Match Point - Chapter 1413

Kick the ground, stride.

Come forward, assault.

Without any warning, very suddenly, Gao Wen’s footsteps had already entered the bottom line. Facing Nadal’s forehand slashing the angle and returning the ball, it was obvious that Gao Wen had already prepared early, and the connection to the Internet was very smooth and smooth. Very light, just three steps into the midfield area.

Not only did he not evade, but he also took the initiative to go forward—

Finally seized the opportunity.

When Nadal is in good form, opponents are often pushed to the bottom line without breathing room, because his deep forehand shots are very impactful and oppressive, and it is difficult for opponents to parry.

Naturally, when Nadal occasionally hits the ball in the shallow area, the opponent dare not rush to the net. First, he needs to worry that Nadal will easily “overturn” the opponent when he hits the ball in the deep area with the next forehand; In the future, we need to worry about Nadal creating a trap to lure his opponent to attack online, and then Nadal will break the net.

Federer has eaten such a boring loss more than once.

but.

When Nadal is not in good condition, the suppression and impact of the deep forehand hit is not enough, so he can’t “press” the opponent; he often tends to use the super topspin in the shallow area to control the line layout. After all, now Most players stick to the bottom line and rarely take the initiative to go online. He can still buy more time and space for himself.

Gao Wen was no exception.

Although Sampras has been cultivating Gao Wen’s pre-net awareness since the offseason last year, he still needs more time to adapt to some habits, skills and tactics. What’s more, the clay court is not for surfing in the first place. The best venue, the change of tactical routines is not something that happens overnight.

However, after experiencing the Madrid game, plus the first and second sets of today’s game, Gao Wen has been reading and analyzing the game. He also noticed that Nadal’s forehand hitting habits this season are obviously lacking. Confident, at least compared with last year’s imperial capital and this year’s Melbourne, the proportion of shallow areas has increased.

Originally, Gao Wen thought that this was the detailed adjustment of Nadal’s clay court tactics, and the rearrangement of landing points and routes, but slowly, he realized:

Maybe, this is an opportunity.

Of course, he needs to take risks, but Gao Wen is not a reckless personality, he will use his own layout to increase the chance of victory for his adventures.

As if at this time—

Backhand with both hands, lead the shot early.

Following the trend of the body rushing forward, the speed, strength, and weight are all superimposed together, and the timing of the step and the determination to start are all just right.

pedal.

rush.

When he took the initiative to face forward, Gao Wen had already faced the rotation of the tennis ball with a backhand with both hands. At this time, he could clearly see that the rotation was completely released after the tennis ball bounced off the ground, and the rotation became faster and higher. Reaching the peak, the sense of squeeze and impact is just like this.

swing.

extrusion.

Step up.

With the help of the inertia of the run-up and the weight of his body, Gao Wen grabbed a rising point.

Without waiting for the rotation to be released further, or for the rotation to slow down and relax, it hits head-on at the high point.

ah!

In an instant, the power is released, and following the direction of the tennis ball, the force is pressed down and the body rushes forward. At the same time, the wrist flexibly and lightly flicks outward.

Forward, a push.

-boom!

It can be clearly seen that Gao Wen did not choose to use force to fight, but took the initiative to exert force, forming a comprehensive suppression of force, and forcibly completing the line change.

boom.

With a crisp sound of hitting the ball, the tennis ball flew out.

straight line.

blind spot.

Land, score.

“ah!”

Following the release of the force, Gao Wen continued to charge forward, then jumped high, soaring into the air, clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it high.

“Ah! Ahhh!”

The fighting spirit is high and the blood is boiling.

Fight, fight, fight.

Fight until the last drop of blood and energy is consumed.

“ah!”

The fourth break point and inventory, once again made a strong recovery.

From the first shot of the serve, Gao Wen completely controlled the situation in his hands, taking the initiative to attack, apply pressure and attack actively.

In the end, Nadal’s foot was nailed to the forehand, and he didn’t have time to move—

Because he thought that Gao Wen might continue to hit his forehand again, he was ready to fight back.

However, Gao Wen did not.

In fact, Gao Wen anticipated this possibility. Maybe Nadal is not in the best state of forehand now, but don’t forget that when he was young, Nadal was famous for his jedi counterattack. The more passive, the more difficult, the more extreme. On the contrary, Nadal is more able to hit the fairy ball.

Especially in the forehand position.

When Nadal is pushed to the extreme, acting on instinct and experience, he can often show his talent and potential.

Therefore, Gao Wen took the lead in changing—

Two consecutive shots suppressed the forehand, and the final winning point was a breakthrough from the backhand.

He succeeded.

This is the fourth time that Gao Wen played against Nadal in his career. The previous three experiences can sum up a core key:

Backhand, backhand, backhand.

It is precisely because Nadal’s forehand is unparalleled in the world, he was able to suppress Federer, Djokovic was able to suppress him, and Federer was able to counter him, all of which stemmed from the group of “Nadal’s forehand VS opponent’s backhand” counterpoint.

In other words, facing Nadal, first of all, your backhand must be able to withstand the continuous attack from Nadal’s forehand, otherwise you will be very passive.

This game is no exception, Nadal’s forehand is still the key—

In the first two sets, Gao Wen’s tactics revolved around the backhand, relying on his own backhand to withstand the attack, and then seeking a breakthrough from Nadal’s backhand.

The tactics are effective. The stalemate between the two sides has never been able to widen the gap. The suspense of the outcome is still not clear, but Nadal relies on his own clay court experience and understanding of Philippe Chatier. , faintly seizing a little advantage.

Now at the end of the second set, Gao Wen thinks that his tactics need to be adjusted slightly. He should try to suppress Nadal’s forehand and seek a breakthrough.

This is not to say that Nadal’s forehand has become a weakness. Obviously, the forehand’s stalemate ability is still the key for Nadal to only bite the game; but Gao Wen believes that Nadal’s forehand is not stable and strong enough, and may be able to Become a breakthrough for yourself to break Nadal’s belief in victory.

He needs to trust his own judgment, and he needs to trust his own backhand.

“ah!”

Roaring and venting are not only to celebrate saving the fourth set point, but also to cheer for yourself and believe that your strategy is correct.

In the audience, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com was boiling.

Across the court, Nadal was a little disappointed and shook his head slightly.

It was obvious at a glance that he was dissatisfied with the quality of his forehand. Obviously, compared to Gao Wen, he knew his state better than anyone else, and he also knew how he should adjust and change.

The game between the two players is still going on—

At least, this game has not yet decided the winner.

“40:40”.

This round has been entangled for a full eight minutes, and it looks like it will break through nine minutes, but it is still a tie, and the next point is still a key point.

Nadal, still calm and focused, adjusted after a brief disappointment and continued to focus on the next point.

Gao Wen also quickly regained his composure, his overheated brain cooled down again, and began to plan for the next point.

The crisis has not been resolved.
