Match Point

Chapter 231: on the edge of the cliff

Latest URL: First Game.

Gao Wen was broken by Kokinakis in two service games, and he only got a break point in the opponent's service game—unfortunately, he couldn't cash it out, and then after a torrential storm, he had not had time to breathe, and that was it Lost the first set since the spring season.

"6:2".

Of course, Gao Wen knew that his record of not losing a set would definitely not last forever, especially the switch from the NCAA to the professional arena was even more impossible, but he lost the first set in half a year by losing two serve games , this still made Gao Wen very dissatisfied with himself.

On the side of Kokinajisna, he stopped celebrating recklessly, hammered his chest like King Kong, spun and jumped on the spot, and let out a sharp wolf howl.

Even when he was returning to the players' dugout during the interval, he provoked Gao Wen with his eyes and said meaningfully:

"I knew it."

Because the player's rest area is right under the eyes of the referee, if Kokinakis swears, he is likely to be warned or even fined, so Kokinakis is still a little quiet, but such words, high The text can already be understood, the full version should be—

I knew you were bound to lose, I knew you were vulnerable, I knew you were in a mess.

That's about it.

Gawain could even see the burning anger in Corkinakis' eyes, revealing his white teeth, wishing to bite off Gawain's main artery.

What about Gao Wen?

Gao Wen completely ignored Kokinakis' provocation. The best way for a professional player to fight back is always to beat his opponent on the field, and then the world will be quiet.

After losing the first game, Gao Wen was neither depressed nor gave up. His brain was always running at high speed, looking for a solution.

Before today, Gao Wen had already predicted the difficulties. After all, professional competitions are still different, but the ferocity of the actual situation still exceeded expectations. The overall intensity and quality have risen by at least one or even two steps, and his game rhythm has also improved. Shocked by Kokinakis' unreasonable style of play, it was like being thrown into a front-loading washing machine.

At some point, the anaerobic mind literally goes blank, with no thoughts, just a shell mechanically hitting the ball on the court.

Soon, Gao Wen realized that this was very dangerous. In a tennis match, if you give up thinking, the game will be out of your control. Whether you are active or passive, the game will fall into the opponent's rhythm.

It can be seen from this that his shortcomings of lack of game experience have been exposed.

Of course, in the future, he will slowly find his rhythm in the face of more accidents and handling more situations.

Then, such a difficult game is the best learning opportunity. Not only is Gao Wen not frustrated, but he is also more focused. Putting aside winning or losing for the time being, he focuses on every point and every round of confrontation, learning from the game, Grow in the midst of tempering.

Even without waiting too long, Gao Wen's performance improved significantly after entering the second set.

The first step is still based on his own serve. He must keep his serve to have the opportunity to seek opportunities in Kokinakis's serve—

Just like the National Championship final against Geelong, he is now Geelong.

Gradually, Gao Wen gained a firm foothold, and the competition between points and games and between games has obviously risen to a higher level, but Kokinakis still relies on stronger comprehensive strength to gain a firm foothold, and can always win at critical moments. It was enough to suppress Gao Wen a little bit, even just a little bit.

In the first six rounds, both sides secured serve, and the two of them scored a total of 13 break points, but in the end, neither of them was able to break serve. Gao Wen, who was fighting to the death, and the imposing Kokinakis, both sides were mobilizing. State, trying to control the game.

Corkinakis, who had been stalemate until the seventh game and missed two more break points, did not miss the third. He broke Gao Wen's serve with an unreasonable whip-flashing forehand. Bring the score to a "5:3" lead, and finally ushered in his own serve to win the game.

Then, Gao Wen was really pushed to the edge of the cliff.

Such a scene is similar to the final match of the US Championship in every aspect, except that it is Gao Wen who is in desperation this time.

At that time, facing the all-out Jilong, Gao Wen stood firm with his superior performance, and "love-game" won the serve and won the game to win the championship.

Now, Gao Wen has become the one who launched the attack. He refused to compromise and even refused to surrender. He launched a fierce attack in Kokinakis' serve to win the game. However, Gao Wen also learned from the experience of Geelong at that time and did not fight blindly. Still maintain patience, looking for a fatal blow.

Therefore, Gao Wen not only did not allow Kokinakis to get the game point and match point easily, but also seized Kokinakis' psychological fluctuations eager for success, and grabbed three break points back and forth. The balance of the game There seems to be a subtle change.

The legendary Australian legend Rod-Laver (Rod-Laver) once said such a famous saying:

The most vulnerable time in a tennis game is when you are leading.

What is the reason?

Because the tennis game is a game and confrontation between the two sides, a contest of physical strength, energy, psychology and other levels. If there is a problem in any link, it is likely to be like a domino, and there will be problems in the entire game. Relaxing vigilance when leading or eager for success, or wanting to win and fear of losing, these mentality fluctuations may often become the key to breaking the balance.

In a tennis game, there are only four points in one game. One mistake, one fluctuation, and one game may be lost. Then the game is different.

Mr. Laver's career has spanned before and after the Open era. He has occupied the world number one for seven consecutive years, and completed the feat of winning the four Grand Slams twice in the same year. He is still the only one A man capable of such a feat.

It is precisely because of this that countless experts always believe that Laver is the greatest men's tennis player in history until the emergence of the Big Four.

Obviously ~lightnovelpub.net~ Mr. Laver has his own unique understanding of the tennis game.

Now, Kokinakis seems to be facing his "most vulnerable moment". His belief in defeating and humiliating Gawain ran through the whole game, but he wavered when he was close to victory, and then he was sharply pointed out by Gawain. caught.

The balance is broken.

However, Kokinakis still gritted his teeth and tried his best to fight the 35-shot round just now, saving the third break point. The two sides returned to the tie for the third time, and regained the advantage of the victory balance Pull it back slightly towards you.

Whoops, whoops.

The two players adjusted their breathing and both returned to the baseline, ready to enter the game again.

"40:40".

So, is it the fourth break point, or the first match point?
