pushing it to a new height from power to speed to rhythm without any warning.
From fast to slow, and from slow to fast.
From Gawain's slice to Murray's light hit, and then to Gawain's flat hit.
The whole rhythm was unreasonably overturned in an instant. On the previous beat, they were moving back and forth slowly, but on the next beat, the swords were unsheathed with a fierce bayonet. The accelerator was stepped on to the bottom in one breath to accelerate into the F1 state. The howling wind made the audience close their mouths and hold their breath.
There was almost no shadow of the tennis ball in the air, only a blurry light with a long tail, crossing the court like a falling meteor, crossing the net and falling rapidly. The flaming energy set off a huge wave and was released without reservation on the entire central court.
Boom! Landing, explosion.
On the other side, Murray made a sudden stop and turn and started again. His body was moving towards the forehand again, but his footsteps could not keep up with the rhythm at all.
In the end, Murray simply pushed off the ground and flew into the air, with a diving header, his body and arms stretched to the extreme.
However--
Can't reach.
The gap is very, very obvious, there is no chance at all.
At the same time, gravity pulled Murray's body down heavily, and with a loud bang, the center court completely lost its mind.
Buzz.
There was no shouting, no screaming, no cheering, just a roar.
Buzz...
When the volume of the sound reaches its peak, the eardrum can no longer feel the vibration, and in the end there is only a continuous roar.
Plan could hardly believe his eyes. He clenched his fists, tears welled up in his eyes, and stared at Gawain, who was sitting on the ground.
He raised his right fist high with a cool look in his eyes.
There was no catharsis, no release, only determination. The desire for victory and the will to fight shone in the depths of those pupils.
Pulan couldn't help but feel his blood boiling.
"Pah! Gawain!"
"Pah! Gawain!"
The sound gradually became clearer, and the voice calling Gawain's name hovered over the center court, comparable to thunder.
Two match points!
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Gao Wen saved two consecutive match points with a brilliant and unparalleled performance. Although he was clearly standing on the edge of the cliff, he once again showed the courage of a champion.
Who could refuse?
Although the home crowd desperately wanted Murray to win, a sense of crisis and fear was slowly growing, and the more panicked they were, the more they wanted the game to end as soon as possible; however, beyond the outcome, the duel that was taking place before their eyes brought a more turbulent, crazier, and more intense feeling.
Both players had fought to the extreme, giving their best performance without reservation, and in the end both of them fell to the ground.
The charm of competitive sports blooms proudly at this moment.
So they also applauded Gao Wen.
The air was gurgling and boiling, almost burning; the atmosphere of the game was pushed to a whole new level; almost no one could sit still.
The stalemate has not been broken yet——
"40:40".
After Gao Wen struggled to save two consecutive match points, the score was still tied. The next point was still full of infinite possibilities.
The noise lasted only for a moment, and then returned to silence again.
There was complete silence.
The crowd's burning gazes were all focused on the two players.
At this moment, a dark cloud seemed to finally move, and the ray of sunlight that had just fallen turned into a brilliant golden color, covering the court like a spotlight. The fresh green and the knights in white robes fought a decisive battle on the top of the Forbidden City in the breeze.
Solemn, dignified, yet uncontrollably excited.
Bend your knees, push off the ground, and throw the ball.
——Gawain, like a bow and arrow, his tall and slender figure was projected on the ground, like a giant standing tall.
Swing the racket and hit the ball.
——All the energy in the body was gathered together and released in an instant, a white piece fluttering in the wind, like the sword shadow of a knight.
BANG! It landed on the ground, crisp and solid.
Sneak attack on the outside corner.
After trying the inside corner continuously, very suddenly, Gao Wen did not choose the inside corner where he had a good feel, but stole an outside corner.
It's still in District 1.
Murray was very surprised and his steps were obviously half a beat slow. Before his body could stretch out, the tennis ball had already jumped out in front of him.
ACE!
"AD:40".
Game point has arrived.
