Chapter 1752 Regaining the Force

Gawain, a little frustrated——

It was very, very rare that such negative emotions appeared in Gawain's game, and it was definitely the first time that he had experienced such a test.

The downturn in the Asian season last year was a kind of chaos and confusion, and it felt like a zombie. He was clearly standing on the court, but he didn't know how to play. His playing style of standing on the baseline and hitting the ball conservatively was not Gao Wen at all. , showing a sluggish state from state to brain.

In front of me, it's different.

The head is awake, the hand feels normal, and the tactics and layout are clear. The problem is that the body cannot do it.

In fact, the pain and stretching sensation have gradually subsided. Although there is still a little bit, it is within a tolerable range. The real problem lies in the subconscious mind. On the one hand, it is aware of the injury, and on the other hand, it is worried that the movement is too intense and will aggravate the pain. Injuries can cause deformation of movement.

Hands tied.

In the round ball, all the tactics and routes have been conceived, but the fluctuations in shot timing and batting quality have resulted in less than expected results——

The confrontation with Tsonga cannot be completely deadlocked.

Perhaps Tsonga has withdrawn his strength a little and is not fully firing, but in the head-on confrontation, it is becoming more and more obvious that Gawain is at a disadvantage.

The limitations from the body and the caution from the subconscious restrained the hands and feet.

depressed.

"0:40", as soon as the third set came up, we faced a crisis.

Taking advantage of the short break to wipe his sweat, Gawain buried his cheek in the towel and took a deep breath.

"Calm down, stay calm."

"Either simply quit the game. There is no need to be indecisive. Stopping losses in time also requires wisdom and decision-making."

"Either stay focused. Since you are ready to continue fighting, don't hesitate."

Involuntarily, Gawain thought of Nadal.

Gao Wen has always admired Nadal very much, and that respect includes Nadal's attitude in the face of injuries, which is tough, tenacious and unyielding.

Perhaps the topic of who is the best in history among the Big Four will cause countless debates. Every fan has his or her own favorite candidate, but if we discuss who is the best returner after suffering serious injuries in the long history, and who is the best after suffering injuries, The toughest fighter in the world, Nadal deserves the title.

In Nadal's career, he has faced injuries again and again, fought with injuries again and again, and fought hard to come back from desperate situations again and again. His will, his belief, and his concentration have stood out in the battle of blood and sand. It shows the cruelest, bloodiest but also most incredible side of competitive sports.

Human beings are always like this, challenging nature, challenging the universe, and challenging limits. At the same time, they are also challenging themselves, breaking through themselves, and surpassing themselves.

Fighting with injuries is like a negotiation. Sometimes the pain has the upper hand, and sometimes the disadvantage is reversed. This is not easy. To be precise, it is very, very difficult. But before the negotiation is over, everything is possible. Compared with wisdom, Will and mind will often play a more important role.

It's not easy.

To be precise, it is very, very difficult, and may even be the most severe test that Gao Wen has encountered in his career so far; moreover, this is different from facing any player. This is a confrontation with himself, his body, and physics, even if Even if you try your best, you may not be able to win.

However, he must face it.

call.

Gawain let out a long breath, barely regaining some sense in the chaos.

In the past year, it seemed that everything was going smoothly, and Gao Wen did not encounter severe tests at all; but in fact, the ubiquitous and pervasive pressure always existed objectively, and Gao Wen was no longer the same person, except for the system numbers. In addition, he also ushered in growth and transformation.

The rhythm, the technique, the layout.

Now, it's time to tweak things a bit.

Focus!

Gawain reminded himself secretly again, turned around and walked towards the bottom line.

The muscle strain under the left abdomen directly affects technical movements including serve and backhand, but has no effect on forehand and movement.

So, how should tactics be adjusted accordingly?

Second District.

One shot, the speed is 170 kilometers per hour.

It can be seen from the speed of serving that Gao Wen is now completely withdrawing his strength to serve. The entire serving movement is becoming more concise, with obvious side rotation, and he is trying to avoid active pulling as much as possible, which will lead to unnecessary aggravation of injuries. This is also the reason for Gao Wen. Falling into a passive starting point in his own serve.

inner angle.

Tsonga's body rushed out as soon as he kicked off the ground, and his forehand hit in the direction of his body's forward lean.

Backslash!

With one stroke of the ball, the tennis ball hit Gawain's backhand head-on. It wasn't deep, but it was heavy and fast enough.

If it were normal, Gawain would hit the backhand with both hands, and launch a counterattack on the spot in a head-to-head manner, pushing Tsonga's position as far back as possible to prevent Tsonga's fatal shots from continuously creating pressure.

But not now.

Even though Gawain was still willing to use his backhand to gain strength, because of his incomplete swing, he couldn't withstand Tsonga's tail-end force -

From the end of the second set to the beginning of the third set, similar situations have occurred more than once.

Tread, tap, tap, tap.

Gawain's footsteps were still light and agile, and the cross-adjustment of continuous small steps was smoothly in place.

Then, cut.

Unusually, Gawain did not choose to use both hands to backhand when his steps were already in place, but actively chipped.

Cutting, low and flat, fast and heavy, turning and deep.

It can be seen from the flight of the tennis ball that this is an offensive cutting shot. Without pulling the abdominal muscles, Gao Wen began to change the combination of techniques and use cutting to launch an attack.

In tennis, the control is very precise, and the impact of injuries cannot be seen at this time. The entire threat and rhythm suddenly increase to a higher level, creating an impact.

Tsonga's reaction was a bit hasty.

Originally, Tsonga was not a small and light player, and his overall reaction was a bit cumbersome. This is even more so now in the chaotic whirlpool caused by injuries.

The tennis ball landed in the deep area of ​​Tsonga's backhand, forming a suppression, and the backspin ball did not bounce high, forcing Tsonga to complete the backhand shot near the knee. The quality of the entire return was obviously affected, and the parabola was not completely suppressed. Live, speed and power are weakened with the impact of rotation.

The tennis ball rose slightly and returned to Gawain's backhand position.

Gawain, took no chances.

Normally, this would be an opportunity to attack with a sideways forehand, but now Gao Wen doesn't want to act too hastily. He still needs to further adapt to the playing mode when he is injured.

So, he adjusted in small steps continuously, lowered his center of gravity, started the backhand with both hands early, and made a posture ready to attack. However, when the tennis ball was in place, he changed his grip gesture and everything was cut.

Second beat in a row, cutting.

And, little ball!

Heh.

The whole audience gasped.

This rhythm and layout are somewhat similar to Gao Wen's usual playing style, but also more different. The changes in timing and hitting methods have been breaking the fixed concepts. Surprises come one after another, and then the whole audience is stunned. , just watching the tennis ball swinging across the net.

Falling.

Landing.

Dead ball.

Everything, so simple.
