MTL - Match Point-Chapter 17 chess game

Snapped. Snapped. Snapped.

The sound of tennis rackets hitting the ground has a neat rhythm in the empty court, and the breeze blowing towards the face seems to be in line with the rhythm. The golden sun shines through the cloudless blue sky, and the skin surface can feel slightly hot With the heat wave, the air also slowed down.

Bow your knees! Kick off! Throw the ball!

Gao Wen's body was like a big bow stretched out. His fully stretched arms outlined an elegant line. The power was transmitted from the soles of his feet to his shoulders and arms. The tennis racket was like Thor's hammer coming down from a high place. Hammering, it seems that you can see a billowing air wave stirred up by the swing of your arm.

Standing on the edge of the court, Coach Martin observed carefully, and he could tell at a glance that Gawain's leg movements still hadn't fully exerted his strength.

Why is tennis a sport that needs to be cultivated from an early age? Because the requirements for exerting force are very strict, from serve to forehand to backhand and movement, every technical link needs to be accumulated over time. If it is not correct, no matter how good the physical talent is, there is no way to transform it into strength.

Taking Gao Wen's height as an example, even if his strength is weak, the height advantage can bring out enough angle and speed. The power of serving should be more than that. The main reason is that the technical movement of serving is not in place-legs The pedaling is not enough, and the power is not released at all.

This also wastes the height advantage.

Martin was thinking about how to correct Gao Wen's serving action next, so that even without strength training, the power of the serve could be improved, and then Gao Wen's serve was sent out in a flash.

Whoosh!

A parabola crossed the net high and flew towards the outer corner of the teeing area. The speed was not fast, and it seemed that there was no strength. However, after landing, it spun at a very fast speed, and continued to pull it towards the outside. The high-speed spinning tennis ball He galloped away from the doubles line.

Actually!

Jilong made a mistake in his prediction. He thought it was a flat serve and it turned out to be an outspin serve, and he thought it was an inside corner serve and it turned out to be an outside corner serve.

Jilong immediately pulled toward his forehand sideways, and the stretched right hand racket barely touched the tennis ball. The reaction speed was already amazing, but the strong rotation still prevented the racket from forming an effective hit.

Crack!

The tennis ball sees the height but does not see the distance, leaps high into a golden sun, and then falls back to the court in Geelong.

"15:0".

Gawain scored.

There was a hint of appreciation in Coach Martin's eyes. Although Gao Wen is lacking in strength, he still has a lot of changing routines for serving the ball. At the moment of touching the ball and releasing the shot, Gao Wen changed the power state of his wrist and racket surface. It seems that he should be hitting the ball flat, but he created a strong Outspin serve.

Ji Long didn't judge correctly, and Martin also didn't notice Gao Wen's hidden changes.

Martin thinks it's a bit interesting. It seems that after the autumn season, Gao Wen has indeed been studying and practicing. These playstyles have not been seen in the previous four months. It is not known how far Gao Wen has studied.

In the eyes of many people, tennis is a hard power sport, strength, speed and spin, the suppression of these absolute strengths is often irreversible.

Gao Wen once thought so too, but in his last life, after leaving tennis, he watched tennis matches as a spectator, especially the duels between top players, and gradually felt that tennis should be a game of suppression and countermeasures. The game is not only to play to one's own strengths, but also a contest of mind and spirit.

From tactical arrangement and combination to game timing, to prediction and calculation, and finally to maintaining momentum and tenacity of will, the game at the spiritual level even occupies a more important position to some extent—of course, the premise is still your own body and technology Able to support your own tactical layout.

Just like a chess game.

The advantages of absolute strength and absolute speed are unquestionable, but not irreversible. This is the charm of tennis.

Gao Wen never thought that he would be able to stand on the court again. His understanding and reading of tennis had undergone tremendous changes, and now was his chance to see if his tennis could really usher in a radical improvement.

Ji Long was slightly annoyed, mainly because his prediction was wrong. Gao Wen's serve position was completely wrong, and he needed to concentrate on himself.

Patting his forehead, Jilong came to the other side of the court again, preparing to receive the serve in the first zone—

The rules of serving, tennis and table tennis are the same:

For the first serve, stand on the right side of the court, which is called "one zone", or "tie zone". When serving, you need to serve to the diagonal service zone, which also means that the receiver Stand in the second district.

The second serve comes to the left side of the court, which is called the "second zone", or the "preemptive zone". Correspondingly, the receiver returns to the first zone to face the serve.

and so on.

Every time you serve and receive a serve, you need to constantly move back and forth between the first zone and the second zone.

In the link of serving and receiving, if the serve is not touched by the opponent, it will directly form a dead ball, which is called "ACE". UU Reading www.uukanshu.com This is called "serve to score directly", or "serve straight to score" for short.

Whether it is the former or the latter, it can be seen that the importance of the serve can be directly scored without confrontation.

Jilong's attention has been fully concentrated, staring at Gao Wen's racket and throwing the ball - according to the position of the throwing ball and the angle of the racket, it is often possible to predict the starting point of the ball; at the same time, like table tennis, one must keep an eye on the ball , pay attention to the rotation, and seize the opportunity when receiving the serve.

Kick off!

Kick off!

Jilong jumped lightly on the spot to maintain the vitality of his body's center of gravity, and then he could see the tennis ball flying towards the middle of the service area—

Flat serve?

Gao Wen was constrained by his shortcoming in strength. When he hit the serve with all his strength, the speed of the ball was not fast, which was just the average level of NCAA men's tennis. He did not take advantage of his height at all. For Jilong, receiving the serve was not too much of a challenge.

Kick off!

move!

Giron moved a little out of the way, ready to catch the ball with a forehand, but didn't expect—

Oops!

After the tennis ball hit the ground, it formed a fast topspin, and the speed of the ball, which seemed unhurried, accelerated after it bounced off the ground. It moved towards Jilong's position, and before he could completely get out of the way, the tennis ball was already close in front of him. Zoom in, zoom in again.

Jilong barely opened half of his body. Before his right arm could fully stretch out, the racket had already felt the forward force of the tennis ball. As a last resort, he used the strength of his upper body to forcefully turn and push the tennis ball back. , Completed the catch dangerously and dangerously.

Damn it!

He made a wrong judgment again!
