Chapter 1668 Off-Field Friendship

——"Gao Wen, what is it like to beat Murray on Center Court?"

It is conceivable that another storm awaits at the post-match press conference, but for Gao Wen, this is an honor and a pleasure:

No matter how difficult it is, it won't be as difficult as facing two consecutive match points against Murray at Wimbledon's Center Court.

"Believe me, it's not easy."

"But I would like to go through it again, from the first point to the last point. Of course, if I can win in three sets, I will not refuse..."

Confident, straightforward, honest, even too honest, so much so that when Gao Wen made a joke in the second half of the sentence, the reporters at the scene were not sure whether they should laugh or not. They looked at each other with only one thought in their eyes:

Are all young people today so direct? Forget Kyrgios, Gawain does the same, just rub salt into Murray's wounds?

"I mean, this is Wimbledon, he's Andy Murray and we're playing a game like this on Center Court and it's just an amazing experience and for me, everything is new and everything is new. Vivid, every minute of the game was a special experience.”

“Here, I need to face a great player, I need to face a group of excellent spectators, and at the same time, I am in the most historical and traditional venue in the world, looking back at the time in 2015. Experience the history of the sport over the past hundred years.”

"I mean it and no one should miss it."

I see!

The reporters suddenly realized that after a brief period of shock and surprise, they could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. After reacting, they had to sigh. As expected of Gawain, he could easily control the atmosphere and rhythm even when facing reporters. control it.

"Of course, winning is the cherry on the cake. I love it."

Hahaha!

Laughing, bursting.

This expressive technique of exalting and then suppressing turned a potentially dangerous or boring question into a flower, and the press conference hall burst into laughter.

Of course, this is still not over; but it is not sure whether it is because of Murray's relationship, or because of the etiquette shown by Gao Wen at Wimbledon this year, or because Gao Wen used practical actions to win the recognition of reporters after writing history again. You can clearly feel the intimacy of the atmosphere.

There was no pushiness or hounding; moreover, the questions revolved entirely around the game, which was definitely something new.

"Gawain, may I ask, what were you thinking when you faced match point in the fourth set, and how did you turn the situation around? What were you thinking about in the tie-break in the fourth set and when you got match point in the fifth set? , always give more exciting and stronger performances in key points, how do you do it?"

"Enjoy the game."

Gawain didn't hesitate and gave an answer directly, and then the corners of his mouth raised.

"I know, this answer is boring, like the answer given by Chicken Soup for the Soul, but in fact, this is what I do when I compete."

"Today's game was very, very close. Andy didn't give me too many opportunities. The whole game was consistent throughout; but at the same time, I think I performed well. I showed my best level against Andy and everything was in accordance with the game. The tactical layout was carried out, so I have no regrets.”

"When I faced match point in the fourth set, and when I got match point in the fifth set, it was actually the same for me."

"I believe that in such a close game, it will not be a surprise who wins in the end. I have no regrets or regrets. It just depends on the performance of the key points. Everything is possible, so whether it is facing a match point or winning a At match point, I only had one thought."

"Enjoy the game, don't give up halfway, keep fighting throughout, that's what it's all about. I can accept any result."

"Oh, what I just said sounded really arrogant and arrogant. Maybe I should do it again."

As he spoke, Gawain began to look at the sky and talk to himself. His last sigh successfully made the entire press conference hall burst into laughter.

Amid laughter, Gawain continued.

"The game is over. I am sitting here as the winner. Anything I say is like showing off. If the result of the game was different, maybe my attitude and words would be different."

"But personally, what I'm looking forward to is that even if I lose, I hope I can say what I just said, so that's what I did during the game and enjoy it."

At the scene, there was some sparse applause. Not everyone, but it could be seen that some reporters liked Gao Wen's response very much.

Not only Chinese and Asian journalists, but also British journalists are no exception. The reporters from The Times have set an example.

"Gawain, this game is not easy for Andy or the British fans. After the game, Andy experienced a moment of turbulent emotions, which was obviously not easy to accept. You stayed at the scene at that time, and I applauded Andy, what did you say to Andy afterwards?”

"ha."

Gawain chuckled, and then waved his hand gently.

"It's nothing special. It's just admiration from one player to another player. I think you should not forget that I am a participant in this game, so I know it better than anyone else. Despite the hardships and difficulties, I have nothing but admiration and admiration.”

"So, when I see Andy, it's actually equivalent to seeing myself."

"I just made some basic moves."

Here, Gawain responded in a humble and low-key manner.

On the other side, Murray gave Gauvin the highest praise at the press conference.

"I like Gawain, and I am also grateful to Gawain."

"When I saw Gao Wen, I knew that he was the same as me. We both love this game and give everything we have in this game."

"He understood how I felt, not as a winner looking at a loser, but as one player looking at another player."

"Actually, at that moment, I was shaken. I didn't want to lose here. I hated losing here. But after failing to reach the top eight here for two consecutive years, I began to doubt myself, my passion and doubt for this sport. What it means to be a player, it’s not easy.”

Even in the post-match press conference, one can still feel Murray's struggle, with a hint of pain in his expression——

It was not losing to the other Big Three, but losing to two young players, Dimitrov last year and Gao Wen this year. It was really a blow to lose consecutively.

"Then Gawain appeared there."

"I sincerely express my gratitude. Whether as a professional player or as an ordinary person, Gao Wen is a partner worthy of deep friendship. Maybe in the future you can see me appearing on Gao Wen's training ground. Anyway, you should all No longer a stranger.”

Is this self-deprecating?

Following the other three giants, Murray began to become Gao Wen's training partner again?

Sure enough, Murray is still Murray, and he will not lose his sense of humor even in the trough. His ability to be funny amidst seriousness is truly unique.
