"...Looking at the context and direction of the entire first set, I personally think that Jilong's only mistake was in the fourth game, when he got a break point and then got two points in a row and was then returned by Gao Wen."
"Ji Long was too hasty and too easy to let Gao Wen get the points and take advantage of the trend to keep the serve. This also caused the momentum curves of the two to stagger and drive away."
"One up, one down."
"Because of this, Giron's next serve fell very quickly."
"Then, the outcome of the first set has already been settled."
Sofar's point of view coincides with Robinson's.
The key, in fact, is not whether Gao Wen holds the serve or Geelong breaks the serve, but lies in the point. Geelong hardly formed a confrontation and showed a clear decline, which caused a drastic change in the momentum of the two sides.
If Jilong initiates a resistance and the two players get entangled, the result of that serve is still unknown. What is really important is that Jilong bites that breath. Then in the next round of Jilong's own serve, both sides will inevitably have another match. After a fight, the break should not come so soon—
At least it won't be that easy.
"During the rest of the game, the performance of the two players was very stable and excellent. Although both of them faced some crises in their serve games, their performances were very determined, and they showed their best performance to pass the time. Get over it."
"So, the turning point I'm talking about is not just the simple mistake of receiving the serve, but the point where Giron easily surrendered without a fight to let Gawain escape. This is obviously very irrational."
"But I believe that Giron has also realized this, because the price of that point is the whole first set."
"Entering the second set, Giron should not make mistakes again. Now it depends on how the two players play."
During the break between sets, Sofar had already stood at the height of the whole game, made an analysis, and pointed out a key point with a professional perspective:
game.
"It is worth noting that both players have been playing in Athens for the second consecutive week until the last game, especially Gao Wen, who faced the difficult Saramento in the final of the team competition, exhausted both physical and energy. It's a serious test."
"Today's game, the first set was already equivalent to the strength of a game. Now the physical strength of the two players should have dropped very badly, so how to allocate physical strength and how to adjust tactics in the second set is the test. Time for tennis wisdom for both players."
"Of course, in this regard, Gao Wen, who won a set first, has already stood at the height of invincibility, while Geelong has no way out. This is also an important factor, and it has an impact on the tactical arrangements of both players."
"So, it can be foreseen that the confrontation in the second set may not be as intense as the first set, but the content of the second set should be richer."
In fact, it is true.
Compared with the climactic and wonderful first set, the second set was a little dull.
Especially Gao Wen's side.
It can be clearly seen that Gao Wen strategically shifted his focus, spending more energy in his serve, and taking keeping his serve as the top priority. Naturally, his aggressiveness in Jilong's serve was slightly less aggressive, and he made mistakes. There was also a marked increase in—
Of course, many young players will not make such strategic adjustments. Relying on their youth, regardless of their full strength, they will rush to the end with one tendon, or they will rush to the end with their heads covered and win the game; or they will crash and collapse. Throw away the victory like a style, and walk around chicly.
But Gao Wen and Jilong are both smart people, and they are also the smart people who are most familiar with the opponents on the other side of the court. They both know that the chess game should be viewed as a whole, and they don't care about the victory or defeat of a certain area. Only by looking at the long-term can they have the last laugh .
Relatively speaking, Geelong is better on this side, but its advantages are also very limited.
Jilong, who lost a set first, has no way out. He must go all out and burn all his energy. If he doesn't work hard, he may not have a chance. Should he save his energy and go home to reward his right hand?
In Gao Wen's serve game, Jilong's state improved in an all-round way, and he won six break points before and after.
However, at the critical moment, there is always a lack of breath, lack of the winning shot, and always can't make a point. He has already pushed Gao Wen to the edge of the cliff, but he is always tremblingly saved by Gao Wen, thrilling. He continued his life, and then missed all six break points, and still failed to break serve.
What is even more frustrating is that Gao Wen fought too hard in his serve, which directly caused Jilong to fall into crisis in his own serve.
Obviously Gao Wen lacked sufficient impact, but Gao Wen also got four break points one after another, and most of them were Geelong's mistakes.
It can be seen from this that Jilong's own physical strength also has some problems.
Fortunately, Jilong stood on the edge of the cliff and withstood the pressure. When Gao Wen suddenly accelerated when facing the break point, he still gritted his teeth and fought hard to the end. Repeat the mistakes of the first set.
Between you and me, the game will be in a stalemate.
Fierce, still fierce, but slightly different from the fierceness of the first set. It was not so much a strong confrontation, but a contest of spirit and will, which made the audience fall into the test of fierce battle together.
"5:5".
The score was stalemate all the way, and no one was able to break serve. The game was still in balance, but Giron, who served first in the second set, had a slight advantage.
Because every time Jilong completes the guarantee, he can take the lead in the score, and then push Gao Wen to the dilemma of having to keep his serve or lose the second set directly. Such pressure is invisible little by little. piled on Gawain's shoulders.
Conversely, even if Gao Wen breaks serve, the second set will not be over, because Gao Wen still needs to keep his serve to win, which also means that Giron can still get a "jedi counterattack" redemption opportunity.
Subtle ~www.mtlnovel.com~ but heavy.
Just like the previous game, "5:4", Jilong took the lead, and then Gao Wen served.
In this round, Giron launched a powerful attack and successfully won a break point, which was also the inventory of the second set.
However, Gao Wen was relentless, and used a strong backhand straight-line attack to lightly save the break point and take stock, and gained a firm foothold, improved the quality of the serve, formed a suppression through consecutive serves, proactively won two points in a row, and successfully secured the victory. hair.
The game points came to a draw, and at the same time, the pressure was put on Geelong.
At this time, both Jilong and Gao Wen knew that the second set was coming to an end, and the winner could be decided at any time. The second set is about to get out of my control.
Gao Wen improved his status in time and challenged Jilong's serve, sparks burst out again.
The sword is on the verge of breaking out!
