Then, all eyes were focused on Sampras, who also had a headache.
On one side, Peart is right.
After three whole weeks of lack of systematic training, and two weeks of competition between the Imperial Capital and the Magic Capital, Gao Wen really needed to calm down and find the rhythm of training, which was something he couldn't do by training instead of competition.
Such as physical fitness.
If Gao Wen has been reluctantly participating, let alone his performance, even if he can make it to the year-end finals, he may not be very competitive.
The worst situation is to face injuries. Players such as Nadal, Gulbis, Raonic, etc. all face such troubles at the end of the season.
On the other hand, Tobias is also right.
From a purely scheduling perspective, it is correct to focus on the year-end finals. Otherwise, if you only arrange the time with the Paris Masters as the sprint goal, the position will be really embarrassing.
Moreover, Sampras also believes that the year-end finals is an opportunity for Gao Wen, but he does not consider it from the perspective of market or brand image, but more from competition experience——
Just like a Grand Slam final, having played in it and not having played in it are definitely two different things.
This year's US Open, if the duel between Gao Wen and Djokovic took place in the final, it might be a different story; it is precisely because Gao Wen and Cilic met in the final, both of them are novices, so the final
The pressure bonus did not break the progress of the game.
In the view of Sampras, the most important meaning of the year-end finals is "the competition between masters", which truly allows Gao Wen to experience the occasion, which plays an important role in the accumulation of competition experience and the growth of competition temperament.
What's more, Sampras himself is a professional player. He knows how important a goal is to players, just like the finish line of a 100-meter sprint. Players must know the existence of such a finish line before they can go all out.
Sprinting, this is the source of motivation for fighting, and the year-end finals will be a good motivation for Gao Wen.
In other words, both Peart and Tobias are correct, so how should we choose?
Sampras was also very embarrassed.
In fact, reason told Sampras that he should trust Peart's judgment. Professional players should not focus on the present, but should take a long-term view. The year-end finals is just the final game of this year, but Gao Wen's career has just begun.
Get started.
But emotion told Sampras that they should be passionate——
Reaching the year-end finals in the first year of his career is another historical record that has never been achieved before and is probably hard to come by, just like winning the first Grand Slam in his career.
"Pete!"
Tobias noticed Sampras's hesitation, shook his head helplessly, and complained mercilessly.
"When you are on the field, you are always so straightforward and decisive. Who knew that as a coach, you are so mother-in-law? You only need to make one decision."
Sampras spread his hands and said, "Believe me, the life of a player is much simpler than that of a coach."
However, Sampras was still a decisive character after all and did not hesitate any longer and gave an opinion.
"Why don't we tell Gawain, including your opinions, and then listen to Gawain's own thoughts."
"You all know that Gawain is a strong-minded guy. He always knows what he is doing."
Tobias raised his hands to express surrender, signaled a truce, and nodded in affirmative.
Peart was a little hesitant.
The contact time between Peart and Gao Wen was relatively short, only about a month. During most of that time, Gao Wen was busy with promotional activities and spent even less time standing on the training ground, so he was very interested in Gao Wen.
I don’t know enough about Wen, at least not like Tobias and Sampras——
Gawain is only eighteen years old. If I remember correctly, he will turn nineteen in one month. Does he really have such a judgment ability?
But Peart also knows that strictly speaking, Gawain is the boss of their entire team. No matter what decision they make, they still need Gawain to make the final decision. If Gawain insists on attending all games with full attendance, or Gawain announces it in advance.
At the end of the season, they all need to obey Gawain's decision.
Thinking of this, Peart also remained silent and did not say anything more.
At this moment, Gawain, who had just returned from the bathroom, originally just said hello to Sampras, but found that all three people turned to look at him, and he couldn't help but make a joke.
"What, are you planning a bloody wedding?"
However, no one laughed, and obviously did not understand where Lu Qian was laughing, and they still stared at him with burning eyes, which made Gawain feel a little hairy.
"Okay, okay, I know the joke is not funny, and you don't have to look at me like this. Is this some kind of joke court?"
Sampras couldn't hold it back, chuckled, and waved to Gawain.
"Just in time, come here, we have something to discuss with you and want to hear your opinion."
Gawain's eyes were full of confusion, but he still stood by the seat in front of Sampras, looked around, and soon noticed the tightness of the air, so he stopped joking, showed a serious expression, and listened.
listen.
Sampras briefly explained the ins and outs, including the two ideas and related concerns.
In fact, at this moment, they are on a flight from Shanghai to Paris. According to the original plan, Gao Wen will conduct intensive training in Paris for two weeks and then prepare for the Paris Masters. In other words, Peart's
plan.
Previously, judging from Gao Wen's status in the Imperial Open, he indeed lacked competitiveness and it was difficult to effectively compete for a seat in the year-end finals; therefore, Sampras and Tobias also agreed with Peart.
Paris Masters as a goal, and then formulate a training and competition plan.
However, from the Asian season to the European indoor season, things are indeed changing rapidly, and the results of each week may have many impacts.
On the one hand, Gao Wen reached the semi-finals of the Magic City Masters; on the other hand, Cilic, Nishikori Kei, Dimitrov, Ferrer, Raonic and other direct competitors all stopped in the Magic City.
In the second round, with one plus and one minus, Gao Wen immediately closed the gap on the championship standings.
Moreover, Simon, who made it to the finals in the Magic City, has been determined to miss the year-end finals, so there is a glimmer of light in front of Gawain.
That's when things became complicated.
With Gawain's current ranking and topicality, it shouldn't be a problem for Tobias to temporarily apply for a wild card for him, but they need to hurry up.
Therefore, they started in-depth discussions on the long-distance flight. As long as it was confirmed, Tobias could take action as soon as the plane landed.
However, these are all their thoughts and opinions as bystanders, and as a party involved, what does Gawain think?
