Chapter 72 Confused
Hu Chi.

Hu Chi.

Harris looked across the court panting, not paying attention to the tennis ball at all, just staring at Gao Wen who was opposite him, without saying a word.

Gao Wen was unmoved, and looked over with resolute eyes, and met Harris's eyes upright. He clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it high. Although he didn't growl or roar, the distinctive arm muscle lines still showed. Out of the firmness in his heart, he hit back head-on without showing any weakness.

Those eyes, which were as black as ink, were filled with stars and oceans, flamboyant and reckless, tough and passionate.

In my impression, Asian faces are always relatively introverted and low-key, especially Chinese faces. They always regard modesty as a virtue, and rarely attack with a sharp edge, even in the game, they rarely show their emotions.

But the freshman in front of him is different.

From the very first point of his debut, he showed a belief in winning, not only flamboyant but also strong, from the body language to the roar, one can feel the heat emanating from the inside out, and the burning clouds all over the sky seem to engulf the whole world Lit, but the overwhelming flames also all became his will.

One look, one fist.

The simple movement can deeply feel the pressure on the face, and it hit Harris' chest heavily, and he groaned and was speechless.

Harris was a little irritable, no, it should be very irritable.Very!
what happened?

This!He meows!in the end!what happened!

Harris wanted to swear.

What about crushing?What about absolute advantage?Is it not worth mentioning?What about limited strength?What about the decisive hero?

What about the agreed-upon formation, the agreed-upon plan, and the agreed-upon home court advantage?

But why is everything going off the rails now?why!
Harris had a strange feeling that he seemed to be tied up. From his serving game to the receiving game, he tried different means to open the situation. In the blink of an eye, he lost seven points in a row. He didn't even know What should I do to be able to score.

Head, a little confused.

Staring at Gawain on the opposite side of the field, Harris had a terrible thought:

Is the opponent really that powerful?So why is it still number six singles?But if not, what is the current situation?He made no mistakes or turnovers, but couldn't score?Is it the opponent's extraordinary performance, or is his own judgment wrong?
Harris, 19, had hit a dead end and couldn't figure it out.

"...Harris's offensive methods are still too single, pat the forehand, hit the board hard, all of them are flat shots; and the line selection is all conventional routines, which is very good for the defensive side. Prediction, often able to move in advance to seize the advantage, and then Harris' offense will be unable to open the situation for a long time."

"In stark contrast, on Gao Wen's side, there are many changes in the entire return of the ball, including flat hits, topspins, backspins, and high shots. The best way to handle the ball is always found, especially the timing of offensive and defensive transitions and the quality of the ball returned, which is impressive."

"At the tactical level and the level of golf intelligence, Gao Wen gave full play to his advantages, and now he has pushed all the pressure to Harris' side. The balance of victory and defeat is undergoing subtle changes."

"For Harris, the most important thing now is to sort out his thoughts, figure out what's going on, and readjust his shot selection, otherwise, he may be confused and face a more difficult situation without knowing what's going on. gone."

"Harris needs to pick up the pace."

Sofar is in the studio marveling.

As a neutral commentator, he needs to maintain an objective position, but on the court, Gao Wen's performance was really outstanding, as if he jumped out of the cracks in the rocks, and a combination of punches had already made Harris dizzy. The situation of the game has undergone subtle changes.

At this moment, it seems that Gao Wen should be ranked 28th in the United States, and Harris should be the unknown and still without any ranking. The positions are reversed like this, completely breaking people's expectations for this game.

It was an accident and a surprise.

If Macdonald heard Sofar's explanation, he would definitely nod his head in agreement.

Gao Wen's reading of the game and the use of tactics are very scary. It is often difficult to see the clues in the technical statistics after the game. Only when you really stand on the court and play a game can you feel Gao Wen's choice of returning the ball. uniqueness.

Harris was not able to prepare adequately, and naturally he was in trouble.

On the surface, it seemed that Harris played chaotically, always hitting the wall; but in fact, it was Gawain who dug the trap step by step until Harris threw himself into the trap.

The tennis game of calculation and anti-calculation has never been so simple.

"Game, high!"

While the emotions were surging, the voice of the referee's scoring brought his thoughts back, and then he announced the end of the second game.

"In the first set, 2:0, led by Gao."

While speaking, Gao Wen scored another point in his serve, this time changing the tempo with a flat backspin:
After two consecutive topspin shots to slow down the rhythm, a sudden flat shot attack, although Harris did not lose his position and just stood still to complete the shot, but the fast and sharp backspin ball still interfered with his Returning the ball, the center of gravity did not squat down completely, and the top spin of the racket was not enough, and then——

J.

A simple hit resulted in a simple error, and Harris' return ball failed to pass the net, and another point was lost.

If Harris can lower the center of gravity and squat down with his knees, then this return ball can pass the net, but Harris' handling is obviously too sloppy.

So, since the beginning of the game, Gao Wen has scored eight points in a row, with consecutive breaks and saves, and has already achieved a "2:0" lead in terms of game points, while Harris still has not been able to break the ball.

But for tennis, this is just the beginning. As long as Harris quickly gains a foothold, the game can still regain balance. After all, it is only one serve behind - just like the beginning of the first game of the season.

The question is, can Harris calm down?Also, will Gao Wen allow Harris to regain his status?Tennis is not a sport that can be played by one person standing on the court. It comes from the restraint of the opponent. Although it is not a fist-to-hand boxing match, it is still a fencing-style confrontation.

For the former, it is unknown, but for the latter, Gao Wen's answer is no.

In Harris' second serve game, Gao Wen continued his own tactics, but let go of his hands and feet a little bit, because he already had an advantage in breaking serve, and he could indeed try a more daring tactic.

It would be great if he could break Harris' serve again; but if not, it doesn't matter, at least he can find an offensive touch.

No matter what, Gawain will not let Harris get back to his status safely.
