Chapter 1812: Playing tricks and getting out of the circle
Boom! Boom boom boom!
Arthur Ashe Stadium has truly evolved into a party scene.
Typical New York, typical U.S. Open, you can even see the audience cheering and celebrating with their beer glasses high in the air. The boldness and joy of drinking in one gulp presents a completely different atmosphere from the other three Grand Slams, and maybe it is different from tennis.
It is not consistent with the gentleman culture, but the moment of exposure to it——
Who can refuse?
Obviously, Gawain made a pun, thanked the audience, and also connoted other away games. In an instant, the entire audience was excited.
Courier is not surprised at all, this is one of Gawain's charms.
Next, Courier asked some official questions as usual.
For example, how is the recovery from the injury, such as whether the injury so close to the US Open disrupts the preparation plan, such as how it feels to return to Arthur Ashe Stadium after a year, and how to kick off the Grand Open with a night match
How does it feel to go through the journey?
And so on and so forth.
It was basically the same as the pre-game press conference - just a little more relaxed after the first-round victory.
Basically, there will be a lot of overlap with the post-match press conference later - the most important difference is the interaction between Gawain and Courier, Gawain and the audience. Compared with the questions, Arthur
-The atmosphere at Ashe Stadium is the key.
Naturally, Courier also received instructions to truly visit Gowan as the defending champion and with home court treatment. The fans' regret and uneasiness quietly evolved into joy and happiness. Even the cold wind at night was no longer a problem.
Arthur Ashe Stadium transforms into Ibiza's party scene.
Therefore, Courier did not continue to ask further questions and changed the subject.
"It's so hypocritical, Gawain, you clearly don't like Sasha Zverev at all, but you still want to say good things for him."
"I think people need to go easy on us."
Chirping, bustling.
"Before the game, many people were discussing this game. You will lose a few games in the end, just like football. It is a pity that the record you once held has been broken."
"For the generation born after 1995, Gao Wen is still the benchmark."
But other reporters and social networks are not willing to let it go easily. It would be a pity to miss such a good subject.
"Sasha is a very talented player, but you seem to have a good idea of what to do when you stand on the court and know exactly how you should respond to various situations."
Attention can become pressure or motivation, especially for young people. They need some learning time and space to grow.
Even the reporters did not let Zverev go.
"Man, let's talk about tonight's game, you know I have to ask."
A light joke made Arthur Ashe Stadium cheerful again.
Especially considering the brilliance and grandeur of Gao Wen's appearance tonight, the tournament organizing committee is also keenly aware of the intentions of Gao Wen's fans.
In fact, Gawain did not mean to excuse little Zverev. Of course, he had no interest in continuing to cause a war of words. He just stated a fact——
Then, Courier paused slightly and brought up the focus topic.
"I foresaw the victory, but I didn't anticipate the process, let alone the outcome. I didn't expect that the gap between Gao Wen and other 'post-95s' would be so obvious."
"I have noticed that our group of players are paying more and more attention and everyone's expectations are getting higher and higher. I understand that we are in a golden era. Roger, Rafa, Novak, Andy, Stan, etc.
And so on, these outstanding top players have been refreshing our understanding of tennis, and naturally, there are higher expectations for other players."
Gawain's face was full of seriousness.
After all, tonight's night game ended early. Tickets for the night game were much more expensive than those for the matinee. As a result, we were able to watch the game for less than three hours. It was really disappointing. Now the interaction between Gawain and Courier also obviously took longer. As a small child,
A small benefit to give back the enthusiastic support of the audience.
In fact, it can be understood as a fan meeting.
Gao Wen was not prepared to add insult to injury, and was still relieving the pressure on the young players. However, in a self-ridiculing way, it relieved the pressure of defending the title. This response was perfect.
"So if you don't keep asking about the title defense and drawing all the firepower to it, that should help a little bit."
"Sasha and I are of the same age, and the same group of players include Borna, Andre, etc. They are all very talented and very focused on the court. I think I am better than them, but they just need a little more
It takes time to adapt to the game, discover yourself, and finally grow and transform."
"The situation has changed slightly now."
"If it doesn't work, it won't work. From the beginning to the end, it was Zverev who was provoking Gao Wen, and Gao Wen's strength slapped him in the face."
"On the surface, we were trying to smooth things over, but behind the scenes, we probably didn't even talk in the locker room. These young people are really interesting."
"Such a score is really shocking."
"The curse of 'maximum consumption' has finally been broken. From two games at most to three games at most, it's a qualitative leap!"
"Slightly regrettable."
Courier has got the answer he wants——
"Gawain is indeed a little regretful. He 'actually' lost three games this time!"
"At the same time, I also think this game is a very important start for me. The first round of a Grand Slam game is not easy at any time, not to mention this is my first game back on the court, and it is also
Facing an opponent like Sasha, victory is a very important step."
"I need some time, and so do they."
"It's not easy for tennis to actually match football scores."
"Inevitably, expectations and pressures from the outside world and from ourselves are also stacked up, and our understanding of tennis and our focus on the game have more or less changed."
Courier is still different from reporters. The topic of "maximum consumption" has to be mentioned, but he will not openly sow discord and fan the flames of schadenfreude. He appears to be reserved and restrained from beginning to end. Coupled with a gentle smile, the entire conversation atmosphere seems relaxed.
many.
All kinds of jokes are flying all over the Internet. In the turbulent wave of public opinion, there are also a small number of people who don't like Gawain speaking for Zverev, complaining about Gawain's hypocrisy, but there is no doubt that about Gawain.
Zverev Jr. has so many jokes that he almost breaks it.
"Sure enough, with the rapid rise of young people, the gap is narrowing 'little by little'."
……Really?
"In fact, I don't think the content of this game is as simple as the score. The confrontation and rounds of the game continued from the first point to the end."
After all, in a Grand Slam best-of-five-set match, only three games were won. This is indeed unjustifiable. Compared with the expected value, the gap is too big.
Once out of the circle.
Netizens who have no interest in tennis or care about competitive sports have also joined the ranks. The "maximum consumption" concept cannot be overcome.
It is conceivable that for a long time to come, "maximum consumption" will still be a curse, a conversation starter, and a favorite topic.
