Turning around, Gawain could see the slowly retreating camera lens pointed at him, truly recording the true and tender scene just now.
Gao Wen still doesn't feel comfortable with it. He has only played two games in Flushing, but he has already gained a fan without the support of school or compatriots. Is this an unexpected surprise?
Sensing that the camera lens was capturing him, Gao Wen was a little reserved for the rare occasion. He scratched his head, showed a smile, and then made a "shush" gesture towards the camera lens, as if asking the audience who saw this scene to keep it secret and not to wander around.
It was a general publicity, which immediately made the fans and reporters watching this scene burst into good-natured laughter.
"Gawain! Come on!"
From the spectator stand diagonally in front, a familiar Chinese voice could be heard, easily grabbing Gawain's attention and reminding him not to forget his fellow fans.
He raised his head and looked over, and then he could see three friendly faces from his hometown gathered next to the players' tunnel. Bright smiles were blooming in front of him. It was exactly where Gao Wen was originally planning to visit but was accidentally interrupted. From a close distance
You can feel the advantages of New York as a city where many fellow citizens gather together.
Obviously, they are fans who support Gao Wen unconditionally, and they also made a special trip to cheer for Gao Wen today.
During the game, you can see a bright five-star red flag constantly fluttering in the wind, bathed in the golden sunshine, and continuously playing the role of Gao Wen's most solid backing, hoarse and passionate, which also makes the second round of the game slightly different.
.
"Thanks!"
Gawain waved and said hello. Whenever and wherever he saw his compatriots, they were friendly and familiar, and the smile on his lips naturally rose.
After signing autographs, shaking hands, greetings, and brief cordial conversations, after serving the fans, Gawain, who was covered in sweat, finally left along the long and narrow stadium channel.
It can be seen from the back that he is tired, but joy and happiness are still overflowing, and Zhang Dalei, who is quietly witnessing all this, has a taste in his mouth.
In fact, there were not many Chinese fans who came to Stadium No. 17 today. There were only seven people in front of and behind them. Then, in the middle of the game, four of them left the field midway.
reason?
It's very complex and diverse, but in the final analysis, I still lack confidence.
On the one hand, tennis fans are relatively limited. After Li Na withdrew due to injury, the attention of this year's US Open also plummeted, and the number of fans preparing to go to Flushing to watch the game was significantly reduced by half.
Then, Gauvin won his first Grand Slam victory in a shocking upset, catching all the fans off guard. Obviously, many fans had no time to adjust their schedules and did not have time to come to Flushing to watch the game on Thursday.
On the other hand, the fans rejoiced because Gao Wen made history, and looked forward to Gao Wen's further breakthroughs and creating more history, but deep down, did they really believe that Gao Wen could continue his efforts and advance to the third round?
As soon as the results came up, Gao Wen lost two sets in a row. It was like the national football team was given five goals in the first half of the game. So do the fans still have confidence that the national football team can come back in the second half? Even if the opponent is just "a mere" Thailand?
What's more, at the same time, another representative player of Chinese tennis, Peng Shuai, was also playing.
Today, Peng Shuai is about to face the fourth seed player Radwanska in women's singles. This match is directly arranged at Louis Armstrong Stadium. It is undoubtedly one of the key matches.
Obviously, the appreciation value of Peng Shuai's game is higher. Even CCTV finally chose the Louis Armstrong Stadium signal after several struggles and repeated considerations.
Between Peng Shuai, who "has achieved countless great results and is more capable of confrontation", and Gao Wen, who "appeared out of nowhere and now has only the theoretical possibility of winning", it is not that difficult to choose which game to play.
So, in the end, only three fans persisted until the end of the game, witnessing the birth of history again on Court No. 17!
Wang Dalei complained for Gao Wen.
The overall average strength of men's tennis is closer. Every victory and every duel is more difficult and more intense. Otherwise, Chinese men's players will not be able to break through.
Now Gawain is fighting alone and carrying an unimaginable burden. He needs to go all out in every game to fight for a faint ray of hope.
However, Gao Wen never gave up. With high morale and perseverance, he fought hard and turned his weak hope into reality. He eliminated the No. 13 seed in the first round and lost two and won three in the second round.
Reversal, a little negligence in any game may lead to different results.
How precious.
Indeed, everyone likes to win, and no one will like a player or a team because of one defeat after another. But if everyone supports the strong, who can stand behind the weak and cheer for them?
What? If everyone supports the winner, who can stand beside the loser and fight alongside them?
In the Premier League, there is a team called Brentford and a fan named Derek Burridge.
Borridge has been a fan of Brentford since he was a child. On May 26, 1947, the fourteen-year-old Borridge saw Brentford lose to Arsenal "0:1" at home and was dismissed.
Forced to be relegated, he left the stadium in tears.
After that, Brentford continued to sink all the way, and countless loyal fans turned around. After all, there were too many teams in London, but Boridge never gave up and silently supported the team.
, until August 15, 2021, seventy-four years later.
Brentford finally returned to the Premier League as a newly promoted team, and their first-round opponent was Arsenal at home. Borich fought with the team at the scene. In the end, Brentford was upset with "2:0"
"At that moment when Arsenal was defeated, Boric burst into tears and cried like a child.
At this time, Borridge was eighty-eight years old.
Competitive sports are always about victory, this is a fact; but sometimes we should realize that competitive sports are not only about victory, but also about hard work, challenges, breakthroughs, passion, hard work and never-ending.
A battle to give up!
There is no doubt that the next round of competition will be very, very difficult for Gao Wen. As the rounds progress, his opponents will definitely become stronger and stronger, and the difficulty of victory will naturally increase exponentially.
However, if they do not accompany Gawain to fight together, then will the hope of victory become even slimmer?
Wang Dalei sincerely hopes that more fans from his compatriots will come to cheer for Gao Wen. No matter they win or lose, they will fight with Gao Wen. Gao Wen will not give up until the last point is decided, and they should not give up.
