Chapter 319: Offensive Tide

In the studio, Zhan Jun and Hu Litao were trying their best to suppress their excitement and excitement. They exchanged glances and secretly suppressed their emotions.

On the court, the game continued without stopping.

After Isner's two serve points, it was Gao Wen's serve point again.

Gao Wen had just finished celebrating, turned around and slowed down a little, deliberately walked back to the baseline slowly, and then asked the ball boy for a few more tennis balls, using this time to calm himself down.

He caught Isner off guard, but Isner should counterattack now, so he needs to be more careful and smarter in his next two serve points.

He needed to collect his thoughts before serving.

First serve point.

In the second zone, Gawain sneaked into the outside corner, aiming for Isner's backhand.

Isner's reaction was a little slow because he was concentrating on his forehand. He thought Gawain would continue to suppress his forehand position. His reaction was a little slower and he missed the best hitting point. Although the racket still touched the ball successfully, the swing did not go around.

The tennis ball flew straight away.

“4:0”.

Second serve point.

Gao Wen attacked again, this time in the middle, without creating any angle at all, but his speed and power formed a suppression, which was surprisingly a flat serve.

In Gawain's serve, he focused on controlling the spin as a whole. At this time, he sneakily hit the flat serve, and the speed suddenly soared, reaching 121 miles (195 kilometers) per hour, catching Isner off guard.

Because it was a center serve, Isner did not fully relax his body and just barely held on for one shot. Then Gawain stepped into the baseline and hit a forehand backhand. This time Isner guessed the direction and defended for one more shot, but the quality of the defense was hard to describe.

Gao Wen scored this point with a high-pressure shot.

“5:0”.

Shocked! Stunned! Unexpected!

In the tie-break, Gawain's ball quality instantly improved, breaking the balance. Instead, it was his brilliant performance on the serve end that instantly pushed Isner into a desperate situation. Such a tie-break was definitely a situation that no one expected.

However, although the score difference seems huge, the actual situation is not the case at all. It is just a difference of two serve points.

Isner not only did not fluctuate, but calmed down, stood firm, and recovered a point through ACE.

Isner clenched his fists heavily, then turned around and roared at his team. It seemed that his suppressed emotions finally found a vent.

"5:1", the two sides exchanged venues.

In the tie-break, if the combined scores of both teams are six or a multiple of six, the courts must be changed, because tennis is mostly played outdoors, and it is necessary to ensure that the sunlight and wind direction have the same impact on both teams.

When changing courts, players are allowed to return to the rest seats to drink a sip of water and wipe off sweat, but they are not allowed to sit down to rest.

Both Gawain and Isner quickly drank water to rehydrate and replenish their energy before returning to the field.

ACE.

Isner still used his strongest weapon and recovered one point again, "5:2", this is Isner's normal performance, but the next are Gawain's two serve points. As long as Gawain can win one point, it will be the count.

The moment to test the mental state of players on both sides has arrived.

Snap. Snap. Snap.

Gao Wen was bouncing the ball, adjusting his breathing, looking up at Isner's position, then lowering his head and preparing to serve.

One shot, chase after the body.

But this time the flat serve was not fully accelerated, and the pressure on Isner was obviously reduced, so Isner's swing to get out of position was also more complete.

However, the quality is still not high, and defensive touch is indeed not Isner’s strong point.

Gao Wen quickly adjusted his steps and waited for the ball near the middle.

It has to be said that Isner is experienced. In critical moments, he would just return the ball to the middle to avoid the opponent from opening the angle as much as possible.

So, how will Gao Wen choose his offensive line ?

Tap tap.

Gao Wen took small steps to adjust his body, but there was no sign of anything from his body posture, and even his forehand and backhand could not be distinguished.

With a sideways step to the left, the forehand was already raised—

Direct shot!

Isner immediately moved towards his forehand and began to take care of his forehand out of habit, and then, he guessed right!

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Gao Wen hit a small skateboard with his forehand. Instead of increasing the power, he used the muscles of his wrist to complete the control and tear the angle as wide as possible.

Damn it!

Isner had determined the direction correctly, but his pace was still a little slow.

The most cunning thing about Gao Wen is that he uses a small skateboard to hit the ball to increase the side spin. After the tennis ball lands, it moves outward, further increasing the angle.

Isner's speed is undoubtedly his biggest weakness. He originally thought he could catch up, but in the end he still had to take another big step forward.

However, Isner did not give up easily this time, because he knew that once he gave up defense, the next step would be inventory.

Charge! Split! Isner's physical condition doesn't allow him to do the splits. He is not Djokovic, but he still takes a big step forward. His body has been stretched to the extreme within his ability. The racket becomes an extension of his arm and he slashes down hard.

rub.

The tennis ball flew out a full parabola, crossed the sky, and rushed towards the baseline in a deep and turning motion.

There is actually no rotation in Isner's shot. His return ball is very flat and very fast, and often flies directly out of the baseline due to lack of rotation. But this time, because his body lost balance and he received the ball in an extreme state, he accidentally added rotation to the cut.

In the end, a good defensive effect was achieved - not outstanding, but far beyond expectations.

The tennis ball returned to the middle again, and was only about one step away from the baseline, suppressing Gawain's footsteps and preventing him from entering the midfield to hit the ball.

Isner had no time to be happy. He hurriedly adjusted his steps, stood up immediately, turned around and rushed horizontally towards his backhand gap, because he had seen Gawain complete the shot with a two-handed backhand.

For ordinary players, when returning the ball in the middle, they are often accustomed to using their forehand to hit the ball. After all, the forehand is a more powerful shot. But Gao Wen is slightly different. He can hit the ball with both forehand and backhand, and the way of hitting the ball and the way of exerting force are slightly different, and the shape of the return ball will change.

This time, Gao Wen took the initiative to adjust his steps, make room, and pull up his backhand with both hands early, concentrating on aiming at the tennis ball. Then he moved his body up and took a big step forward, using the power of his body to drive the backhand swing, and directly blocked the tennis ball with force like splitting a mountain.

Boom! Hit the ball with all your strength!

Without giving the tennis ball time to spin, he used his strength to suppress it, hitting the ball hard, and the attack continued like a surging river! Boom! Boom! Boom!
