Chapter 328: Pressing forward

Boom! The flight trajectory of the tennis ball was so stunning and so gorgeous. Gawain's wrist strength at the last moment became a crucial technical detail. The full rotation made the parabola of the tennis ball draw a curve that fell sharply over the net, limiting Isner's possibility of another volley attack!

whoosh.

whoosh.

The wind is howling.

This time it was Gao Wen's turn to run at full speed , along the vertical line, across the baseline and rushing to the net.

As the name suggests, after flying over the net, the falling parabola will suddenly become steeper and faster, forcing the opponent to squat down to hit the ball. If the racket face cannot be controlled slightly, the return ball line may deviate, and the ball will either go directly into the net or end up as a bad shot.

Whatever it was, Gawain knew Isner's return would be short, so he had to sprint to the net and make his next shot.

While running wildly, Gawain could clearly see that Isner had blocked the flight path of the tennis ball with just one adjustment of his steps.

Isner also realized that the ball needed to be handled carefully when it fell over the net. He carefully brought his knees together, lowered his center of gravity completely, and used both hands to block the ball delicately and lightly with a backhand shot. He relied entirely on the small muscle strength of his arms to complete the control, and pushed forward to complete the return.

rub.

The next second, the power and rotation of Gawain's full-strength hit were all removed, and the ball flew over the net like a feather and landed on the right side of the court on Gawain's side.

But there was still a chance! Although Isner had done his best to unload the force, his rough technique still prevented him from paying enough attention to details and unloading the force completely. As a result, the return line of the tennis ball was short enough, just one foot in front of the net, but the height of the rebound was not controlled.

Snap. Snap.

Fall heavily and bounce high.

Moreover, it was a topspin ball, flying towards Gao Wen's direction.

To be precise, the quality of this small ball at the net can only be described as average.

This is the opportunity.

Dengdangdang! Gao Wen rushed forward very quickly, but he had to control his steps to avoid touching the net. He rushed to the serving area in a flash, staring at the tennis ball intently. At the same time, he was concentrating on observing Isner's position and conceiving the three-dimensional space of the court.

Find the return line!

Then, he started to lead the racket with his forehand, and his entire upper body leaned forward while his feet were still behind, rushing forward like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

Snap! Gao Wen's right hand was ready to swing the racket, but he didn't use any force. Instead, he used his wrist to cut in. Before the tennis ball bounced high and fell under the net, he took advantage of the fleeting gap and quickly flicked and pushed the ball.

Very light and very careful! Snap! No need to exert force, but a spiking action similar to badminton, flicking down and spiking in front of the net.

The tennis ball drew a straight line and went out through the narrow passage on Isner's left.

"Ugh!"

Isner let out a muffled groan. He immediately realized that something was wrong and lunged forward. However, because he was too hasty and anxious, his center of gravity was unstable and his steps became unsteady. He rushed forward awkwardly, trying to intercept the tennis ball.

pity.

The tennis ball disappeared from Isner's sight like an elf, and by the time he caught sight of that mustard yellow again in the chaos of the court, the tennis ball had already fallen behind his feet.

Moreover, within the boundaries.

Boom! "Good job!"

"pretty!"

In the audience stands, Jiang Yanyun clenched his fists and stood up, throwing himself into the game with his whole heart and soul, as if he was fighting side by side with Gao Wen. The boiling blood could no longer be suppressed, and the surging passion exploded in his chest.

In the studio, Zhan Jun and Hu Litao both raised their arms and roared with ecstasy, staring at Gao Wen who was holding up his right fist with a firm gaze on the court. Their rationality had been completely ignited and they could no longer care about anything else but just followed the ups and downs of the heat wave on the scene.

"Gawain!"

"Gawain was the first to break Isner's serve!"

"Gawain successfully withstood two of Isner's forehand attacks, and when Isner ventured to the net, he remained calm and hit a high-quality drop shot over the net. Compared to the shot that won the final point, this drop shot over the net was the return that turned the game around."

"Isner chose to go to the net without warning in the tie-break. This was a very sudden change, but it would be difficult for anyone to stay focused when facing Isner's 206cm height coming to the net, especially since Isner's shot to the net was very solid and had a strong impact, which made the return more difficult."

"But Gao Wen was not affected. His mentality and two-handed backhand were the same. He hit a solid shot over the net and dropped sharply, eliminating Isner's advantage at the net."

"pretty!"

“This is really beautiful!”

"Isner attacked beautifully, and Gawain counterattacked even more beautifully. In the end, Gawain was the first to break Isner's serve in the tie-break. Now the score is 5:3, and he is still two points away from winning the game."

When the words came out, Hu Litao calmed down.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

I was afraid that my own eagerness would disrupt my rhythm, just like a wish that would not come true once it was spoken out, so I forced myself not to focus on victory anymore.

But this is really, really difficult, as if we are back to the moment when Li Na got the match point at the French Open.

Then, Zhan Jun's voice came to my ears.

"The most important thing right now is to stay calm."

"Gawain's performance was very calm and composed. He didn't look like an 18-year-old boy at all, let alone a young man participating in his first Grand Slam tournament, at least on the surface."

“The next scores are more important and more difficult.”

"Gawain needs to keep his head calm and be brave enough to attack. Otherwise, if he just waits for Isner to make a mistake, it will be difficult for him to win."

Just as Zhan Jun said, perhaps the calmest and most restrained person in the whole audience was Gao Wen.

After scoring at the net, Gawain did not wantonly vent his emotions, but simply clenched his fist in celebration, gave Isner a determined look that sent a message, and then, without stopping, he turned and strode toward the baseline, ready for the next point.

One point. Another point.

One link. Another link.

This was the only thought in Gawain's mind, because he knew clearly that a one-point advantage was almost nothing in a Grand Slam tournament. Any slight bit of luck could ruin all his efforts and might even allow Isner to take the initiative again.

After all, Isner has participated in the Grand Slam many times and faced countless difficulties. From the perspective of experience and mentality, he is much more experienced than Gao Wen.

so--

Focus. Focus. Focus again.

After adjusting his breathing, Gao Wen had already reached the bottom line.

First update.
