Match Point

Chapter 129: psychological confrontation

"Match point (!

Libitis was slightly stunned, and he started towards his forehand immediately, trying to return the ball, but the speed and power of the ball were beyond imagination, even though he had already reacted, he still Couldn't touch the ball.

ACE starts!

It was a bit of a surprise.

Not that ACE is surprising, but the way ACE is.

With the end of the entire spring season, the information and status of each team has been displayed in front of the world. Gao Wen of the Bruins team rose like a comet, which naturally attracted countless attention. The coaches and players have conducted in-depth discussions on him. Research and seek appropriate coping strategies.

Gao Wen's serve is not strong, but it is flexible and changeable. The combination of placement and rotation is dazzling, especially the performance on key points, which can also create a huge threat, often making it difficult for opponents to judge.

However, it is not Gao Wen's strong point to hit the serve vigorously. That is to say, the shortcomings of speed and strength are not a secret, just like Gao Wen's forehand is not stable. This is a situation that everyone can see .

In other words, when people mention Gao Wen's serve, "vigorous" and "super fast" are definitely not the first impressions that come to mind.

However, the ACE just now was a standard flat serve with a speed of 182 kilometers per hour.

Libitis had already made the correct judgment, but he was unable to catch up. Speed ​​is one thing, but the angle of the outer corner is completely torn apart is another. It can be said that this is a nearly perfect outer corner serve .

So...Gao Wen doesn't know how to hit the serve, but just chooses a variety of serves? Or is it because the energy and physical strength are at their peak in the opening stage, and the serve is particularly brave?

With doubts, Libitis walked towards the other side of the court, preparing to receive the second point.

Bending over and back, Libitis swayed his body, kept his center of gravity flexible, fixed his gaze on Gawain's serve, and made a prediction.

Inner corner!

Still in the forehand position!

Libitis' knees stretched out like a spring, and he threw his body out. His accurate prediction allowed him to successfully touch the tennis ball.

but!

Is it still a flat serve?

The serve was fast and heavy, once again breaking Libitis’s expectations, it hit the racket quickly, because there was no spin, it bounced back without staying on the racket at all, which also means that Libitis’s swing The movement was not complete, and there was only time to make a blocking movement, barely returning the tennis ball to the past.

Obviously, such a return has no spin, no power, no angle, and no control at all.

The tennis ball draws a high parabola, and then you can see that Gao Wen's footsteps are very smart and timely, and he enters the bottom line immediately and presses forward.

Before the tennis ball hit the ground, Gao Wen adjusted his position with small steps, stretched his entire body, and hit the tennis ball diagonally with all his strength with a forehand volley. The landing point he aimed at was Libi Tees' forehand.

boom!

Like a hurricane, the tennis ball blasted past.

Although Libitis started immediately and his footsteps were already fast, he was still too far away from Gao Wen's volley. As soon as he started his footsteps, the tennis ball bounced off the ground and couldn't catch up.

Forehand winner!

"30:0".

Libitis looked at his forehand position, trying to find an answer in his mind——

Because losing points is really too fast, and I am not nervous at all, so what is the reason?

The content of such a game is completely different from the coaching staff's preparations. What's going on?

Could it be... serve?

Libitis is not a player with particularly good tennis intelligence. It is difficult to see the overall situation. The only thought in his mind is the most direct and simplest first touch.

Judging from the current situation, Gao Wen's serving state is particularly good today. He scored twice with one serve and two flat shots. This is different from Gao Wen's usual games. So, how long can this state last? Does it fade away after a short time? Or can it last?

Perhaps, the best way is to take the initiative to change and break the opponent's state, instead of passively waiting for the opponent to feel cold.

What should he do?

Libitis also adjusted his tactics slightly. When he was ready to catch the ball, he could notice that his position was significantly earlier and closer to the baseline.

What exactly does this mean?

To put it simply, it is grab and go.

In tennis, serving can indeed have a huge advantage, but the serving action is also the most tedious and complicated. After serving, it often requires a return action and time to adjust the center of gravity. This is the most important thing for all tennis players. in this way.

If you want to gain sufficient time for yourself to return, then you must improve the quality of your serve and suppress your opponent's return as much as possible; otherwise, you may encounter backlash from your opponent.

On the receiving side, press the return ball as deep as possible, which is the way to compress the return space of the serving party. Maybe the serving party’s feet have just landed, and before they have time to stand firm, the return ball has already come under their feet, so Having to return the ball off balance is really very passive.

In addition, the receiving side deliberately moves closer to the bottom line, trying to grab the rising point of the tennis ball after it lands and rebounds, and quickly hits the tennis ball back to any position in the opponent's court, shortening the return time of the serving side. This is also the same. It can reverse the situation of the advantages and disadvantages of both sides.

This scene can often be seen in women's games:

The receiver's footsteps directly enter the bottom line to prepare to catch the ball. In fact, it is to seize the weakness of women's serve.

This trend, to be precise, should be led by Serena Williams, the representative of power play, and it has gradually become a technique among the new generation of female players.

However, men's competitions are relatively rare.

Because the power and speed of men's serve are very fierce, if the receiving side enters the field, they may miss the shot or be squeezed because of the untimely response. Therefore, the receiving position of male players is often very close. back.

Not everyone can grab the serve and receive it, and it needs to take a big risk.

At this time ~lightnovelpub.net~ Libitis is also experimenting.

After all, this was the first game, and it was far from the critical moment. He deliberately used this method to put pressure on Gao Wen, to show that he was not afraid of Gao Wen's serve, and then used the space of his position to press Gao Wen's serve. Psychological pressure, destroying the stability of Gao Wen's serve—

Anyway, serving is really not Gao Wen's strong point.

Even if the experiment of this point is not successful, points are still lost, and the psychological impact has been completed. No matter what, Gao Wen needs to challenge tactics.

Gao Wen was preparing to serve, when he raised his eyes slightly, he noticed the change in Libitis's position, and immediately deciphered the opponent's tactical intentions.

So, how should Gao Wen adjust his serve this time?
