Match Point

Chapter 1504: Spirit

Looking at Dimitrov in front of him, Gao Wen couldn't help thinking of Zhang Shuai.

In Melbourne at the beginning of the year, Gao Wen and Zhang Shuai had a practice game, and they had a brief conversation at that time.

In fact, Zhang Shuai already has the ability and strength, but he has been unable to break through the shackles of the first round of the Grand Slam. In addition to signing luck, he is more of a demon. He often has doubts at critical moments and does not believe that he can win. The next game, don't believe that you can execute perfectly.

At the Australian Open, Zhang Shuai lost to the tough Kornet.

At the French Open, Zhang Shuai lost to No. 12 seed K-Pliskova again.

Stopped the first round of the Grand Slam for the fourteenth consecutive time.

Fourteen times!

This number is too exaggerated and ridiculous. It seems unbelievable to outsiders, but it is real in the competitive sports arena.

In the past, Gao Wen also believed in the inspirational power of the spirit. Since he can make a breakthrough and even reach the championship, other players can do the same; but the reality is often much more complicated. Zhang Ze successfully broke through the shackles of the first round of the Grand Slam. However, Zhang Shuai is still bound by the demon.

Things must vary from person to person.

Dimitrov, too.

In a short period of time, Gao Wen had thousands of thoughts in his mind, but they were fleeting, and it was only a moment.

Then, looking at Dimitrov again, his eyes became firmer, and he stopped laughing, "Grigor, I trust your judgment."

Dimitrov was slightly taken aback, not knowing why, he raised his head and looked at Gawain.

Gawain gave Dimitrov a smile in response with firm eyes, but did not explain too much, "I trust your judgment and your choice."

In fact, Dimitrov is a kind-hearted character, and he is a little indecisive, lacking a little aggressiveness, which is also reflected in his game; but, he is also a character who pursues perfection. Anticipation, you will start to question yourself.

Gao Wen noticed this when playing doubles in Monte Carlo.

But now Gao Wen realizes that maybe, compared to chicken soup for the soul or psychological advice, it is better to give Dimitrov some trust from the beginning of words to the implementation of actions, so that Dimitrov can start to build confidence and believe in his own choice , accepting my own indecision—

Sometimes, even if some choices are not so fast and certain, there is no harm in hesitating a little bit.

A belief, hoping to take root and sprout slowly, and finally build Dimitrov's confidence step by step.

"So, ready? Solo grass season, wow, this should be very exciting."

Immediately afterwards, Gawain made a joke, and the atmosphere of a little sincerity relaxed again, and Dimitrov couldn't help laughing.

"Since this is the case, then the training must keep up. Just in time, I need a training partner."

Dimitrov looked down at the equipment bag he hadn't had time to put down, and stared at Gawain dumbfounded: I haven't had time to warm up yet.

Stuttering, Dimitrov's head could not keep up with Gawain, and he blurted out, "Are you talking about the basic batting training? But, why are you doing these trainings? I can't remember myself When was the last time you did basic hitting drills?"

Next to it, a voice came out, cutting into the words of Gawain and Dimitrov.

"So, you're saying, you're good enough that you don't need these basic training?"

Dimitrov was a little embarrassed, he could hear the slight sarcasm in the words, but he couldn't digest it quickly, and the words couldn't keep up, "I mean, these basic trainings have been imprinted in our bones, so we should be more Focus more on what you are not good at, or a combination of different tactics..."

"Break your own limit, and then improve to a higher level... blah blah, that's what you mean, right?" This time, he directly interrupted Dimitrov's words, following Dimitrov's words After the supplementary content is completed, the sarcasm and disdain hidden in it become more obvious.

The scene is a little stiff.

Gao Wen also didn't expect the direction of the matter: What's going on?

"Peter..." Gawain called out.

The one who just intervened in the conversation was none other than Sampras, with a dark face, and he could tell he was in a bad mood at first sight, as if someone owed money and didn't pay it back.

Hearing Gawain's call, Sampras turned his head and glanced at Gawain, but that look clearly restrained—

Such Sampras was very, very rare, at least in Gao Wen's memory, it was the first time.

Sampras did not continue the conversation with Gawain, but only showed a half-hearted smile, his eyes lightly signaled Gawain to rest assured, and then turned to look at Dimitrov, "Roger told you these yes, right?"

Gao Wen was thoughtful, and could vaguely sense Sampras' intentions, but he didn't stop him after all.

Sampras also showed a smile to Dimitrov, but there was no smile in his eyes, but a little indifference, with a condescending scrutiny.

"He is your coach, you should trust his advice, there is no doubt about it; but if you encounter a bottleneck, he still gives the same advice for several months in a row, does not want to make progress, and even blames the reason for not being able to break through the bottleneck On you, you should start wondering if he's reached the limit of what he can do."

From Indian Wells to Miami, from Monte Carlo to Paris, Sampras saw all the small moves behind Rashd.

Didn't express any opinions, that's from the pride of Sampras, he didn't plan to express opinions everywhere, and he didn't plan to arrange others behind his back.

But now, now that Dimitrov has come to his senses and made the right choice, he doesn't mind giving Dimitrov some pointers. After all, he also remembers the friendship between Dimitrov and Gawain throughout the clay court season. In mind; as for whether Dimitrov appreciates it, it is not his business~lightnovelpub.net~ After finishing speaking, Sampras ignored Dimitrov and looked at Gawain with a dark face. .

"The rest time has passed, are you still going to continue to be lazy?"

Gao Wen: @#%&!

be lazy?

Wrong, really wrong.

Gao Wen silently expressed strong protest with his lips, but he did not slow down in his actions. He picked up the racket and returned to the field, ready to continue training.

Dimitrov, who was left out in the cold in a blink of an eye, was slightly taken aback, and carefully chewed on Sampras' words. Although he couldn't figure it out for a while, there seemed to be more hidden behind those twists and turns. information, but he also realized that now is not the best time to think carefully.

Snapped!

Dimitrov immediately dropped his equipment bag, quickly took out the racket and headband from it, and before he even had time to tie the headband, he hurriedly walked towards the training ground, a little anxiously Looking at Gao Wen and Agassi who had returned to the training ground, they trotted all the way to Agassi's side, with flattering smiles on their faces.

"Andre, I'm here, and I will conduct basic batting training with Gao Wen."
