Chapter 1911: Step by step

Latest website: Exactly one year ago, when the unknown Gao Wen embarked on the Grand Slam journey for the first time in his career, Chinese tennis was facing a fork in the road of destiny, and its continued upward momentum may have suffered a fatal blow.

However, one year later, the expansion and spread of the tennis market in China has not only not stopped, but has continued to break through and climb to a new level, and finally exploded when the US Open came again.

Once upon a time, thousands of fans overcame their bedridden habits and got up early to watch the NBA Finals live with sleepy eyes.

Once upon a time, thousands of fans stayed up all night, ignoring the jet lag, just to wait for the grand debut of the Champions League final.

Once upon a time, millions of football fans sacrificed their sleep day and night to change their schedules in line with the World Cup schedule.

Now, for the first time, tennis enjoys such treatment—

The start time of the men's singles final is 4 pm in New York City, which is 4 am for Chinese fans.

And it’s still four o’clock in the morning on a Monday morning.

This is really unfriendly.

However, after experiencing a miracle comeback in the Australian Open finals, experiencing the regret of being stopped in the semi-finals at the French Open and Wimbledon, and experiencing a series of unexpected setbacks during the North American summer hard court season, Gao Wen actually returned to the final stage in New York, one step away from defending his title. The champion has one last step left -

No one wants to miss it; no one should miss it.

It is a rare sight that the men's singles final continues to soar in discussion and attention. Fans who are watching and not watching, and passers-by who understand and do not understand have also joined in. For the first time, a event comparable to the World Cup has been created on the Chinese social network platform. The craze is not just about the NBA or Champions League finals.

Fans are grabbing the tail end of this summer, celebrating, partying, reveling, and waiting to witness it.

Originally, Jiang Yanqing was planning to go to New York with Qiao Wangsheng, but the embarrassment and hardship of real life eventually tied her feet.

But that doesn't mean she can't join in the fun.

The harder life gets, the more we need moments like this, where we believe in dreams, believe in miracles, and believe that we can fight for a tomorrow with our own hands.

at this time. now.

Jiang Yanqing watched the mighty black craze in front of her spread all the way through the night, and her heart surged uncontrollably.

Regardless of the outcome of the final, they will stand behind Gao Wen, fight together, experience together, and then remember it firmly together.

"Fight!"

Jiang Yanqing raised her empty beer glass high and cheered.

The surging crowd in front of me shouted and responded in unison.

"Constantly!"

Tonight, no one sleeps.

That heat wave traveled across the Pacific Ocean, across the entire North American continent, over mountains and ridges, and all the way to the other end of the earth, exploding and burning.

"Gawain!"

"Gawain!"

"Gawain!"

When Gao Wen arrived at the training ground to start basic training in the morning and prepare for the finals that was about to kick off in the afternoon, the scene was full of enthusiasm.

There were three floors inside and three floors outside, and the training ground was completely surrounded by densely packed people. Macdonald was so startled that Gawain burst out laughing.

MacDonald was also a little helpless and scratched his head, "I thought I had gotten used to it in two weeks, but the reality is that there are surprises every time."

In just a few weeks, with Gawain by his side, Macdonald saw a whole new world. He thought he might not learn anything. After all, tennis is an individual sport. In the end, you still need to rely on yourself. The only one on the court who can The only one you can rely on is yourself.

However…

This is a journey full of magic, worth a thousand dollars.

MacDonald took a deep breath and covered his chest, "Is this normal? You were the one competing in the afternoon, but I ended up being more nervous than you."

Gawain laughed directly, "Normal."

"It's like when we were in school, we were always more nervous watching other people's games than our own. The players stood calm and composed on the court, while one or two of us below were like ants on a hot pot who couldn't stop."

As he spoke, he prepared without any panic.

It's not the calmness that comes with accumulated experience. In fact, when he first set foot on Arthur Ashe Stadium last year, Gawain already looked like this -

Rather than being nervous, I feel more excitement and anticipation. Thinking that I am about to challenge the masters, that I am about to face the best players in the world, and that I am about to face the legendary giants, I can’t help but get ready to try. This is The greatest charm of competitive sports.

At least that's how it seemed to Gawain.

Of course, this is Gao Wen’s fifth Grand Slam journey and third Grand Slam final. Some things are the same, those excitements, excitements, and excitement; some things are brand new, a new game and a new situation. A brand new duel cannot be judged by past experience.

Everything is done step by step.

MacDonald glanced at Gawain's movements, "...Doesn't it matter? I mean, don't you need to cover it up?"

Gawain is wearing an ankle brace.

Although the ankle injury is harmless, after continuous high-intensity games, the ankle cannot get sufficient rest and is still a fragile link, so it needs to be protected.

What MacDonald meant was that it was necessary to conceal intelligence to prevent Djokovic from formulating corresponding tactics?

Gao Wen laughed directly, "This is no longer a secret. Moreover, I think everyone is a professional player and has experience in the impact of injuries. We all know that no matter what the situation is off the court, in the end It still depends on the performance on the spot, an ankle brace can’t mean anything.”

"Maybe this is also a smoke bomb?"

MacDonald couldn't help but laugh when he saw Gawain's confident smile.

Off the field, fans also saw Gao Wen's actions.

Qiao Wangsheng showed some concern, which may become an uncertain factor in the final.

Although he did not speak, Gu Xiao seemed to be able to understand the fans' thoughts. After all, he himself was the same, "Starting from Toronto, it is an uncertain factor. No one knows his situation better than Gao Wen. All we need to do is to He backed up and had his back.”

Qiao Wangsheng immediately realized that he was in trouble——

There is no doubt that they are eager for victory and championship. Witnessing history live at UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is undoubtedly exciting, but they are even more eager to fight and fight.

Qiao Wangsheng didn't say much. His eyes lit up when he saw Sampras, Agassi and others arriving at the stadium one after another, as well as Dimitrov who followed them.

Although he had just lost the semifinals, which was a heavy blow to Dimitrov, this time was different from any previous defeat. He gained courage and confidence, and still stayed in Flushing, playing Gawain. His batting partner role, his whole mental outlook is completely different.

Then, Qiao Wangsheng raised his arms high -

"Fight!"

When Gu Xiao heard it, the smile on his lips also rose, he raised his arms and shouted, kept jumping, and beat the rhythm with his body.

"Fight!"

One sound, another sound, and the energy gathered like this.
