Chapter 401 Gritting Teeth
"Whoa!"
“Huh!”
“It’s amazing!”
There were constant exclamations and surprises in the studio, and one could even see some people unable to contain their excitement and clapping their hands in applauding this exciting match.
In an extremely passive situation, Gawain chose to actively release the ball, and as a result, he used his incomparable delicate touch to release a backspin ball, which did not give Wawrinka any chance to hit the ball. He then won the point incredibly and got the break point for the first time in this game.
The whole place was seething with excitement.
The audience couldn't control their excitement and excitement. They talked about it, their eyes shining. Because of this incredible goal, and because Gao Wen got the break point with this amazing goal, this game really entered the stage of bloodshed.
No one expected it.
Even Wawrinka applauded Gao Wen. The two players smiled at each other in front of the net. The tension eased a little, but it did not last long. They both returned to the baseline immediately because it was a crucial point and everyone wanted to seize the opportunity.
Rustling.
Rustling.
Louis Armstrong could also feel the subtle change in the atmosphere. Everyone seemed a little restless, but the two people on the court were particularly calm and their attention was back on the court.
District 2.
After Wawrinka stopped bouncing the ball, he started bouncing the ball again. It can be seen that he was also adjusting his serve thinking, and then he started to toss the ball——
Outside corner.
Wawrinka aimed at Gawain's backhand and served to the outside corner. The angle was not completely torn, but the speed and power both returned to the peak state of the first serve. Although Gawain did not have time to look at the speed meters on both sides of the court, he could feel that the speed should be above 195 kilometers per hour.
Obviously, Wawrinka was ready to suppress Gao Wen with power. Instead of focusing on rotation and placement, he also sought changes in his serve.
but!
Gao Wen was very prepared in his prediction and highly focused. He took a big step towards his backhand position. The power of his calves pushing the ground was very solid and sufficient. His whole body was pushed out steadily. However, due to the suppression of Wawrinka's serve power and limited space for swinging the racket, he used two-handed backhand to hit the ball diagonally back.
Bang! Wawrinka had been waiting for his backhand early, and immediately noticed that Gao Wen chose to use the force to hit the ball flat, without spin control, which was a good thing for him, and the whole hitting point was more comfortable, so Wawrinka stepped sideways and hit the ball head-on with a one-handed backhand.
Bang! Stretch, smooth, extend, and be cool.
Wawrinka's one-handed backhand was powerful and solid, and he hit the tennis ball back diagonally.
"Power VS Power"! It can be seen that on the break point, Wawrinka returned to his most familiar power attack routine, continuously exerting power from serve to backhand, and the weight and rhythm of the entire shot were improved.
Huge waves are coming towards us.
In fact, if Gawain took a step back a little, he could gain more time to swing the racket, but this would put him in a passive position. Gawain refused to accept this situation, so he came back to defend his forehand position, stomped his left foot hard on the ground, and hit the ball back with both hands.
Bang! Gao Wen could sense Wawrinka's power. The power of the tennis ball was so strong that he had to squat down a little to absorb the impact.
If it was a forehand, the instability of the racket would probably be exposed and the quality of the return would inevitably decline; but the backhand shot was able to find enough support, and it withstood Wawrinka's attack, and also noticed Wawrinka's intention to defend the forehand, and returned another shot diagonally.
"Backhand vs. backhand!"
Wawrinka and Gao Wen were once again involved in a strong backhand collision, which was the second time in this service game.
In fact, both players have been trying to cover their forehands with their footsteps, guarding against their opponents' line changes, because their opponents' backhands have super strong line change capabilities - at the Australian Open at the beginning of the year, Wawrinka's straight backhand made Djokovic and Nadal very embarrassed.
Then the two players simultaneously suppressed their opponent's backhand, forcing the opponent to make sudden stops and turns within a short distance.
Two rounds, three rounds, four rounds.
Implicitly, when both players were looking for a change of line, especially Wawrinka's continuous backhand force, he tried to suppress Gawain with his strength, but he did not expect Gawain to withstand four consecutive impacts, and his entire backhand performance reached a new level, which pushed the stormy confrontation between the two strong teams to a new height.
At this moment, all the spectators who were watching the game forgot to breathe, and only the crisp and solid sounds of hitting the ball echoed in the huge Louis Armstrong Stadium.
"ah!"
Wawrinka's one-handed backhand hit the ball again, and his entire upper body was completely torn and stretched, tearing the tennis ball at a larger angle and rushing towards Gawain's backhand. After landing, he rushed towards the wide space outside the doubles line, slightly breaking the balance of the two people's confrontation.
Gawain was able to catch up in time, but the force of his push had already fluctuated significantly.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
In the powerful confrontation of power and power, Wawrinka still suppressed him. His return ball could remain stable, mainly because of the mutual support of his two-handed backhand; but now he is gradually approaching the end of his strength, and I am afraid that his backhand can only last for two shots at most.
Change is urgent.
But how should he change? What if Wawrinka's backhand is about to fail? Should he grit his teeth and continue to hold on, or take the risk and change?
Gao Wen is well aware of the rarity and value of break points, but he should not be restrained by their preciousness. He just needs to be more shrewd in choosing tactics.
Push off the ground! Push the whole person out! Swing the racket! The racket-leading action is obviously faster! Step forward! Just before reaching the hitting point, Gao Wen did not slack off. Not only that, but he was even more diligent and took the initiative to take a step forward.
Because Wawrinka actively opened up the angle, the tennis ball had more topspin, which meant that for the 193-cm-tall Gao Wen, it meant that he had the opportunity to launch a downward attack from top to bottom, provided that he needed to seize the rising point and could not wait in place until the flying height of the tennis ball exceeded his shoulder line.
With a push! With a step! Gao Wen took a step forward, and his racket-leading action obviously accelerated. At the moment of hitting the racket, the speed of the racket head was completely increased. A roar erupted from the depths of his dantian! A powerful force jumped from the soles of his feet all the way to the top of his head, and all the pores on his body opened up!
"ah!"
It was like thunder from the blue sky, blasting towards the diagonal line! However, Gawain's step forward successfully grabbed the rising point, and further tore the diagonal line apart. The return ball landed in the service area, and the thinner and larger diagonal line rushed out like a cannonball.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The whole court seemed to hear the roar of Gawain's powerful blow echoing for a long time, and then they could see Wawrinka running at full speed. He had set up his one-handed backhand early, but his arm was caught by the strong topspin, and his swing was just a little late, just a little bit.
Eat.
The tennis ball was hit directly and flew into the bright and magnificent sunset above the head.
