Chapter 649 Dreaming of New York
Dengdengdeng!
Gawain was running at full speed, his footsteps had already arrived in time, and he even had time to observe Murray's position and choose his own hitting line——
Straight line? Or diagonal line? In a split second, Gawain noticed Murray's lateral movement after regaining his balance. He didn't hesitate and swung his racket.
Slash.
Back kick.
Gao Wen's footsteps were firm, his forehand power was full and abundant, and he sped up instantly, with both strength and speed raised to a higher level, taking the initiative to break the deadlock.
Whoosh! The tennis ball turned into a flash of lightning, whizzing past in a mighty manner, rushing across the court towards Murray's forehand position -
Murray was ready to break through from Gawain's forehand, and Gawain was also looking for a weakness in Murray's forehand.
So, what about Murray? With a kick and a turn, an abrupt stop and a sharp turn, Murray's second start was very fast, his footwork and center of gravity control were textbook-level, and he had already snatched the ball away with a lateral step.
Oops!
Gawain immediately realized the crisis. It seemed that Murray's lateral movement just now was a feint. In the calculation and counter-calculation, both players were setting traps. Gawain tricked Murray in the previous shot, and Murray tricked him back in the next shot.
tread.
He pushed hard against the ground, and his whole body jumped out. Gao Wen immediately moved sideways in small steps and returned to the center of the court. Then, it can be seen that Murray still exerted force at the critical moment.
With a push and a rush, the whole body moved forward. Murray also seized a rising point and pushed forward with his forehand, and the wrist wrapping pushed out a straight line.
Backhand, backhand, still suppressing backhand!
Moreover, Murray's ability to leverage the opponent's force was excellent, and he bounced all of Gawain's hitting power back by hitting the wall.
Ah! Gawain was moving at high speed. The only thing to be thankful for was that his footsteps were already moving in this direction. He just needed to continue moving forward with inertia, but his footsteps still needed to be faster, faster.
The muscles were continuously exploding, and the power was continuously released in the stomach, but it was still a little short. It might be difficult to get there relying solely on footsteps, so he pushed the ground with his legs hard to push his body out directly.
Like a rocket.
The two-handed backhand completes the racket lead early, and the swing is completed following the inertia of the forward rush. Because the body's center of gravity is unbalanced, the swing cannot be completed completely, so the push can only be completed with the help of the forearm and wrist swing, a simple and clean small-range hitting action.
Even in an extremely difficult and passive situation, Gawain still did not hit the ball conservatively. He aimed his peripheral vision at Murray's entire empty backhand court, gritted his teeth, and burst out with amazing strength even though his body balance was shaky.
Swing!
Hit the ball!
Release it all without reservation! Bang.
Just before the body was about to fly out, the ball was hit. From the corner of my eye, I could see the tennis ball turning into a stream of light and rushing out diagonally.
Take small steps and make adjustments in continuous small steps.
Gawain could clearly feel the continuous tension in his calf muscles. He controlled his center of gravity in the midst of the turbulent waves. He did not have time to stand firm, but immediately continued to push the ground hard, relying on a series of dazzling small steps to regain his center of gravity, and moved horizontally to his right again.
Defense!
Gao Wen knew that when facing giant players, he always needed to prepare one more shot, because their ability to predict and save the ball was too strong. Unless the tennis ball had bounced twice, the point would not be over.
Then, Gawain saw Murray.
really!
Even though Gawain's diagonal shot was very risky and almost hit the sideline, Murray still rode his horse to the goal.
The super big diagonal line pressed against the sideline, and the angle was completely torn apart in an instant.
No matter how fast Murray's feet are, he is still half a step short. His body's center of gravity is unstable when he is running at full speed, and he cannot complete an effective swing. Then you can see Murray reaching forward with both hands and swinging the racket down hard.
Cutting!
Offense and defense, initiative and passivity are constantly changing. At this time, Murray is already extremely passive and is forced to backhand slice. So is this a chance for Gawain? No.
Small ball, Murray chose to use a slice to hit the small ball in front of the net, which was very sudden and unexpected!
At the same time, it was very effective and turned the situation around again.
Damn it!
Gawain indeed forgot this. It's not that he didn't think about it, but it was his first meeting with Murray, and the two sides were too unfamiliar with each other. He needed time to figure out some of the batting habits and line choices, and at this moment, he was caught off guard by Murray.
Push off the ground!
Push off the ground!
Push off with all your strength!
Running at full speed! At least, Gawain anticipated that Murray would have the next shot. He touched the ground with his toes, and his body was very light. Even though it was extremely sudden, he rushed out at the first moment.
As fast as lightning.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
He used his speed to the extreme, held his breath to enter an anaerobic state, and stared at the tennis ball intently.
Murray's small ball technique at the net is excellent, with delicate touch and precise control, at the same level as Federer, which can be seen in this ball.
With his body almost unbalanced, Murray's control of the ball was still excellent. The light parabola just passed the net and then fell lightly, only one step away from the net. The control of height and length was already the best level under difficult situations, and he really couldn't ask for more.
The only regret is that the force was not completely unloaded, so after the tennis ball landed, the rebound height was a bit high, and the vertical height returned to above the horizontal line of the net belt.
Opportunity, this is Gao Wen’s opportunity.
Whoosh, the wind was whistling, the storm was raging in my ears, the speed had been increased to the extreme, and then, with a split and a slide, he slid forcefully on the hard ground indoors, completely lowering the center of gravity of the body, and leaning his arms and upper torso forward.
Getting closer.
Closer! Closer...
Catch it! Then, with a slight flick of the wrist, at the moment of the ball, the wrist suddenly exerts force to make a pushing motion, and the next second you can see the tennis ball fly out directly.
rub.
It brushed the net but did not change its forward trajectory. Instead, after passing the net, the parabola took a sharp turn and fell off a cliff.
Huh! The audience gasped in disbelief, because Murray still did not give up and was chasing at full speed. His footsteps were even near the serving area. Whether he could catch the return ball from Gawain was not certain for the time being, but at least he had a slight chance. However, now...
The power of the tennis ball was completely consumed because it hit the net. After it landed, it rolled out without any bounce.
"0:15".
The referee has already announced the score directly.
The first point of the game was won by Gao Wen after a contest of thirty shots.
Boom! Thunderous applause exploded instantly, and then Gawain could be seen clenching his fists, his chest rising and falling violently, but his eyes were unusually bright, looking at Murray unwaveringly, showing his high morale.
In an instant, I dreamed of returning to New York!
The young man who created miracles and wrote history once again shined the audience.
