基础步法(二) Split Step.docx

本来今天的安排是继续学文化的，看了匿名网友的留言，觉得“准备姿势”而非其它，觉得不对，就把“分腿垫步”也学了吧！回到网站FYB还有如下一句话：The Ready PositionThe ready position is the position you want to be in when you wait for your opponent to hit you the tennis ball. It allows you to move in any direction as fast as possible, which is important because you dont know where you opponent is going to hit the tennis ball.准备姿势是你在等待对手击球时的姿势，因为你不知道你的对手将会将球打向哪里，所以这个姿势能保证你能向任何方向快速移动！所以应该决不是“或给对方准备好的示意”，当然匿名同学是个很有礼貌的选手，这个值得我们学习！Split StepThe split step is a small hop you take from the ready position. It allows you to move more explosively around the tennis court than you otherwise would be able to.分腿垫步分腿垫步是准备姿势后的一个小跳步，让你的移动更具爆发力！The split step and the ready position are very closely related, and mechanically speaking the split step is simply a small hop you take while in the ready position.准备姿势下来就是分腿垫步，简单的讲分腿垫步就是准备姿势后的一个小跳步。When you perform a split step and take that small hop, you arent looking to get a ton of air. You only want to get about an inch high off the tennis court. Whats critically important is that when you land, your weight needs to come down and load up in your legs. When you come down from your split step, you want the weight to equally compress both of your legs like springs so that you can push off explosively in the direction of the tennis ball. This is much more effective than being flat-footed when your opponent hits you the tennis ball.既然分腿垫步是一个小跳步，你所要做的就是离地1 英寸（= 2.539999918 厘米(公分)），最关键的是落地时，重心降低落于腿。分腿垫步后下落时，重心分配于两腿间，两腿象弹簧一样向来球方向极具爆发力地蹬起，这比我们直直的站在那里有效多了！Now that we know the split step is mechanically just a small hop, lets talk about when you want to split step and how you time your split. You want to split step every single time your opponent is about to make contact with the tennis ball. Since you dont know where your opponent is going to hit it, you need to be able to move in any direction as explosively as possible, and performing a split step is going to allow you to do that.现在我们知道了分腿垫步就是一个小跳步，现在我们来讲讲分腿垫步的时机。你要做的是在你对手击球时分腿垫步，由于你不知道你的对手将会把球打向何方，所以你需要爆发力去尽快移动到位，而分腿垫步是你能完成这些的保证。Timing the split step correctly is slightly tougher than just performing the motion. The key is that you want to be back on the ground, with your weight down and your legs loaded up (so you are at your most explosive) at the exact moment that you realize where your opponent has hit the tennis ball. This of course means that the ball will be well off his strings. Depending on your own reaction time and how hard your opponent has hit the tennis ball, it may be crossing the net toward you by the time you realize where it is going. Knowing that you want to be down and loaded up after your opponent has hit can and should help you time the rest of the motion. Practically speaking, you will generally be just coming off the ground, or in midair, at the precise moment your opponent is making contact with the ball.掌握正确的分腿垫步时机比动作本身更难，动作的关键是着地、重心向下、在对手击球的瞬间极具爆发力的蹬起，也就是球刚离开拍弦的时候。当然这也取决于你的反应速度和对手的击球力度，有时侯当你意识到这些的时候球已过网！要意识到当对手击球时你要先向下然后蹬起，这样的时机才能帮助你完成剩余的动作。简单而言，就是在对手接触球的瞬间，你应该是刚好离地或已在半空中。Look at the video above of Andrej and me rallying. As Andrej swings forward, I hop into the air. At the moment Andrej makes contact, Im at the top of my hop. I land as the tennis ball is traveling back toward me and at the instant the instant I realize where its headed. When I land, my weight comes down to load up my legs like springs. Now I can move out to the tennis ball explosively and adjust to hit. As I prepare to hit and start swinging forward towards the ball, Andre begins to perform his split step. Hes in the air when I make contact, and when he lands, he knows where the tennis ball is headed and begins to move toward it. Finally, as Andrej again swings forward to hit, I perform my split step so that I am in midair as he makes contact.现在来看看我和Andrej的录像，当Andrej向前挥击，我跳步向上在空中，当Andrej来到击球点，我跳到最高点，当球飞向我的瞬间我落地并分析球的方向，当我落地时，我的腿象弹簧一样，重心向下落于两腿，现在我能移动到位并调整击球。而当我准备向前挥击时，Andrej做我相同的动作！反之当Andrej击球时我有开始分腿垫步！Now that weve seen the split step in action, lets take a look at the split steps of a couple different pros on tour. First, we have Radek Stepanek hitting his split. Notice that hes about an inch off the ground, his knees are bent, his upper body is relaxed and the tennis racket is out in front of him and pointed up. Up next is Tomas Johanssen. If you took his body position here on his split step and just moved him down a few inches onto the tennis court, hed be in the ready position. Lets go back to Tommy Haas, and you can again see here that his body position is virtually identical to the ready position while he is split stepping. Tommy Haas is one of the best examples of this on tour.现在我们通过一些职业选手的分腿垫步来学习这个动作，首先我们看Radek Stepanek的垫步，注意他离地1英寸，曲膝，上体放松，球拍在提前并拍头向上。然后是Tomas Johanssen，如果你将他分腿垫步的位置向下移动一寸，你会发现其实就是准备姿势的动作。然后我们回到托米哈斯，你将再一次看见他在垫步中的身体位置与准备动作一样一样的！哈斯是最好的样本。Finally, lets take a look at two pros hitting here, Gael Monfils and Marat Safin. Lets first zoom in on Monfils, and we can see that hes making contact with the tennis ball. Gael serves very hard, and averages around 130 mph. If we move over to Safin, we can see that at the instant Monfils is making contact, Safin is in the process of hitting his split step and is rising up off the tennis court.In the next shot of this sequence, Monfils has now hit the tennis ball and it is traveling towards Safin. If we zoom in again on Safin, we can see that even though the ball is about to cross the net, Safin is still at the top of his hop during the split step.最后我们来看看两个职业选手：孟菲尔斯和萨芬，先注意孟菲尔斯来到击球点，孟菲尔斯的发球非常重，平均时速在130mph上下，然后我们来看萨芬，在孟菲尔斯来到击球点瞬间，萨芬分腿垫步向上，在下一组动作，我们会发现孟菲尔斯已完成击球，球飞向萨芬，我们甚至会发现球已飞过球网，而萨芬还在跳步的最高处。What I want to highlight with this point is that even at an extremely high level of play, where players are pounding the tennis ball at upwards of 130 mph, the returner is not landing and split stepping before he knows where the ball is going. This is critically important, and I want to emphasize this point again: In the second picture of Monfils and Safin, you and I can see qui
