One step.

kick.

Gao Wen's right foot touched the bottom line of the teeing area, and with a light push on the sole of the foot, the power extended from the toes along the calf. The sole of the shoe could feel the rustling sound of red clay particles flowing between the edges, followed by a soft but The tough dirt texture creates a rebound that pushes the body out.

a turn around.

His body flew out, and then he saw Graf's figure stepping back and forth, adjusting his back and rushing towards the bottom line of the teeing area; but Gawain only glanced out of the corner of his eye, and then his eyes locked on I played tennis and noticed Graf's little ingenuity.

A light pick, without deliberately controlling the length of the return line, but the angle and rotation are very tricky.

The ball was returned and hit the sideline lightly. After landing and bouncing, a side spin pulled the parabola out, and at the same time almost all the force was removed. The material of the sideline further weakened the rebounding force, so that when Gao Wen turned back , almost no bounce height can be seen.

This also means that there is limited space to hit the ball.

However, Gao Wen didn't panic at all.

Different from the adjustment of long strides and small steps on hard ground, at this time, Gawain kicked the ground twice in a row with small steps, his right leg and left leg kicked hard, and accelerated in a short time. The reaction force pushed the body out violently, and then the right leg rushed forward.

Slide!

The inertia of the forward rush has already pushed the body out, the legs are completely extended in splits, and the right hand holds the racket, and continues to extend.

On the ground, a thin red clay waterfall rises, just like a car passing through a puddle on a rainy day.

Then, touch it!

In fact, not only did he touch it, but Gawain still had time to make changes. It was obvious that Graf had perfected the control of returning the ball, but Gawain still found a space between the gaps to use his wrist skillfully. Pushing all along the side, softly wrapping the tennis ball—

a pick.

There is almost no strength, and it is entirely the skill of using the wrist and forearm, all of which are hand skills, pushing the tennis ball in a straight line.

Without pausing, use the power of your right leg to push the ground to complete the turn on the spot, adjust in small steps continuously, bury your head forward, and return to the bottom line of the service area again.

A rush, a kick... "Ah! Damn!"

At this moment, Gao Wen could clearly feel that his footsteps on clay soil were still lacking in momentum—

From turning back and turning to sliding state, then turning in place, speeding up sprint, and finally to brake control, this is a series of complex footstep transitions.

If it's a hard court, Gao Wen can easily control it, and the whole connection is smooth and smooth, increasing his movement speed in the smoothest and most concise way, and at the same time saving energy to achieve the best effect; but on the clay court, the adjustment of details and the conversion of steps , the connection is not coherent.

Look, when he returned to the bottom line of the teeing area this time, his footsteps were not adjusted in time, so that in order to save time, Gao Wen slammed on the brakes again.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that you can’t brake suddenly, even Nadal and Djokovic, they must brake suddenly on the clay court; but braking suddenly means that you are in a passive state, and you can’t adjust your steps freely and smoothly. operation, and may face difficulties in the future.

Similarly, in the warm-up game, the reason is the same.

Today is the fourth day since Gao Wen arrived in Mallorca. He has completely adapted to the field and adjusted his tactics. The time for training has passed through his fingers in a blink of an eye.

Obviously, Gawain's footwork has made great progress—

In this warm-up game, the confrontation round between him and Graf has reached thirty-eight, which is completely different from the day he just came to Mallorca.

However, the thirty-eight rounds are not a strong confrontation where the bayonet turns red. After all, this is just a warm-up game with limited intensity. After entering the second half, Gao Wen's footsteps returned to the habit of hard courts. It can be seen that the clay court training time is still far from enough.

really!

A sudden stop and turn, this is just the beginning, just like the dominoes, the first domino falls, and then triggers a chain effect.

Gao Wen's footsteps became more and more passive; the difficulty of returning the ball became more and more difficult.

Forty-three rounds.

Forty-eight rounds.

Seeing that Gao Wen's advantage was eroded bit by bit, things seemed to return to Graf's familiar pattern. Although Gao Wen still insisted on not dropping the ball, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Gao Wen was very passive. Very, very passive, the balance of confrontation has tilted.

Gao Wen did not give up.

Kick off.

turn around.

Forward.

The whole movement is done in one go - with hard footsteps, you can also survive on clay soil, but it's just more laborious, but now Gao Wen has no choice, doesn't he?

Head-on, hit, meet the ball.

Gao Wen, turn your body slightly, instead of using a forehand sideways, you get out of the way and use a backhand.

The knees are bent, the center of gravity is lowered, the hands are backhanded, and the side cut towards the tennis ball seems to be just a routine return in the passive.

However, when he was about to touch the ball, he let go of his left hand, changed from a two-handed backhand to a one-handed backhand, and relied on the strength of his wrist and forearm to cut down.

change.

Feeling the strong force, the tennis ball spins at a high speed, like a butterfly, lightly crosses the net, and then... falls lightly.

Stick to the net!

Also, the one-handed backhand forgoes stability in favor of increased spin.

After landing, it can be seen that the tennis ball spins out to the outside, which does not have much rebounding force, and further pulls away the hitting line.

On the opposite side of the net, Graf's footsteps have arrived smoothly, but Gao Wen's wrist control of returning the ball this time is really too delicate and delicate—

The line, landing point, unloading force, and rotation are all top-notch.

Graf's forehand has come to the position, but there is not much space to hit the ball, so he can barely flick the ball with his wrist, trying to pick up the tennis ball again.

However-

The parabola was not well controlled and hit the net.

J.

In this round of the warm-up game, Gao Wen had the last laugh.

Gao Wen stood up straight again, panting like a cow, and his chest heaved violently. It can be clearly seen that his physical exertion was intensified due to the way he moved in the second half, and big drops of sweat flowed down like a small stream, but , but the smile on the corner of his mouth fully bloomed under the sun.

A kind of pure joy~lightnovelpub.net~ Graf also stood up straight and gave Gao Wen a thumbs up, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

Indeed, in the second half of the warm-up game just now, Gao Wen's footsteps have lost the touch of clay, and he has returned to his familiar hard court style, but the point is-

Gao Wen not only persisted, but also found the correct way to return the ball in an extremely passive and extremely difficult situation.

In fact, it can be seen from this that Gao Wen's understanding of red clay has made great progress.

Graf was already very satisfied with achieving such results in less than three days of training, which showed that Gao Wen's comprehension was very gratifying.

This is a positive sign.
