Chapter 65: Showing off one's talents Buzz

Buzz buzz buzz.

The air was surging. The whole place was silent. The sounds of breathing and heartbeats intertwined, stirring slightly in the air. It was as if one could feel the sparks spreading. It was even more intense and crazier than a professional match.

After all, professional competitions are about fighting for individuals, while the NCAA is about fighting for team glory.

However, the more excited you are, the quieter you become; the more excited you are, the more suppressed you become.

Because tennis is a special sport, known as a "gentleman's sport", it has many spectator etiquette. The most important one is that the audience needs to remain quiet when the players are serving and hitting the ball, otherwise the sound and movement may affect the players' concentration and ruin the viewing experience of the game.

This is not a mandatory rule, but it is basic spectator etiquette, which is also the biggest difference from other sports such as football and rugby.

Buzz buzz buzz.

Even though the audience remained silent, the air was still boiling and almost about to explode.

However, Gawain seemed unaware of it. When he stepped onto the court, his attention was completely focused on the game.

Squatting, standing up, jumping, Gao Wen moved his knees, and unconsciously, he moved his ankles and knees a lot, hoping that his muscles could be fully warmed up and relaxed. Deep in his subconscious, he still had some protective reactions, but he soon stopped and stood behind the baseline, ready to receive the serve.

Harris won the coin toss. Between choosing the court or serving, he chose the latter. His confidence could be felt from his eyes.

He stood firmly, bent his knees, bent over, held the racket tightly with both hands, kept his center of gravity swaying left and right, and was ready to push off the ground and attack at any time. He kept his eyes fixed on Harris on the other side of the court. From the moment he tossed the ball, he concentrated on observing Harris's movements and predicting the serve.

Left. Right. Left. Right.

Gao Wen's body swayed rhythmically, his eyes fixed on Harris' serve, and his brain immediately made a prediction -

Inner angle.

He jumped lightly on the spot, pushed off the ground with his right leg, and his whole body rushed lightly and flexibly to his left hand side. While moving at high speed, his upper body still maintained balance. His steps were flexible and his eyes were focused. He locked 100% on the fast-spinning tennis ball, and then stretched his body.

Lead the racket, hold the racket tightly with both arms, from bending the arms to opening the arms, stretch out the upper limbs like a spring, and at the same time use the left foot as the center of gravity. Push with the right leg, and the power of the sole of the foot bursts out through the rotation, pushing all the way to the upper body, the muscles of the back and shoulders explode, and all the strength is poured into it.

Swing! Touch the ball! At the moment the racket touches the tennis ball, the visual observation is verified - a flat serve.

Harris did not try to make a difference by rotating, but instead used the conventional route, using flat serves to increase speed and power and create pressure.

But Gawain's accurate prediction bought him a little bit of time. It was this little bit of advance time that was imperceptible to the naked eye, but it bought Gawain a little bit of space when receiving the serve, offsetting the speed of Harris's flat serve, and then he had already shot with a two-handed backhand.

Hit!

It was a smooth movement, with the racket hitting the tennis ball with full force and high speed at the moment of release. One could even feel the strong elastic reaction force of the tennis ball hitting the racket strings and then being pushed out. However, because it was a flat serve, Gawain did not need to worry about the rotation. He only needed to use the force to exert all his body weight on the tennis ball.

Swing!

Charge forward!

However, this is still not all, the backhand swings out in a full arc, and the body also applies pressure forward. You can see that the whole person has completely turned around, graceful and light, violent and strong, such a contradiction and such a harmony collides perfectly together.

Bang! With a twist of his wrist, the racket head sped up! Whoosh! The tennis ball flew back like an arrow, without even being able to stay in the air. The speed and force of the serve were then reflected back on the tennis ball. The superposition of acceleration and acceleration made the flying speed of the tennis ball reach a new extreme.

With a flash of light, the tennis ball drew a diagonal parabola, rushed out in a small slant line, and then landed in the big triangle between the baseline and the left sideline.

Snap! Push! Landing and rebounding, the tennis ball was compressed to the extreme and then became full again. The concentrated power burst out and blasted directly into the backboard at the back of the court at an incredible speed, making a loud noise! ​​The strong tail force dragged out a whirlwind, clean and neat!

Sharp and powerful! Harris stood there, unable to even react, staring blankly at the tennis ball flying out from behind him, like a fool.

"pretty!"

"Wow, return serve ace!"

"The young Bruins player showed his ability to hit the ball with a wonderful return winner at the beginning of the game. His accurate anticipation allowed him to catch Harris' serve in the first time, and his solid and sharp backhand successfully took advantage of the power of the serve and finally hit a faster and more powerful return."

"Harris had just finished serving, and before his body had time to return to position, the return ball had already landed in the forehand space behind him, leaving him with no chance."

"Wow, the speed of this winning point came out. Harris' serve was only 181 kilometers per hour, but the opponent's return speed reached 167 kilometers per hour, which is basically equivalent to smashing a serve back."

“The game just started and the young player of the Bruins team showed high morale and showed the opponent that he was ready to fight.”

In the commentary room, Sofar was explaining the situation on the scene with great enthusiasm. After a long day of commentary, he was also very tired and needed a little stimulation and excitement. Otherwise, it would be almost an impossible task to rely solely on the support of caffeine and nicotine.

There is no such term "return serve ace" in the rule manual. It is just the commentators' own interpretation. It means that when returning the serve, the ball can be fatal, so that the serving party does not touch the tennis ball at all, then it forms a response to the ACE of the serve, which is called a return serve ACE.

However, in the post-match technical statistics, there is no ACE in the return of serve, but it is recorded as a "winning point", also known as a "return of serve winning point".

Like ACE, returning a serve to win is one of the most morale-boosting ways to score points. After all, returning a serve to win is much more difficult.

This kind of opening has a bit of the flavor of the final victory.

Sofar also sincerely hopes that the young players of the Brown Bears can bring an eye-catching performance to avoid the game from becoming a one-sided defeat, and they also need to go all out to form a counterattack, which is worthy of such a long day of fierce competition.

Judging from the first point, at least the young people’s fighting spirit and drive are still very strong. This is a good start. I don’t know if this is due to luck or the first sign of their potential. They need to keep up the good work in the future.

"0:15".

The referee has already announced the score directly.
