Chapter 209 Murderous
One comes, one goes.
One comes, one goes.
The back and forth of the ball was so exciting that the audience couldn't help but hold their breath, with their eyes constantly following the movement of the tennis ball.
Gu Xiao had an illusion that the sound of hitting the tennis ball was his own heartbeat. He could feel the tension and excitement that was about to burst with every hit and every collision. The crisis-ridden and ups-and-downs round of the ball made his nerves tense to the extreme, and he completely forgot to breathe.
Until——
Bang. Jilong suppressed.
Bang! Gawain counterattacked.
The tennis ball landed in a blind spot outside the serving area, exploded like an angry bird, and then flew high toward the audience stands.
"Competition, high."
The referee didn't need to look at the linesman at all, because the ball landed right next to his feet. He could clearly judge that it was in bounds, so he directly announced the score:
Gao Wen took the third break point in this game and broke the serve successfully.
Boom! Gu Xiao's eardrums roared, and his brain fell into chaos. He didn't even remember what he had done. He just felt like a volcano erupting, releasing energy continuously, as if the whole world was shaking along with it.
Ah! Tobias clenched his fists and stood up suddenly. The bulging veins extended rapidly along the back of his hands towards his neck. The gurgling and boiling blood was burning, and the surging heat wave instantly filled his entire brain.
Roar!
roar!
Catharsis!
Turning his head, Tobias could see Sampras's smiling face, as if he was making fun of Tobias's gaffe, but Tobias didn't care at all at this moment. He just hugged Sampras tightly and roared to his heart's content.
Wonderful?
Not only that!
It was simply explosive! In the crucial rounds and crucial points, both players showed 200% of their fighting power despite the predicament of running out of energy, fighting to the last moment, both of them got the chance to win, and both of them completed incredible defense. The suppression and counterattack of the round ball were always happening.
Until Gao Wen, who performed tougher, more determined and more outstanding, won the game directly with an indisputable return shot!
Such a game! Such a will! Such a temperament! A vivid interpretation of the most wonderful and moving charm of competitive sports! Ah! Tobias was no longer reserved, roaring with abandon, celebrating this point and this moment, paying high tribute to the two players.
"incredible."
"God! Unbelievable!"
"Eighteen rounds! The two players completed eighteen rounds of competition under extreme conditions. Both sides entered an anaerobic state. After the shot was over, neither of them had the energy to celebrate or cheer. They truly burned all the energy in their bodies and pushed each other to the extreme."
"We should applaud Jilong for not only daring to exert force, but also daring to take risks. In this duel, he showed us more possibilities. It's not just that he is ranked third in the United States. His wisdom, his will, and his ability all prove that he has more possibilities."
"But this point was still taken away by Gao Wen."
“Incredible performance!”
"Gowon saved at least two shots from desperate situations, and his excellent defensive quality made it difficult for Jilong's offense. He showed a top level beyond his age in terms of rotation, rhythm and arc control. In the last shot, he lost his center of gravity and used the force to hit the ball, which showed Gowon's amazing ball feeling and touch."
"incredible!"
"Gao Wen won the point with an undisputed performance. After 13 minutes and 7 seconds of hard fighting, Gao Wen finally broke the serve and ended the game."
"Now, Gao Wen has reached a 6:5 lead. After a short 90-second break, he will serve to win the match!"
Ahhh! Roar! The whole place is boiling! The audience has gone crazy.
The two players' wonderful performances completely ignited the enthusiasm of the entire audience. Even though the game had been going on for a full ninety minutes, they were not tired at all and were still looking forward to a more exciting match.
People were applauding Gao Wen, but at the same time, people were also cheering for Jilong.
It was not because they hated Gao Wen nor because they supported Jilong, but because they were reluctant to let the game end and hoped that this peak showdown could continue. It would be even better if there was a deciding set, so they needed Jilong, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, to cheer up and unleash his inner strength again.
Boom boom boom! The whole place erupted! The endless cheers and applause surged, as if every cell in the body could feel the heat and join in the applause.
For the first time, Gu Xiao truly understood that watching competitive sports live and watching them on TV are two completely different things.
But compared to the heat of the whole stadium, Gawain and Jilong really had no extra energy.
The ninety-second break between games is truly precious.
Gao Wen's knees were trembling slightly. Even though he had just completed the extra point the day before, the strong confrontation in this game really drained all his physical strength. He could really feel that he was burning.
However, Gawain did not reject this feeling, because it was so vivid and so real, and he felt the pulse of vitality beating like never before.
He enjoys such moments.

Now, all he needs to do is calm down, stop thinking about championships and victories, and focus on his serve.
Start with the serve.
Because Jilong will never give up easily. As a teammate, Gao Wen knows Jilong's tenacity and will very well.
If we are a little careless, the situation may be reversed.
calm.
He needs to calm down.
call……
Gawain exhaled heavily, then closed his eyes, took a deep breath in the darkness, and listened to his own heartbeat.
Plop.
Plop.
Plop! He opened his eyes, stood up, and walked onto the court holding his racket. He was ready to serve.
"The 90-second break between games is over. Both players are back on the court. Next up will be Gao Wen's serve to win the game. The freshman is still four points away from making history."
Snap. Snap. Snap.
Gao Wen was bouncing the ball with a clear mind. He knew that his strength had reached its limit and was about to reach its limit, so he needed to play smarter, especially since Jilong might let go and fight with all his might in this game, he needed to calculate more carefully.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Jilong.
Throw the ball, bend your knees, push off the ground, turn your body, and swing your arms.
The whole serving action was very smooth and complete, and then the tennis ball was hit out.
Press forehand in the middle and serve close to the opponent.
Jilong's eyes were fixed on Gao Wen's movements. His judgment was completely correct. From the force action to the serving angle, the entire prediction was correct. So, he slightly adjusted his steps, moved sideways, and completed a complete forehand swing, preparing to serve.
Steal the first serve? Is Jilong crazy? This is the first serve, and he actually started to exert force directly? Even Gawain only stole the second serve, but Jilong, who has weaker offensive firepower, dared to steal the first serve? On the edge of the cliff, Jilong had already risked his life - after all, Gawain's physical strength had seriously declined, and his power to push off the ground was insufficient. The speed and power of the first serve had obviously declined. If he gave it a try, he might be able to steal it! The third update.
