Chapter 1651 Blood Burning

The wind is howling,

For a moment, it seemed as if Gawain was flying in the air, and his body was still floating in the air until the tennis ball landed on the ground.

A perfect collision of strength and skill, not only brave but also firm, seizing the opportunity to break the deadlock again and complete the mini break for the second time.

“5:3”, the balance of the tie-break was overturned again.

However! Gawain did not roar, release or vent, but just clenched his fists and looked at Murray with a firm gaze, the belief of victory was shining.

The game is not over yet. Gao Wen's desire and fighting spirit are still burning. He is aiming for victory in the fourth set, revealing incredible confidence.

The whole place was boiling with excitement, and it was almost impossible to breathe.

Murray felt it, too.

He knew that he needed to fight back, he needed to stay calm, he needed to curb Gawain's momentum. Otherwise, once Gawain went crazy, it would not only be a matter of winning the fourth set, but he might even be in a passive position in the fifth set, no matter if it was for the fourth set or the entire match.

He needs to respond.

At this point, you can see the difference.

This time, Murray did not get angry. Instead, he calmed down and walked to the edge of the court very calmly. He picked up a towel to wipe his sweat. His brain started to work quickly. He did not continue to focus on the previous point, thinking about "what if", but aimed at the next point.

Next, it was still Murray's serve point. As long as he could keep this point, it would be "5:4". There would be a lot to do about the next two serve points from Gawain. But if he lost this point, it would be a count, so Murray knew very well that he needed to be fully focused at this time.

call.

Murray stood at the baseline of the first zone, ready to serve, and looked up at Gao Wen.

He threw the ball.

Area 1, outer corner.

A flat shot at 121 miles per hour (195 kilometers), with both speed and power. Not the best, but with a good spot, a tactical serve.

Moreover, we have entered the zone.

On the first step, Gawain improved his condition; on the second step, Murray also improved his condition.

With their physical strength declining and the game lasting more than three hours, both players performed at their best and the confrontation in the first two sets could be vaguely seen again. Although their physical strength could not return to the opening level, the tense feeling spread across the center court in an instant.

Gao Wen was put into a passive position.

Facing such a serve, there was actually only a limited amount Gao Wen could do. He could only take a step sideways and barely hit the ball with his forehand to wrap the tennis ball back.

That's basically all.

Under the multiple pressures of speed, angle and strength, all of Gawain's attempts were compressed to the minimum, and even his control over the return line was weakened. The entire tactical layout fell into Murray's rhythm, and even Gawain's ball quality could hardly bring more impact.

really--

Diagonal line, tried to press deep area but it was far from enough, tried to increase speed but the parabola could not be suppressed, tried to create an angle but failed.

Murray arrived very timely and followed up with the subsequent offense.

Prediction!

Now it is a defensive game, and prediction is very, very important. Gao Wen adjusted his position with small steps and moved towards the backhand position, but his center of gravity did not completely leave. When he saw Murray's shot, he reacted immediately, stopped and turned quickly, moved towards the forehand position again, and arrived in time.

——Slash! In the final analysis, Murray still likes the forehand slash, which is very routine. Even after countless games, he is often seen through by his opponents, but Murray's character is like this. He is not only conservative but also stubborn. He still likes the forehand slash.

This time is no exception.

Gao Wen's feet were in place quickly, and he hit the ball back diagonally with his forehand.

It's not that Gawain didn't want to change the line, but he was squeezed when he received the serve, and his footwork was not adjusted in place; plus, Murray's forehand diagonal attack was very strong and fierce, heavy and fast, leaving no space for Gawain, so he chose not to take the risk.

Gawain's attention was completely focused, and the next shot was still Murray's attack connection -

So, will Murray choose to repeatedly hit the diagonal line like an autumn rainy day, or will he choose to attack the straight line with an unpredictable weather like a midsummer rainstorm?

Honestly speaking, Gao Wen had no way of judging because the initiative was in Murray's hands.

From a habitual point of view, it was highly likely that Murray would continue to repeat the diagonal line for the second consecutive shot; but inexplicably, Gawain had a special intuition.

Maybe, diagonal line? It can't be said to be pure intuition, but the whole situation of the game: from the confrontation between the two players in the past three points to the scene of overturning the situation after experiencing the match point to the current confrontation of the score, the most important point for Murray to be among the giants is that he is smart enough.

Murray is very, very conservative, but if he really needs to break the deadlock, he can also take bold shots, although not that many times.

A review, a judgment, a capture.

Then, Gawain moved.

Instead of moving in advance, he adjusted in small steps, slowly adjusted his center of gravity, and moved his feet to the left, but his attention was still on the forehand position.

It may seem long and complicated to describe, but in fact, it takes less than a blink of an eye in the game.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

On the other side, Murray has already taken action.

Forehand, straight line.

Assault, go online.

Everything is completely coherent, done in one go, and with great force.

This is a typical grass-court tactic. For the 2013 champion, Murray knows exactly how to use the grass to formulate tactics.

Two consecutive forehands have suppressed Gao Wen in the deep area of ​​the baseline, and Murray did not continue to stalemate in a pedantic way.

If the forehand confrontation continues for another shot, Gawain may launch a counterattack, either by exerting force on his forehand to maintain the stalemate or by suddenly changing the line of his forehand. As a result, Murray may lose his advantage or even fall into a passive position.

Go straight, go online, and seize this opportunity.

Although Gawain was alert, Murray was still one step ahead, and it could be seen again that the game between these two players permeated every aspect of the game.

Before he could even blink, Murray had already rushed towards the net, and the whole sense of oppression poured down like a tidal wave.

Here, Gao Wen started.

Even though his intuition had already caught the abnormality, Gawain was still in a passive position in the final analysis, and was pushed into the abyss again by Murray's tactical changes.

Push off the ground, sprint across the court.

Gawain's speed has reached its limit, and his eyes are fixed on the tennis ball.

Murray did not exert force on his forehand. In order to change the line, he controlled the line and the landing point. He played the ball with restraint, tearing the entire court with the landing point, and finally forming pressure. Combined with the net tactics, one thing after another, what he really pursued was not to score in a straight line with his forehand, but to intercept and score the winning point in the next shot.

As a result, the tennis ball landed within the large triangle area at the baseline of Gao Wen's backhand position. It did not go into the dead corner but was not far away. It could be felt from the flying speed that there was not too much force attached to it, and the rebound after landing would not be too high. The space left for Gao Wen to hit the ball was limited, very, very limited.

crisis!

Crisis crisis crisis!

In terms of calculation and planning, Murray had the upper hand in this point, but Gawain's keen prediction still gave him a chance to survive.

The power of his calf muscles exploded, pushing his body into the wind. All the colorful colors in the world turned into a ball of light and shadow that swept Gawain into it.

Running wildly, sprinting, forgetting everything else, the blood is burning.
