Chapter 1721 Get Rid of Distracting Thoughts

Back and forth, back and forth——

It is purely a basic batting warm-up, without any skills or tricks. Just like a pre-game warm-up, the main purpose is to warm up the muscles.

This is basic enough for any tennis player, and yet, the training ground gradually became lively.

One, two, three or four, and then evolved into groups. After learning the rumors, the crowds who came one after another to watch instantly surrounded the training ground on three levels and three levels outside, even if it was just the most basic and simple attack. The ball warm-up is equally attractive and no one wants to miss it.

This is the current appeal of Gawain. His charm and style are becoming a new banner for tennis and opening up a different world.

It can be clearly seen from the sight that many people come with pens and paper or large tennis balls, and some people come wearing the latest Nike jersey of Gao Wen for Wimbledon. You can tell at a glance that they are ready to ask for autographs; the people on the scene can't wait to raise it. The crowds of people taking photos and videos with their mobile phones are even more bustling.

Lively, crowded, crazy.

Who would have thought that just a mere appearance, or even a special training, would cause such a turmoil on the Westwood campus.

Gawain and Macdonald, however, remained focused and unaffected.

In fact, in the middle part, Macdonald was a little distracted and obviously had no control over his hitting. However, Gao Wen quickly used the control of strength and landing point to form a pressing reminder, drawing Macdonald's attention back, and the two of them devoted themselves to the warm-up. In the meantime, keep hitting the ball.

Regarding games, Gawain is serious——

In his opinion, Macdonald's only problem is that he is too serious and serious, and there is no longer any enjoyment and immersion. Tennis has become a burden. His mind is not not thinking but overloaded with thinking, which naturally leads to a series of chain consequences. reaction, the status will not be released.

Let alone the U.S. Championship game, even in the training shot just now, MacDonald's prediction was a mess.

Now, they just need a little "game" attitude.

After a short warm-up, Gawain began to control the line——

left side. Right.

left side. Right.

The entire line has not changed, it is purely a left and right adjustment, accompanied by changes in details:

Firstly, the landing point is slowly approaching the sideline; secondly, the hitting technique is constantly changing, including hitting, chipping, topspin, backspin, sliding, and lofting. Anyway, every time the ball is hit, it is constantly changing.

At the beginning, Macdonald didn't know why. He thought that Gawain was just here to do some activities. Obviously this was not a formal training. Naturally, he controlled the return of the ball a little and kept returning to the middle without mobilizing Gawain. It’s equivalent to feeding a ball——

As a result, Gawain's batting control is more controllable.

Slowly, slowly, MacDonald began to fall into passivity. When he reacted, he tried to reverse the situation through his own return, but found that his footsteps and shots were somewhat unable to keep up, making it difficult to change his line, and finally returned the ball. Let’s go back to the middle area.

Becoming more and more passive.

The situation fell completely into Gawain's control.

However, Macdonald did not realize the abnormality——

Martin, noticed, bystanders know better.

Gawain's hitting technique has been changing, but the line has not. He moved left and right first, left and right, left and right, and never broke the routine.

Is it because Gawain doesn't have the ability to change lanes?

Obviously not.

It's because Gawain is training, warming up, and mobilizing MacDonald purposefully.

Involuntarily, Martin remembered the discussion he and Gawain had just discussed about MacDonald——

Because of the confusion of thoughts, there is no prediction, so I just chase the ball. The entire hitting point becomes more and more lagging, and the shot becomes more and more difficult. In the end, I am simply torturing myself, but I can never reverse the situation. The so-called defense is ineffective defense. , waiting in vain for the opponent to make a mistake.

Now, Gao Wen returns to the most basic batting line of tennis training through control and layout:

Run back and forth from side to side.

There's no change, just constant back and forth, constant back and forth on both ends of the court.

Players have already developed body memory for running back and forth from the baseline. Every sudden stop, turn, and second start is a conditioned reflex. The brain does not need to predict or plan, it becomes purely an instinct. In this way, it can Get rid of all the distracting thoughts in your mind and focus on hitting the ball.

He was also chasing the ball, but the overall rhythm and smoothness of the connection were significantly improved. It should have become more and more passive and difficult, but Martin could clearly see that the quality of MacDonald's batting was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Climb slowly.

Although it is still unable to escape Gawain's control, the balance of confrontation is slowly returning to balance.

Instant results!

Martin, eyes full of surprise.

It's not that Martin couldn't think of this, but the communication between players is still slightly different, and Gao Wen and Macdonald are friends, and they are more familiar with and understand each other's personalities. Gao Wen just used a warm-up training to MacDonald drags himself into a simple rhythm.

Everything, back to square one.

MacDonald's batting quality, speed, power, ball quality, etc. are all eye-catching.

Both Martin and Gao Wen know that MacDonald is a player with very solid basic skills. Perhaps he is not top-notch in terms of speed and power, but his batting is very "honest", and his impact and pressure can guarantee a certain quality. , and both offense and defense are balanced.

When the game gets into MacDonald's rhythm, his hitting can cause a lot of havoc.

boom!

Snapped!

Tennis, back and forth at both ends of the court——

MacDonald didn't understand what was happening, but he had slowly entered the state. Even though he kept moving at both ends of the baseline, his shots became smoother and smoother.

Gradually, Gawain could feel the pressure. He also moved left and right, and his strength and speed control at the moment of release gradually improved.

Tap tap, tap tap tap.

Macdonald's speed has increased to the extreme. From the backhand to the forehand, with the body fully extended, he used the power of the sprint to completely throw the body out. The forehand was thrown at the extreme position, and the speed of the racket head increased to A whole new level, knocking the tennis ball back.

Huh!

At the scene, exclamations of exclamation could be clearly heard.

For training purposes, the quality of the shots in this round was really eye-opening.

The tennis ball was pushed toward the other side of the court like a rocket. Then MacDonald controlled his steps and rushed to the backhand position again. This has formed a conditioned reflex. His body control is perfect, and his second start is quick. Finish.

In his sight, Macdonald saw that his return had a strong impact, obviously squeezing Gawain.

Unfortunately, the return point is still in the middle.

Then you can see Gawain tilting his upper body back slightly, using a difficult technique of half rebound and half pull with his forehand, and his forearm and wrist are quickly lifted and flicked.

It’s an understatement and easy to pick up.

Totally effortless.

But the tennis ball darted towards Macdonald's backhand like a meteor, and then disappeared.

MacDonald's speed had increased to the extreme, but he could only see the tennis ball falling into the corner of his backhand baseline. He had no chance at all.

One round comes to an end.
