Match point

Chapter 979
Tapping.

There is a rope ladder under the feet, and the light footsteps move in small steps in an orderly manner:
Center, left, center; advance one space, center, right, center; advance one space again.

Every time the two feet must be in place accurately, the toes touch the ground, and then move to the next step, with both precision and speed, rejecting any sloppy.

Continuous small steps are dazzling, and the eyes can hardly keep up with the speed of the footsteps. Instead, when you close your eyes, you can feel the footsteps moving like a sewing machine. It is neat, uniform, and efficient. The touch of the toes and the ground is like a butterfly Like dancing, light and graceful.

After a rope ladder came to the end, his left foot paused, his right hand held the racket tightly, and he swung the racket——

Across the field, Pelt was feeding the ball.

kick the ground!

Turn!

Swing!

boom!
The impact of the racket and the tennis ball made a solid sound, and the tennis ball quickly flew towards the other side of the net——

On the opposite court, there are red plastic frisbees placed one by one as targets, which seem to be scattered in an orderly manner.

Each Frisbee represents a landing point, and their layout does not fall in the corners, but in different positions on the court, and no rules can be found.

The purpose of this training is to emphasize control and landing, but in comparison, control is more important. When the foot is in a state of bumpy movement, the center of gravity is unstable, how to control the shot, and through Gao Wen's brain, the tennis Delivering to the target you expect is the key point.

Pelt glanced back at where Gawain hit the ball, and there was a trace of satisfaction in his eyes, but his mouth still did not relax.

"Toe!"

"Keep light on your toes."

"Calf strength, core strength, watch the ball."

"Knees, feel the rebound in your knees, keep your toes and knees flexible."

"Don't practice hard, think, feel, and your brain will follow."

Tatata!
On the opposite side of the field, after Gao Wen finished hitting the ball, he kicked his right leg, and his body was activated for the second time, returning to the rope ladder and moving towards the other side.

Repeat routine.

The essence of daily training is to repeat, repeat, repeat, and repeat the same thing boringly. This is also an important reason for the difficulty of training. It requires not only physical strength and energy, but also perseverance. I can't hold on anymore.

However, Gao Wen persisted well.

To be precise, it is not only good, but excellent, which is the fundamental reason why Pelt likes Gao Wen——

attitude decides everything.

After the U.S. Open last year, there was a lot of turmoil, including Tobias, who was also a little anxious, so that Gao Wen's training was interrupted for a long time, which directly caused Gao Wen's state to be in a downturn for nearly two months, and his overall competitiveness and resistance declined. It's all very obvious.

This year at the Australian Open, Gao Wen and the entire team have learned a lesson.

Although there are still countless invitations for off-site activities, and they are flocking from all directions; but Tobias checks every level and controls both quantity and quality.

Originally, Hugh Jackman invited Gawain to attend a private Hollywood party in Los Angeles. It was the public relations moment of the Oscars season. Those private parties must be full of stars and rich clothes, but Gawain still refused after all. No interest in these high-class parties.

For this, Jackman deeply regrets, but fully understands.

"Next time, I hope we can meet in Los Angeles, so that I have the honor to compete with you on the tennis court."

After finishing a series of publicity activities in Melbourne, Gao Wen went to Monte Carlo, where he shot the latest promotional film for Nike, and accepted interviews from many top media, drawing the last promotional campaign for the Australian Open. Full stop, and then a short break.

It just so happened that Nadal's private yacht was docked in Monte Carlo, and Gao Wen was fortunate to be invited to go fishing with Nadal and enjoy a leisurely vacation.

Knowing the news that Gao Wen was in Monte Carlo, C-Ronaldo called and invited Gao Wen to visit his home, but considering that the La Liga season was in progress, Gao Wen declined the invitation. Instead, Gao Wen got Invitation to the VIP box at the Bernabéu Stadium, to watch the game live.

Witnessed by 2 fans, Real Madrid beat Deportivo 0-[-] at home.

The night before, I was still feeling the frenzy and madness of football in Madrid.

The next day, my feet were already standing on the UCLA training ground and running wildly.

After accumulating experience, Gao Wen's rest adjustment plan was slightly adjusted this time.

After resting for a whole week, Gao Wen has slowly started recovery training, but the rhythm still hasn't picked up.

After just five days of adjustments, the holiday officially came to an end, and daily basic training began to be put on the agenda.

Therefore, while waiting to return to Los Angeles, the Australian season has been left behind, and it is time to prepare for the North American season in the spring——

Starting from next week, the final carnival of the hard court season in the first half of the year will kick off, and all players will return to the court one after another.

step by step.

Step by step.

Going through the roller-coaster Australian Open, Gao Wen has slowly completed his adjustments.

Today is only the third day after returning to Los Angeles, and Gao Wen's batting and movement have basically returned to normal.

In this regard, Pelt is very satisfied.

"very good!"

"good performance!"

"Next, the last group, speed up!"

"Fastest speed!"

"Speed ​​up! Crack! Crack! Crack! Get up! Get up! Quick, quick!"

With Pelt's shout, the rhythm of clapping continues to increase, and then you can see——

The dazzled footsteps speed up again, comparable to Lingbo microsteps, as if pressing the double speed button, only a piece of light and shadow can be seen, but the balance and stability are always maintained.

kick!
One turn!
Hit the ball, done.

boom!
Pelt followed Gawain's shot and turned to look over:

Hit the target without error.

Pretty!

A trace of satisfaction flashed in Pelt's eyes, "Take a break for 5 minutes and adjust your breathing."

Gao Wen walked to the edge of the court, grabbed a towel and wiped it casually, then raised his water glass, and drank water in small sips——

Even if you are thirsty, you must avoid swallowing large mouthfuls, because that is not conducive to absorption and digestion, so developing the habit of drinking water and replenishing energy with small sips is also a detail of the competition content.

Especially after experiencing the humid, hot and dreary hell weather in Melbourne, the importance of these details for the peak match was further highlighted.

While drinking water, while walking, let the heart rate gradually slow down.

"...The whole training intensity is still rising a little bit, and I feel that my physical fitness is dropping a little bit." Gawain said to Pelt.

Pelter nodded. After all, the time to resume training was too short, and the intensity suddenly increased. Although Gao Wen was able to carry it, the consumption rate still couldn't keep up. "I will adjust the training volume next, and focus on the gym in the afternoon."

Looking at Gao Wen with focused eyes, Pelt couldn't help persuading him, "There's no need to worry, our rhythm is pretty good now."

Gao Wen laughed straight away, "I didn't expect that I could hear you persuading me to slow down the pace of training one day, Martin, something is not quite right."
