"Gao Wen, you mentioned more than once that you don't think about defending the title for the time being, and focus on your immediate opponents in the first round."

"So, how do you feel about your first-round opponent?"

"In the first round, you will face Alexander Zverev, a German player who broke through the qualifying round and advanced to the main draw. He is also the youngest player at this year's US Open."

"When interviewed by the German media before the game, Sasha said, sorry, please allow me to quote the original words:

'I don't mean it to be arrogant, but I think I can beat him'. "

In order to show his impartiality and objectivity, the reporter did not casually fabricate rumors or take them out of context. He also took out his mobile phone and read the news word by word.

At the same time, it can also be seen that other reporters at the scene nodded in agreement. These are the original words of Zverev Jr., and they did not modify or delete them.

Gao Wen raised his jaw slightly, showing a meaningful expression, and listened carefully, without rushing to respond.

The reporter put the phone back in his pocket, looked at Gao Wen again, and then added.

"You and Sasha played against each other once, in Miami."

The meaning behind the words is like lest Gao Wen forget who this "unknown person" is.

It could be noticed that some reporters in the press conference hall were showing distressed expressions. If Gao Wen said "who" at this time, it would be really exciting and beautiful.

Gao Wen noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere, and the smile in his eyes quietly flickered.

At this time, Gao Wen finally opened his mouth to answer the question.

"Of course, I remember, he is a very good player, talented and capable. I believe he is in a stage of rapid development. This time we meet again and fight again. This is a brand new game. I need to give it my all. go."

blah blah blah...

The reporters were a little disappointed. Gao Wen in front of him had no sharpness at all, and his polite remarks made people drowsy.

However, Gao Wen was not affected, and the conversation continued.

"Very frankly, the game in Miami was probably one of the luckiest games of my career. It's definitely a challenge to play against Sasha again. I hope I can be more confident and I hope I can make the most of my experience. .”

"I don't mean to be arrogant, but I think I can beat him."

on site:…

One second, two seconds—

Then, there was thunderous applause.

The same sentence is completely copy-pasted. From the mouth of Zverev, it is arrogance and arrogance, and it is sharp in the ear.

Precisely because of the previous sentence, "I don't mean to be arrogant", it revealed the arrogance of Zverev Jr., not the vigor of a young man, nor the fighting spirit full of expectations for the game. Zhong is condescending, and his words can't hide it at all.

But from Gao Wen's mouth, there is a kind of ridicule and sarcasm, low-key and self-confidence, hidden needles, laughing and cursing, learning from each other, the press conference hall immediately became a talk show scene, once again showing Gao Wen's Humor and wisdom, spontaneous applause.

After all, Gawain was not arrogant, he could indeed defeat Zverev Jr.

In fact, objectively speaking, compared with Miami, Zverev Jr. has restrained a lot. After all, he was educated hard at the end of Miami. This time he came to the US Open and played against Gao Wen again. A little caution has been taken.

But the point is that Zverev Jr. is the proud son of heaven. He has heard countless praises since the training period. Let the master teach you a lesson, "age" can also be an excuse—

The youngest player in the top 100 of the ATP, from Wimbledon to Flushing is the youngest player in the main tournament list.

Under these auras, his arrogance and arrogance could not really be restrained.

In fact, Zverev Jr. remained the same even years later.

But now—

Zverev Jr. is eighteen and Gawain is 19, but what has Gawain achieved and where is Zverev Jr. on the tour?

The same sentence, when the two players say it, has completely different effects.

Especially in the context of the whole speech, Gao Wen showed his modesty, prudence, low-key and introverted, and his self-confidence and fighting spirit were concealed.

Naturally, all the reporters in the press conference room became Gao Wen's crowd.

Between the applause and the whistle, some reporters continued to fan the flames for fear of chaos.

"Gao Wen, is this meeting also the 'highest consumption'?"

Behind the cautious words there was an irresistible joy and excitement, but could Gao Wen be fooled?

Of course not possible—

In Grand Slam tournaments, there is a five-set best-of-three system. No player firmly believes that he can defeat his opponent by only losing two games, because this means that there must be a set to be cleared, even if the Big Four at their peak play against the world's top 300 players. Players outside the field dare not boast so much.

One is that there are many difficulties. After all, the men's serve is very strong. The score of "6:0" is not as many as expected. Zverev's first serve is now very mature.

Second, it is not necessary. Losing only two rounds in the whole game means that the whole process of concentration is tight. From the beginning to the end, it is still difficult. The consumption of physical and energy is unbelievable, which directly disrupts the entire game The follow-up plan and overall layout of the two-week Grand Slam event.

How could it be possible for Gao Wen to disrupt his entire U.S. Open plan for a mere little Zverev and a little bit of verbal disputes, and it is still under the circumstances that the status of his return from injury is uncertain?

If you think about it with your toes, you know it's impossible. UU Reading www. uukanshu.com

"Highest consumption" is just a gimmick, a kind of psychological warfare.

The last time Miami was successful, even Gao Wen himself was surprised, and it was incredible that he didn't get a slap in the face; but now, it is absolutely impossible for Gao Wen to let himself fall into the same situation again.

"No. I don't think so."

Definitely, crisply—

The press conference room was a little dazed. The reporters also expected that Gao Wen's intelligence would not be fooled, but they didn't expect Gao Wen to be so decisive.

"Let's save some face for each other."

A double entendre, but it seems meaningful.

On the surface, Gao Wen is saving face for himself, but the deep meaning of his words lies in:

First of all, he saved face for Zverev Jr. He can actually achieve the "highest consumption", but he does not want to hurt the self-confidence and pride of young people.

Second, he's already proven it once in Miami, there's no need to do it a second time, or it would be a humiliation.

Gawain was advancing by retreating, and slapped little Zverev once again without making a fuss, but the real important thing was:

Next, no matter how Zverev Jr. responds, the only result is that he humiliates himself, and there is no need for Gawain to continue talking.

Perhaps, the only way for Zverev Jr. to prove himself is to defeat Gao Wen and prove himself with his performance on the field.

For a long time, this has been the only law of competitive sports. No matter what grievances or emotions, everything speaks with strength.

So, Zverev Jr. is...seeking benevolence and benevolence, and begging for hammer?
