Chapter 1027: travel light

Chapter 1028

"Ugh!"

Gao Wen stretched a big lazy waist, his whole body stretched out, but the feeling was not enough, so he stood up again, in his own position, stretched his limbs briefly, placed himself in the sky, and had the illusion of floating in mid-air , The soles of the feet are not always stepped on firmly enough.

"How do you feel? Does the jet lag matter?" Pelt's concerned voice came from next to his ear.

Gao Wen didn't answer immediately.

Turn left, bang.

Turn right, bang.

The sound of the joints was really scary, and it was even more scary when matched with Gao Wen's smile, but the brightness between Gao Wen's brows was extraordinarily brisk.

"It's okay, it's not the first time that I have participated in consecutive competitions and traveled around. I'm not that delicate."

"In fact, I feel very light now, as light as a swallow, is this normal?"

As he said that, Gao Wen made a diving preparation like a 10-meter platform diver, as if he was about to skydive.

That naughty appearance made Pelt a little helpless. He is a humorless person, and he doesn't know how to respond, so he still said seriously.

"You know, I'm worried about more than that."

Gao Wen nodded again and again, "I know I know, but, Martin, if you are influenced by them, their goal will be achieved, understand?"

Pelt opened his mouth, hesitant to speak, but in the end, he didn't continue, because this was not something he was good at. The corners of his mouth moved slightly, showing a little helplessness, and then said something lightly.

"Going out for the country still feels different. It's a good thing to stay positive."

The schedule of the Davis Cup is really incompetent—

Immediately behind Dubai, right in front of Indian Wells, is simply a player traveling around the world.

But no one can deny that players do want to represent their country, and it's the only team event in tennis.

Not only Gao Wen, Djokovic, Murray and other top players have also embarked on the journey of the Davis Cup, and the top ten in the world are all like this.

The only exception should be Federer and Wawrinka, who both missed Switzerland's first round match in the world group this year.

Obviously, Gao Wen is very, very looking forward to the Davis Cup.

However, Pelt was a little worried.

The main reason is that because of the fanning and gloating news media in the past two days, countless pressures have been piled on Gao Wen's shoulders layer by layer.

The Davis Cup is even worse—

Undoubtedly, as the current world No. 3 and the winner of the last two Grand Slams, people expect Gao Wen to show a dominant performance.

It's like the position of Federer to Switzerland, Djokovic to Serbia, and Kei Nishikori to Neon.

Unlike Australia, Spain, and the United States, which are traditional tennis powers, there are a lot of talents, and singles and doubles are flying together. There is more than one player in the top 100 in the world, and they can even all rank in the top 30. However, the top players in these countries are very limited. , often just one or two.

This also means that all hope, all the burdens, all the attention, all the pressure are all piled up on the leaders, as if the whole of Argentina is expecting Messi to lead the team to the World Cup championship with one against ten. The performance of the team is studied under the microscope—

Well, that's still not good enough; bad, it's a mass attack and criticism.

In a trance, people completely forgot that "team competition" means the strength of the team is needed. Football needs to rely on the unity of eleven people; and tennis team competition is no exception.

No matter how good the performance of the leader is, if the teammates can't do it, then they can't do it. One person can't carry the whole team forward after all.

This is the case in Serbia. Djokovic not only participated in two singles, but also participated in a doubles. He almost shouldered all the competitions. However, Serbia has only won the Davis Cup once in these years.

In real life in competitive sports, it is not possible to come back by relying on a lone hero.

Now, Gao Wen is also facing the same situation—

Judging from the media's bragging and showing off, it seems that with Gao Wen, China's men's tennis has been reborn and has become a top competitive team, let alone the Davis Cup champion, but everyone seems to think that they leave the regional group It is a matter of course to advance to the world group.

Gao Wen hasn't played a single game in the Davis Cup yet, yet he seems to have become a superhero.

Pressure, piled up layer by layer.

During the recent period, on the surface, it seems that there are only some small winds and waves, but in Pelt's view, this is another severe test of Gao Wen's career.

Pelt knew that Gao Wen had a tenacious and strong will, and would not be easily knocked down, but it was impossible not to worry, because he cared and cared, so he couldn't help worrying about gains and losses, worrying, even though he was hiding behind his poker face, It is still inevitable that it will leak out.

This trip to Auckland, Sampras did not accompany, Tobias did not fly over, only Pelt and the new masseur Gary - Hamilton (Gary-Hamilton) accompanied.

Because the Davis Cup is a competition for the national team, and because China's tennis system is somewhat different after all, they are worried about Gao Wen's position in the national team:

She is the youngest and has the lowest qualifications, but has the most aura and status.

Just look at Messi.

When Messi was just born, there were several rumors in the news that Messi was excluded in the locker room in Argentina. Of course, it is true or false, and the situation after the locker room is closed, outsiders have no way of knowing , but people's mentality and psychology are so subtle and unpredictable.

Although tennis is an individual sport, even if it is the Davis Cup, when they are on the court, they still fight on their own, but is it really that simple?

With Gao Wen's arrival, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com broke the balance in the Huaxia team, wouldn't it really trigger a chain reaction? In the locker room, is it true that there will be no exclusion?

All of these are unknown.

If Gao Wen led a large team forward and entered the resident with bustling crowds, would there be a sharp contrast? Will it cause dissatisfaction and controversy among other senior players? Will it trigger locker room conflict?

After all, for a long time, Gao Wen has been drifting away, training alone, and has little contact with other players in his hometown, let alone friendship.

Everything is unpredictable.

For this reason, Sampras and Pelt have also discussed that each national team's Davis Cup team has its own team leader, which can be regarded as half of the coach, and this is a national competition, it is best not to accompany the individual team to avoid Conflict between competition guidance and training programs, they had better avoid suspicion.

But they had to ensure Gao Wen's physical condition and daily training, so they finally decided to go with Pelt and Hamilton.

Pelt must shoulder heavy responsibilities, Gawain can go into battle lightly, but he must be on high alert—

Why did he have the illusion that he was starting to lose his hair?
