Chapter 395 Controlling Destiny
Pretty!

Agassi wanted to applaud Gawain's forehand attack, but the shot was still in progress, so he restrained himself——

This shot was not only sudden, but also delicate. The connection between the entire wrist and the racket felt very soft. It was obvious that everything had been properly arranged before the shot, and the final hitting effect fully met expectations.

To the uninitiated, Gawain's shots may seem like nothing special, but insiders can see that Wawrinka's handling can be very tricky.

If you take the first step, the hitting point of the bouncing ball has been missed, and it is very likely to hit the racket frame and fly directly, especially the one-handed backhand. Both Federer and Wawrinka often miss such balls, mainly because of the swing The space is squeezed, and the hitting point is not accurate.

If you retreat, the hitting position will be forced back, and the advantage of such a fast-paced back-and-forth ball will be lost. Gawain's next attack may catch up immediately, and then Wawrinka's footsteps want to It is difficult to get back near the bottom line.

However, the reason why Wawrinka is Wawrinka is because his backhand has the ability to turn decay into magic.

However, Wawrinka's footsteps were forced to take a big step back, but his backhand pull action was pulled up early, and he hit the ball at the position above his shoulders, forcibly attacking. The whole swing movement was stretched and smooth, like spreading wings Like an eagle, you can clearly see the connection of the entire force movement, with an unparalleled beauty of lines.

boom!
Obviously it was a passive ball, but Wawrinka forcibly tore it with a backhand, and exerted force at an awkward position above the shoulders. He forcibly tore the tennis ball into a diagonal line that ran through the entire court. Instead, it became active and completely reversed the entire ball. situation.

heh.

There was a murmur of exclamations at Louis Armstrong Stadium, admiring Wawrinka's trademark violent tennis.

but!

Everyone could immediately see a blue whirlwind across the audience, it was Gao Wen!
At the end of the last shot, Gao Wen had already started quickly, and with a sudden stop and turn, he had already sprinted horizontally to the left with all his strength, because he knew Wawrinka's ability, and the backhand was capable of tearing a diagonal line and breaking a straight line. ability, but Wawrinka's hitting line is relatively predictable——

In this case, it is often a slash, because it is empty, even if there is no direct score, it is more convenient to connect the next attack.

Gawain, run at full speed.

However, a little bit, still a little bit.

Gao Wen can clearly perceive the quality of Wawrinka's return, like a light and shadow, even if he moves ahead of time, even if he sprints with all his strength, even if this trap is laid out by himself, he still lacks a little bit when defending. This is why Wawrinka is at the top. A unique skill to gain a firm foothold among masters.

Really great!

But, did Gao Wen really not expect it at all?

Don't forget that Wawrinka's backhand was forced out by Gao Wen's previous forehand. In other words, this is Gao Wen's layout.

The more critical the moment, the calmer and bolder Gao Wen is, and he dares to take the initiative to control his destiny. For Gao Wen, he refuses to passively wait for his opponent to make mistakes to win the victory. He needs to take the initiative to attack at any time. Even if he makes a mistake, he should be Let go and take a gamble without regrets.

Ah!
Gao Wen let out a muffled grunt as he exerted all his strength. In the next second, he slid out in a big stride. He was forced to use a one-handed backhand with both hands, but it was not a swipe, but a slice. Before the tennis ball hit the ground , just in time to squeeze into the last bit of space left between the tennis ball and the court.

Everything, one cut.

Gao Wen concentrated on hitting the ball, his whole body stretched to the extreme, even in the face of difficulties, he still completed the hitting according to his plan.

Become!

Gao Wen not only successfully caught Wawrinka's explosive attack, but also changed the flight trajectory of the tennis singles by cutting. The beautiful unloading and wrapping made the tennis fly towards the dead corner of the bottom line triangle.

heh!
In the sound of another gasp in the audience, Wawrinka sprinted horizontally at full speed, running wildly between the two dead corners of the bottom line. Then he realized that Gao Wen broke the rules again and reversed the situation again.

Ding Ding Deng!
Wawrinka ran with all his strength, but hope was still not extinguished, because Gawain's cutting speed was not fast, and he still had time.

Ding Ding Deng!
Wawrinka runs into an anaerobic state, fully focused on the flying tennis ball.

Why do you keep saying that Wawrinka's defense is not good?
On the one hand, his footwork is good, but his mobility is relatively weak.

On the other hand, Wawrinka's offensive methods are relatively rich and diverse, but his defensive shots are very monotonous, often just cutting shots in an ordinary way. The entire defensive line selection, shot quality and tactical selection cannot limit the opponent.

To put it simply, defense is not only about returning the tennis ball to the opponent's court, but also limiting the opponent's next attack, or even turning the situation around, otherwise it is an ineffective defense.

Defense, like offense, requires brains and talents, and offense is a kind of "mind", and defense is another kind of "mind".

Wawrinka only has the former.

That's it for now.

After all, Wawrinka's footsteps arrived, but he soon discovered that Gawain's return ball took off most of the power, so the bounce height of the tennis ball was very low, which also meant that Wawrinka had very limited space to hit the ball.

So, Wawrinka chose... cutting.

Basically Wawrinka's routine, without any accidents.

But the moment Wawrinka finished cutting, he looked up and found a tall figure had appeared in front of the net——

Damn!

Wawrinka wanted to swear, but Gao Wen's offensive connection was so sharp that he was already in front of the net immediately, blocking most of the hitting line, and Wawrinka had his back to the net, so he didn't have time to see In this picture, the option of cutting the ball did not avoid the front of the net.

Moreover, the parabola is not held down.

Such a careless mistake!
The main reason is that Wawrinka still lacks understanding of the tactical combination of the young opponent in front of him for the first time. He did not expect Gao Wen to be so bold and risky. He dared to make such a choice at such a critical score. The details of the entire return of the ball were lacking. Polished, but when competitive sports masters compete, it is often these "invisible" details that determine the outcome.

However, before Wawrinka had time to swear, he saw Gawain's figure covering the front of the net. A forehand pressed down and directly crushed the tennis ball to death. His technique was crisp and straightforward——

boom!
The tennis ball landed hard on the court and flew towards the audience stands.

Whoa!
In an instant, the audience cheered thunderously.

From offense to defense and then to offense, the active and passive transition between the two players is really exciting. In just one point, there have been at least three position reversals. Both of them hit a fatal blow but were defeated by the opponent Unbelievably saved, in the end it was Gao Wen, a man of high art and courage, who scored the point with an unexpected high-pressure ball in front of the net.

wonderful!

Pretty!

Unbelievable!
