Chapter 1737 Self-Doubt

Squeezing, colliding, and rushing——

Giron's forehand had no room to swing. Although the alarm sounded, it was already too late. The forehand barely managed to hit the shot. It was all supported by the feel of the hand, but the entire return line and parabola could not be pushed forward. There is no way to push Gao Wen back to the bottom line, just like hitting a wall.

Gao Wen did not need to cooperate with the net. He continued to take a step forward, standing completely within the baseline, and attacked with a forehand shot from the midfield:

Forehand diagonal, sweep shot, inside-out.

A standard diagonal attack across the court with full firepower.

The third consecutive forehand shot, the third consecutive slash shot, the same line and the same position, but the rhythm, speed, power and technique are all different.

From a comparison, it can be clearly seen that Gawain's control and grasp of rhythm has completely opened up the situation in terms of time and space.

In this shot, Gao Wen finally took the initiative to exert force, easily opened the angle, and hit the diagonal forehand towards Giron's forehand dead center.

Like a missile.

Jilong's footsteps didn't have time to move at all, and he was still standing on his forehand position——

Generally speaking, this is considered a wait and it is worth shouting "good luck"; however, this is not the case.

The speed of the forehand shot was completely unable to keep up. As soon as the swing movement started, the tennis ball was already rushing over. I hurriedly started to swing the racket. I was still thinking about how to fight back. Then I realized that the racket was too late. By the time the racket is closed, tennis has evolved into a soaring cannon.

It can be seen from Giron's stance that the swing remains open and there is no way to complete the shot.

This point belongs to Gawain——

The bottom line was in a stalemate, but in the end it still failed to take shape.

After a brief tug-of-war in the early stage, Gawain suddenly changed his forehand position, adjusting the rhythm without any warning or trace. From the depth of the landing point to the change in speed to the use of rotation and power, the subversion was completed in an instant. In the end, The score was capped off within eight overs.

And, the serve was successfully maintained.

From being behind at "0:30", he scored four points in a row and easily maintained serve.

The point is!

Everything happened too fast.

Before he could blink, Gawain had successfully escaped from the predicament and regained control of the situation, sweeping past his eyes like a tornado.

Jilong blinked and stood there, his head full of questions: What happened in this game just now? Who can explain it to him?

He needs silence.

Just in time, the rest is next, and Jilong needs to collect his thoughts.

but……

Obviously, it's not easy. To be more precise, it's very, very difficult.

Don't say that "the authorities are obsessed with the bystander," even Macdonald and the commentators were unable to see a reason for a while. It was difficult to accurately describe the tactical changes that led to Gao Wen scoring four points in a row. Sound the alarm to become aware of changes in the battle situation.

In fact, it can be seen from the side that Gao Wen's understanding and control of the game have reached a new level, further improving his advantages. Now he has entered the next level. Even if he faces difficulties or deadlocks, Gao Wen can find more solutions. Method to complete the resolution.

It is not surprising that Geelong, who is "in the middle of it", lacks the guidance and help of coaches and has not found the answer for the time being.

call!

Jilong took a long breath and finally came to a conclusion:

He is still in the lead and has a break advantage. There is no need to panic or worry, just continue his tactics.

Fight, keep fighting!

In a blink of an eye, the inter-inning break was over.

"2:1" leading, Geelong's serve.

——"0:15".

It was a bad start. On the first point, Geelong made a mistake and returned the ball to the net. Before the ball became deadlocked in the round, he handed over a point.

Jiron turned his back to Gawain and used the time to wipe his sweat to regain some composure.

"Patience. Be patient."

“Pay attention to ball quality, pay attention to depth.”

"Guarantee the quality of return."

Jilong secretly clenched his fists to encourage himself.

In the last game, he lost four points in a row to ruin the second break opportunity. This was also the first threshold he encountered after improving his condition in the second game, which caused some fluctuations in his mentality.

Despite this, Giron still has confidence, he's feeling hot, he's in good shape, he believes in himself, and most importantly, he's ready to fight.

Taking another deep breath, Jiron was ready.

Second District.

Outside corner, backhand.

The routine is a routine, but it works as long as it works. Jilong successfully suppressed Gawain's backhand with his first serve from the outside corner. Although the connection of the next forehand attack was still a little impatient and did not completely separate the angle of the forehand diagonal, but The good offensive effect still made Gawain passive.

Round, it was a stalemate.

It's said to be a round, but overall, Jilong took the initiative to attack——

From the beginning of the serve, Jilong's concentration has been raised to the highest level. He once again showed the hot touch since the second set. The rhythm and state of the entire movement, shot, and touch of the ball are very, very good, fast and heavy, covering the entire court. , and continues to launch impact through the pressure of the ball quality and line.

Moreover, all attacks were aimed at the corners. Because they were confident, they took bold shots, and all remote and tricky angles were within bounds.

Taking the initiative and completely controlling it here in Jilong really didn't give Gawain any chance.

If you see this round at this time, you will not wonder why Geelong took the lead at the beginning of the second set. Instead, you will start to wonder why Geelong has never heard of Geelong’s name before, and why Geelong has waited until now to usher in an ATP level event. First win, obviously this is not normal.

Gao Wen has been looking for opportunities, but Geelong's airtight and mission-critical offensive connection does not leave any gaps, covering the entire field.

But is there really no chance?

Gawain doesn't think so.

Tap tap tap, tap tap tap——

Moving, sprinting, getting in position, it's still passive defense, but this time, Gawain made a slight change.

Forehand cutting.

Slash, deep zone, almost no parabola, a typical backspin fastball.

In the defensive situation, Gao Wen changed the rhythm with a simple batting change. The tennis ball was like an arrow, falling quickly and urgently towards the baseline, drawing a meteor arc.

Across the court, Giron arrived in time on Hot Wheels, watching the tennis ball with burning eyes.

Backspin?

Because of his height, Giron has his own way of dealing with backspin. He has a solid center of gravity and stable steps, and he is completely comfortable hitting the ball.

Without hesitation, Jilong bent his knees, shot from a low position, and drew a flat arc with his forehand, almost grazing the net and flying parallel to the ground at low altitude. He took the initiative to hit forward with force, knocking Gawain's attempt to pass. The intention of cutting to change the rhythm is shattered, raising the speed again.

Slash!

Tennis returned to Gawain's forehand.

"Forehand VS forehand!"

Obviously, this time, Gawain did not need to move, his steps were waiting for the forehand. Giron watched Gawain intently, and after a pause in his steps, he was ready to start towards the backhand position. He believed that Gawain would choose to change his line; but as soon as his steps started, he stopped. Notice that Gawain's forehand slash has already been shot——

No hesitation.

Slash, it’s a slash again?
