Playing against the Big Four - to be precise, all games against top players are like this, a valuable experience and a valuable lesson:
Regardless of winning or losing, there are many things that need to be summarized after the game, and then absorbed and transformed, and finally become the nourishment for one's continued growth.
To win, you need to think about how you win? Is it possible to copy and paste? Which parts perform well and should be maintained; which parts perform poorly and should be improved? Technical level, tactical level, game interpretation, etc. After the game review, can you
What experience was gained?
The same goes for failure. We need to go through the same problems and the same routines and analyze the game from an objective, rational and professional perspective.
This is what Tim and Gawain are doing.
The game video can be studied in detail after you go back or after the entire game is over, but the immediate communication between the players is also very important.
"...If you don't find an opportunity to receive the serve, it doesn't matter. Be patient, because Novak also needs to make arrangements. His games often have relatively conservative transition balls. In fact, there are more offensive opportunities than expected. Then attack at this time
You need to think carefully, not just for this one shot, but for the next three or even five shots, break the routine, and then start the attack."
"The rounds on fast hard courts are so short, how can you have time to think so much?"
"That's why we need more game experience and continuous practice and polishing through actual combat. On the one hand, we need to cultivate our own tactical qualities, and on the other hand, we need to cultivate our ability to adapt to changes on the spot. The game cannot be in vain."
"Well, I understand. I'll go back and watch the game video and study it again. I feel like I can learn a lot from this game."
"It was the same thing when I played against Nadal last week."
"Ah, now I want to fight Novak again."
"If you want to get in front of him, you need to beat other players, so this is the motivation to continue to improve yourself and train hard."
Tim, not depressed at all.
In fact, he knew that his current condition was not good. He had one round in Neon and two rounds in Magic City, and his performance was mediocre. This was the fundamental reason why he agreed to Gao Wen's doubles competition and used competition as a training tool to adjust himself.
But in the difficult situation, he also saw the positive side, at least he won a game this week; and he also learned a lot against Djokovic, and then he needs to return to the training ground to continue to polish himself.
"Okay, okay, after today's doubles match, how about we practice an extra game?"
This time, it was Gawain's turn to look at Tim with surprise:
Everyone said that Gawain was a training madman, but now it seems that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world.
When Tim saw Gawain's expression, he took a moment to realize that their double match today and extra training seemed a bit exaggerated, even for him and Gawain.
Tim also realized that he was a little too excited and was about to explain, but unexpectedly, Gawain shrugged.
"Let's see how the doubles match goes."
Does this...do you mean no rejection?
Before Gawain and Tim could continue the conversation, a head popped up next to them, with wide eyes, looking back and forth between the two of them, asking curiously.
"Is it because of this that you teamed up to play doubles?"
"Someone said that you are the 'devil's group'?"
The light words were definitely not provocation or accusation, more like a joke, but Tim didn't know how to respond to this type of joke, his expression was a little awkward, and he subconsciously looked at Gawain.
Before Gawain could speak, a hand appeared from behind and pulled back the baby face in front of him. Even though he couldn't see his face, he could feel the deep annoyance in his voice.
"Bob! Stop your prank, you are so rude."
Gawain did not look back, but looked at the baby face in front of him, raised his right hand, made a high-five to celebrate, and said with a smile.
"'Devil Group', oh yeah, this nickname is too killer, it is still our nickname."
Babyface grinned, high-fived Gawain, and then made a strange oh-oh-oh-hey sound, as if the New Zealand natives were celebrating finding food.
Tim blinked: So, what's going on?
Then, Tim could see another identical baby face appear, with a kind of ghosting effect. He looked back and forth several times to "find differences", but could not find the difference between the two faces.
"Sorry, please forgive us for eavesdropping on your conversation. Bob definitely means no harm, but he just can't stop."
The second baby face looked much calmer. He showed a polite smile and said to Tim and Gawain. Then he patted the first baby face who was imitating the monkey and took the initiative to introduce them.
"This is Bob."
"I'm Mike."
"We're all Brian."
