Chapter 375 Another Victory
Whoosh! The tennis ball drew a thrilling rainbow arc, passed over Kyrgios' head lightly and nimbly, and fell quickly towards the bottom line.
The previous second, Kyrgios was covering all the lines in front of the net; the next second, Kyrgios turned around and ran wildly, rushing towards the baseline in the posture of a 100-meter sprint. This should be the first time in the entire game that Kyrgios showed his strongest speed, and his outstanding explosive power was fully demonstrated at this moment.
From a visual point of view, it was very difficult to catch up with the return ball, but Kyrgios had already reached it in the blink of an eye.
He pushed off the ground, turned around, rotated counterclockwise, and then used the inertia of the turn to swing the racket. His whole body rotated at high speed, and the forehand power was completely released, and he smashed it hard.
Boom! The tennis ball flew diagonally with a thunderous momentum, and the route through the entire court was very slanted and tricky, tearing out an "inside-out" route, which caused a burst of exclamations in the Arthur Ashe Stadium. You can even see that many Australian fans have stood up with their fists clenched, ready to celebrate Kyrgios's score.
However! Huh! A dark blue figure swept past like a gust of wind. It was so fast that it could not be seen, leaving behind a row of afterimages behind the baseline.
The power of his calves burst out completely, his brain was completely focused, as if he had melted into the strong wind. He made a backhand lead early, but found that it was still a little short. Kyrgios' forehand was too heavy and too fast, compressing Gawain's defensive space to the extreme.
But this time Gao Wen didn't want to cut anymore.
Push off the ground! Charge forward! The entire upper body is fully extended, and both hands are already swinging forward on the backhand. The forearms are swinging with all their strength, and the wrists are quickly swung forward and charged forward. The racket head speeds up completely, and after the racket is out, the whole person continues to charge forward, the body is completely thrown out, and the feet also rush forward together.
"Power vs. Power"! Even though Kyrgios's forehand power was fully released, Gawain's two-handed backhand's ability to resist and change direction was fully demonstrated at this moment. Even when facing Kyrgios' forehand head-on, he was not at a disadvantage. In an instant, he hit back like Mars hitting the Earth.
Boom! The flight path of the tennis ball was immediately reversed, and it rushed in a straight line at full speed.
Ah! In a blink of an eye, Kyrgios was the one who fell into the passive position.
Active; passive.
Passive; Active.
Every shot between Kyrgios and Gao Wen changed the situation, and the personal abilities and tactical thinking of the two players were fully demonstrated at this moment.
Kyrgios is sprinting sideways.
Gawain was sprinting vertically.
When Kyrgios finally got his defense in place, Gawain had already arrived at the net early, blocking all routes, and then the confrontation situation at the net and the baseline had been reversed.
Kyrgios glanced at Gawain's position and found that Gawain's backhand was very straight. His training was still a little bit worse. Could it be that he could only lob the ball? Ah! Kyrgios's unyielding will burned up, and he burst out with a burst of power. He took another big step forward and grabbed the swing space.
Push off the ground! Swing the racket! Hit the ball!
Kyrgios's forehand suddenly rose again, swinging forcefully and unreasonably, and once again -
"Power vs. Power"! Kyrgios hits Gawain's shot back with all his strength:
Diagonal line, diagonal.
whoosh.
The tennis ball was flying at full speed, and could even be seen being squeezed into an oval shape, trying to break through Gawain's forehand position.
Standing in front of the net, Gawain pushed forward! He pounced! His entire body stretched out like an eagle, and he intercepted the ball horizontally with his right hand. Just before the tennis ball was about to go beyond his coverage, his right hand, stretched to the extreme, successfully intercepted the mustard yellow streamline at the top, and pressed his wrist down hard.
Ping pong.
Bang.
The tennis ball’s powerful sprint flight was intercepted directly and slammed back into Kyrgios’ court like a ping-pong ball.
Boom! Time seemed to stand still for a moment.
Wang Dalei sat there with his muscles stiff, watching the tennis ball return to Kyrgios's court. The next second he saw Kyrgios, who was about to run to catch up, but his feet couldn't push off the ground and he staggered and almost fell. He used his hands and feet to barely control his body, but it was too late.
Land, two jumps, dead ball.
Ahhh! Wang Dalei jumped up from his seat, his mind went blank, and the gushing emotions instantly overwhelmed him. The only thing he could do was scream—
Winner!
Gawain wins!
Gawain really won!
Ahhh! Wang Dalei completely lost his mind and screamed without a care in the world. Then the entire Arthur Ashe Stadium began to boil over, with the mighty heat waves continuously hitting like a hurricane.
No one could stay seated in their chairs any longer.
No one! "...two-handed backhand straight line."
"...a forehand diagonal shot into the net."
"… volley short ball at the net."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Zhan Jun watched every move on the court intently, silently paying attention in his mind, and then when he saw the tennis ball bounce twice and Kyrgios could no longer catch up, he lost consciousness in an instant -
“Win!”
"Gawain won the second match point with a brilliant interception at the net, defeating the talented new Australian star Kyrgios with a score of '3:1' and reaching the round of 16 in his first Grand Slam in his career!"
"incredible!"
"incredible!"
Zhan Jun's mind was blank and he didn't know what he was saying. He just released his passion incoherently and his vision became blurred without him noticing.
Who could have imagined it? Who could have imagined that Gawain would beat Isner, who could have imagined that Gawain would beat Bollelli and Kyrgios in a row, who could have imagined that Gawain, who was participating in his first ATP-level tournament in his career, would win three games in a row and reach the top 16 of a Grand Slam? "Unbelievable!"
Zhan Jun turned his head to look at Hu Litao, only to find that Hu Litao was staring at the screen in a daze, breathing heavily with his mouth open, as if his brain was lacking oxygen. At the moment of truly making history, he had no thoughts at all, just enjoying this moment to the fullest and immersed in it completely.
In the center of Arthur Ashe Stadium, Gawain completed his last block and finally smiled after seeing the tennis ball hit the ground.
Aww...Woo!
Gawain jumped up high, clenched his fists, and punched the sky. The passion and heat deep in his chest could no longer be controlled and burned completely, continuously and wantonly! The raging waves of the mountains and seas were released all over the sky and the earth.
Whoosh.
Whoosh.
The wind was howling and it was almost midnight in New York, but the dazzling lights and overwhelming waves were still surging wildly.
“Ouch!”
The netizens who were watching all this quietly on the other side of the Pacific Ocean were all caught up in a frenzy. There were no other words in the comments, only a mighty wolf howl, announcing their powerful rise with one heart! "Awooo!"
The wolves responded.
