Chapter 496: The Bayonet Saw
Blood In the middle, for the fourth time in a row, although the landing point was not exactly the same, and there were slight changes each time, but overall it was in the middle of the forehand area.
Then, in the next step, Cilic habitually moved sideways again and sprinted towards his backhand position.
inertia.
Because it was the same the previous three times, from left to right, to left and then to right, just like a round trip from a fixed point, inertia was forming from muscles to consciousness, so that the body had started to move before the brain made a judgment. By the time Cilic realized that the situation was not good, the center of gravity had already rushed out.
On the other side of the court, Gao Wen took the initiative to make changes and break the inertia.
In fact, inertia treats both Cilic and Gao Wen equally. Whoever breaks the inertia first will take risks and spend more energy.
This is what happened to Gawain at this time.
In the first three shots, his feet were always on the baseline; but this time, after seeing Cilic's return, Gao Wen took a step forward without waiting for Cilic to start, and went directly to the baseline. He led the racket early with his forehand, waited for the tennis ball to land, and then started to rush for the rising point.
Swing the racket! Hit the ball! The rhythm of the entire round suddenly accelerated, and the body also pressed forward with the hitting action, quickly pressing towards the net.
Follow the ball to the net!
But more importantly, backslashes!
Gao Wen took the initiative to step forward and used the pressure of his body rushing forward to help break the inertia of the hitting action, grabbing the rising point and hitting a repeated backslash landing point.
Back kick.
At the same time, he used the action of going to the net to exert pressure! The raging waves instantly rolled down towards Cilic's side of the court.
Squeak! Cilic was caught completely off guard. He braked suddenly and tried to fly back, but it was too late. Even though he flew into the air, he could only watch the tennis ball fly towards him. It seemed that the speed was not fast, but it landed accurately in the big triangle of the baseline.
Winning points! "AD: 40".
Cilic fell to the ground in a somewhat awkward manner, and looking at the tennis ball rolling on the ground, he felt powerless. He turned his head and looked over the net, and then he saw Gawain looking at him, without clenching his fist or cheering, but just looking at him with a firm gaze.
Quietly, firmly, and murderously.
Cilic muttered a curse word, but swallowed it vaguely, supported himself with his hands and stood up again, his temper inevitably getting irritable -
From three consecutive break points and set points to being brought to game point by Gawain, the powerful impact of falling from heaven to the ground in a short period of time was really not pleasant, but if he could not recover as soon as possible, he might continue to fall into hell after hitting the ground, which was definitely what he did not want to see.
"Come on, Marlin, come on!"
Cilic kept jumping lightly on the spot, cheering himself up, waiting for the gurgling and boiling waves in Arthur Ashe Stadium to calm down a little, and then Gawain was ready to serve.
District 2.
Outside corner.
Here it comes, the outside corner of the second zone appears again, consistent with the serve routine on the third break point, Gao Wen once again chooses to suppress Cilic's backhand, but this time the details are slightly changed, the angle is deliberately not widened, between close and outside corner:
In fact, this type of serve is the easiest to use because it is within the arm's range. You only need to stretch your arms to hit the ball immediately, and there is no need to adjust your feet over a large range. However, Gawain suddenly attacked with a standard "practice serve", not close or to the outside corner, but instead broke Cilic's judgment.
Cutting.
Cilic's feet were moving sideways quickly, but he found that the line of his serve was regular and he didn't need to move at all. Moving would instead destroy his hitting point, and his swing was squeezed. He could only cut once in a hurry. Looking at the 198-centimeter big guy curled up in a ball, he looked really pitiful.
But in desperation, Cilic still gave his best performance, using the cutting rotation to cut a straight line, and then immediately moved to his backhand to defend.
straight line?
Gao Wen moved sideways quickly, and seeing that the incoming ball lacked speed and power, he immediately changed the line of his forehand, returned to a straight line, and sent the tennis ball back to Cilic's backhand position.
Ah! Cilic was very depressed, stumbling back to defense, but fortunately, Gao Wen's ball was aimed at the angle and landing point, and the power was not superimposed to the extreme, which gave Cilic a little breathing space, and he used a backhand slice for the second time in a row.
Diagonal large diagonal.
Cilic needed to mobilize Gawain, forcing him to move quickly sideways back to his backhand position, and then he would attack immediately with a very solid and sharp backhand, combining all the speed and power, and aiming at the diagonal line and blasting it out directly.
Bang! Cilic realized that the situation was not good when he saw Gawain's whole body fully stretched out with the stroke. He took a series of small steps to adjust and came to the outside of the singles line. He held the racket tightly with both hands, and sweat seeped out of his palms, but he knew he had to take a risk to break the situation.
Push off the ground! Turn! Swing! Push! Cilic's two-handed backhand suddenly exploded again, using the force to push a straight line -
This is not the first time.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Very sudden and very unexpected.
Gao Wen was instantly put into a passive position. He just finished the attack and turned around to enter the continuous sprint defense mode, sprinting towards the forehand position at a whizzing speed.
But this time, Cilic's line was not completely straightened, but in the middle of Gao Wen's right half of the court. This also meant that Gao Wen saved some time running. Two steps in advance, Gao Wen had already begun to observe the entire court, trying to find the best offensive route.
Found it! He pushed the ground hard with his right leg to brake, and swung his forehand along with the momentum of inertia. Facing Cilic's powerful drive, he made a strong pulling motion with his forehand, and then used the strength of his wrist to turn and twist towards the diagonal position.
Swoosh! The entire flight trajectory of the tennis ball was changed, from a flat shot to a strong topspin, whizzing towards the diagonal direction.
What? Cilic was briefly stunned, and Gawain actually chose a small diagonal line, a shot between the ball and the serve, which landed outside the service area.
Tap, tap, tap! Tap, tap, tap! Cilic started running at full speed, which meant he had to run a diagonal line, which was also the longest distance on a tennis court in theory.
The wind was raging, the blood was burning, and Cilic's speed had been increased to the extreme. He could even feel the sound of his calf muscles bursting, but he could no longer care about it at this moment. He just ran without thinking, with only the mustard yellow tennis ball spinning in his sight.
Getting closer!
Closer! Cilic has entered an anaerobic state, his speed has increased to the extreme, his body is completely stretched out, and he stretches forward with his forehand holding the racket.
A little more, a little more! I have reached it.
Cilic lifted the ball lightly with his forehand, hitting the ball completely before it hit the ground, relying only on the strength of his wrist to lightly lift the ball over.
...It's done! (End of this chapter)
