Chapter 166: Taking advantage of the situation

Once. Once.

On the crucial points, both Sacramento and Gao Wen showed unparalleled concentration, exerting their full potential in every shot under extremely difficult circumstances.

The whole court was staring at Saramento's rebounding ball, which drew a full parabola, reaching the limit of the physical distance on the tennis court. He aimed from one blind spot to another blind spot at a diagonal angle of forty-five degrees, and controlled it with a light and agile touch, pushing the tennis ball over.

Huh.

The audience held their breath involuntarily, watching the flight trajectory of the tennis ball, while at the same time observing Gawain on the other side of the court.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh! The wind was howling, and Gawain's figure was like a whirlwind, crossing the court with light and flexible steps. The golden sunlight fell into his eyes like stars in the sky, and his eyes were fixed on the tennis ball.

Because he had predicted Saramento's return route in advance - if Saramento wanted to hit the rebound, the diagonal line was the only option, and other routes might be out of bounds, so Gao Wen ran sideways as soon as he touched the ball, buying himself a little precious time.

Tap, tap, tap! The sprint speed has reached the limit, but the pace of pursuit is still a little slow. The tennis ball has bounced off the ground and jumped high, high.

Judging from the trajectory, by the time Gao Wen arrives, the ball should have crossed the shoulder line. What should he do? For Gao Wen, who is 193 cm tall, it is not easy for his opponent to hit the tennis ball over his shoulder.

Before he even took the right step, Gao Wen had already started thinking, observing the trajectory of the tennis ball and the defensive position of Sacramento.

Forehand.

That is, the slash.

Sacramento remained where he was, without moving rashly.

Obviously, Gao Wen now needs to hit the ball over his shoulder. He has the same problem as Sacramento before. If he wants to ensure the success rate of returning the ball, he must choose a diagonal line. It is based on this judgment that Sacramento did not move in advance, but just kept his center of gravity flexible, but his feet still stayed in the forehand area.

It was an opportunity but also a risk! Gao Wen decided to take the risk. After all, it was his break point. Even if he missed it, it would only be a tie. He could just try again. Only a bold person could break the game.

It's like trying to pull chestnuts out of the fire.

Step! Gawain's right leg stomped into the ground like a tree root, and he braked hard to control his body. The bumpy footsteps did not affect the stability of his upper body at all. A gleam of light burst out of his eyes, and his right hand was raised like a longbow. The whole audience rushed over like a whirlwind.

Aim! Keep your eyes on it! Take action!

Then, the power extends from the soles of the feet all the way to the arms, and you can even hear the sound of muscles bursting, and the sound of power erupting from deep in the dantian also follows.

Huh! Bang! Immediately afterwards, the sound of a solid ball hitting the eardrum hits it hard, causing waves of echoes.

Although the hitting point has passed the shoulder, it is difficult for Gao Wen to use the physical height advantage to press down directly, but the forehand swing action still draws a full circle. Before the hitting point rises further, it lightly taps and then uses the advantage of the body jumping up lightly to create a blocking effect and force downward pressure.

The audience on the sidelines can clearly see the racket face being severely pressed down and tilted, followed by the explosive sound of the ball hitting the ball.

Boom! The tennis ball fell rapidly, like a fireball, bombarding in a straight line.

Ah! The audience gasped because both players' three shots were completed at the limit, and because Gao Wen's shot selection was unexpected, and then Sacramento was in a desperate situation again.

This time, Gao Wen successfully broke Sacramento's prediction.

run!

Run as if your life is burning!

Saramento realized his misjudgment and immediately ran sideways at full speed without caring about anything. He could even feel the fire under his feet starting to burn fiercely, and the howling wind was stirring in his chest. He seemed to have melted into the storm in a trance.

However...it was too late.

Chasing the flying tennis ball with your footsteps is ultimately passive.

Gao Wen's shot was fast and heavy. He aimed at the straight blind spot and pressed down with all his strength. The speed instantly increased to a higher level, leaving no chance for Sacramento at all.

Boom! It exploded like a cannonball.

From a distance, Saramento knew that he could no longer catch up, but he did not stop sprinting and continued to move forward by inertia.

Subconsciously, Saramento turned to look at the linesman.

In bounds? Out of bounds? In bounds.

The linesman made a gesture to confirm that Gao Wen's risky shot landed accurately within the bounds. Sacramento smiled and looked up at the sky.

Boom! The audience stood up and cheered. The thunderous applause and shouts swept the whole place.

Gawain clenched his right fist and roared like a lion. He soared high into the air, releasing all his emotions and energy without reservation. His veins stretched from his neck to his arms, and his blood gushed out, exploding with great pleasure.

Last minute! Take advantage of the situation!

He actually succeeded! He was decisive enough! He was firm enough! He was bold enough! Most importantly, he was confident enough! At the critical moment, his forehand attack withstood the severe test!

"incredible!"

“Wow.”

“It’s unbelievable!”

"Gao Wen and Sacramento presented an incredible round. Both players were in extremely difficult situations, but they controlled the hitting line with delicate touch, defending and attacking, and pushed their opponents into extremely difficult situations in a passive state, breaking their opponents' balance."

"What the hell! Both players performed brilliant shots. Defense and attack were perfectly integrated, and the offense completed the defense."

"Finally! Gao Wen forced a change of direction to attack even though his balance was already broken, and he smashed the ball directly into the boundary, winning this point."

"And he broke Sacramento's first serve."

"This game alone took fourteen minutes and twenty-seven seconds, and it ended with Gao Wen breaking serve. This matchup is truly a clash of top singles players in the Los Angeles derby."

"Excellent! Really, really wonderful! This point should be one of the top five goals of the day."

"Obviously, today's game is definitely worth the money."

Sofar could no longer suppress his excitement and madness, and he exclaimed incessantly, to the point that people were worried about suffocating.

Sampras looked at Sofar's blushing face and could completely understand his passionate mood. He turned around and high-fived Sofar to celebrate. After sighing repeatedly, he calmed down a little.

"Next, Gao Wen's serve will be a severe test for both sides."

"Because of this serve by Sacramento, both sides have consumed a lot of physical strength and energy. Next, Sacramento will definitely launch a counterattack, and Gao Wen's serve will face more impacts as his physical strength is rapidly depleted."

"The battle will obviously continue to be stalemate."
