a stretch. stop.

Everything is a conditioned reflex, and the reaction and action must be completed in one go; moreover, because the footsteps are standing in front of the net, the time and space for the reaction are further compressed, and the difficulty increases linearly.

At this time, the special training during the offseason also initially showed results.

With a simple movement, the flexible touch successfully wrapped the tennis ball.

Unload!

Pronation!

A clever rotation of the wrist, and then, like an elf, the mustard-yellow tennis ball draws a small arc, straight along the sideline, and returns to the other half of the court.

Whoosh.

All the eyes of the audience were focused, the heart also stopped beating, and the audience froze.

Cross the net and fall sharply.

Burley knew right away: Small ball.

Tread Tread.

The footsteps started immediately, running at full speed between the wind and lightning.

near.

closer.

Seeing that he was about to rush there, after the tennis ball hit the ground, the bounce height was higher than expected, and the rotation should be too strong, so Gao Wen's unloading action could not completely unload the force.

This is opportunity.

Burley ran faster and faster, and then watched the tennis ball fly high above the net, spin back, and cross the net again. Like a lost dog, he found his way back home obediently. Road, back to the court on the side of Gao Wen and Nadal.

Burley's speed has reached the extreme, but he is still a step slower, just like this, watching the tennis ball return to the other side of the court and land.

This... all right?

Burley was dumbfounded.

Gao Wen was also dumbfounded.

Obviously, the accident is true for both of them, or in other words, Nadal and Mayer should be added, and all four of them are dumbfounded.

Blinking and blinking, the audience was the first to react, and exchanged glances one by one:

What just happened? What do we see? How did that ball end up coming back? Does it come home like a boomerang?

It was Gao Wen who was the first to react. He looked at Burley with a dumbfounded smile, and raised his hands as a signal, indicating that there was an element of luck in returning the ball this time.

Burley's head was full of question marks, and he couldn't hold back his smile after looking at Gao Wen, so he laughed along with him.

In fact, this point also directly led to the Burley team sending out a break point and an inventory, but he didn't mind, he took the initiative to take a step forward, raised his fist, and gave Gawain an encouraging look.

This is…

Gawain was about to walk towards Nadal and stopped, and took a step forward. He and Burelli touched their fists across the net, and when they finished celebrating, a smile surged in his chest.

Such an entertaining score is not common. They should put the game aside for a while and celebrate.

Nadal and Mayer also exchanged a glance, and both smiled.

At this point, the audience finally came to their senses.

What just happened? What have you just witnessed?

Before the thoughts cleared up, the smile had already bloomed.

Ho **** ho!

Ahhh!

Cheers, seethe!

This time, the whistling and screaming could no longer be controlled. Even though the applause and thunderous applause remained the same, those booing and cheering sounds burst out with incredible energy, igniting the entire stadium.

The local conservative audiences were a little at a loss, surrounded by the hustle and bustle, and didn't know whether they should join it. The eyes that lost their direction looked a little flustered and somewhat enjoying, and they were already enthusiastically attracted by the crowd without knowing it. overwhelmed.

The sky of Doha was burning like this.

The audience is boiling.

Nadal and Gao Wen met again, ready to discuss the tactics for the next point.

Nadal raised his eyebrows high, looked at Gao Wen in disbelief, and said with a slight smile, "This is really a good shot."

"Ha, it's hard to copy." Gao Wen's smile rose from the corner of his mouth and fell into his eyes—

He also knows that this ball is more or less lucky, and it is really difficult to replicate. It is precisely because of the doubles game that it is more relaxed and enjoyable, and the delicate touch can often create some small miracles.

Then, Gao Wen did not continue to discuss the ball just now, but looked forward to the follow-up, "I want to try to attack a straight return ball."

Generally speaking, there are relatively few serving return routines in doubles matches. After all, there is a big living person standing upright in a straight line. If you choose a straight line, it is very likely that you will hit the wall and be crushed to death.

Therefore, when receiving the serve, one often chooses a slash to return the tennis ball to the serving side to form a pairing. The main tactic depends on the player standing in front of the net:

To grab the net, or not to grab the net: If you grab the net, is it a straight line or a diagonal line? If you don't grab the net, wait for the ball or put pressure on the net?

The so-called grabbing the net is the action that Gao Wen tried just now but was caught by Burley. In simple terms, it is a sudden lateral movement that appears on the opponent's return line, intercepts halfway, and forms blocks, blocks, high pressure, small balls, etc. Wait for the effect of returning the ball to disrupt the basic routines of both sides returning the ball.

Such tactics are very common in tennis and badminton doubles matches, and the principle is the same as blocking in volleyball matches.

Faced with the break point and inventory, Gao Wen resolutely chose a bolder and more risky tactic.

Nadal was a little surprised—

In fact, to cooperate with doubles, it is often to watch your partner's choice and layout of tactics at a close distance, especially the handling of some key balls, which will more or less "leak" some of your own tactical ideas.

It is precisely because of this that among the "Big Four", there are very few doubles with each other.

In the 2017 ATP Cup, Federer and Nadal cooperated in doubles for the only time, which became a match recorded in the history of men's professional tennis.

At this time, Nadal took an extra look at Gao Wen, which was an interesting choice.

But Nadal did not argue, but immediately followed Gao Wen's train of thought.

"Do you want me to feint on the right side and move laterally, or do I move left to block the gap in the middle?"

"On the right side, if it's an inside corner serve, I might still be forced to choose the diagonal line. If you move to the right side, I have more options."

Gao Wen gave the answer without any hesitation~www.mtlnovel.com~ The two exchanged a glance, understood each other's tactical intentions, and then walked towards their own positions.

Gao Wen is on the bottom line and Nadal is in front of the net.

The entire tactical exchange was just five seconds, but the two players' tactical capture of the three-dimensional space of the court collided with sparks.

Then Burelli was ready to serve.

"30:40".

The break point and inventory of the combination of Gao Wen and Nadal.

It was obvious that, entering the late stage of the game, both sides were exerting their strength, and the game was getting closer, so both had trouble in their own service games.

Just now, the Gaowen combination saved two break points to secure serve, and now it is the turn of the Burley combination to face the test of the break point.

The air was slightly tense, and one could clearly feel the smell of gunpowder smoke from the heat wave in the audience, and the breathing also became hot.

But the four players on the court kept their attention and they were ready to continue fighting.
