"...Welcome to the New York City Subway Line 7, stop ahead, Flushing! Open the door on the right, please bring your belongings and get off on the right..."
The station announcement sound in the subway station seemed intermittent amidst the clanging sound of the tracks. It required a high degree of concentration not to miss the announcement. However, Gu Xiao had already been waiting at the door to get off the train. He was so eager and excited that it was difficult to jump for joy.
It was surging and boiling with restraint.
Involuntarily, he was reminded of Athens two months ago.
He caught a crazy idea, and then boldly embarked on a journey to Athens, where he witnessed with his own eyes the moment when the Bruins reached the top and Gao Wen won the championship. Those brilliant, wanton and flamboyant, hot and graceful memories are still there even now.
It's still lifelike, and you can hear the noise and cheers again just by closing your eyes.
However, no one expected that in just two months, Gao Wen would be on the stage of the quarterfinals of the US Open, launching an attack on a history-making semifinals seat.
Just imagining it in my mind makes my blood boil.
Gu Xiao knew that there were not many fans of Gao Wen. After all, two weeks ago, the name "Gao Wen" had not appeared on any list of participants above the ATP 250 level. Even if he and Goffin worked together to create consecutive
The history of winning the three-week challenge still does not have much weight or significance.
Not to mention compared to players like Isner, Wawrinka, and Kei Nishikori who have been playing in professional tennis for many years and have long occupied a place in the top 20 in the world. Even compared to Kyrgios, who just rose to prominence in the first half of this year.
Speaking of which, I'm afraid the number of fans is not at the same level at all.
Of course, on social networks, you can now deeply feel the heat wave focused on Gawain. There are thousands of fans on the other side of the Pacific who are cheering for Gawain, who was born this year and wrote miracles.
The popularity has skyrocketed to the top.
However, the vast Pacific Ocean and the twelve-hour time difference prevented these cheers and shouts from echoing over Flushing through time and space.
Coupled with the popularity of tennis, there are relatively few Chinese fans, and even fewer fans can go to the scene to cheer for the players.
Quarterfinals battle...
Gu Xiao is worried that the support at the scene may be one-sided. From all aspects, his opponent Kei Nishikori has the advantage, but this "Asian Showdown" is a contest in which they absolutely do not want to show weakness. They look forward to Gao Wen's continued
Create a miracle, and hope that Gawain can win this encounter with a red bayonet.
It is precisely because he deeply understands the difficulty that Gu Xiao hopes to go to watch the game live.
So, he did this——
I used the income I earned from working in the past two months to buy a plane ticket and book three nights of accommodation. I stayed up all night from Los Angeles to New York, and then headed to Flushing.
Gu Xiao knew that this was an impulse and a passion, but after the experience in Athens, he knew that he would never regret it. On the contrary, if he hesitated and missed the opportunity to watch the game live, he might
I will regret it for a long, long time.
In the new semester in September, he will enter his senior year. There is not much left in his college life. After graduation, he will no longer be able to act as he pleases. If he does not catch the tail of youth, he may never be able to be like Xia Hua.
It blooms normally, so it misses the flowering period.
Gu Xiao hopes that he can learn to indulge.
Obviously, this decision was supported by Qiao Wangsheng and the others. The group of friends in the post bar were even more excited and excited than Gu Xiao. One or two, they were making suggestions for Gu Xiao and looked forward to seeing Gu Xiao at the training ground.
Gawain, convey their support.
The subway has arrived.
Leaving the subway and walking along the surging crowds, you can easily find the location of Arthur Ashe Stadium without having to identify the direction, because the building is so conspicuous in Flushing, and because there are so many fans going to Flushing at this time.
Not a few——
There's a lot of drama at Arthur Ashe Stadium today.
The first mixed doubles semi-final is the American Civil War, the second women's singles match is between Makarova and Azarenka, and the third match is the focus of Gawain and Kei Nishikori.
The night session was opened by Serena Williams, and the powerful duel between Djokovic and Murray was the last one. It is definitely a game not to be missed for tennis enthusiasts, and even many experts
Many people believe that this game should be regarded as a semi-final or a preview of the final.
The singles competition has fully entered the quarterfinals. Two men's and two women's games are all scheduled at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Every game is the focus!
In addition, a women's doubles quarterfinal match is scheduled for the second court at Louis Armstrong Stadium. The combination of Chinese player Zheng Jie will face the combination of Neon Legend veteran Date Kimiko. This can also be regarded as the men's singles quarterfinals match."
Another continuation of "Gawain VS Kei Nishikori".
It is precisely because of this that the number of Asian faces coming to Flushing today has increased significantly. There used to be many Chinese living here, but now it is even more lively. The yellow skin coming and going is mixed with the familiar Cantonese, Hokkien and other dialects.
, there is an illusion of traveling through time and space.
Gu Xiao was hesitating as to where he should go, and then at a glance he saw a five-star red flag flying high in the wind. The bright red was shining under the midday sun, and the bustle of the crowds of people was reduced to the background.
Involuntarily, the footsteps followed the guidance of the flag and approached. The bustling crowd spread standard Mandarin, and the sense of distance suddenly disappeared.
Looking around, the crowds of people coming and going are still full of variety and colour, and English with different accents is intertwined and turbulent. Then the eyes fall on the eyes again, and because of these familiar yellow skin and black eyes, the distance is instantly shortened, even if the steps have not yet been taken.
, as if already standing side by side with them.
"..." Just when Gu Xiao was wandering and confused, a man with a slightly bulging belly strode over on his own initiative.
This man looks to be about thirty years old, but because of his slightly receding hairline, it's hard to tell whether his actual age is higher or lower, but the bold and enthusiastic smile on his face always makes people feel friendly.
"Did you come here specifically to watch Gawain's game?"
He asked warmly and friendly in English with an accent, but Gu Xiao couldn't tell where the accent was. After all, the dialect culture of mainland China is too rich. Before Gu Xiao could respond, the other party continued talking.
, introduced Gu Xiao enthusiastically.
"We are all fans of Gauvin. Because we know that there are not many fans, we plan to gather together and go to Arthur Ashe Stadium to cheer for him."
