Chapter 320: Strong counterattack

Text 320 Strong Counterattack

"Good job."

Sampras clenched his fist secretly and did not celebrate. On the one hand, he respected Isner, who is a compatriot no matter what; The winner of the four Grand Slam trophies still maintains a steady state of mind.

Judging from the first game, Gao Wen still lacks the experience of major competitions, and he also lacks the experience of facing top players. It obviously took some time to find his own rhythm of the game; of course, the same is true for Isner, because He was unfamiliar, so he was not fully prepared for the sudden impact of the tiebreaker.

Looking at the entire first set, the key is still that Gao Wen played calmly and wittily in the tie-break, which broke the balance, but the next game should be more difficult. Isner will not be easily swayed, don't forget, this It is the player who can force Nadal, the king of clay, into a five-set battle at the French Open.

But when Sampras saw Gawain's movements, he nodded slightly—

Although he lacks experience, Gao Wen's advantage lies in his clear mind. Gao Wen firmly remembered all the experience taught by Sampras.

Replenishing energy is a link that requires experience and judgment, because eating bananas or energy bars does not work immediately, and it takes time to digest and absorb.

Of course, athletes are in a state of intense exercise and cannot eat too much in one go, otherwise they may vomit directly, so this needs to be supplemented in advance and at a certain rhythm.

Especially New York.

Because the summer in New York is stuffy and humid. Although the temperature is not as good as the Australian Open, the US Open is indeed famous for its sweltering heat. The body will sweat a lot, so it is necessary to pay attention to hydration at all times, which requires players to pay more attention to themselves. physical condition.

Top existences like the Big Four will complete the supplement ahead of time based on the intensity of the game and their physical condition, looking at the time point.

But most players tend to be overly immersed in the game, and forget it if they don’t pay attention, and the coach beside him doesn’t know the physical condition of the players, so he can’t remind them, so sometimes the body consumes a lot, and it’s long overdue to replenish energy distressed situation.

Such details are also part of the content of the game.

Gao Wen didn't have any experience in the best-of-five-set Grand Slam matches. Before, they were all best-of-three sets, so Sampras' experience came into play. He told Gao Wen in advance when to replenish his energy and what to do. It's time to calm down and feel your physical condition.

Now, Gao Wen is doing the same.

This also meant that Gao Wen didn't get carried away just because of the victory in the first set. His brain was still clear, and he was ready for the follow-up duel.

This is a good thing.

Sampras looked at Gao Wen on the court and became more and more satisfied.

During the break, both Gao Wen and Isner changed into brand new jerseys. The scorching first set made both of them drenched, as if they had been fished out of water. The wet jerseys It has already affected the body muscles to perform movements.

Moreover, Isner also has a habit of "drying" his hats, and then you can see a small row of hats drying on the seats in the players' dugout, like a pulsatilla squatting on a telegraph pole , because he must wear a hat, and it cannot be a wet hat, so he will carry a bunch of hats to replace, and then dry the hats at any time during the game, and then continue to replace them.

One hundred and twenty seconds later, the second set began.

Because Gao Wen served first in the tie-break of the first set, so Isner served first in the second set.

After a short break, both players regained their focus, temporarily forgetting the outcome of the first set, and when the second set started, everything was brand new.

Isner was not affected by the loss of the tie-break in the first set at all. He regained his serve feeling at the beginning of the game, and simply and neatly sent four consecutive ACE balls. After 48 seconds, he won the first game with "love-game". The first serve of the second set.

Throughout the whole process, Gao Wen didn't touch the ball at all.

Isner declared his determination in such a way that the loss of the first set would not bring a blow, not only would it not, but it would stimulate his fighting spirit, he was ready to fight.

Next, Isner's performance also proved this point.

In Gawain's serve, Isner ran more aggressively and returned the ball more carefully. Even some hopeless defenses would still run to the end, showing his determination as much as possible. In this way, Continuously exerting pressure on Gao Wen, forcing Gao Wen's offensive quality to be further improved.

Suppression and countermeasures, confrontation and resistance, the conversion of advantages and disadvantages in the tennis game is always flowing.

Then, the turning point of this set happened in the sixth game.

The quality of Gao Wen's serve has fluctuated slightly. The high temperature in New York is strong, and Gao Wen's sweating can be clearly felt. Although there is no decline in physical strength, the feeling of returning the ball is still more or less affected. , and then Isner bit the score and created a chance.

After going through four equal points and missing two break points, Isner finally held off Gawain's two forehand attacks in a row on the third break point, and then, in an extremely passive situation, crossed the entire court to charge Backhand to himself, but when the center of gravity of the body is about to lose balance~lightnovelpub.net~ makes an unexpected choice——

The moon scimitar usually penetrates the court directly and draws a hole.

Accident!

Very surprised!

Unexpectedly, Isner's backhand was able to launch a counterattack in an extremely passive situation, and it was even more surprising that Isner gave up the diagonal line and attacked the straight line.

Gao Wen failed to accurately predict the route, and he realized that he could not catch up as soon as he started walking.

Fairy Ball!

Even Zhan Jun and Hu Litao applauded Isner's flash of inspiration, and the most beautiful return of the ball appeared at the most important moment.

Then, the game finally had its first break of serve, which came from Isner breaking Gawain's serve.

Although the fluctuations in Gao Wen's performance were part of the reason, Isner's fairy ball really caught Gao Wen by surprise, and he could only watch the ball and sigh.
