Chapter 1793 Seek Kindness and Gain Kindness
"Gaowen, you just mentioned more than once that you are not considering defending your title for the time being. Focus on the present and your first-round opponent."
"So, how do you feel about your first-round opponent?"
"In the first round, you are about to face the German player Alexander Zverev, who advanced from the qualifying round to the main draw. He is also the youngest player at this year's US Open."
"In an interview with the German media before the game, Sasha said, sorry, please allow me to quote the original words:
‘I don’t mean to be arrogant, but I think I can beat him’. "
In order to show that he was fair and objective, the reporter did not casually fabricate rumors or take quotes out of context. He also took out his mobile phone and read the news word for word.
At the same time, you can also see that other reporters on the scene nodded in agreement. These were Zverev's original words. They did not tamper with or delete them.
Gawain raised his chin slightly, showing a meaningful expression, and listened carefully, without rushing to respond.
The reporter put the phone back into his pocket, looked at Gawain again, and then added.
"You and Sasha fought once, in Miami."
The meaning behind the words is that Gawain is afraid that he will forget who this "nobody" is.
You can detect the sullen expressions of some reporters in the press conference hall. If Gao Wen said "Who" at this time, it would be really exciting and interesting.
Gawain noticed the subtle changes in the atmosphere of the scene, and the smile in his eyes flickered quietly.
At this time, Gawain finally opened his mouth to answer the question.
"Of course, I remember that he is a very good player with talent, ability and strength. I believe that he is in a stage of rapid growth. This time we meet again and compete again, this is a brand new game. I need to do my best to compete with him. go."
Blah blah blah...
The reporters were a little disappointed. The Gawain in front of them had no edge at all, and his polite remarks were really drowsy.
However, Gawain was not affected and the words continued.
"To be very honest, the Miami game was probably one of the luckiest games of my career, and playing against Sasha again is definitely a challenge and I hope I can be a little more confident and I hope I can make the most of my experience. .”
"I don't mean to be arrogant, but I think I can beat him."
on site:……
One second, two seconds——
Then, there was thunderous applause.
The same sentence was completely copied and pasted. It was spoken with arrogance and arrogance from Zverev, and it sounded sharp to the ears.
It is precisely because of the previous sentence, "I don't mean to be arrogant", that it reveals Zverev's arrogance. It is not the vigor of a young man, nor the fighting spirit full of expectations for the game. It is pure arrogance, revealing something deep in his heart. He is so condescending that his words cannot hide it at all.
But when Gao Wen said it, it was with a kind of ridicule and ridicule, and he was low-key and confident. He was hiding things, laughing and scolding, learning from each other, and the press conference room immediately became a talk show scene, once again demonstrating Gao Wen's skills. Humor and wisdom, applause burst out spontaneously.
After all, Gawain does not have arrogance, and he can indeed defeat Zverev.
In fact, objectively speaking, compared with Miami, Zverev has restrained himself a lot. After all, he was severely educated at the end of Miami. This time he came to the US Open and faced Gawain again. Between words, Already with some caution.
But the point is that little Zverev is a proud man. He has heard countless praises since the training period. Those pride and self-confidence, those condescending pride and showoff have long been ingrained in the bone marrow. Even if he enters the professional arena and is beaten by the top Masters should teach you a lesson, "age" can also be used as an excuse——
The youngest player in the ATP top 100, and the youngest player on the main draw list from Wimbledon to Flushing.
Under these auras, his arrogance and arrogance could not truly be restrained.
In fact, even years later, Zverev Jr. is still the same.
But now——
Zverev Jr. is eighteen years old and Gawain is nineteen, but what has Gawain achieved, and where is Zverev Jr. on the tour?
The same sentence, spoken by two players, has completely different effects.
Especially in the context of the whole speech, Gawain showed modesty, prudentness, low-key and restrainedness, and the edge of confidence and fighting spirit was not revealed.
Naturally, all the reporters in the press conference room became Gao Wen's supporters.
Between the applause and whistles, there are reporters who continue to fan the flames, fearing that the world will not be in chaos.
"Gawain, then this meeting is also the 'highest consumption'?"
Behind the cautious words lies unbearable excitement and excitement, but could Gawain be fooled?
Of course it’s impossible——
In Grand Slam tournaments, there is a best-of-five-set system. No player firmly believes that he can defeat his opponent by losing only two games, because this means that one set must be cleared to give away eggs, even if the Big Four at their peak face the world's top 300 players. Players outside the league would not dare to boast like this.
First, there are many difficulties. After all, the men’s serve is very strong. “As much as I imagined, little Zverev’s first serve is now very mature.
Second, it is unnecessary. Losing only two games in the game means that the concentration is tight throughout the whole process. From the beginning to the end, it is still difficult, and the consumption of physical and energy is incredible, which directly disrupts the entire game. The follow-up plan and overall layout of the two-week Grand Slam event.
How could Gao Wen disrupt his entire US Open plan just because of a little Zverev and a little verbal dispute, and this is also when his return from injury is uncertain?
Just think about it with your toes and you'll know it's impossible.
"Maximum consumption" is just a gimmick and a kind of psychological warfare.
The last time Miami succeeded, even Gao Wen was surprised. Miraculously, he was not slapped in the face; but now, it is absolutely impossible for Gao Wen to let himself fall into the same situation again.
"No. I don't think so."
Decisively and decisively——
The press conference hall was slightly stunned. The reporters also expected that given Gao Wen's intelligence, they would not be fooled, but they did not expect Gao Wen to be so decisive.
"Let's save some face for each other."
It's a pun, but it also seems meaningful.
On the surface, Gawain is saving face for himself, but the deeper meaning of his words is:
First of all, he saved Zverev's face. He can actually achieve the "highest consumption", but he did not want to hurt the confidence and pride of young people.
Secondly, he has already proved it once in Miami, there is no need for a second time, otherwise it will be a humiliation.
Gawain was retreating in order to advance, and he slapped little Zverev hard again without saying a word, but the really important thing is:
Next, no matter how little Zverev responds, the only result is that he humiliates himself, and there is no need for Gawain to continue talking.
Perhaps, the only way Zverev can prove himself is to defeat Gawain and prove himself with his performance on the court.
This has always been the only law of competitive sports. Regardless of grudges or emotions, strength speaks for itself in everything.
So, little Zverev is... asking for kindness and getting kindness, asking for a hammer and getting a hammer?
