On that side, little Zverev dropped a big bomb at the post-match press conference, which immediately attracted all-round attention on social networks.
Here, Gao Wen's post-match press conference was a little late, appearing only thirty minutes after Zverev's interviews were completed.
There is no doubt that Gao Wen was asked relevant questions immediately without any transition. This was obviously much more exciting than a "6:0" or "6:2" game; even if the reporters had already made their own judgments,
, but this still does not affect their confrontation with the parties involved, setting off more sparks.
"So, what did I do?"
Gawain was not only not angry nor furious, nor panicked nor anxious, but he also showed a smile and looked at the reporter who asked the question.
The reporter was stunned for a moment and explained again.
Then, Gao Wen stood up, walked back to the interview table from the entrance, took out the hem of his sports top, and pulled it down as far as possible, vividly fitting the spirit of hip-hop.
Ha ha!
Just seeing this action of Gawain, the reporters at the scene couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Immediately afterwards, Gawain imitated it vividly——
The knees seemed to be stuffed with springs, and the body was jumping up and down to beat the non-existent rhythm, dragging the toes, and the swaying posture was full of hip-hop spirit. It looked like he was about to start rapping.
I shrugged my shoulders, and finally came to the interview table, raised my right hand to make a "love and peace" gesture, stuck out my tongue, and made a weird cry, "YA, Yaaaaaaaa..." The ending needs to be drawn out, long.
long.
Ha ha!
The whole audience burst into laughter.
Gawain didn't even need to respond, the absurdity of the whole scene was already overflowing. The scene was so funny.
Gawain sat down again and his voice came out through the microphone.
"It would be a pity if that's the case."
"If you really want to show off, you should do it right, be full of posture (swag), then rap on the spot, and then do a cool floor move, support the ground with one hand, and make a victory 'V' shape with your legs.
Finally, match it with an action like this to make a chic exit."
As he spoke, Gawain grabbed the microphone on the table, raised it slightly, and then released his palm——
Mic-Drop.
It's true, it's full of attitude.
Ha ha!
The laughter couldn't stop at all. Some reporters even whistled and cheered "yo yo yo". The press conference hall was very lively.
As Gawain said, either do nothing or do it all. This is neither better nor worse. A half-way provocation has no threat at all.
Although Gao Wen did not answer the question directly after the question came out, his attitude was clear and the reporters also had the answer in their minds.
However, reporters still need to ask for formal confirmation, and relying solely on a joke is not formal enough.
"Gawain, so, you didn't do those things? Are you saying that all Sasha's accusations are lies?"
"Yes."
This time, Gawain stopped joking and gave a very formal response.
"I definitely did not do those things. However, I can probably understand the meaning of Sasha's accusations."
Huh? Wait?
What do Gawain's words mean? Did Gawain really provoke Zverev?
No need for reporters to ask, Gao Wen took the initiative to give the answer.
"During the handshake session after the game, I held Sasha's right hand, looked into his eyes, and told him that I looked forward to our next match."
I see!
The subtext is:
During the handshake session after the game, Zverev was perfunctory and rude, which led to Gawain taking the lead in provocation.
Gao Wen admitted that he used words to rub salt into Zverev's wounds, which made Zverev become angry and fabricated lies in the locker room in an attempt to slander Gao Wen.
Gawain is still frank.
"I was serious."
"I know that I am still a newcomer on the tour. I still have a lot to prove and there are still many challenges to be completed. I always maintain a fighting heart and look forward to more confrontations with different players, especially
They are the new generation of players who are about the same age as me."
"I'm ready."
Confident and calm.
Sincere and straightforward.
Comparing with Zverev Jr., one can clearly see his superiority.
Although Gawain admitted that he actively provoked Zverev during the handshake session, the point is that that scene was witnessed by thousands of eyes.
They all knew that it was actually little Zverev who was rude first, and Gawain's actions and words were understandable.
Of course, it gets cold at high places.
Coming to Gao Wen's current position, as the number of supporters increases, so does the number of opponents. Those black fans can always find reasons for hatred.
Especially Djokovic fans, obviously no one will like a player who has defeated his idol four times, that is a sworn enemy.
Even if Gawain is polite, Gawain's series of actions will inevitably cause controversy, and Zverev's accusation will also have a group of supporters.
But this is the inevitable result of the Internet age. It is conceivable that the controversy and pressure that will be poured out on Gao Wen will continue to rise.
However, everyone has a weighing scale in their heart, whether Gawain or Zverev is right or wrong, justice lies in the heart of the people.
Immediately afterwards, a reporter followed Gao Wen's words and asked.
"Sasha did not show enough respect during the handshake after the game, but you did not choose to ignore it, but pointed it out and responded. Why is this?"
Tennis matches are often full of sparks, and there are many conflicts and collisions. It is definitely not uncommon for two people to look at each other disgustedly during the post-match handshake session.
In other words, Gawain could choose to ignore Zverev's rudeness, but Gawain did not.
Gawain showed a smile and nodded in affirmative.
"Because I am also an ordinary person."
"Everyone is saying that this fight is different; and Sasha is indeed a strong opponent, and my attitude and emotions have changed."
"I care about this game, and I also care about Sasha, my opponent."
"During the game, I went all out, without reservation, to strive for the chance to advance to the next round; so, after the game, I think we can show the most basic respect for each other."
"Obviously, not everyone thinks the same way, but I don't regret doing it, and I would do it again if I had to do it again."
Be humble and courteous, sincere and calm, but at the same time, sharp-edged and firm in your stance.
Gawain knows what he is facing and what he is about to face. These words will definitely make those anti-fans explode, but does he care?
No, don't care.
After speaking, Gao Wen showed a big smile to the reporters.
"Excuse me, do you have any other questions?"
The reporters looked at each other in confusion, but they still had to admit that Gawain's handling was perfect and couldn't be better——
So, little Zverev and Gawain have different opinions. Who should they believe?
Who is lying?
The answer seems to have surfaced, no words are needed, it can already be felt from the eyes.
But the point is, will journalists choose a side?
Won't.
How can reporters choose a side? Of course they will continue to fan the flames——
"The post-95 civil war continues from inside the stadium to outside the stadium!"
