Embarrassment is embarrassment, but it does not mean that there is no chance.

Gao Wen's first reaction was quick and timely. He rushed out with a big stride, his eyes fixed on the tennis ball, and he used his backhand to lead the shot early.

Federer's return of serve is ingenious, but at the same time he sacrifices other things, such as speed, power, placement, etc., in order to break the deadlock.

At this time, you can see that the landing point of the return ball is only slightly beyond the bottom line of the service area; and this shot is a light push with the help of force, and the strength is insufficient. The tennis ball flies as if there is no propulsion and cannot continue to move forward.

This also leaves some room for Gawain to counterattack.

If he chooses to continue to stand on the baseline, then Gao Wen can choose to cut the long line and push the baseline deeper to create suppression, because the tennis ball cannot continue to fly forward and the force may miss the hitting point, and the effect is unsatisfactory.

If he chooses to cut through the baseline to hit the net, then Gao Wen can step forward in advance. Since the tennis ball can't fly, he can finish the ball by himself, and follow the forward momentum to hit the net, completely overturning this round.

At this time, the first thing to avoid is hesitation, and the second thing to avoid is not being able to go up.

What Federer laid out was not only a trap, but also a psychological calculation. As long as Gawain was a little tight or hesitant because of consecutive break points, Federer would not hesitate on the next shot.

The killing move is hidden but not released, just waiting.

So, what about Gawain?

Step laterally and step forward in advance.

There was no hesitation or hesitation. He was moving, observing and making decisions at the same time. His judgment was completed in a blink of an eye. His first reaction was extremely fast, and then he faced the position of the tennis ball amidst the bumps and turbulence.

Two-handed backhand, push block, impact, pressure, body weight and swing power are superimposed, and the head-on push is done with all the strength, and the shot is very firm -

It is not a complete swing, but using the body as a backing, straightening the forearm, and pushing the racket in a small range, so that the pace of continuous surfing can complete the follow-up push.

Snapped.

The sound of hitting the ball is not clear, but you can see the tennis ball flying low and fast, like a dragonfly scurrying out silently before a rainstorm.

Turn passivity into initiative.

The moment of hitting the ball also becomes an opportunity for him to get close to the net.

The tennis ball turned into a ray of light and shadow and crossed the net along a diagonal line toward Federer's backhand baseline. It was light but sharp, with a force of breaking the air.

tear.

You could vaguely hear the sound of the air tearing, and it also cut off the breath of everyone in the audience. No one expected Federer's return, and no one expected Gawain's response. A lot of information needed to be processed in the blink of an eye, and their brains needed to process it. The running speed is really not keeping up.

Across the net, the same goes for Federer.

One second ago, Gawain was in a panic.

The next second, Federer staggered.

After a sudden stop and turn, and a second start, Federer was already moving quickly laterally, but...

The speed is a bit unable to keep up. The most important thing is that I can't keep my knees straight, and I can't transmit the power of my calves to the ground.

Is this an early warning of low physical fitness, or Gawain's adaptable pressure?

Federer had no time to take care of it for the time being, and his attention was still completely focused on this point. As he stumbled, his movement speed was still forcibly increased. Before he reached the point, he began to quickly look at the entire field with his peripheral vision -

Where is Gawain?

Tread, tap, tap, tap.

There was a sound of treading waves in his ears. Federer lowered his center of gravity and sprinted quickly. In the blink of an eye, he was close to the position. He immediately judged the trap of this return ball. Gawain's downward pressure flat shot was very sufficient, and the tennis ball was like a drill. Ground machines generally drill into the ground, and the reflection angle after landing is small enough, compressing Federer's swing space.

Even the bounce ball is not easy to hit because the racket surface is not easy to control. It is too low to hit the net, too high to lift up, and Gao Wen is stuck in front of the net.

In the blink of an eye, Gawain was able to complete such an exquisite layout, which was really impressive.

If this were Go, Federer would definitely be able to find loopholes if he had enough time to think, and naturally there would be nothing great about it; but this is tennis, things are changing rapidly, and Federer's reaction time is less than a second.

what to do?

However, what is a desperate situation for ordinary people is not ordinary people.

While stumbling, Federer's upper body rushed out before his steps were in place. He raised the racket without triggering it, and stretched out the racket directly.

Are you preparing to hit a rebound ball?

It counts, but it doesn’t count.

Federer used a one-handed backhand, placed the racket in front of the trajectory of the tennis ball's reflection angle, waited for the tennis ball to rush over by itself, and then flicked his wrist.

Literally, in a row.

What kind of batting action is this?

It's nothing, moves that are not taught at all in professional tennis schools, and even irregular hitting moves that the coach will scold for making no sense. After all, not just anyone can become Federer.

And in front of him is Federer himself.

It may seem like a casual or even sloppy shot, but it wraps around the tennis ball and removes all the power and spin, leaving a straight line along a small flat arc.

Flying straight and close to the edge.

An understatement.

His skills shocked everyone.

Federer found a way through Gawain's forehand gap.

Gawain, moved.

One big stride, two big strides, sprinting sideways at full speed against the net, running faster and faster, but he immediately realized his predicament.

Because Federer's shot is still climbing slowly, rising slowly like climbing stairs, completing breakthroughs from three directions: the horizontal axis, the vertical axis and the vertical axis.

This is the difficulty of three-dimensional space~lightnovelpub.net~. It is difficult to reach the sky.

Gawain's speed has increased to the extreme, but looking at the tennis ball, it is like a star, close at hand but far away in the horizon. Moreover, this is in front of the net, where the reaction time and hitting space are compressed several times.

Move, kick, jump.

Gao Wen did not hesitate. He did not think about the option of retreating back to the bottom line to pursue, because he knew that Federer would definitely go online immediately, and also because he knew that if he pursued the bottom line, he might miss the only opportunity to control the situation.

He needs to take risks.

This time, even Gawain was not sure whether his adventure would succeed, maybe only a 10% success rate; but Gawain still jumped.

One kick, one jump, and then he was free from the shackles of gravity.

Soar into the sky.

Rise, keep rising.

When the body enters a state of weightlessness, none of this is familiar to it. The body, racket, position, etc. all become unfamiliar. How to exert force, how to stay in the air, and how to control are all based on instinct.

This also means that any hesitation, any unfamiliarity, or even a gap that you are not aware of may become an index of failure.

However, Gawain did not waver—

The eyes are clear, the mind is clear, and the will is firm.

Even at the moment of taking off, there is still time to observe the scene on the other side of the court, capture Federer's position, make a judgment on the three-dimensional space of the entire court, and then see Federer's figure.

He was about to go to the net, but at the moment of starting, he saw Gao Wen's movement, his steps stopped, and then he pulled horizontally and returned to the center of the court to prepare for defense.

Gawain knew that on a tactical level, he had the upper hand, and the next step was...
