Chapter 919: Delicate touch
Move as fast as a rabbit and as fast as lightning.
Gao Wen immediately cut to the bottom line and ran at full speed.
This time, it was not because of advance prediction, but because of vigilance.
Gawain knew Murray's defensive ability, and also knew the ability of the Big Four to improve their condition and launch a counterattack in time on break points. Even though Murray still had not completely gotten rid of the problem of extreme physical strength, the back-and-forth tug-of-war in this game was enough to deeply feel Murray's counterattack from the edge of the cliff.
He must stay 100% focused.
After noticing Murray's movement, Gawain had already reached the baseline, ready to move, and then seeing the trajectory of the return ball, he went to the net.
Resolute, decisive, and brave.
Gao Wen held up the racket, his eyes fixed on the flying tennis ball, and out of the corner of his eye he immediately noticed Murray who was following him to the net.
Do two things at once.
Gawain had been observing Murray's movement and center of gravity, but his attention was always on the tennis ball. This short shot was indeed outstanding.
The parabola, the landing point, the force unloading, everything is perfect.
After the tennis ball passed the net, it flew forward a distance of two palms, fell quickly, and bounced back without any apparent power.
difficulty!
Extremely difficult!
At the same time, Gao Wen must also be careful not to use too much force in the sprint and touch the net, because once the net is touched, no matter what happens afterwards, the side that touched the net will be judged as losing points.
then--
Two big steps ahead, Gao Wen had already started sliding, controlling his speed while ensuring that he could touch the tennis ball.
From the corner of his eye, he saw Murray standing in the middle of the court, jumping constantly, preparing to defend against Gawain's return, keeping his body's center of gravity flexible at all times.
A left-moving shake.
However, Gawain was not fooled, it was a feint.
Immediately afterwards, Murray moved to the right.
Everything happened in a flash, and it seems very trivial and long to describe, but in fact, Gawain's right hand had already completed the shot before Murray actually moved in the direction.
Gao Wen had no time to worry about whether Murray was faking a move. He had to focus on controlling his return, otherwise the return would go into the net and he would give away the point.
With a light hook of his right hand, one could see the flexibility and delicacy of Gawain's wrist. It was as if he had performed magic, and he made a light picking motion with his head.
The tennis ball flew out.
It is light, clever, and agile. There is no visible strength at all, but it combines strength and beauty. The delicate touch is basically the net handling of badminton.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the tennis ball took off, and—
Slash.
Murray, got it right.
In the game of swaying left and right and guessing, Murray accurately grasped Gawain's next move, mainly because of the quality of Murray's small ball: this small ball has almost no power, which makes it difficult for Gawain to use the force and there is not enough space to hit the ball. If he chooses a straight line, it should be a high probability event that it will hit the net and then return to Gawain's own court, so Gawain must choose the lowest middle area of the net.
Make sure to get through the network.
The trap that Murray had laid was obviously prepared for Gao Wen to catch the ball. Now it was Murray's turn to reap the fruits of victory.
Take small steps. Take small steps continuously.
Murray followed the ball, moving sideways, trying to complete the block.
However.
No chance.
Gawain's return was too precise and clever, going over the net lightly but not too high, so that it was difficult for Murray to complete the shot without touching the net. He could only continue to move with the tennis ball and wait for it to fall.
result?
After the tennis ball passed the net, it continued to fly, and actually tore an incredibly small angle, passing through the narrow channel between Murray and the net, and landed outside the shallow area of Murray's service area on the right side of the court.
Moreover, it falls rapidly over the net!
It can be clearly seen that the wobbling tennis ball is falling rapidly under the pull of gravity, and its speed suddenly increases.
Land and bounce.
Murray didn't catch up, but he still didn't give up. At the last moment, he took a big step forward, trying to catch the rising point of the tennis ball when it bounced off the ground and lift it over the net again.
Then, it is 100% the winning point.
However, Murray's heart shrank violently——
The tennis ball spun sideways quickly after landing, and just as Murray was about to touch the ball, the strong rotation actually widened the distance again.
Passing by.
Murray just watched the tennis ball pass by his racket head half a palm away, and finally, it went out.
Spin!
jump!
fly!
Tennis, the free soul hidden in it is released.
Air, stagnant.
All eyes in the audience were focused on Murray's footsteps, but they realized that Gawain's replay was so amazing! So magical!
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
A Jedi reversal!
Then, score.
"God!"
"God God God!"
"What am I witnessing! I can't believe my eyes!"
"The best shot of this year's Australian Open has appeared! God! The best shot! The best shot without any suspense! This is simply the magic of tennis!"
"God! Gawain!"
"In the close-quarter tennis battle, the young Gawain showed the net feel of Sampras at his peak and incredibly broke through Murray's defense!"
"Such a touch! Such courage! Such determination! Such fighting spirit!"
"God!"
"In the battle at the net, Gawain hit a magical shot that was like a fairy from the sky. Unbelievable! Unbelievable!"
"Break!"
"Gawain broke Murray's serve for the second time in the third set!"
"God!"
"This is the correct way to break the opponent's serve! Gawain, incredible! Miraculous!"
"Just when we thought the match couldn't get any more exciting, Gawain and Murray teamed up to put on a show! Definitely one of the best matches of the year."
Boom! There was a roar in the ears, but no one could tell whether it was a scream or a lament, annoyance or cheering. The world was immersed in a buzzing sound.
"oh!"
The home fans held their heads tightly, unable to believe their eyes, their hearts almost stopped beating, and then they fell into despair.
The whole Melbourne Park, the whole Australia, seemed to have a power outage. With the sound of "buzzing", the light of hope was cut off all the way, and then the whole Oceania fell into silence and darkness. The heart was tightly clamped, the brain was blank, and time seemed to have lost its meaning.
Surprisingly.
Gawain actually broke the serve again. After such a long stalemate, the goddess of victory finally chose Gawain's side.
Although the game was not over, the scene was already dark.
That kind of pain, that kind of despair, that kind of sorrow, made all the noise disappear, leaving only a buzzing sound that continued to surge on the eardrums.
On the court, Gawain could no longer suppress his emotions.
“Ah! Aaaaaaaah!”
Roar!
The roar of burning soul was released wantonly, murderous intent surged in those bright eyes, and because of the steam of sweat, he looked like a devil who had just left hell, and all the mighty momentum poured out.
Let the storm come even harder! "Ahhhh!"
Gawain clenched his fists and roared to the sky. In the silence and stillness of the whole audience, thousands of eyes were watching the king roar.
Deafening! (End of this chapter)
