Bab 353: Zhang Guan the living dragon and tiger
Among professional tennis players, Nadal's physical fitness can be regarded as one of the best. In the usual game, Nadal has never considered the issue of physical strength.
Tennis is not a very vigorous sport. In the same exercise time, basketball and football have greater physical exertion than tennis. Even for badminton with a smaller court, the distance traveled by athletes at the same time is also greater than tennis. In addition to the rest during the service change and the exchange of courts, a tennis game of more than two hours is not very stressful for the athletes. Imagine if it is basketball or football, let the athletes play for more than two hours, they must be tired and have to get down, but the tennis players can still play till 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 long rounds of more than ten or twenty shots, and there are more than thirty equals shots being played. More importantly, both sides are running non-stop, but the consumption of athletes' physical energy is almost the same as the two-hour game.
It is normal to play a tennis game for two hours. A tennis player's physical strength is enough to support two hours, not to mention Nadal, who has good physical strength, but the consumption of two hours is compressed into one hour. It is completely different. For example, if an ordinary man runs 1,000 meters and finishes it in 8 minutes, it must be very easy, and he can't talk about any physical exertion. When he runs to the end, he doesn't blush or jump; but if he needs to finish in 4 minutes, then he needs to work hard to run, and he usually will feel tired when he reaches the end.
Now that Nadal is experiencing this situation, the usual two hours of physical energy consumption is compressed into one hour of use, and as the time of the game goes, the speed of physical energy consumption is also increasing, and some symptoms of fatigue have started to appear on Nadal's body. The first thing that appeared in the situation was that his explosiveness had decreased, so his movements seemed to be half a beat slow. Nadal's reaction was still agile, but the tired body of his began to fail to keep pace.
The next ball, Nadal's serve is still very good, the running after the kick-off is also very positive, but after a dozen shots, exhaustion hit again, he was continuously suppressed by Zhang Guan and then lost the ball.
The two sides ended the first set of battles with a score of 7-5. Zhang Guan won the game. This game took a total of 1 hour and 10 minutes, and there was no special suspension in the middle. It was a very long game. But the game was not dull, and it was a fierce game with no bathroom breaks.
It was just that the results of the first set of games made many live audiences find it unacceptable for a time, and their "Clay King" Nadal even took the lead in losing the first set. Fortunately, this is a five-set, three-win game. Losing the first set is not fatal to Nadal. In the usual game, Nadal had too many 1-0 backward to complete the turnaround experience.
After a short break between the two games, Nadal sat in a chair on the side of the court, wiped the sweat on his head with a towel, and drank some water. At this time, there was a trace of sourness in his leg muscles.
People often do not feel muscle fatigue when they continue to exercise, and once they rest, they feel very heavy and do not even want to move. Nadal is now like this. He is very excited during the game and does not feel tired, and once he stopped to rest, that kind of fatigue will immediately appear.
"It's a bit tiring after I just played a game. How can I feel tired?" Nadal looked at the clock on the wall, only to find that the game has gone on for an hour.
"It turns out that I have played for so long in a row. I never seem to have played such a long game! No wonder I feel tired." Nadal rubbed the muscles of his legs, hoping that the sourness would recede as soon as possible. After the play, he also looked at Zhang Guan on the other side.
"I feel tired all this time. I think Zhang Guan is similar to me. He must be tired too! I felt that Zhang Guan ran as much as I did, and his height and weight exceed me. He will consume more physical energy than me. In terms of the physical reserve, I still have an advantage!" Nadal thought of this, the kind of depressed feeling in the first game was wiped out, he felt that as long as he continued to insist, he can win.
At this time Zhang Guan's situation was what Nadal expected, and his physical strength also consumed a lot.
"If I was running at a constant speed, the physical exertion may be less, but I always have to accelerate the emergency stop when playing tennis, which will consume more physical energy! If I continue to use this, I will be unable to run for a while." Zhang Guan did not hesitate to pour a bottle of physical potion, and suddenly felt his body full of strength.
But the kind of fatigue caused by the exercise of the original muscles can not be relieved by the physical potion. This is a physiological necessity, just like life and death, there are no props in the system to solve this problem. Therefore, although Zhang Guan's physical strength is very abundant, his fatigue is still there.
When a person is fatigued, physical exertion will always be faster, which means that Zhang Guan now replenishes his full physical energy, which will consume faster than just now.
"I need to be more active!" Zhang Guan looked at the countdown display card on the side of the arena and had a countdown time of less than tens of seconds, so he lifted the racket and walked onto the arena again.
...
At the beginning of the second set, the two players were still running. After a short break just now, Nadal's physical strength has recovered. At least in the first six games, there was no physical problem. The two sides also kept each other's serve. The 3-3 score shows that this is still an evenly matched.
But in the next two games, Nadal's physical strength once again restricted his running. Although Nadal finally managed to save his serve, he did not play as smoothly as the beginning of the second game.
At the end of the eight games, the score reached 4-4. Unconsciously, the two sides ran for more than 20 minutes in a row.
Start, burst, emergency stop, swinging, restart, restart, stop again, hit the ball again... The two players on the field did their best, but in this rhythmic movement, once one of them can't keep up with the rhythm, it means losing.
Nadal gritted his teeth, he was running very hard, maintaining a high rhythm, he did not dare to relax at all, because once relaxed, it meant that he might lose the game.
At the same time, Nadal was silently praying that Zhang Guan would suddenly lose his strength and would suddenly be unable to keep up with this fast-paced game.
In Zhang Guan's heart, he was also waiting for Nadal to be physically weak, and he was also waiting for Nadal to be unable to keep up with this fast pace of competition.
Gradually, Nadal's sense of rhythm slightly slowed down, although it was not obvious, the opposite Zhang Guan felt it for the first time.
"Nadal has slowed down! His physical strength should not be able to continue to maintain this high burst! It is a good opportunity to take advantage of this now and win this set in one fell swoop!" Zhang Guan used a bottle of physical potion again.
At the next moment, living proof dragons and tigers appeared in front of Nadal.
