Match point

Chapter 131

In the final analysis, a tennis game is a confrontation and wrestling between two players, so changes happen all the time, and suppression and countermeasures are the eternal theme of the game.

For the serving side, before serving, they must observe the opponent's position and state, and then adjust their serving tactics according to the differences in specific situations, not only to avoid directly sending the serve to the opponent's bowl, but also to serve The subsequent offensive connection rearranged tactics.

Observation and thinking are things that must be done every second in a tennis game. Once you stop observing and thinking, and just rely on your own/ability to hit the ball, then the game will soon fall into mechanical consumption. A strong teenage player may also give away the victory with a splash.

Gawain immediately noticed the change in Liptis' position.

Wei Wei was a little surprised.

But the real surprise is that Libitis's ability to interpret and develop the game is only two points, and he has already begun to try different tactical combinations.

This also means that no matter how smart Libitis is in tennis, at least he is a player who dares to change and try, and will never be rigid.

Gawain retracted his gaze, started to shoot the ball, and his brain was running at high speed.

What happened to the flat serve?

In fact, every player will hit the serve flat, but the difference is the quality.

For a long time, Gao Wen seldom hits the flat serve, because the quality of the flat serve is mediocre due to the lack of strength. Instead, it is easy to make a mistake in the first serve, and let himself fall into the situation of the second serve; but with the improvement of physical attributes, strength and The explosive power has made great progress, and the situation is different.

Although flat serve is still not Gao Wen's strong point, and there is still a galaxy gap between the top serve masters such as John Isner and Ivo Karlovic, but it can still become a kind of Gao Wen's serve strategy Curry. Choices can confuse the opponent's judgment and enrich your own game rhythm.

In the opening stage, his physical strength and energy were at their peak, so Gao Wen opened the situation with a flat serve.

And now, Libitis took the lead in making changes, so should he follow suit?Or should we stick to tactics?

Whoosh!
Gawain, serve.

The mustard-yellow tennis ball drew a full arc in the air, crossed the net high, landed in the diagonal service area, and then drilled towards Libitis.

Close serve?

Libitis was already ready, and made continuous adjustments in small steps. He immediately turned his body sideways, opened up space, and prepared to use his backhand to catch the ball, because the movement of the backhand is relatively small, and the movement of both hands backhand More consistent, still capable of finishing touches in a rush.

but!

Drill!
Oops!

After the tennis ball landed, a strong side spin deviated from the original flight path.

It's not a flat serve, but a chasing and side-spin serve. It seems that Libitis has long been expected to choose a backhand to catch the ball, and then the strong side spin makes the tennis ball cross the axis of Libitis's center of gravity and go inward. The body on the right side of Bitis flew over strongly.

If Libitis chooses to catch the ball with a forehand, then a direct swing will be fine.

But Libitis chose to catch the ball with a backhand, and his footsteps needed to be readjusted, and...

Damn!

At this moment, Libitis realized that there was no time and no space, because the space for returning the serve was already compressed because of his forward movement, and then Gawain disrupted the rhythm with an unexpected serve, Libitis Tice's second reaction could no longer keep up with the speed of the tennis ball.

Chi.

Libitis only had time to put the racket in front of him to block it, like a shield blocking an attack, there was no space or time to swing the racket at all.

Whoosh.

The tennis ball flies straight into the air and into the audience.

The spectators in the stands were agitated, and one or two stood up, trying to grab the baseball—oh, not a baseball but a tennis ball.

"40:0".

Libitis stood with his hands on his hips, showing a helpless smile, turned his head to look at the place where his teammates gathered, and cast a puzzled look:
Since when did Gao Wen's serve become so powerful?

But no one can give an answer.

The game continues.

At the next point, Gao Wen issued another outside angle——

The angle and speed are not completely torn apart, but to pursue the landing point, but the difference is that this time the outer corner is aimed at Libtis' backhand.

Libtis' backhand was obviously more stable than his forehand, just like Gao Wen. Seeing that it was the outside corner, he had already prepared his backhand with both hands, and he was even a little excited, because this was his first backhand since the opening. Once can come in handy.

Therefore, the whole racket and swing movements are very full and very stable. Even facing Gao Wen's first serve, thanks to Gao Wen's lack of pursuit of speed and angle, he has enough space to hit the ball, and his footsteps are two strides. The lateral pull of the stride is already in place, and then the ball is hit hard.

boom!
The entire hitting action was very full, and it could be heard from the sound of hitting the ball that the tennis ball turned into a light and shadow and flew towards the diagonal.

A hint of surprise grew in Libitis's heart: finally!I finally completed a complete shot!And the angle and speed are all perfect!

However, the surprise had just emerged, and the next second, Libitis saw Gawain appearing on his return line——

Calculating early, everything was within Gawain's expectations, including his backhand slash.

After serving the ball, Gao Wen immediately began to move laterally.

Libtis' backhand is indeed stable, but he is used to hitting oblique lines, and rarely hits straight lines; in addition, Gawain's serve sets a trap, the power and speed are average, but the rotation is increased, forcing Li Bitis chooses to hit the ball diagonally. If Libtis hits a straight line forcibly, the strong rotation will probably lead to a direct out of bounds.

In this way, the advantages of the layout are fully revealed.

Gao Wen's early movement gave him the opportunity. Even though Libtis' backhand was fast and heavy, his footsteps still arrived quickly, and when he was running quickly sideways, his backhand with both hands had already begun to attract attention. Shooting, in line with the rhythm of the footsteps, the backhand is like a fort erected:
Full swing, full arc, complete movement.

The moment the racket touched the tennis ball, the left leg braked urgently, the power of the sole of the foot extended along the muscles, the strength of the whole body was fully attached to the racket and condensed towards the tennis ball, and at the moment the racket was shot, the wrist was gently pulled out With a flick, the body also pressed forward with the completion of the swing.

Whoosh!
boom!
Liptis' backhand with both hands was powerful and heavy, but Gao Wen's backhand with both hands was faster and heavier, turning a solid slash into a straight line, instantly turning the situation around.

boom!
The tennis ball had already hit the ground and turned into a dead ball, and Libtis had just started his pace, and he was still half a court away from the tennis ball, unable to recover.

"Game, high!"

In the first round, Gao Wen sent out a "love-game" and won it easily without even breaking a sweat.

　First more.
