Chapter 198 A powerful dialogue

“30:40”.

Break point.

His breathing was a little rapid, and Gao Wen took several deep breaths to adjust his rhythm. After all, practice matches and official matches are different.

It can be clearly felt that Jilong's overall ball quality and route have been upgraded to a higher level.

In fact, in the usual practice matches, Gao Wen and Ji Long have won and lost alternately, and it is difficult to clearly say who is better. More wins or fewer wins are not a reflection of absolute strength.

Giron's batting, overall, is a high-quality version of Sarkeesian's. He is also good at attacking, but the difference is that this is not his only offensive weapon.

In those baseline rounds where he gives up on the chance to score and instead engages in a well-behaved confrontation, he is also able to perform at a very high level. Even with strong suppression, it is difficult to completely destroy his shots. His baseline hitting ability is undoubtedly at the top of the NCAA pyramid.

Although the offensive power is slightly inferior, the defensive quality is definitely first-tier. The counterattack during defense is extremely sharp, with the occasional change of rhythm in the attack, and the tactical combination routines are very rich.

"God's Chosen One" is definitely not just talk, but a title earned through real tests. It is for this reason that Martin particularly prefers Geelong; at the same time, Thompson also does not like to play against Geelong, even if he can win, the game will be very stalemate.

In terms of national rankings, Geelong is always among the top five.

The only obvious shortcoming is not the forehand, but the hitting line.

Jilong has his own habitual routines. For example, he likes to attack the straight line with his forehand, and his backhand lacks the ability to change line so he often prefers to hit the diagonal line, and so on.

But today, Jilong came prepared, probably because he got inspiration from Webber's fight in that game. He not only dared to change the line, but also dared to change the routine, making full use of the familiarity of the "practice match" imprinted in Gawain's mind, repeatedly breaking Gawain's predictions and successfully taking the lead in the score.

Gao Wen soon realized that he was obsessed.

However, the reason why Jilong is difficult to play against is that he has a very strong baseline hitting ability and is very good at wrapping power and rotation. This also means that it is not easy for Gao Wen to suppress Jilong's changes, or to change before Jilong.

Patience and concentration are indispensable.

Fortunately, it was Gao Wen's serve game now, and he could still gain a slight advantage through his serve.

Snap. Snap. Snap.

Gao Wen was bouncing the ball, raised his head and glanced at Jilong's position, and then... his serve action was smooth and continuous, aiming at the inside corner.

At this time, Gao Wen was in the second zone, the inside corner which was Jilong's forehand position.

Gao Wen knew that when Ji Long lost his balance, it was difficult for him to exert force or leverage on his forehand shots, so he often had to rely on his wrist to push the ball. No matter what the angle, the power and speed were relatively less "aggressive", which could leave room for Gao Wen's next attack.

So, instead of pursuing speed and rotation, Gao Wen focused on the landing point.

Bang! The serve lands on the T-point at the junction of the service area, pursuing the ultimate inside corner.

Jilong's judgment was a little bit late. His whole body stretched out like a roc spreading its wings. He took a big step forward and barely touched the tennis ball. However, he had no space to swing the racket, so he just hastily pushed the tennis ball back with a push.

It's like hitting a wall, going straight forward, but the speed and power are obviously weakened.

A chance for Gawain? No, Jilong's push was straight, without any angle, and pushed back to the center of Gawain's half. Most importantly, this shot made full use of Gawain's serve power, and the reaction force pushed the return ball very deep, already within a large step of the baseline.

Gao Wen quickly adjusted his steps and tried to launch an attack, but the speed at which the tennis ball bounced back after landing was faster than he could imagine, and it went straight in, so that he didn't have time to complete the backhand. He just used his upper body to make a small arc to turn and pull the ball back.

It is obvious that Jilong's return ball is deep enough, which accidentally creates a squeezing effect, so that Gao Wen's swing is not complete at all.

The speed of the tennis ball slowed down significantly and flew towards Jilong's backhand position.

But when Jilong saw Gao Wen's swing, he immediately realized that his return serve had achieved an unexpected effect. He adjusted his footsteps in small steps like a light step on the water. His body was very light and his footsteps were very agile. He quickly switched from backhand to forehand, and swung the forehand with a straight arm.

The power was very solid, flowing from the soles of the feet through the knees, and then transferred to the arms through the rotation. His footsteps bought him enough time to swing the racket, and he swung his forehand hard at the tennis ball.

Straight line? Diagonal line? Straight line!

Jilong did not observe Gawain's position at all, because he knew that Gawain's feint was very realistic, and if he paid too much attention to it, it might distract him. He was determined to bombard Gawain's forehand in a straight line, so he had to be ruthless.

Opportunity is fleeting.

Boom! Jilong used all his strength to hit the ball in the second shot, firmly grasping the opportunity and not relaxing at all.

A straight line, straight and heavy. With just this one shot, the advantage is established in an instant.

To be precise, the effect of receiving the serve was a slight surprise. Jilong himself did not expect to be able to push it so deep, but Jilong's sense of smell was very sharp. He immediately made full use of the advantage of his footwork in the second shot and found an opportunity to attack with his forehand.

This also continued Jilong's good form in this game.

Danger!

Gao Wen's steps were a little messy, because he thought Jilong would go against his trend and hit the backhand, but he didn't expect that this shot would hit the regular route. In the calculation and counter-calculation stage, Jilong did better than Gao Wen in the opening stage, and the difference in competition experience was highlighted.

As a result, Gawain fell into a passive position.

Adjust. Adjust. Adjust.

He braked suddenly from his left side and then moved sideways to the right side. His violently bumpy steps were always adjusting, but he was still a little slower.

If it weren't for the fact that Giron's forehand attack lacked a bit of explosiveness and Thompson's forehand was used instead, the point would have been scored directly.

Amid the turbulent waves, Gao Wen managed to get into position, but he had no time to swing his racket with his forehand. He could only chop and slice the ball. Then he had no time to observe Jilong's position or the effect of his own return. In a flash, he braked suddenly again and moved sideways to the left again.

Because the entire field was empty, Jilong could score from any position.

No matter how Jilong hits the ball, Gao Wen will disrupt Jilong's judgment through his running position.

One stop. One turn.

Sprint. Run.

It was then that Gao Wen noticed that Jilong had already reached the net, and his pressure was very timely, leaving no breathing space.
