Chapter 182: Nadal who is physically exhausted
After the excitement, the narrator was about to ask Director Wang's opinion, but saw that he was frowning. Fastest updates
When the narrator saw it, he thought that Director Wang had some opinions, and he didn't agree with what he said.
But now it's a live game, and although the commentator is unhappy, he doesn't show it, otherwise there will be a live broadcast accident, and the work will be lost when the time comes.
"Director Wang, do you have any different opinions?" When the commentator said different views, he accentuated his tone and signaled Director Wang to pay attention to the occasion, this is a live broadcast game.
Director Wang's voice immediately sounded from the side, and he said his opinion: "For now, Li Cai has the advantage of one game, but the time of this game has ended in Li Cai's previous rounds, not just one game." You must know that Li Cai is originally an offensive player, so the pace of the game will be faster, while Nadal is more defensive, the pace of the game will definitely be slower, and even Nadal can be said to be the strongest defensive player on the clay court. Although Li Cai is one game ahead, his physical exertion is much more than in previous games, especially Nadal's physical strength can be said to be the most powerful tennis player, and Li Cai's performance has always been unsuitable for playing durable games, which is also the reason why he has strong offensive ability and ends the game quickly. I estimate that even if Li Cai wins one game, it may lead to physical exhaustion and being overtaken by Nadal. ”
The commentator listened to Coach Wang's analysis, checked the time of the first game, and Li Cai's previous performance, and found that what Coach Wang said was very reasonable.
…………
The second game began, similar to the first, although both men held serve, but the game was first, deuced, precise, and deuced...... In this game, the two sides experienced many deuces before they were divided.
As in the previous game, Li Cai began to explode at 5-5 and used a different technique to catch Nadal off guard, achieve a break, and then hold serve to win the second game.
Li Cai is only one game away from victory, as long as he wins one game.
After the second game, Nadal is now 0:2 behind, there is no way back, and he will be eliminated after losing one more game.
"I'm Nadal, the king of the French Open, and I can't lose to the same guy over and over again. ”
At the beginning of the third game, Nadal played extremely aggressively, he ran very actively, his speed was also very fast, the defense became more and more strict, completely ignoring the consumption of physical strength, every point must be fought, after all, if he lost the game, his physical strength was still retained, it would not be in vain.
Nadal suddenly increased the intensity of his defense, and the momentum of Saburo was already desperate, which made Li Cai a little uncomfortable, and he always felt that Nadal had become powerful.
As a result, Li Cai found through the eye of data that Nadal's tennis ability value has now reached 99, which is the same as his own tennis ability value.
"Nadal is worthy of being the "King of Clay", his style of play has a bonus on the clay court, the original ability value of 97 can reach 98, and now he is desperate, it has reached 99, but how long can you maintain this state now?"
Li Cai knows that after the ability value reaches 99, although he only wants to be a little worse, it can be said that there is a world of difference, but Nadal reaches 99 points is not permanent, and it may decline and change back at any time.
In the blink of an eye, the score of this game changed to 5:3, but it was not Li Cai who took the lead, but Nadal.
"It's a bit passive, but I just have to let Nadal use more stamina, I don't believe that his stamina can support him to maintain this level of strength, and when the stamina drops, he just has a weak heart. Li Cai arranged the tactics in his heart, just like Nadal wanted to consume Li Cai's physical strength before, so that he did not have the physical strength to finish the game.
Li Cai did not get impatient, in the French Open, what the laggards need most is not a stormy counterattack, but a calm mind and indomitable will.
What's more, it doesn't matter if you lose a game strategically, as long as you win the game in the end.
Just like the 36 strategies in the Art of War, take a defensive position when fighting, recharge your energy, let the enemy attack, and then take advantage of his fatigue to win the battle, and the same is true for tennis matches.
Li Cai is now using the strategy of temporarily avoiding the edge, which means not to compete head-on with the opponent, and to adopt roundabout tactics to avoid the opponent's attack, which is a kind of shrinking defense strategy.
In the third game, Nadal finally pulled one back.
The audience at the scene was also impressed by Nadal's indomitable will, and they began to cheer for the "King of Clay", while the TV viewers in China showed anxious expressions on their faces, worried that Li Cai would be physically exhausted and would be chased by Nadal and win the match.
The commentator of Central Electric took a deep breath, very worried that Li Cai would lose the game, and was said in a slightly dull voice by Director Wang: "I didn't expect this game to be so hard, Li Cai didn't play so hard against Feferel in the last game." It seems that Li Cai and Nadal have done their best, both sides are chess opponents, and the outcome of this game is unpredictable!"
And Coach Wang on the side also said: "Yes! I hope Li Cai can win the game in the fourth game, and don't let Nadal drag it to the fifth game, after all, there is a difference in physical strength between the two, and Nadal's fighting spirit will become more and more high-spirited after winning in a row, and it is likely that Nadal will win the game in one go, achieve overtake, and lose the game!"
The fourth game began, and the score of the two was still very tight, almost one point for you, one point for me, and one point for me to rise alternately, and this game came to a tie.
Director Wang saw it and sighed, and what he was most worried about had happened.
"This match is about to turn into a physical contest! I guess it's going to be a tiebreaker in the fifth game. Director Wang didn't wait for the commentator to ask himself, and then explained: "The first game is 12 rounds, the second game is also 12 rounds, and the third game is 10 rounds, plus the 7 balls that were 40-40 in each game before, let me calculate...... It's forty-one, they have played a total of forty-one rounds in the above three rounds, and there are often some long rounds of more than twenty beats, which is very much the consumption of physical strength, not to mention that the two of them have been running violently, and the physical consumption is even greater, maybe it won't be long before one of the side's physical strength will not be able to hold on!
As soon as Wang's voice fell, Nadal made a mistake, and Li took the opportunity to attack and take the lead.
The camera immediately focused on Nadal, who frowned as if he was thinking about something.
"Why is Li Cai's pace a little faster than just now? Isn't he supposed to have no physical strength?" Nadal recalled the goal just now: "I probably know that it is not good for me to drag it out until the fifth game, and I plan to fight in the fourth game to solve myself, it seems that I have to strengthen my defense." ”
Nadal didn't realize that it wasn't Lee who had gotten faster, but he had slowed down.
Li Cai has already found through the eye of data that Nadal's ability value has changed back to 98 points, and it is no longer the 99 points that exploded in the third game.
And the mistake that occurred just now just now just shows that his opportunity has come.
Among professional tennis players, Nadal's physical strength can be regarded as one of the best, considered to be top-notch, and in ordinary competitions, Nadal has never considered the problem of physical strength.
Tennis is not a very strenuous sport, in the same exercise time, basketball and football are more physically exerted than tennis, even if the court is smaller, the distance that players can move in the same time is greater than tennis. Combined with the break time for switching serve and switching courts, a tennis match of more than two hours is not particularly stressful for athletes.
But today's game is a little different, often playing more than ten or twenty beats, and there are more than 30 rounds, more importantly, both sides are running non-stop, at this time although the game has been going on for more than two hours, almost three hours, but in fact, the physical consumption of athletes is similar to the usual four hours of competition.
It is normal to play a tennis game for two hours, and the physical strength of a tennis player is enough to last for two hours, not to mention Nadal, who is known for his physical strength, but the consumption of two hours is compressed into one hour, and the three games are all in high-intensity defensive running, so the situation is completely different.
For example, if an ordinary person runs 1000 meters and lets him finish it in 10 minutes, it must be very easy, and there is no physical exertion, and his face is not red and his heart does not beat when he runs to the finish line, but if he is allowed to run in 3 or 4 minutes, he must need to run desperately, and he will generally feel tired and about to collapse when he reaches the finish line.
This is exactly what Nadal is experiencing now, with the usual four hours of physical exertion compressed into two hours of use, and as the game time goes on, the rate of physical exertion increases, and Nadal's body begins to show some symptoms of fatigue. The first thing that appeared was that his explosiveness had decreased, and his stats had dropped to 98 points, so his running looked like it was half a beat slower, but in fact Nadal's reflexes were still agile, but his tired body was starting to lose track of his reactions.
And when Li Cai broke out in the third game, he kept his head up, saved a lot of physical strength, and upgraded his natural endurance and greatly strengthened his physical strength, which is no longer what it used to be.
In the next round of the fourth game, Nadal served very well, and his running after the kick-off was also very positive, but after more than a dozen beats, fatigue hit again, his physical strength declined, and he was continuously suppressed by Li Cai, and then lost points and was broken by Li Cai.
The two sides ended the fourth game with a score of 6:3, and Li Cai won the duel with Nadal, won the semifinals, and entered the final of the French Open.
The match lasted 3 hours and 43 minutes, and there were no special timeouts in between, which can be described as an extraordinarily long game. But the game wasn't dull, and it was a full-fledged race.
It's just that the result of the semi-finals made many spectators unacceptable for a while, and the "King of Clay" Nadal they supported actually lost the game, and the overseas Chinese at the scene had already begun to celebrate and cheer for Li Cai!
In the midst of applause, Nadal came to his senses, he looked at the final score again, and confirmed that he had indeed lost the match, at this point he felt as if he was sleepwalking, and still could not believe that he had lost, but he stepped forward, shook hands with Li Cai, and congratulated him.
"Congratulations, Lee, I hope you can win the French Open again, after all, you beat my opponent twice on clay. Nadal held Li Cai's hand across the net, and then gave Li Cai sincere blessings.
"Thank you, Rafael, you're great too, today's match was the toughest tennis match I've ever had. Li Cai paused for a moment and said very seriously: "After all, I said that I want to win the annual gold slam this year." ”
Nadal listened to it, he could only smile bitterly, before the end of today's game, he scoffed at Li Cai's bold words to win the annual Golden Slam, and he didn't believe it, but after Li Cai defeated him today, he felt that Li Cai was very likely to achieve this goal, this feat in the tennis world!
Nadal showed his open-mindedness, but looking at Li Cai, he couldn't help but ask: "I have a question, I really can't help but want to ask you, are you really only sixteen years old?"
After all, many athletes lie about their age because they are too old to have much potential, and some lie about their age for honors and the like.
After seeing Li Cai nodding in confirmation, Nadal could only sigh and said: "It seems that you will rule the tennis world for a long time in the future." ”
Li Cai just smiled and did not say that he planned to retire after winning the annual Golden Slam this year.
The semi-finals between Li Cai and Nadal are over, but the semi-finals between Federer and Djokovic have not yet begun, and Li Cai will not know who their opponents will be until their match is over.
But now, Li Cai is going back to the hotel, take a good rest and relax, so that he can recuperate enough energy to prepare for the French Open final.
