Chapter 1504 Butterfly Wings

In the blink of an eye, Gao Wen's mind was full of thoughts—

Since the new season, he has been trying to get rid of the fixed impression of the memory of his previous life, because his appearance has changed history, and the butterfly effect is producing a series of chain reactions. Change track.

If you continue to make judgments based on your familiar impressions, you may be the one who suffers the backlash in the end.

From Melbourne to Indian Wells and Miami, from Monte Carlo to Paris, in just half a season, Gao Wen has slowly entered the state, began to learn to live in the present, and accepted the reality of a parallel universe. All the familiar things have gone off track.

Not only his own fate, but the fate of others has also opened a new chapter, and everything is moving towards an unknown front.

But now, looking at Dimitrov in front of him, Gawain couldn't help but think back to the track he was familiar with. Everything seemed to be repeating itself, and it was even worse.

In the previous life, Dimitrov's 2015 season was also a disaster.

After entering the grass-court season, he first failed to defend his title in the second round at the Queen's Club, and then was upset in the third round of Wimbledon. After losing a huge amount of points, the world ranking once fell out of the top 30.

At the end of Wimbledon, Dimitrov first announced his breakup with Sharapova, and then parted ways with the meritorious coach Rashid to end the cooperation.

Disaster, total disaster, but it would be too young and naive to think that the disaster is over, when in fact, this is just the beginning.

After Wimbledon, Dimitrov slipped further into the abyss of hell, ups and downs in purgatory, and all competitions, big and small, were eliminated early. He was still able to win the game, but it was difficult to continue—

For a long time, Dimitrov couldn't win more than three consecutive games, and his good state was like a power outage from time to time.

Moreover, the number of first-round exits in different competitions has gradually increased. From the initial "accidental upset" to later "accustomed", Dimitrov's genius aura gradually dissipated, and he gradually withdrew from the top ranks and became a A mediocre member of the tour, never to see the light again.

In the two years from 2015 to 2016, the best results in the Grand Slam were only two events, the first and the last. The Australian Open in 2015 and the US Open in 2016 broke into the fourth round respectively, and all other events stopped. In the first week, the abysmal performance did not see any hope.

The world ranking even fell out of the top fifty.

Worse, during this time, Dimitrov seemed to have lost his mind, lost his judgment, went round and round hiring little-known coaches, changed coaches three times in two years, and Not to mention the coaching ability, even the basic running-in time is not enough.

So, it's a vicious circle.

Although Dimitrov is indeed talented, his psychological softness and strict self-demand have become the shackles that restrict his free play—

To some extent, it is exactly the same as Federer in his youth, even his weaknesses are exactly the same.

Later, Federer met Mirka.

Although Mirka is arrogant and picky and difficult to deal with, no one can deny that Mirka is the missing piece of the puzzle for Federer.

Mirka gave up her unsuccessful professional tennis career for Federer and became the woman standing behind Federer. She not only tolerated him, enlightened him and encouraged him, but also became the most important spiritual pillar in Federer's team, helping Federer complete his final transformation.

Federer himself admitted that without Mirka, there would be no later self.

Unfortunately, Dimitrov did not have such good luck—

In other words, Dimitrov also met Sharapova, his piece of the puzzle. Similarly, Dimitrov also proposed to Sharapova.

However, they failed to continue to support each other, that is, from here, Dimitrov embarked on another path.

This trough lasted for two full years, and it was not broken until 2017.

In 2017, Dimitrov first broke into the semi-finals at the Australian Open and ushered in a breakthrough; then he won the first Masters championship in his career in Cincinnati; , won the heaviest championship trophy in his career.

The timeline, back to the present—

Indeed, when Gao Wen, the butterfly flapped its wings, history had gone slightly off track, and miracles that never happened were happening one after another.

However, for Dimitrov, it seems that it is not a good thing.

The grass season has just started, and Dimitrov has already parted ways with Rashd. Leaving aside the importance of Rashd as a meritorious coach for the time being, this also means that in the case of the grass season facing heavy pressure to maintain points, Dimitrov will play alone without a coach.

In Gao Wen's view, the tennis coach is a special role—

In addition to collecting data, analyzing the situation, and formulating tactics before the game, they also play the role of backing and become a spiritual pillar.

In this way, players stand on the court and fight, but they can clearly know that they are not fighting alone.

But now, Dimitrov has no backing.

Originally, Gawain thought that history had changed, maybe Dimitrov would not repeat the same mistakes, maybe his little butterfly flapping its wings would bring about more positive effects, but why does it seem that things are getting worse now? Is it getting worse?

Not good!

So, what should we do next?

In fact, in Gao Wen’s view, Dimitrov’s ability has always been there, from talent to strength to ability, there is no problem~lightnovelpub.net~ It is always the demon that binds hands and feet, as long as you can break through the demon He can break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, not to mention whether Dimitrov can achieve Federer's achievements, but from the performance of the champion in the 2017 year-end finals, we know that he has the ability to beat any player—

Including the Big Four.

However, the key point is that competitive sports is such a thing. While fighting against opponents, the most important thing is to fight against yourself.

If they can't defeat their inner demons, if they can't control themselves, if they can't break through themselves, then they have already lost to themselves before losing to their opponents.

No one can help you with this matter.

So, what should Gao Wen do?

It was not difficult for Gawain to just say a few words of chicken soup for the soul to express comfort and encouragement, but he didn't think these words could give Dimitrov substantial help.

After all, they all understand those truths; but the cruelest part of life is that even if they have read all the truths, they still cannot answer all the questions.

In many cases, what they need is not a reason or an answer, maybe just a belief, and that is enough.
