Match Point

Chapter 416: good condition

Kei Nishikori, like Gao Wen, uses two-handed backhands, but Kei Nishikori has a special skill in his backhand:

In the situation where the stance is under pressure but refuses to retreat and lose position, that is, it is necessary to hit a rebound ball. Kei Nishikori can complete this shot with both forehand and backhand, and he will choose to hold the racquet with one hand and rely on the wrist With a slight twitch of the muscles, a light and flexible change of line is completed.

This stunt, only Federer in the entire tour can often play it, but even Federer rarely changes the line when hitting the rebound, but Kei Nishikori has this ability-and can copy and paste Repeated use can even guarantee a certain success rate.

This is the talent of touch, and there is also the talent of interpreting the three-dimensional space of the entire court.

On Gao Wen's third break point in the first serve game, Kei Nishikori was extremely passive, and with one hand backhanded, he drew a stunning straight line.

Gao Wen didn't expect it at all, he just rushed to the diagonal position to defend, but was caught off guard by Kei Nishikori.

He lost the first serve in the opening game.

Gao Wen was a little annoyed, not because his serve was broken, but because his batting route layout was not careful enough, and his prediction was wrong.

He needs to be more careful.

At the end of the first game, the field is switched, and then the positions of the two players are switched.

In Kei Nishikori's first serve game, Gao Wen was also very proactive—

Kei Nishikori wasn't the only one who was ready for this match.

first point.

In the first zone, Kei Nishikori served an outside corner. Due to limitations of height and strength, his serve speed has not been fast. The speed of a serve is about 118 miles (190 kilometers) per hour, which is basically the average speed of his best state. , if the physical strength declines, the speed will often drop rapidly.

Moreover, the most important thing is that compared to pure speed, Kei Nishikori's serve has limited tail force and ball quality, which is the biggest factor limiting the threat of serving.

Kei Nishikori also understands this point, so he will choose to tear the angle of the serve more, try to avoid improper control of the close-up serve and go straight into the tiger's mouth-the close-up serve is more used as a secret weapon to disrupt the opponent's pre-planning. Judgmental tactical use.

It can be seen from the outer corner at this time that the changing line that is pressed on the outside of the serving line bounces high and high, trying to use the rebound height of the landing to limit the hitting position.

But Gawain's height of 193 centimeters is not afraid of this at all.

One step, one swing, the movement of the conditioned reflex is very smooth. When you raise your hand, you can complete a full forehand stroke, and use the power of the stroke to blast the tennis ball back towards the diagonal.

boom!

90 mph (145 km)!

Immediately on the speedometer, you can see Gao Wen's return speed, which is almost comparable to Kei Nishikori's second shot, hitting back like a cannonball.

Kei Nishikori's return speed was a little slower after the serve, and he stretched his forehand towards the big triangle on the baseline in a panic. He had no time to swing his racket, so he could only barely block a beat, and then used his wrist movements to knock Gao Wen's shot back. The power of the ball is completely removed.

If it was another player, there would basically be no next shot for the ball, and it might be a direct return to the ace, because Gao Wen's racket head was so fast that there was basically no reaction time left for the speed of the return; but Nishikori Gui is relying on the ability of conditioned reflex to touch tennis.

And also completed the return of the ball!

slowly. long.

Seeing the tennis ball drawing a shallow arc like a feather, Gawain immediately started to rush over.

However!

straight line! Nishikori Kei cut a straight line with his touch.

small ball! The unloaded force makes the tennis ball seem to almost stand still, flying over the net and then falling immediately.

Gao Wen's speed increased to the extreme, crossing the diagonal line of the court, barely catching up, but after the tennis ball hit the ground, there was almost no bouncing power, which also made Gao Wen have no room to hit the ball, and it already formed two jumps when it touched the ball.

pretty!

With a backhand and a forehand, Kei Nishikori really showed a fiery touch, and some seemingly impossible shots were actually staged in front of his eyes, initially showing his peak state of perfection at the US Open this year.

Gao Wen also gave applause for Kei Nishikori's shot. This kind of inspiration is indeed worthy of admiration.

But why do you say that tennis games don't need to be limited to one point?

It is because there are four points in a tennis game, and you must show four wonderful performances to win the next game. If you lose confidence because of a wonderful point, then the game will be out of your control.

second point.

Gao Wen immediately changed his way of catching the ball, cutting a shot very, very unexpectedly, but instead consciously slowed down his batting rhythm.

Many players who are not so strong and unable to form a suppression will use tactical cutting to change the rhythm when facing Kei Nishikori. Because Kei Nishikori's active force is not very threatening, he can often win some initiative for himself. .

But the number of times gradually increased, and Nishikori also found a way. He would not take the initiative to exert force, but more actively speed up, just like at this time——

Kei Nishikori immediately speeded up, stepped forward to enter the bottom line, hit the rising point, raised his hand and hit the tennis back flat, and the rhythm of the whole round immediately improved to a higher level.

As a result, this time, Gao Wen's prediction was accurate in advance, and he waited in the backhand position. He used his strength to hit the backhand with both hands and also increased his speed, hitting a backhand in a straight line.

Faster than faster!

boom!

Score directly!

Kei Nishikori couldn't keep up with his footsteps, and he realized that he had been fooled when he noticed Gao Wen's moving route.

It turned out that cutting and returning the serve was a trap created by Gao Wen. He deliberately used cutting to show his weakness, so that Kei Nishikori, who was weak in serving, thought that he had escaped the passive situation of the first shot after the serve, and couldn't wait to improve his rhythm. Instead, it was because of the speed-up shot line choice Nothing new, and was caught by Gao Wen.

Just at the beginning, Gao Wen has already entered the "experimental" stage—

This game is different from any previous game at the US Open this year, because Kei Nishikori himself is not a powerful player~lightnovelpub.net~ The whole batting rhythm and strength are different, and Burley, who was born on clay, is different. It was also different, Gao Wen had to re-adapt to the rhythm of the game, and Kei Nishikori's impact was not so obvious, so Gao Wen returned to the mode he was most familiar with.

Experiment with shots.

Constantly using different batting combinations to test the opponent's response plan, and even some changes made no sense at all, but Gao Wen did it like this, so that Kei Nishikori couldn't figure it out.

What's more, he still dared to do this when Gao Wen lost his first serve.

Including the narrator, the audience, and Kei Nishikori, everyone is full of question marks:

Gao Wen, what's wrong? Are you out of whack?

Even Agassi, who appeared in the player's box again, was confused. He looked at his old friend, but Sampras looked like he was sitting on the Diaoyutai, "No hurry, no hurry, just keep reading and you'll know."

Agassi:? ? ?
