Chapter 313 Tactical save
Whoosh…
Whoosh…
Because it is a super-large stadium, the air flow easily forms wind sound, and you can always catch the gentle sound of the wind narrating in your ears.
Gao Wen's mood was slowly settling down.
"calm!"
There is no essential difference between Isner and those power players in the NCAA, such as Domyan, Kerbert, Thompson, etc. Gao Wen used to be most afraid of facing such players, but it is no longer the case now. He knows how to face power players and how to open up the situation.
“Just stick to your strategy.”
Gao Wen took another deep breath and returned to the baseline.
Stand on tiptoe and shake.
Shake and jump.
Left, right, left, right.
The attention was focused again.
Isner on the other side of the court was obviously not affected at all. He looked up at Gawain, then hit the ball twice again and performed his usual action, reaching his left hand behind his back, bouncing the tennis ball between his legs, and then catching the rebounding tennis ball with his racket, preparing to serve.
Push off the ground, throw the ball, turn, and swing the racket.
One shot, still online.
Inner angle.
Gao Wen did not have time to calculate the speed of the serve. The strength of his calf muscles suddenly burst out, and he immediately pushed his body horizontally to the right.
Stretch, leap, and soar.
Gawain rushed out with light steps, and with one forehand touch, the strength of his flexible wrist wrapped around the tennis ball, but Isner's serve was too heavy and too fast, leaving Gawain no room to wrap around it, and the tennis ball bounced out.
But Gawain's swing was not over yet. He quickly pulled the racket above his head, trying his best to increase friction and attach as much topspin as possible to prevent the tennis ball from going into the sky like an anti-aircraft gun, but to use the rotation to fall into the court.
Swoosh! The tennis ball flew high up, drew a full parabola, and then fell towards the other half of the court like a rainbow.
In! Isner's subsequent reaction was very fast, and he followed with a series of small steps.
Gao Wen knew the danger, but the problem was that it was difficult to control the landing point of his return ball, and the tennis ball still fell into the empty area between the service line and the baseline.
This area is also called the midfield ball, and is considered the most suitable area for attacking in a tennis match.
Isner, however, did not take the incident lightly.
As he walked forward, he looked up to observe the rotation and landing point of the tennis ball, and immediately realized the fast-spinning topspin. In other words, if he pressed down with force, if the angle of the racket face was not right, the tennis ball might be hit directly into the air like an anti-aircraft gun.
careful!
Isner adjusted his steps continuously but gave up the idea of driving the ball. Instead, he turned sideways and used a one-handed backhand to slice the ball, removing all the power and rotation, and hit towards Gawain's backhand change of direction.
Very smart choice.
After Gawain barely caught the ball, he was still roaming in the middle area, ready to defend. But when he realized Isner's hitting method, he immediately started moving.
The cleverness of Isner's shot selection lies in unloading the force.
Gawain naturally thought that Isner would hit the ball with all his strength, so he stood obviously back and took a defensive stance, but now Isner hit a ball that was far and shallow, easily putting Gawain in a passive position.
If it was Isner who needed to save the ball at this time, he would just give up chasing the ball, but Gawain would not do that.
Dengdengdeng! Dengdengdeng! Gawain rushed forward diagonally with such speed that one could clearly see the strong wind blending into his body, and then his footsteps had already rushed over.
He used a two-handed backhand to cut into the space between the ground and the tennis ball. He quickly glanced at Isner's position out of the corner of his eye. He had obviously already taken two big strides to the net. His height of more than two meters was like a wall across his field of vision, blocking all angles.
High ball! Gawain noticed Isner's knee movement to lower his center of gravity, and was obviously worried that Gawain would hit the ball directly into the net, so Gawain simply changed his hitting technique and used the strength of his wrist to lightly lift the ball. The seemingly simple action was very delicate and careful.
Whoosh! The tennis ball flew high into the air.
Isner realized at the first moment that the situation was not good. He stood up straight immediately, and with his tall height and long arms, he flew high into the sky like Spider-Man.
but!
“Over the top!”
Hu Litao was very surprised. They had never seen any of Gao Wen's games before and had no idea that Gao Wen's touch was so excellent and so clever. He almost lost his balance and yet he lobbed the ball over Isner's head. This was by no means an easy task.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
He thought that Gawain had lost the point, so he made a sound unexpectedly, but he quickly closed his mouth and focused on the flight trajectory of the tennis ball.
Moreover, the control of the landing point is also very good, it is actually within the baseline!
Tap tap tap.
Tap tap tap.
Isner refused to give up at this time. The moment the tennis ball passed over his head, he realized that he seemed to be fooled, and he chased after the tennis ball reflexively.
He arrived in a few strides. Considering the chaotic sense of space on the entire court, Isner did not turn around, but went straight over the tennis ball and hit a crotch shot. With a clever hit, he directly pulled the tennis ball out of a main line and flew towards the empty space on the court of Gawain.
It actually went over the net! The audience was overwhelmed, first marveling at Gawain's lob over the top, then at Isner's crotch-shot, but before they could catch their breath, they could see Gawain was already there.
After the previous shot, Gawain did not relax his vigilance, but quickly adjusted his center of gravity back to the midfield, paying close attention to Isner's shot. When Isner chose to hit the ball between his legs, Gawain had already run at full speed towards his forehand shot.
Isner did not turn around, which meant he had no way of knowing Gawain's position. So based on the space on the court in the previous shot, his choice of breaking through Gawain's forehand was undoubtedly the best hitting line.
Tap, tap, tap! Gawain's footsteps were as fast as lightning, and in a blink of an eye he was already on Isner's return line.
One step, one turn.
Then, with the help of the power of turning, the forehand swing is completely in line with the trajectory of inertia, and the strength of the forearm is used to bring out a sweeping swing, and the racket head speed instantly rises to the extreme.
Bang! Isner was still turning around to adjust his steps, trying to find the position of the tennis ball, and then he saw that Gawain's return ball had entered his court. He subconsciously flew out to his forehand, trying to intercept it in front of the net.
However, it was all too late.
Gawain's forehand diagonal shot was fast and off target, but in the blink of an eye it had already broken through Isner's position and landed accurately on the right side of Isner's side of the court. After bouncing off the ground, it quickly rushed out. Only then was Isner half a beat late in blocking the net.
Boom! "40:15".
The referee announced the score directly.
