--oh……

The O2 Arena finally woke up.

but……

It was more like confusion than surprise, as if the whole audience was Mr. Bean watching a pantomime performance, confused and unable to figure out what was going on.

No matter what, he finally came to his senses, and before he could focus his eyes he only caught a glimpse of a mustard yellow light.

Gawain was changing his rhythm; Murray was not to be outdone and immediately sped up.

In an instant, smoke billowed.

This forehand shot was solid, steady, powerful and decisive. He used the inertia of the sprint run to complete the power transfer and swung his hand out quickly with his wrist.

It was a subversive move, and it felt like you were playing chess and suddenly the whole chessboard was overturned.

"Straight line VS straight line".

Murray suddenly attacked, playing fast, revealing his true purpose——

After a stalemate and tug of war, the two players maintained a delicate balance, and Gawain lost control of the rhythm. Now Murray is trying to take back the initiative in controlling the rhythm and subvert the situation by taking the lead.

After all, this is a break point. Gao Wen can endure it, but Murray has to take action.

then.

Murray pulled the trigger first, again and again.

However! Murray immediately sounded the alarm and realized that the situation was not good just after he made a move: it was a trap.

Murray's attention was always locked on Gao Wen. He knew that Gao Wen was a master of layout, and his gaming and calculation abilities were absolutely top-notch in the current ATP, so he would not miss Gao Wen's reaction and counterattack. As soon as he shot the forehand straight line, he immediately realized that Gao Wen had set a trap in advance.

Gao Wen, after finishing the cut, moved towards the forehand gap on the right side, leaving the straight gap on the backhand side.

Murray was not without doubts about this, but he knew he needed to be decisive, not look back, not let his mind wander, and not be indecisive. He had to cut off any thoughts before they came to his mind, and his entire shot had to be clean, sharp, and firm enough, so that a forehand straight line could achieve his offensive intention.

Murray just made his move.

After a while, Gawain retreated.

Those movements, those defensive returns, those swaying were just feints, everything was just a smokescreen of a trap. In fact, Gawain firmly controlled his center of gravity and footsteps. After a simple adjustment of his footsteps, he successfully returned to the backhand position, even one step ahead, waiting on Murray's return line.

Oops!

Murray noticed Gawain's movements and the alarm sounded. His tactical intention was not to escape Gawain's layout at all.

Oops, oops, oops!

Awareness covers the entire field.

Murray immediately discovered that the space on his right side had been completely opened up, the door was wide open like a target, and the bull's eye was bigger than a basketball court.

Grass.

In the moment of crisis, Murray did not hesitate at all. All his judgments and choices were based on his intuition. He regained his best condition and started immediately.

With a sudden stop and turn, a second start, and a full-speed sprint, the speed instantly increased to the extreme, the footsteps crossed the entire court, and the rhythm of the game rose to another level.

Faster, faster.

Heavy and even heavier.

The O2 Arena had just woken up, and before they had time to fully understand what had just happened and what was happening now, the game was already tense.

Everything changed in an instant, just like a three-year-old baby, crying when he was told to cry and laughing when he was told to laugh.

Swoosh. Swoosh, swoosh.

The sharp sound of shoe soles rubbing against the court surged amid the daze and confusion of the entire audience, and Murray's figure crossing the court quietly ignited the atmosphere.

Then, everyone in the audience, including Murray, looked at Gawain.

Use both hands to backhand, stand still, turn your body fully, and swing the racket forward.

Hammering, strafing?

No, not really.

Just as Gao Wen was about to use all his strength to hit the tennis ball, releasing all his power and speed, the situation was unexpectedly overturned at the moment of the shot.

Pull, curve, topspin.

What...what happened?

Amid the stunned and confused gazes of the entire audience, the tennis ball rose high up. It was indeed a diagonal line, but the strong topspin broke the rhythm again.

It's a strong topspin, not a flat shot, but a topspin backhand shot with both hands, along the diagonal position, to find the big triangle position at the baseline.

Rapid rise, strong fall -

Like a shooting star.

Huh.

Cries of shock and astonishment surged in the O2 Arena. Apparently no one understood Gawain's shot selection. Not only did he fail to increase his speed, but he wasted his advantage by slowing down and giving Murray time to catch his breath.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Why, doesn’t Gao Wen want to get this point?

On the other side of the net, Murray couldn't understand it either. He had already fallen into a passive situation, but now Gawain pulled out a topspin, giving him time to breathe. Although he was still passive, he was not pushed into a desperate situation.

trap?

However, Murray did not have time to think about Gawain's tactical intentions, nor did he want to think about it, because Murray believed that this was most likely Gawain's real purpose, which made him suspicious, let him have wild thoughts, and trap himself.

No matter! No matter! Murray's footsteps were in place smoothly, and his two-handed backhand was already fully drawn. Facing the ball flying diagonally above his head with strong topspin, he forced his shot unreasonably and directly met it with his backhand.

Bang! Murray leaned back with his upper body raised high, found the hitting point awkwardly at the high point, and continued to lean back with his whole body to complete a full swing, launching an attack unreasonably.

Ah! Ah! The energy deep in his dantian continued to burst out, and Murray completed a difficult attack in a very passive and embarrassing situation. His body was almost overturned, and then the tennis ball turned into a beam of light and jumped out.

The center of gravity was pried open.

Adjust, adjust, and adjust with continuous small steps. Murray quickly completed the adjustment following the inertia of his body leaning back, and cut back to the middle of the court to continue defending. During the continuous crossover steps, his eyes were firmly locked on Gao Wen.

Slash.

Diagonal.

Backhand.

——Backhand again, “Backhand VS Backhand 6.0”.

Murray's attack did not risk changing direction, but went the other way and pressed towards Gawain's backhand again, which was more or less a bit stubborn and calculated.

Everyone thought that the situation would open up after Gawain changed the line first, but Murray refused to do so and continued to hammer at Gawain's backhand.

At the same time, Murray was always on guard against his forehand, worried about Gawain's backhand straight line. After all, this was Gawain's forte.

While adjusting his steps, Murray focused his attention on Gawain's hitting movements.

During the game, players may also be distracted. This is not only true for multiplayer sports such as football or basketball, but also for individual sports such as table tennis, badminton, and tennis. The focus may be lost during the batting process, and then the batting becomes erratic.

After the two players confronted each other for many shots on the backhand, Murray still did not lose his attention and remained highly concentrated. This is a kind of ability.

However, the key point is that Gawain was also not distracted.

Return to defense, brake, start, step, and adjust.

The details of the footwork were adjusted to remain light and agile, and the conditioned reflex was to pull back to the backhand position, lead the racket early, and set up the backhand with both hands like a cannon.

He quickly scanned the court and Murray's movement. Before he had time to think carefully, the tennis ball had already rushed over.

Fast and heavy.

So that's it. The real purpose of the super topspin on the previous shot is here.
