Chapter 1062: Trafficker

Chapter 1063

"Grigor..."

The sound of the wind brought Gao Wen's call, and from a long distance away, he could feel the bright sunshine jumping between the words, and his mood was also lifted.

Dimitrov stopped in his advancing steps, waved his hand at Gawain, and responded with a smile, but did not move forward.

Seeing this, Tobias immediately understood, went straight forward, and said something when he passed by Dimitrov.

"You should trust Gao Wen's judgment."

Then, without stopping or waiting for a response, Tobias walked towards Gao Wen directly, and it could be seen from the back that it was a pleasure to reunite after a long absence.

Dimitrov still hesitated, and then Roger-Rasheed came up, "I think you should trust your own judgment."

Rashid, Dimitrov's current coach.

The Australian, who had a lackluster career as a professional tennis player and lacked talent, spent most of his time in Challenger circles.

However, as a professional coach, he has a unique insight and is good at training young players who are thriving and guiding them to complete their transformation.

After the millennium, Rashid has trained Hewitt, Monfils and Tsonga three players.

Among them, Monfils and Tsonga are very typical. Before hiring Rashid, both players had just entered the top 100 seedlings in the world. Become the top ten players in the world.

In 2013, Dimitrov, who was just a fledgling, hired Rashid as a coach, and also wrote the same development trajectory, ushering in a qualitative change.

Of course, no one is perfect, and everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Rashid's advantage lies in tapping the potential of young players, but he is not good at facing difficulties and breaking through bottlenecks to the next level.

Perhaps part of the reason is Rashid's own bottleneck. He has not been able to reach the top of the pyramid in his career, so he has no way of prying into the mysteries of another realm.

This is the case from Monfils to Tsonga. After they entered the top ten in the world, facing the bottleneck of further breakthroughs, Rashid failed to give better suggestions, and finally parted ways.

Now Dimitrov and Rashid are in the same situation again, everything seems familiar.

Dimitrov turned to look at Rashid, "I don't think I should be Gawain's burden."

Rashid shrugged, "Then you shouldn't agree to doubles. John is your manager, but he's not just your manager."

Obviously, such a simple sentence has a lot of meaning.

It seems that there should be some differences of opinion between Tobias and Rashid.

Dimitrov was a little silent and didn't respond. For a moment, he couldn't see what he was thinking.

While speaking, Gao Wen had already come up to greet him, raised his right hand with a smile, and gave a high-five greeting.

"Hey, Gregor, why didn't you tell me in advance that the wind direction is so unpredictable here? It's like playing on Saturn. Same in Miami?"

"...No, it's not like this in Miami." Dimitrov's response was a little slow, and he was a little distracted, but he quickly recovered, "Miami is also windy, but only in bursts, as long as you wait patiently. In the past, everything just went back to normal, it's completely different from here."

"Wait, I thought you lived in Los Angeles, so you should be more used to it?" After a while, Dimitrov also remembered this.

Gao Wen immediately nervously made a movement of zipping his mouth shut, looked left and right, made a furtive expression, and lowered his voice.

"Shh, this is a secret, don't tell anyone, otherwise if I perform too badly here, I will wear a mask next time I go back to school to practice."

His face is full of mystery, but his mouth is full of nonsense.

Dimitrov was immediately amused.

Gao Wen's brows and eyes also relaxed.

"You have been training here for a few days, how are you adapting? I heard that compared with last year's situation, the speed of the ball seems to be slower?"

"I've heard of it too, but I think it's more of a psychological hint. Personally, I think the ball speed is about the same, and there is no obvious change."

"I have heard that Indian Wells is different. I thought I was mentally prepared, but now it seems that I am still too young."

"Haha, you are indeed young. In the tour, among the top 100 in the world, you are the youngest ones, right?"

"Are you envious? If you are envious, you lose. There is nothing you can do except to reincarnate."

"Haha. Hahaha!"

"Brother, but to be honest, I really need a little time in the doubles game to find the ball, how about it, what do you think?"

You come and go, chatting and laughing happily, and the atmosphere is relaxed after meeting each other.

Unknowingly, Dimitrov's tense shoulders seemed to relax a little, and then Gawain brought up the topic very naturally and easily.

"OK."

Before he knew it, Dimitrov had blurted out his promise.

Rashid, who was standing behind, had a slight astonishment on his face, because it was so unexpected that it was difficult to hide it for a while, and he almost wanted to stop it.

Tobias noticed Rashid's expression out of the corner of his eye, and interjected appropriately, "It seems that the female fans in California are going to feast their eyes."

Gawain turned to look at Tobias, "So, is this what it feels like to be David Beckham?"

Obviously has strength on the court, but people are always the first to notice the appearance, so that they have tried to prove themselves on the court throughout their careers.

In fact, Dimitrov is the same. It doesn't feel good to be treated as a "vase".

So, what about Gao Wen?

"Hmm..." Gao Wen slightly lifted his chin, and savored it carefully, "It feels pretty good. From today onwards, I will be David Beckham Jr."

One second, two seconds—

There was a roar of laughter.

Everyone clapped their hands and laughed~lightnovelpub.net~ I am afraid that only Rashid was the only exception. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he forced a smile.

Dimitrov also noticed Rashid's expression, and gave him an apologetic look, and he didn't know why he agreed.

Amidst the laughter, Gawain looked at Dimitrov again, "Grigor, you don't think that I just hired you to play doubles just to take care of you?"

Dimitrov was a little embarrassed when his inner thoughts were seen through, and he muttered to himself not knowing how to respond.

Gao Wen smiled again, "I need to get used to the venue, this is sincere, if you refuse, Milos asked me just now, I should turn around and find another partner."

"What's more, Gregor, my friend, is used when I need it. Otherwise, I spend so much time and energy maintaining friendship, but I can't find supporters at critical moments. It's not worth it."

It was a fallacious theory, but when Gao Wen said it, it seemed very convincing.

Dimitrov was dumbfounded, but he still couldn't hold back in the end. He nodded slightly and agreed in a ignorant manner, but why did he feel like he was being lured into a ditch?
