Chapter 758 Meticulous

In competitive sports, when top players meet on a narrow road, what is the most important thing? Willpower! In the 2012 Australian Open final, Djokovic played against Nadal. The two top players played a five-set battle that lasted a full five hours and fifty-three minutes. The final set was fought to 7:5, creating the longest time in the Grand Slam final in the Open Era, and also the second longest time in the Grand Slam singles match in the Open Era.

Second only to the epic marathon duel between Isner and Mahut at Wimbledon in 2010.

In the end, Djokovic won this epic match.

But there are no losers.

During the award ceremony after the game, both players were dehydrated and suffered cramps, and even needed help to walk up to the podium.

This game also proves that tennis is a special sport, about wisdom and confrontation, about layout and breakthrough, and about perseverance and challenge.

When the players think that things are over, the reality is that they still need to ask whether the opponents are willing. Any relaxation may turn the situation around.

In a tennis match, all players will encounter physical limits. After all, they are not supermen. Especially in a Grand Slam with a best-of-five format, how to allocate physical strength is a tactic as well as a will.

It is precisely because of this that the training of "training match + suicide" becomes more and more precious——

Both the brain and the body are sending signals that "the game/training is over", but in fact, it is not, so after a short relaxation, you have to tense up again.

This is undoubtedly a very important exercise and tempering for the players, especially in terms of willpower.

Last season, McDonald was the only one on the Bruins who could keep up with Gowen. Giron was able to keep up in the early stages, but was gradually left behind, mainly because his acceleration ability was slightly inferior.

This season, almost no one on the Bruins can keep up with McDonald's pace. Rapp should be the only player who will not be lapped, so much so that everyone on the team trembles when they hear about this training.

And now? "McDonald vs. Gawain", who will have the last laugh? Not to mention Rapp, even Sale and Di Giulio became nervous. Such a scene has not been seen for a long time.

MacDonald is accelerating.

It can be clearly seen that MacDonald took the lead, just like in a marathon, someone suddenly rushed out of the team to take the lead, disrupting the entire running rhythm; at the same time, Gawain was neither hurried nor slow, always following his own pace, slightly adjusting his speed to avoid the distance being directly widened.

Despite this, McDonald's sudden acceleration still gave him a slight advantage, and he gradually widened the distance, half a body length, one body length, and in a blink of an eye he was leading by about three to four steps.

As he went back and forth, you could clearly see sweat oozing out of McDonald's red and black face, and his breathing became rapid due to the continuous acceleration, but his eyes still sparkled brightly, and he burst out with a firm willpower.

The audience couldn't help but hold their breath.

Lapu's heart slowly rose up along his throat:

The captain, worthy of being the captain, was not inferior even to the legendary figure! His blood boiled uncontrollably, and he was eager to go onto the court and compete with the legendary figure. His high morale had been ignited.

Tap, tap, squeak.

Tap, tap, squeak.

Run, brake; run, accelerate, brake.

Because the interval between the round trips is not long, the acceleration is always improved. It is more about rhythm control, especially speeding up.

Sayre noticed immediately that Gawain was speeding up.

Unlike MacDonald's absolute speed increase, Gawain shortened his stride while increasing his stride frequency, which meant that the entire rhythm began to speed up. In terms of absolute speed, the improvement was not obvious, but the running rhythm was increasing little by little, which also made Gawain's movements start to speed up.

It's like pressing the accelerator key while playing a video. On the surface, everything remains the same, but the speed is accelerated.

Getting closer.

Closer.

Unconsciously, Gawain was closing the gap, and the figures running back and forth were getting closer again. The competition was becoming more and more intense.

"come on!"

"come on!"

Finally, the shouting could no longer be controlled, as if they were witnessing the final battle of the 100-meter sprint, and they shouted along with everyone else with their blood boiling.

However, the outcome was still uncertain, because Gawain and MacDonald agreed to only run ten round trips, which was not a long distance. This also meant that Gawain had little time to overtake. As long as MacDonald could maintain his speed and withstand Gawain's attack,

Then, MacDonald can cross the finish line first !

MacDonald was accelerating for the second time, but Gawain's frequency and rhythm maintained a uniform upward trend. He ran faster and faster, and very easily. His crisp, agile and light movements turned the dreaded "suicide" into a leisurely and comfortable stroll in the garden.

Keep pace with each other!

"come on!"

Overtaken by one body length! "Ah!"

Gawain's full speed has been fully unleashed. On the last turn, he has entered the 100-meter sprint state. His strength and speed control in sudden stops and turns are perfect. His light as a swallow posture makes all the players and students standing next to him dazed.

Huh! The whole audience exclaimed!

Gawain had already pulled away, three body lengths, five body lengths, and then, he sprinted and crossed the finish line!

At the last moment, Gawain was leading by nearly half the length of the field. He sprinted forward with all his might and slammed hard into the wire mesh surrounding the training ground.

Ah! The crowd around burst into exclamations, followed by screams and cheers.

Although it was said to be half the court, it was actually only about five or six meters. MacDonald followed closely behind and completed the sprint, following Gawain's footsteps and rushing towards the barbed wire, panting heavily.

huff huff.

MacDonald looked up at Gawain, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then a smile bloomed: It’s been a long time since we last met, and the Demon King is still the Demon King.

“Ahhhh!”

“Ahhhh!”

The audience finally came to their senses. Seeing Gawain at such a close distance, they could no longer control their screams and roars, and erupted with overwhelming energy.

Rapp stood beside the court and turned to look at Sale in disbelief.

"Is this true? Is this really happening?"

"Isn't this too powerful? Isn't this too fierce?"

Excited and joyful, cheerful and happy, Lapu continued to jump on the spot, holding his head with both hands and exclaiming.

Sale and Di Giulio exchanged glances, somewhat helplessly, but then both laughed. This should be considered the standard ending.

"He's still just as perverted."

"For a moment, I didn't know whether I should be glad that the pervert finally left, or regret that I can't continue to fight alongside this pervert this season?"

The old players around all burst into laughter and looked at Sale, saying with their eyes, "I understand you."
