Chapter 1238 An Embarrassing Position

The situation is tense and explosive.

Gao Wen understands that the game is now in the familiar mode of the Bryan brothers. Although it is on clay, the rhythm of the round is actually a hard court mode. If he wants to break the situation, then Gao Wen must disrupt the rhythm of the Bryan brothers.

However, the words are simple to say, but the actual execution is not the same thing.

After all, the Bryan brothers were the ones who took the initiative. Facing the first set, they were highly focused and burst out with top energy.

Gao Wen tried to make a change, but he was caught by Mike, and his volleying action compressed time and space, and the quality of the volley immediately improved.

Dimitrov was very embarrassed, and he barely hit a bounce ball, and the quality of the ball dropped significantly—

Chance!

Chance for the Bryan Brothers.

The bouncing ball has almost no control at all, lack of spin and strength, coupled with the raised arc, it is simply a high-pressure feeding ball in front of the net.

However, Dimitrov’s rebound was a bit special this time, neither high nor low. The height of the tennis ball when it flew over the net was a bit awkward, so that Mike’s hitting point was difficult to grasp, and it was easy to make mistakes when he forced it. In the end, Mike He slapped his forehand, and pressed the tennis ball straight forward.

But there was no smash.

Huh?

Gao Wen immediately noticed Mike's volley in front of the net. The batting technique is very ordinary, almost without any fancy, just a simple pounce. Apart from compressing the rhythm of the round, there are no special features in terms of power, speed and spin. , which also means—

If it is on a hard court, the compression of the rhythm is enough, "the only martial arts in the world is fast."

But on the clay, after the tennis ball hits the ground, the strength and speed are swallowed by the clay, the impact of the rhythm is weakened, and the oppressive feeling of the ball quality no longer exists.

In other words, even though the Bryan Brothers have taken the absolute initiative in front of the net, they have not been able to score for a long time, which already explains the problem.

So, is this an opportunity for Gawain Group to turn things around?

Gawain had an idea.

Everything was condensed in a short millisecond, Dimitrov's rebound, Mike's volley, and in the blink of an eye, the tennis ball flew towards Gao Wen.

Gao Wen didn't hesitate, he had already made his judgment and choice in a split second.

with a wave.

Mention.

Gao Wen took the first half step and backhanded with both hands, but changed the way of hitting the ball with continuous force before, and consciously used the pull to hit the ball to slow down the rhythm of the shot.

On the surface, Gao Wen and Dimitrov suffered continuous pressure from the Bryan brothers and hit the bounce ball continuously, further eroding their advantage.

In fact, Dimitrov shot passively, but Gao Wen took the initiative, pulling up the topspin and hitting an embarrassing line—

Like Dimitrov's previous return, the tennis ball flies in an awkward line, not high enough, not over the top; not too low, near the shoulders.

This is an ambiguous hitting position, not high enough to make a high-pressure smash; not low enough, so there is no way to hit the ball normally, but unfortunately, this is a high ball, equal to an attacking opportunity, it would be a pity to just give up, strong The offense is prone to mistakes.

Such a return, such a line, and such a hitting position are often the most annoying in tennis games.

Because there are so many options and possibilities.

Once there are more thoughts in the mind and a slight hesitation in the shot, then there will be mistakes in hitting the ball. In the actual game, we often see players facing such an incoming ball, making offensive shots near the shoulders, inexplicably making outrageous mistakes, getting off the net, going out of bounds, anti-aircraft guns, etc., everything that one expects to find.

Moreover, not only ordinary players, but even the Big Four occasionally make mistakes—not lack of ability, but hesitation. Tennis is a sport that pays attention to timing, and hesitation means timing deviation. Any slight misalignment between the timing that was actually delayed due to hesitation, the result is two different things.

Return the ball and aim for Bob.

Bob, who has experienced many battles, realized the embarrassment of the ball immediately.

If it is a singles player, it is tricky to deal with at this time, because they need to worry about the effect of their return ball, and then prepare for the next shot.

But for doubles players, thanks to the presence of a partner, their strokes are much simpler, and if they dare not take risks, they choose to transition—

Bob, that's what it did.

Left-handed shot, forehand interception.

Bob used the simplest forehand to block the transitional ball, pressed the tennis ball into the deep area again, easily resolved the problem, and pushed the problem to Gao Wen again.

Gao Wen was overjoyed:

Chance.

The trap really worked. The Bryan brothers always dealt with this kind of half-high ball too easily. This is also the habit of all doubles experts. Advantage.

Tennis balls, falling lightly on the clay—

Originally, the four hits just now, from the start of Dimitrov to the end of Bob, none of the four hit the ball with force, so that the power attached to the tennis ball is running out, and it has completely evolved into a light hit. Now Falling on the red clay, the strength was further absorbed, and when it came to Gao Wen's position, there was almost no impact.

Bob tried to form oppression through the improvement of rhythm and the control of landing point, but lacked the increase of power, so the impact did not pose any threat to Gao Wen.

But see.

Gao Wen took half a step back.

When his body was not squeezed and there was no need to retreat, Gao Wen took half a step back.

At the same time, bend your knees, squat down, completely press down the center of gravity of the whole body, and set up a backhand with both hands.

To move forward, to lift, to rub, to rise.

At this moment, it was obvious that Gao Wen made a golf swing-like hitting motion, trying to create as much friction as possible between the racket string and the tennis ball.

topspin.

Strong topspin.

For a long time, Gao Wen hoped to use the characteristics of clay to create an effect, but he succeeded in creating it after Dimitrov accidentally bounced the ball.

The tennis ball flies lightly and nimbly.

Whoosh!

Over the top lob.

All the eyes of the audience, followed by Brother Bryan, raised up high, looking at the tennis ball that entered the sunlight, but—

etc!

Why does Gao Wen's lob look like a half-finished product?

A really good lob should go over the top of your head and then hit the bottom line, preferably directly on the bottom line, or simply land on the dead end of the bottom line.

In this way, Mike's position can be pushed to the bottom line~lightnovelpub.net~The blockade before the net is broken, and Gao Wen and Dimitrov can naturally get breathing room.

Gao Wen possessed such ability.

However, Gao Wen's lob shot this time seemed a bit hasty, as if he didn't feel good about it, and the entire lob wasn't full enough or far-reaching enough.

Over the top, it's over the top, but unfortunately, the depth control is not enough, it's like worrying about the lob going straight out of the bottom line and controlling the power of the shot.

what happened?

Could it be that Gao Wen didn't practice enough backhand lobs?

Mike, retreating quickly.

Bob, while quickly traversing.

One is ready to hit the ball and the other is ready to return to defense. The partners of the Bryan brothers still have a good understanding.

By the time Bob reaches the center of the field, Mike is already at bat—

Gao Wen's high ball is evolving into Mike's high ball opportunity.

So, is Gao Wen stealing chickens without losing money?
