Chapter 1646 Psychological Game

Snapped!

Under the attention of all the people, the linesman was completely unmoved, concentrated on his work, put his hands together, his eyes were firm, his expression was serious, he made an in-bounds gesture, fulfilled his duties, and gave confirmation. Inside.

In the next second, the voice of the referee updating the score came from the ear.

"Take the lead, high."

Hum, buzz buzz.

Applause, thunder.

Shock and astonishment were written all over the faces, and they couldn't believe what was happening in front of them. They were admiring, surprised, and reveling—

Area 1 outer corner ACE?

It turned out to be an ACE in the outer corner of the first district!

Although ACEs are very common on grass courts, in today's game, Murray and Gao Wen did not have many ACEs:

Murray is affected by a shoulder injury, so he changed his serving strategy, trying not to pursue ACE, but to open up the situation by controlling the landing point;

Gao Wen's serving state was somewhat ups and downs, especially if Murray's return performance today had a direct impact.

Therefore, as of the fourth set, neither of them had double figures in the number of ACEs.

result?

"Wow."

Exclamation, admiration, admiration.

In the most tense, intense and stalemate moment, just after a double fault sent the match point, Gao Wen sent out an ACE that was crucial and might even overturn the whole situation. This courage, this courage This ability can easily ignite the audience.

"Wow!"

Just when they thought that the game should be like this, the most exciting and most beautiful parts have all been shown, and it is time to come to the end. However, Gao Wen made his own voice with an unparalleled performance, pushing the game to a whole new level, once again Refresh your cognition.

incredible!

Exciting!

Applause continued to roar throughout the central court.

However, some people don't think so-

Murray himself.

Murray was dissatisfied with his performance, very, very dissatisfied. Not to mention missing two match points in a row, today's serving reception, which has been performing well throughout the game, also made an error in judgment that should not have occurred. It was too inappropriate.

If you think about it carefully, the first match point was also a second serve error.

Mistakes are inevitable, but they shouldn't be at such a critical moment when the bayonet is popular, let alone appearing in the most important part of the game, the receiving and serving link. The burning anger burst out in the chest in an instant.

Murray was furious.

Nagging and cursing, Murray was actually losing his temper with himself, but he habitually liked to vent his emotions towards his team, and subconsciously yelled at the player's box, and his emotions were difficult to calm down.

This scene, in the eyes of others, seemed that Murray was expressing dissatisfaction with the home audience, and the picture did not look so good.

The atmosphere is a bit subtle.

As a result, the audience had quieted down, Gao Wen was already standing on the baseline and ready to serve, and Murray was the only one still chattering.

The referee watched Murray quietly, using his eyes to send out urging light waves. How to control the rhythm and atmosphere of the game is indeed a difficult problem. It is precisely because these two points may affect the outcome of the whole game, the referee has been always Work hard to control the field and avoid your own penalties from interfering with the progress of the game—

At any time, the referee should not be the protagonist of the game.

Therefore, the referee did not give Murray a "warning", but conveyed the urging with eye contact.

finally!

Murray returned to the bottom line, ready to continue the game, but he still raised his racket to signal to Gao Wen, as an apology for the little episode just now, and he regained his attention and returned to the track of the game.

This is a tennis game. Even near the match point, many unexpected situations may occur. There are many moments that test players to maintain their concentration. A slight fluctuation of mentality leads to distraction, and the game may be different.

Even Gao Wen was no exception.

Although Gao Wen's psychological quality and concentration ability have always been praised, which is also the key to his ability to write a series of miracles, but the players are ordinary people, and different games and different situations cannot be generalized.

Even Nadal's tenacious nerves may fluctuate after a fierce battle against the other Big Three in the Grand Slam. This is all normal and part of the game.

call.

Gao Wen let out a long breath. He was no longer a fledgling stunned young man. He slowed down the rhythm very cleverly and adjusted his breathing a little. Take the pace of the game into your own hands.

Who knows?

Maybe Murray's emotional catharsis is a tactical disruption of the rhythm, maybe not; but what is certain is that at this stage of the game, the contest between you and me has extended from the content of the game to physical state, physical reserve, mentality Changes and so on a wider and more complex range.

Gao Wen made a simple adjustment.

Then, ready to serve—

One shot.

J.

Gao Wen tilted his head, and the subtle changes in the backward and leading positions are also quietly surging. It is the same for both players. The subtle changes in the feel are often difficult to detect but exist objectively. What's more, today's serve as a whole The state is to encounter a head-on collision with the wall, which does not meet expectations.

As soon as this shot was made, Gao Wen tried to speed up, but the pressure was too hard, and he went off the net directly.

So, after getting the game point, Gao Wen had to face the test of the second serve again.

So, how should the second serve choose the landing point, and how should the tactics be arranged?

Second serve.

—Outside corner, the second outside corner in a row, and it is a classic routine for outside corners in the second district.

Murray, accurate prediction.

It seems that the emotional catharsis just now was very effective. Murray immediately regained his focus, and the whole pre-judgment, activation, and shooting immediately regained his state.

As soon as you kick the ground and take a step, you are already in place.

For the second serve, Gao Wen chose topspin. The strong spin brought high bounce. Although the effect on grass was not as good as that on clay, he still pulled up the parabola after landing on the rebound. In the end, Murray had to try to hit the ball from the shoulder position. .

Murray backhanded with both hands, handled very cleverly, and slapped lightly.

Seemingly simple, it's all about skill.

Returning the ball, it waddled back to Gawain's feet—

Midpoint, UU reading www.uukanshu.com deep area.

Murray deliberately aimed at Gao Wen's serving position and sent the tennis ball back. Instead of attacking, he formed a suppression, and then quickly moved laterally.

While running wildly, while observing.

Got it!

Murray saw that Gao Wen's footsteps were squeezed, and because he refused to back up, his footsteps and swing movements were pinned, and he had to hit a rebound ball, which was exactly Murray's tactical purpose.

Bounce, this is a very difficult return to control because there is little room to swing, it's all about feel.

Moreover, hard courts and clay courts are already very difficult, and the difficulty of grass courts will increase exponentially, because the bounce is low, fast and irregular, further compressing the already scarce space.

It was Federer who was able to hit a rebound ball that shocked everyone on the grass.

Generally speaking, when a player hits a bouncing ball on the grass, he will directly hit it; even if the ball can be returned, the parabola will be pulled up high, which is the best attack opportunity for the opponent.

In other words, Murray created an offensive opportunity for himself through his excellent return.
