Gawain's head was full of question marks, but Jiang Yanyun came over, patted the back of Gawain's hand heavily, and muttered.
"Did you eat it secretly again? Have you washed your hands? You are so old and you don't know how to pay attention to hygiene? The guests are coming soon, why don't you help set the dishes and chopsticks quickly?"
"Lao Gao, hurry up and open the door for the guest. I also have braised crucian carp, which will be ready soon. Let the guest have a seat."
This hustle and bustle brought Gao Wen back to his hometown for the Lunar New Year in one second, as if relatives and friends would swarm in soon afterwards, chirping "Happy New Year", then happily asking for red envelopes, and complaining about this winter.
Why is the weather so cold at home?
Gawain was a little dazed.
Blinking his eyes, he finally reacted, but his mind was filled with questions.
"Mom, what kind of guest? Am I not the only guest today?"
"...You are a guest, what kind of guest are you going home? You are just talking nonsense! You wash your hands quickly, then set the dishes and chopsticks, and take out the drinks from the refrigerator. Don't drink Coca-Cola. I bought it for you separately.
Orange juice. Oops, the cup hasn't been washed yet, remember to scald it with boiling water."
The answer was not exactly what was asked, and it turned out to be the same motherly style as always.
While he was talking, Gao Hongli had already opened the door to the room, and Tobias followed him up to greet the visitors.
Gawain didn't understand why there were other guests when he and his parents reunited in New York? And it seemed that Tobias also knew this guest?
Immediately afterwards, another tall man entered the room, and the originally small apartment suddenly became more and more crowded.
"Pete?"
Gawain was really, really surprised. He had never expected to see Sampras here! Are you sure you are right about this scene and atmosphere?
"Hey, Gawain!"
Sampras greeted warmly.
"I hope I'm not late. God, the terrain of Flushing is like a maze. I used to go to and from the stadium, and I never really walked around here. Everything felt strange. I walked back and forth for a long time, and when I typed the wrong three
After I walked in, I almost suspected that the fourth time was also wrong. You don’t know how happy and lucky I was when I saw John’s old face.”
Gawain raised his hands and feet in approval of Sampras coming to visit, but the question is, why?
Sampras seemed to be able to sense Gawain's confusion, and immediately reacted and looked at Tobias.
"Aha, haven't you told Gawain yet?"
"Jesus Christ, this is not good news. Believe me, Gawain, if you don't want to, you can say 'no' and refuse. Don't worry about what I think. I just want to help, so how you feel is up to you.
It’s your thoughts that matter most.”
What?
What and what?
But before Gao Wen could ask any questions, Jiang Yanyun came out of the kitchen and exclaimed.
"ah!"
In an instant, all eyes were on him, and Gao Hongli stepped forward quickly. Everyone thought something had happened, but Jiang Yanyun stared at Sampras intently, and then asked in disbelief.
"Pete Sampras? Are you today's mysterious guest?"
Sampras diverted his attention, presented a bouquet of flowers he had brought, and greeted him with a smile on his face.
"You must be Mrs. Gao. This is the first time we meet. I am Pete Sampras."
Jiang Yanyun immediately covered his mouth, but the smile and surprise still showed in his eyes, and his whole body exuded an aura of joy and happiness——
At that time, Jiang Yanyun liked Andre Agassi very much, which also became an opportunity for Gao Wen to learn tennis.
In fact, before the great rivalry of "Federer VS Nadal" created countless historical records, the world tennis in the 1990s belonged to "Sampras VS Agassi". This pair of old enemies also dedicated their lives in the professional arena.
Many wonderful confrontations.
So, how could Jiang Yanyun not know Agassi’s old rival?
Tobias just told Gao Hongli and Jiang Yanyun that Gao Wen had invited a guest to visit tonight. The Chinese people who were so hospitable naturally had no reason to refuse. The two of them nodded proactively and agreed, but the guest
His true identity is completely unknown.
Although Jiang Yanyun is not a fan of Sampras - he even hated Sampras because of Agassi, but at this moment, watching the legend who has given countless wonderful matches on the TV appear in front of him, Jiang Yanyun is still a little embarrassed.
.
"Of course I know you. In the 1999 Wimbledon final, you defeated Agassi in three sets to reach the top. That is still the saddest but most unforgettable game for me."
Because when it comes to tennis, Jiang Yanyun's words are obviously much more eloquent, and his endless thoughts flow out like this. He talks about past classic duels in detail. He can feel his love for tennis all over his body, and the sparkle in his eyes.
Bright light doesn't lie.
Now Gao Wen can truly believe that it was his mother's love for tennis that made him embark on this path.
He could see Tobias approaching from the corner of his eyes. Gawain temporarily withdrew his gaze and looked at Tobias, waiting for an answer.
"Grant's words before are correct. If you turn professional, you need a professional coaching team. When the time comes, we need to discuss and select together, because only a correct coach can bring out the full potential of the players and let the players go on the right path."
The right path of development.”
"However, the US Open is just around the corner, and I think you also need a little advice. It's not necessarily about the arrangement of the training plan, but more about the preparations before the game, psychological adjustment, preparation for opponents, etc. These experiences are very useful to you.
They are all very valuable, so I hope you can have an interim coach."
"To be more precise, he is more of a consultant than a coach."
"I thought about it and Pete was a perfect choice, but I wasn't sure if he would be interested. After all, he had said he wasn't cut out to be a coach and would never be one, so I made a call and asked.
His opinion."
Sampras, after Federer broke the record of fourteen Grand Slams, he is still the king of football in the eyes of countless fans. Naturally, many players hope that he can serve as their coach, but Sampras rejected them all.
, including Federer’s invitation.
but now?
Tobias shrugged, "He hopes to give you some help, free of charge."
In fact, Sampras did not hide his love for Gao Wen during the singles final of the United States Championship. He was always eager to give Gao Wen some advice and see how Gao Wen would grow up.
Tobias witnessed all this. He knew that Sampras had a special regard for this young man, so he extended the invitation.
Tobias wanted to give Gawain a surprise, but now he noticed Gawain's scrutinizing gaze, which made Tobias' brain cool down. He felt a thump in his heart and suddenly realized something:
