Click to kill!
It's not a heavy slam, but a point kill.
When Murray jumped up to smash the ball, he realized the hidden trap of Gawain's return, the sidespin. Just like Murray, he cleverly concealed the sidespin to create a deviation. The hitting point might be slightly off the expected point, and the feeling of the shot would naturally be different.
If it is cutting, like Gao Wen did, using rotation to create rotation to control the position is feasible and relatively easy.
If you use force, like Murray did, it is easy to lose control of the rotation, especially in the situation of high pressure in the air, where it is particularly difficult to exert force.
In desperation, Murray did not force the shot, but chose to hit it lightly.
Focusing on control, he used the line and landing point to limit Gao Wen's return, and paved the way for his next attack, hoping to get the winning point.
——Oblique line, external rotation, shallow area.
Murray tried to use the point kill to completely break the angle, but just as he made the shot, he saw Gawain's figure in his peripheral vision.
Run, sprint, be decisive.
Gao Wen's steps were very determined. He had accurately predicted the line of Murray's high-pressure ball, sprinted across the court at full speed, and led the racket early with a two-handed backhand. Not only did he not retreat, but he launched an offensive while moving at high speed.
A push, a pull, the whole sweep is not an unreasonable force, but a flat push, pushing as deep as possible along a straight line.
The purpose is clear and specific.
According to Murray's position, push behind Murray.
Murray was startled and ran wildly along the diagonal direction of 45 degrees behind him. Seeing that the tennis ball was about to break through his position, he leaned forward suddenly, and with a posture of looking back at the moon, he scooped up the tennis ball and completed the interception before it hit the ground, relying entirely on the strength of his wrist to scoop up the tennis ball and push it back.
Huh! Amid the exclamations of the whole audience, Murray staggered and hit a return shot, and the tennis ball flew unbelievably towards the sideline of Gawain's forehand position, so fast and tricky that the ball pierced through the court like an arrow.
The situation suddenly changed again——
The competition was extremely intense, and every shot of the ball could potentially turn the entire situation around.
On the other side, Gao Wen sprinted at full speed and crossed the entire court for the second time in a row.
Here, Murray staggered to adjust his steps and went to the net again without hesitation.
One horizontal axis, one vertical axis, two figures moved quickly on the court, and the confrontation between them instantly made the O2 stadium into a frenzy.
Tap, tap, tap, tap—
Gao Wen, sprinting at full speed, but it was not enough.
Then.
With a push of his foot, his right leg slid out, and he did a complete split, with his body extending out. It seemed that there was no space left for him to hit the ball, because Murray's volley had no rotation or power attached, and there was almost no bounce height after landing, leaving Gawain with only a tiny bit of space, and he didn't even have time to swing his racket.
Cut horizontally, lightly lift the ball, and flick the wrist quickly, and the speed of the racket head will increase suddenly.
High ball! Gao Wen once again raised the ball, and this time the swing of his forearm was obviously more complete, using the swing of his arm to complete the upward arc pull.
Whoosh! Suddenly, the tennis ball dived into the light and almost disappeared.
Murray's heart suddenly contracted and he retreated quickly, taking small steps back. He ran halfway to observe the falling curve of the tennis ball. Just as he was about to intercept the ball with a high shot in the air, he immediately found that his hitting position was not favorable. He might not be able to exert force smoothly, just like the previous high shot.
Close the shot, retreat, and turn around.
Without hesitation, Murray made his judgment, choice and action, and came to the point where the tennis ball landed, with his feet basically standing in the big triangle position of the baseline. At this time, it can be seen that Gawain's control of the high ball was excellent. Although it did not go into the dead corner, it was not far away. He easily pushed Murray back to the baseline and reversed the situation.
But Murray also made the right judgment. With a counterclockwise rotation, his forehand was released along with the force of the rotation, exerting force instantly.
Critical hit!
Bang……
With a crisp and solid sound of hitting the ball, Murray's forehand completed a sweeping shot and he launched another attack from the baseline.
The tennis ball went diagonally back to Gao Wen's forehand position.
Gawain, right here.
After hitting the ball with a sliding step and splits, use the racket to support your body, jump up again, take small steps to adjust your center of gravity, and then the tennis ball will fly over.
There is no breathing time.
Gao Wen's forehand was launched without hesitation, with a solid stroke, striving for a fast rhythm of attack connection, releasing power and speed without reservation, and launching a head-on attack when he saw the opportunity.
"Forehand VS Forehand".
Gawain's shot increased the power and speed to a higher level and sent it back to Murray's forehand, successfully reversing the passive situation and returning to the balance of confrontation.
Murray's footsteps were still within the baseline, and he could immediately feel the quality of Gawain's shot, which was solid, strong and impactful enough. The rolling air waves hit him in the face, leaving no time to react at all.
Subconsciously, Murray fought back, hitting hard with his forehand.
"Forehand VS Forehand 2.0".
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The game was in a complete stalemate, with Murray taking complete control and the two sides attacking each other back and forth, and the rhythm and intensity continued to rise.
Then--
Gawain fought back.
At this moment, one can see Gao Wen's courage and style as the fifth giant. He had just gotten rid of the passive situation and before he could adjust his footsteps, he had already taken a small step forward and launched an attack with full force with his forehand.
Forearms, wrists, speed up.
A flick.
straight line!
Gawain shot without hesitation, changing the line in the powerful collision of strength and power. The difficulty of this shot lies in Murray's strength and Gawain's adjustment. When his breathing and footwork were not fully adjusted, Gawain did not choose to transition and tug-of-war, but forced a change of line in an anaerobic state, which instantly reversed the situation.
Stunned! The entire O2 Stadium was stunned. There was only a buzzing sound of thunder and waves on the eardrums. The world briefly fell into a state of complete silence. This connection, this power, and this control were absolutely top-notch.
When a master attacks, you can tell whether he has the ability or not with just one move.
It only takes one shot to turn from defense to offense.
Gao Wen's forehand, which has always been underestimated and ignored by people, is as powerful as a thunderbolt and has also demonstrated the hitting ability of a top player.
Not only did the line change successfully, but the landing point was also accurate——
It's perfect.
But in fact, Murray never felt that he was in full control of the game. Even if he took the initiative in offense, Gawain's return of the ball with defense instead of offense forced him to stay tense all the time, and he was always swinging on the tightrope when attacking. Now he was pushed into a passive dilemma.
Run wildly, run wildly all the way.
Murray was completely free of distractions, entering his own world, focusing on the tennis ball. He didn't need to think and didn't have time to think. The moment his footsteps were in place, he had already hit a two-handed backhand.
Courageous! Resolute! Tough!
With no choice and no way out, he could only go all out. At this moment, Murray regained his best self, showing an unbreakable two-handed backhand, not only withstanding Gawain's powerful attack, but also further increasing his speed.
"Power vs. Power"! Ah! Strength, explosion, release.
Ahhh! Murray, without reservation.
