Chapter 317: Attacking the Second Serve

Isner’s second serve was spinning, and he lost a serve point in the tie-break. Isner immediately changed his strategy and used his best tactics. In the increasingly tense situation, he resolutely restricted Gao Wen through his serve.

The effect is outstanding.

Because the height of the tennis ball after it bounced off the ground had risen above Gao Wen's shoulders, it was very awkward no matter how he returned the ball.

Push on the ground to brake and hold the racket high.

Gao Wen barely managed to use his racket to hit the ball hard downwards, but since there was no room to swing the racket, there was naturally no way for him to exert force, so he could only try his best to increase friction.

Swoosh! The tennis ball started to spin violently. It was obviously a tennis ball but it had the effect of hitting a badminton. Then you could see the tennis ball floating over there, like a feather. If there was a slight gust of wind, it might fly to the ends of the earth.

Wow! The audience couldn't help but let out a low cry of surprise, and then watched the tennis ball fly across the court:

Out of bounds? In bounds? On the other side, Isner was already waiting at his forehand position.

Obviously, Gao Wen had no other choice. In the extremely passive situation, firstly, he could not control the return line of the ball; secondly, the diagonal line was the longest return space. If he wanted to return the ball into bounds, then the diagonal line was the best choice.

really!

Tennis is coming!

Isner just stood there, without moving his feet too much, waiting for the tennis ball to fly over, ready to attack with a forehand smash.

Tap tap.

Tap tap.

Isner was adjusting his steps and preparing for his forehand swing, but suddenly he found that the tennis ball was falling faster than he had expected, which was obviously a backspin ball.

"Attention, John! Attention!"

Isner was highly focused, his knees slightly bent, his center of gravity lowered, and the next swing was already in place.

However, the falling speed of the tennis ball was higher than expected. Isner found that his movement was a little slow, so he was forced to speed up his racket. The last moment of the racket was a little hasty, and the whole force action was not complete, so he hit the tennis ball in a hurry.

Diagonal lines! Whoosh!

Whoosh!

At this moment, you can see the tennis ball flying over at full speed, while Gawain stands still without moving, just in time to catch the ball.

Bang! With a full shot, Gawain's feet were obviously more stable. In addition, Isner's flat shot had almost no rotation, which was more suitable for even force. This time, Gawain's full strength was completely focused on the tennis ball.

Whoosh! It can be clearly seen that in the "forehand vs. forehand" confrontation, Gao Wen has the upper hand. His return ball is heavier and faster and flies back directly.

Isner's feet didn't move at all, he just made small adjustments.

Then it can be seen at this time that the footwork adjustment of this tall guy was very rough. Although there was no problem with the hit, the hitting point was not accurate enough. In the end, when he shot the ball, he relied entirely on his upper limb strength to force the ball.

Of course, relying solely on upper limb strength, Isner's forehand still has a strong impact.

Boom! Still a forehand! At this moment, the audience held their breath, watching the two players in the forehand confrontation, showing the violent aesthetics of tennis to the fullest. They couldn't believe that Gao Wen was not at a disadvantage in the forehand duel.

Indeed, Gawain was not at a disadvantage, but he knew that in terms of absolute strength, he was still slightly inferior. If this continued, Isner's advantage would gradually become apparent.

He needs to make a change! Change the line? No, this is a battle of momentum. Gawain deliberately wants to challenge Isner's forehand. He is going to break through from here and break the balance of Isner's tactical system, paving the way for the follow-up. Looking at Isner's persistence in hitting the forehand position, we can know that Isner has fallen into the trap.

Therefore, Gawain cannot change his strategy, he needs to implement his tactics to the end.

So, use the force to hit the opponent? Or change the rotation? Both! Adjustment, small step adjustment, continuous adjustment, Gawain's footsteps immediately formed a sharp contrast with Isner. It can be seen that he is watching the ball and constantly adjusting his footsteps to find the best hitting point.

tread.

One push off the ground, one swing of the racket.

On the surface, there seems to be no difference, but in fact, one can see the delicate skills of Gawain.

It was also a forehand shot, but at the moment of shooting, Gao Wen did not "push" the ball with force, but "skateboarded" the ball. You can clearly see the arc of his forearm turning outward, and his fully stretched body was like an eagle, light and unrestrained, and then his wrist turned outward.

Brush, brush, brush.

You can hear the tingling sound of the tennis ball quickly brushing against the net line, and finally it escapes from the friction range of the racket and flies out.

Swoosh, whoosh! The tennis ball turned into a long, long stream. They could clearly see the mustard yellow stream dragging all the way outward, flying towards Isner's forehand.

"ah!"

Isner immediately realized that something was wrong. Although he also returned to his forehand, Gawain hit a skateboard ball. The flight path of the entire tennis ball suddenly became shallow and clear, and it fell directly into the serving area, rushing over like an outside corner serve. Isner's footsteps suddenly became hurried.

Cross-step, cross-step.

Isner reacted very quickly, but his clumsy steps made him look a little awkward. He hurried to the hitting position, but found that Gawain hit a backspin ball again, forcing him to squat down with his whole body, and make a "fishing for the moon in the bottom of the sea" action, barely cutting the tennis ball and hitting it -

The importance of footsteps is immediately apparent.

If your steps are flexible and arrive in time, you can still hit the ball; but if your steps are slow, the hitting point will be very, very low.

Isner was a little embarrassed:

How did he end up in this situation? Isner had no time to think. He stood up and immediately took a series of small steps to move sideways. He ran as fast as he could, trying to defend his own defensive gap, because Gawain's variation shot had already pulled Isner out of the sideline, and the entire court was empty.

Subconsciously, Isner naturally thought that Gawain's next shot should be hit into the open space.

Tap tap tap.

Isner was running at full speed. His serve had never been so embarrassing before. The sudden rhythm made Isner a little flustered.

From the corner of his eye, he could see that Gawain had already appeared on the field.

He immediately entered the baseline and reached the midfield in two or three strides. Isner's defensive return was of poor quality and just floated back to the middle and midfield, but Gawain was still highly focused and adjusted his position with a series of small steps.

Before the tennis ball hits the ground, the forehand is already in position, like drawing a bow to shoot an eagle: Gun turrets, set up! (End of this chapter)
