Chapter 37 037-VS Djokovic (2)

At the end of the second set, Djokovic suddenly found that his physical strength was a bit beyond his budget. He felt helpless watching the score enter the long set match again. The score of 6:6 made him very painful, and he didn't know whether to continue.If he continues to be in the same situation as the first set, he may get the match point, but he will be a little passive. If he wins the second set, he will temporarily lead 2:0.

But giving up was more of a loss than it was worth. Letting his opponent equalize the total score of 1:1, he would be even more unsustainable. In fact, after the end of the first set, he already knew that he had fallen into the trap when he saw the time, but during the game, every player The score is very important, whoever wins the first set will take the initiative.

6:6 (1-0).

Djokovic, who served first in the second set, took the lead to win the seventh set, and then fell into the torment of Bu Zelu's stable and helpless outspin and backspin again.

6:6 (1-1).

You must know that in the 7-point game, the scores of both sides add up to 6 points, and there is no rest when changing venues.In Grand Slam matches, there is no tie-break. It is a long-set duel with a two-point lead to win, but the rest is the same.

6(10):7(12)

Bu Zelu equalized the score and the total score was 1:1.When the two ended the match, all the audience stood up and applauded for a long time.

Because from the game to the present, the two have spent 4:35:28 seconds.Generally speaking, this kind of game time is the time when the third set or even the fourth set should appear, but the two have just finished the second set, even in the four and a half hours, there are still two players who exchange venues and The rest time, but this kind of time is a bit too much.

Judging from the current rhythm, no matter who wins the game, this game will break the longest game in history, because the score of the two people is 1:1, and at least two sets must be played. Knowing how long it will take, in fact, as long as 2 minutes have passed, the match between the two has often broken the record set by Federer and Nadal at the Rome Masters in 2006, which took 4:37:42 seconds.

Now, Bu Zelu and Djokovic can break this record as long as they kick off after the 120-second break.What the two will start is only the third set.

At the beginning of the third game, Bu Zelu served. Just as he was standing on the sidelines and preparing to serve, he suddenly found that the audience on the sidelines suddenly stood up and applauded again. Just when Bu Zelu was still stunned, someone from the audience shouted Congratulations to the two for setting the record for the longest match in history.

4：37：43…44…45…

Bu Zelu didn't serve the ball, but clapped his hands at Djokovic to show respect, and this actor came to a gentleman to bow in return.Both men paid homage to their opponents, as this was their record, although the game had not yet been completed.

The quieted audience quietly drove Bu Zelu to serve with his left hand again. When Djokovic hit back, Bu Zelu hit the baseline ball again, and the long run started again.

Perhaps it was because the two were creating historical records. When Bu Zelu scored the first goal of the third set, the audience stopped booing and gave them applause instead.You must know that Bu Zelu used this disgusting way of playing before. Every time he scored, he would be booed by the audience to express his humiliation.

Although there are many Chinese present today, foreigners still despise Bu Zelu to win in this way, especially the opponent is a yellow race, so after the first set, Bu Zelu scored some foreigners on the field The audience will boo and resist.The corresponding Chinese fans cheered and applauded tit for tat.

But now, the foreigners present are also embarrassed to boo Bu Zelu, because the two are already setting historical records, and they are witnesses. No matter how ugly Bu Zelu's style of play is, the duel in the field But still wonderful.Even as an opponent of Bu Zelu, Djokovic behaved very gentlemanly.

Especially when Bu Zelu got the match point in the second set, the boos of the audience were even louder, and it was Djokovic who helped to break the siege, signaling the audience not to engage in such demeanor behavior.

So when the third game started, the game on the court was not just about victory or defeat, but a duel between willpower and physical strength.After two sets of four and a half hours of duel, Djokovic proved that his spear could not pierce Bao Zelu's turtle shell, and he could only maintain the tactic of mutually protecting serve with Bao Zelu in this most desperate way.

In fact, if Djokovic hadn't fought against Bu Zelu in the first set, but decisively saved his energy to play the second set, maybe the current situation is not like this, but the price is like this, It has become the most favorable situation for Bu Zelu. As the game time increases, the balance will tilt more and more towards Bu Zelu.

You must know that before this, no one would have thought that a match could last more than 4 hours. Even if there is a freak like Nadal, the battle will basically be resolved in about 3 hours.

Some people always say that Nadal is the champion who ran out, but compared with Bu Zelu, his skills are also in the top category, but in the past he was always criticized for scoring mostly defensively.

But now.

Bu Zelu took over Nadal's pot and started to go all the way.

When the time came to 05:00:00, even though the two sides were still competing, the audience spontaneously applauded again. 2 minutes later, Bu Zelu held serve at 2:3, taking the lead temporarily in the third set.

The two of them didn't care about the length of the game at all, they just took a second look at the time. They had to seize the time to replenish the energy and water they had consumed.

'This guy is really durable. It's been 5 hours and he can still run like this. What kind of feed do he usually eat? Sitting on the bench, Bu Zelu couldn't help thinking that his ability to fight like this was due to his physical reserves of more than 3 years and the endurance honed by playing against the system every day.

And he believes that Djokovic must not have practiced for such a long time in training with endurance as the main focus.Anyone who has nothing to do and runs on the court for 5 hours and simply swings to defend is regarded as a brain-dead behavior. Even if you have this time, even practicing equipment to increase physical fitness is more effective than doing so.

Under the rule of 90 seconds of rest when changing venues at the end of an odd-numbered round, the two of them hurriedly rested as much as possible. Bu Zelu never expected that the fight would end like this. The bananas, chocolates and other things had already been exhausted, and a bucket of mineral water was also gone. There was only 1/4 left, and as a result of saving energy drinks, there was still half left, while the other bottle had already been finished.

After drinking 5 liters of energy drink, he had no urge to urinate at all. Neither of them had gone to the toilet during the game, and the replenished water had long been secreted into sweat and secreted out of the body.

Even the well-prepared supplies like Bu Zelu have been consumed like this, and Djokovic is even more unbearable. The food supplies are already small and have been consumed long ago, but the water storage has bottomed out. Two barrels The 5 liter energy drink is gone, and there is still 1/5 of the mineral water left.

So during the next game break, the two of them may have to go to the locker room to get a bucket of mineral water, because the game stipulates that there is another chance to take a game break every three games.

Djokovic's serve is very fast as usual, but Bu Zelu can now keep up with the rhythm. When his physical strength declines, he can also compete with his opponent's tennis skills, but this time Bu Zelu is selective. He gave up and died after playing two goals with the opponent.

When the score came to 3:3, Bu Zelu and Djokovic chose to apply to go to the locker room at the same time, and then each of them carried an empty bottle to the locker room.

"Playing with you is really tormenting." Djokovic and Bu Zelu said with a wry smile as they walked side by side to the locker room.

"No way, I can't beat you." Bu Zelu shook his head and said with a wry smile.

The two looked at each other, shook their heads again, smiled bitterly, and then went into the locker room to get water.

When the two came back carrying water bottles, the audience applauded again. The longest game in history made them feel bored, and only such group activities could keep everyone from falling asleep.In fact, just now the camera caught sight of many people sitting on chairs and falling asleep. After being awakened by applause, everyone looked at the big screen and laughed happily.

The audience was entertaining themselves, and paid little attention to Bu Zelu and Djokovic. The interval was 5 minutes. After the two people applied in no particular order, because Djokovic first said, So it doesn't really matter if it falls on him. There is no regulation on the number of times he can apply for a game break after three games.

The game restarted, and Bu Zelu's serve was always helpless and boring. Djokovic always tried to resist again and again, but the end was either because of a mistake or because the force was not adjusted properly. Pulled back into consumption.

However, Djokovic's serve became more and more dangerous. After the break, under the attack of Bu Zelu's attempt, keeping his serve was also called a problem that Djokovic needed to pay attention to.

After five and a half hours of competition, the score of the two reached 5:6 again. Such a score embarrassed both sides, and every long game was a torment.

Bu Zelu is suffering from exhaustion, and Djokovic is suffering from gains and losses.

6(2):7(4)

This time, the long game was not as exciting as before. It ended after only 6 games, but the problem was indeed very serious, because Bu Zelu's counterattack worked, breaking Djokovic twice in a row, and directly defeated Djokovic. Won the third set and took the lead with a total score of 1:2.
