Chapter 914: Full power
Huff huff.
He breathed in big gulps, the hot air surging in his chest like magma. He was sweating profusely and looked like he had just been pulled out of the water.
However, Gawain's eyes were bright, his smile bloomed, his right fist clenched, and he exuded a kind of joy from head to toe. He was tenacious and determined, and he was shining brightly: I figured it out! When facing any of the Big Four players, their basketball IQ is unquestionable, so if you want to calculate them, you must be more careful.
From the third set on, Gawain was planning, taking every step carefully. In fact, his physical strength had basically passed the limit, and there was no problem with his physical condition, but he was aware of Murray's urgency and calculations, so he improvised and cooperated with the performance. Murray was planning, and he was also planning:
Testing and calculating at the same time, disrupting Murray's deployment and predicting Murray's reaction at the same time, walking and watching.
Then, seize the opportunity and launch a thundering attack.
Of course, Gawain himself also needs to take risks, and Murray did create opportunities, so that Gawain was in danger in his own serve. It was like dancing on the tip of a knife. If he was not careful, the situation might be completely different, and the positions of the two players would be reversed.
but!
Calculated it.
Gao Wen finally figured it out, acted suddenly and quickly like lightning, seized the opportunity, and finally realized the advantage, thus taking the lead in the third set.
A feeling of satisfaction filled my chest.
It is precisely because of the difficulties, the challenges, the dangers, and the fact that both sides have been pushed to the extreme that the pleasure and release are even more exhilarating.
Gawain did not scream or vent, he was just simply happy, just like when he played against Nadal last time. The tension and excitement of facing a top player completely ignited his adrenaline, and then he challenged his limits step by step. Every minute and every second he stood on the court was burning.
He likes this feeling.
It was much later that Gao Wen realized that he had fallen to the ground in such a touching position. No wonder everyone in the players' box stood up.
They were all worried that Gawain might get hurt.
Gawain stood up using his hands and feet, and jumped twice on the spot to indicate that he was fine. Then he looked at Murray who was venting his anger: his whole body was burning, like a Super Saiyan.
Not only did Gao Wen not retreat, but he became even more excited.
Because Gawain is sure that Murray will launch a counterattack and Murray will never surrender, which also means that the next game will be even more exciting.
Perfect!
Now, Gawain has completely opened up, both physically and mentally at a high point, and he is ready to continue fighting and continue to challenge his limits.
not to mention--
After a brief moment of shock and amazement, the cheers and cheers at Rod Laver Arena gathered again.
The break came so suddenly and unexpectedly that the audience didn't have time to react. They were caught off guard and the situation changed suddenly.
Then, there was a ringing in my ears. I couldn't realize how the situation in the third set was reversed. When I reacted, I realized that the next game was Gao Wen's serve to win the third set.
no.
Absolutely not!
Then, the roars and shouts burst out with energy again, even with a hint of pain and despair, and the cheers at the top of their lungs were filled with endless sincerity.
So, how could a kind-hearted person like Gao Wen let the "expectations" of local fans go unfulfilled?
After five games of entanglement and confrontation, Gao Wen and the home fans have developed some affection for each other and reached a subtle and strange tacit understanding.
He just wants to continue to see the conflicted expressions of the home fans who are "hating it but returning to Rod Laver Arena to watch the game again and again."
A kind of bad taste.
So, Gawain is definitely motivated.
"5:3".
There is no time to rest and adjust, as Gawain will soon serve to win the set, which will be a test of the mental resilience of both Gawain and Murray.
"15:0", ACE, Gao Wen served out the eighth ACE of the game, opening the serve to win the set.
"30:0", Murray's second serve went out of bounds, giving Gawain a direct serve to score. Murray was very dissatisfied with this and threw his racket directly.
Mistakes are not just simple mistakes.
If it were a practice match, Murray would have no problem receiving a hundred second serves like this; but it's not like that in a match.
State, mentality, atmosphere, all are influencing factors.
Obviously, Murray was still affected by the fact that he was broken without any struggle or resistance in the previous game. He was a little impatient in this game, so he wanted to increase his attacking power in the serve receiving phase, but the more he thought about it, the more mistakes he made.
What's more, Murray's physical strength could no longer be suppressed and was slowly showing.
Area 1.
One shot, inside corner.
At this time, it was obvious that Gao Wen was very excited. The state and quality of his first serve improved. With a serve speed of 195 kilometers per hour, the quality of the ball and the quality of the landing point were very good.
Murray's backhand was squeezed and his swing was not complete, so the return line was slightly shorter.
Gao Wen immediately stepped into the baseline.
He used a forehand drive, aiming at the blind spot of Murray's forehand bottom line triangle, and launched an attack.
Murray's footsteps moved into place, but the position was a bit crowded——
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
At this time, Murray's position is no longer about two meters behind the baseline, but right on the baseline, so the physical space for hitting the ball is naturally compressed.
Murray hit a rebound, and his forehand attack failed to completely control the parabola, but he still tried to press the landing point of the return ball to the deep area.
Squeeze Gawain.
Gao Wen's position was indeed squeezed.
Gao Wen adjusted with small steps and moved sideways to make room for swinging the racket, then he jumped on the spot and hit the ball in the air.
Forehand, swing your arms quickly, and at the moment of the shot, you can fully increase the speed of the racket head, hit the ball with a skateboard, and attack along the reverse diagonal direction -
The sword is unsheathed!
Whoosh! The tennis ball disappeared.
Huh! The sound of people gasping for air could be clearly heard at the scene. When the tennis ball appeared again, it was accurately pressed on the sideline, and it seemed to be out of bounds, but the linesman made a very firm in-bounds gesture.
At the same time, Murray also arrived. Facing Gawain's two consecutive powerful forehand attacks, he once again demonstrated his top defensive level.
With both hands, he hit the ball backhand, losing his center of gravity, and actually produced a straight line, flat and fast; most importantly, the landing point was very particular: he aimed at the soles of Gao Wen's feet while he was standing parallel to the ground.
In this way, even if Gawain moves sideways to intercept the ball, he can neither volley nor hit the ball from the baseline. Instead, he has to hit the rebound ball very awkwardly. He has no room for adjustment and swinging the racket, and the difficulty of handling the ball rises sharply. This will also pave the way for Murray's next defense and even counterattack.
Gawain foresaw Murray's tactical intentions and realized the dilemma before he took any steps.
However, Gawain did not seem to be panicking at all.
With a big stride, he accelerated dramatically, took one step ahead, and flew up into the sky in a posture that was almost like a fish leaping to the top of the mountain.
It is exactly this step, before the tennis ball hits the ground, before the tennis ball falls, the racket and the net remain parallel, and you chop everything down with your forehand.
twist.
The racket was rubbed lightly, and the tennis ball flew over like a feather.
Small ball!
Gawain rolled out a small ball.
Murray ran at full speed, but... he still couldn't catch up.
Because Gao Wen's ball handling was so delicate, precise and accurate, and the force was perfectly unblocked, he quickly formed two jumps after landing, leaving no space for Murray at all.
Da, da, da, da...the tennis ball rolls all the way.
"40:0".
