"30:40".

The break point appeared. In Gao Wen's serve game, the O2 Arena was very lively. After all, the home crowd could not suppress their excitement.

However, Gawain did not panic—

This is a kind of confidence, confidence accumulated from consecutive victories.

Moreover, Gao Wen has slowly adapted to this "new version" of Murray. The reason why he adds quotation marks is because Murray only changed his strategy from a tactical level, but still cannot change his own essence.

In essence, Murray is not the type to end the game simply by violently attacking with one or two shots. His forehand and backhand do not have such ability; even if the rhythm is improved, the quality of the ball cannot be improved.

Of course, Gao Wen understands Murray's attempts. Just like his own Asian season last year, he always needs to try in difficult situations. Don't be afraid to make mistakes and find answers through different trials and errors. This is the correct scientific research spirit and also Find the right way to understand yourself.

But for Gawain, he is also adjusting, trying to disrupt Murray's rhythm and force Murray to make mistakes in areas he is not comfortable with. Today's Murray definitely made more unforced errors than usual.

The emergence of the break point was a result of Murray's outstanding performance and also a trial and error period for Gawain. Gawain was not surprised by this and naturally he was not panicked.

So, how should you hit break points?

Second District.

Close pressure backhand.

This is a flat shot, with a speed of 190 kilometers per hour, and the landing point is very precise, which just limits the swing space of Murray's backhand.

Murray, very awkward.

Usually, he is used to standing about two to two and a half meters from the baseline; today, he took half a step forward and got within two meters to increase the sense of pressure.

Naturally, the swing space is also compressed.

In this situation, you can gain some advantages when facing serves from the corners at both ends; but when facing close and chasing serves, you will be squeezed.

There are pros and cons.

Since the start of the match, this is Gao Wen's third serve game. Gao Wen is still groping, adjusting and testing, and has not been anxious to focus on chasing and serving. Therefore, Murray's receiving and serving strategy has been performing well.

but!

Sudden?

Although Murray also expected that Gao Wen would inevitably make adjustments at the break point; such a high-quality first serve still restricted Murray's adjustments.

One head, one head.

Murray leaned back with his racket on his upper body and hit a shot in a small area. At this time, he showed his ability as one of the best return players today. He only relied on the strength of his forearm and wrist to hit a small shot. The line fell near the sideline of Gawain's backhand position, and the angle was torn apart.

Strength, average.

Speed, average.

Spin and line, outstanding.

In one move, Gao Wen's footsteps were pulled out of the singles line. This was also the key to Murray's ability to force a break point in this game, high-quality return service.

Gawain, a little surprised, but calm in the face of danger.

tread!

With a big stride, Gao Wen pulled his body out of the singles line and continued to charge forward. He used his two-handed backhand to grab the shot early, but paused before taking the shot, shook Murray, and then pulled up a strong topspin. .

slash.

Topspin.

This is unreasonable.

Gao Wen used a fake move to shake Murray's center of gravity, and then he should match the ball with a flat shot, especially a straight or diagonal "inside-out" to aim for the winning point; however, Gao Wen chose to return the ball with strong topspin. This was not for the sake of success. Will Murray win some time to adjust?

What kind of tactic is this to destroy the Great Wall?

Murray was equally confused.

Shaking, starting, and conditioned reflexes, the center of gravity of the body has switched three times in just a moment. But with full concentration and complete trust in his body's reaction, he can keep up with the rhythm smoothly.

With one misalignment, Murray has already moved towards the backhand position again.

It turns out-

Chance.

I am not embarrassed, but I still have room for adjustment. A strong topspin leaves enough room for movement and swing, which is definitely an unexpected surprise.

Murray was not happy, because he knew Gao Wen, and Gao Wen would not make such a mistake. This was a trap, digging a hole waiting for his opponent to jump in; but how should he respond, simply push it back? Or create a trap to fight back in kind?

Thoughts surged in my mind.

It is unbelievable that in just a short moment, so many thoughts can arise in my mind, one after another swarming up and occupying my brain.

No, he needs to trust his instincts, he needs to increase his speed and compress his rhythm.

Therefore, Murray immediately took the shot and stepped forward, trying to grab the rising point.

Tennis, however, wasn't there yet.

From the naked eye, there is no difference at all, and there is no time difference; but standing on the court, Murray seems to have been waiting for a century.

He tried his best not to let his thoughts wander, and tried his best to focus on speeding up, but he still waited too long before swinging the racket. He couldn't wait to shoot, and he caught the rising point, even too early, but the angle of the racket did not follow. To make a change, just raise your hand and wave—

Well. ah. Ahhhh!

Murray is still exerting his strength, hoping to end the round on this shot as much as possible. He needs a winning point.

But the only response he received was the muffled sound of the tennis ball hitting the net.

Crash.

A sea of ​​whitecaps.

"Ah...Murray grabbed the ball a little too aggressively. He hit the ball too early and it went directly to the net. Murray failed to pull up the parabola of the return ball."

"It was an unforced error and Murray easily handed the point to Gawain. It was a break point that could have been worth a fortune to Murray."

"A slightly sloppy mistake."

Even the commentator has not yet been able to see the change in rhythm control between Gawain and Murray~lightnovelpub.net~Murray is grabbing, Gawain is dragging, the hitting point is earlier and slower, and the misalignment is different. Quietly changing the game.

In the commentator's opinion, Murray was too impatient when he saw the opportunity; but in fact, this was Gawain's strategy. The only surprise was that he did not expect Murray to hit the net as soon as he took the shot, which was too fast. .

Sure enough, Murray is still not very stable now, and there are different deviations in his entire control. Whether it is breaking the routine or returning to the routine, Murray's shot selection has some problems.

This is Gawain's opportunity.

Facing the crisis of break point, Gao Wen keenly captured the key to the game. This is an additional gain worth thousands of dollars.

Gawain did not celebrate wildly, after all, it was the opponent's mistake, and he did not even make a fist; but he kept watching Murray's subsequent reaction.

The tense atmosphere of the game quietly changed.

Opposite the stadium.

Murray, looking up at the sky—

A trap, he knew it was a trap, but he foolishly stepped into it anyway. Thinking too much won't work, and thinking too little won't work either.

Murray was a little irritated. He looked at his player box again, grumbling and complaining, his dissatisfaction palpable.

However, when he was waiting to return to the bottom line again, Murray had returned to normal and regained his composure, as if the complaint just now was just a performance and a smoke bomb.

So, is it really a smoke bomb?

Gawain is also ready for the first area.

"40:40".
