The air is turbulent, and the bustling crowds are rushing towards you, making it dark and dense, which has a very visual impact.
Gawain's first reaction was, have we gone to the wrong place?
He took half a step back and looked at the sign behind him, Training Ground No. 1. Yes, it is the venue where the men's tennis team trains every day.
So, what's going on in front of you?
Brush brush brush.
The surging crowd slowed down a little, and noticed that someone had entered the training ground, and their eyes swarmed over one after another. There was a brief confrontation between them, and the atmosphere was a bit subtle. The awkwardness of big eyes staring at small eyes quietly filled the air, and then,
A voice came from the next second——
"Gawain!"
Full of joy and relief, Macdonald seemed to have finally found his savior, and shouted out with a slightly trembling voice with a hint of crying.
At this time, Gawain discovered that there was actually someone in the center surrounded by the surging crowd on three levels inside and outside, and it was Macdonald.
"Hey, Mike, today..."
Gawain also raised his voice and said hello, and walked over hesitantly. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, the crowd turned around and swarmed in. Gawain's footsteps were stopped by a wave of air that covered his face.
He took half a step back, and before he fell into the encirclement, he gave a sharp scolding.
"stop!"
Then, just like a circus animal trainer, the impatient crowd actually paused and looked at Gawain eagerly. Those bright eyes were like a hyena seeing a rabbit, waiting for the hunter's order. They
He would rush forward and bite the rabbit.
The scene was once joyful.
Gawain was also full of questions, "Who can tell me what's going on?"
"Gawain, reporters, they are all reporters." MacDonald had already rushed out of the crowd and came to Gawain's side, whispering in a low voice.
"I don't know what happened. When I arrived at the training ground, they were already here. There was no room to talk, so they surrounded me."
MacDonald glanced at the reporter secretly, then lowered his voice and muttered in Gawain's ear.
"Be careful, they have been asking some incomprehensible questions, how do you feel after losing? Also, if you serve as the first singles, will there be any disagreements within the team? They talk as if Thompson and Giron are both bad guys."
His aggrieved expression seemed like he was complaining.
The problem is, MacDonald and Gauvin are both freshmen, and MacDonald's ranking on the team is higher than Gauvin, but why does Gavin feel like a giant who can support MacDonald?
The scene was very joyful.
However, neither MacDonald nor Gawain noticed anything unusual, as they seemed to be very familiar with such a situation.
Following Macdonald's words, Gawain carefully looked at the crowd in front of him, five, ten, fifteen... Although he couldn't see clearly, there should be more than twenty people. In terms of numbers, it was not many, but
All gathered together, from the visual effect, it is like a large black cloud, creating the illusion of hundreds of people.
Reporter? Why are they here?
Among UCLA, the men's tennis team has always been a championship team, with a long historical tradition and rich championship experience. It is second to none even in the entire NCAA, but compared to the football team and basketball team, the gathering
The gaze on the tennis team is always relatively low.
On the one hand, the overall strength of NCAA tennis has declined. Most of the talented players have gone to professional tennis academies for training, and the number of players worthy of attention in universities has decreased significantly.
On the other hand, as an individual project, tennis still has slightly less resonance than a group project, and there is no draft from college to professional leagues. Players’ subsequent development lacks growth and continuity, storytelling, excavation, etc.
Lacks gimmicks.
Naturally, the level of attention is much lower.
Generally speaking, the news media has been paying attention to this men's tennis team, and it is not a cold reception. However, the degree of concentrated coverage and full attention is still relatively limited.
Relatively speaking, every time the rugby team wins a game, it can always attract a lot of media attention; as for the tennis team, you need to look at the level of the opponent and the weight of the game. Even if it is a derby in the same city, it may not always be able to win.
caused such a scene.
The last time the team received so much media attention was when they reached the semi-finals of the National Championship last year. In the blink of an eye, it has been almost a year.
Why is it suddenly so lively today? Is it because of the city derby? However, in the memory of the last life, there was no such excitement after the city derby ended?
Gawain guessed part of it right, but there was still another part missing:
The same city derby is the premise. It is precisely because of the spotlight shrouded in the same city derby stage that everything is intensified, magnified and exaggerated. Trivial things can become big events. What's more, some big news did appear this time.
Whether it is a dark horse overturning the No. 7 ranking in the United States, or two Asian faces becoming the main players, or an unknown player serving as the first singles player, and with the blessing of Sampras' aura, every news is worthy of excitement, let alone
Did everything collide together?
Even the Los Angeles Times gave a detailed report, let alone other media?
Journalists always like stunts.
As a result, the reporters immediately went into a frenzy and rushed out one by one to surround the training ground. I am afraid that even the coaching staff did not expect such a grand occasion, so they did not inform the players in advance. MacDonald arrived at the training ground first.
He was caught off guard when he was killed.
However, the most ironic thing is that most of the reporters "don't know" Gao Wen, so they just stared at Gao Wen's face without reacting. After all, before today, they were all
I only hear his name but don't see his person.
"Losing?"
Gawain's handsome eyebrows suddenly stood up, showing no anger or authority. Although Macdonald did not elaborate on the ins and outs, just a few words were enough:
Obviously, the reporters came on stage not to celebrate the Bruins' hard-won victory, at least not only that, but they also wanted to sow discord and maybe dig out some revelations from within the Bruins.
How come Gawain doesn’t know?
Therefore, despite being extremely angry, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his whole aura suddenly became fierce.
"We obviously won yesterday, which is something worthy of celebration. If anyone wants to talk nonsense here, they can leave now."
Before the reporter could attack, Gawain took the lead and reprimanded the reporter face to face, blocking Macdonald's gun.
Reporters, the uncrowned king, have they ever been so angry?
One second, the reporters wanted to interview Gao Wen; the next second, they all shared the same hatred and wanted to teach the freshman a lesson.
"You mean, the result of yesterday's game should be '4:0'? How come we don't know? The result of the game we got from the official should be '4:2'. Why, if players are allowed to lose, it's not
Are we allowed to discuss it? But a little freshman still wants to shut up all the media?"
