MTL - Match Point-Chapter 1292 Baseline

Competitive sports, where masters compete, are often about psychology and will. The more critical the moment, the more determined the party can often win.

It is precisely because of this that if you hold the match point but fail to win the game, the subsequent psychological fluctuations cannot be ignored, and the loosening of belief may become a turning point.

The party holding the match point is the leader; the party facing the match point is the laggard. Under such circumstances, it is easier for the laggards to stay focused, take a fight, and often be able to exert themselves after completely unloading the burden. All the abilities, and even super-level burning small universe.

In sharp contrast, if the leader loses the opportunity to kill the game and loses the lead, the change in psychological position may produce a domino effect, either impatient, wavering, or mentality fluctuations that make it difficult to calm down, and then the difficulty of re-establishing the state of the game is also double.

Of course, a tennis match is somewhat similar to a marathon. The position of the leader and the chaser may change all the time, and the position of mentality may also continue to change. Potential fluctuations in mentality.

Opportunities are always there, and the focus is on psychology, who can grasp it, who can keep it, and cash in on the match point.

So far, in Gao Wen's short career, he has always been a chaser, a challenger and an attacker, and he has always maintained an all-out attitude. Therefore, he has reversed and won more than once after saving the match point—

The first official game of his career faced Koginakis, and he faced Djokovic in the Paris Masters last year, all of which were true.

In this year's Australian Open final, although Djokovic did not get the match point, the three consecutive break points in the middle of the third set were basically equivalent to the match point.

However, Gao Wen has never experienced a situation where he wasted match points and then encountered a difficult situation when his opponent reversed the situation.

until now.

In the final analysis, professional arena experience is still insufficient.

Strictly speaking, this is the fourth meeting between Gao Wen and Kei Nishikori in their careers, and the situation has indeed undergone subtle changes.

In the previous three meetings, Kei Nishikori's experience, momentum, and popularity were all higher than that of Gao Wen. Kei Nishikori was the first brother in Asia and played the role of writing a new history; while Gao Wen was always born out of nowhere, chasing after him. As a rising star, he has impacted all aspects of the professional tennis world with the attitude of a dark horse.

The fourth time they met, the positions were finally reversed. Gao Wen had already moved from a chaser to a leader. Whether it was world rankings, Grand Slam breakthroughs, or off-court influence, social discussion, including the momentum of challenging historical records, Both players are in different positions.

Faced with such a situation, some people are so narrow-minded and unacceptable that it is hard to imagine that someone who was a nobody just a few short months ago is stepping on their head. Apart from talking about it, it is difficult to reverse the situation on the field.

However, some people, who are humble, sincere, and tenacious, accept the progress and rise of their opponents calmly, but show an indomitable fighting spirit, transform all emotions into motivation, do their best in a down-to-earth manner from training, and then wait for the arrival of the game, dignified and dignified. face-to-face confrontation.

Kei Nishikori belongs to the latter.

Moreover, this duel took place on the clay court. Although Kei Nishikori is not good at the venue, but more importantly, Gao Wen is a rookie.

Therefore, Kei Nishikori never gave up fighting.

When Gao Wen rushed all the way to the victory and held the match point, Kei Nishikori, who was fighting to the death, burned the small universe and launched a comprehensive counterattack.

Psychology, state, fighting spirit, morale, etc., all showed a vertical soaring momentum, and the whole game temperament was completely different.

The balance is broken.

In fact, at the end of the second set, including the match point, it was definitely not Gao Wen's abnormal performance. Gao Wen was still the same Gao Wen, and there was no fluctuation.

But Kei Nishikori really had the help of a god, and he hit a series of magic **** in a row, from rhythm control to route points, how to hit the ball so incredible, it is jaw-dropping, which is commonly known as—

Hit crazy.

That level, that state, is basically equivalent to the 2013 Madrid Masters round of 16 match against Federer. At that time, he also reached the final set. As a result, Kei Nishikori was so red-eyed that "6:2" completely suppressed Federer. Beat Federer for the first time in his career.

From the end of the second set to the beginning of the third set, Kei Nishikori maintained the peak state of Super Saiyan, took full control of the game, and played the technical style of grabbing points and compressing the rhythm to the extreme. Even on the clay court, he continued to output firepower , fully fired, firmly suppressing Gao Wen's counterattack.

In the final set, Kei Nishikori, who took the lead to serve, successfully broke Gao Wen's serve and took a "3:0" lead. Winning six games in a row and sending out an invisible egg completely reversed the wind direction of this final matchup.

Gao Wen was really in a mess.

Moreover, the situation is indeed unfavorable, the two match points before and after were not able to win, and they suffered a break as soon as the final set came up and fell behind.

Don't forget that in the final set, Kei Nishikori served first, which also means that the pressure of serving will be on Gao Wen's side throughout the whole process. The pressure made the mentality fluctuate more violently, and the whole situation is not good.

But, would Gao Wen just be caught without a fight?

The answer is 100% no, absolutely impossible.

As I said before, being in a backward position can often calm people down, and there is no room for living in the chaotic thoughts.

Slowly, Gao Wen regained his calmness and rationality.

Obviously, Kei Nishikori is at the peak of his state, his confidence is rising steadily, and his offensive success rate remains high.

However, this situation does not last long:

For one thing, Kei Nishikori gritted his teeth at the end of the second set to improve his state. The full-scale burst of adrenaline concealed his extreme physical strength and entered the super **** mode.

Secondly, such a high-frequency state consumes more physical and mental energy more intensely and ferociously. Once the nerves are relaxed, the peak of physical strength will multiply and surge~www.novelbuddy.com~ The peak of the state may show a cliff In a straight line of decline, the rhythm of the game may fall into chaos.

So, what should Gao Wen do?

To adjust your physical strength, get ready to go, and keep calm, you not only need to wait patiently for the opportunity, but also you must not mess around when the opportunity arises.

At this time, the precious value of the game against Agut was also reflected. Gao Wen's hitting ability on the clay bottom line has improved a lot. With some maneuvering, some tactics, some layout, and some stalemate, he can gradually play Gao Wen's. Style, drag the bottom line round tug-of-war.

On the one hand, in order to consume Kei Nishikori's energy and at the same time reduce the success rate and threat of Kei Nishikori's offense.

On the one hand, in order to smoothly pass through the peak of his physical strength, and look for opportunities to take the initiative.

The layout is the layout of the batting line, and it is also the layout of psychological tactics.
