Match point

Chapter 68
"Out of bounds!"

The clear and firm voice echoed in the stadium, and the rustling sound of annoyance and exclamation came, followed by the referee's voice announcing the score.

"0:40".

double fault!

It was a double fault!
At the beginning of the game, Harris lost three points in a row and faced three break points; what was even more frightening was that Gao Wen had only touched the ball twice, and he had already scored three points in Harris' serve. Definitely not the start the Quickies were hoping for.

unusual!
Totally abnormal!
Obviously, the performance of returning the serve twice in a row caused waves deep in Harris' heart. In the strong collision of momentum and momentum, Gao Wen had already unknowingly seized the advantage, and Harris was rushing towards him. Under the pressure, he made the first double fault of the game.

The situation is not good.

On the edge of the court, Cowell also had a headache, what happened to Harris?Slow heat?Still nervous?Even if the game is under tremendous pressure, Harris' strength should still have the upper hand, and the hard fight at the beginning completely disrupted the layout; but no matter what happened, we need to calm down now, and there are still three consecutive break points to save Woolen cloth.

So, Cowell didn't say much, noticing the sight cast by Harris, he just pressed his right hand slightly to signal Harris to calm down.

call……

Harris let out a heavy breath, turned his back to Gao Wen directly, refused to make any eye contact, immersed in his thoughts, thinking about the tactics of the next ball.

"Calm down, Andy, you can."

Harris secretly shouted to himself, and kept telling himself that the opponent on the other side was not that powerful, but just a stranger. He kept calm, dealt with it slowly, and after he figured out the opponent's routine and style, he could gradually take the initiative. When it comes to strength and then experience, it’s all about yourself gaining the upper hand——

The idea is correct; the key is, can it be implemented in this way?

Turning to face the court, standing behind the baseline, Harris raised his eyes to observe Gao Wen's position, and then completed the same serve again.

At this time, Harris was in the second zone and Gao Wen was in the first zone. Harris aimed at Gao Wen's forehand position, served an outside corner, and finally made a change in the serve.

However, the change routine is not rich——

Harris still habitually serves flat shots, hoping that his strength and speed can suppress his opponents, instead of pursuing the advantage of landing points through rotation. The young people still hope to improve their morale through direct hits from fist to flesh. It's the style of the game, and it's also pride.

Gao Wen's prediction was a little slow. After all, on the break point, there are too many routines and changes of the serving side. It is difficult to predict accurately in advance. We still need to compete in the actual game to know - this is the reason why he and Harry He also needs time to explore the encounter with Sri Lanka.

Although the start did not seize the opportunity, the first reaction was very quick, because the angle of the outer corner was not completely torn apart, and Gao Wen, who is tall and burly, was barely in place with a horizontal stride.

At this time, the coverage advantage of height and arm length is immediately reflected, and the right hand can already touch the ball with just a lift and a wave.

However, the speed of the ball came very fast, which did not give Gao Wen much space to complete the movement. He did not complete the forehand swing. He only relied on the strength of his upper body to complete a small swing, making full use of the delicate feeling of his wrist to pull out a basic stance. Diagonally, hit the tennis ball back flat.

It is still using force to hit, but this time the force is not sufficient, the strength and speed are suppressed, and it can be clearly felt that the angle of the return ball is not torn apart.

The only thing that can be determined is that the wrist skill at the moment of the shot still ensures that the return ball is deep enough, very close to the bottom line——

This is also to squeeze the opponent's space to return the ball, to prevent the opponent's footsteps from directly entering the court, hitting the rising point, and directly blocking the ball with one hammer.

really!

The tennis ball flew to within one meter of the bottom line. Although this was Harris' forehand area, but because the speed and power of the ball were very full, it squeezed his footsteps, and his swing was a little slower. Seize the opportunity to kill the board at the first time.

boom!
Harris also returned a diagonal with a forehand, almost a similar line and angle, as if copy-pasted.

"Forehand VS Forehand"!
Gao Wen returned to a diagonal, and Harris also added another diagonal. The two stood on the diagonal and kept going back and forth, as if they were doing a forehand pull in a practice match. Changing the line easily, but simply using the forehand to form confrontation and suppression.

In the studio, Sofar didn't speak - the same rules apply to tennis commentary, the default is not to speak during hitting the ball, until the ball is dead; of course, it's a different matter if it's a radio show.

But Sofar's attention was highly concentrated at this time. He could feel that Harris' forehand still had the upper hand, and Gao Wen's return could faintly feel "suppressed". The rotation restrained Harris, causing Harris to be unable to make a killer for the time being.

But if the stalemate continues, I am afraid Harris will have a complete advantage.

Right at this moment-

boom!
In the forehand pull, Harris, who had the upper hand with his strength, took the lead in attacking. He immediately caught the slight lack of strength of Gao Wen's return ball, and the landing point was closer to the bottom line of the teeing area. The entire bounce and rotation were slack. .

opportunity!

Harris made a decisive decision, turned sideways in advance, and pulled the position horizontally with small steps in a row to gain more space for his forehand swing.

really!

When the tennis ball was approaching, Harris knew that his judgment was correct. He started to beat the racket directly towards the tennis ball fiercely and brutally. He could even see the obvious downward movement at the time of the shot. Go down, bomb and detonate from the top down.

boom!
The flight trajectory and spin of the tennis ball were completely destroyed, and then changed the trajectory, evolving from a diagonal to a straight line, and rushed out towards Gao Wen's backhand position.

Oops!

When the previous shot was taken, Gao Wen had already realized that the situation was not good, the friction was not enough, and the landing point of the return ball was obviously much shallower than expected. The alarm bells sounded in his mind, but at the critical moment, Gao Wen did not panic , but calm and calm to the extreme.

With a slight glance from the corner of his eyes, he saw Harris' sideways footsteps. Before the tennis ball flew past the half court, he had already started ahead of time, striding forward and sprinting horizontally.

Tatata!
Tatata!
Gawain sprinted horizontally with all his strength, and the whole world turned into a halo, rushing like a torrential river, and the sound of violent wind whizzed past his ears. In an instant, Gawain entered an anaerobic state, and devoted himself to running, his eyes fixed. Keep a close eye on Harris' movements, not letting go of every detail.

boom!
The moment Harris made a move to press down, Gawain's pupils shrank rapidly, and the focus shifted from Harris to the tennis ball.

Boom!

Boom!

The tennis ball spins at high speed like a fireball.
