Match point

Chapter 317
Isner's second serve came out with a spin. In the tie-break, Isner was first broken by a serve point. Isner also immediately changed his strategy and used the bottom of the box. In an increasingly tense situation, he resolutely passed himself. The serve limits Gawain.

The effect is outstanding.

Because the height of the tennis ball after it landed and bounced has risen above Gao Wen's shoulders, no matter how you return the ball, it is very awkward.

Push the brakes on the ground and hold the racket high.

Gao Wen reluctantly took a hard cut with the racket, because there was no room to swing the racket, so naturally he had no way to exert force and could only increase the friction with all his strength.

rub!
The tennis ball spun violently, obviously it was a tennis ball, but it played a badminton effect abruptly, and then you could see the tennis ball drifting past, like a piece of feather, as long as there is a slight gust of wind, it may fly to the ends of the world.

heh!
The audience involuntarily let out a low exclamation, and then watched the tennis ball fly across the field:

Out of bounds?Is it within bounds?
On the other side, Isner was already waiting in his forehand position——

Obviously, Gao Wen has no other choice. In an extremely passive situation, first, he cannot control the return line; second, the diagonal line is the longest return space. Line is the best choice.

really!

Tennis is here!

Isner stood on the spot without much movement, and then waited for the tennis ball to fly over, ready to attack directly with the forehand.

Tread.

Tread.

Isner was adjusting his footsteps, and the forehand swing had been set up, but suddenly he found that the tennis ball was falling faster than expected, and it was obviously a backspin ball.

"Attention, John! Attention!"

Isner's concentration was high, his knees were slightly bent, his center of gravity sank, and his next swing was already in place.

However, the falling speed of the tennis ball was still beyond imagination. Isner found that his movement was a little slower, so he was forced to speed up the shooting movement, and the moment of the final shooting was a little hasty, and the whole force movement was not complete. Hastily hit the tennis ball in the past.

Slash big diagonal!
Huhu.

Whoosh!

At this moment, you can see the tennis ball flying past at full speed, and Gao Wen's footsteps just stood there without moving, just in time to catch the ball head-on.

boom!
With a full shot, Gawain's feet were obviously more stable. In addition, Isner's flat shot had almost no spin, which was more suitable for even force. in tennis.

Whoosh!
It can be clearly seen that in the "forehand VS forehand" confrontation, Gao Wen had the upper hand, and his return was heavier and flew back faster.

Isner's footsteps didn't move at all, just small partial adjustments.

Then it can be seen at this time that the footstep adjustment of this big tall man is very rough. Although there is no problem with hitting the ball, the hitting point is not accurate enough. When he finally took the shot, he relied entirely on his upper body strength to force the ball.

Of course, Isner's forehand still has a powerful impact just by relying on the strength of his upper body.

boom!
Still a forehand!
At this moment, all the audience held their breath, watching the two players in the forehand and forehand confrontation, showing the violent aesthetics of tennis to the fullest, and couldn't believe that Gao Wen was actually fighting forehand. There is no downfall at all.

Indeed, Gawain was not at a disadvantage, but he knew that in terms of absolute strength, he was still slightly inferior. If this continued, Isner's advantage would gradually become apparent.

He needs to make a change!
Change the line?
No, this is a battle of momentum. Gao Wen deliberately wanted to challenge Isner with a forehand. He was going to break through from here head-on, thereby breaking the balance of Isner's tactical system and paving the way for the follow-up. Look at Isner. When Nell hits the forehand persistently, you can know that Isner has entered the trap.

Therefore, Gao Wen cannot change the line, he needs to implement his tactics to the end.

So, take advantage of it?Or change the rotation?
Both!
Adjustment, small step adjustment, continuous adjustment, Gawain's footsteps are in stark contrast to Isner's. It can be seen that he is watching the ball and constantly adjusting his footsteps to find the best hitting point.

tread.

One kicks the ground, one swings the racket.

On the surface, it doesn't look like there is any difference, but in fact, you can see the delicate work on Gao Wen's wrist.

It is also a forehand shot, but at the moment of the shot, Gao Wen did not "top" the ball to exert force, but "skate" to push the ball. You can clearly see the arc of the forearm, and the fully stretched body is like a male. Like an eagle, light and unrestrained, he flicked his wrist outward.

Brush brush.

You can hear the tingling sound of the tennis ball quickly brushing the net cable, and finally escaped from the friction range of the racket, and just flew out like this.

Swipe, whoosh!
The tennis ball turned into a long, long streamline, and they could clearly see the mustard-yellow streamline dragging outward, towards Isner's forehand.

"what!"

Isner immediately realized that something was wrong. Although he also returned to his forehand, Gao Wen hit a skateboard ball, and the flight line of the entire tennis ball suddenly became shallow and clear, and it landed directly in the teeing area, like A ball from the outside corner flew over, and Isner's footsteps suddenly became hurried.

Cross step, cross step.

Isner's reaction was very quick, but his clumsy footsteps seemed a little awkward. He hurried to the hitting position, but found that Gao Wen hit the ball with backspin again, forcing his whole body to squat down, making a "sea fishing" Moon" movement, barely slapping the tennis ball in the past——

The importance of footsteps is immediately highlighted.

If the footsteps are nimble and arrive in time, you can still hit the ball; but if the footsteps are slow, a little slower, the hitting point is already very, very low.

Isner was a little embarrassed:

How did this round come to be in such a situation?
But Isner didn't have time to think, stood up in a hurry, and immediately moved sideways in a series of small steps, ran, ran as hard as he could, trying to defend his defensive gap, because Gawain's variation shot just now had pulled Isner Out of the sideline, the entire stadium has been emptied.

Subconsciously, Isner naturally thought that Gao Wen's next shot should hit the neutral.

Tapping.

Isner is running with all his strength. The previous serve has never been so embarrassing. The sudden rhythm made Isner a little flustered.

Out of the corner of his eye, he could see that Gao Wen had already appeared in the arena.

The footsteps entered the bottom line immediately, and reached the midfield with two or three strides. Isner's defensive return was not of good quality, just returning to the middle and midfield erratically, but Gao Wen paid attention The strength is still highly concentrated, and a series of small steps adjusts his position.

Before the tennis ball hits the ground, the forehand has already opened its posture, just like shooting a big eagle with a bow:
Fort, set up!
