Chapter 895: Brave Heart
Everything! One cut!
The shot is complete.
At the same time, he kicked his right leg hard, his calf muscles burst out instantly, adrenaline exploded continuously, and his body kicked out like a spring.
huff huff.
My lungs are burning and I can vaguely feel a stinging pain, so hot, so sharp and so boiling, it seems like it will explode at any time. I can deeply feel the burning of my blood with every breath.
but!
Strength was also gushing out continuously, all attention and energy were immersed in running, and the pain had been completely forgotten.
As fast as lightning!
Whizzing past!
Gawain's running speed has reached its limit. He seemed to feel his legs stepping on hot wheels. The whistling wind threw the whole world into a dryer. Colorful colors bloomed like a kaleidoscope, and that mustard yellow light and shadow firmly caught Gawain's sight.
straight line.
Gao Wen knew that there was a high probability that Nadal would choose the straight line, even if there was a risk of being accurately predicted by himself, Nadal would still choose the straight line.
Nadal's personality is like this. He is not aggressive and does not expect to get the winning points in one or two shots. He is used to accumulating advantages, completing the layout and applying pressure through his own shots. When the advantages accumulate to a certain level, he will make the final move.
More secure and more stable.
Therefore, in Nadal's games, many of his shot choices are traceable, and he is not worried about his opponents discovering his tactical intentions.
This time, Nadal established a clear advantage through the outside corner reduced-power serve. He chose a straight line to connect his offense, further forcing Gawain into a passive position. This is a high-probability event.
So, Gao Wen did not hesitate at all, and moved sideways without any hesitation, running all the way from the right doubles line to the left sideline.
The wind is howling.
Then, Gawain saw the ball coming—
straight line.
It is indeed a straight line.
Nadal quickly connected a shot with his two-handed backhand, which flew straight along the sideline towards the big triangle at the baseline.
Solid and stable.
Gawain was very passive, very, very passive. Even if he predicted and moved in advance, he was still in a completely passive situation. Even if he increased his speed to the extreme, he still couldn't get the target accurately.
There isn't even enough space and time to allow for a two-handed backhand to complete the swing.
And, Nadal went to the net.
Sudden!
Obviously, this is the tactical routine that Nadal had thought of early on, from serving to straight line to net, the three-piece set, piling up pressure layer by layer.
What to do? The problem is that Gao Wen has no other choice now. The only thing he can do is to defend with all his strength and continue the round as long as possible.
Two hands become one hand! Holding the racket with only the right hand, with the whole body facing away from Nadal, he slid sideways, spread his wings like an eagle, and stretched out his upper and lower body completely.
Then, the racket barely blocked a shot.
There was absolutely no control at all, he just barely returned the ball, but Gawain's mind was very clear, and he lifted the tennis ball high up with one hand.
He must buy himself more time to adjust and defend, and also hope that the high ball can slightly push Nadal's position in front of the net back.
Reduce stress.
Whoosh! The tennis ball flew high up, and with a cry of surprise, the full and light parabola made all the audience raise their eyes high.
What about Nadal?
Small steps, small steps, continuous small steps, Nadal adjusted his steps in front of the net very carefully and diligently, constantly adjusting his position to find the best hitting point.
The footsteps retreated slightly and returned to the baseline of the service area, but still completely covered the net, and then -
Jump from the spot.
Pulling onions in dry land.
Lean back and high pressure!
Boom! Gawain's lob was ultimately unable to get over the top in an extremely passive situation, and was successfully intercepted by Nadal, who sent a high-pressure ball directly down.
However, Gawain's lob was high and floating, very unstable, which forced Nadal to be a little safer with his high-pressure ball, which was aimed in the middle.
Why middle?
Generally speaking, when defending a high-pressure ball, the only thing the defending side can do is gamble, concentrating on choosing one side to defend, either forehand or backhand, and there are really not many tactical methods.
So, whether it's forehand or backhand, you always have to move.
Therefore, if you choose the middle, you can disrupt the defensive side's movement strategy. Even if the opponent completes the reception of the ball, the quality will not be very good. The attacking side can continue to attack and win a better high-pressure opportunity.
Gao Wen was squeezed.
In fact, Gao Wen more or less guessed the possibility of high pressure in the middle, but on the one hand, he was too passive; on the other hand, everything happened in a flash, leaving not much time for thinking and reaction, and he had to rely more on instinctive conditioned reflexes to deal with it, which inevitably made him a little flustered.
Boom! Nadal's high-pressure ball was heavy and like a cannonball.

At this point, the naked eye can no longer capture the circular outline of the tennis ball. All that can be seen is a long mustard yellow light shadow extending out like a streamline.
With great power and vigor, it crashed towards Gawain.
but.
Gawain was not afraid. Not only that, his eyes were filled with a burning desire to fight, and he went forward without giving an inch.
Head-on confrontation!
Even though he was panicked and confused, he did not waver at all, and his brave heart burst out with unprecedented power.
Boom! Boom! An emergency brake.
While Gawain was moving sideways on his way back to defense, Nadal's high-pressure ball came towards him with a fierce momentum and was almost about to hit him head-on.
Like a car accident.
He tensed all his muscles, controlled his body, then put his forehand at his side and made a short swing, relying entirely on the strength of his forearm, and pulled it up quickly.
Meet the front.
Impact.
In order to increase the force and friction, Gao Wen kept his whole body straight and upright, giving strength support to his arms. When he was hit head-on by the tail force of the tennis ball, his body flew directly into the air, with his upper body completely leaning back. Only in this way could he dissolve the impact of the force, but the racket still remained stable and straight.
The lifting action of the forearm creates as much friction as possible between the racket and the tennis ball, and the control of the line and landing point can only rely on your own feel.
The wrist, a slight flick.
bass.
The tennis ball has already flown out. It looks like...it's been hit away?
The tennis ball had already flown high into the peacock blue night sky. All the spectators looked up. The stars in the sky disappeared in the bright lights of Rod Laver, but they could still clearly see the thrilling flight trajectory of the tennis ball, so much so that everyone in the audience was almost unable to breathe.
Nadal was stepping back. He looked up at the trajectory of the tennis ball and immediately realized that the quality of this return was excellent.
It's obvious that it goes over the top, and the landing point is also very, very deep. The only question is, can it fall within the boundary?
Nadal retreated while observing, and in a blink of an eye he was back to the baseline, with all eyes focused on the tennis ball.
Pop.
Above the bottom line.
Just right on the bottom line.
