A second ago, the locker room was bustling and noisy, everyone was busy doing their own thing.
In the next second, all eyes were focused, and one or two people stared at the scene in front of them in stunned silence.
Kyrgios couldn't believe his ears and stared at Wawrinka with wide eyes, full of anger and words were about to burst out.
But Wawrinka didn't care at all. He puffed up his chest and advanced instead of retreating. He even took a small step forward, as if he was rolling up his sleeves and about to punch.
"Stan!"
Another voice broke the calm, interrupting the atmosphere just in time before Kyrgios could speak, and the attention of the whole audience was focused on it.
It's Federer.
Federer did not step forward, but stood in the middle of the aisle and called out.
"Stan Gawain?"
"everything fine?"
Wawrinka did not answer Federer immediately, but diverted his attention, ignoring the angry Kyrgios, looked at Gawain, and asked with his eyes:
How are you?
Gawain felt a little warm in his heart and smiled at Wawrinka, saying that he was fine.
Wawrinka was still a little worried, so he checked with his eyes again, and looked at the raised corners of Gawain's mouth, and then he felt relieved.
"Roger, it's okay, it's just too noisy."
Wawrinka turned to look around and spoke loudly to the players in the locker room.
"Sorry, I scared everyone."
A simple sentence, a bit dry, without explaining the ins and outs to excuse myself, without humor to resolve the embarrassment, just a gesture with the jaw.
That's all.
Then, Wawrinka looked at Kyrgios again, straight into those blazing eyes, and without caring at all, he looked away and patted Gawain on the shoulder.
"I'm going to practice for a while. Let's do some warm-up batting practice before the game, shall we?"
In order to prepare for an official game, warm-up training should be gradual.
First, they will conduct pre-match batting training on the training ground, which is equivalent to a simple practice match.
Secondly, they will arrive at the competition venue and warm up the muscles of various parts of the body. The whole training is very detailed.
Finally, they will go to the competition gym to perform aerobic training on equipment such as bicycles, rowing machines, or treadmills to maintain muscle vitality.
Everything is programmed.
It is precisely because of this that once an unexpected situation occurs, such as the time of the previous game being longer than expected, or the game being delayed due to weather, then the warm-up must be started from the beginning, meticulously, not only to find the game state, but also to avoid accidents.
Injuries.
Gao Wen's game is in the afternoon, and you need to wait patiently for the first three games to end before you can play.
Wawrinka's match is tomorrow.
Now, Wawrinka offered to help Gawain warm up, that is to say, pre-match batting training, but it was actually a warning to Kyrgios and others, and conveyed to Gawain that he would wait outside to avoid any unexpected situations.
.
It was a short sentence, but it was both rough and subtle, making Gawain feel warm again.
Gawain smiled at Wawrinka and said, "Okay, see you later."
Wawrinka didn't say anything more, turned around and took steps towards Federer, who was not far away.
The gazes of the surrounding people receded like a tide, and the turbulent heat wave in the air slowly settled down, with only the rustling sound continuing to surge.
Gawain thought to himself, great, now it's their turn to settle the score.
But this time, Kyrgios once again took the lead, with a cruel smile on his lips, clenching his fists, and making a sound in his joints:
"What should I do? Your protector has left?"
tread.
Kyrgios obviously had no intention of settling the matter. He took advantage of Gawain's turning back and made a sneak attack, closing the distance very suddenly and unexpectedly.
Fist, coming towards the face.
Where is Gawain?
A flash!
A side step to dodge, like a boxer, using flexible steps to dodge and defend in a space the size of a palm, and then punch.
One kick!
He stepped straight forward, almost grazing Kyrgios's right fist and passed it by. Then he used his right hand to push away Kyrgios's useless fist and leg. The next second, his left fist was already fiercely aimed at Kyrgios.
Kyrgios's cheek swung like a heavy hammer.
"ah!"
Kyrgios held his head with both hands and made a defensive posture, but before he realized it, he had already stepped back and dodged in chaotic steps.
But...the imaginary punch did not fall.
Kyrgios opened his eyes and took a look, only to find that Gawain's fist braked suddenly at the last moment, pulled back, and controlled himself.
What happened to him?
At this moment, Kyrgios realized his embarrassing and obscene posture.
In an instant, he turned from embarrassment to anger, and his anger directly burned away all his reason.
Curses and swear words could no longer be controlled and they continued to burst out.
Kyrgios struggled to move forward, shouting "Don't stop me/I'm going to kill you", but after taking a step he realized that no one was stopping him.
Now, it's embarrassing.
Fortunately, Gross reacted in time and immediately grabbed Kyrgios's left hand, thus saving the scuffle that almost turned into a comedy.
Gawain tried his best but still couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth that slightly raised. He watched Kogkinakis slow down for a moment before joining Gross, holding Kyrgios together, and stopped a fight that was not going to happen at all.
There will be a fight, and then quietly waiting for Kyrgios to vent his anger.
In fact, the time was much shorter than imagined, much, much, much more, Kyrgios... was a bit "fast".
Gawain showed a very serious and regretful expression, and shook his head gently.
"Is your vocabulary too small? It's just those few words that you keep turning over and over again. Why don't you update your vocabulary? You can also feel free to curse."
Kyrgios:…
Which is tolerable and intolerable?
This time, Kyrgios really lost control. He opened the restraints of Gross and Kogkinakis and rushed towards Gawain with a big stride.
But he never expected that Gawain would advance instead of retreating.
tread!
One step!
Gawain also faced him head-on. He saw that his right shoulder and the opponent's left shoulder were about to collide violently, but Gawain would not risk the risk of injury.
One step back, one four-two move, the right shoulder stepped aside, the right hand went around Kyrgios' back, and pushed forward. Kyrgios immediately staggered out with the force of his forward thrust.
"ah!"
Seeing that Kyrgios was about to hit the wall, Kogkinakis and Gross both screamed in surprise, but Gawain grabbed Kyrgios's left hand to complete the braking, and twisted Kyrgios' arm with a back-cut movement.
come over.
At the same time, Gawain took a step forward, approached Kyrgios's ear, and used a medium voice, as if he was telling Kyrgios a secret alone but could be heard by everyone.
"Nick, why are you so angry? Is it because you slept with Tannathy's girlfriend and you are worried about being discovered by him?"
