"1:5", so what?

Even though the score was miserable, Gawain didn't mind—

In the 2008 French Open final, Nadal played against Federer; in the 2020 French Open final, Nadal played against Djokovic. A donut, "6:0" liquidation, no mercy at all.

This is Nadal's ability on clay courts.

Therefore, the score is not important, not at all.

What really matters is, what's wrong with your game? This is the only focus that Gao Wen needs to care about.

not to mention!

This is still training.

Here, it needs to be explained that the training match between professional players is actually no different from the official match, the same process and the same rules:

One party serves first, followed by the other party; then the first party to get six games wins, if "6:6" enters the tie-break, and so on.

However, the training match is a training match after all, isn't it different from the official match at all? Except that the win or loss is not included in the official game data.

Yes, of course.

It’s not that you don’t need to worry about training games, you can deal with them casually, and you can play around. All coaches and professional players understand one thing:

Only by taking the training seriously can the training effect be achieved, and the training content be transformed into one's own ability and applied to the competition.

The real difference is not in attitude but in tactics—

It can be understood that the main purpose of training is to train one's own ability and improve.

Therefore, before each training game, the coaching team will also formulate tactics to see the purpose of this training game.

Sometimes, train players' strengths and try to find the touch; sometimes, train players' shortcomings, hoping to make up for them; The existing weapons are arranged and combined.

Giant players like Nadal are often the latter two, either training their shortcomings or training tactics, trying some tactics or weapons that they will not use in official games, slowly polishing through training games again and again, and then using them In the actual game, open the situation.

The simplest and most intuitive is the distribution of hitting points.

In the official game, Nadal's hitting point is always changing, because he knows that Gao Wen's backhand with both hands is very stable and sharp enough; at the same time, he may slightly focus on the forehand, especially in key shots, Break the balance by putting pressure on Gao Wen's forehand.

But today, in the training match, Nadal's shots were clearly focused on Gawain's backhand.

Of course, it can be said that Nadal is looking for his forehand touch, and it can also be said that Nadal is testing the limit of Gawain's backhand.

After all, this is training.

In other words, on the one hand, Nadal is concentrating on attacking the backhand position that Gao Wen is best at; on the other hand, Nadal is constantly trying new tactical combinations.

At the same time, due to injuries, Nadal is no longer in his best condition. While training with Gao Wen, he is also adjusting and exploring.

However, it is such a Nadal who, relying on his own clay soil background, easily opened the score and took the lead. This is the crux of the problem.

What is certain is that the footsteps of the red clay are moving, which must be one of the reasons. It is true that the basic skills cannot make up for the gap in three to five days.

But just because of that?

On the sidelines of the court, Agassi and Sampras have been communicating in low voices, waiting for the training game to end before launching an in-depth analysis.

At the same time, Gao Wen's head was also running rapidly.

Today, Gao Wen came to train with Nadal with a learning attitude.

He will never think that his defeat of Nadal at the Australian Open means that he has mastered the password to victory. Every game and every meeting is different; It means that the red clay can also be invincible, which is two different things.

Learning requires a correct attitude and a positive spirit.

In the NCAA before, when facing a new opponent for the first time, Gao Wen would often let go, make some different attempts, and then formulate tactics.

Later, after having a coaching team, Sampras was in charge of analyzing opponents, and there was no need for this anymore. After all, the room for error in professional games is limited; Also look at the opponent's tactics and react on the spot.

Now, facing the "clay clay version" Nadal's training match, Gao Wen also thought that he should try something.

What came to mind was the match against Nadal in the imperial capital last year.

At that time, both Gawain and Nadal were not at their best, so the game was very tense, and both players made adjustments to their shots and tactics.

At that time, Gao Wen's batting feel and accuracy were not good, and he was forced to enter the bottom line seesaw mode, constantly ensuring that the return ball could enter the bounds.

However, there are always mistakes in the winning shot, lack of means to score points, and the quality of the defensive return is mediocre, and finally fell into a rut of exhaustion.

Now, the situation is slightly different.

Gao Wen dared to take the shot and felt good in his hand, but because of the lack of the "powerful miracle" shot that released the energy in an instant, he was unable to break the balance for a long time.

And Nadal is a master of turning defense into offense, especially on clay, where he has so many amazing shots that he can always be breathtaking.

So, can he learn from the tactics of last year's Asian season~lightnovelpub.net~ and make some adjustments, and then find his own way of playing on clay?

To put it simply, Gao Wen has the ability to attack, but this ability is not enough to make a final decision on the clay court. He can adjust the plan:

Pay attention to the hitting effect of each attack. Like Nadal, start from defense, then accumulate advantages through offense, and patiently look for opportunities.

Of course, Nadal's defensive ability is at its peak, and he will definitely have the advantage in the long-round tug-of-war, but if Gao Wen is afraid of the tug-of-war with Nadal from the beginning, opening the clay court match with a fast-paced short round on the hard court would be a big problem. It is absolutely impossible to succeed.

Anyway, it's always something to try and see, isn't it?

Since the opposite side of the court is the most powerful and outstanding clay court player in history, Gao Wen should seize the opportunity to learn from the master in front of him.

This is also the meaning of the training match.

Snapped. Snapped.

Gao Wen was ready to serve.

This is the first set I have to serve. Although this is a training match with different intensity and mentality, it is also a severe test.

Gao Wen read a report focusing on China's ace table tennis team, they often practice in team training games:

"8:8", or "9:9", or "10:10".

That is the key score, if you don’t pay attention to it, you will die suddenly. Although it is only a training game, the accumulation of training over time can fully mobilize the tactical quality of the players, keep calm at the critical moment, find a way to break the game, and it is also a kind of exercise for the nerves.

So, how should I play the next serve game that must be guaranteed?
