Chapter 1800: hunter trap

Latest website: Zverev Jr. is full of confidence and fighting spirit, and anyone can see it.

For this young player, the most important significance is that he has won two games.

Although Gao Wen didn't say it, the news media has been repeatedly emphasizing the "highest consumption" and whipping corpses over and over again, lest people will not remember.

Generally speaking, shame may have two effects, one is motivation, reminding oneself of the fiasco of the past, and becomes the driving force for oneself to reverse the situation; the other is anger, I don’t want to mention it at all, I just want to forget it completely, pretend That memory doesn't exist, it never happened.

For a proud man like Zverev Jr., it is the latter.

As a result, the media's bluffing was in his throat, and Zverev Jr. was trying to forget this incident, but he was forced to wake up his memory by looking around.

Burning with anger.

To some extent, this is one of the underlying reasons why Zverev Jr. started more conservatively and cautiously, whether he realized it or not.

Now, having kept two serve games in a row, I feel at ease when I have won confidence. In a grand slam match of best of five sets, Zverev Jr. does not think he will lose seventeen games in a row. It means that the curse of "highest consumption" can finally become history after tonight.

At the same time, he also used this period of time to gradually adapt to the feeling of night games at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Maybe it was not enough, but he had already made a start. In his opinion, Gawain's carelessness gave him enough room to breathe and adapt. Time, now that he's on his feet.

This is a feat!

No wonder, during the break between games, you can clearly feel the joy and joy of Zverev Jr., that kind of excitement, bursting out from the inside out.

Next, Zverev Jr. was ready to launch an offensive in his familiar way.

Therefore, before the referee announced the end of the inter-game break, Zverev Jr. couldn't wait to appear on the stage, his fighting spirit was burning.

On the other side, Gao Wen was still unhurried, step-by-step, completed rest adjustments according to his own rhythm, and made full use of the rest time between rounds to organize his thoughts. He didn't stand up until the referee announced that the time was up, and stepped onto the field with a racket. , ready to serve.

Professionals should be able to see—

Zverev Jr. was following his own plan, laying traps and preparing for battle.

Similarly, Gao Wen also entered the game according to his own ideas.

Both of them are planning and playing games, but who is the hunter and who is the prey?

In the fourth game, Gao Wen served.

At this time, there were some subtle changes in the battle situation.

Zverev Jr. started to attack, and the number of offensive goals on both sides of the forehand and backhand gradually began to increase; but overall, the style of the game has not changed, not only the layout is required, but the subconscious transition ball still exists. Smooth, two beats at most, no continuation.

For Gao Wen, unless it is a violent attack full of impact like Nadal or Wawrinka, it is not difficult to withstand the attack of two shots and three shots. You just need to defend well and stay focused. Zverev Jr. is not smooth and unstable The offensive has no way to break the balance of confrontation.

After "30:30", Gao Wen scored two consecutive points and successfully secured the serve.

"2:2".

From this round alone, it was still lackluster. There was no particularly exciting round. Zverev Jr.'s offensive was far from exciting, and Gao Wen's defensive counterattack did not bring out the bottom of the box, which caused a small disturbance. After that, it returned to calm in a blink of an eye, and it was still on the normal track.

But Gao Wen was different, he keenly sensed the changes.

Judging from the score level, the game progress level, and the confrontation level, etc., the four games have been played for more than 15 minutes. Zverev Jr. should think that he has adapted to the field and entered the state, so he is ready to launch The offense was just a test of the waters.

So, how should Gawain adjust?

In the fifth game, attack, counterattack, and suppress the opponent?

No, this is not Gawain's style; moreover, Gawain's vision is more long-term, he needs to make adjustments, but he will not change his layout.

Sometimes, the adjustment does not necessarily mean that the forehand attack is sharper or the choice of hitting line is more risky, and the details can also be seen.

Especially in the first week of the Grand Slam, the improvement of the state requires a slow climbing process to ensure that you can usher in the peak state in the second week. Then the adjustments in the game can better demonstrate the profound skills and understanding of tennis. .

This is the real master.

Gao Wen believes that this game—from his return from injury to Zverev's playing style—is very suitable for him to make some new attempts.

While not changing his tactical layout in the first set and continuing to adapt physically to the game, Gao Wen made some choices based on Zverev Jr.

In the fifth game, you can try it out. Anyway, this is Zverev's serve game, and it doesn't matter even if the attempt fails.

"Highest consumption"?

This matter has never been Gao Wen's focus.

a district.

One shot.

Serving from the inner corner at a speed of 195 kilometers per hour, Zverev Jr. aimed at Gawain's backhand and put pressure on it.

In the past, players would often like to break through from Gao Wen's forehand. After all, the stability and strength of Gao Wen's backhand has become an iconic weapon.

But judging from today's game, in the opening stage, Zverev Jr. suppressed Gao Wen's backhand serve and hit the ball significantly increased. It was clear at a glance that this was the idea of ​​the coaching team. They all watched the Rogers Cup game and also Knowing that Gao Wen's backhand will be relatively unstable after returning from injury.

In Zverev Jr.'s third serve, the first point was no exception.

Gao Wen kicked his legs, prepared in advance, and his conditioned reflexes were so fast that he backhanded his hands to meet him. Following the direction of body movement, he used his body weight and movement inertia to push forward—

Whoosh.

The tennis ball rushed towards Zverev's forehand quickly and flatly along the direction of the backslash.

The impact of this baseball home run was so fast and fast that Zverev Jr. had not had time to recover after finishing his serve. shoot.

Immediately afterwards, it was discovered that Gao Wen's return ball landed quite deep, and Zverev Jr. did not have much room to swing the racket, so naturally it was difficult to control the parabola.

Tennis, UU reading www.uukanshu.com raised.

But the speed was so fast that Gao Wen didn't have a chance to hit the net. Like a shooting star, he crossed the net high and fell quickly towards the bottom line.

Gao Wen made continuous adjustments in small steps, adjusted his center of gravity with a series of dizzying steps, switched from the backhand position to the forehand position, and the forehand led the shot early, like a fort set up.

Little Zverev's heart contracted suddenly, he braked, stopped and turned suddenly, and his body was already running towards the left side, and his speed instantly increased to the extreme.

Despite his tall stature, Zverev Jr. moved very fast, and an afterimage could be seen across the field in the blink of an eye.

However!

Gao Wen raised his forehand high, lowered it lightly, and changed the way he gripped the racket just as he was about to make a shot—

small ball.

It's a small ball.
