Chapter 1418

Rafael Nadal, King of Clay, King of Roland Garros.

From the one-handed backhand shot on the back of the previous shot to the long-distance sliding step forehand to save the ball with a whip, Nadal showed his talent and ability to the fullest.

Especially the sharp touch on the defensive end.

If anyone is curious, why Nadal's performance in the first four games in Paris is still so strong, and why he was able to firmly suppress Gao Wen in the first two sets today, this is, reason-

Never underestimate Nadal's fighting spirit, ever!

In this point, Nadal has been pushed to the extreme, and Gawain perfectly fulfilled his advantage of serving. However, in the precarious predicament, Nadal once again showed his familiarity with the clay court and Philippe Chartier. He understood that he relied on sliding steps and forehands to successfully touch the high-pressure ball that Gao Wenzhi was determined to win.

and!

It's not just about defending and saving the ball. Nadal also showed the ability to turn a shot into an offense on the defensive end. With the swing of his wrist and the release of upper body strength, the racket hits like a whip. Diagonal, full gallop flight along the direction of the large angle of the diagonal.

Sharp, agile, light, fierce.

The long sword was unsheathed.

It can be seen from the hitting line that even in the desperate situation, Nadal's strong topspin still perfectly controlled the parabolic line and angle, and found a narrow line of sky near the net, trying to tear through Gawain's blockade , and finally complete the breakthrough and enter the bounds.

The thrilling big slash made the audience hold their breath.

And across the field—

Gao Wen, on high alert, tensed up all over.

toes. Broken steps.

jump. Adjustment.

Gao Wen never let down his vigilance, because he knew Nadal's ability and even more Nadal's fighting spirit. Even if he had completely gained the upper hand, as long as the ball was not over, anything was possible.

In 2022, in the semi-finals of the French Open, Nadal played against Zverev Jr., and the first set entered the tie-break. Zverev Jr. performed very well. "6:2" won four consecutive set points. A set victory should belong to the Germans; moreover, Zverev Jr. had the absolute upper hand in almost every matchup, pushing Nadal into the abyss step by step.

However, the final score was "10:8", and the Spaniard reversed and won the first set.

Everything is possible.

What's more, now Gao Wen is the one behind, and he has no right to take it lightly when he encounters a long and protracted tug-of-war in his serve.

Footsteps, Gao Wen's footsteps have been adjusted. From the moment the previous beat landed under high pressure, he has always kept his toes on tiptoe, and his center of gravity is completely light and agile.

Stepping up, moving sideways, sinking mentality, and condensing eyes slightly.

Then-

slash.

In the "Ferner Showdown" at its peak, Nadal's extremely passive forehand crossing and breaking Federer's net blockade has always been one of the most classic scenes. As an audience, Gao Wen has witnessed this countless times in front of the TV screen, and clenched his fists to cheer for Nadal.

Now, it was Gao Wen's turn to experience it for himself.

tiptoe.

move.

leap.

Because standing in front of the net, the speed increases and the rhythm accelerates. Press the fast-forward button and everything becomes faster. Naturally, the reaction time is also severely compressed. It is too late to move, and you have to leap.

The body rises into the air.

Highly.

gently.

Seeing that tennis was about to make a breakthrough, but Gao Wen's body stretched to the extreme, a backhand turn, and a two-handed backhand also evolved into a one-handed—

One stretch, one block.

Vacant.

extend.

The body is free from the shackles of gravity, and it is completely extended in midair. There is no skill or calculation, and it just responds instinctively, showing the ability of its physical fitness without reservation, and then praying silently deep in the heart, Concentration has reached the extreme.

The sound of the wind, hunting, and even the sound of muscle bursting and blood boiling can be heard, and large areas of flames are leaping up.

Then.

blocked.

Bang—I can deeply feel the impact of power and rotation on my wrist, like a stormy sea, rushing towards my face in an instant, so that I have to hold my breath to barely stand firm, but the whole world is still spinning, and all the light turns into a blur halo.

However, Gao Wen held his breath, and in the flash of light and flint, he turned his wrist lightly, wrapping the tennis ball with his soft hand.

In the next second, the fierce reaction force pushed the tennis ball back.

time, stop.

On the side of the court, Gao Wen Dapeng spread his wings, stretched his body, and was completely suspended in the air. Although his back was facing the court, his head was still staring at the direction of the tennis ball and turned back.

On the other side of the court, Nadal lost control of his body and kept rushing forward. He staggered and waited for the sprint inertia of the slide to weaken. He struggled to prepare for the second start. He also stared at the tennis ball intently and attacked again.

tread.

Tread.

Nadal, activated, the Spanish bull once again showed its unparalleled foot control on clay, unbelievably activated three times, and rushed forward with all its strength, however...

Too late.

Gao Wen's return ball crossed the net lightly, almost without any force or spin, it fell vertically, and landed close to the net, which was perfect.

Nadal was out of reach.

Even though it wasn't Gao Wen's original intention, this conditioned shot still showed an excellent touch and hit a perfect ball.

The audience, staring with bated breath—

I watched the tennis ball fall against the net, and then there was no movement after one jump, two jumps, and three jumps. After a whole beat, Nadal's figure appeared in the service area and continued to charge forward. A little bit, just a little bit, but still missed it.

This point belongs to Gao Wen.

boom!

The brain, detonated directly, fell into a blank, and finally there was only a group of buzzing roaring above the ears.

Nadal has played to the extreme, showing all his 18 martial arts, forcing the top performance in the stage state.

Gao Wen also played to the extreme, being exhaustive and adaptable, tense and focused throughout the whole process, showing his strength without reservation.

But this time, the two brave men met, and with a little bit of luck, Gao Wen escaped from death, from advantage to disadvantage and finally to the end of the round~lightnovelpub.net~ To win this point in a strong collision—

Fantastic!

Breathtaking!

In that room, Gao Wen flipped over and almost fell to the ground, but he controlled his body skillfully and knelt down on one knee, as if the Terminator had descended. He could see at a glance that two tennis **** had scored a goal. In an instant, his whole body He stood up abruptly with his hands clenched into fists, releasing all his emotions upright.

"Ahhh!"

"Ahhh!"

Roar, growl, release.

Gawain, without reservation—

Four break points and counting, a full ten-minute round, but he still kept serve after all.

The game is not over, the game is not over yet, the outcome is still a suspense, standing on the edge of the cliff, Gao Wen is still going all out to do his best.
