Match Point

Chapter 617: long seesaw

Chapter 618

incredible!

Even though I witnessed it with my own eyes, it was still unbelievable. During the whole game, Simon, who was in a state of supernatural power, always took the initiative and seized the opportunity to end the game several times before and after, but Gao Wen pulled out his teeth abruptly and continued the game again. .

so wonderful!

So passionate!

The spirit of never giving up and fighting to the end in competitive sports shines in the center court.

Up to now, the whole game has been going on for 90 minutes, but the audience is not tired at all, but more and more excited.

Everyone is looking forward to another semi-final matchup of "Federer VS Djokovic", but they did not expect that this semi-final is not inferior.

"Gao Wen! Come on!"

"Gao Wen! Come on!"

During the intermission, the center court played a wave of people, and the uniform sound of cheering hovered over the court for a long time—

Remember the first round of the game, when the tickets for Gao Wen's game were sold out for the first time?

In the semi-finals, Gao Wen's game tickets were all sold out again, but the news media did not make any fuss. The attendance rate even surpassed that of the other semi-finals. A beautiful landscape.

Who would have thought that after returning to his homeland to participate in the Shanghai Masters for the first time, Gao Wen would be able to reach the semi-finals in one go, and on the stage of the semi-finals, he would dedicate such a soul-stirring and wonderful match. The audience, whether on or off the field, is a treat.

Roaring, surging above the eardrums, happiness and joyful smiles bloomed under the cheering faces, shouts from the depths of the soul agitated for a long time, bright and gorgeous five-star red flags bloomed proudly all over the mountains and plains, this should be the same A scene never seen before in the Shanghai Masters.

Qiao Wangshang kept standing vigorously and impassionedly, staring at the chasing boy on the court with his head held high, his blood began to boil again.

There are backwardness, passivity, stalemate, match point, danger, despair, fierce battle, counterattack...everything, the only thing missing now is victory.

The final set begins.

Simon, who missed a lot of opportunities to end the game, showed no signs of collapse.

A stable psychological quality is an essential basic quality for defensive players. Once they start to be irritable or anxious, this is the beginning of a game out of control.

During the brief intermission, Simon regained his sanity.

In the third set, Simon took the lead in serving. It was still the true color of the king, the long racket saw-saw, and the defense-building game. Simon steadily secured his serve.

The rollercoaster ride at the end of the second set seemed to be a thing of the past.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Wen also gained a firm foothold and successfully secured the hair—

After losing two consecutive serve games at the end of the last set, he secured serve for the first time, making a good start for the final set.

However, the physical exertion of the tug-of-war was really obvious, especially Gao Wen, who was in the catch-up position in the second set, was highly focused and adrenaline burst out continuously when facing the match point, so he didn't notice it, but after passing the peak period, The sharp decline in physical strength was exposed.

Another consequence of not having systematic training for three full weeks can no longer be concealed at this time.

Last week in the Imperial Capital, Gao Wen only played three games, so the impact on his physical strength was not obvious, and he was eliminated before he had time to expose his problem.

But this week in Shanghai, Gao Wen played five singles games and two doubles games, and the severe test of physical strength was overwhelmed.

Especially in this game against the "Grinding King" Simon, scoring and losing points is a tug-of-war. Every point and every game is not easy. The two games have been played for 90 minutes, and the energy and brain consumption has intensified the physical strength. of burning.

Entering the third set, it was still a fierce battle.

For Simon, it was just a daily routine, there was no difference between the first set and the third set, but for Gao Wen, the extreme physical strength soon appeared, and the situation was very difficult.

Even so, Gao Wen still gritted his teeth and persisted, biting the game step by step first, and started to deal with Simon, hoping to pass the physical strength quickly.

The only good news is that Simon himself did not play aggressively, and did not seize the opportunity of Gawain's physical decline to widen the gap.

"1:1".

"2:2".

"3:3".

In the opening stage, both sides kept their serve smoothly, and there was even a tie, but neither of them sent a break point. Then, the turning point came in Gao Wen's fourth serve.

"4:3".

After losing the first point, at the end of the 24-shot ultra-long tug-of-war in the second point, Gao Wen hit the forehand out of bounds, and then Gao Wen fell to the ground.

The audience was silent.

Qiao Wangsheng almost forgot to breathe, his heart stopped beating completely, and he just froze in place, his fingers clasped tightly, and there was only one thought in his mind:

Don't get hurt don't get hurt don't get hurt.

Fortunately, Gawain was not injured, but his calf was cramped. It was because of this that the last time he hit the ball, he kicked the ground and didn't hold it. on the ground to avoid accidental injury.

Sit on the floor, stretch your calves, work through the cramps, and then stand up again.

The on-site ambulance personnel arrived immediately, but the game still needed to continue, because Gao Wen did not appear in a serious condition that could not continue the game. According to the rules of the game, he could only be checked during the break between rounds.

In this round, Gao Wen was obviously affected by calf cramps, his kicking force was not sufficient, his serve was greatly affected, and his movement performance also declined.

"0:40".

In the blink of an eye, Gao Wen had to face the dilemma of three consecutive break points.

Qiao Wangsheng's heart was completely tangled:

On the one hand, he hoped that Gawain would put his body first and not need to work hard for a victory; but on the other hand, he vaguely hoped that there would be no major problems with cramps, and that Gawain would still be able to fight hard to win the comeback.

Contradictory thoughts are like angels and demons tug-of-war in the mind.

Once again, Gawain was pushed to the edge of the cliff, bursting out with high fighting spirit in an instant~lightnovelpub.net~ At the same time, Simon also experienced rare fluctuations due to the precipitous decline in Gao Wen's state, and the entire confrontation intensity dropped significantly. At the critical moment, Gao Wen clenched his teeth and started chasing back miraculously.

"ah!"

With Simon's last shot back to the net, Gao Wen scored five points in a row to reverse the situation and kept serve in a thrilling manner.

Gao Wen didn't suppress his emotions anymore.

This arduous and fierce battle inspired all the stubbornness and fighting spirit deep in the bones after a long absence.

"Ahhh!"

Gao Wen clenched his fists and raised his head to the sky, shouting loudly, whether it was anger, depression or aggrieved, high spirits, passion or passion, he finally let out the suffocation in his chest.

bang bang bang!

Vigorously, Gao Wen thumped his chest, feeling the force of his heart bursting, once and again.

He will not give up, he will not surrender, he will not disarm, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will complete the whole game standing up until the last bit of energy deep in his soul is exhausted, until the last bit of dust Until landing:

Keep fighting, keep fighting!
