Chapter 1614 Superior Skills

step, move sideways——

In just one step, Gao Wen's steps were already in place. At this time, we can see the impact of the lack of polish on the details of Dimitrov's second serve.

tread!

Stepping with his left leg to support his body, Gawain did not hesitate or waver. The entire bat swing followed the turning movement and struck out powerfully in one go.

boom!

The two-handed backhand shot is very solid and tough, with full force. Even after the shot is completed, you can see that the body continues to turn to complete the entire swing. Dimitrov's second serve lacks a threat. It hits back like a cannonball, creating the visual effect of a home run.

The whole audience exclaimed.

The tennis ball, carried by the wind, crossed the entire court and reached Dimitrov's backhand along the diagonal.

Dimitrov, who had just completed his serve, felt the strong wind of the attack blowing towards his face before his steps could return.

The steps were obviously hasty, and it was impossible to fully adjust in a short period of time. He was barely in place in a hurry, but his body had no time and space to stretch.

At this time, the advantages of the one-handed backhand were brought into play again. Dimitrov leaned forward with his entire body, chipped with one hand, and successfully touched the ball before the tennis ball hit the ground.

Well.

Dimitrov groaned, but had no time to rejoice. After finishing the shot, he adjusted in small steps, re-positioned, re-judged the position, re-examined the situation on the court, and slowed down the entire ball speed and rhythm with his backhand chipping, creating a better environment for him. Gain valuable time and be able to relax a little.

Tap tap, tap tap——

Dimitrov's muscles were tense all over his body, and he stared at Gawain with burning eyes. At a glance, he could see that Gawain was ready to go like a fully drawn bow and arrow. Gawain, who was standing in the backhand position, had already locked his position in advance and was ready. Attack in the next shot, but the key is, which direction will Gawain choose?

Forehand? Backhand?

From the perspective of the whole game, backhand is a high probability event; but from the past four games, Gao Wen repeatedly broke through from the forehand and reversed the situation.

However, whether it is a forehand or a backhand, this is a probabilistic event. Gauvin's batting layout is often full of changes, and he continues to break the routine. If Dimitrov falls into one pattern, Gauvin will choose another pattern. , this is also the most brilliant part of Gawain's game.

More importantly, Dimitrov didn't have time to think. He couldn't spend thirty minutes making a decision after careful consideration. Everything had to be done in an instant. Therefore, he had to trust his intuition without hesitation or hesitation——

Gambling, guessing, guessing.

Not in any way, but sometimes in competitive sports you have to trust your instincts, which is as much a part of the game as luck.

With one step and one step, Dimitrov made a fake move towards the forehand position, but then went back again and stayed in the backhand position to defend.

The next second——

boom!

Gawain, hit the ball.

Backhand.

Calculation and gaming, guessing and prediction, the two players must continue to compete in the ever-changing game, but this time, Gawain's opposite approach fell into Dimitrov's judgment, so Gawain His backhand attack fell into Dimitrov's arms, and sparks flew out in an instant.

With one brake and one forward, Dimitrov's one-handed backhand shot was graceful and light. His whole body was completely stretched, as if you could see the hunting wind leaving a trail on the white clothes like water, and even just Even the strands of hair are dancing gracefully, a pure enjoyment.

Turn to defense! To attack!

nice!

The most exciting and watchable part of the men's game is here. One shot can turn the situation from defense to offense. The transition between offense and defense is undoubtedly the watershed between ordinary players and top players, and the Big Four's The strength lies in their ability to do better.

Seeing that Dimitrov was passive due to the weakness of his second serve, but in the blink of an eye, he turned the situation around with a one-handed backhand.

So, what about Gawain?

Don't give in an inch!

With solid steps and a steady center of gravity, he didn't give in at all and faced forward with a strong backhand with both hands.

This time, Gao Wen did not draw the racket in a big way. Instead, he tightened his batting action as much as possible, pulled the racket in a small area, used the force to hit, and relied on the sweeping movement of his wrist to separate the angle——

The slash is still a slash, but the landing point is shallower and the angle is larger. In this way, the counterattack is launched.

Strong, tough, strong, the collision of strength and strength, the backhand and backhand duel, seems to have returned to the familiar pattern in the first half of the game.

Dimitrov was completely unafraid and had already been fully prepared; what's more, when discussing the angle of backhand duel, one-handed backhand is the absolute king.

The landing point of Gao Wen's return ball was very, very close to the sideline, a big step away from the baseline. The angle of the break directly pulled Dimitrov away from the singles sideline and quickly approached the doubles sideline.

But I saw that Dimitrov had already reached the position smoothly with one step. He faced forward with his upper body, flipped the backhand with one hand, and struck down from the high point of the shoulder. His arms were completely stretched out in a circle, which could be clearly felt. The tension and flexibility of the chest open, and the power instantly bursts out with a wave of air.

Huh!

The entire audience exclaimed, but before the sound could surge, it was automatically cut off due to shock and astonishment, and in the blink of an eye it fell into silence again.

In a head-to-head duel between strength and speed, Dimitrov did not fall behind with his one-handed backhand. His whole body condition was raised to the extreme, and he further opened up the angle. He not only fought back powerfully, but also further launched his attack. For the third time in a row, The second shot puts pressure on Gawain from the backhand position.

This time, Dimitrov's return ball landed in the small triangle on the bottom line of the service area. It was almost equivalent to an excellent outside corner serve. It jumped out towards the doubles sideline and directly pulled Gawain completely out of the court. The field cleared completely and Dimitrov regained the upper hand.

Of course, Dimitrov was not so relaxed, because the force he exerted was also due to the tearing angle, the centrifugal force and inertia pulled the body to continue to rush outwards, and the center of gravity was unstable. He also paid the price and was unable to return to the court to complete the task as soon as possible. He also needs some time for follow-up actions.

The same goes for Gawain.

So, how would Gawain respond in such a situation?

Tear the angle further? Seeing that it has been torn to the extreme angle, can it still be pulled apart?

Or break the routine and attack in a straight line?

But the trap of this shot is that Gawain's body has been completely pulled out of the field. If he chooses to go straight——

First, you need to face a relatively short straight space. If you are not careful, the hitting line will be too long and lead to out of bounds.

The second one needs to face the referee chair on this side. It is like a huge obstacle lying on the straight line. The passage is basically equivalent to the level of a line of sky.

So, how would Gawain choose, or in other words, how should Gawain choose?

Dimitrov did go to the extreme and dug a big hole for Gawain.

The whole audience was watching, but they saw Gawain kicking his feet, squatting down, turning his backhand into a cut with both hands, making a side cut, and finishing the shot——

small ball.
