At least, Gao Wen can share some of his own feelings, even if he doesn't give opinions from a global perspective, he can still provide a different perspective.
After thinking carefully, Gawain considered his words.
"Actually, we have always had a misunderstanding. The physical talents of Asian players may not be as good as those of European and American players."
"It's just like the common view now that black athletes have an absolute advantage in sprinting and long-distance running."
"But times are advancing and concepts are changing. In my opinion, purely from a physical perspective, everyone has his own strengths and weaknesses. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. The same goes for us."
"Tennis is a sport that uses your brain to unleash your body's potential. It doesn't mean whoever is stronger, faster, or hits the ball harder will win."
"Advantages and disadvantages are all relative."
Progress step by step and advance layer by layer.
Unknowingly, everyone followed Gawain's words and seemed to be thinking deeply. Regardless of whether they agreed or disagreed, they were at least willing to calm down and think about it.
"In today's tennis, the men's players are Kei Nishikori, Goffin, Ferrer, Hewitt, and Schwarzman, and the women's players are Radwanska, Azarenka, Barty, and Hingis."
"None of them are the typical 'strong body' type in the traditional impression. They all have obvious disadvantages in terms of strength and height, but they all have their own sky in the professional tennis world. They are not just among the top 100 in the world, but all of them.
They are all in the top 20 or even top 10 in the world.”
Among Asian players, there are also power players; among European and American players, there are also skill players. These are all relative terms and cannot be generalized.
"When we talk about training, it always seems to be training the body to be stronger, faster, lighter, trying to start with physical fitness."
"Are these important? Of course, they are very important and cannot be ignored."
"But I think that tactical awareness, game patterns, confrontational games, etc. also need training. To be precise, it is just like playing Go. Understand your own strengths and weaknesses, explore your own game methods and styles, and then find the best fit for you.
The method, in the final analysis, is to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses.”
As he spoke, Gawain clicked his brain and gave his final conclusion——
The simplest and most intuitive example is that from Noh Yan-hun to Nishikori Kei to Jung Hyun, many outstanding men's singles players have emerged from the three East Asian countries, and their world rankings are easily among the top 100, or even higher.
Now, the younger generation is also growing up. Zhang Ze, Wu Di, Wang Chuhan, and the younger Wu Yibing, Shang Juncheng, etc., etc., they have the ability and potential, but they have never been able to take the lead, until Gao Wen said
In the future that we know well, no one is among the top 100 in the world.
Is it really because of physical fitness?
of course not.
Absolutely not.
It is more due to training concepts, training systems, training awareness, etc. If these aspects can be in line with the times, then these players can also emerge, and we can see more young players emerging in the future——
There is no need to wait until Wu Yibing and Shang are finished, Zhang Ze and Wu Di can already take to the stage in front of them.
At least, that's what Gawain thinks.
Tennis should not be a repetitive motion of standing on the baseline like a robot, but a sport of continuous movement, continuous calculation, continuous game, and continuous layout. This is a sport full of wisdom and charm, all power, rotation,
All controls require sparks from brain power to be effective.
In front of them, Li Zhe and Zhang Ze were both deep in thought. Wu Di was looking at Gao Wen up and down, as if he was seeing an alien; Wang Chuhan was in a trance, but he didn't know what was going on in his mind, and his eyes were slightly blurred.
Spreading in the air.
The atmosphere is a bit subtle, and everyone has something to think about.
But this is a good thing.
This is what brainstorming is like. Gao Wen's role is just to bring out ideas and then look forward to different chemical reactions——
In different ideological soils, those seeds will bloom into flowers of different shapes.
The smile on Gawain's lips slightly rose.
"Last year at the US Open, I said that I don't think I am anything special. I am just the first. There will be many, many more behind me. I mean it."
Wu Di was the first to react. He put his hands on his hips and said, "I thought you were promoting the virtue of humility, but then I told A Ze that you were actually being good."
Gawain laughed happily.
Li Zhe raised his head and looked at Gao Wen, whose brows were filled with brightness and joy. His eyes were full of sincerity and determination, making people want to believe him involuntarily.
Now, Li Zhe finally understood what Zhang Ze meant:
Why did Zhang Ze praise Gao Wen full of praise when he came back from Melbourne?
At that time, they thought it was because Gawain had created history again, and Zhang Ze was there to witness it, and their hearts were surging; but now it seems that this is not the case.
Li Zhe, his mind has been silent for a long time. After all, he is about to turn thirty and has never had any breakthroughs in his career. Is it too late to expect to break the ceiling now?
But looking at Gawain, that desire began to stir again.
"Gawain, what about me?"
After all, Li Zhe couldn't hold back and asked, but as soon as he said the words, he felt a little embarrassed and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Look at me, what am I talking about?"
Gao Wen smiled at Li Zhe and said firmly, "Why not?"
Li Zhe was stunned.
Gawain continued, "Are there not enough fairy tales and miracles in competitive sports arenas?"
"When Lu Yanxun defeated Roddick to advance to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon in 2010, he was already 27 years old. If he didn't believe in himself, he would definitely not be able to hold on in the long set."
"Miracles only belong to those who believe, just like only those who still believe in innocence can see Peter Pan."
Li Zhe himself did not expect that his smile would rise like this, a kind of sincere joy and happiness.
Wu Di deliberately bumped Zhang Ze and Wang Chuhan with his shoulder, "Look, Gawain has forgotten both of you."
Last year, Wang Chuhan defeated Fognini in the Magic City; this year, Zhang Ze defeated Hewitt in Melbourne. These games are also rays of hope.
Wang Chuhan is a little shy and reserved.
Zhang Ze didn't buy it at all and slapped Wu Di's right hand away, "Then why didn't you say that Gawain had forgotten himself?"
Wu Di spread his hands and said, "Gawain? That's a pervert. We are normal people. We are not on the same level, okay?"
Gawain nodded very seriously, "I admit that I am actually a pervert. You need to pay attention to your personal safety."
His expression was solemn, because he was too serious and serious, and the whole joy burst out, but amidst the laughter, Gawain was completely unmoved, and still looked at everyone with a smile, and then goosebumps slowly appeared
Slowly run outside.
Wu Di shuddered, "Brother, big brother, your expression is a bit scary. Someone has said that you are suitable for acting in horror movies?"
Gawain showed his neat and white teeth and responded with a smile.
