"Match Point(
Since arriving in Athens, the competition schedule has been intensive, and there are almost daily competitions. From the team competition to the singles competition, there are only two days before and after. In fact, the daily training is basically at a standstill. In addition to the NCAA regulations on training time, every day is just a simple one. Basic training and warm-up training.
However, compared with the regular season, the intensity of the confrontation has increased, and training through games is also a way to grow.
It seems extremely long to describe, but it has only been ten days since the opening of the US Championship. It is conceivable that the physical attributes and technical attributes have not increased naturally, so it is not surprising; correspondingly, the atmosphere of the competition The pressure and motivation brought about naturally increased the spiritual attributes a bit.
From seventy-four to seventy-five.
Step by step, Gao Wen's nerves are undergoing more tests.
At the same time, the growth potential value was still steadily accumulating and increasing, and it accumulated to 100% three times in a blink of an eye, allowing Gao Wen to win three attribute points.
Facing the upcoming quarter-finals, Gao Wen was also deeply aware of the physical and mental challenges, so he completed three points without hesitation.
Two points, physical attributes.
One point, technical attributes.
Improve your balance. While making up for your shortcomings, you also need to slowly consolidate your strengths. After all, the style and method of the game are difficult to change in a short period of time. Gao Wen still has his own batting rhythm and scoring method. Continue Strengthening your own weapons is also very important.
He is eager for victory, and even more eager for the championship. Standing on the stage of the National Championship, he still burns with the desire to win and looks forward to moving forward.
A burst of light blue water ripples spread out, and the attribute panel changed again.
Physical attributes: 68
Technical attributes: 74
Spirit attribute: 75
Then, the growth potential value returned to 8.11% again, waiting for the arrival of the next full value, and at the same time, Gao Wen was also ready for the upcoming duel.
Gao Wen was ready, and Sarkesen was obviously ready as well. The quarter-finals of the singles match of the US National Championships, which was highly anticipated, slowly kicked off.
There is a dry heat floating in the air in Athens, and the footsteps of midsummer seem to arrive at this land early, making people feel the powerful power of the scorching heat.
Sarkesen looked up at the sun hanging high above his head. It seemed that taking a breath could ignite the internal organs. Such hot weather was actually a severe test for both sides.
For Gao Wen, physical exertion should accelerate.
It should be more difficult for Sarkisian to maintain a high level of concentration throughout the court.
The weather is fair, so it depends on who can better adapt to the weather conditions, and then cross the finish line first to win the final victory.
Sarkesen raised his head, held up the tennis ball in his hand, and signaled to Gao Wen on the other side of the court that he was ready to serve. Then he took a small half step forward, stood behind the baseline, and began to hit the ball.
In today's game, Gao Wen guessed the coin correctly, but he chose the venue and gave up the right to serve first to Sakisen.
Sarkisian was a little surprised, because he himself likes to serve first.
The representatives of the point-grabbing style of play mentioned earlier, Kei Nishikori, Schwarzman, and Fognini, because of their height restrictions, their serve is generally not strong, so they are more inclined to receive the serve first; but Sarkison slightly Different, with a height of 191 cm, this is the innate guarantee of serving.
Objectively speaking, serving is not Sarkissen's strong point. He is a typical representative of "he has no height but can't serve". Otherwise, his national ranking would not have been hovering outside the 30th place; Sarkeeson's weakness is that his height at least guarantees the lower limit of his serve quality.
Therefore, Sarkeeson does not mind serving first.
Moreover, in the previous games in Athens, if he guessed the coin correctly, Gao Wen always chose to serve, but today was an exception. Judging from Gao Wen's game style, there must be a plan, and Sarkesen didn't think about it at all.
Anyway, just hit the field.
Soon, Sarkeeson felt the impact, and even if his brain didn't turn, his body could still feel the pressure and air waves coming towards him.
boom!
boom!
The first sound was Sarkisson's serve.
The second sound was Gao Wen's return serve.
The solid and crisp sound of hitting the ball creates a wall-hitting effect, and it can be seen that Sarkissen's first serve is habitually aimed at the outer corner.
It's not because Gao Wen's forehand is relatively unstable, but because of Sarkissen's set of tactics:
Use the ball from the outside corner to pull the opponent out of the field. The opponent barely touches the ball and comes back. There is a high probability that it will be a slash, because the center of gravity of the body is out of control, and it is difficult to control the racket. The slash is the choice of conditioned reflex.
It doesn't matter even if it is a straight line with a small probability, because Sarkissen will often tear the angle completely apart, suppressing the opponent's swing space, and suppressing the speed and power of returning the ball.
Then, whether it is a slash or a straight line, Sarkeeson will quickly enter the bottom line, launch the second attack with urgency and pressure, grab the rising point, and forcibly increase the rhythm of the round.
As mentioned earlier, it is a tactical routine.
As long as the outside corner is torn open enough, Sarkissen's follow-up attack can immediately keep up.
However, the rare probability of one in a thousand still appeared~www.mtlnovel.com~Gao Wen accurately guessed the tactical routine of Sakisen's first serve—
Because Sarkesen had used this tactic to start the game more than once, he was not afraid of his opponent guessing his routine at all, as long as he could suppress the opponent, it was fine until he met Gao Wen.
Kick off! wave! Pull!
Gao Wen grasped a weakness of Sarkissen's serve, which is angled, but the power and speed are very average. Therefore, it can be clearly seen that Gao Wen's swing is not complete, he only made a half-drawing racket, and the hitting action Very simple, almost no self-attached rotation, but using the flat hitting return method to complete the wall-hitting bounce.
Return the ball, flat and fast, like a bolt of lightning.
With a bang, it rushed directly towards the big diagonal of the diagonal line, fast and fierce, and the lightning speed was too fast to cover the ears.
speed!
Sarkissen is trying to improve his tempo, and likewise, Gawain's way of returning the ball is also increasing his speed.
Play fast with fast.
Comparable to ping pong.
Then, just as Sarkesen finished his serve, Gao Wen's return ball had already come, and instantly traversed the court.
Even if Sarkison stood on the bottom line, it would be very difficult to face such a shot; what's more, at this time Sarkison took the initiative to enter the bottom line, which was almost equivalent to hitting the muzzle of the gun, compressing his reaction and adjustment. Time, then the difficulty will naturally increase exponentially.
Tread.
Sarkeeson was still in the process of stepping up, and before he had time to adjust his footsteps, the tennis ball had already come under his feet, and he hurriedly stretched out his racket to block it, trying to create a bounce ball, but Gawain's speed of returning the ball It was really too fast, the tennis ball hit the surface of the racket, and in an instant it turned into an anti-aircraft gun and flew into the audience stands.
Whoosh!
Accompanied by the exclamation of the audience, Gao Wen successfully scored the first point.
