Nadal's physical fitness is one of the best among professional tennis players, and he never thinks about physical strength in his usual games.

Tennis is not a very strenuous sport, the same exercise time, basketball, football, in terms of physical exertion is greater than tennis, even if the court is smaller badminton, the athlete in the same time to move more distance than tennis. Coupled with the rest when switching serves and switching courts, a tennis match of more than two hours is not very stressful for the athletes. Imagine if it is basketball or football, let the player play for more than two hours in a row, must be tired and lie down, but the tennis player can still face the end with a smile after the game, which also illustrates this from the side.

But today's game is a little different, often playing a long round of more than ten or twenty beats, and there are more than 30 deuces, and more importantly, both sides are running non-stop, at this time although the game lasted for an hour, but in fact, the physical consumption of the athletes is about the same as the usual two-hour game.

It is normal to play a tennis game for two hours, and the physical strength of a tennis player is enough to last 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 situation is completely different. For example, if an ordinary person runs 1000 meters and asks him to finish it in 8 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 4 minutes, he will definitely need to exert his strength to run, and he will generally feel tired when he reaches the finish line.

This is also the case with Nadal, who has compressed his usual physical exertion from two hours to one hour. As the game went on and the pace of physical exertion increased, Nadal's body began to show some symptoms of fatigue. The first thing that came to mind was that his explosiveness had decreased, so his running looked like it was half a beat slower, but Nadal's reflexes were still agile, but his tired body was starting to lose some time.

On the next ball, Nadal served very well, and the running after the kick-off was also very positive, but after more than a dozen shots, fatigue hit again. He was suppressed by Zhang Guan again and then lost the ball.

The two sides ended the first set with a score of 7-5, and Zhang Guan won the victory, which took a total of 1 hour and 10 minutes, and there was no special timeout in between, which can be described as an extra-long match. But the game was not dull, and it was a fierce game with no urine points in the whole game.

It's just that the result of the first set made many spectators unacceptable for a while, and their "King of Clay" Nadal actually lost the first set first. Fortunately, it was a best-of-five match, and a loss in the first set was not fatal for Nadal. In the usual races. Nadal has had too many comebacks from 1-0 down.

After a short break between sets, Nadal sat in a chair on the sidelines, wiped the sweat from his head with a towel and drank some more water. At this time, there was a slight soreness in the muscles of the legs.

People often don't feel muscle fatigue when they continue to exercise, and once they rest, they feel very heavy and don't even want to move. That's the case with Nadal right now, he's excited and doesn't feel tired. And as soon as you stop to rest, that feeling of exhaustion will immediately appear.

"I'm a little tired, I've just played a game, how can I feel tired?" Nadal looked at the clock on the wall and realized that the set had been played for more than an hour.

"I've been playing for so long, and I don't think I've ever played such a long set! No wonder I feel tired. Nadal rubbed the muscles in his legs, hoping that the soreness would subside as soon as possible and not affect his performance, while he also looked at Zhang Guan on the other side.

"I'm already tired, I think Zhang Guan is similar to me, he must be tired! I feel that Zhang Guan's running is as frequent as mine, and his height and weight are higher than mine, so he will definitely consume more physical strength than me, and I still have an advantage in terms of physical reserves! Nadal thought about it, and the frustration of losing the first set was gone, and he felt that if he kept going, he would definitely win.

At this time, Zhang Guan's situation was indeed as Nadal expected, and his physical strength was also consumed a lot.

"If you run at a constant speed, the physical exertion may be less, but playing tennis always has to accelerate and stop, which is even more physically exertional! If you continue to consume it like this, you won't be able to run for a while. Zhang Guan poured a bottle of physical strength potion without hesitation, and suddenly felt full of strength.

However, the fatigue caused by the original muscles due to exercise cannot be alleviated by physical strength potions, which is a physiological necessity, just like birth, old age, sickness and death, and there are no props in the system that can solve this problem. So now Zhang Guan, although his physical strength is very abundant, the fatigue is still there.

When people are tired, the physical exertion will always be faster, which means that the physical strength that Zhang Guangang has replenished now will be faster than the one just now.

"I need to be more proactive!" Zhang Guan looked at the countdown display on the side of the field, and there was less than a few tens of seconds to count, so he picked up his racket and walked onto the field again.

……

At the start of the second set, the two players were still running. After a short break, Nadal recovered his strength, at least for the first six games, there were no physical problems, and the two sides also held each other's serves, and the score of 3-3 showed that this was still a close battle.

However, in the next two games, Nadal's stamina once again limited his movement, and although Nadal managed to hold his serve, he did not play as smoothly as he did at the beginning of the second game.

At the end of the eight games, the score came to a 4-4 draw, and before you knew it, the two sides ran for more than 20 minutes in a row.

Start, burst, stop, hit, restart, burst, stop, hit...... The two players on the court do their best, but in this rhythmic movement, if one of them can't keep up with the rhythm, it means losing.

Nadal gritted his teeth, he was running hard, he was keeping his tempo high, and he didn't dare to let up in the slightest, because if he did, it would mean that he could lose the game.

At the same time, Nadal was silently praying in his heart that Zhang Guan would suddenly lose his physical strength and suddenly be unable to keep up with this fast-paced game.

In Zhang Guan's heart, he is also waiting for Nadal to be the first to lose his physical strength, and he is also waiting for Nadal to be the first to be unable to keep up with this fast pace of the game.

Gradually, Nadal's rhythm slowed down slightly, although it was not obvious, but Zhang Guan on the opposite side still felt this for the first time.

"Nadal slowed down! His physical strength should no longer be able to maintain such a high burst! This is a good opportunity, just take advantage of the present and win this game in one fell swoop! Zhang Guan used a bottle of stamina potion for himself again.

The next moment, a vigorous Zhang Guan appeared in front of Nadal's eyes.
