Match point

Chapter 231
Whoosh whoosh.

Whoosh whoosh.

His breathing was scorching hot, and his entire lungs seemed to be on fire. Gao Wen, who was dripping with sweat, looked a little embarrassed.

Kokinakis on the other side of the field was also panting like a cow, his chest was heaving violently, but he still raised his clenched right fist high, looked over with bright eyes, and silently celebrated his scoring victory.

"Equally divided."

The referee reported the score, announcing that this 35-shot ultra-long round ended with Kokinakis scoring, saving the break point for the third time.

Roar!
In an instant, the entire No. [-] stadium was boiling, cheers, screams, and roars were bustling, and even the sunshine became pale.

Stadium No. [-], which can accommodate [-] spectators, is already full of seats, and the entire stadium is filled with blushing and shouting spectators, all of whom are forgetting to vent their emotions, but they are not supporting any side of the game, but looking forward to the game A little more intense.

Ahhhhh!
Ahhhhh!
Earth-shattering shouts hovered over the small town. At this time, the No. [-] and No. [-] courts were also playing games, but the atmosphere was completely suppressed. All the passers-by who came and went noticed the hustle and bustle of people in the No. [-] court. You can see the magma that is continuously burning, bubbling and boiling, and curiosity can't help but be aroused.

boom!
The audience, crazy!
On the court, the two players who had just completed a super long round looked like they had been fished out of the water, sweating profusely, and their hair was already wet.

Whether it is Gao Wen or Corkinakis, they have entered an anaerobic state during the continuous running back and forth. After this minute is over, now they need a little time to adjust. The burning sensation in the muscles and lungs in the hot summer Fully ignited, it feels as if an active volcano is erupting.

The two stared at each other uncompromisingly. Although their breathing was disordered, their eyes refused to back down, and the tense tension was still bursting out with sparks.

What's more, not only this point, but Kokinakis' serve has continued to see-saw for more than ten minutes.

Gao Wen got three break points, but all of them were saved by Kokinakis with a stronger and better performance at the critical moment, and he returned to the same starting line.

This is the third time it has been split.

However, Kokinakis has never been able to get the game point in his own serve, so the crisis has not been resolved, and the situation is still unfavorable to him.

Both Kokinakis and Gao Wen have realized that this game is another turning point in the whole game, and no one is willing to concede. Looking at the whole game and looking at the scoreboard at this time, one can understand why the two players fought so hard. Yes, no one is willing to give up a round of 35 shots.

“6：2”、“5：3”, 1：27。

The number in front is the score, Kokinakis is in front and Gao Wen is behind; the number in the back is the game time.

Audiences watching the tennis match should know that from the point of view of the score, it seems to be one-sided and very disparate. The game time should be shorter; but the game time is close to 10 minutes, which means that every game is very tangled.

Moreover, the style of the game also needs to be taken into consideration. If it is "Gaowen VS Saramento", then it is not surprising that the game takes a long time, but Kokinakis is not the type who is good at defense, and the game rhythm is often short. Frequency fast.

From this point of view, the time spent in the game reflects the fierceness of the duel.

Facts, too.

There is no doubt that Kokinakis is the strongest opponent Gao Wen has encountered so far, including Saramento, Geelong, Hanfman, etc., and everyone is not at the same level as Kokinakis of.

What does it mean to be ranked in the top [-] in the world? What is the level of a professional player? Finally, it became real and taught Gao Wen a good lesson.

At the beginning of the game, Kokinakis was full of firepower.

First of all, the speed is fast enough, the power is big enough, and the tail is strong enough.

Kokinakis is a typical bottom line player on a hard ground. He mainly hits the ball with a dribble, which is powerful and heavy. The attachment effect of the instant explosive force is heavy and heavy, and the flight trajectory of the tennis ball is very flat. Naturally, the flying speed in the air It is exceptionally fast and fierce.

Comparable to the game against Webber in the national championship game.

In other words, Kokinakis is not afraid of Gao Wen's return. He can often suppress the rotation and changes with strength, and then change the return route or change the way of hitting the ball with less pressure, which also makes him There are more combinations of lines, or speeding up or changing lines can suppress Gao Wen.

Moreover, Kokinakis does not need to fight, because his ability is there, so the batting success rate is more stable and effective than Webb.

Gao Wen is very embarrassed.

Secondly, the rhythm connection is fast enough.

As I said before, Gao Wen's batting rhythm is his strong point. The connection between rackets is very fast, and he can often restrict his opponents through changes in rhythm, but Kokinakis is no less impressive.

It is very likely that Gao Wen's shot has just returned, and Kokinakis' next shot has already completed the connection. It does not matter even if the line choice is not innovative, because the connection speed is fast enough and the reaction time is fast enough, compressing Gao Wen. Defensive reaction time and defensive quality rate will also decline.

It requires speed to have speed, strength to have power, and rhythm to rhythm. Only relying on the quality of the shot can form suppression, like a storm.

Lastly, stay stable for a longer duration.

Like Webber, or Thompson or Domyan, the duration of maintaining full-strength shots is often not long.

The simplest reason is that high-intensity confrontation requires a lot of physical strength and energy. It is difficult for any player to maintain his most efficient hitting ability throughout the game, even the Big Four, so tennis is a kind of game , How to use your best state to win at the right time.

Young players are often unable to move freely, and the ability to adjust is not enough, so they just rush forward.

In this regard, there is actually no difference between Kokinakis and Thompson, Domyan, Webber and other players, but the point is that Kokinakis has more outstanding abilities and significantly stronger battery life.

In the U.S. Championship game against Webber, in the second half of the first set, Webber's quality of the ball dropped significantly, which allowed Gawain to gain breathing space, and then slowly reversed the situation of the game.

However, Kokinakis continued until the second half of the second set, the end of the game, and did not see any obvious weakness.

The reason, on the one hand, is that the pressure that Gawain brought to Kokinakis is not enough, so the consumption is naturally relatively slow; on the other hand, Kokinakis' own ability is sufficient, and the ability to maintain speed and strength is stronger.

Thus, the whole situation became very, very difficult for Gao Wen.

To be precise, it was very difficult from the first point of the game, and the intensity was always above the level line, and the initiative of the game was never on Gao Wen's side.

　Third more.
