Chapter 864:
“40:0” filled the entire stadium.
In a blink of an eye, in Gao Wen's serve to win the set, he scored three points in a row and got three consecutive set points.
Obviously, Kyrgios' emotions were still not calm, his concentration was not focused, and his shots were all wrong. Two mistakes of his own plus a forehand point from Gawain led to three set points in less than eighty seconds.
Margaret Court Stadium is very noisy and the noise can't be stopped at all. Before each serve by Gawain, the boos from the whole stadium will last for a long time.
Then--
Kyrgios finally scored.
Facing Gawain's first serve, Kyrgios showed his talent, hitting the ball lightly with his forehand, but releasing his full power: returning an ace.
Gawain's serve speed is 192 kilometers per hour, and Kyrgios' return speed is as high as 179 kilometers per hour. He kills the ball with just one forehand shot, just like slapping a mosquito.
The whole audience was shocked.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Wen missed his first serve and there was a very loud booing between the first and second serves, which lasted for more than a minute. The referee was unable to control the situation despite several reminders, which disrupted Gao Wen's serving rhythm and resulted in the first double fault of the game.
Roar, roar, roar! Aaaaaah! The entire Margaret Court Stadium was boiling with excitement, with the home crowd wildly celebrating Gawain's double faults and cheering for his opponent's mistakes.
"40:30".
Gao Wen, somewhat helpless, looked at the referee, spread his hands, and protested with his own actions. The behavior of the home audience obviously undermined the spirit of sports:
First of all, there is noise between the first and second shots, which is not right.
Secondly, celebrating the opponent's mistakes is even more unethical behavior.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please don't make any noise when the players are about to hit the ball..."
The referee performed his duties and tried to control the situation, but the home audience didn't buy it at all. Instead, the boos became more and more violent and crazy, directly interrupting the referee's voice and spreading to every corner of the stadium.
The audience is getting excited.
Although Gawain still had a set point, the two consecutive points he had just scored were tilting in Kyrgios' favor, and the home team's morale immediately became high.
The game was interrupted at one point.
Kyrgios also got excited and raised his hands blatantly, inciting the audience:
Come on, come on, come on.
"Siuuuuu..."
Shouts filled the entire venue.
This sound is not a "boo", but the sound made by C-Ronaldo's iconic goal celebration -
Every time C Ronaldo scores a goal, he stretches his arms out on both sides of his body like Astro Boy, then jumps high, turns 180 degrees in the air, and finally lands on the ground, making a "Siuuu" sound, but no one knows if he is imitating the sound of a rocket taking off.
This action and sound have also become C-Ronaldo's signature.
At this moment, this strange sound was heard from the Margaret Court Stadium.
Kyrgios got excited. He took two small steps and imitated C-Ronaldo's celebration move, and the whole stadium went crazy.
"Siuuuu..."
Permeate the entire venue.
It is really hard to imagine that the game was interrupted due to off-court factors during the inventory, but obviously, Kyrgios seemed to enjoy such a moment very much.
"Quiet!"
“Please be quiet!”
The referee was finally enraged, and his majestic voice rose two levels, and then the audience finally quieted down a little.
However, there were still a very small number of fanatical fans who tried to further provoke Gao Wen, but they did not expect that they would directly anger the referee.
"Please keep quiet. If you continue to affect the game, I will ask the security personnel on site to throw the troublemakers out of the court immediately. Please believe that I have this right and I will do so. At the same time, I will also make sure that you are blacklisted and banned from entering Melbourne Park again."
The whole audience was silent.
Those lazy fans finally quieted down as a group of security personnel actually appeared in the stands of Margaret Court Stadium.
Obviously, Terry, the tournament director at the scene, also realized that the situation was going off track, and he responded immediately, supporting the authority of the referee.
On the court, Kyrgios shrugged, seemingly unhappy that the referee had no party spirit at all, but he didn't say much after all.
And what about Gawain?
Gao Wen stood on the other side of the court, quietly looking up at the surging waves in front of him, firmly remembering them in his mind. Not only would these distractions not make him angry and out of control, but they would make him more focused and dedicated, turning all the pressure into motivation.
He knew how to shut them up.
Therefore, he will not escape, he will not retreat, he will face the storm with his head held high.
The referee nodded in the direction of Gao Wen, and the game could continue.
Because of Gawain's restraint and calmness, the referee showed a look of satisfaction in his eyes, and then raised his hand to apologize to Gawain.
Gao Wen smiled at the referee without saying anything else, then came to the second zone and prepared to serve.
The third inventory.
Snap. Snap. Snap.
The golden sunlight shines on the surface of the skin, scorching and burning. The ground temperature has reached 42 degrees. Just standing outside can feel the fiery heat wave, not to mention standing on the court and running and fighting. The surging heat almost burns the skin.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
However, the air was so quiet that you could even hear the sound of sweat falling.
Take a deep breath, and then—
Bend your knees, throw the ball, turn, and swing the racket.
Gao Wen's whole body was completely stretched out. The modified serving posture was more stretched yet more condensed. The whole movement from expansion to contraction was more streamlined. Along with this, the height of the toss was slightly lower and the hitting point was slightly earlier. These changes were also the original rhythm of his repeated double faults in Doha.
Clean! Simple! Chic!
Now, after truly and completely adapting to the serving action, the elegant and graceful movement is projected on the ground, just like an eagle spreading its wings.
Hit the ball!
Swing your arms fully in a circle and move your body like a bow and arrow. Once the force is fully drawn, release all the strength.
Bang! The tennis ball turned into a stream of light and flew across the court.
Inner angle.
T point.
It's as precise as placing the tennis ball directly at the T-spot in the center.
“Beep!”
The speedometer in the corner of the court made a sound, indicating the speed of the ball: "210 kilometers per hour".
Before I could blink, the tennis ball disappeared.
Kyrgios's footsteps were completely nailed in place, motionless, because he predicted that Gawain might choose the outside corner to suppress his backhand again, but the result was the inside corner.
A perfect inside corner T-spot.
ACE.
It was like a slap in the face of the home fans.
"Set, high, 6:3."
Perfect!
After a brief period of noise and fluctuation, Gao Wen ended the first set with a clean ace and took the victory directly into his pocket.
“Ahhhh!”
Margaret Court Stadium suddenly erupted with incredible energy, but this time, it was not the home fans, but the away fans.
The five-star red flags fluttering in the sky were spread out in a mighty manner, swallowing up all the depressed, sad, entangled, and hideous faces with their fangs and claws.
The sixth update.
