Chapter 1704 Pushing to the Extreme

Focus on the present——

This is the biggest difference between on and off the court. Even though they all know it is match point, the players must focus on the game and not be distracted.

Everything is not left to fate, but is firmly in your own hands.

Gawain was extremely focused. Even though his calf muscles ached, his throat was boiling with blood, and every muscle in his body was protesting, none of that mattered anymore. His mind and will were 100% focused on what was in front of him, and he responded immediately.

Get close and press forehand.

Federer's serve and change of tactics were very unexpected and very bold.

Judging from the choice of serve landing point, Federer did not aim at the ACE at all. This was the biggest surprise. After all, in the key points of this game, Federer had used serve to resolve the crisis more than once. He needed ACE or serve to get simple points to ease his predicament.

Naturally, Federer's first serve often chooses to land in the corners, inside or outside, and he gains some initiative by serving hard.

It is also because of this that Federer's serve has become rigid to a certain extent, with his options narrowed, giving Gawain more room for prediction.

Until now——

Federer's burning brain calmed down a little, and he finally broke the fixed routine and changed his serving tactics very suddenly and unexpectedly.

Killed Gawain ruthlessly and caught him off guard.

Gao Wen was indeed not expecting this and was a little flustered.

but!

At the critical moment, Gawain once again showed his big heart, and his first reaction was as fast as lightning.

Originally, Gao Wen was preparing to move towards the forehand position. His subconscious mind predicted that it was an inner corner, so he did not move in advance, but his conditioned reflex had already prepared him. However, this was no longer possible. Once he moved, it would be like crashing into it, and the next step would be the scene of a car accident. Therefore, he needed to control his steps.

A pause! Then, when there is no time or space for the foot to adjust the center of gravity and retreat, the upper body leans back, relying entirely on the waist and abdomen to make a waist-bending movement, forcibly making room for the ball, and the forehand swing hits out along the rotation movement, and the forearm completes the swing in the limited space.

One.

This was an extremely difficult shot, but in a split second, Gawain reacted promptly and struck the ball cleanly, sending the tennis ball straight out.

The effect was beyond imagination! Whoosh! The tennis ball drew a flat and fast trajectory, using the force of Federer's serve to hit back with all the force, like a fireball.

Bump, hit, rush——

The whole audience exclaimed.

Gawain's return ball incredibly rushed to the left of Federer's serving position, and at the same time, it landed accurately on the line.

Baseline ball! In today's game, Federer tried this serve more than once, and Gawain tried to launch a counterattack more than once, but Gawain never found the best effect, and instead gave Federer the opportunity to attack from the side to the forehand position. The main reason was that Gawain's return ball was not deep enough.

This time, it was finally enough! Gawain inexplicably grabbed a first serve in an extremely passive situation, and instantly pushed the layers of pressure towards Federer.

Federer is in a particularly bad state.

He did not anticipate that the ball would come back so quickly, and before he had time to adjust his steps, he had to swing the racket to hit a one-handed backhand.

A top, rebounding ball.

With one stretch, the one-handed backhand is fully extended like a roc spreading its wings.

As soon as I lifted it, the delicate touch wrapped around the tennis ball and drew a light arc.

As fast as lightning and as graceful as a startled wild goose.

straight line!

It was actually a straight line! Everything happened too fast. Both Gawain and Federer relied on their instinctive reactions to complete their extreme shots. However, they both hit high-quality shots in extremely difficult situations. They did not give the audience any time to breathe. The tennis ball once again rushed towards the deep area of ​​the big triangle at the baseline of Gawain's forehand position.

Whoosh! The tennis ball drew a full arc, not fast, but with strong rotation, and you could even see the high-speed rotation of a meteor trail that turned into a halo of light.

Huh! As everyone in the audience gasped, Gao Wenhua crossed the entire venue like a streak of light.

Obviously, Federer's rebound ball also felt the pressure from Gawain's attack and serve, and he was unable to suppress the parabola. His speed and strength were insufficient, which also left Gawain enough time to chase. He arrived at the position smoothly and even had time to observe Federer's position in advance.

Gawain was watching.

Federer is watching, too.

Neither player started moving easily. They were observing, predicting, bargaining, and stalemate. Even in the gaps between touches of the ball, one could feel the spark of confrontation.

You come and I go——

In the end, it was Gao Wen who took the first shot, otherwise he would have missed the hitting point.

With a push off the ground, Gao Wen took off into the air with the help of the inertia of the sprint. In this way, he grabbed the hitting point and completed the shot at a position parallel to his chest.

Make an effort.

Press down.

Impact.

——Straight line, assault.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

At the match point, Gawain acted very boldly, challenging the difficult straight-line attack while moving at high speed, and launching an offensive targeting the big triangle at Federer's backhand baseline.

Federer rushed out at the first moment, and his patience was rewarded. He did not move in advance and lose his position. Instead, he accurately predicted Gawain's tactical intentions and waited for the ball in the blind corner of the backhand baseline with two big steps. But the impact and pressure were real.

Federer's backhand was under tremendous pressure, but at this time, Federer, who was in the batting state, also gave it his all and let out a low roar.

"ah!"

Roaring is both an exertion of force and a combined force. When faced with a dilemma where one's physical strength is at its limit, it is often necessary to exert force in this way.

But Federer has always been elegant and calm, and any shot he makes seems to be effortless and casual, so there is very little noise during the shot.

However, at this time, Federer also exerted his strength.

Faced with continuous suppression on the backhand position, Federer also roared from the depths of his dantian, and his one-handed backhand drew a streak of light like a long sword unsheathed.

Cold light, chilling——

Federer actually hit the ball low for the second time in a row. Although this time it was not a rebound, the hitting point was almost at the knee position. He lowered his center of gravity completely, shot with one hand, opened his chest completely, and completed a shot from bottom to top. At the same time, he exerted force and launched a counterattack from the backhand position.

Bang! So straightforward and powerful, so cool and handsome.

Federer's signature one-handed backhand finally showed its power. The tennis ball followed a flat arc, lightly crossed the net, and went diagonally into the dead corner at the baseline of Gao Wen's backhand position.

Across the field!

The situation reversed in an instant.

Ah! Federer roared one second ago, and Gawain roared as he hurriedly started, stopped, and turned.

Tap tap tap.

Tap tap tap.

Gawain was running wildly, running with all his heart.

Now, every touch and every shot of the ball may turn the situation around. The transition between offense and defense is becoming tighter and faster, with almost no breathing time. The tough confrontation that completely abandons transition balls has pushed the game to a whole new level.

Federer was in a mess, and so was Gawain, but both players gritted their teeth and persevered, burning their inner energy.

The competition entered another level of confrontation.
