Chapter 1367 The Limit of Flexibility
Accident!Accident!Accident!

At the critical moment, Tim broke the routine and faced a bottom-line high-pressure attack opportunity, but chose a forehand backslash ball, completely breaking expectations.

Whether it is the timing of the first shot after the serve, or Gao Wen's choice of the moon ball in the deep area of ​​the bottom line to give an attacking opportunity; whether it is the forehand shot, or the line selection of the backslash, every link and every detail, Everything was unexpected, and then, it detonated the audience like this.

buzzing...

There was a commotion.

The heat wave boils.

Gawain had to admit that this time, Tim's calculations were ahead of him, his prediction and layout all failed, and he was pushed to the cliff in an instant——

And it's not on the edge of the cliff, but hanging on the cliff with one hand, narrowly escaped death, with little hope.

However, think about it carefully:
Is it really that unexpected?
Is this shot selection in line with Tim's style?
In 2019, the legendary Chilean player Nicolas-Massu (Nicolas-Massu) joined Tim's coaching team, which became a key turning point in the outcome.

Ma Su, as a professional player, his career record is not brilliant. Although the highest ranking in the world once reached ninth, the best Grand Slam performance was only the fourth round of the 2005 US Open. The number of times he has entered the third round of the Grand Slam is only five times.

This point can be seen Tim's clay talent, his reading, understanding, and interpretation of clay, has already shown his talent early at this time.

A light pick.

Light and soft.

However, in the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Ma Su was upset all the way, winning two gold medals in singles and doubles, becoming the first male tennis player in Olympic history to win gold medals in both singles and doubles. This also became the highlight of Ma Su's career. a sum of money.

While sliding, while leaning forward.

Because of accident, but also because of shock.

Gao Wen's footsteps moved smoothly and smoothly, but in the blink of an eye, he had already come from the bottom line to the midfield, and he was riding the wind and waves.

run.

Therefore, this also gave Gao Wen space——

From all perspectives, Gao Wen had no chance, and Tim was about to use a small ball to save the fourth break point, and the first game of the fourth set would continue to entangle.

The power erupting from the depths of the dantian is not released in an instant, but a continuous drag, the body has been stretched to the extreme.

"Ugh!"

Even if it is not just getting started, it should be only a beginner level.

Red clay understands.

however……

slide.

Gao Wen's small ball shocked everyone.

Almost.

A dash.

After retiring, Ma Su stayed out of the public eye for many years, until 2019, joined Tim's coaching team, and under his guidance, Tim was reborn.

If it is Tim after 2019, it is understandable to make different choices and bold changes at critical moments, because this is the chemical reaction Masu injected into Tim's game; but in the moment of 2015 , Tim does not have such ability, this is not his style.

It is really hard to imagine that a height of 193 centimeters has such flexibility and ductility.

At the moment of the shot, he glanced at Tim's position out of the corner of his eye, and then, with a slight flick of his wrist, the tennis ball flew back.

sprint.

Lean forward.

drift.

Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, Gao Wen is doing his best.

In a state of full concentration, exhaustion and soreness have been numb, and the only thing that can be seen in the mind is the rapidly falling tennis ball.

Got it!
Tim:!
An exclamation point appeared in his mind, and Tim immediately noticed Gao Wen's handling before the net. He actually rubbed a small ball back, which was comparable to badminton net fighting.

Blue-collar player, this is the best adjective used to describe Masu. Among the Chilean players, the reputation of "Cannon" Gonzalez is much louder——

A little bit, that is, a little bit.

Gao Wen's bottom line moon ball still caused some interference, so that Tim had to be more precise and cautious. In order to avoid making mistakes and causing the ball to miss the net, Tim's backspin cutting arc was slightly higher.

There are two changes that the Chileans brought to Tim:
First, the rich and three-dimensional tactics have completely changed Tim's game model of relying on strength balls.

The body was burning, in a state of extreme physical strength, and the last bit of energy had been squeezed out, but Gawain didn't feel tired at all——

Second, the tenacity of the game, everyone knows the truth of being tough and easy to break. In the past, Tim was tough all the way to the end, but Ma Su changed this situation.

Like a feather falling on quicksand, it landed lightly without disturbing any grain of sand.

The entire upper body is almost parallel to the ground, the legs are split apart, and the lunge is gradually evolving into a split horse, showing the flexibility of Gao Wen's body to the fullest——

heh!
Everyone, hold your breath.

However, Gawain did not give up, to be precise——

Red clay?

If there's one flaw with Thiem's ​​net ball, it's spin.

Just a little bit.

Tim rushed out like an arrow from the string. At this time, you can see the difference between the 2015 version of Tim and the 2019 version: insufficient follow-up preparation.

Crisis, still!
Standing on the bottom line, facing Gawain's moon ball, Tim sliced ​​with his forehand and easily completed the unloading. The parabola control of the entire return ball is very fine, light and shallow, and the soft and light feel wraps the tennis ball. The net fell like a feather.

As a result, Gao Wen seized the opportunity and replayed a small ball.

Refuse to give up.

It was also under the guidance of Ma Su that Tim transformed from a master to a top master.

But it is no longer important to go back to the source. The important thing is that Tim chose the small ball, and Gao Wen was in crisis——

Therefore, this time, it was not that Tim suddenly became enlightened at the tactical level and broke Gawain's prediction; it was——

Judging from the effect, Tim is indeed slightly better than Gao Wen in terms of understanding and application of clay.

Tim ran with all his strength, his feet on the Hot Wheels, and the dust was flying.

Obviously, today's Tim is not a tactical layout, but relies entirely on instinct and intuition, so the follow-up is not connected, and his footsteps still stay at the bottom line.

One kick, one rush.

Because Gao Wen didn't expect it, he didn't expect it at all, and was caught off guard by being killed.It can be seen now that Gao Wen is still a hard court player.

"Uh……"

Perhaps, Tim didn't have a clear understanding of the tactical level, but just an intuition and an impulse. He thought it was necessary to do this, so that he could make the best use of the clay and maximize his strengths and advantages; did.

Gao Wen, the sliding step has already rushed out, but he knows that this little space is not enough, even with the sliding step, it is still not enough. After all, his explosive power and acceleration have also weakened, and the moving effect cannot be compared with the first three sets. So he needs to adjust slightly according to his physical condition.

however--

Stretching.

After the tennis ball landed, it bounced high, and the height of the bounce actually jumped to the net belt again. It was not so much that the force could not be unloaded, but that Tim added too much rotation as insurance.

Stick to the net and fall.

The delicate and exquisite touch controls the flight parabola of the tennis ball to the limit, as if drawing it with a brush in hand. The tennis ball crosses the net and falls quickly, but no force and rotation are attached, and everything disappears in the wrist package. Among them, return to the most original state.

It just touched the ground, rebounded a little, and then fell again, forming two jumps, falling between the dust particles, without even rolling.

Tim, helpless.
