Match point

Chapter 1838
Ups and downs, twists and turns, hearty——

When the third set ended, people inside and outside the Arthur Ashe Stadium sighed uncontrollably. The scalp-numbing pleasure was crazy:

Now, the game should return to the familiar Gawain mode. The God of War returns, takes control of the initiative, rushes to the finish line in one go, and reaps victory.

However, they still think of competitive sports simply. After thinking about it, it seems that there is no suspense and it will happen naturally. But the real charm of competitive sports is that even if the probability of victory is already 99.99%, everything will fall into place before the end of the game. All are possible.

Bellucic proved with practical actions that he is not just a foil or a footnote. Like Gawain, he also has his own battles.

From "1:1" to "5:5", the fourth set between Gao Wen and Belucic was always deadlocked. Neither player was able to open up the situation despite their declining physical fitness. Belucic's stability Playing an important role, just holding on to the score and continuing the confrontation all the way, he performed well.

In the tenth game, Bellucic scored four straight points in a "love-game" to hold serve. He withstood huge pressure and simply kept his serve with no way out. His steady performance successfully won a piece of Arthur Ashe Stadium. Applause, many Brazilian fans roared with football support.

then.

The intensity of the game is rising steadily, and the high temperature and scorching heat under the scorching sun play an important role. It is not only a severe test for the players, but also for the audience.

No. 11 innings.

Bellucic continued to put pressure on Gao Wen and got a break point in Gao Wen's serve. However, at the critical moment, Gao Wen once again showed his big heart and seized his second game point to secure serve in a thrilling manner. Withstand Bellucic's impact and defend the defense despite severe physical exertion.

"6:5".

The pressure was once again pushed to Bellusic, who had to face his second service game with no way out, and the atmosphere became further anxious.

"30:30".

This time, Bellucic really felt the pressure. It was completely different from the tenth game. The quality of Gawain's batting was obviously improved to a new level——

Heat wave, turbulent.

This made Bellucic wonder. In the first few games, Gao Wen was accumulating strength, keeping his energy and stamina in his own serve game to prepare for the tie-break. Until Gao Wen himself completed consecutive service guarantees and became invincible. He only started to attack when he was in the fourth set and improved his condition at the end of the fourth set.

Then, the ominous premonition came true.

"30:40".

In the outer corner of the first area, Gao Wen hit a forehand straight back serve with an ace, and the crisp score gave Bellucic no chance at all.

Match point, appeared.

Bellucic's heart began to beat wildly and hit. If he said he wasn't nervous, it would be a lie, but he still had to control himself.

Second District.

It's the second district again.

Generally speaking, the first zone is also called the "tie zone" and the second zone is called the "leading zone". That is to say, in the second zone, it is either game point or break point. The performance of the players on this side is often More importantly, most of the time, a matchup ends in the second zone.

Now, the test once again passes to Bellusic.

Zone [-], continue to the outer corner?
No.

inner corner.

Bellucic pulled a trick.

In fact, in the last point in the first zone, Belucic chose to press Gao Wen's forehand from the outside corner, but Gao Wen slapped the serve back to the ACE to form a direct winning point. Logically speaking, he should avoid Gao Wen's forehand; Coupled with the advantage of the outside corner in the second zone, everyone speculated that Bellucic would not choose the inside corner.

However, Bellucic opted for the inside corner.Moreover, deceleration, topspin, and precise placement can be seen from the serve. Bellusic has already rehearsed this tactic in his mind.

The first shot with a speed of 170 kilometers per hour was slow, very, very slow, but it had strong topspin and side spin. After falling next to the T point, it turned outwards to the right.

Bellucic showed off all his clay skills without reservation——

give up?surrender?compromise?

No.

of course not.

Bellucic is still fighting.

With this serve, there was no doubt that Gawain had been calculated. Bellucic could see Gawain flying into the air, his body losing its center of gravity, and his forehand was awkwardly placed above the shoulder, and he hit it with great reluctance. , the general knocked the ball, and the tennis ball flew back.

There's no spin, no power, and no control.

Bellucic was extremely focused, adjusting in small steps continuously, switching to his forehand, kicking on the ground, turning, and attacking, all in one go, aiming for the blind spot on the bottom line.

Of course, the topspin still carries topspin. This is the way Bellucic is used to hitting the ball, and he is not going to change it; but this time, the landing point needs to be more accurate.

Bellucic aimed at Gawain's backhand and made a big triangle attack from the bottom line, which turned and went deep.

Although Gao Wen successfully moved into place, the hitting space was completely squeezed, and he barely managed to return a shot with both hands in a hasty backhand, but it still lacked quality.

Bellucic firmly grasped the advantage established by serving, continuously adjusted small steps, looked for the most accurate hitting space, and struck again with his forehand.

Backslash.

This time, he aimed at Gao Wen's forehand baseline hammer with a big triangle, and adjusted the two large angles on the left and right, making full use of the horizontal space on the court.

Tap, tap, tap.

Bellucic completely took the initiative, adjusting in small steps continuously, with light steps and a stable center of gravity, firmly locking Gao Wen's figure, watching Gao Wen cross the court again, fully stretching his body, extending his forehand to the extreme, In an extremely passive situation, he hit the ground with a forehand curling shot.

The opportunity is still with Bellucic.

Bellucic watched the flight trajectory of the tennis ball, along the diagonal line, rising high, with strong topspin, and crashed towards the big triangle on the bottom line on his right side.

However, Gao Wen still lacked some control in a passive situation. He did not fully enter the big triangle, so he failed to meet expectations and lacked some pressure.

Bellucic arrived early and hit the backhand smoothly without any hindrance. Although you can still feel some pressure, it is not a big problem. Bellucic made a straight line with his backhand and attacked for the third time in a row. Mobilizing Gao Wen to work hard at both ends of the bottom line.

In a straight line and in a blind corner, Bellucic's shots were still very decisive.

However, in order to be safer this time, Bellucic did not aim at the blind spot to attack. After hitting the ball, his footsteps immediately moved to the left, quickly seizing the position and holding on to his offensive advantage.

In his sight, Bellucic could see that Gawain was moving very fast, and he was in place smoothly in a flash. Although the situation was still not reversed, Gawain's shot was very resolute and decisive, and his backhand with both hands followed the inertia of the forward motion. , using his strength to hit a flat shot and cross the court diagonally.

"Inside-out" slash shot——

When everyone is familiar with Gao Wen's famous straight backhand stunt, they inadvertently ignore that since the clay court and grass court seasons, Gao Wen's backhand slash has become more and more penetrating. This is also a strong point with Djokovic. Part of the strength increased after the strong collision was struck again with the heavy sword.

Pressure, pressure, pressure...layers upon layers of pressure were coming towards Bellusic.
