Match point

Chapter 896 The Battle of the Gods of War
heh!
Bottom line.

It actually hit the bottom line accurately!

Gao Wen, who was completely passive and at a complete disadvantage, returned a slap shot that stunned everyone, and the bottom line of the sky was flying, turning the situation around in an instant.

In Melbourne Park, a gasp of exclamation rolled in from all directions, disturbing the moonlight and surrounding the Rod Laver Stadium.

No one believed their eyes, Gao Wen's control of touch was so delicate and wonderful.

One shot.

It was precisely this lob shot in a hurry that resolved all of Nadal's front-net advantages and gave Gawain a chance to defend and counterattack.

Peak showdown!

But will Nadal waver?

Obviously not.

Nadal fell from the absolute active position to the passive position, but he did not panic, adjusted in small steps continuously, followed the flight trajectory of the tennis ball all the way to the bottom line, and adjusted while observing.

Small steps, and then small steps.

With your back to the court, hit the ball with one hand over your shoulder, above your head, and return the ball blind.

What lines, what controls, I can't take care of it at this time.

boom!
The tennis ball flew back again.

Nadal controlled his body with an emergency brake, turned 180 degrees, repositioned, determined his position on the court, kept his feet jumping lightly, and maintained a defensive rhythm.

Then you can see that the position of returning the ball is not bad!

Nadal hit the ball with his back to the court over the shoulder, went straight, along a straight line, returned to the middle, and pressed near the bottom line.

Originally, Gao Wen was ready to step up to the bottom line, put pressure on the front of the net, and quickly connect the attack, but his pace was adjusted a little slower, and Nadal's return ball had already come, and the opportunity was fleeting.

From the small details here, it can be seen that Gao Wen's Internet awareness and ability still have room for continuous improvement, and his tactical awareness has not kept up.

So Gao Wen continued to stand on the baseline, waiting for the ball.

Nadal's return ball still has a little spin, but it is far worse than the iconic "Na-style spin". Is this an offensive opportunity?
You must know that this is the center point, and the offensive space on the left and right sides is very limited. Strictly speaking, this is not an offensive opportunity, especially facing Nadal.

However, Gawain attacked.

Continuously adjusted in small steps, and after finding his own attacking position, the forehand was directly erected.

kick the ground!

Swing!

work hard!

boom.

Accompanied by a solid and crisp sound of hitting the ball, the tennis ball quickly drilled towards Nadal's forehand along the direction of the small diagonal line.

Forehand?

Gao Wen actually chose to attack Nadal's forehand?
The skateboard hit the ball flat and fast, Gao Wen suppressed all the rotation, his right hand was like whipping a whip, and all the strength of his forearm was released instantly.

Long sword unsheathed!

Nadal was in a bit of a panic because of Gao Wen's sudden forehand attack, and also because Gao Wen's hitting line and landing point were tricky——

Gao Wen did not exert all his force, but used a skateboard to hit the ball to increase the connection speed. The landing point was in the shallow area near the sideline, just between the teeing area and the baseline. Flying out of the doubles area, causing trouble for Nadal's defense.

Nadal's footstep adjustment was a little disordered, and it was too late for his forehand to make a full swing, so he could only hook a shot with his forehand reluctantly.

Super topspin!

Nadal's iconic super top spin appeared again, trying to buy himself more time to return to the defense. Immediately afterwards, his footsteps moved laterally to the right to fill the backhand gap that was completely exposed.

but!

Gao Wen took a step forward, and his footsteps directly entered the bottom line. He immediately noticed that Nadal's forehand swing was not complete. Even though there was a lot of topspin, the return line was still short. Falls near midfield.

Too shallow!
At the critical moment, Nadal's shortcoming of poor forehand condition was highlighted again today.

opportunity!

Therefore, Gao Wen made a decisive decision and immediately entered the arena.

Accompanied by his own pace, the forehand has already led the shot early.

The wind was blowing, the light hair was blowing, the scorching sweat was pulled by the centrifugal force and flew out, bursting in the air, and then you could hear the solid and crisp sound of hitting the ball, bursting in your ears.

Forehand!

backslash!
Return the ball!
Repeat!

The air froze like this, no one expected Gao Wen's continuous attack, so close, so strong, so determined, and so bold.

What about Nadal?

Stop and turn!

Miraculously, the Spanish god of war actually controlled his lateral movement, but it was too late to adjust his footsteps, and the whole person was already flying into the air. Without any support from the center of gravity, he intercepted a shot with his forehand, just like intercepting a missile generally.

bass!
Ah!
The sound of batting and exclamations intertwined, Gao Wen attacked beautifully, and Nadal defended brilliantly. Both players had released their full energy at this moment.

nothing left!

The tennis ball started to fly again inexplicably, drew an arc, and flew back again.

Gao Wen, it's online!

Tapping.

Tatata!
The footsteps are very firm and timely, and in the blink of an eye, he has come to the front of the net, jumping up lightly, from top to bottom, blocking high pressure!
Try to improve the rhythm of returning the ball as much as possible, and don't give Nadal any chance to breathe back.

Then, Nadal flew up, and Gao Wen also flew up. All eyes in the audience were fixed on that tennis ball, and time stopped like this.

A wink.

Everything was back to normal again, the tennis ball slammed hard into the gap in the backhand area on Nadal's right.

Land, bounce, fly high!

Score.

"what!"

"Ahhh!"

Gao Wen's eyes turned red, he jumped up high, and with a Tianma Meteor Fist, he released all the enthusiasm and excitement in his chest without reservation.

This point, this goal, they have really played to the extreme, mobilized all their energy, and completed several offensive and defensive transitions in a blink of an eye.

In the end, he still scored this point and got the match point.

When the road meets, the brave wins.

So, what about the meeting of the brave?

God of War wins!
Facing the Spanish God of War, Gao Wen also showed his unyielding and high spirits, and won his own moment in this stadium with his unparalleled performance.

"Ahhh!"

Gawain released it heartily, his whole brain roared, and he released it to all the audience in Rod Laver Stadium.

Sampras got up, Agassi got up, even Pelt got up.

In the live broadcast room, Zhang Sheng's eyes filled with tears, his hands trembled slightly uncontrollably, and he tried his best to suppress it, but he still couldn't restrain the turbulent surge in his chest.

"incredible!"

"incredible!"

"Both Gao Wen and Nadal have played to the extreme. Both players have mobilized all their energy. This goal is definitely the most exciting and strong substitute so far in this year's Australian Open."

"incredible!"

"Match point!"

"Gao Wen won the first match point of the match with such an unbelievable performance!"

boom!
The entire Rod Laver Stadium is also boiling, no one can be an exception——

Even the Australian fans who hate Gao Wen the most are immersed in the charm of competitive sports at this moment, being on the scene and blending into one.

And who can refuse such a moment?Witness the pride and fire of two players who will push the art of tennis to new heights.

Then, Match Point came along.
