Match Point: Chapter 663 overall balance

Chapter 664 Comprehensive Balance

Kick off, throw the ball.

The tennis ball went high into the air, and Berdych stretched out his body like a white crane spreading its wings. He stared sharply and focused on the fluffed tennis ball, keeping his concentration.

standard.

It can be called a standard, and every move of Berdych has the atmosphere of a model student. His rigorous serving and hitting movements perfectly interpret the elegance and lightness of tennis. The gentlemanly demeanor is really pleasing to the eye.

The indoor hard court of the Paris Masters is a little special. The hitting area is light grass green, and the surrounding moving area is light gray blue.

Looking at it from a distance, there is an illusion of blue sky and grass, and Berdych's white jersey looks even more light and elegant, like a knight with a sword.

But the problem is that it is not very friendly to viewers and broadcasts:

The mustard-yellow tennis ball is flying in the air, and the trajectory of the movement is not very clear. It is not impossible to see it, but it needs to be focused and invested.

It is precisely because of this that the audience was silent, and they held their breath involuntarily, watching the flight of the tennis ball.

boom!

In the second zone, the first round, the speed is 201 kilometers per hour.

Serving from the outside corner has both speed and angle. At the same time, the hidden topspin is released after landing, and the rebound power of the tennis ball is directly released.

Gao Wen's footsteps were immediately pulled out, and when his body almost lost his center of gravity, he backhanded his hands on the shoulders reluctantly.

The only thing Gao Wen can do is to control the landing point of the return ball in the middle area as much as possible and limit Berdych's attack angle, but the control of the arc and landing point of the return ball is very reluctant.

Berdych's footsteps were adjusted lightly and nimbly. With one step, he had already entered the bottom line. He took the initiative to meet the ball, swung the forearm of his right hand quickly, and completed a whip with his forehand like a whip. The speed and power are unleashed in an instant, and then the tennis ball is gone.

Whoosh!

The tennis ball penetrated into Gao Wen's right half, accurately pressed on the sideline, and then jumped out directly.

Even though Gao Wen had already completed the change of direction immediately and tried his best to move laterally, he was still a little short of catching up and watched the tennis ball fly towards the audience stands.

Berdych clenched his fists heavily, and looked at Gawain firmly with his blue eyes, without shouting or letting go, but the determination in his eyes burst out with a force, and in the contest of bayonet redness, he showed own determination and belief.

Head on, duel!

Then, Berdych had no extra action, turned around and returned to the bottom line, ready to continue serving.

The game was a little stalemate.

Berdych is a very well-rounded and well-balanced player, forehand and backhand, offense and defense, baseline and net.

Of course, objectively speaking, there are still some differences. The bottom line is stronger than the net, the offense is stronger than the defense, and the forehand is stronger than the backhand, but the gap is small. Overall, Berdych is a comprehensive and balanced player, but it is precisely because In this way, while he has no shortcomings, he also lacks characteristics.

If it is a mixed challenge or a youth game, such a player can easily be buried, because in a relatively low-level game, an outstanding killer can often break the situation.

But if the level and ability reach the top professional level, such a player is very stable, because his overall performance can always be maintained at the average level. Maybe their upper limit has not reached the height of genius, superstar, and legend, but similarly, their lower limit is also Much higher than the average player.

It also means that to beat him, you have to deliver an above-average performance, or the game will be in trouble —

Only very, very occasionally does a player like Berdych go awry, such as on a non-stop trip to Valencia after winning the title in Stockholm.

In the first set, the deadlock was never broken.

On the one hand, Berdych is very comprehensive and has no obvious shortcomings.

On the other hand, Berdych's game rhythm is relatively straightforward and neat, and it is further amplified on indoor hard courts. There are not so many long rounds of tug-of-war. This also means that Gawain's exploration, layout, The time for adaptation is compressed.

The most important reason is that Berdych's defense is not an airtight and solid type. Although he has a good defensive ability, he is not keen on or enjoying defense, so his mentality is determined. The focus of the game tends to be more offensive.

In comparison, once Berdych enters the state of passive defense, the possibility of opening is relatively high, and the speed of finishing a point will be faster, and the possibility of falling into a tug-of-war of more than 20 shots and 30 shots is generally speaking. is on the low side.

So, the process is fast.

In just thirty-five minutes, the game score has reached "6:5".

Among them, Gao Wen got two break points, but missed them all; Berdych got three break points, but also missed them all.

The two players entered into a tie and then entangled repeatedly for a long number of innings. There was not a single inning, which also made the game advance faster.

You can tell by looking at the game time, the rhythm has never slowed down.

Gao Wen has been looking for opportunities to break the game.

But, as Berdych said before the game:

He attaches great importance to this game and this opponent. He does not think that Gao Wen's victory in the US Open is a fluke, so he prepares very carefully and seriously. All preparations are presented in the game. So far The performance was perfect, Gao Wen was not given any chance.

Until the end of the day.

Gao Wen, who took the lead in serving in this game, made full use of his advantage of serving first to form a score lead, and launched consecutive attacks in Berdych's unavoidable serve.

Boldly take risks, attack decisively, and be the first to get started.

It doesn't matter even if you make a mistake, the rhythm and quality of the entire game will immediately improve to a higher level.

In the tenth game, Gao Wen still made a lot of mistakes and did not create too many threats. Berdych kept his serve smoothly.

Afterwards, Gao Wen was not affected and stood firm. He also did not give Berdych a chance. He kept his sixth serve and surpassed the score again, taking a temporary lead of "6:5".

In the twelfth game, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Berdych needed to face his second unavoidable serve in the first set, trying to drag the game into a tie-break.

In this round, Gao Wen's offensive success rate increased significantly, and he took a "15:30" lead, gaining a slight advantage.

However, Berdych still showed his rich game experience-

Just this point.

Establish an advantage with a beautiful serve, and the offensive connection of the second shot is very firm. Before the shot, the decision has been made in the mind, and the ball is hit into the wall cleanly, just like the "one-two-punch" in a boxing match , leaving nothing to chance.

So, "30:30".

Next is the key point, which may be Berdych's game point, or Gao Wen's break point and inventory.

The air also burns.

Everything is like a battle for a seat in the year-end finals. Every point is a key point, every point may turn the situation around, and every point is a bayonet battle.

The game has come to the most critical moment.
