Why is the Winston-Salem Golden Game so important?
Because of the quality of the contestants.
Prior to this, although Gao Wen had won fifteen games in a row and won the Challenger Championship three times, which was a great success, the players he faced were all low-ranked players, and the highest-ranked Zverev Jr. was not among the top 150 in the world.
.
The U.S. Tennis Open is a Grand Slam level event, and any player is ranked within 128 in the world; and considering that Gao Wen is participating with a wild card, there is a possibility of encountering a seeded player in the first round.
It's not small, and it's not at the same level as the opponents in the challenge.
Just like in a boxing match, suddenly rising from featherweight to heavyweight, such a huge leap, you need to be mentally and physically prepared at both levels, otherwise you may be knocked down by a KO with one punch.
The Winston-Salem Golden Game plays such a role in preparation and adaptation. After all, participating players are generally ranked within the top 250. Step by step, Gao Wen can feel the rhythm and intensity of top-level competition.
Even if you are eliminated in the first round, you can still accumulate some experience.
The most direct comparison is that the Belgian player Goffin, who made history with Gawain in July, also participated in the Winston-Salem Gold Game.
But the situation of Gao Wen and Goffin is different. Goffin is returning from injury, and his world ranking is already sufficient, so he was directly shortlisted for the competition. When he signed up three weeks ago, Gao Wen was still ranked outside the 500th place.
Little pawn, the baseline for qualifying is not enough, so applying for a wild card is a more appropriate option.
In fact, if Gao Wen, like Jilong, waited for the qualifying reserve spot two weeks ago and registered at that time, he could also directly enter the qualifying list based on his ranking and pass the two rounds of qualifying tests to enter the main draw.
Bias has already applied for a wild card for Gawain, so naturally there is no need to do anything extra.
Moreover, considering the fatigue of Gao Wen's continuous participation, it is naturally best to skip the qualifying competition. Anyway, the level of competition in the qualifying competition is similar to that of the challenge competition. The intensity of the competition that Gao Wen expects should start from the main competition, so use external
The card goes directly to the topic, which is obviously a better choice.
Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, Gao Wen missed the Winston-Salem Golden Game. It can only be said that it was fate.
Now, MacDonald and Giron have arrived in Winston-Salem, where qualifying begins this afternoon, but Gauvin remains in Los Angeles with nowhere to go.
By a strange combination of circumstances, things ended up like this.
So what should I do?
After disrupting the plan, he would make a new plan based on the actual situation. Gao Wen believed that this was not a big deal, at least it was not an injury.
From another perspective, it is also a good choice to make full use of the next two weeks to examine yourself, clarify your thoughts, and then cooperate with corresponding training to prepare for the Grand Slam. After all, he is still in a period of rapid growth and can take advantage of
More time to summarize your game.
Perhaps, he should take a good look at the game tapes of the past three weeks and not ignore the problems that occurred during the game just because the game ended in victory.
After sending Tobias away, Gawain's thoughts quickly calmed down and he returned to the gym. However, he did not rush into training immediately. Instead, he summoned the system and browsed it carefully. The latest status has already undergone many changes.
Physical attributes: 78
Technical attributes:82
Mental attributes: 87
Nearly three weeks have passed since the Binghamton Challenge reached the top and won the championship - to be precise, it should be eighteen days.
During this period, two weeks of competition, one day of rest, and three days of training, all the sweat was reflected in various attributes. It can be seen with the naked eye that the period of rapid growth after breaking through the bottleneck and becoming a professional is still not over, and the training is doubled.
The effect and the triple effect of the orange state are even more gratifying.
Among them, the physical attributes naturally increased by three points, especially after three days of recovery training, there was another increase, which also proved Grant's theory——
After experiencing the severe test of three consecutive weeks of competition, his body is already ready for quantitative changes to qualitative changes. The next step is to see whether Gao Wen can grit his teeth and persist in training.
In addition, Gao Wen also consciously maintained a balance between body and technology, especially in the final stage of the three-week competition. The burning sensation after physical exhaustion sounded the alarm. The Grand Slam is a two-week event, and it is an arduous event. If you want to
To form as many confrontations as possible with powerful opponents, the body is the foundation.
Therefore, after reaching full growth potential, Gawain also accumulated three points.
Then, the physical attributes increased from 72 at that time to 78.
In terms of technical attributes, there is almost no separate special training in the three-day recovery training, and the corresponding improvement is very weak, at least not visible from the numerical value; and the natural growth rate through the two-week competition is also obviously weak, and the continuous and arduous training
The game has only improved a little bit.
It is precisely because of this that when his growth potential is at full value, Gao Wen always consciously considers technical attributes first. After all, the improvement through daily training is limited, especially in the non-stop competition process, he still needs his own special attention to be able to do so.
Maintain balanced development.
In the past period of time, Gao Wen has added three points to his technical attributes.
From the previous 78 to 82, this also caused the technical attributes to break through the 80-point threshold. From here, we can see Gao Wen's playing style.
What is very, very noteworthy is that in two weeks, ten games, and three days of training, the growth potential reached full value six times.
The soaring speed is rapid!
This is something that has never been seen before. On the one hand, it is because the bottleneck has been successfully advanced, and on the other hand, because the competition intensity of the challenge is higher than that of the NCAA. Coupled with the strong output for three consecutive weeks, it will naturally usher in huge profits.
s return.
This also proves once again that the decision to use the summer to participate in the challenge is correct.
As for the mental attribute, although Gawain did not add points through growth potential, severe competitions are always experiences. Every duel, every game, every point of confrontation may become the key to tempering the nerves.
, this is also the only way to accumulate competition experience.
Incredibly, the mental attributes have increased by five points just by relying on natural growth. The growth trend is frightening. It has now reached 87. Even with the comprehensive improvement of physical attributes and technical attributes, it still maintains a huge advantage.
, is always Gawain’s most tenacious and powerful link.
At this time, Gao Wen was not only browsing each attribute value, but also browsing the sub-items under each attribute value to see what his shortcomings and strengths were, and what he needed to continue to make up for and improve, because he only had two weeks.
, where should the focus of training be placed?
He needs a clear framework. Only by fully understanding himself can he understand his needs. Instead of simply leaving everything to the system, he only needs to immerse himself in practice. This is wrong and is not conducive to his long-term development.
