Chapter 488 The Brave Wins

"15:30".

In the second area, one shot does not go in, and the second shot goes to the outside corner.

Finally, Cilic tried to attack the serve in the direction of Gao Wen's backhand. After all, without the classic line of the outer corner of the second zone, Cilic's serving tactics would be incomplete, and the threat of the serve would be greatly reduced.

In fact, in the second half of the first set, Cilic slowly started attacking, using different tactical combinations to suppress Gao Wen, sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't, but overall, when targeting Gao Wen's backhand serve, Cilic They will still pay more attention to suddenness and break Gao Wen's prediction.

That's it for now.

When the score was behind, the sneak attack on the outside corner, and it was a second serve, the effect was very good, because Gao Wen really didn't expect it.

However, Cilic himself was extra cautious and added a lot of insurance. The speed and angle did not fully add up, and the oppressiveness was still slightly inferior.

Gao Wen's start was a little slower, and he didn't have time to complete the backhand swing with both hands. He just supported the racket with both hands and hit the ball, then hit the ball diagonally along the direction of force, and then hit the tennis ball again. Hit back, but the landing point and angle were not completely torn apart.

Kick off!sideways!Forehand!

Cilic seized the opportunity, and immediately turned sideways and made a full-scale attack with his forehand. The entire speed and strength burst out in an instant, and the tennis ball rushed over like a ball of flame.

Moreover, Cilic hid a little bit tricky. He didn't aim at the dead corner of the big triangle on the bottom line to suppress, because he knew that Gao Wen's ability to use his strength to hit the ball is very powerful, so he used his wrist to complete a small skateboard hit, and the return ball fell to the ground. On the outside dead corner of the tee, and bounce out.

Like a big outside corner serve.

The only regret is that you have sacrificed strength because of the spin control, but you can still see Cilic's excellent forehand feeling in this year's US Open. It has reached the level of where to play.

Gawain was a little embarrassed.

Although the footsteps are originally in the backhand position, they still have to take two steps away from the doubles line. At the same time, the height of the rebound makes the hitting point higher than the shoulders.

Tapping.

Tapping.

After adjusting in small steps continuously, Gao Wen had already snatched his body out, and then he jumped up following the inertia of forward rushing, his body vacated to get a more comfortable and accurate hitting position, and his hands backhanded in the air. Push out, stacking body weight and gravity together down towards the tennis ball.

Hit the ball in the air!

boom!
Flying in the air is not for juggling, but to improve your hitting position and find a more accurate hitting point, but the difficult hitting action is indeed like juggling.

It can be clearly seen that Gao Wen's racket is consciously pressed down, almost hitting the tennis ball hard in the form of a smash; and even if the center of gravity of the body is off the ground support, the stability of the backhand with both hands can still be seen, the whole There is no deformation at all in the hitting action, and even rely on the force of the rotation to complete the force.

boom!
"Backhand VS Backhand".

"Slash vs Slash".

Cilic could immediately feel the majestic air waves rushing towards his face, and the energy of Gawain's backhand hit the ball instantly exploded layer upon layer with an astonishing momentum.

In fact, the best response at this time is to change the backhand to a straight line, which can reverse the situation in an instant - this is the most classic line of Djokovic against Nadal, but the problem is that Cilic's backhand does not have such a line change ability.

So what should Cilic do?
cutting.

Cilic immediately adjusted his footsteps, cut a slash with his backhand, and sent the tennis ball back to Gawain's feet.

Cilic's cutting is completely a transition ball, lacking changes in spin and speed. It is mainly used to deal with the last shot of a crisis situation. There is no such thing as suppressing the opponent or gaining defensive time, etc., but there is one advantage, that is, the line And drop point control to ensure quality——

Solid basic skills.

bass.

In this way, the chip pushes back to Gao Wen's backhand position and lands in the deep area, avoiding giving Gao Wen a half-court ball that can be attacked at any time, forcing Gao Wen who has already entered the baseline to be unable to continue forward, and even needs to retreat to adjust. Being able to complete the swing, the overall effect has far exceeded expectations.

But the problem is that, without power and rotation, even with a guaranteed landing point, it is basically equivalent to feeding the ball in a practice match for Gao Wen.

opportunity!

Gao Wen naturally wouldn't be polite——

His footsteps did not retreat, and he still stood on the same spot, but his body center of gravity was slightly tilted back to ensure that the knees were bent to lower the center of gravity. He completed the backhand with both hands early and completed the small-scale lead racket, and rushed to hit the ball at the rising point after the tennis ball rebounded, just like hitting the ball. Playing golf is general, with a small range of rotation and a small range of arm swing, and relying on the speed of the racket head to complete the closing action.

Backhand, straight line.

Whoosh!
Tennis, turned into a shooting star.

straight line!

What Cilic was most worried about did not happen when receiving the serve, but after all, it happened again after going around, which made Cilic a little flustered:
For a moment, I regretted that I just sliced ​​a slash and didn't choose the middle. The slice was sent to the opponent's powerful backhand, which was obviously not a wise choice.

But at this time, regret is of no avail. Cilic must focus on the present. While cutting the shot, his footsteps have already begun to move ahead of time, sprinting at full speed, crossing the audience, and the sudden sense of crisis broke out. All the energy is mobilized.

Ding Ding Deng!
Ding Ding Deng!
Seeing that the center of gravity was about to be lost, his staggering footsteps seemed likely to collapse at any time, but at the critical moment, Cilic burned the small universe and burst out with incredible power, stepped on the Hot Wheels and rushed there, and then fully extended his upper body, and was about to miss Complete a giant swing before hitting the ball.

boom!
After the hitting action was completed, Cilic jumped out, his center of gravity had been completely thrown out, but his eyes were still fixed on the tennis ball flying in the air——

Slash big diagonal!
Cilic did not choose to save the ball conservatively in his hard fight, but once again showed a forehand with divine help. Under the limit state, he successfully hit a flat attack that penetrated the entire court. There is no spin, no control, no insurance, it is comprehensive Powerful forehand attack.

Fight back hard.

"Power VS Power"!
"Forehand VS Backhand"!
The strong collision instantly displayed the charm of offensive tennis to the fullest, and the entire Arthur Ashe Stadium couldn't help but commotion. This was the scene they had been waiting for. Cilic, who lost his center of gravity and flew out of the field, transferred to Gao Wen, who was sprinting to the bottom line at full speed.

With one shot, Cilic turned the situation around with a desperate shot. The two players finally mobilized all their energy when they entered the second half of the second set. And passive switching is dizzying, breath-taking.

The crisis was immediately pushed to Gao Wen's side.
