Two weeks, technically thirteen days, started on Friday and ended on Thursday. I was immersed in training. Time flew by. There was no time to regret missing the Winston-Salem Gold Game.
And then, you can already feel the raging heat wave as the Grand Slam tournament approaches.
Including the superposition of natural growth and full growth potential, all attributes finally rose to 80 before setting foot on the Grand Slam for the first time.
Undoubtedly, this is good news.
When I arrived at Los Angeles International Airport, I couldn't calm down my excitement and excitement. I couldn't imagine that my dream was about to come true——
As of 2014, the only Chinese men's tennis players standing in the main draw of the four Grand Slam singles are Wu Di, a wild card at last year's Australian Open, and Zhang Ze, who passed the qualifying test at this year's Australian Open.
Simply put, Gawain is the third one.
In the last life, this was simply a dream that was out of reach and unimaginable, but now it is happening. The wonderful feeling is really difficult to describe in words. It is as if... it is as if every step forward is creating something.
History and heavy pressure make my heart feel hot.
Nervous and anxious, anticipating and excited, his mind was full of messy thoughts. Gawain had never experienced such a state in his two lifetimes, not even when he opened his eyes and realized that he was eighteen years old again.
In this way, the power of the collision between reality and dreams made Gawain somewhat worried about gains and losses.
However, after the excitement slowly subsided, Gawain fell into a drowsy sleep after the long flight.
Going from Los Angeles to New York requires crossing the entire North American continent. Even taking a plane takes more than six hours. It is a boring and long journey. Sleeping is indeed the best way. The key point is whether you can make an appointment with Zhou Gong. From Gawain
Judging from the reaction, falling asleep is a good thing.
After two consecutive weeks of boring training, although Gao Wen didn't show it, he was still holding back his anger. He let out all the regrets and depression of not being able to participate in the gold medal match. He ran towards the ultimate goal wholeheartedly. The intensity and quality of the short-term training was very good.
amazing.
Now is the time to step onto the battlefield and show yourself.
While waiting for the plane to land at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, Gao Wen woke up from his dazed sleep and had basically returned to normal——
He will not be content with just stepping onto the Grand Slam court, his goal is to win a match and advance to the second round.
The Grand Slam arena is not only a stage for making history, but also a battlefield for meeting challenges, breaking through limits, and showing yourself. There is no need to be ecstatic just because you step on the stage to create history, because this is just the first step. What will follow
There's a second step and much, much more.
Excited, still excited, after all, the Grand Slam is still extraordinary, but all the complicated thoughts have settled down, and I just focus on myself.
After successfully collecting his luggage, Gao Wen pushed the luggage trolley out of the airport and looked for his name at the door——
Tobias arrived in New York in advance, booked hotel accommodation for him, and made reservations for training venues in advance. He promised to pick him up at the airport today.
In his mind, Gawain was thinking that the last time they arrived in New York and transferred to Binghamton, they had no time to visit this world-famous metropolis. This time the competition was in Flushing, north of New York, so should they find some time?
, take a good look at the style of New York?
At the same time, he paused and scanned the whole place, looking for Tobias.
The air is slightly turbid and hot. Just after leaving the airport hall, the field of vision is blocked by buildings one after another. The smell of gasoline quietly permeates the air. You can also see the bustling crowds of people with different skin colors mixed together. Just a face-to-face meeting can
Feel the difference from Los Angeles.
"Sure enough, here is the largest Chinatown in the entire North American continent..."
With a quick glance, Gao Wen could see many Asian faces, and they should look like compatriots from his motherland, quietly embodying the melting pot style of New York.
"Ah, I don't know how the Chinese food in Chinatown here is, whether it's authentic enough or not. The Chinese food in Los Angeles is really hard to describe. I might as well cook it myself..."
While muttering in his mind, Gawain noticed a figure submerged in the crowd, raising his right hand high and waving it vigorously. He took a slight step forward, glanced at it, and reflexively looked back, because that
It's an Asian face, obviously not Tobias.
But he was immediately stunned.
Gawain quickly looked back again, and when he saw that familiar face, a surge of emotion rushed over him unexpectedly, and his eyes became slightly red, like a five-year-old child who fell down and broke his knee.
I wanted to ask my parents for help but also wanted to prove that I had grown up. In the end, I could only hold back my tears, but I still couldn't hide my grievances.
"mom……"
The call was already stuck in his throat as soon as he shouted it out. Gao Wen just stared blankly at Jiang Yanyun in the crowd, and Gao Hongli who was standing behind her as a bodyguard. He did not expect that she would be in New York at all.
Saw my parents at the airport.
It's like a world away.
No, there has indeed been a lifetime between the last time we met and this time.
Jiang Yanyun didn't seem to notice his son's turbulent emotions. He smiled and waved his right hand, restraining his voice and shouting for fear of disturbing other people around him.
"Xiao Wu!"
The sense of reality hit him instantly. Gawain pushed the luggage trolley and trotted over in two steps. His slight tears reflected the turbulence deep in his heart.
"Why are you here?"
Even though I tried my best to suppress it, I still couldn't control my excitement and excitement. It was even more exciting than participating in the US Open. Gawain's joy could be deeply felt in his body language, and the mood of others around him also soared.
It's as if I can feel the happiness.
Jiang Yanyun still had a cheerful personality and spoke cheerfully.
"Your agent invited us over to watch the game. He said that you have been working hard in recent games and must really hope that someone can accompany you to compete in the Grand Slam. Then I just wanted to go on a trip to relax, so I dragged your dad out.
Already."
There is no need to take a breath for a crackling paragraph. If anyone is curious about where Gawain inherited his gift of tongue-in-cheek skills, this is obviously the answer.
Gao Wen also laughed, and his mood suddenly became brighter, "Mom, traveling is the main purpose, watching me compete is just incidental, right?"
Jiang Yanyun glared, "Even if I really think so, how can you say it?"
Gawain's face was full of sadness, "I bought the lottery ticket as a gift, right?"
Jiang Yanyun said seriously, "No, I picked it up when I was walking the dog."
Gawain, I am willing to give in. My mother, please spare my life.
Jiang Yanyun, however, looked at Gao Wen seriously. He was silent for a long time and then just said, "I have lost weight." There was a slight glimmer of water in his eyes.
