Match Point

Chapter 580: happy tennis

"That shot just now, I honestly thought you were going to miss it."

"Me too. In the end, I was completely unsure of the shot, and I couldn't even determine the effect of returning the ball."

"Has Hollywood tough guy explosion never looked back?"

"Haha, Domi, are you joking too?"

Giggling and bantering with each other, even Tim made a rare little joke, and the two laughed happily.

The biggest difference between doubles and singles is that time and space are compressed. Naturally, all shots need to be re-arranged. That doesn't mean the tactics are any easier.

The tactics of a singles match lies in the layout; the tactics of a doubles match lie in confrontation. Naturally, the entire batting layout also needs to be adjusted. It is impossible to take the initiative by sticking to the bottom line, so it is crucial to occupy the commanding heights in front of the net. The fundamental reason why doubles games can polish front-net skills.

In the penultimate point, Tim's return of the serve opened up the situation in a different way, which also gave Gao Wen inspiration.

Taking stock of this point, in an extremely passive situation, Gao Wen had a burst of inspiration and returned a shot that was difficult to replicate. In a really relaxed situation, the shot felt particularly soft, which opened up the situation unbelievably, and he took the lead The disk victory was in the bag.

Objectively speaking, winning the first set was a bit of a fluke.

Gao Wen and Tim didn't cooperate tacitly. In the first half, they basically relied on their individual abilities to play. They played the game completely with the idea of ​​singles. There was no doubles at all. It was not until the end of the game that they could finally see the two players. Interaction; coupled with the fact that Kubert and Lindstead's state in the second half of the season was really mediocre, the balance of victory and defeat was slightly tilted towards the side of Gao Wen and Tim.

The second set, still starts from scratch.

However, Gao Wen and Tim's form is very relaxed, but they have regained a little touch, and the overall feeling of hitting the ball can basically reach the state of weekend training.

In the sixth game, Gao Wen and Tim found another opportunity. This time it was Kubert's serve game, and once again took the lead to get two consecutive break points, which is expected to break the deadlock in the second set. Take the lead in the score.

In the first area, Kubert serves and Gao Wen receives the serve.

Kubert took a risk and tried a serve from the outside corner of the bottom line triangle area of ​​the service area. He has both speed and strength, and he is ready to make a serve on the break point.

Kubert, who was more capable of serving the ball, came up and suppressed Gao Wen's forehand return with his serve from the outer corner at a speed of 198 kilometers per hour.

Serving at the same speed of 198 kilometers per hour is completely different in singles and doubles, because Gao Wen has to face the pressure of Lindstede in front of the net, and there are not many options for returning the ball. Therefore, once Kubert's serve is over Therefore, Gawain and Tim will inevitably fall into a passive position.

Gawain's forearm hit a forehand like a whip, returning a small diagonal line, avoiding Lindstead's block, and finding Kubert; however, the speed and power of Kubert's serve Forming a suppression, Gao Wen used his strength to hit the ball a little later, resulting in a lower return height.

Wipe the net!

The tennis ball hit the net belt, bounced high, changed the flight trajectory, and destroyed Gao Wen's intention to return the ball with a small slash. However, because the return force was sufficient, the tennis ball still flew into the opponent's court after hitting the net, and accidentally caused Take a small ball with excellent unloading force and fly towards the outer corner.

It was too late for Lindstedt to move laterally to cover, so Kubert ran with all his strength, narrowly saved the tennis ball, and returned a straight half-court shot.

Both Tim and Gao Wen stepped into the arena, following up at a fast speed, and then Tim used a one-handed backhand to cut a big diagonal line with strong rotation.

Ping! pong!

Ping! pong!

Lindstede was well prepared and blocked Tim's return ball forward, and suppressed the rotation with force. The entire straight-line return ball was pressed very deep, and it was a strong backspin to drill the ground, forcing Gao Wen to hit the net. His footsteps were forced to retreat again, and he rebounded the ball after consecutive retreats.

Lindstede's volley at the net gave them an advantage, so that Gao Wen fell into a passive position—

Tim stood in front of the net, but he was still not aware of grabbing the net, and he didn't stick close enough. This is a singles habit engraved in his bones, so the opponent's doubles player found a loophole and fully grasped that Tim sticks to the first half and Gao Wen sticks to it. In the second half of the stance, he continued to chop long and deep, and strongly underspin to prevent Gao Wen from returning the ball.

Gao Wen is exhausted.

On the right, the forehand bounced the ball and was pressed back.

On the left, the backhand lobs the ball and is pressed back.

On the right side, he hit the ball hard with his forehand and was blocked.

On the right side, the backhand hit the ball solidly and was blocked.

Gao Wen has been trying to change the line to break the situation, but Kubert and Lindstead hit the ball in turn. The entire front of the net line is completely impenetrable, and they continue to attack Gao Wen. The advantages and disadvantages are pulled away bit by bit. Big, then, Gao Wen finally had no choice but to backhand the high ball with one hand.

This is not a tactical moon ball, but just before the tennis ball is about to jump twice, barely save the ball with one hand, extending the life of a shot, without any quality at all.

Therefore, Lindstead did not hesitate to smash directly in front of the net with high pressure.

With one shot, a diagonal line, Gao Wen backhanded with both hands and managed to save the ball.

ah! The audience exclaimed!

Another shot, a slash, and Gao Wen backhanded it back with both hands.

ah! The hearts of the audience stopped!

Another shot, a straight line, Lindstead pressed deep and heavy, and made a sudden attack on the straight line. Tim barely hooked a one-handed backhand at a position of nearly two meters, and barely hit the tennis back with danger.

Before they knew it, Gao Wen and Tim had both been forced to the bottom line, while Lindstead and Kubert firmly held the commanding height in front of the net.

ah! The exclamation was accompanied by the stunned and booing emotions that became more and more turbulent!

Another shot~lightnovelpub.net~ oblique line, Lindstead pressed shallow, so the rebound height of the tennis ball after landing was very high, Gao Wen took off on the spot, cut a shot with a forehand at the top of the head, and then you can see , The tennis ball actually wobbled, wobbled, and flew to the bottom line.

ah! Ahhh! The exclamation of the audience was continuous, like an electrocardiogram, following the ups and downs of the flight trajectory of the tennis ball. The No. 2 court was so noisy that pedestrians coming and going outside the court could not help but stop.

Kubert is retreating, and is continuing to retreat, constantly looking at Gao Wen's lob to determine whether it is out of bounds.

Gawain and Tim turned their heads and exchanged glances tacitly. They both stepped forward at the same time. With one big step, they had already pressed the front of the net, reversing the whole situation.

Kubert went back to the baseline and tried to press the baseline high, only to find that Gawain's return ball was spinning and rushing, forcing him to return to the baseline to complete a regular forehand, and it hit Gawain directly.

Gao Wen made a volley in front of the net, and the tennis ball flew back, but the landing point was not well controlled, and Lindstead directly blocked the shot and hit it back.

Wait, how did tennis turn into badminton?
