Match Point: Chapter 1922 Instant heating
Latest website: Djokovic understands Gawain, and Gawain also understands Djokovic—
To be precise, among the Big Four, the one Gao Wen is most familiar with is Djokovic. After all, this is already the seventh time they have met in their careers.
In the sixth game just now, there was a little controversy and an accident. Although the final penalty was in Gao Wen's favor, Gao Wen successfully broke serve and tied the score; but Gao Wen knows Djokovic, and such situations can often inspire His high fighting spirit is just like the difference between home and away at the beginning of the game.
For Djokovic, that kind of unwillingness to admit defeat and that kind of urgency to prove himself can always be turned into motivation and explode with amazing energy.
It is precisely because of this that since "15:40" in the last game, Gao Wen's batting line combination has been obviously more patient and calm, but it has delayed the game -
Of course, Gao Wen can have a head-on showdown with Djokovic. He has such ability, and he will definitely not be afraid of Djokovic.
But is it really necessary?
Unlike the game against Federer, Gao Wen knew how difficult Djokovic was. Even if he was behind by a big score of "0:2", he could still drag the game all the way to the final set and finally find a way to overturn the suspense of victory. , he must be prepared for a protracted war and consider the overall situation.
Point by point, Gao Wen showed enough patience, showed his edge at the right time, and his ability to control and grasp the game became more and more mature.
Just like now.
In his own serve game, he fell behind at "15:30", but Gao Wen still did not rush or make any advances, and completely followed his established tactics.
Zone two, first shot, outer corner, deceleration and force reduction.
Opposite the net—
Djokovic's start was very sensitive and positive. He pushed off the ground, leaned forward, threw his entire center of gravity away, and grabbed the rising point of the shot.
The two-handed backhand hit the ball extremely solidly. The impact of the backhand diagonal not only relied on the force, but also exerted force, and the tennis ball returned along its original route.
The speed is 154 kilometers per hour.
A counterattack with a speed comparable to that of a second serve, hitting the ground straight back. Before Gawain could resume his serving motion, the tennis ball was already in front of him.
squeeze! rush! Collide!
Like a wall.
A mighty shot came towards him, and Gawain immediately realized that he did not have enough room to swing, and his steps were not fully in place.
In the flash of lightning, Gawain simply gave up swinging his backhand with both hands, pinned his body, and used turning movements to complete the pushing action within a small range.
One push and one block.
It's purely a matter of leveraging strength.
The forearm is straight and the wrist is strong, like a baseball home run, and the tennis ball is directly hit and returned to the ball.
Slash, slash again.
Simply looking at the line, there is not much fancy. Neither player creates different impacts in the diagonal area through changes in landing points. It is just a simple diagonal, point-to-point backhand hitting practice, straight forward. , unimpeded.
The key point is still to grab the rhythm.
Djokovic is grabbing, and so is Gawain.
Then, Djokovic fell into passivity—
It's not because the backhand is at a disadvantage in a head-on confrontation, but because of rhythm and positioning.
In the last shot, Djokovic's center of gravity was completely thrown away. After the impact, his feet rushed out of the ball and took a big step before he could barely control his body. He stopped and turned quickly and started a second time to bring his center of gravity back. I was about to return to my position, but before I could move my steps, the tennis ball had already returned.
In a hurry, the space between Djokovic and the tennis ball, the direction of movement of his feet and the movement of his racket were all slightly misaligned with each other.
awkward. Crowded. stiff.
This is Djokovic's dilemma.
In a hurry, Djokovic had no time to adjust and made a smooth forehand move. It was obviously sideways, but it was not a force, but a ball.
Djokovic habitually picked up the tennis ball, and then continued to move laterally to the right to defend, watching the flight path of the tennis ball.
Rising, rotating, and the parabola is not high. Djokovic's package ensures that the tennis ball can return to the opposite court, but the landing point and line are average.
It is located in the center of the backhand position, and it is neither deep nor shallow, neither up nor down. It is completely an awkward position in the midfield, which is equivalent to a transition ball.
Of course, Gawain did not expect such a return, and his steps did not have time to enter the baseline for a midfield hit. Compared with Federer, his awareness of moving forward and pressing is still insufficient, so Gawain is now more capable of handling it. Awkward-
The space for a forced attack is relatively limited, and it is not that easy to open up angles. Moreover, Djokovic's defense has successfully regained his pace.
This is Djokovic's ability. As long as he is willing, he can continue to deliver such returns, going back and forth, until the end of time.
but!
Gao Wen was also ready. After returning the ball with the previous shot, he adjusted his steps continuously to find the hitting position. He captured Djokovic's return line and completed the steps in one breath and one breath. Adjustment.
This time, there was no step forward, no grabbing points, the backhand with both hands was set up like a fort, waiting in place.
Moreover, he did not shoot in advance, but was very patient and calm, waiting quietly for the tennis ball to arrive.
Take your time.
Such composure and calmness put Djokovic's defense into trouble, because Gawain was fully prepared and could hit all the lines in the court, and Djokovic had no way of judging.
Even though the tennis ball is still flying in the air, the calculations and games between the two players are also going on. Not only the hitting and confrontation, but the collision of consciousness and the battle of spirit are also continuing to heat up, with smoke filling the air and sparks flying.
Then.
Wait, wait some more.
From millisecond to millisecond, the two players remained tense, neither taking action easily, just like before the Western Conference duel, waiting for the opportunity to draw their guns.
until-
Djokovic still took the lead, whoever defends is passive, it's that simple.
With a flicker of his body, Djokovic pretended to move towards his forehand, but it was a fake move, and then he moved towards his backhand.
Immediately afterwards, Gawain also took the same shot, backhand and slash with both hands, solid, steady, and an instant burst of power.
Djokovic, accurate prediction.
It can be seen at this time that the two players have played against each other more and more times, the accuracy of predictions has become higher and higher, and Djokovic's defense has become more and more comfortable.
Industry professionals all know that Djokovic is a typical "familiar" player.
Facing new opponents, he is often prone to some deviations, but as the number of matches increases, his control over the game will also increase. This is reflected in the battles between the Big Four and between him and other new generations. A duel between young players.
One step, emergency brake. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
Once you step on it, support your body.
Djokovic's two-handed backhand also showed an absolutely stable and solid ability, and he was completely unafraid of head-on collisions.
"Strength vs Power".
Although Gao Wen's hitting was very solid, with excellent power, speed and line, Djokovic did not fall behind at all.
So, what about the lines?
"Slash vs Slash", "Backhand vs Backhand".
Djokovic responded in kind by slamming the tennis ball back and pushing it back again.
but!
Djokovic had just finished hitting the ball when he noticed Gawain's moving steps -
