Chapter 1222 Appetizers

Defense!

From a defensive point of view, Puy, like Rublev and Busta, is indeed not a typical clay court player, because clay court needs to hone defense, and even passive defense may be the norm, and even offense requires more patience; at the same time, Both offense and defense require more variety.

However, like Rublev and Busta, Puy's defensive methods are also very monotonous, lacking follow-up extensions to reverse the passive situation.

At this time, Pui's footsteps have been smoothly moved in place, and the clay slide is very chic and very comfortable. However, Pui actually chooses to cut with a forehand.

Occasionally, including Nadal and Djokovic, they do use forehand slices to change the rhythm, or in extremely passive situations, the footsteps are not in place, and forehand slices are the last choice. It needs to be looked at according to the actual situation, it is not that simple.

So, what about Pui?

With his footsteps already in place, Pui considered that his center of gravity was unstable and it was difficult to exert force, so he cut a shot with his forehand, obviously without thinking too much.

Cutting, slightly sloppy.

straight line.

deep area.

That's all, even the rotation control of the cutting is so-so, it looks like the uncooked sandwiched rice has been rushed to the table.

On the other hand, Gao Wen.

The footsteps have been adjusted, and the eyes are watching Pui's return ball. It hits the clay with a strong backspin and is released. The bounce arc is not high; at the same time, the speed of the second fall is obviously accelerated, and it seems that the pull of gravity can be seen. , that tennis ball can no longer continue to fly upwards.

One step up.

Bend your knees.

Lean forward.

The most important thing to deal with backspin is that the center of gravity sinks. Once the center of gravity is not low enough, no matter how delicate the hand is, it is easy to hit the ball directly into the net.

Backhand with both hands, get ready.

At this moment, Gawain raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Pu Yi from the corner of his eye, and observed Pu Yi's position and movement—

The effect of Pui's choice of cutting can be seen, because there is no force to stop and turn suddenly, so the body is completely controlled and returns quickly.

In a blink of an eye, Puy has already moved laterally to the left again, returned to the center of the field, and is ready to continue defending.

Maybe Puy's defensive hitting skills are not rich enough, but there is no doubt about the lightness and agility of his footsteps, which also creates difficulties for Gao Wen's subsequent hitting.

for a moment.

Gao Wen observed, Puy moved, Gao Wen hit the ball, everything happened in a short moment, and then Gao Wen had already shot.

whip?

Not really.

small ball.

This is the correct answer.

Very, very suddenly, at the moment when he was about to touch the ball, Gao Wen's backhand with both hands changed the way of hitting the ball. A slice, like a knife cutting off the water, wrapped the tennis ball gently and delicately, but changed the flight mode of the tennis ball neatly. , complete the smart touch with a soft touch.

Tennis balls, dancing like yellow butterflies spreading their wings in Provence lavender fields.

Huh!

The audience took a deep breath.

Sudden!

This is really too sudden!

From the strong collision of the hard bridge and the hard horse, the momentum of the offensive and defensive transition was abruptly interrupted. Puy's cutting was unexpected enough. Just when everyone thought that Gao Wen would take advantage of the victory and pursue it, he continued to attack with heavy artillery; Steel making turns into soft finger twisting, completely changing the rhythm of the entire round.

"ah!"

Pu Yi, caught off guard, let out a roar from the depths of his dantian, paused and kicked his feet, and then his body rushed out like an arrow off the string.

Although it was not expected, Puy's second start was very timely, and his footsteps fully understood the characteristics of the clay, even if it was an emergency start, there was no problem.

Tread.

Tread!

Pui sprints at full speed, with a height of 185 cm, which is just right in the current tennis world, with both lightness and strength, and there is no problem in moving.

In the blink of an eye, Pui had already arrived on horseback.

Gao Wen was on guard, with both hands holding the camera, a series of small steps adjusted to enter the bottom line, and surfed the Internet quickly, using his coverage area to put visual pressure on Pui.

Pui's footsteps were about to arrive.

Although Gao Wen's small ball is very sudden, the technique is still not enough, the force is not released completely, and the line control is a little too long. It is not proficient enough at first glance, and more games and practice are needed to polish it.

Therefore, this also gave Puy a chance to continue to defend.

Pui raised his gaze a little, and then saw Gao Wen who was approaching as fast as a wall, and his gliding movement was affected—

Even if the ball catches up, how should we deal with it?

He hesitated a little.

The movement of the racket was slow, and then he missed the hitting point. The racket barely made a hook, but the ball frame hit the tennis ball, and the tennis ball hit it directly.

clatter...

The tennis ball hit the net, setting off a white net wave.

boom!

The audience is boiling.

It can be clearly seen in the sight that a group of spectators stood up, raised their arms and shouted, overflowing with excitement and excitement, shining brightly under the sun.

break!

Gao Wen, unexpectedly broke again!

From "0:3" behind, he was already "4:3" ahead in a blink of an eye. After experiencing the discomfort in the opening stage, Gao Wen seemed to have finally found some touch on the clay.

Thunder, surging.

Pui was a little taken aback.

More importantly, there is still confusion and confusion. Puy did not understand what was going on. He still played according to his own style and his state has not dropped, but how did the game turn around? Moreover, he gave up his advantage in the first set by losing two serve games in a row.

what happened?

Pui couldn't figure it out.

At the end of the slide, Pui supported his body with both hands to avoid falling, then raised his head and found Gao Wen's figure on the opposite side of the net.

What about Gao Wen?

The cloud was light and calm, calm and unhurried, no celebration, no cheering, no fists even clenched, still full of inquiring expressions, looking at the point where the ball landed just now, there was no dissatisfaction or happiness, just nodded slightly, and then turned around Turned around like this...turned around...

That's it?

The question mark in Pui's mind is about to explode. Isn't this worth cheering from being three games behind to turning the situation around and taking the lead?

What is Gao Wen's attitude?

For a while, it was also difficult for Pui to express how he felt, angry? Aggrieved? shame? Unwilling? depressed? or something else?

Pui also stood up again~lightnovelpub.net~He lowered his head and returned to the players' rest area. After all, he couldn't hold back and looked back at Gao Wen again.

In fact, at this moment Pui couldn't see Gao Wen's face through the referee's seat, but could only see a silhouette behind him, but Pui always felt that that figure was laughing at him.

If Pui knew the true thoughts in Gao Wen's mind, he shouldn't think too much, but the point is that he doesn't know and has no way of knowing—

Gawain was thinking,

Little ball, no, we still have to practice.

From the offseason to the spring season and then to the clay court season, I have practiced all the way. The usual training volume is enough, but after all, there is still a lack of actual combat drills. The whole feeling and control are not right. The next clay court season still needs to be practiced slowly.

The little ball just now was purely an appetizer, just an experiment, but the effect was not satisfactory.

Three minutes on stage, ten years off stage.

Sure enough, Sampras was right. The younger generation's net skills are really unbearable, and they need to practice hard.
