Chapter 1738 Everywhere

straight line?

No, slash.

For the second consecutive shot, Gao Wen repeated the line and sent the tennis ball back to Geelong forehand. The two players once again launched a head-on collision in the forehand position.

Giron, completely unafraid, paused, stopped and turned, started a second time, took the shot early, and was ready to hit the ball again as soon as possible.

but……

Wait, huh?

The return of the ball is a little strange, with hidden secrets.

Although it is also a forehand, Gao Wen's shot is different. It is not an ordinary flat shot with force, but a topspin shot that lands in the midfield.

Topspin?

But why?

Jilong's head was full of question marks, but he didn't have time to think about it. His body and brain had already made the first reaction——

Step forward, take a step forward, approach the bottom line, move forward slightly, grab the rising point, completely release the top spin, press down from the high point and attack again.

straight line!

Since Gawain did not change the line, Geelong took the lead in changing the line, seizing the opportunity to break the deadlock, shooting a straight line, and launching an attack targeting the winning point.

However, everything was within Gawain's prediction. Giron was already moving, starting, running, and crossing the court almost as soon as he took action.

In the blink of an eye, the steps have smoothly arrived at the position.

Two-handed backhand, slash, deep zone——

Not straight lines, but diagonal lines, continuing to make the most of the pitch over a wide area.

Similarly, Jilong was not surprised. He stopped, turned, and started twice, leaving a series of afterimages before running out, but then he realized the dilemma.

The heart shrank.

At this point, MacDonald and the commentators should be able to see some clues:

One deep, one shallow, one deep.

The landing point is always changing.

In the tug-of-war of the round, Gao Wen, who was in a passive defensive state, hit the ball with three shots. It seemed simple and casual, but in fact he was always controlling the landing point.

The so-called "change in depth" is not the kind of wide open and close, "a small ball in front of the net and a touch of the bottom line to press the line"; rather, it is a change in the midfield area, with topspin in the shallow area and backspin in the deep area. Along with the changes in power and speed, Geelong's hitting point position has been changing.

This means that it is not enough for Jilong's footsteps to move horizontally. He also needs to adjust vertically so that he can find the best hitting point; and the vertical movement is not a wide range of straight up and down, that is, it is like a radio wave near the baseline. Generally fluctuates back and forth.

Here, there is another detail. Gao Wen has captured a common problem among young players today——

Don't like to go online.

Young players are often accustomed to sticking to the baseline. Even if they get a chance to enter the baseline, most of the time they will not take advantage of the situation, but return to the baseline after hitting the ball.

Geelong is no exception.

Under such circumstances, Gao Wen controls the movement of the landing point near the midfield area, sometimes far and sometimes close, sometimes deep and sometimes shallow, which is equivalent to a smoke bomb. Jilong will not rush to the Internet, but his footsteps are always moving laterally. Vertical movement must be taken into account, and the entire shot is in a state of turmoil.

Physical exertion is one aspect, energy expenditure is another.

The shot of the ball in front of me is the best explanation.

It was obviously Jilong who was the first to change the line and launch a continuous attack, but the line was very regular and relied entirely on speed and strength. There was not enough change. Gao Wen predicted it in advance. He rushed to the second start smoothly and used his strength on the backhand position. Finishing the shot, pushing all of Giron's power back.

Gawain's backhand slash was an understatement, but he was full of energy. Pushing and sending, the tennis ball was directly pushed to the large triangle area of ​​​​the slash.

Deep area, dead corner.

Geelong, in deep trouble.

He must move back quickly and run a diagonal line at an angle of fifteen degrees behind his body. He needs to move not only horizontally but also vertically. The body's capture of the three-dimensional space of the court will be deviated because he must move in the direction of his body. Look for the hitting spot diagonally behind.

The detection of the entire sense of space may be somewhat biased.

Jiron's movement speed has been increased to the extreme, but when the steps are in place, the hitting point is still very strange, and the backhand with both hands is also squeezed. Although he still successfully completes the hitting, there are not many route options left, and he barely draws a diagonal line. Line, but no depth or angle.

Damn it!

——Offense and defense transition!

Jilong immediately realized that the quality of his return had dropped significantly and he had fallen into passivity. Gao Wen had already turned the situation around in an understatement. The initiative in the offensive and defensive confrontation was quietly transferred to Gao Wen. He could see it in his sight at a glance. Gawain cuts to the baseline to hit the ball.

Oops!

Jilong, alarm bells were ringing all over his body, and his conditioned reflexes were very rapid.

At this time, Jilong is still in Saiyan mode, and his entire perception and intuition are very sharp. Although he is passive, his whole body is alert and his reactions are timely.

With one push, Jilong had already rushed horizontally to the right and returned to his forehand position.

Not because he was familiar with Gawain, but because of an intuitive judgment, he subconsciously rushed out.

Tread, tap, tap, tap.

The speed was pushed to the extreme in an instant, turning into a violent wind, with eyes like a torch, firmly locked on the tennis ball——

Accurate prediction.

Gawain, indeed, chose a straight line, and shot his iconic backhand straight line, running through the court and launching his killer move.

Jilong did not give up. In a dazzling movement of footsteps, he had already returned from the left side of the court to the right side. In a short period of time, he completed two return runs efficiently and at high speed. Although his chest was rising and falling sharply like a bellows, his concentration was still there. Reaching its peak in excitement.

Step on it, get there in time.

but.

Shallow area.

It's actually a shallow area.

With this shot, Jilong never expected that Gao Wen's seemingly thunderous two-hand backhand straight line was actually pushed gently in the spring breeze. He did not pursue power or landing point. He just drew a straight straight line, but the landing point was in the service area. Between the small triangle and the bottom line big triangle.

It's like there's not enough control.

The difference is that this lack of control should be a deliberately created situation.

Geelong was caught off guard.

He was originally ready to meet the impact at the baseline and use his strength to complete the return; but now, not only can he not use his strength, but he also needs to move forward.

There was no time to adjust the steps, and the vertical movement was obviously missing by half a step. But it was just this half step. There was no time to move between the flashes of the game, so I could only lean forward and extend my upper body to reach the ball with the racket.

In other words, if you can't exert force and can't draw the ball, you can only choose to flick the tennis ball with your forehand, which is close to diving to the top to quickly pick up the tennis ball.

Danger! Danger, danger, danger!

No words are needed, it can be seen from the high-flying return parabola of Geelong that it is extremely dangerous.

Because the parabola is not too high, it barely crosses the net. It has no rotation and no height. It is basically like a head-on collision. It has no sharpness and no power, and there is no difference between it and being caught without any effort.

Jilong, all the muscles in his body suddenly contracted——

In the next second, you can see Gawain's footsteps resolutely and lightly cutting into the baseline, and he steps forward with a two-handed backhand without hesitation.

Crash!

Swing the racket!

Critical hit!

The power was finally released until now, sweeping through the entire army without reservation, and the tennis ball swept through the entire court like a storm.

Landing, score.
