Match point

Chapter 162
"Competition, Gawain."

In the first game, it took less than 2 minutes for the referee to report the score, announcing that Gao Wen had successfully secured the serve, and the Bruins fans raised their arms and shouted.

Sofar also made a brief comment for the first time.

"From the opening point of view, Gao Wen entered the state very quickly. He served well today. He only had one second serve in the first game, and all the others were first serves. He sent a love-game strongly and successfully secured his first serve."

Sampras nodded in agreement.

"Yes, it can be seen from the tactical combination that Gao Wen is fully prepared for the game."

"The landing points of the four serves are all well thought out."

"The main thing is to serve from close quarters, without intentionally widening the angle, because Gao Wen knows Saramento's prediction and touch, and can often return the serve, so instead of taking risks to pursue angles, it is better to create traps to lure the enemy deep. .”

Sofar agreed with Sampras's "trap" and kept nodding, but did not interrupt Sampras' comments.

"Serve from close quarters, squeeze Saramento's return options through the change of rotation, and the first attack that follows can show Gawain's layout."

"He has a full understanding of Saramento's regular return routes and has made sufficient preparations in advance. Therefore, the connection of offense is very fast, and at the same time, the attack is also very particular, which further compresses Saramento's return space. .”

"Pressure is accumulated bit by bit."

"So, Saramento returned the ball once to the net and once returned the ball out of bounds, and Gao Wen scored twice. The four points in the first game were over in a blink of an eye."

According to common sense, the playing styles of Gao Wen and Saramento are not unreasonable types. Because of their excellent defense, the games are often relatively stalemate, but the first game was uncharacteristically:
Gao Wen's offense was very sharp and full of firepower; Saramento's defense was dull and misfired, conceding consecutive goals.

Compared with the "love-game" guarantee, what is more important is that there is no entanglement in every point, and basically all of them end the battle within three beats.

The third match between these two players, showing a new look?
"For ordinary viewers, they may think that Saramento has not yet entered the state and is relatively slow, and the mistakes in the first game are understandable, but in my opinion, Gao Wen has already started to make arrangements from the serving session. The flow of attack was smooth and neat, forcing Saramento to react too late, and that's when the error occurred."

"Of course, it's only the first game. There's no need to draw conclusions too early. The hands of both sides haven't fully warmed up yet. We should look at Saramento's serve game next."

Sampras' comments came to an end for the time being. Without Sofar's ridicule or explanation, the audience could already feel Sampras' appreciation for Gao Wen.

So, is Sampras' professional judgment correct?

Game, go on.

boom!
Saramento is obviously well prepared for today's game. The first serve aimed at Gao Wen's forehand and sent an inside corner, but the angle was not fully opened, but slightly pressed inward. Going in, it's not a close-up serve, but it also squeezes into Gao Wen's position.

reason?

It's very simple, Gao Wen is a tall man, if Saramento's serve is wide open, but the speed and strength are not in place, Gao Wen will fly out with one kick, and the roc will spread its wings, covering a very wide area, and skillfully use the wrist With the help of force, you can hit a very tricky return ball.

So, the right choice for Saramento is:

Or, it is to make the outer corner bigger, tear the angle completely, and break Gao Wen's body balance.

Or, just don't deliberately widen the angle, but squeeze some swing space.

After two duels, Gao Wen became more familiar with Saramento, and Saramento also became more familiar with Gao Wen, and the tactics were being adjusted in detail.

Judging from the results, Saramento's serving tactics are somewhat similar to Gao Wen's, but the principles are different and the methods are not exactly the same.

It can be clearly noticed that Saramento's serve is flatter and faster, with less spin, and naturally, less stamina.

Gao Wen moved sideways to the right. Although the forehand stroke could not be fully stretched, the pull of the wrist and the swing of the forearm clearly felt that the strength was fuller and more sufficient, and the tennis ball was lightly pulled out of a moon The bridge flew towards the opposite side of the field.

It can be seen from the side that the parabola is not exaggerated, but the rotation is very strong, and the forward force is very fierce.

Drop point, very deep.

Although it was not as exaggerated as hitting the bottom line, that is, it was one step away from the bottom line, it still left a bit of space for Saramento to hit the ball; but after the rebound on the ground, the forward momentum was urgent and fierce, heading towards Saramento. Tor's chest position drilled past, and the rotation kept destroying Saramento's judgment.

For the audience, Gao Wen's return ball landed in the middle of the road in a regular manner, without tearing the angle, and did not press the bottom line. It seemed that it was not difficult to return the ball.

However, Saramento is in a bit of a dilemma. He can't stretch his forehand, and he can't move his backhand. No matter what route you choose, if you tear up the angle rashly, you may go out of bounds.

Ambiguous, vague, too many choices.

Tennis is like this. Sometimes, having too many choices is a bad thing, because within a millisecond, the brain needs to make multiple choices, which in turn affects the accuracy of the shot; Maybe you can hit a difficult game winning score.

In the blink of an eye, Saramento still wrapped the tennis ball with a soft touch, and pushed it toward the deep center of the lane——

Copy and paste, throw the same problem back to Gao Wen.

However, the problem is, stamina!
Saramento clearly felt the tail force of Gao Wen's return, which was more abundant than the previous two matches, like the devil's pepper, which made people breathe fire.

snort!
The moment he hit the ball, Saramento realized that he was being squeezed, and the whole feel was obviously unable to completely wrap the tennis ball, and then the quality of the ball returned dropped.

Whoosh.

Seeing that the tennis ball flew back smoothly, it was also in the middle, but——

The parabola is high and floating. It is obvious that the swing has not been able to suppress the tennis ball. It can be seen that the imprint of control failure is evident; moreover, the landing point is too shallow. It should have been pressed near the bottom line to compress Gao Wen's return space, but now it is far away from the bottom line. There are two big steps.

The effect is too far away.

Not only did Gao Wen not be oppressed, but Gao Wen stepped forward very timely.

step!
Two steps!

Gao Wen firmly seized the opportunity, and when he smelled the opportunity, he immediately entered the bottom line. The connection of the attack was still flowing, and then he spread his arms in a movement of white cranes spreading their wings, making full use of his height advantage, and shot down from a high point. With any full force of rotation, the tennis ball is hit hard.

boom!
The tennis ball made a diagonal flight and flew towards Saramento's forehand. From this shot, it can be seen that Gawain's strength has improved:
Fast again!Heavy again!sink again!

The overall shot quality is nothing short of equal.

　Second more.
