Match Point: Chapter 649 Offensive and defensive conversion

Push the ground and exert strength.

Sprint, run wildly.

Calculate, counter.

Layout, break the game.

Attack, defend.

In the final of the ATP Valencia station, "Murray vs. Gao Wen", from the first point, the tone of the whole game has been set, and the round and see-saw must be the main theme.

In men's professional tennis, the most classic and exciting part of the "Big Four" game is the transition between offense and defense. Every shot may become an opportunity to turn the tide of the game:

It's not just a contradictory battle of "offense vs defense", nor is it just a personal ability to balance offense and defense, but a full-offensive and full-defense confrontation that can freely switch between offense and defense at all times.

Judging from the current situation, Gao Wen also has such abilities. Therefore, when facing giant players, he can always put his mind right, showing the attitude of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, and daring to attack can also form Confrontation, "no fear and no tension", this is a very important step—

Some professionals once said, why did this group of players born between 1990 and 1994 fail to break through the blockade of the Big Four?

Because this group of players faced the golden period of the Big Four head-on during their own rising period. Every time they met and every match, they did not have an overall advantage. They were pressed to the ground and rubbed and rubbed hard. Just like the inner demons, even if they can occasionally win in small events, after entering the masters and grand slams, the shackles of inner demons will emerge.

However, this group of players born after 1995 did not have such pain, because the golden peak period of the Big Four has slowly declined, and they are bolder, firmer and more confident, although they are still victorious against the Big Four. There were fewer losses and more losses, and there were many games that were ravaged by bloodbath, but their impact was gradually rising and becoming stronger and stronger.

Hitting ability and tennis strength are all numbers on paper. How much you can really play in the actual game is the key to winning or losing.

Mentality is very important.

Now, Gao Wen showed such a gesture:

After Djokovic and Nadal, standing in front of Murray, Gao Wen not only did not have weak legs and shaking hands, but also took the lead in attacking with high spirits. There was excitement in his scorching eyes, and he enjoyed the game wholeheartedly.

In fact, it is.

From the first point, the confrontation of you coming and going and not giving an inch runs through the whole time. Gawain launched a powerful attack on Murray.

In the first game, in Murray's serve game, Gao Wen won two points in a row, "0:30".

But Murray was fully prepared for the difficulties in the opening stage, resolved the crisis, and reversed the guarantee.

Gao Wen was not discouraged.

In the second game, he held his serve steadily and steadily, and then made a comeback in the next game.

In this round, the two players entangled for a full eight minutes and scored three times. Finally, on the second break point, Gao Wen resisted Murray's two active attacks with his forehand. After reversing the passive situation, he counterattacked with both hands. The slap hit a very sudden small slash, which was a stroke of genius and won the winning point.

Break first!

Immediately afterwards, after securing his serve again, Gao Wen completed a small climax of winning three games in a row and took a "3:1" lead.

In the opening stage, Murray really felt Gao Wen's confidence, but after gaining a firm foothold, Murray also launched a counterattack.

In Gao Wen's next two serve games, Murray successfully forced three break points in total, trying to get the game points back to the same starting line.

However, at the critical moment, Gao Wen still showed his big heart. All three break points were recovered with beautiful winning points, and he successfully secured the serve. In the short-handed battle, he always maintained the leading edge of the score:

"5:3".

In a blink of an eye, the first set came to an end. In the ninth game, Murray's serve was also the first set that Murray had to keep.

"40:30".

When Murray took the lead to get the game point, Gao Wen unexpectedly changed the rhythm, a forehand sliced ​​the ball, and a backhand delayed the shot to return the ball, scoring two points in a row. After saving the game point, he got a break point instead. And taking inventory, the stalemate in the first set continued.

Facing a break point and an inventory, Murray's serve in the second zone sneaked an inside corner, deliberately slowed down, pressed on the t point, pursued the ultimate angle, and used rotation to form a suppression.

Gao Wen couldn't take advantage of the return of the serve, and he barely hit a backslash back with his forehand. He didn't widen the angle and landed in the middle area.

At the critical moment, Murray also tried to break the rhythm and took the lead. Although the return ball landed in the middle and it was not easy to tear the angle, Murray chose to hit a rebound ball with both hands and used the strength of his wrist and forearm to tear the ball quickly. Belt, flat hit a slash, aiming at Gao Wen's backhand.

As mentioned before, women's professional tennis gradually emphasizes offense. They often refuse to stand back and avoid losing their advantage and falling into a passive defense situation. Therefore, when facing the ball from the bottom line, they will choose to squat down to increase their center of gravity. Steady, hit the tennis ball back with a wall-hitting return.

This technique may look embarrassing, but it is actually very demanding. It has requirements for hand feeling, control, center of gravity, balance and so on.

Among the men's players, Murray and Kei Nishikori also occasionally hit the ball like this to improve their offensive connection speed—

At this time, that's it.

Whoosh!

The ball was returned with mediocre power but fast speed, heading towards the dead corner of Gao Wen's left baseline, with a bit of a skateboarding effect unexpectedly.

It wasn't an opportunity, but Murray seized it, and the rhythm of the whole shot was instantly improved, which also made Gao Wen very embarrassed.

Great stride!

Continuous strides!

The footsteps of sprinting at full speed are as silky as ice skating, but it is still a little bit worse:

Because Murray's hitting power is not strong, and it is a flat hitting with a skateboard without rotation, the rebound height of the tennis ball is limited after it hits the ground, leaving no room for Gao Wen to hit the ball, and the moving time is naturally further compressed.

Tread Tread!

The sound of kicking footsteps with all-out strength continued to echo in the center court, and then, Gawain's upper body rushed forward to make a lunging gesture.

In the case where the center of gravity of the body is about to fly out, the upper body is still stable during high-speed running, the movement of the backhand with both hands is accelerated instantly, and the speed of the racket head is fully improved by completely relying on the swing frequency of the forearm and wrist, and Make full use of the inertia of the forward body to exert force.

call.

Soaring into the air, Gao Wen threw his whole body out with his feet off the ground ~www.mtlnovel.com~ to complete the shot.

rub.

Touched!

boom!

Hit the ball, very solid and very crisp!

Murray, was caught off guard, not because of Gao Wen's tenacious defense, but also because of Gao Wen's shot selection—

straight line!

Backhand straight with both hands!

Actually changed the line!

In terms of break point and inventory, Gao Wen unbelievably chose to let go of the ball in the face of an extremely passive defense, completely breaking the stalemate, and forcibly tore a straight line in Murray's forehand space.

Surprise everyone!
