Gawain watched the trajectory of his return ball intently.
In fact, at the moment of taking action, he also realized that the control was slightly greater; but the problem was that at this time, the whole person was in a state of exhaustion and overdraft, and the feel was slightly sluggish, so that the judgment was not that accurate, and he could not 100%
I'm 100% sure, so I'll wait for the tennis ball to hit the ground.
Out of bounds, it really lacks a bit.
It's a pity, it's definitely still a pity.
Everyone in the game tried their best without reservation, breaking the opponent's serve to win the game, and continuously saving match points. Such an ups and downs game really burned all the abilities at this stage, and fought hard to the end.
moment, but in the end, they were still unable to reverse and win.
Nadal once said this in an interview:
Sometimes, you have to admit that the game just isn't yours.
All along, Gawain thought he understood the meaning of this sentence, but in fact, after experiencing this game, he truly understood the mixture of bitterness and relief contained in it. Without experiencing it personally, he would never be able to feel a victory or defeat.
the feelings brought about.
call……
With the breath in his chest, all the regrets, frustrations, and complications were all vented out, and then he could no longer stand, his knees went weak, and he just lay on the ground.
He really has no strength at all now, burning out without any reservation, as if his entire soul has been hollowed out.
However, after the regret was vented, what filled my chest was a kind of satisfaction and happiness——
Because of a hearty game, he clearly realized the upper limit of his current strength and condition. At the same time, he also saw the direction and goal of continuing to fight. His boiling blood was burning. He liked this moment to be completely empty.
Feel.
The other side of the stadium.
Simon was also exhausted, but the slight difference was that he was the victorious party. The adrenaline bursting from joy and happiness made him temporarily unable to feel tired; what's more, he was already accustomed to his own game, and the final outcome of victory or defeat was the final outcome.
Just as exhausted and sweating profusely.
Simon raised his arms high to celebrate his victory, but he soon discovered that he had been hollowed out, and he didn't even have the strength to make a fist to celebrate.
Then, Simon noticed Gawain lying on the ground on the other side of the court. He took heavy and tired steps, walked around the court and walked towards Gawain.
In life, Simon is a loner. He doesn't have many friends on the tour. Even the players from France are not familiar with him. His picky and troublesome character can easily offend others.
But this time, it's a little different.
After experiencing such an exciting and ups and downs game, Gawain won his respect with his practical actions, and he was willing to extend his olive branch.
He stopped in front of Gawain, stretched out his right hand, and asked in a somewhat dull and arrogant tone,
"are you OK?"
Gawain grabbed Simon's right hand and stood up relying on Simon's strength. In fact, Simon was also a little exhausted. He pulled Gawain's body so that he was a little wobbly and almost lost his footing, but he still controlled it in the end.
Own.
Then, Gawain gave Simon a hug and said with a smile.
"It's okay, I can still run a half marathon."
Simon could also detect the ridicule in Gawain's words, and there was a slight smile in his eyes, but he didn't like to joke around, so he didn't say much.
Originally, Simon was planning to help Gawain return to the players' dugout, but he did not expect that Gawain relied on his own strength to stand firmly. Simon did not force himself and let go of his right hand, but still did not leave quickly.
Instead, he stayed by Gawain's side, seeming to be worried that Gawain would not be able to stand firmly.
Unknowingly, Qiao Wangsheng had stood up.
Although Gao Wen regretted not being able to reach the semi-finals of the Magic City Masters Tournament, Gao Wen fought unyieldingly until the last point. He stood on the edge of the cliff several times and refused to surrender. He kept fighting until the last bullet was fired; even in the face of his legs
Despite the terrible condition of cramps, he still gave a top performance at the end of the game——
Gawain can leave center court with his head held high.
Qiao Wangsheng could feel a wave of enthusiasm surging in his chest. He was moved, passionate and happy. What is more precious than victory is a heart that always fights and always strives. It is a courage that always challenges and always runs wildly. In Gawain
, he found the power of life again.
Then, Qiao Wangsheng noticed Gawain's limping steps. It was obvious that the cramp in his left calf had not fully recovered, and he was exhausted and almost unsteady. However, Gawain's spine was still as straight as on the vast Gobi desert.
The white poplars grow towards the sun stubbornly and full of vitality.
Tears filled my eyes.
"Pah! Pah!"
Qiao Wangsheng raised his hands high, clapped his palms above his head, and beat the rhythm, once, and again.
He had thousands of words to express, and he had turbulent waves that he wanted to vent, but his throat was blocked and he couldn't make any sound. He couldn't even call out the name "Gawain", so he chose the simplest option.
Also the most direct way:
Hit the palm.
Soon, Qiao Wangsheng discovered that he was not alone.
The audience in the center court stood up one after another. Looking at the packed stadium, it was filled with dense white poplars, standing in the wind, and applauded like thunder.
"Pah! Pah!"
One sound, another sound.
In the blink of an eye, the sounds of high-fives came together like this. They started out sparsely and slowly condensed into a rope, erupting in a uniform manner with overwhelming energy, breaking through the shackles of the central court and filling the sky above the entire Qizhong Tennis Center.
Circling, writing another milestone in the Magic City Masters.
It’s because of Gawain, it’s also because of Simon, to be precise, it’s because of this game——
It was such a dramatic and tense game. Although the tug-of-war was not a tense and sparkling offensive battle, the tenacity and perseverance displayed by the two players at the critical moment gave the game a different color.
, deeply imprinted in memory.
In fact, at least more than half of the audience at the scene came to join in the fun. They may not have watched tennis at all, but came just for Gawain.
But I didn't expect that I would get an unexpected reward from watching melon eating. I not only appreciated the charm of tennis, but also truly felt the charm of competitive sports.
These applause are the best proof.
Qiao Wangsheng stared at Simon and Gawain in the stadium with tears in his eyes, and then the smile on his lips bloomed:
He was very lucky that he could get to know Gao Wen and witness Gao Wen's growth. He rediscovered his passion for tennis and his love for life.
It turns out that life can indeed have more and more, they just need an eye to discover happiness.
"Pah! Pah!"
The whole place roared and hovered for a long time, so that all the staff and volunteers gathered together, quietly felt it, and became one of them.
