Chapter 722

"1:0".

It's not surprising that it's guaranteed; it's not surprising that "love-game" is guaranteed.

What is really worth noting is that Gao Wen prepared the tactical layout in the opening stage.

In this room, Tong Kexin was still sighing, "The opening is a love-game. It seems that Gao Wen is still very friendly to Kei Nishikori, and he is so loving from the beginning."

In that room, Xu Yang hesitated to speak, and paused for a while. Although he had already gotten used to his partner's childish language, he still couldn't help being surprised occasionally.

After all, Xu Yang stubbornly insisted on his explanation.

"In the first game, Kei Nishikori couldn't catch up with Gao Wen in calculating the ball."

"Gao Wen set up a trap from the moment he served the ball. The decelerated topspin serve restricted Kei Nishikori's return path."

"Immediately, Gao Wen waited accurately on the line of Kei Nishikori's return, and shortened the time of the return by rebounding the ball. Although the line and angle control were a bit rough, the time compression successfully broke Kei Nishikori's defense. Balanced, won the winning point very easily, and successfully secured serve."

"The real cleverness of Gao Wen is that he changed the speed from slow to fast, and the two effective shots restricted Kei Nishikori's punches."

In the first round of the game, Xu Yang could already vaguely see Gao Wen's tactical layout, and he really had a vision.

Tong Kexin joked with a smile, "You mean, like a cat catching a mouse?"

Xu Yang: ...

After a pause, Xu Yang continued to speak in his calm commentary style.

"It can be seen that Gao Wen has fully prepared for this game and has entered the state very quickly; however, it is only the beginning, and as the game progresses, there should be some changes in the tactical implementation of the two sides, and we will continue to observe. "

"Next, let's look at Kei Nishikori's serve."

swish swish.

swish swish.

The air in the O2 stadium is slightly turbulent, and the trivial sounds of whispering can be vaguely caught, it is not obvious, but it exists objectively.

In the opening stage, the game has not yet entered the state, and the audience's attention has not been able to fully focus on the game.

However, two players were exceptions, they both remained focused and focused.

Snapped. Snapped. Snapped.

Kei Nishikori was shooting the ball, but because of the trivial sound from the audience stands, he paused for a while, looked at the stands, waited for the sound to calm down, and then shot the ball again.

Kei Nishikori was slightly distracted, but it wasn't because of the audience—that was just an excuse, the real reason was because of Gawain.

Facing the second match, Kei Nishikori is fully prepared; moreover, Gao Wen just won the championship in Paris last week and is in good form, so he is even more unlikely to take it lightly. After learning that Raonic has retired, he and Zhang Depei I have been analyzing tactics and making sure I am ready to face the battle.

However, the actual situation is very... awkward.

It's not about forehand or backhand, or technical problems, but the whole batting rhythm, which is unpredictable.

At least in the opening stage, Kei Nishikori had a lot of disturbing thoughts in his mind, and he still needed a little time to sort out his thoughts.

"15:40".

In his serve game, Kei Nishikori had to face two break point tests in a blink of an eye, so he needed to be nervous, which is why he was particularly sensitive to a little noise.

a district.

Inner corner? Outer corner?

More important than the serve, how should the next attack be laid out?

Kei Nishikori took a deep breath, thought about it carefully, and then shot the ball again.

Snapped. Snapped. Snapped.

Echoing, roaring continuously above the eardrums, Kei Nishikori threw the ball—

outer corner.

Kei Nishikori chose the outside corner after all, suppressing Gao Wen's forehand, trying to break through Gao Wen's forehand position, even in the past two weeks, Gao Wen's forehand has been exceptionally good.

The speed is 173 kilometers per hour.

The first serve speed is not high, but Kei Nishikori is different from Gao Wen. Gao Wen did it on purpose, while Kei Nishikori's average serve speed has not been high.

However, Gao Wen had already rushed out with a big stride, and made a whip-flashing swing with his forehand, his body completely blooming.

coming!

Kei Nishikori stared intently at Gao Wen's return ball, adjusted in small steps continuously, and moved towards his left—

Return the ball, close to the backhand position in the middle area.

It can be seen that Gao Wen tried to make a straight line, but because of insufficient time to swing the racket, the whole movement was not completed, so the straight line was not completely straightened.

This also gave Kei Nishikori enough time to move, backhand with both hands to prepare the racket early and prepare to attack.

etc!

Kei Nishikori's pupils contracted, and he immediately noticed the strong upspinning rotation, and he could already see the fluff that exploded before landing, like an angry bird.

The ball is fast, not fast, but the spin is particularly strong.

This is the effect of Gao Wen's forehand swing. Although the rotation speed is not as good as that of Nadal, the combination of spin and landing is very good.

The return ball landed in the deep zone, only half a step away from the bottom line.

After landing and bouncing, the speed of the jump was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had already directly rushed towards Nishikori's face——

This is the ball.

Today's game, since the opening, Gao Wen's shot has been changing.

Or, there is a strong topspin in the deep area of ​​the bottom line, and the angle may not be forcibly torn apart. In this way, Kei Nishikori's hitting action is squeezed.

Or, it is to hit the ball flat in the shallow area, but the angle will be deliberately widened, because the rebound height of the landing is limited, which also makes Kei Nishikori not have much room to hit the ball.

On the whole, the speed and strength are relatively weakened. The most important thing is to disrupt the rhythm of Kei Nishikori grabbing the rising point. The effect of returning the ball has always put Kei Nishikori in an awkward position.

Kei Nishikori wanted to grab the rising point, and he wanted to increase his speed very much, but the effect of each shot could not meet expectations, and the shot was always in an uncomfortable position. The whole game slowed down according to Gao Wen's idea. .

Kei Nishikori didn't like it, very, very much.

But Kei Nishikori will not continue to be beaten passively.

One pedal, one pedal.

Because he had enough time, Kei Nishikori took a step forward, not only did not avoid ~lightnovelpub.net~ but also took the initiative to go forward, grabbing a rising point:

Faster than faster.

Before the strong topspin rotation is fully released, before the point of impact rises to his shoulders, he has already shot first.

Then, the two-handed backhand is quickly swiped up, with a light belt, the ball has been hit diagonally, the speed of the ball is raised as much as possible, and the ball is hit flat across the net.

On the one hand, Gao Wen tried to slow down the speed of the game, and on the other, Kei Nishikori tried to increase the speed of the game.

On the indoor hard court, it is obvious that Kei Nishikori's hitting strategy is correct, and then you can see the figure running fast and horizontally on the other side of the court.

The wind is flying fast.

It can be seen from the moving speed and position that Gao Wen has predicted Kei Nishikori's hitting line in advance. When Zhigui hit the ball, his footsteps were already close to the midfield position.

Go all out!

However, is Gao Wen's tactic really that simple? Slowing down the game hard indoors? Forcibly playing indoor hard courts as clay?
