All-round Athlete

Chapter 351

Among professional tennis players, Nadal's physical fitness can be regarded as one of the best. In normal games, Nadal has never considered the issue of physical strength.

Tennis is not a very strenuous sport. During the same exercise time, basketball and football consume more physical energy than tennis. Even badminton with a smaller field, the movement distance of athletes in the same time is greater than that of tennis. tennis. Coupled with the breaks during service transition and court exchange, a tennis match of more than two hours does not put too much physical pressure on the players. Just imagine if it is basketball or football, if you let the athletes play for more than two hours, they will definitely be exhausted. However, tennis players can still face the end with a smile after the game, which also illustrates this point from the side.

But today's game is a bit different. Long rounds of more than ten or twenty beats are often played, and there have been more than 30 equal points. What's more important is that both sides are running non-stop. Hours, but in fact the physical consumption of the athletes is about the same as a usual two-hour game.

It is normal to play a game of tennis for two hours. A tennis player is physically strong 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. It's completely different. For example, if an ordinary person runs 1,000 meters, it must be very easy for him to finish it in 8 minutes, and there is no physical exertion, and his face will not be red or his heart beats when he reaches the finish line; but if he is asked to finish it in 4 minutes, then It must be necessary to run hard, and you will generally feel tired when you reach the finish line.

This is also what happened to Nadal now. The usual two hours of physical energy consumption was compressed into one hour of use, and as the game time went on, the speed of physical energy consumption became greater and greater, and Nadal's body began to appear. Some symptoms of fatigue. The first thing that happened was that his explosive power had declined, so his running seemed to be half a beat slower. In fact, Nadal's reaction was still quick, but his tired body began to lose the rhythm.

On the next shot, Nadal still served very well and ran very actively after the kick-off, but after a dozen or so shots, fatigue struck again, and he was continuously suppressed by Zhang Guan, and then lost the shot.

The two sides ended the first set with a score of 7-5, and Zhang Guan won. The match took 1 hour and 10 minutes, and there was no special pause in the middle. It can be described as a very long game. But the game was not dull, and it was still a fierce game with no urine points.

It's just that the result of the first set made many spectators unacceptable for a while. Their "King of Clay" Nadal actually lost the first set first. Fortunately, this is a five-set best-of-three match, and losing the first set is not fatal to Nadal. In the usual games, Nadal has had too many comebacks after falling behind 1-0.

During the short break between the two sets, Nadal sat on a chair beside the court, wiped the sweat from his head with a towel, and drank some water. At this time, the muscles of his legs felt a little sore.

People often don’t feel muscle fatigue when they continue exercising, but once they rest, they feel heavy and don’t even want to move. Nadal is like this now. He is very excited during the game and doesn’t feel Fatigue, and the moment you stop to rest, that fatigue will show up immediately.

"I'm a little tired. I've only played one set. How can I feel tired?" Nadal looked at the clock on the wall, only to realize that the game had been played for more than an hour.

"It turns out that I have been playing continuously for so long. I don't think I have ever played such a long game! No wonder I feel tired." Nadal rubbed the muscles of his legs, hoping that the soreness would subside as soon as possible, so as not to affect After playing, he also looked at Zhang Guan on the other side.

"I'm already feeling tired. I think Zhang Guan is about the same as me. He must be tired too! I feel that Zhang Guan runs as frequently as me, and his height and weight exceed me. He will definitely consume more energy than me, and I still have an advantage in terms of energy reserves!" Nadal thought of this, and the depressed feeling of losing the first set disappeared, and he felt that as long as he continued to persist, he would definitely Victory can be achieved.

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 you always have to speed up and stop suddenly when playing tennis, which consumes even more physical strength! If you continue to consume like this, you will not be able to run after a while." Zhang Guan poured a bottle of stamina potion without hesitation, and suddenly felt full of strength.

However, the original muscle fatigue caused by exercise cannot be alleviated by physical potions. This is a physiological necessity, just like birth, old age, sickness and death. There are no props in the system that can solve this problem. So Zhang Guan now has plenty of physical strength, but his fatigue is still there.

When a person is tired, physical energy will always be exhausted faster, that is to say, the physical energy that Zhang Guangang has replenished now will be consumed faster than before.

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

...

The second set started, and the two players were still running non-stop. After a short rest just now, Nadal's physical strength has recovered. At least in the first six rounds, there was no physical problem. A close battle.

But in the next two rounds, Nadal's physical strength once again restricted his running. Although Nadal finally managed to keep his serve, he did not play as smoothly as he did at the beginning of the second round.

At the end of the eight innings, the score came to a 4-4 tie. Unknowingly, the two sides ran for more than 20 minutes.

Start, burst, stop, hit the ball, start again, burst again, stop suddenly, hit the ball again... The two players on the field try their best, but in this kind of rhythmic sports, once one of them can't keep up with the rhythm , means losing.

Nadal gritted his teeth. He was running hard and maintaining a high tempo. He dared not relax in the slightest, because once he relaxed, it meant that he might lose the game.

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

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

Gradually, Nadal's sense of rhythm slowed down slightly. Although it was not obvious, Zhang Guan on the opposite side felt it immediately.

"Nadal has slowed down! His physical strength should not be able to continue to maintain such a high explosion! This is a good opportunity, let's take advantage of this now and win this set in one fell swoop!" Zhang Guan used another one for himself A bottle of stamina potion.

The next moment, a lively Zhang Guan appeared in front of Nadal.
