Chapter 1602 Reading Comprehension
In the second game of the first set, the game had just started, and it was already exciting.
Gao Wen needs to face the break point.
Tread.
Tread.
Dimitrov adjusted the rhythm with a series of small steps, and his feet were like a metronome. He mobilized his body and remained focused, and his whole body burst into a posture of a tiger coming out of the mountain.
Gao Wen caught it.
then.
Stomping on the ground, bending knees, and hitting the ball with a swing, a ball of white was stirred in the strong wind.
Dimitrov's conditioned reflex was activated at the first time, but his body had already realized that the situation was not good just after the attack, and his judgment was biased.
A side cut, not a hard flat serve, but a reduced side spin serve.
At the same time, the placement of the serve is very particular—
Close to the position of the forehand, after landing with a strong side spin, he continued to rotate towards Dimitrov's body position, and got into his arms.
Moreover, it has a strong top spin, because the landing point is slightly shallow, and there is still plenty of room for rising after landing, and a large amount of spin can be fully released.
The layout starts from the moment the ball is touched for the first time. This is Gao Wen.
Obviously, this is slightly different from what Dimitrov imagined, and all the judgments of landing point, rotation, speed, etc. were wrong.
His footsteps moved towards the forehand position, and the start speed was fast, comparable to the start of a 100-meter race. He had already rushed out with one push. In fact, his prediction of the direction of Gao Wen's serve was correct, and it was indeed on the right side; But the speed is too fast, but it falls into a trap, and a big stride has already gone too far.
The result is, the scene of the car accident.
Dimitrov slammed his head into it, his body had no room to swing the racket, so he simply cut his forehand sideways in front of him, trying to push the tennis ball back.
But the whole body posture was very awkward, and he didn't control the angle of the racket face. With the slightest touch of the tennis ball, it jumped out with the reaction force in the next second.
Fly to the audience stands.
"40:40".
Serve directly to score.
When people mention Gao Wen, they often don't associate the label of a master serve; but in fact, the training of adjusting the serve during the offseason can already see the intentions of Sampras and Agassi.
This is a reshaping of Gao Wen's game in terms of tactics and style.
After more than half a year of training and competition, Gao Wen's serving ability has indeed improved to a higher level. Although he is not a serving cannon like Isner, he can always increase the threat of serving through tactical combinations.
Mutual exchange-
The sparks can be felt from the beginning of this strong duel in the youth storm encounter.
Game points, equal points.
Break point, split.
Teeth were criss-crossed and entangled, and Gao Wen's first serve was in a hard fight. At this time, it was possible to see the degree of adaptation of the two players to the grass.
Dimitrov got into the mood as soon as he came up, his shot selection was very clear, and his offense was smooth; Gao Wen was a little slow and made some mistakes.
Going back and forth, Gao Wen missed three game points, but also saved three break points. When he returned to the tie for the seventh time, the game had already been going on for a full ten minutes. Such a tug-of-war is rare on the grass .
Then, Dimitrov hit the line with a forehand attack, Gao Wen tried to counterattack on the spot, but the forehand was suppressed so that the hitting point was a little slower, causing the ball to return to the net and sent the fourth break point again.
Stalemate, still going on.
Gao Wen let out a long breath, adjusted his breathing, and calmly thought about the layout. After clearing his mind, he nodded to the caddy and asked for two tennis balls.
ready to serve—
outer corner. hang the net.
As soon as the serve hit the net, Gao Wen tried to speed up and hit a flat serve from the outside corner. As a result, he pressed too hard and missed the net. Now he had to face a second serve at the break point.
call!
Second serve, outside corner.
Continue to the outer corner, reduce the force, but lock the landing point, a pressure line outer corner, directly tear the angle apart, although the speed is not fast, the field is completely opened.
"Ugh!"
Dimitrov let out a muffled grunt, and strode out with his whole body horizontally, his body stretched to the extreme, and he backhanded the ball with one hand at the high point above the shoulder diagonally, barely touching the ball, and cut down hard to complete the catch.
"ah!"
After touching the ball, Dimitrov quickly started again, and the sound of force was released from his body. The extremely tight muscle lines contained unimaginable explosive power, and he stared intently at Gawain on the opposite side of the court.
Obviously, Gao Wen established his advantage through the second serve. Although it was only a second serve, the layout was simple and efficient. Dimitrov's entire forehand field was completely cleared; at the same time, Gao Wen turned sideways, preparing for a forehand attack.
From any point of view, it is a high-probability event for Gao Wen to choose the straight line. Even if he cannot score directly, Dimitrov can be mobilized to further establish an advantage.
Dimitrov thought so too.
But in the blink of an eye, Dimitrov's footsteps towards the forehand position caught an inspiration and stopped. What if Gawain did the opposite and chose a diagonal line?
This is not without reason.
Dimitrov's chipping return is low and spinning, and there is no force. The bounce on the grass must be lower. If Gawain chooses a straight line, it will be more difficult, and it is very likely to hit the net again; Much simpler.
Moreover, since the beginning of the game, Gao Wen has focused more on attacking Dimitrov's backhand, trying to break through here, and choosing the outside corner serve at the break point is the same reason, and the continuous attack and backhand repeated strikes are also in line with tactics.
Inspiration is fleeting.
Immediately afterwards, Dimitrov noticed that Gawain turned sideways and made a forehand shot.
Gao Wen wanted to play a time difference, that is, deliberately delay the shot, wait for Dimitrov to start before hitting the ball, so as to ensure that the ball enters the gap and score easily; but Dimitrov's return is almost There was no bouncing, the tennis ball bounced off the ground, and it was at the calf position, leaving no room for Gao Wen to delay his shot.
Therefore, Gao Wen chose to seize the time to shoot—
A lift, relying on the strength of the wrist to flick, the speed is instantly increased at the moment of the final shot.
boom!
With a crisp sound, the tennis ball shot out like a shooting star.
slash.
Gao Wen~www.mtlnovel.com~ didn't choose the neutral position, but chose to return the ball diagonally!
Dimitrov was startled, but his body reflex was very quick. The footsteps that came to a stop after the emergency brake were adjusted in an instant, and then returned to their positions.
Although the judgment was correct, Gawain's offensive quality was excellent, fast and urgent, leaving no room for Dimitrov to adjust.
The footsteps are not in place, and the swing space is seriously insufficient. Although the position is stuck, Dimitrov's hitting space is still limited.
In a hurry, Dimitrov simply gave up the backhand shot, but chose a backhand slice, with the knees bent, the center of gravity sinking, and the full use of the power of the whole body to squat down to complete the slice shot, perfectly attaching the power of rotation In tennis, finally—
With one hand, everything, slashed fiercely.
wipe.
You can clearly feel the collision of strong friction. With strong backspin, the tennis ball sprints along a straight line and flies towards Gao Wen's forehand bottom line. A turbulent wave turned the confrontation on the field in an instant.
Gao Wen is very embarrassed.
