Match point

Chapter 912 Rhythm Control
Run sideways.

Speeding up.

Although Murray's moving pace is still a little slower, but the left and right lateral movements are balanced and regular, and there is no need to make sudden stops and turns. He only relies on inertia and footsteps to complete the movement. The impact of physical strength is not obvious, so , he still arrived just in time:
One-handed backhand, cut a strong backspin, rushed to the diagonal and hit the diagonal.

Defensive cutting.

heh!
There was a burst of exclamation from the audience.

Because the quality of Murray's defensive shots is very good, the seemingly understated one-shot slices, and the precise pressure line; moreover, the backspin and side spin allow the tennis ball to continue to rush outward after landing, and the situation is reversed in an instant.

The effect is outstanding.

Facing the break point, Murray, who was under extremely difficult circumstances, still improved his form and seemed to be staggering, but his shots always made Gao Wen feel uncomfortable.

In this way, Gao Wen's surprise attack was dispelled invisible. Instead, during the lateral movement, Murray's return kicked his feet out of the backhand singles line again, and he had to stand in the doubles area to complete the return.

Moreover, the hitting position of the two-handed backhand is too high, and the rotation cannot be completely suppressed, and a slash is hit, but it still lacks some threats.

The arc is raised high and rotates at high speed in the long and bright lights, and the quality of the shot obviously failed to meet expectations.

"what……"

The Rod Laver Stadium crowd's heart was in its throat as strengths and weaknesses continued to shift with each shot.

But this time—

opportunity!

Murray's chance.

In an instant, the scream that was just about to burst out was crushed in his throat, and he watched the court intently, and the heat wave of the whole court rushed towards Murray.

Murray's footsteps are still in his backhand position, which also means that Gao Wen's return ball is delivered to his hands, and he does not need to move in a wide range.

After continuous adjustments in small steps, Murray has found the hitting point without any mistakes, immediately set up a backhand with both hands, and hit the tennis back with a sweeping shot.

Return the ball and repeat the drop.

Murray noticed that Gawain's feet didn't move, but instead of taking the risk of changing lanes, he attacked with repeated deep-zone shots.

Flat shot!
With this shot, Murray hit directly, fast and heavy, like a feathered arrow, across the field, aiming at Gao Wen's backhand to hit the big triangle on the bottom line.

It can be seen again from here that Murray's confidence——

Every shot is aimed at the corners. Although the impact of power is lacking, the control of the landing point and the layout of the line can really change the situation.

Gao Wen's footsteps were squeezed again.

In fact, Gao Wen only needs to take one or two steps back to adjust the swing space, and the whole hitting movement will be smooth.

But Gao Wen knew that this was Murray's tactical intention:

Repeatedly hitting the ball from the deep zone and returning the ball pushed down Gao Wen's position, forcing Gao Wen's batting rhythm to slow down, and then re-formed Murray's favorite baseline round tug-of-war.

Gao Wen, refuse.

It's not impossible, the first two sets were played like this; it's the need for tactical adjustments.

But see.

Gao Wen still stood on the baseline, put his hands backhanded by his side, leaned on the outside of his left thigh, and accurately found Murray's hitting point.

With both hands, stop.

At the same time, with a slight twist of the wrist, and with the leaning back of the body's center of gravity, the whole lifting action brushes the tennis ball up quickly, and you can even clearly feel the friction of each racket string hitting the tennis ball.

Bass mist.

Everything happened between lightning and flint.

Then, the tennis ball is already flying out.

straight line!

It turned out to be a straight line!
In such a difficult and anxious situation, Gao Wen once again showed his boldness and courage. Not only did he not retreat, but he also dared to change his line.

Delicate feel, light inspiration, graceful control.

At this moment, Gao Wen showed his unique talent for tennis, and the whole Rod Laver Stadium screamed uncontrollably.

Ah!
Unexpectedly, never expected, such imaginative and executive shots fully demonstrated the charm of tennis.

Tennis, flying through the air.

The arc is a little high; the speed is a little slow; but the line is precise, moving straight along the sideline.

It should have been Murray's chance, but Murray didn't directly hit hard——

In other words, Murray has already played hard, but the weakness of the offensive end caused his offense to fail to achieve the expected effect.

So Gao Wen immediately reversed the situation and regained the initiative.

Murray was a little flustered.

There was a big shift in the universe, from the backhand position to the forehand position, and then I realized that there is no problem with the footsteps in place, but the bounce of the return ball is really too high. When Murray is in place, the rebound height is already near the top of the head. This simply did not leave room for Murray to swing.

Murray, very, very awkwardly parallel to his temples, hits the ball with a lot of spin and barely finishes a transition shot.

Slash!

Murray also mobilized Gao Wen.

At this moment, it can be seen that Gao Wen has launched two lightning attacks in a row. The first three points of this round were scored in this way, but after the break point, Murray improved his state, and the overall defensive quality returned to the standard. Defended two lightning attacks, and then formed a stalemate.

Murray's favorite stalemate.

The situation is stalemate again.

This time, the two players faced off for two shots in the forehand position, and then Murray chose a straight line with a transitional shot, adjusted the layout, and transferred Gao Wen to the backhand.

Between you and me, the backhand formed a stalemate again, one shot!Two beats!

Murray realized that Gao Wen was about to launch an attack. This time, he took the lead in pulling a large diagonal diagonal line, which was light and thin, and the landing point was near the bottom line of the teeing area, directly pulling Gao Wen out of the field.

Unexpectedly, Gao Wen further opened up the angle, and the return ball landed in the shallow area of ​​the service area, further pulling the diagonal return ball to an extreme angle.

heh!
The exclamation surged again.

One second, he was amazed by Murray's clever shot; the next second, he was amazed by Gao Wen's bold return.

Murray's footsteps have not only left the doubles zone, but also entered the first half——

Because Gao Wen's hitting angle is too big, the incident angle has almost reached the level of 150 degrees, and if it continues, the hitting line will almost be parallel to the net.

I have to say that Gao Wen's shot selection in this round was really ingenious and amazing. The delicate touch and surging inspiration were amazing.

So, what about Murray?
Standing on the edge of the cliff, Murray showed his demeanor of a Grand Slam champion.

In the desperate situation of staggering footsteps and messy center of gravity, Murray did not choose to hit the ball vigorously, but used a backhand with both hands to cut a thin and thin ball.

Yes, little ball.

The tennis ball circled into the field from the outside of the post, lightly and nimbly, like a mischievous elf, and landed in Gao Wen's forehand teeing area.

gently.Shallowly.

Perfect.

It can be called fatal!

A small ball, and it was a short line, not only resolved Gao Wen's crisis of hitting the ball, but also put Gao Wen in a desperate situation——

One foot has been pushed out to the edge of the cliff.

You come and go, you don't give an inch. In the eighth game of the third set, because of Gao Wen's sudden appearance and Murray's adaptability, unbelievable sparks burst out.

It's breathtakingly wonderful.
