The shouts were endless, and the entire diamond stadium continued to surge with waves of sound. Yu Jia and Gao Wen stood face to face, patiently waiting for the opportunity to start the interview, but the shouts and cheers that resounded through the sky could not stop, as if the air was starting to
Burning, the world boils with it.
A long time. A long time.
Yu Jia tried three times, and finally the frenzy at the scene calmed down a little, and the post-match interview was finally able to begin. Yu Jia's heart began to surge with excitement, and before the words were uttered, you could see his smile blooming lightly.
"Congratulations, Gawain, congratulations on your victory. So, how do you feel now?"
Standard questions, kicked off in a decent manner.
But Gawain did not answer immediately. Instead, he raised his chin, looked around, and then looked at Yu Jia, showing a big smile.
"It's nice to be home."
Ho ho ho!
Oh oh oh!
Ahhhh!
In an instant, the Diamond Stadium was boiling with excitement again. This short sentence was full of kindness and warmth. After all, home games were different.
Yu Jia looked at Gao Wen with a smile on his face, and his mood became happy. He asked curiously, "So, what is it like to play at home?"
"Peace of mind." Gao Wen did not pause this time, and the answer came immediately from the microphone, "Actually, during the US Open competition, I faced the local player Isner in the first round. To be honest, I was very scared.
I’m nervous because what I’m trying to do is obviously what they least like to see.”
Hahaha.
The audience burst into laughter, and the mood of the away game came to life in just a few words.
"And when I really succeeded, the first thought in my mind was, oh no, I will probably have to face boos in the next game, but I soon realized that maybe the next round will be
At the end of my race, it's clear that I don't need to worry about things that haven't happened yet."
Hahaha!
He was laughing, not only because of his words, but more importantly because of Gawain's tone and tone. The joking and joking between his eyebrows made the whole conversation full of joy. Then you can see Gawain spreading his hands and looking around again.
The whole audience.
"Obviously, I don't need to worry about it today. I even thought about whether I could throw the racket and lose my temper."
After saying that, Gawain pursed his lips with a self-complaining expression on his face.
The scene was full of whistles, laughter, cheers and shouts, it was so lively.
Along with this, Gawain himself also smiled and added another sentence.
"Undoubtedly, this is a very, very unique experience. Standing in front of my hometown elders to play ball is even more nervous than standing in front of my parents. Throughout the game, I have been warning myself not to start swearing just because I am excited. After all,
, everyone here can understand it.”
Hilarious!
Bursting with laughter!
A conventional topic can always evolve into infinite possibilities in Gao Wen's understatement. The audience never knew:
It turns out that post-match interviews can be so exciting. If you leave early after the match point, you may miss too much.
In fact, Yu Jia did not expect it.
It was an eye-opener for Yu Jia. Although at the press conference in Flushing, Yu Jia had felt Gawain's private humor more than once; but at this moment, the feeling was still different. She could really feel Gawain's private humor.
Relaxation and comfort radiate from the inside out.
Even without Yu Jia asking questions, Gao Wen had already completely immersed the audience in it.
But Yu Jia still needs to shoulder heavy responsibilities.
"Today's game was indeed a bit difficult. Your backhand has not been adjusted to the best condition, which has greatly affected the overall game state. In the first set, we can all feel the ups and downs of the game, but as the game progresses
, you seem to have slowly regained your feeling, so how did you persevere and turn the situation around?"
A slightly professional question, closely related to the competition.
Gawain raised his eyebrows and said seriously, "A smart person should answer that it was the support of the audience that made me high-spirited and win."
Although Gawain didn't say it, everyone could hear the "but" in the words, which once again triggered laughter, one after another.
However, Gawain did not fail. He even covered his heart with both hands to show that he was speaking from the bottom of his heart. He continued to speak with a serious expression on his face.
"Today's game was indeed a bit difficult, but that's how tennis is. Sometimes your forehand is better, sometimes your backhand is better, and sometimes you don't know what you are doing."
The complaining tone made it impossible to stop laughing.
"I work very hard to stay focused on the game and keep asking myself what you can do and what you should do."
"Besides, this is not Flushing. If we lose, there will be no reason for the away crowd to interfere with my state. You definitely don't want to be chased and intercepted by reporters at the post-match press conference."
Hahaha!
Everyone could hear the banter in Gawain's words. Even Yu Jia couldn't help but laugh out loud and had to admire Gawain's easy humor.
"So, I'm very glad that I found a way, step by step, think about what else I can do, at least don't let the game fall so fast."
"Slowly, the game came back a little bit, not much, but enough."
"What is certain is that I still have a lot of work to do in the next step, and training cannot stop, but no matter what, victory is a very important step."
Yu Jia couldn't help but become curious and asked a slightly personal yet professional question, "So where do you think the turning point of this game is?"
"Tie-break in the first set." Gawain didn't hesitate at all.
"When you experience a terrible tiebreaker like that, you know that the game is actually not under your control. This is a very scary thing. If nothing changes, defeat is the only result."
"Actually, I had already started thinking about excuses for losing, but unfortunately I couldn't find a suitable one. Even I couldn't convince myself, so I thought, well, winning is the only option."
It’s hilarious and whistles.
There were cheers and roars.
The whole place roared.
The Diamond Stadium was so noisy and shocking. He had never seen such a scene before. Yu Jia couldn't help but raise his head and look around, looking at the audience cheering and cheering, looking at the five-star red flags flying in the sky, and looking at
Those faces distorted by cheers and excitement, truly felt the rolling heat waves coming from all directions, igniting the whole world.
Perhaps, the "Big Four" can also enjoy the applause and cheers of the audience in this venue, but no one can conquer this place like Gawain.
Now, Yu Jia can finally understand why the "New York Times" said, "Gao Wen not only won the US Open championship, but also won Flushing."
Only by truly experiencing the charm exuded by Gao Wen's every move up close can we understand how this young man became a global idol step by step.
