There was a slight smile in Gawain's eyes. Looking at the reporter who was slightly stagnant in front of his eyes, the corners of his mouth also turned upward.
The most important thing when facing reporters is not to be led around. Otherwise, these reporters will come prepared and the topics will often be traps.
Breaking the balance is very important. Even if you can't take the initiative, it doesn't matter, but it can still disrupt the reporter's plan.
There is no pause, then comes the answer to the question.
"Of course, I believe he is serious."
Reporter:???That’s it?
"This is competitive sports. He may win, I may lose. When we step onto the court, anything is possible and we must all go our best."
"I think this is the greatest charm of competitive sports."
With an understatement and a gentle move, Gawain was able to neutralize all Zverev's aggressive attacks.
Superior skills!
But obviously, the reporters were not satisfied with Gao Wen's answer——
Isn’t such a meek answer really cowardly?
Young people, just have to be tough!
Just do it, roll up your sleeves, be passionate, move forward bravely, and cut through the waves. No matter what the difficulty is, you must never lose your edge and edge.
Have you never heard of this saying: "The head can be broken or bleeding, but the hair can't be messed up."
The reporter was a little panicked: No, they need to continue to fan the flames, otherwise, those little sparks will be easily extinguished by Gawain.
Oops!
When one reporter falls, thousands of reporters stand up.
"Gaowen, last July, you and Sasha had a confrontation in the Challenger League. At that time, you easily won with a score of '6:2', '6:0'."
"So, now that times have changed, do you really think that Sasha has completed his transformation and growth? Young players including Coric and Rublev have entered the professional arena one after another. They obviously hope to beat you, because you
He is the representative of this group of players after 1995."
"So, how do you view these challenges and expectations? When you were a challenger, how did you view other challengers?"
"I mean, do you really believe Sasha can beat you?"
The question is actually not complicated, but the complexity of the entire background makes it more complicated, and Gawain must be cautious in his answers.
However, in the face of the attack, Gawain still seemed unfazed, and the smile at the corner of his mouth rose slightly.
"certainly."
Be crisp and decisive.
Gawain is very honest and calm.
This question has nothing to do with whether they like a player or whether they have enough confidence. They must admit one fact:
The charm of competitive sports is that all assumptions and predictions are just imagination, and the real victory or defeat should be won and fought for through one's own hard work.
Gawain always believed in this.
The scene was filled with astonishment.
Gawain's answer was too direct and decisive, cutting off all space for reporters to continue provoking and attacking, and there was no spark at all.
So, what should journalists do?
However, this is still not everything.
Gawain is not a coward, not only not, but also a dangerous person. Anyone who tries to provoke him must be prepared:
Take the consequences at your own risk.
Of course Gawain could feel the hostility from little Zverev.
Putting aside the reporters’ provocations, last week’s meeting in Indian Wells was not a pleasant one, and things were clearly not as simple as they seemed.
Gao Wen didn't know what was going on with little Zverev, but he could vaguely guess that it should be related to the meeting in last year's challenge.
However, Gawain didn't care. He had no time, energy and no need to care about little Zverev's feelings. He was not his nanny.
Now that little Zverev has come to provoke him, Gawain is also very, very happy to respond. The next showdown comes at the right time——
Professional tennis players should solve problems on the court. Nothing can be more direct and straightforward than a victory.
Gawain is also gearing up, eager to try, and full of fighting ability.
Of course, off-site games are also part of the strategic plan. If it can humiliate the opponent and create mental pressure, Gao Wen is also happy to accompany him.
Moreover, to be honest, Zverev's attack is too weak. Gawain should demonstrate the correct way to open the attack before the game.
The reporters in the press conference room were stunned, annoyed, irritated, and thinking about the next attack.
Then, someone noticed that the corners of Gawain's mouth raised slightly, and there was a smile in his eyes. He hadn't finished what he just said.
"I believe Sasha believes he can beat me because I believe I can beat him."
"So, when I step on the court, I will go all out to continue the fine tradition of maximizing consumption."
Smiling face.
The whole audience was stunned.
Obviously, the reporters did not expect that the breaking point would come just like this! It was so sudden and so fast, joy and happiness instantly swallowed up the brain.
What does maximum consumption mean?
Against Zverev, he only lost two games - of course, that was a challenge match.
Against Coric, he only lost two games.
Against Rublev, he only lost two games.
So far, the new generation players born after 1995 have not won three or more games against Gao Wen.
"Two games", this is the highest consumption.
Senior fans who are really familiar with tennis should know that because tennis is divided into two parties: serving and receiving. When a player masters the serve, it often means taking the initiative. Especially male players rely on strong serve and serve.
The advantages are even more prominent.
Therefore, tennis is not a sport about who scores more points, but a sport about who can grasp the key points and key games.
Naturally, scores like "6:0" are far less common.
Maybe, during a football match, someone will boast, "I'm going to score a hat-trick."
Maybe, in basketball games, some people will criticize you, "I can guarantee that your score will be below 20."
And so on and so forth.
However, in tennis matches, almost no one dares to say, "I will let you win two games at most." Not even the Big Four have such confidence.
However--
Gawain said.
"Maximum consumption", as soon as this sentence came out, the arrogance and arrogance in the bones suddenly spread, and the fire was fully fired, deeply shocking everyone present.
Excited?
More than just excitement!
Because they were so excited, shocked, and stunned that their brains shut down, reporters who had experienced many battles were stunned, not knowing how to respond.
Previously, some people said that reporters were too harsh and cruel in their treatment of little Zverev, but now, looking at Gawain, this is the real humiliation.
In an understatement, without any trace of blood, he had already completed a crushing critical attack. Zverev had no chance at all.
There is no harm without comparison. Now look at little Zverev’s battle post, which is the level of playing house in a kindergarten.
So much so that the entire press conference seemed absent-minded, the reporters had no intention of continuing to provoke, and the interview ended hastily.
