Match Point

Chapter 773: Upturned lips

The sun was shining brightly, the blue sky was like washing, and the hot sweat was shining brightly. The eyes of the audience were all concentrated on the figures running around on the training ground.

The crowded crowd on the inner, third and outer floors was about to melt in the sizzling heat wave, but no one made a sound, and it was even quieter than the official competition. The above is slowly enlarged bit by bit.

A rare sight.

Tread.

The sound of footsteps rubbing against the pitch was exceptionally clear, and Gawain's figure sprinting horizontally on the baseline could be seen parallel to his line of sight, gradually enlarged in his pupils, and rushed towards his face like an arrow.

In an instant, Yujia felt his heart stop beating, as if Gao Wen was about to charge head-on in the next second, and the bustling crowd around him were all still.

One kick, one stop.

The right leg slammed on the ground with an emergency brake to support the body. Before the center of gravity of the body was about to lose balance, he backhanded the whip with both hands quickly and urgently.

Sweat, burst.

"boom!"

The crisp sound of hitting the ball exploded in my ears, as if the tennis ball was also exploded.

straight line.

Immediately afterwards, the eyes of the audience shifted along with the streamer of the tennis ball, watching the tennis ball cross the entire court along the outer sideline of the doubles, causing the audience to exclaim.

On the other side of the court, Fernando Verdasco (Fernando-) let out a muffled grunt. Standing in the center of the court, his footsteps were a little staggering, because his movement trend was already inclined towards the diagonal direction, but Gawain hit a straight shot , which also broke his body balance.

Second boot.

Full sprint.

Verdasco sliced ​​a shot with a forehand very reluctantly, the parabola was obviously too high, and just flew over the net, Nadal was already waiting at the oblique position.

Small steps are adjusted continuously, and a backhand shot with both hands is smashed in front of the net.

boom!

The tennis ball was bombarded like a shell. David-Marrero, who was waiting in front of the net on the opposite side, didn't even have the courage to catch the ball. His body had already made a conditioned reflex to survive, and he dodged to the side. , The whole person curled up, protecting important parts of his body with a racket.

landing.

Score.

Simply neat!

Yujia didn't hold back either, and clenched her fists tightly. Although she didn't cry out, she could still hear the gurgling sound of blood boiling and burning.

pretty!

Click click click click.

There is still no special movement around the training ground, but the number of onlookers who took out their mobile phones to take pictures has increased significantly.

Gao Wen and Nadal, with one right hand and one left hand, stood at the two ends of the sideline of the court respectively, covering the whole field from left to right. The tacit cooperation has begun to take shape—

Gawain made a surprise backhand straight line to create a chance, and Nadal quickly moved his footsteps to block the diagonal position and complete a fatal blow.

In the first combined training session, Gawain and Nadal showed a tacit understanding on the court, and they could understand each other's tactical intentions without too many words.

On the training ground, Nadal also had the same idea.

After confirming that the ball hit the ground and scored two jumps, Nadal turned around and walked quickly towards Gao Wen, his eyes focused on Gao Wen, showing affirmative light, and at the same time clenched his fists and waved them lightly, further conveying with his eyes and movements own excitement.

Then, Gao Wen also walked towards him and raised his right hand.

High fives.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Wen and Nadal lowered their right hands at the same time, and continued to celebrate by fist bumping on the side of their thighs.

Up and down.

Show the tacit understanding of two people.

On the training ground, there are still only rustling and trivial sounds, but at this moment, you can see that everyone is aiming at the field with their mobile phone lenses, changing from photo mode to video mode, and one or two are recording with their mobile phones. At this moment, even if it's just training, it is highly anticipated.

Nadal could feel the heat from the camera, but he couldn't hold back after all, and showed a slightly restrained and shy smile, looking uncomfortable; then Gao Wen gave Nadal a thumbs up to express his praise, which made Nadal's smile widened even more.

Yujia could imagine that this should be Gao Wen's idea.

Nadal is an introverted and shy character. He is usually very quiet in private, and he is not the type who is good at expressing himself on the court.

However, at this moment, Gao Wen and Nadal have cultivated some tacit understanding. It is conceivable that Gao Wen's affinity was seen in the first formal training, and he stood in front of the fans to show the results of their short-term joint training, bathed in the focus of the camera. Down, more or less still a little uncomfortable.

Apparently, Nadal isn't the only one.

On the other side of the court, Verdasco raised his hands high and complained loudly to Nadal and Gawain. Language expresses one's own strong incompatibility.

Marrero laughed cheerfully.

So, what about Gao Wen?

There were three Spaniards and one Chinese. Obviously, Gao Wen was the one who was excluded. Surrounded by the turbulent Spanish, his mind was full of question marks.

However, Gao Wen didn't do anything special, he just stood there, raised his hands, covered his ears, and pretended that they didn't exist.

A small movement immediately magnified the effect of "being squeezed out". Marrero was already out of breath from laughing, while Verdasco stood there with a face full of astonishment.

Nadal also had a smile on his face, and raised his voice to answer Verdasco, then approached Gao Wen, and explained in English with a strong taste of paella.

"Fernando said that our training was too serious, as if it was a Grand Slam final. I told him, don't talk like one of the four of us has played in a Grand Slam doubles final."

Ha ha!

Gawain burst out laughing.

It never occurred to me that Nadal would occasionally talk poorly. He is usually not funny, but once in a surprise attack, the effect is better, and the whole atmosphere immediately becomes cheerful~lightnovelpub.net~ Verdasco on the other side of the court is like Like a treasure, he didn't hold back and protested loudly in English.

"Rafa, Gawain has enough supporters, you should help me, you are going to put me on fire, you want to kill me."

"You are killing me!"

The twittering and muttering pushed the atmosphere to a climax, and all kinds of exaggerated body movements were like the inflatable dolls at the entrance of the supermarket. Finally, the surroundings of the training ground couldn't bear it anymore, and there was laughter in the bustling crowd.

Yujia also heard the conversation on the court, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily raised up—

Perhaps, don't be too burdened or expect too much for the time being, but really relax, enjoy tennis, and enjoy the happiness and joy brought by competitive sports.

People like competitive sports because of victories and championships, but obviously not only because of victories and championships, but also those passionate struggles and the good times that accompany them to spend their youth.

The new season, the new atmosphere, should be greeted with a smile.
