Match Point: Chapter 1240 Exciting
Chapter 1241
Immediately after—
In the fourth game, the Bryan brothers still served, but this time it was Mike's serve.
In the anxious situation of "30:15", Mike improved his state, skillfully used the serve to seize the advantage, and was almost about to score.
In a blink of an eye, the advantages established by the Bryan brothers through serving continued to expand, and they had firmly grasped the advantage in front of the net.
Moreover, unlike the inventory of the first set, this time, the Bryan brothers launched a bombardment of high-pressure **** in front of the net.
Not volleys, but high pressure.
The entire pressure and impact have been upgraded by two levels, leaving no breathing space for the opponent at all, and the strong wind and rain are impenetrable.
Gawain and Dimitrov were in such a panic that they could only parry but had no power to fight back.
However, the two players showed the bottom-line hitting ability of top singles masters, frequently completed saves, and kept sending tennis **** back to the opposite side.
The Bryan brothers took eight high-pressure shots in a row, but they didn't form a winning point.
In such a situation, it looks like a ping-pong ball with a chopping ball. One side is aggressively attacking and the other side is defending. Seeing that the chipping side is in danger and may lose completely at any time, they use different defensive methods to continuously send the ping-pong ball back to the opposite table. Force the opponent to continue to attack.
The whole audience, exclaimed again and again—
High pressure, ah!
High voltage, huh!
High voltage, oh!
The heart, followed by Brother Bryan's high-pressure ball continued to explode, and even the exclamation was twisted into a rope, pushing the momentum of the audience to the extreme.
The characteristics of the clay are also fully revealed in this point. It is obvious that the Bryan brothers have poured all their strength into it, but after landing, they are still absorbed and disintegrated by a large amount. Even if it is a high-pressure ball, it still gives Gawain and Dimitro The husband controls the space of the shot and cannot score directly.
If it is a hard court, let alone eight high-pressure shots, I am afraid that two consecutive high-pressure shots are enough.
However, the advantage of the Bryan brothers is still becoming more and more obvious, and the save line on the opposite side is getting shorter and shorter, so their positions are getting more and more forward.
The attack power is becoming more and more fierce and aggressive.
In the end, Bob took a step forward, stood in front of the net, and hit the bottom line with a deep high-pressure artillery.
On the other side of the field, Gawain and Dimitrov were helpless, because they were too passive, unable to predict or defend, the two of them basically stood still and accepted the ending—
This point should be gone.
Unexpectedly, Bob's smash flew towards Gao Wen, hitting Gao Wen's position accurately.
Gao Wen stretched out his hand to stop him.
There was no skill, no control, not even awareness, it was purely a muscular response, a conditioned stretching of the racket.
result!
This stop, unexpectedly! stop it!
The tennis ball flew back again.
ah.
The breath of the audience was cut off in an instant, and all heads were lifted up in unison, looking up to send the tennis ball flying across the court, jumping over the heads of the Bryan brothers, and falling towards the deep area.
Like a shooting star.
Mike realized something was wrong at the first time, backed up quickly, caught up to the bottom line, and turned 180 degrees on the spot, trying to complete the shot.
However, in the process of turning around, there was a deviation in the judgment of space and position, which finally caused the ball to hit the net directly.
boom!
The audience exploded.
"30:30".
Unbelievable, absolutely unthinkable—
The Bryan brothers had already taken the absolute initiative. Gawain and Dimitrov had basically given up batting, but this point belonged to the Gawain team.
A little luck, a little accident.
The four players on both sides of the field were stunned. None of them expected such a situation, and finally they all burst into laughter.
Wonderful, indeed wave after wave.
Although the Gao Wen team chased a point with a little bit of luck, this round may even be an unrepeatable one in Monte Carlo this year; but then, the Bryan Brothers still performed well, scoring two points in a row, without any danger. Hold serve quickly to avoid the dilemma of facing a break point.
In the second set, the situation was stalemate, from "1:1" to "4:4".
The most important thing is that the two teams did not send a break point, at most it was a tie, showing strong control in their own serve.
Then—
Gao Wen's combination successfully secured their serve again, relying on the advantage of taking the lead to serve again and surpassed the score again, "5:4", occupying a little psychological advantage and putting the pressure on the Bryan brothers.
Next is the serve game where the Bryan brothers have no way out. Once there is a mistake, they need to face the test of the match point.
This time, it was Bob who served the ball.
"30:0", Bob, set off smoothly.
"30:30", the opponent is chasing after him.
The situation immediately became delicate. The next point might be the game point or the match point.
Bob, respond with an ace.
"40:30".
ah!
Bob roared, and he could clearly feel that the pressure exists objectively. It is very important for Bob to issue ACEs against the pressure.
However, immediately after the next point, Mike made a fatal net grabbing error—
Gao Wen sensed Mike's intention to grab the net, and pulled out a strong topspin with his forehand. A typical clay-court shot, he used the topspin to destroy the stability of the opponent's racket. In the end, Mike's volley in front of the net was too fierce. Off the net, missed the game point, the two sides reached a tie, and the crisis is still not resolved.
The game came to a critical moment.
In fact, it can be detected at this time that the Bryan brothers are hard-court players trained in traditional North America, but the combination on the opposite side of the net is not.
Dimitrov was trained in Paris, and Gawain's pace of adapting to the clay court is obviously stronger than that of ordinary North American players. Throughout the game's attempts and layouts, he can deeply feel that Gawain is switching from hard courts to hard courts. On clay, it just needs more time and more games.
It is precisely because of this that the strength gap between the two teams has further narrowed, and the game has become anxious.
"40:40".
Bob serves and Dimitrov receives.
a district.
This time, Gao Wen and Dimitrov adopted another stance:
Double bottom line.
Although in doubles matches, the position of one bottom line and one front of the net is becoming more and more common. Most of the time, players will adopt this position, especially on hard courts, because the advantage in front of the net is often the key to scoring. This point, It is inextricably similar to volleyball~www.mtlnovel.com~ but the frequency of double bottom line tactics is not low. When the two partners are confident in their bottom line hitting skills, they can pass this way The position confuses the audience, destroys the opponent's coverage of the front of the net, and makes it easier to find a gap to break the balance.
Obviously, the two players in Gao Wen's combination have the best bottom line ability in the world.
The Bryan brothers are also aware that the game at the tactical level is becoming more and more tense, especially at the end of the first set. Gao Wen used the tactical layout to seize the opportunity, which led to the Bryan brothers handing over the victory. At the end of the second set, they refused to repeat the same mistakes.
This time, it was Bob who served.
Bob's serve is even better, but Bob also knows that on clay courts, it is not easy to rely solely on strength and speed to suppress.
So, Bob also made adjustments to his serve—
District 1, inner corner.
Suppressing Dimitrov's one-handed backhand, the speed is 178 kilometers per hour, which is not fast. The result of sacrificing speed is that Bob accurately hits the landing point.
Tricky and precise, T point!
