Match Point

Chapter 756: legendary figure

Chapter 757

"Gao Wen said that foot training is really, really important."

"Gowan said that tennis is a game that requires a lot of intelligence."

"Gao Wen said..."

Strictly speaking, it was only three months since Gao Wen left the Bruins. To be more relaxed, plus July and August, it would be five months at most, but it seemed a long time ago.

Although the three main players of Thompson, Geelong and Gao Wen have all left, the brilliance and success created by the Bruins last season can still be felt everywhere in the team.

Among them, Gao Wen left behind the most legends.

Purcell and Macdonald didn't feel it themselves, but for Rapp, the "traces of Gawain" were everywhere, and even the assistant coach Grant often subconsciously said "how was Gawain at that time". Gao Wen's figure behind the Bruins can be felt in every corner.

Until now, they finally saw Gao Wen alive.

"ah!"

On the court, MacDonald exerted his strength, hitting the ball diagonally with his backhand, and his entire strength and speed were fully released.

However, Gao Wen's footsteps were in place quickly, and he backhanded his hands to meet him head-on—

Faster, flatter and more off-center.

boom!

The tennis ball turned into a bolt of lightning and flew back directly across the court.

boom!

All the audience around the training ground raised their arms and shouted. The sound of thunder hovered over the training ground for a long time. Enough to convey the joy in the heart.

MacDonald looked back at where Gawain hit the ball, he was a little helpless—

Because Gao Wen broke the rules again, killing him by surprise.

"10:3".

In the end, McDonald didn't have his head shaved, and he was only slightly better than a donut. He grabbed ten miles and only scored three points.

From an objective point of view, McDonald was indeed unprepared, both psychologically and physically; standing in front of Gao Wen again, McDonald was more or less restrained, after all, Gao Wen was already a grand slam and a master. The change of mentality is very subtle.

Moreover, coupled with Macdonald facing Gao Wen, it was difficult to gain the upper hand before.

Due to various reasons, the practice match was so one-sided, and it was definitely not a manifestation of the absolute gap in strength.

But in any case, as the captain of the Bruins, McDonald needs to shoulder heavy responsibilities in the upcoming spring season, and the lessons from this practice match are even more important. He still has a lot to learn.

Captain is definitely not just a title.

Macdonald let out a long breath, and with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he trot all the way to the center of the court, and complained to Gawain.

"Long time no see, you are still perverted."

"Thanks for the compliment."

Gawain was not humble either, so he accepted the "compliment" frankly, which made Macdonald laugh too.

Macdonald has noticed the commotion around the training ground, the air is stirring as a small training session is turning into a big event.

But before Macdonald could open his mouth, Gawain sent out an invitation.

"The training match is over, and there will be ten sets of 'suicides' soon. How about it, let's make gestures?"

This is the training method proposed by Gao Wen in the Bruins team last season—

from the system.

After a training game, the physical strength and energy have reached a limit, and it is inevitable to be a little slack, but in the actual game, this is very fatal. Those difficult games where the bayonet is popular often require the players to fight on their own. Continue to make efforts above the limit.

Not to mention the five-set best-of-three grand slam, even the NCAA game, at the last critical moment, also needs to face the test of pressure.

Thus, a new kind of training was released:

Ten groups of "suicide" followed immediately after the training match.

As mentioned before, "suicide" is a very basic training in competitive sports, which can be seen in football, basketball, rugby, badminton and other sports.

To put it simply, it is to run back and forth between the two endpoints, but make different adjustments according to different training intensities, and the most terrifying one is step by step.

The starting point is fixed; but the turning point is to increase the distance step by step. Suppose the first turning point is five meters, then the second is ten meters, the third is twenty meters, the fourth is thirty meters, The fifth is fifty meters, and so on.

Every time you go to the turning point, you need to go back to the starting point before continuing to run.

The reason why this training is called "suicide" is because it has strict requirements on breathing, rhythm, explosion, endurance, and control. A group of turning back and running down often leads to brain hypoxia and incoherent speech; but exercise There is no doubt that the effect is excellent, so it can be seen in different sports.

"Training match + suicide".

Basically, it is equivalent to continuing to challenge the limit at the peak of one's own limit.

The physical level of training is second, and the spiritual level of training is the most important. This is also known as the "devil training". Now the Bruins are also implementing it, but because of the difficulty, few players can do it. If you stick to ten sets, you often stick to five sets, and the efficiency is low.

Rapp's eyes lit up at the first moment, and he turned to look at Sale.

"That's what Gawain invented, right?"

Sale folded his hands over his chest with lingering fear, "In the team last year, no one could match Gawain's speed and strength, and Mike was the only one who could barely keep up."

"but…"

Purcell didn't continue talking, what he wanted to say was:

However, this summer and autumn, Macdonald has worked very hard, and the intensity of physical training and basic training has been raised to a whole level. In their opinion, he should be on par with Gawain, so the outcome of this duel is unknown——

After all, basic training and practice games are two different things, and Gao Wen has just returned from Europe, the training is not systematic, and his physical reserves should be mediocre.

There is no need to continue the words, because McDonald and Gao Wen have already stood at the starting point, there is no nonsense, the two people exchanged a glance, and they are ready.

Two people stand on the vertical line of the tennis court, that is, the outer sideline of the doubles line, starting from this ~lightnovelpub.net~ Then the left sideline of the singles line, the right sideline of the singles line, and the right sideline of the doubles line are three. A turn-back point, start the turn-back run.

It is precisely because of the uneven distance that this puts higher requirements on rhythm control and footstep control, which is more difficult and therefore more exciting.

Purcell took a step forward and gave orders before he had time to say hello.

"Count to three."

"One! Two!"

"start!"

pedal!

Gawain and MacDonald rushed out at the same time.

Tread.

In just two steps, I have reached the first turning point. I paused, bent down and touched the ground, and counted only when my fingers touched the ground. Then I stood up quickly, and made another two big steps to adjust, and returned to the starting point. After bending down again and touching the ground, as soon as he kicked his feet, his body rushed out.

Flying like lightning!

The two blue figures, running side by side without distinction, seemed like the 100-meter sprint in the Olympic trapeze competition, and they cut off the breath of the audience in an instant.
