Match point

Chapter 1217 It's Interesting

"40: AD".

The break point came up.

Pui, full of question marks.

Subconsciously, he looked down at the racket, but Pui didn't understand either. The previous two strong topspins were handled well, but why did the flat hit fly away?

It shouldn't be.

On the other side of the court, Gao Wen did not clenched his fists to celebrate, but stared at the impact just now with bright eyes, showing a hint of playfulness in his expression.

It's like... a nerd with glowing eyes after seeing a math problem, exuding an enthusiastic research spirit, but it makes people want to roll their eyes.

Do not understand.

Pu Yi didn't understand at all, what happened to Gao Wen's expression?

In fact, it literally means——

Gao Wen thought that red clay was quite interesting.

From the perspective of tactical routines, there is nothing new. It is similar to hard courts. Through the distribution of landing points and changes in rotation, the balance is broken.

But the interesting thing about red clay is that:
One is rotation, the other is change, and the third is potential unknown factors.

In other words, in the same formula, the number of variables increases, and the possibilities naturally increase.

Also, many believe that the slowing down of clay courts, allowing more time to think and space to hit the ball, should be a good thing.

actually not.

Hitting the ball requires a kind of decisiveness. Once the thinking time increases, it is easy to hesitate, just like choice phobia. The more choices, the more flustered; Able to make better shots.

However, this is clay. You need to think, you need to play games, you need to face changes all the time, you need to prepare the second, third, and even fourth sets of plans, you need to adapt on the spot, and you need to realize that there may still be variables before a dead ball is formed. .

It's like just this point.

From landing point to spin to opponent's response, every shot has hidden traps and changes continuously; although there is no winning point in the end, it breaks the opponent's inertia and wins this point by making mistakes.

Here is where it is worth thinking about. Should this point be considered an unforced error by Puy?

Slowly, Gao Wen was digging the fun of the red soil, and that feeling seemed——

That morning, he opened his eyes, and then he went back to his freshman year, preparing for training with McDonald, and everything was fresh, wonderful, and full of life.

Of course, Gao Wen still did not lose his enthusiasm for tennis, but standing on the clay, he opened a new door and discovered a completely different interest.

So, break point, how should we play?
Second District.

This was Gao Wen's first break point in the game. He was not sure about Puy's tactical choice at the critical moment, but he was not prepared to be beaten passively.

There is no problem in adapting to all changes with the same change; however, this is Gao Wen's first clay court match, he needs to make more attempts, even if the result may not be satisfactory, and may even lead to the loss of the whole game, some attempts are still It needs to be done, and in the long run, this is the only way to interpret red clay.

After all, he is now a student.

Pui, serve.

...inner corners.

Pui did not adopt the classic outside corner pressing backhand tactics in the second zone, but instead attacked an inside corner, aiming at Gao Wen's forehand——

At least from the opening point of view, Puy's serve was more concentrated on Gao Wen's forehand.

Moreover, this time, the speed of the ball was directly raised.

The speed is 199 kilometers per hour.

puff.

Tennis, smashing a ball of clay sparks, flat hit out.

This time, Gao Wen didn't start early, but it's not surprising, the footsteps started very timely, a big stride, the forehand has already been extended.

one touch.

A wrap.

Gao Wen handled this ball more carefully, he didn't take the risk of attacking directly, but wrapped the tennis ball and hit it back to the court along the middle.

Moreover, the landing point is slightly shallow, and there is still a big step away from the bottom line.

Pui immediately seized the opportunity, adjusted in small steps continuously, turned sideways forehand, and fired directly.

Like most players whose forehand is significantly stronger than their backhand, Puy often turns his forehand sideways, relying on the power of the forehand to launch an attack and apply pressure.

Backslash.

Aim at the bottom line and hit the big triangle.

It can be seen from the landing point that Puy tried to press the deep area instead of tearing the angle apart, which also gave Gao Wen a chance.

But is this really an opportunity?

Gao Wen remained vigilant.

In the previous step, the center of gravity of the body sprints towards the right side, the footsteps pause and kick, and then move laterally towards the left side.

In the next step, the fast-moving footsteps are somewhat unable to grasp the ground, and it is obvious that the footstep control is still not precise enough-the practice time is not enough.

Gao Wen kept his concentration [-]%, and repeated the same backhand trick with both hands, pulling out a super topspin bottom line deep ball, and pushing the tennis ball back.

Slash dead ends.

During the fast movement, because the footsteps are not stable enough, the accuracy of hitting the ball will inevitably decrease, so Gao Wen simply gave up his power and hit the ball with rotation, which can not only increase insurance, but also gain time for himself to adjust, but the landing point cannot Whatever, Puy's follow-up attack must be restricted.

In the end, Gao Wen aimed at Puyi's backhand's bottom line triangle and pulled out a super topspin moon ball, which was very similar to the hitting strategy of the previous point.

Pui, not fooled.

At this time, we can see Puy's hitting talent. Facing a strong topspin in the deep area, he did not choose to retreat to open up space to complete the shot. Instead, he stood half a step behind the baseline, with both hands The backhand is set up directly, and the tape is quickly rolled to complete the bounce in a way that is almost a bounce ball.

One shot.

hit.

In the blink of an eye, Pui forcibly suppressed all the rotations, pulled back with both hands, and directly rolled out a diagonal line and rushed back.

Just from this shot, Djokovic's demeanor can be vaguely seen. Of course, the style is different, but the effect of hitting the ball is somewhat similar.

The tennis ball didn't stay for too long, and hit Gao Wen again——

Return the ball, deep and spin, heavy and heavy.

The spin that was almost equal to Gao Wen's hitting was superimposed on the speed and power of Pui's hitting, and then they all rushed towards Gao Wen.

The tennis ball fell within one step of the bottom line, with a strong spin and tail force, and returned to Gao Wen's backhand position.

OK.

Retreat.

Adjustment.

Gao Wen did not insist on standing on the bottom line, because he could feel the power of Puy's shot this time, but Puy compressed the whole rhythm, and did not leave much room for Gao Wen to adjust. When the step is about one step, the backhand with both hands is backhanded and the lead shot has been completed.

meal.

It can be seen from the line of sight that Gawain paused for a short time, and then, having just stood firm, he kicked forward, and actually took another step forward.

Back and forth.

Head on.

This... what's going on?

In fact, when he finished his last shot, Gawain's footsteps were not adjusted. Puy's ball was fast and urgent, which made Gawain a little flustered and affected the adjustment of his footsteps; therefore, Gawain simply Just make an adjustment on the spot, and everything happens in a blink of an eye.

Step up.

The footsteps are racing against time, but the backhand with both hands is lagging behind.

Stagnant.

Obviously he was ready to make a shot, but Gao Wen paused for a while to backhand with both hands, instead of hitting the ball forward, he was passively waiting for the tennis ball to come.

Everything happened too fast, so what exactly is Gao Wen planning?
