Chapter 777: Laughter and
Joy It’s amazing.
Unbelievable.
Nadal couldn't believe his eyes and just kept asking over and over again.
"How did you do that? How did you do that!"
Gawain himself was also stunned. He looked at Nadal with wide eyes, then raised his hands high to join the celebration, "In? In bounds?"
The two men paused, exchanged glances, and after confirming with each other, they realized that the goal just now was real, and both burst into laughter.
Gawain took the initiative to jog towards Nadal, and the celebration ceremony was performed for the first time in this game, with high fives, fist bumps, and ended with both fists clenched to cheer.
Snap. Bang.
Two quick and clean moves, and then Nadal was a little slow to realize that he had actually done this with Gawain, and that it was really out of character for him to perform a planned celebration in an actual match.
But seeing Gawain laughing heartily, Nadal finally let down his guard and started laughing too, but he still couldn't help but shook his head, feeling somewhat helpless.
This scene was completely within the sight of the audience.
Ah! Ah! The audience could no longer suppress their excitement, and the scattered cheers and screams burst out with energy amid the applause that spread throughout the venue.
This is the greatest charm of competitive sports, temporarily forgetting the constraints of reason and simply enjoying the pleasure of adrenaline rush.
Wow wow wow!
The howlings of admiration came one after another. It was obvious that the fans had been suppressed for too long. They needed to vent, to release, and to interact with the game.
Continuously!
Yu Jia couldn't believe his eyes. This should be the most lively and noisy day since they arrived in Doha. After getting used to the quietness for two days, he now felt a little uncomfortable. It was like Tang Monk who fell into the Spider Cave. He didn't know where to put his eyes.
All you can see are all kinds of cotton and linen robes, fluttering in the wind, with arms raised high and dancing wildly along with the jumping movements. It looks like a rock music festival held in the desert, noisy, lively, deafening, but with a weird charm.
At this time, Gawain finally regained some of his thoughts. He could see that on the other side of the net, Borelli was applauding him in admiration, with a smile in his eyes. Gawain then realized that his imaginative stroke had actually resulted in the winning point. This was an unexpected surprise.
Nadal once again gave Gawain a thumbs up, expressing his admiration, with a smile on his face and in his eyes.
Compared with singles matches, the atmosphere of doubles matches is much more relaxed and enjoyable.
"Keep going. Keep it up."
“We are not out of the woods yet.”
Nadal's attention was not distracted and he remained focused on the game. He did not forget that after saving two break points, they still faced the test of a tie.
However, after withstanding the test of close head-on collisions, Gawain and Nadal's game form and quality of play gradually improved.
After the tie, Gawain and Nadal kept up their efforts, leaving no chance for their opponents, winning two points in a row, successfully holding their serve and putting pressure on their opponents.
"5:4".
Next, Mayer and Borelli had to face a serve game that they had to defend, and Borelli was responsible for serving.
Both Mayer and Burelli could feel the palpable pressure.
From the beginning of receiving the serve, Gawain and Nadal tried to take risks and exert their strength.
"30:30".
The two sides were unable to pull away from each other in the back and forth match. More importantly, all four points were dominated by Gawain and Nadal:
Two winning points and two turnovers.
This also means that the initiative of the game is firmly in their hands. Mayer and Borelli are very passive, which is not a good thing, especially for doubles matches.
So, what about the next point?
Borelli served, Nadal received, while Gawain and Mayer both stood in front of the net in a diagonal formation.
Outside corner.
In order to suppress Nadal's backhand, at the critical moment, Borelli still did not dare to attack Nadal's forehand head-on, which was also accurately predicted by Nadal.
A very solid two-handed backhand block, flat and deep, returned to Borelli's feet along the diagonal line.
In the blink of an eye.
Borelli was a little flustered; the ball came too fast and too deep, not giving him enough time and space to complete his swing, but his forehand reflex successfully pushed it back.
As for quality, you can't ask for too much.
He returned the ball and went back the same way, along the diagonal line back to Nadal's side. This time, Nadal showed no mercy and took small steps to adjust and hit the forehand sideways.
Attack with all your might!
Nadal's signature forehand super topspin attack.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Bang! The solid and heavy hitting force was fully released, and the tennis ball rushed towards Borelli like a cannonball.
Borelli, who was not ready in the previous shot, showed his solid baseline skills as a singles player:
Without much room to adjust his feet, he waited in place and successfully caught the ball.
If it were a singles match, he might need to worry about the open backhand, but in doubles he has the support of his teammates, which allows Borelli to concentrate on waiting for Nadal's ball.
Then--
He moved his upper body slightly and used both hands to backhand the ball in the narrow space, using the force of the ball to push back all the rotation and power of Nadal's forehand shot.
Bang.
He was standing firmly in place, but was thrown back abruptly. This showed the powerful rotation and fierce momentum of Nadal's forehand attack, but Borelli still relied on the strength of his feet supported by the ground to return the ball, and even took a risky shot.
Boom! Straight line!
Burelli made a very risky choice.
He noticed the narrow passage between Govan and the sideline - don't forget that the boundary line in doubles is wider than that in singles, which also means there is more room for changing lines.
At the same time, Gawain was ready to move sideways to the right to raid the net to intercept a potential diagonal return, which meant he could find a breakthrough in the opposite direction of Gawain's center of gravity.
So, Borelli boldly took advantage of the impact of Nadal's shot and hit a straight line, and without warning, he rushed towards Gawain who was standing in front of the net.
In a flash, the doubles situation changed dramatically.
Take a step forward and touch the ground.
Gao Wen had indeed been looking for an opportunity to suddenly attack and complete the interception on the diagonal return line, but as soon as his center of gravity moved, he immediately realized that the direction was wrong.
One point, one push.
With a sudden push of the right leg against the ground and a second start, the body had already moved in the opposite direction to the left. It was too late to use both hands to backhand the ball, so he could only hold the racket with one hand and stretch it out horizontally to block the opponent.
Bang! Gao Wen could clearly feel a violent vibration coming from his wrist. The power and rotation were completely released. He completely relied on his own touch to wrap the tennis ball, and blocked it lightly and imperceptibly, completing the force release and intercepting the tennis ball again.
One stretch. One block.
It's that simple.
