Match Point

Chapter 2098: Hard bridge, hard horse

"6:5".

The o2 stadium is completely silent, and everyone is staring with bated breath -

The only sound in the audience was the dull sound of Djokovic shooting the ball. The surge of adrenaline was burning in his blood vessels. He subconsciously clenched his fists and felt the hotness and slipperiness on his fingertips. Then I realized that my palms were soaked with sweat, but I was still out of breath.

The situation is as anxious as ever, and just like every previous "high moral battle", the outcome will never be known until the last moment.

Especially when you realize the importance of this point, which not only carries the outcome of a game, but also carries a watershed role in the era of giants, the emotion that mixes tension and excitement, uneasiness and excitement makes your mouth dry. His heartbeat accelerated, and there was a roar above his eardrums.

Djokovic needs to seize this opportunity to serve, otherwise...

After exactly eighteen shots, Djokovic finally served.

Second District.

inner angle.

Gawain, not surprised.

Like him, Djokovic also consciously broke through from Gao Wen's forehand. Although Djokovic's return distribution points were still more even, Djokovic hit the ball at the critical moment. Often tending to build advantage from forehand pressure, the two players' tactics collided head-on.

The key is that even if Gao Wen is mentally prepared, Djokovic's serving quality is good enough to suppress him.

Everything depends on on-the-spot reaction.

Gawain kicked off the ground and flew out, hitting the ball with his forehand.

Fortunately, the forehand position has withstood continuous hammering, and now the touch of the return service has been found, and the electric ball wraps the tennis ball along a straight line and pushes it into the deep area. Although Djokovic's serve quality is so good that Gao Wen There is no way to generate power, but the depth is maintained well.

boom. boom.

After two solid hitting sounds, one after the other, the tennis ball has returned to Djokovic, with less than half a step of space and a very fast speed.

Djokovic has not fully recovered his standing posture, cannot adjust his steps, and naturally cannot develop his swing, so he must take action subconsciously.

The upper body was slightly tilted back, and with a forehand skate, Djokovic made the right choice in the flash of lightning, and struck a diagonal forehand.

In the middle, a small diagonal line, aiming at the sideline, continuing to suppress the forehand, continuing to open up the angle, not giving Gao Wen any time to breathe, he must move quickly -

Run after the ball.

For Gao Wen, having the right footwork is not a problem, but the connection between these three shots is very close and smooth, and Gao Wen has no way to adjust.

Naturally, swing movements tend to fall into inertia.

To put it simply, if Gawain wanted to change the line, there would not be enough room to swing the racket. There is a high probability that he would habitually choose to hit the diagonal line.

Sound the alarm.

Before Gao Wen even finished the shot, his concentration was already tense, and he glanced at Djokovic out of the corner of his eye -

No internet access.

Originally, Gao Wen thought that Djokovic might go out of his way at the critical moment of the score, so he needed to stay alert when returning the ball.

But now it seems that Djokovic did not act according to Gawain's prediction, which means that Gawain has not been able to grasp the context of the situation for the time being.

Kick on the ground, swing the racket, hit.

Slash, of course, it was a slash. Gawain did not take the risk and forcefully change the line. Changing the line at such a weak opportunity was basically tantamount to acting recklessly with his eyes closed. This is not Gawain's style; he chose to use Djokovic's skateboard to hit the ball. The power of the ball, cleverly leveraging the force of the ball, was also slapped back by the skateboard.

However, this skateboarding forehand did not widen the angle, but made a fuss at the depth level, aiming at the blind spot of the bottom line triangle.

Adjusting while hitting the ball, Gao Wen's footsteps suddenly stopped and turned, and then he was already pulling to the left, quickly returning to his position, looking for a defensive position.

At this moment, Gawain noticed a detail—

Djokovic's position.

Players like Djokovic and Nadal don't mind retreating to open up space for defense, because their defensive abilities are indeed outstanding. Even if they lose their position and fall into the dilemma of passive defense, they can still use their defense to contain their opponents. And find the gaps to turn defense into offense.

Therefore, from the tenth game onwards, Gauvin has been using deep shots to push Djokovic back.

But this time, Djokovic didn't do that.

What does this mean?

The alarm sounded further.

Gao Wen was highly focused, observing as he moved, taking in all the movements of the entire court, and captured Djokovic's hitting action immediately.

One step forward, one grab for points.

Forehand attack.

The speed of the racket head is increased instantly.

straight line!

Djokovic launched a surprise attack without hesitation. Compared with the lightness and looseness of the skateboard shot, the power, speed and rhythm of this shot were comprehensively improved.

Moreover, it is not a wrap ball, but a flat hit, a powerful flat hit with completely released power, and continuous attacks with hard bridges and hard horses, showing the world's number one ability.

boom!

Along with the sound of hitting the ball, Gao Wen's footsteps moving towards the backhand position also accelerated.

This is not all.

Here, Gawain is moving quickly laterally.

On the other side, Djokovic is also making rapid progress.

At the first moment, Gao Wen caught the figure of Djokovic stepping up to apply pressure along with the hitting action -

Go online.

Sure enough, Djokovic still went online.

Now, all doubts have been explained, the alarm has been sounded, and the entire situation has been overturned in a flash of lightning.

The situation is completely different.

Fortunately, Gawain sounded the alarm early, and UU Reading www.uukankshu.com concentrated on it. As he moved across the field on Hot Wheels, he had a clear view of the situation in front of him.

Tap tap, tap tap tap.

-Tennis ball, straight, fast, heavy and flat.

- Djokovic was already approaching the net. He was so angry that he immediately blocked all the crossing routes in front of the net.

Although Gawain was on full alert, and although Gawain responded promptly, everything happened too fast. The turbulent changes and surging pressure were all compressed in less than a second, and the layers of impact and oppression were already spreading. Swallowing Gawain, overwhelming darkness descended.

…what to do?

Kick on the ground, sprint, run wildly.

However, it's still not enough.

There is a hidden secret in Djokovic's straight shot. There is almost no rebound height after landing. He makes full use of the characteristics of the indoor hard court to bring the flat shot to the extreme. The pressure after layer after layer completely traps the high player. Wen, didn't even leave much breathing room for Gawain.

Stumbling, stumbling.

Gawain realized that his options were very limited and there was not much space left to swing the racket. More importantly, he could not hesitate now.

then.

Backhand with both hands, one block, one pick, one rub.

In the blink of an eye, Gawain cut the racket into the gap between the tennis ball and the ground. His forearm and wrist pulled up the spin in the narrow space, creating as much time and space for friction as possible, feeling the stumbling friction between the tennis ball and the racket string. The sparks and rotation have been pulled up.

Lob shot.

The tennis ball flew high, high, like a rainbow-like parabola, thrillingly drilling into the lights all over the sky.

However-

Parabola, see the high but not the far.
