Gao Wen stood behind the serving line, facing the wall, 12 meters away, and was practicing the placement of the serve.

The length of the tennis court is 23.77 meters, and the half court is 11.885 meters. Therefore, when practicing serving against the wall, 12 meters is used as the standard; Every serve can be accurately landed in the target grid.

Just one column near the bottom line of the serve is divided into nine landing points, and every time Gao Wen practiced serving the serve, he was able to hit it accurately.

Wait, didn't you say that serving is Gao Wen's weakness?
First of all, this is practice, without pressure, the hit rate will naturally increase greatly.

Secondly, Gao Wen's serve is weak, but the real weakness lies in strength, not the placement; moreover, even strength is relative, don't forget that the height of 193 cm guarantees the height of the serve point, and the height The advantage is to press down with all your strength, which ensures the height of the tennis ball over the net and the speed of the ball.

Another legendary serve player, Ivo-Karlovic, is 211 centimeters tall and can be called a giant.

Height can often be an inherent advantage in serving, but tennis is not basketball, and height is not always better.

For a long time in the development of professional tennis, the general view is that the best height of a tennis player should be in the range of 180 cm to 188 cm, and it is not that the taller the better.

For one thing, when you move your footsteps, after your height exceeds a certain value, you will not be flexible enough to move, and even look cumbersome.

Secondly, the center of gravity is too high. When facing backspin, players must squat low enough to pull up the tennis ball, but players who are too tall often "can't squat down".

Among the "Big Four", Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are both 185 cm, and Novak Djokovic is 188 cm, all of which are within this ideal range; only Andy Mu Ray (Andy-Murray) is 191cm, a little taller, but not by much.

However, with the improvement of training methods, in this group of players born after 1995, players with a height of 190 centimeters or more began to increase gradually. Conditions are transformed more efficiently.

The height of 193 cm does bring more positive effects to Gao Wen's height, but what really limits his serve is his strength.

If the strength does not increase, on the one hand, the speed of the serve will not increase, and on the other hand, the tail strength of the serve will be relatively weak, unable to create more threats.

Gao Wen also knew that his strength was insufficient, so when serving the ball, he practiced the landing point more carefully, and then made full use of his height advantage to make up for the shortcomings, hoping to create more opportunities in the serving link—from the point of landing In terms of accuracy, Gao Wen has always been good.

boom!
boom!
The sound of the tennis ball hitting the wall echoed in the court with a wonderful rhythm.

Soon, Gao Wen discovered that the training manual provided by the system was indeed different, more refined, detailed, and more targeted.

For example, when serving from the inside corner, aim at the dead corner inside the teeing area. At this landing point, the system also puts forward more and more detailed training requirements, not just flat hitting and spinning.

Flat hitting, as the name suggests, is hitting hard. Tennis lacks spin, goes straight, and is fully infused with ball speed and strength. point.

The system proposes different brushing methods, that is, the time for the racket to brush the tennis ball. The shorter the time, the lower the bounce of the tennis ball after it hits the ground; the longer the time, the higher the bounce of the tennis ball after it hits the ground.

That is to say, although flat hitting lacks rotation changes and only wins with speed, the system still requires flat hitting to be able to change, disrupting the opponent's rhythm of catching the ball.

Imagine that the opponent sees that it is a flat serve and takes it for granted to receive the serve in the comfort zone between the waist and chest. As a result, the bounce height of the tennis ball is outside the comfort zone. They have to make adjustments again. If the adjustment is not timely or in place If it is not, you will either catch the ball directly or return a dish ball.

Rotate the ball, make full use of the friction between the racket and the tennis ball to create changes, the speed and power will be correspondingly weakened, and the average serving speed may be reduced to 180 kilometers per hour or even lower, but the changes in topspin, backspin, and side spin Can increase the difficulty of the opponent's judgment.

The system also puts forward strict training requirements, topspin, backspin, external rotation, internal rotation, and the most special two methods, the rapid jump of increasing force and the stagnation of reducing force——

The former is the tail strength, and the jumping speed after landing is faster than expected; the latter is to lure the enemy deep, after landing and bouncing, there is no strength, and it is almost impossible to move forward.The essence of the two kinds of service changes is to change the rhythm, disrupt the opponent's prediction, and force the opponent to be in a hurry.

In other words, with just one landing point, the system proposes twelve combinations, and each method requires ten correct serves.

If the serving effect does not meet expectations, then it must be sent again until it meets the expected effect.

boom!
boom!
One, then one, and another.

In the blink of an eye, I have practiced more than 150 serves, and all the tennis balls in the shopping trolley in the supermarket have been emptied. Mustard-yellow tennis balls are scattered in the corners of the tennis court. , bathed in the golden sunlight, with steam rising from her hair, as if she was practicing magic skills hard.

Although, this is just a practice of serving the ball, it may take years and years of precipitation to complete all the practice of serving the ball, and it is impossible to accomplish it overnight; but Gao Wen can still feel the happiness and joy overflowing in his chest, and the smile is on his face. The corners of the mouth, gasping for breath, bloomed.

Because of returning to the court, I feel the joy of sweating profusely; and because I can get rewards for my efforts-the system should be calculating the growth potential value, and the result is absolutely exciting.

According to the experience of the game, it is relatively easy to upgrade in the early stage. You can accumulate 100% experience by hitting one or two goblin mobs. Then he has just practiced more than 150 serves. Even if he cannot directly upgrade, the accumulation of experience should be no small matter. That's right...it's strange.

"Growth Potential: 37.05%"

what?
150 serves, growth potential only increased by 1%?
