Chapter 1604 On-the-Spot Adjustment

"5:2".

The first game is still going on.

After a brief turbulence at the beginning, the game entered a relatively stable stage. Dimitrov and Gao Wen took turns to hold serve, and neither faced challenges. The total time of the four games was not as good as Gao Wen's first service game. .

In the blink of an eye, after Dimitrov held serve again, the score reached a magical "five to two". Although the point difference seemed huge, it was actually just a break of serve, and the game was still suspenseful.

During the break between games, Gao Wen sat in the players' dugout, his mind spinning at high speed.

So far, Dimitrov's serve has been really good, especially his backhand. He can hit, cut, attack and defend. Like the six-meridian sword of "Dragon Babu", he has intercepted all Gawain's attacks. .

It can be seen that Dimitrov is also fully prepared.

Like Federer's game, Dimitrov also knew that his backhand might be hit intensively, so he needed to make tactical arrangements for his opponent and find a breakthrough to reverse the situation of the game.

Last year, facing Murray and Djokovic successively, Dimitrov's backhand performance shocked everyone. Facing the two top backhand masters in today's tennis, Dimitrov's one-handed backhand performance The racket stood the test and even made Djokovic break out in a sweat in the semifinals.

Today, the same is true.

After getting rid of the baggage, Dimitrov also completely got rid of the sluggishness in the first half of the year. His backhand performance was very good. It was not only stable, but also maintained high-quality ball quality. Both hitting and cutting were able to ensure depth, effectively squeezing Gao Wen. In the fierce confrontation between offense and defense, seize the upper hand.

In the blink of an eye, the game had gone on for seven rounds, and Gawain started to use his brain——

Obviously, Dimitrov has been on guard, and he knows that the backhand position is the key; and, importantly, Dimitrov's backhand performance is indeed excellent, showing good competitive status, if his tactical routine combination If no adjustments are made, it means entering the game mode that Dimitrov is familiar with.

Adjustment is inevitable.

Gao Wen did not intend to make adjustments after losing the first set; even if he still lost the first set, the current tactical adjustments would pave the way for subsequent games.

The point is, how should it be adjusted?

Simply and crudely start attacking Dimitrov's forehand?

Such a strategic adjustment is difficult to work, and the tactical combination of tennis is far from just forehand and backhand; but Gao Wen believes that it can create an illusion, surround Wei and rescue Zhao, cover up the sky and cross the sea, sneak into Chen Cang, and use the forehand tactical layout to confuse the audience. Finally achieve the goal.

"time up."

The ninety-second break between games is fleeting. No matter how the subsequent tactics are adjusted, the first condition is that Gao Wen needs to keep serving——

This was the first set in which he had to hold serve.

If there is a break in this game, then the tactical adjustment will not matter and it will go directly to the second set.

call.

After adjusting his breathing, Gao Wen stood up, constantly activating his legs, and entered the court with high legs, preparing for the confrontation in the subsequent game.

——"Game, high."

Despite losing two points, Dimitrov once caught up to "40:30", but Gao Wen still seized the second game point opportunity and simply completed the guarantee.

"5:3", the next step was Dimitrov's serve to win the set, and it was also Gao Wen's last chance to adjust his tactical test layout in the first set.

"15:0", the serve was straight. Although Gao Wen had touched the tennis ball, the ball was too fast and collided with the racket, and there was no time to finish the shot.

"30:0", although the first serve was out of bounds, Dimitrov increased the strong spin on the second serve, causing Gao Wen to return the ball shallowly. His footsteps kept up very timely, directly entering the baseline, and his forehand was slashed. The big diagonal found the big triangle area of ​​the bottom line on the right side of Gao Wen, and directly hit it to score the winning point.

When serving to win the set, Dimitrov remained calm and clear, scoring the first two points crisply, following his excellent offensive touch in the first set.

Gawain curled his lips slightly——

The most important thing is the serving and receiving process, which is a typical feature of grass.

The addition of grass players to the power of the serve is very obvious. It is fast, flat, heavy and low. The entire strength and rhythm are different. Just this link changes the entire game. It is no wonder that the serve cannons can always hit it here. Shine.

But faced with such a situation, there is no other solution.

Either you have to be patient and wait for the player's physical strength to fluctuate, or the feel of the ball fluctuates, resulting in a decrease in the success rate and power of the serve.

Either by improving his service-receiving package, Djokovic can write a brilliant record at Wimbledon, and the service-receiving technology is crucial.

After adjusting his breathing, he had already reached the first zone, ready to face Dimitrov's serve again.

In this match so far, Dimitrov's serving status in the first zone is very good, especially in the outside corner. It requires an angle, speed and speed, which is perfect; and the first serve goal rate is excellent, and he continues to improve. Gawain applied pressure, maintaining impact and intimidation.

So, what about this point?

Continue to the outside corner?

Gao Wen guessed that with Dimitrov's character and pursuit of perfection, if the outside corner of the first zone performed perfectly today, he would most likely continue to persist; after all, the perfect serve left Gao Wen with very limited room for operation, even if Gao Wen Accurate prediction, but what he can do is very limited.

What's more, now that Dimitrov is "30:0" ahead, he doesn't need to take risks or change, he can just continue to stick to his routine.

The outer corner is indeed a high probability event——

Gawain decided to take a gamble.

So, after consecutive kicks, Gawain moved ahead of time.

When Dimitrov threw the ball, his body was already ready. Almost as soon as the racket touched the ball, Gao Wen rushed out like an arrow.

Right, forehand, outside corner.

really!

The prediction is accurate.

But Gawain was not ecstatic, and remained rational, calm, and focused.

One step, two steps.

With one horizontal cross-step movement, the body was already in position quickly. With a kick of his right leg, an emergency brake controlled the body. A powerful reaction force hit his face like a stormy sea. However, this force became Gawain's boost, and the entire turn The swing is noticeably faster.

Huh!

A roar erupted from the depths of his Dantian, and he struck out with his forehand epee, colliding hard head-on. At the moment he touched the ball, he relied on the strength of his wrist to wrap it up and throw it out at an instant speed, increasing the speed of the racket head to the extreme and using the force to hit the ball. At the same time, exert all your strength, and energy rushes all the way from the soles of your feet.

boom!

Solid, violent, strong, crisp.

Done in one go.

The speed is 123 miles per hour (1 hit on Gawain's racket string, all the speed and all the power are released, and it explodes with a brief touch. Before even having time to blink, the tennis ball has already followed Dimitrov's service line. The road back is like a rocket.

--boom.

--Snapped.

He landed, rebounded, got into the blind corner, and tore through Dimitrov's defense. Before he could even recover his steps, the tennis ball had already passed by his feet and bombarded him all the way.

Return the serve to ACE!
