Snapped.

oh!

One shot, off the net.

At the scene, there were exclamations, and the tension in the air could be clearly felt, and layers of pressure were vented down.

Hush!

But then, the audience spontaneously issued a reminder, and the noise disappeared in a blink of an eye, and fell into a more tense and hotter silence again.

The heart is almost unbearable.

"Second District."

"The second serve on match point, this is Murray's chance."

Bend your knees, kick off, throw the ball.

boom!

With a crisp sound, the tennis ball flew from Gao Wen's side to Murray's side.

inner corner.

Returned to Murray's forehand position again; moreover, the serving speed dropped significantly this time—

108 miles (175 kilometers).

For a while, it was unclear what was going on, did Gao Wen do it on purpose? Or is it softness under heavy pressure? Or is it conservative to avoid double faults?

There is no time to think carefully and explore, and the attention is completely focused on the confrontation in front of him.

Murray was unaffected.

In the second serve, it was necessary to rush to attack. No matter how effective Gao Wen's serve was, he had to seize the opportunity, otherwise, there would be no more chances.

Murray's first reaction was very quick. The forehand had already started to lead the racket. Immediately afterwards, Murray also noticed the speed of the serve.

In fact, from the point of view of the receiving side, the direct feeling of the serving speed is not so obvious, because the speedometer tests the speed at the moment of contact between the tennis ball and the racket; but the wind resistance encountered during the flight of the tennis ball, the friction encountered after landing, etc. The speedometer doesn't show it at all.

So, sometimes, I feel that the speed of the ball is average, but the result is to create the fastest speed of my own game; sometimes, I feel that the speed of the ball is fast, but the number on the speedometer seems to be the same thing.

What really alerts Murray is not the speed of the ball, but the bounce—

It can be clearly noticed that Gao Wen did not use force, so the bounce of the tennis ball after landing is not high, which is lower than the bounce height of ordinary second shots.

Alarm bells, alarm bells!

Murray's forehand has been shot, but soon found that the hit point is a little lower than expected.

Oops!

In an instant, Murray didn't panic, and turned his wrist lightly.

He didn't choose to hit the ball, because the parabola is difficult to control, and a slight lack of it may increase the arc, which is equivalent to giving Gao Wen an attacking opportunity. The entire hitting position is very comfortable, which is obviously Gao Wen's serving strategy.

He chooses to push and block with a cut, relying on a light flick of the wrist. This is also an advanced technique. To be precise, it is more often used in transition. When he is passive and has no chance to attack but does not want to passively defend, he uses Such a flick controls the drop point:

On the one hand, it can fully open the space of the field, on the other hand, it can limit the opponent's attack through the low bounce of unloading force.

Now, Murray is used in receiving and serving.

The effect is remarkable.

The tennis ball shoots out along the direction of the small slash, and then hits a shallow ball, which lands near the bottom line of the service area and bounces extremely low.

The end result is an effect similar to an outside corner serve.

So, a difficult problem was thrown to Gao Wen: to go online, or not to go online.

Previously, Gao Wen also sliced ​​such a ball, making full use of the characteristics of the grass, intentionally hitting a ball that was neither deep nor shallow, and threw a difficult problem to Murray.

At that time, Murray chose the bottom line, but the parabola of the ball was raised, and then he was hit by Gao Wen's step-up attack to form the winning point.

Now, Gao Wen chooses...

Also stick to the bottom line.

But the difficulty is obvious. The landing point is shallow and the bounce is low, which does not give Gao Wen much space to hit the ball.

Then, Gao Wen also rushed forward with long strides, and then pulled up the parabola with his forehand, hitting the ball towards the big triangle area of ​​the diagonal bottom line.

To be precise, Gao Wen and Murray's handling is very, very similar, the whole routine is equivalent to copying and pasting, but now the two people's positions are reversed.

The tightness and closeness of the master game can be seen again at this time.

Just after he finished hitting the ball, Gao Wen made an emergency brake, kicked his right leg on the ground, and made a quick horizontal sprint towards his left side in the next step.

From a conventional point of view, Murray's forehand should choose more slashes, even a little stubborn.

But in this round, standing on the edge of the cliff, Murray also consciously broke the routine. The forehand line has been opened, and both oblique and straight lines are possible; The gap is very obvious. Judging from Murray's character, there is no reason not to choose it.

Gao Wen ran wildly all the way, his eyes firmly fixed on Murray, the hunting wind was stirring under his feet, and then Murray was already in place and opened his forehand—

straight line!

Sure enough, it was a straight line!

At the same time, with a straight forehand, Murray's footsteps cut directly into the bottom line and hit the net.

Murray is also online!

Don't forget, the grass is the most familiar venue for Murray. Seeing Gao Wen surfing the Internet frequently, Murray also broke the balance very abruptly at the critical moment, using all the technical and tactical combinations that are really under the box, and giving it a go.

Tread, Tread!

Gao Wen could clearly feel the overwhelming pressure coming towards his face, so much so that he could feel the hot and jerky air when he moved horizontally, as if he was walking in the magma, every step was burning hot and tingling Moving forward in a sense, it may be wiped out at any time.

crisis!

However, there is no way out of desperation.

Murray's forehand is different from Gao Wen's. He seldom exerts force and focuses on control. Of course, in Gao Wen's serve-winning game, Murray's forehand force and line changes have increased significantly. However, he is used to It still goes deep into the bone marrow, and it can be seen from the details of the batting:

Either force with a slash, or control with a straight line, that is to say, in the force and line change, choose one of the two, and Murray rarely adds one.

Occasionally.

But at least, not this time:

Murray, chose to change the line.

However, in this round, Murray's tactics were indeed enriched, thick and thin. Although the line change did not match the force, it matched the Internet.

That is to say, Murray knew that his forehand left a gap in the straight line, and Gao Wen might not miss it, so he continued to exert pressure with the net.

Now, Gao Wen needs to seize this gap.

Sprinting, running wildly, crossing the whole court, locking eyes on the tennis ball, carefully observing and judging, not only the rotation and landing point of the incoming ball, but also Murray's position, the space of the entire court is clear in the storm And presented three-dimensionally.

pedal!

With his left foot, an emergency brake was used to control his body, and he backhanded the racket early with both hands, but UU Reading www.uukanshu.com changed the way he held the racket at the moment of the shot.

Braking, one-handed, cutting, flicking—

lob.

In the clash of the bayonets, Gao Wen forcibly broke the deadlock of the confrontation, and with a fake move, he skillfully swayed past Murray.

It seemed that he was going to forcibly break through the net with a backhand slash, but in fact, he used a high ball to break the balance of the confrontation, using defense instead of offense, tearing a crack in Murray's blockade, and launched a counterattack.

attack. defense.

defense. attack.

The two players, Gao Wen and Murray, show the peak confrontation of contemporary tennis. Every touch and every shot of the ball may become the key to turning the situation around:

Substituting defense for offense, defending while attacking, switching from defense to offense, and the subtle changes in balance are elusive, truly interpreting the art of "everything changes in the blink of an eye".
