Match Point

Chapter 459: nerve test

"Match Point(

The air was suffocatingly hot.

Previously, Gao Wen saved two consecutive set points and pulled back the suspense of the third set with his unparalleled performance; later, Djokovic saved three consecutive set points, showing the world's number one big heart at the critical moment to continue the tie-break The outcome of the suspense, the ownership of the third set is still an unknown.

Arthur Ashe stadium has lost its mind.

Gao Wen could feel the overwhelming pressure, whether it was Djokovic's winning point or Gao Wen's mistake, the audience would cheer unbelievably, showing that they cheered for Djokovic's victory with direct actions Strong will, as if the person facing Gao Wen's ball net is not alone.

This feeling seems to have returned to the first round against Isner, but there were not so many spectators in the first round, and the whole atmosphere felt different.

Today, at this time, this is the most important thing.

"6:5", even though Gao Wen was still leading by a small point, and his serving point was next, but there was only one left in the blink of an eye after four consecutive counts. In the marathon, it has always been emphasized that the leader must bear tremendous pressure, and is always worried about the overtake and impact of the chaser.

call…

Gao Wen let out a long breath. He knew that this was a test for himself, but he was in a state of trembling even though he was holding the inventory in his hand. Instead, Djokovic let go of his hands and feet, and the sharp pressure against the spine seemed to be able to break through at any time. For his own defense, he needs to perform better.

One shot, off the net.

It can be clearly felt that Gao Wen's muscles are slightly tense. This time he hit the ball a little earlier, and as a result, the serve went directly to the net.

"Ho **** ho ho!"

"Ahhh!"

Cheers and applause surged at the scene. They applauded Gao Wen's first serve error, obviously not to encourage Gao Wen "it doesn't matter, just serve the second serve well", but because Djokovic got the second serve. Given the opportunity, the audience no longer had the leisure to cheer for the dark horse's strike. They stood clearly on Djokovic's side, expecting Djokovic to continue to reverse.

The pressure is overwhelming.

In the studio, Zhan Jun couldn't help but secretly sweat for Gao Wen.

"...This is a test that every player must undergo on the road to growth. Federer and Djokovic have all gone through this process. Bao Jianfeng is honed by himself. As long as he can withstand such pressure, players The nerves will be more resilient."

"We can only expect this 19-year-old young player to focus on himself and not lose his focus due to external interference."

But Zhan Jun and Hu Litao are not confident either.

Due to the noise interference from the Arthur Ashe Stadium, the referee warned twice, and the noise gradually subsided. However, the rhythm of the interval between Gawain's first serve and the second serve was disrupted, so that Gawain had to readjust. Breathe, hit the ball again.

The whole rhythm is out of order.

Gao Wen was really fighting against the whole world alone, which was really too difficult.

call…

Gao Wen stood on the bottom line, adjusted his breathing, felt the temperature of the sun falling on the surface of the skin, the heat of the sweat slowly sliding down, and the breeze, his whole mind was completely concentrated, and then he started to shoot the ball.

Snapped. Snapped. Snapped.

Gao Wen didn't hesitate, and continued to serve at his usual pace.

Throw the ball! Kick off! Turn! swing!

hit the ball.

Close to the forehand, the speed of the serve was 108 miles (175 kilometers) per hour. Obviously, Gao Wen still inevitably suffered some interference, so he slowed down the speed of the serve to avoid mistakes in the second serve.

But Gawain also hides the spin in his serve, spinning outward away from Djokovic's body.

This is an unconventional approach.

Generally speaking, the close body is paired with internal rotation, because the tactical intention is to squeeze the stance; the outer corner or inner corner is paired with outer rotation, further away from the body.

Now Gao Wen is close body and external rotation, what kind of strange combination is this?

Djokovic did not expect it at all. His footsteps were already in place, and he adjusted the hitting position according to the trajectory of the close-up serve. However, he found that the tennis ball was going out, which immediately made Djokovic hit the ball. There is a slight deviation in the judgment of the point.

Subconsciously, Djokovic wrapped the ball habitually, did not risk hitting the ball, but wrapped the tennis ball with a soft touch and sent it back.

The serve was not able to launch an attack.

Facing Djokovic's serve from deep in the middle, Gao Wen hit a slash lightly with both hands backhand, tearing the angle apart, trying to break Djokovic's defensive position with a skateboard shot.

But in the inventory, Djokovic's attention is highly concentrated, the rate of arrival is very fast, and the return of the two-handed backhand is very solid and sent back.

"Backhand VS Backhand", the two confronted back and forth on the backhand slash.

Then Gao Wen took the lead in changing the line, backhanding the straight line with both hands!

But Djokovic has been guarding against this line, moving laterally as if stepping on hot wheels, not only successfully defending in place, but also hitting a super diagonal attack with a forehand, accurately oppressing In the dead corner of the big triangle on the bottom line, Gao Wen fell into a passive position.

Gao Wen is facing a crisis.

In an extremely difficult situation, Gao Wen was forced to defend.

"Forehand VS Forehand", the two confronted forehand for four more rounds, and both of them were pursuing changes, either aiming at the sideline to tear the angle, or aiming at the bottom line to press the landing point, through the change of hitting technique To subvert the situation, but the handling of the two players is very delicate and in place, neither of them can open the situation~lightnovelpub.net~ The situation is anxious!

Because Djokovic's forehand has unparalleled ability to change lines and control points, Gao Wen's attention is on guarding against his backhand gap, but Djokovic seizes this situation, time and time again The ground pressed the forehand, testing Gao Wen's nerves repeatedly like this.

Such a score, such a situation, such a situation, the pressure from all aspects swallowed Gao Wen like a torrential rain.

This time, it's the same again.

Obviously, Djokovic's shot seemed to be in a straight line, so that Gao Wen moved laterally to defend, but after the shot, he found that it was still a diagonal line, and it landed precisely in the dead corner again.

Gawain felt like Jerry in "Tom and Jerry", exhausted.

Thumb up!

Continuous big strides, quick stops and quick turns to rush to, but the position has been lost, the forehand was forced to cut a shot, trying to slow down the hitting speed.

Gao Wen realized that he needed to find a way to break the situation, even if he needed to take risks—in fact, Gao Wen had been bravely making changes, but Djokovic was completely focused and wanted to break Djokovic The difficulty of prediction is rising.

Kick off! cutting!

A machete-style cut, an extremely passive defense, but this time, Gao Wen's control was more delicate and more complicated. He aimed at the bottom line and cut with a super topspin. Most importantly, the landing point was also Slightly changed and pulled from the forehand position towards the middle position.

On the surface, there is nothing special, even Djokovic did not notice the abnormality—

Because it's a pretty normal shot, from every angle; and that's exactly what Gawain needs from Djokovic.
