Chapter 205: Empty the Gas Tank
"Equally divided."
As Gawain's return ball went into the net, the referee announced the score again. At the same time, Sofar also sighed with regret.
"…From the results, it can be seen that Gao Wen's leg kicking power was still slightly insufficient. It was not enough to rely solely on the upper limbs to pull the ball, resulting in the return ball not crossing the net. He missed the second break point in this game, which was also the sixth break point in the second set."
"But looking at the whole confrontation, Jilong's forehand straight line broke Gao Wen's body balance, which established an advantage and forced Gao Wen to lose his footing during the fast movement, so the power of his legs could not keep up. In this point, we must also praise Jilong for playing very actively and not being soft on the break point."
"This is the fifth time the game has been tied."
"Gilon missed three game points and Kovan missed two break points. Both players fought very hard and burned their last bit of energy almost without reservation. It can be seen that Kovan wanted to break the tie at the end of the second set very much, but Gilon still played well."
"In my opinion, this was indeed the most exciting and exciting game in this year's U.S. Championship. Both players have shown all their weapons and performed beyond their level with their physical strength and energy at their peak, relying on willpower to fight hard."
“Wow.”
“Whoever wins in the end will undoubtedly deserve the championship.”
The stadium stands were also filled with a sense of tension, excitement, nervousness, excitement, and anxiety. The scorching air made it almost impossible to breathe, and the heart was on the verge of bursting, but they couldn't stop, just looking forward to the match being more exciting and thrilling.
A little more fierce, I can still bear it! Snap. Snap. Snap.
Jilong is bouncing the ball, and the two players are still on the same starting line. Whether the next point will be a break point or a game point will still have to be known after the competition.
From the first set to the second set, Jilong had faced such a situation many times, so he was very calm and not nervous at all.
Serve, inside corner.
It was a first serve, but the physical strength of both players decreased significantly. At this time, the power and speed had obviously decreased. Even for the first serve, the speed was not fast, but the angle was pursued to form suppression. After all, Gao Wen now did not have enough explosive power to directly connect the serve ACE.
Inside corner, backhand.
Gao Wen's prediction was very accurate, and he got one step ahead, but the power of his legs pushing off the ground was still a little weak, so his speed was naturally a little slower, and he failed to get the ball in his backhand shot. He just completed a regular backhand shot, but because of his accurate prediction, he was able to hit the ball at the right point.
Bang! The shot was very solid!
Gao Wen successfully used his backhand to hit the tennis ball against the wall, and returned it the same way, pressing it very deep, only about a big step away from the baseline.
Jilong quickly adjusted his steps and hit the ball with his forehand. He could hardly swing the racket and just barely used the force to push the tennis ball back to Gao Wen's forehand position.
Adjust, adjust.
Gao Wen took two small steps to adjust and hit a diagonal forehand shot in an attempt to create a new angle, but his control was obviously reduced, and his racket swing speed did not keep up, so the angle line did not reach the ideal state. The result was more like a basic transition ball.
Naturally, Jilong arrived very quickly.
A series of small steps arrived like a tornado, and there was even time to adjust the steps and the swing of the racket.
Push off the ground, turn your body, and swing the racket.
Jilong's forehand force was very solid, and he bounced back all the force that Gao Wen had put on the tennis ball, actively changed the line, and hit a straight line.
"Power vs. Power"! Both players realized that offensive opportunities are not so easy to come by, so when they see a slightly suitable opportunity, they must be bold and take action directly, otherwise they will fall into a passive position.
Whether it is Gao Wen or Ji Long, both of them showed their courage at the critical moment!
Bang! The shot was also very solid, with both power and speed, but like Gao Wen, the speed of the racket head at the moment of the shot was not fast enough, so the straight line was not completely straightened.
Simply put, the angle was not controlled well, which also left Gao Wen with enough time to defend.
Tap tap tap.
Ta-ta-ta! He rode his horse to the destination in a few big strides, and observed Jilong's position from the corner of his eye.
After completing the forehand strike, Jilong immediately realized that the quality of his attack was lacking, and his feet quickly moved sideways, preparing to defend the entire backhand gap on the left side.
Why? Wasn't he worried about Kohler's backhand straight shot? Mainly because of his declining physical strength, Kohler's shot control was often a little worse. In the second half of the second set, his backhand straight shot went into the net several times. In such a situation, hitting the diagonal shot was a safer and more reasonable choice.
What's more, Gao Wen's backhand diagonal shot also has the ability to hit a small diagonal shot with a skateboard, which is also a very lethal shot.
Defending the diagonal line, this is a reasonable choice.
Gao Wen had already noticed the direction in which Jilong was moving. His brain started working quickly and he took a step forward.
A big step!
It was this big step that instantly allowed Gao Wen's body to quickly approach the flight trajectory of the tennis ball, grabbing the rising point after it bounced off the ground, and then the two-handed backhand was completed.

Bend your knees.
Lower center of gravity.
The 193-cm-tall Gao Wen completely lowered his body and swung his racket with his two-handed backhand from bottom to top, with the force of pushing off the ground by straightening his knees. He relied on the forward inertia of the previous step to make up for the lack of physical strength, and gritted his teeth to increase the speed of the racket head to the maximum.
Ah! The sound of muscles bursting was released instantly, and the backhand swing with both hands was completed. Then the whole person pressed forward, and the hitting action was controlled by the wrist strength at the moment of the racket, pushing forward and outward.
Bang! The power from deep in Dantian burst out, and with a shout, the whole body pressed forward, and after the tennis ball flew out, it continued to move forward with the swing, using this inertial movement to increase the tail force of the swing.
Whoosh! The tennis ball turned into a streak of light, suddenly changed direction, suddenly accelerated, and rushed out in the blink of an eye.
Fast! Straight! Heavy!
The tennis ball changed its flight trajectory, drawing a very straight line, successfully changing its course and rushing towards the half of the court that had been completely cleared.
Land. Bounce.
In a flash, the tennis ball hit the barrier behind.
Jilong made a complete misjudgment and his feet were still moving towards his left side, and then the whole audience burst into cheers.
"First, Gao."
As the referee announced the score, Gawain clenched his fists again. He no longer had the strength to roar, but the murderous intent in his eyes was still rolling. He looked across the court and fiercely towards Jilong. A resolute and ruthless force burst out from the depths of his soul, mobilizing all the little energy left in the tank, burning fiercely.
It’s as if you can see the blue color of the burning soul.
Second update.
