Gulu, Gulu—

Gravity pulled his body down heavily, and Gao Wen used his inertia to roll, and subconsciously prepared to stand up and continue the duel for the next shot.

It took half a beat a little slower before the body lagged behind the brain to realize that the last volley in front of the net did not pass the net, and ended the game in such a way.

The twelfth match point, after all, still failed to create another miracle.

Turning over, the knees that were about to stand up became weak, and fell to the ground again.

Panting.

Sweating.

Gao Wen looked down at his slightly trembling knees and calves, and then turned his head to see the final score on the scoreboard screen.

"6:7", "6:4", "6:4", "5:7", "13:11".

Federer is at the front and Gawain is at the back.

The numbers, so clear, accurately recorded the whole game, and then the sense of reality came to my heart, and my brain went blank without any thoughts.

it's over.

After all, it's over.

Gu Xiao stood there in a daze, but couldn't help but feel his heart surge—

Because Gao Wen proved with practical actions:

Competitive sports is far more than that about winning or losing, just like life, there can be more about life and death.

Everyone is the same. From the moment of birth, the end of life is already doomed. Every day and every moment is a process towards the end. In this way, what is the meaning of life?

Life is not just living towards death, but exploring width and depth within a limited length, firmly grasping every moment, and burning all energy.

Maybe, you can explore the mysteries of nature and the universe; maybe, you can explore your own limits and hobbies; maybe, you can explore the mystery and depth of life; maybe, you can explore the entanglement of reason and emotion; maybe, you can find the soul at the artistic level. Resonance and extension.

Some people live a hundred years old but just linger on; some people die young but shine brightly.

"Meaning" obviously has infinite possibilities.

Like now.

Two hours of hard work and struggle, two hours of confrontation and impact, and two hours of burning and releasing pushed the match that might have ended in the fourth set to a new level. Pour all your energy without reservation and fight to the end.

In the end, Gao Wen was still unable to rewrite—
