"I thought you were going to keep trying." Peart didn't hide his surprise.
Once someone speaks, the balance of silence will be broken. At this time, it can be seen that Peart is leaning towards Gawain to continue to appear in the semi-finals.
The corners of Gawain's mouth slightly raised, and he nodded in affirmation——
Sure enough, my team still knows me very well. This is a good thing.
"Yes, I'm not ready to give up."
Gawain gave an affirmative answer.
So, what’s going on with that sentence just now?
"You know me, giving up without trying, working hard, or trying my best is not my style. Should this be said to be stubbornness or stupidity?"
Just like today's game.
In fact, from the analysis of pros and cons, retiring is a wise choice. It is not worth taking the risk for the quarterfinals of the Masters. After all, there is the more important US Open later.
But in Gao Wen's view, competitive sports cannot simply be measured by numbers. The so-called pros and cons are not just the weight of the event and the number of points.
If he chooses to give up every time he encounters difficulties or injuries, then the player who stands on the field and gives up his reason and fights hard will slowly disappear.
"I think the reason why I am able to reach where I am now is because of this... stubbornness or stupidity, it is my belief and my pillar."
"When I stand on the court, this is my style, calculation and layout. Apart from games and confrontations, belief and will are the core; after leaving the court, it is still my lifestyle and criteria. I don't think
Competitive sports should be clearly calculated mathematically."
"So, I'll try it and see."
Simple, unpretentious, sincere, yet full of weight and weight.
"Dr. Harris just said that we need to observe it tonight, and then wait until we get up tomorrow morning to check the situation. Then we will go to the training ground to try some batting practice and observe the body's reaction."
"If possible, I still hope to continue playing and complete the semi-finals."
"I meant what I said at the press conference, not just for the occasion."
Gawain did not raise his voice or get emotional. He smiled throughout the whole process and explained his thoughts in a straightforward manner. However, one could feel that these words were well thought out and at the same time sincere.
Although the atmosphere was still solemn, Tobias wanted to make a joke for no reason, "Are you sure? Those reporters were all fooled by you."
Gawain spread his hands and said, "That means they are not good at business and they just believe my words casually."
puff.
Sampras couldn't hold it back. Looking at the confident Gao Wen, he laughed out loud, and the atmosphere finally relaxed.
Sampras was a little embarrassed and rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Then what do you mean by what you just said?"
Gawain didn't show off either.
"I know that the right thing to do is to withdraw from the Rogers Cup and prepare for the US Open."
"But, Pete, Andre, you all know that injuries are not just once, once and for all. In the future, we will encounter countless similar situations, or even worse situations, and we need to slowly start to face their existence.
, and learn how to live with them.”
"Will withdrawing from the Rogers Cup guarantee smooth sailing for Flushing?"
Gawain's rhetorical question made Sampras roll his eyes again, "You kid, why are you talking nonsense? Cancel that sentence just now."
The corners of Gawain's mouth raised slightly, and his eyes were filled with smiles.
"I mean, even if I get hurt, I'm not going to give up the fight. I'm not going to run away."
"So, I'm going to give it a try and give myself a chance."
"but."
"I'm not stupid - at least I hope I'm not stupid..."
That self-complaint made Tobias and Sampras unable to hold back, and chuckled helplessly.
Sampras also complained, "You are probably the smartest person in the room."
Gawain's words were not interrupted and he continued to finish.
"...If batting practice doesn't go well tomorrow, then I won't insist on going my own way and hit the wall."
"Also, Peter, thank you, but there is no need to belittle yourself. In fact, you are quite smart."
ha!
Agassi didn't give Sampras any face and laughed directly. Even Peart's eyes were filled with smiles.
Gawain's attitude is simple but not simple——
I didn’t think about the US Open, the fight for the world’s number one spot, or the pressure from sponsors. I just focused on myself and the present.
Just like they didn't expect today's injuries, they couldn't predict the future direction of things. Therefore, since the whole thing is so complicated, it's better to put aside the pros and cons, start from the present, and move forward step by step. The sight is still focused on
On oneself.
In front of you, at this moment, now, how is Gao Wen's body reacting? Can he be ready for tomorrow's game?
They do it step by step.
Everything is about tennis and only tennis.
In the VIP lounge, laughter was still surging in the air, but it slowly settled down.
Gawain is still the same Gawain, calm, steady, and wise, showing a maturity that belies his age. In fact, he is the real smart one. He does not look forward or backward, does not hesitate, does not waver, and always maintains a belief.
, remain steadfast and move forward all the way.
This belief has guided Gawain step by step to his current position, and will also guide Gawain to continue to face the coming storm.
Are the pros and cons important?
It's important, it's still important, but neither Tobias, Sampras nor Agassi are prepared to speak.
Let them worry about these disturbing things, while Gao Wen continues to concentrate on training and competition, which is enough.
When Gawain threw himself into the game without reservation, that was his shining moment.
In the air, messy thoughts were still surging, but quietly, they all found a direction and were firmly united again.
"How does your body feel now?"
"How about it? Are you mentally prepared to face reporters when you go out later?"
"Gawain, do you need to call your parents?"
Chirping, the voice sounded again, but this time, unanimously, there was no worry, no irritation, and no analysis of pros and cons. It seemed that they had all reached a consensus, and those differences had been eliminated before they even had time to be thrown out, and a crisis was strangled.
In the cradle.
Buzz, buzz.
Gawain's cell phone vibrated in his pocket, he took it out and glanced at it, it was a text message.
Pullan: You should know that although you are standing alone on the court, you are not actually alone, right?
Gao Wen: In this case, will the court be a little crowded? The doubles line may not even be able to fit in.
Pu Lan: Ha. Ha. The bad jokes have gone backwards.
Pu Lan: So, is the situation serious?
Gawain: It's more serious than expected, but not that serious.
Pullan: Thanks for the reply. This is an AFP reporter.
Gawain: Hahaha, I'm just telling the truth, there's no need to worry.
Pulan: No matter what the specific situation is, I can't help but worry; but no matter what the specific situation is, I will be by your side and face it with you.
