Match Point

Chapter 1826: 1 tenacity

—Uncomfortable, still uncomfortable.

A sprained ankle is actually not serious, but compared to the injury itself, the interruption of the entire state is the most direct impact.

First of all, I have some taboos in my heart and worry that I will be injured again. When moving or hitting the ball, I will inevitably be cautious, and my movements will naturally not be in place.

Secondly, the ankles are wrapped like rice dumplings, and the contact between the entire footstep and the ground is different. There are even some high and low feet, and the condition is also different.

Thirdly, after the rhythm, context, and track of the entire game are disrupted, you must regain your focus in a short period of time, which is not that easy.

Injuries are injuries, and the impact that unfolds around the injury is equally fatal.

The sixth game of the second set.

"15:30".

During this period of time, Gao Wen had fallen into a small slump and faced some difficulties. Now his state and concentration have been disrupted, making the game even more difficult.

Although Bellucic also had some distractions and made some low-level mistakes, he still stabilized his mind and continued to maintain a stable output at a relatively stable level. He continued to create opportunities and tried to seize them. In this US Open, which is full of variables, he continued to Refresh your best performance.

After missing two consecutive break points, Bellucic still got the third break point through a 34-shot round, and relied on Gao Wen to hit the net with a two-handed backhand.

"1:5".

In the second set, Bellucic got his second break of serve. Although it was a bit unexpected, Bellucic's stable performance still seized the opportunity.

The score was far ahead; and after holding his next serve in one go, Bellucic won the second set.

Immediately afterwards, at the beginning of the third set, Gao Wen was still in a sluggish state and was still unable to regain the rhythm of the game. Bellucic continued to produce steadily.

After breaking serve first and then holding serve, the score was widened again in the blink of an eye.

"4:6", "6:1", "2:0".

Bellucic is in front and Gawain is in the back.

Such a score was really shocking, and it was hard to believe what I was witnessing.

Since the "2:1" in the second set, Bellucic has played six consecutive games and sent an invisible egg.

Although an unexpected situation occurred during the process, and injuries played the role of a turning point; this kind of game process was still something that people did not expect before the game.

"…The situation is still difficult."

"Judging from the past four games, although we cannot determine the condition of the sprain, how much pain there is now, whether the ankle can move normally, etc., it can be clearly seen that the impact of the thick wrapping of the ankle is objective. of."

"Not only moving and hitting the ball, Gao Wen's perception of the entire ball touch, ground support, control of emergency stops and turns, judgment of the shot, etc. also all have subtle changes. A change in one link will lead to all his Changes in links.”

"Actually, Gao Wen has been adjusting, trying, and changing, but today's competition environment did not help."

"Gaowen has sweated more in these four games than in the previous one and a half games. It is not only hot, but also stuffy. This is very severe on physical and energy consumption."

well.

Zhan Jun sighed secretly, but did not show it on the surface. He cheered up and continued to stick to his work.

"But there is no doubt that Gawain is not ready to surrender. He is still thinking about how to turn the situation around in such a situation."

"As the game progresses, Gao Wen will gradually adapt to the condition of his ankle. I hope the sprain will not be too serious and will not cause more accidents."

"The rest is a battle of wills and spirit."

However-

Easier said than done.

The actual situation is far more difficult than imagined.

tread!

With one step, you can feel the reaction force from the cement floor coming like a stormy sea from the collision of strength and strength.

…ah.

Gawain raised his right foot to avoid further contact between the ankle and the ground. Jin Ji jumped forward a few steps independently, then put his right foot down again, and continued to take a few steps forward to cushion the force, but the ball was still Can't catch up.

"15:40".

The referee's voice announcing the score came to his ears, but Gao Wen had no time to worry about it at this time. He stood in front of the bottom line board with his back to the court, supporting the advertising board with his head, breathing heavily and sweating like rain. , billowing steam surged up, swallowing him completely in the blink of an eye.

Damn it!

My chest is rising and falling violently like a bellows, but I still can't feel much oxygen. What's going in and out is waves of heat. Every pore in my body is flowing with magma, that kind of dullness and heat, that kind of burning and disintegration. , the body is teetering on the edge of disintegration and destruction.

Damn **** damn!

In this rare moment, Gawain secretly cursed.

Angry, furious.

But it was precisely this burning anger that allowed Gawain to regain his composure—

After being injured just now, Gao Wen also admitted that he is just an ordinary person. He can be impatient, depressed and frustrated. Being injured for the second time in a short period of time is more depressing than the prospect of defending his title. , panicked but also a little timid, the nightmare from the past was causing trouble in my mind again.

Returning to the game, Gao Wen tried to quickly grasp the rhythm and recover quickly, but haste made waste, and he was out of control for a short period of time.

In the semifinals of the US Open last year, when Gao Wen played against Djokovic, there was a short trough in the middle. He lost seven games in a row and was completely unable to withstand the game.

Now I feel like this again. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

I haven’t felt this kind of frustration and powerlessness for a whole year. The problem is that Belucic is not Djokovic. The pressure brought by Belucic is not that great, but Gao Wen is still in trouble. This situation made Gawain even more depressed and very dissatisfied with himself.

Until now.

In fact, there is still some pain in the ankle, and the impact of the sprain is still there, but once you enter the game and start running, that little feeling disappears, even if you don't take painkillers.

But I just can't get rid of the whole situation... I feel aggrieved, depressed and angry.

The sweltering heat and restlessness at Arthur Ashe Stadium didn't help either. The scorching heat that filled the entire stadium was equivalent to a mountain of fire.

In the third set, the game score was "0:2"; the minor score was "15:40".

If we lose this game again, we will not only be "0:3" behind in the third set, but also lose two service games. This set will probably be difficult as well.

Damn it!

Angry to the extreme, the turbulent and strong emotions pulled Gawain back to the ground, and his brain calmed down instantly.

No more impatience. No more anxiety. No more panic.

Anyway, now that the matter is over, he has no way out and nothing to lose, right?

Instead of getting angry with yourself, getting angry with injuries, getting angry with unexpected situations, it is better to calm down -

Or, simply withdraw from the game to avoid worsening of the injury.

Either stay focused and regain your form, otherwise you keep grinding on the court. What's the point of such a game?

He took a deep breath and took another deep breath. Although the oxygen entering his lungs was really not enough, and the hot and scorching air rolling in his chest did not help, Gawain still regained some sense and pulled himself back.

The fight goes on, the fight goes on, right?
