"Believe me, I also watch 'Game of Thrones', and I know how shocking the bloody wedding is. As an audience, no one should be able to refuse such excitement. You were looking forward to a bloody wedding, but it turned out to be 'Twilight'..."
…”
Gawain couldn't finish his words——
The whole audience burst into laughter.
Not only were they laughing, but they were also applauding, whistling, and booing, making it very lively.
This is the Gao Wen they are familiar with. The easy banter and ridicule can break the deadlock inadvertently, sometimes smiling and sometimes laughing.
Gawain himself also laughed lightly, spread his hands to accept the applause and whistles from the audience, and waited patiently for the noise in the scene to calm down a little.
"Please believe me, I didn't mean to say Andy is Rob Stark..."
Haha, hahaha!
It was so hilarious that it couldn't stop. You could even see local British reporters standing up and applauding. I have to say that Gawain has done it again.
Following Wimbledon this year, Gauvin once again used his charm to conquer the British local media and fans. Even though he eliminated the local darling at Murray's home court, he still won respect and support with practical actions.
Gawain suppressed his smile slightly and signaled the reporters to calm down.
"I'm not a stand-up comedian, really, and you shouldn't encourage me like this."
Amidst the bustling laughter, Gawain's words were not interrupted this time.
"I mean, as an audience, we all want to see exciting games, exciting plots, and suspense of victory or defeat until the last moment; but believe me, as a player, I really don't want this."
"Maybe some people want to see the Red Wedding live, but at least I don't want to."
"so……"
Hahaha!
Seeing Gao Wen's expression of gratitude and indifference, his words became even more vivid. The whole audience burst into laughter, and the press conference room was extremely lively.
Perhaps Gawain is the only exception?
With a serious face and an understatement, he seemed completely unaware of the reason for the laughter. Then he lightly shrugged and continued to answer the question just now.
"So, I'm very satisfied with the current situation. Wait, what's the problem?"
Haha! Hahaha!
The laughter couldn't stop at all, one wave after another.
Gawain also added.
"I probably haven't revealed any personal secrets. Certain hobbies shouldn't matter. Mr. George R.R. Martin, I'm still waiting for the follow-up. Please come on!"
A pause.
"Oh, I'm sorry. As for British writers, there are so many choices. I don't want to be embarrassed and further expose my shallow reading."
Bursting with laughter!
Sure enough, Gawain is Gawain——
Not only did he easily defuse the reporter's offensive, but he also calmly disintegrated the slightly tense and heated atmosphere. Even if the reporter wanted to launch an attack now, it would not be too sharp, after all, the atmosphere was no longer tense.
Therefore, when the reporter asked the next question, the edge was still the same, but the atmosphere seemed very relaxed.
"Gaowen, although the qualifying situation has been determined now, will you change your strategy and make tactical adjustments for the semi-finals?"
The reporter's question was cryptic, but everyone present understood it immediately.
The suspense is gone, but is it really?
Indeed, there is indeed little suspense left in qualifying for the group stage, but there is still one round left in the group stage, the real decisive battle of the year-end finals is about to begin, and the year-end battle for world No. 1 is about to enter the sprint stage.
The final round of the group stage——
In the Stan Smith group, Federer is ranked first, and the outcome is irrelevant; Djokovic and Berdych will compete for another qualifying spot.
In the Ilye-Nastase group, Murray and Wawrinka will fight for honor; Gao Wen and Nadal will compete for the first place in the group.
In other words, the situation of the semi-final matchup is still up in the air.
To put it simply, the first place player in the Ilye-Nastase group will face Djokovic or Berdych; while the second place player in the group will face Federer.
Gawain gently raised his chin, showing a look of thinking. His expression did not change particularly, his face was serious and his eyes were calm.
"You're asking me if I would deliberately lose the last game to avoid Novak or Thomas and then choose to play Roger in the semifinals."
"Is it right?"
The meaning is indeed this, but when Gawain said it like this, why did it feel... weird?
Not only was the reporter's suggestion that Gao Wen would choose to "lose tactically" exposed, there was something else in these words...
The reporter who asked the question tilted his head with a strange expression, "Yes... but... uh... I..."
For a while, I didn’t know where to start.
Gawain was not sarcastic, he still looked serious.
"I'm not sure what you call tactics, but choosing Roger to avoid Novak or Thomas, I don't think it's a rational decision."
on site:……
The reporter waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, of course not. Will you go all out to avoid Roger?"
Gao Wen nodded, "Of course, Roger is also the ultimate challenge at the O2 Arena, so Rafa and I should try our best in the next game. Isn't this a matter of course?"
etc!
Things don't seem to be right either.
The reporter himself was stunned by himself and froze on the spot——
Think about it seriously, whether it is Federer or Djokovic, they are both difficult problems. They have proven themselves more than once at the O2 Arena. Therefore, Gao Wen and Nadal have no choice. Facing any opponent, half
The finals require all-out efforts.
What's more, Berdych also has hope of qualifying. If Gauvin and Nadal want to pick the weaklings, they should win the game and strive for first place in the group. Only in this way can they avoid the Federer vs. Stan Smith group.
Second in the group.
In other words, from any point of view, there is no possibility of Gao Wen and Nadal letting go in the final group match, and they both need to give their best.
So, what kind of answer are you expecting from the reporter’s question just now?
The so-called tactical options simply do not exist and should not exist.
The reporter was caught up in his own thoughts and couldn't think clearly for a while. Even after he sat down, his eyes were still blank.
There was a slight commotion in the press conference hall, and reporters could feel Gao Wen's seriousness——
Obviously, Gao Wen doesn't like the logic behind this question, losing tactically in order to pick a semi-final opponent? Even if such a tactical option does exist, what about the competitive spirit?
Gawain would not be like this, and neither would Nadal.
Gao Wen didn't expect that the reporter would have such no bottom line. He would ask such a question and dismiss the reporter in an understatement.
The relaxed atmosphere became slightly tense again.
But the reporters are not afraid. On the contrary, they like this atmosphere, because tension means explosive points.
"Gao Wen, if Novak loses to Thomas and is eliminated early in the group stage, then you will have an advantage in the competition to be number one in the world at the end of the year. Are you already aware of this?"
"So, what are my strengths?"
"Well, as long as you win the championship, you can be ranked number one in the world at the end of the year."
