Match Point

Chapter 308: Nobody cares

The latest website: Tobias was rambling, Sampras looked at the calm Gawain, relaxed his tension a little, and patted Gawain on the shoulder.

"Just be yourself."

Then, Sampras nodded slightly at Gao Wen, expressing his encouragement.

In the eyes of Sampras and Tobias, Gao Wen pushed open the door of the press conference hall, entered it, and could feel a bustling heat wave rushing towards him. Sizing, probing, and hesitant eyes all focused on him.

Gao Wen's footsteps paused slightly. He knew what kind of storm he might face, and he also knew what kind of bullets he might face, but he was already prepared. The reporter was not afraid, and Isner was not afraid either. , Let this storm come more violently.

"please."

A press officer at the scene was in charge of presiding over the order, and made an invitation gesture to Gao Wen, signaling Gao Wen to take a seat in the center of the audience.

Tread Tread.

Gao Wen walked over calmly, scanned the audience roughly, but found that there were no Asian faces in the audience, he was a little surprised, he thought he could see the faces of Zhan Jun or Hu Litao here.

But what Gao Wen didn't know was that both Zhan Jun and Hu Litao were commentators, not reporters. At this moment, they were both explaining the live broadcast of the first match day, so how could they have time to come to interview.

So, what about the other journalists?

The Huaxia reporters had already come to the press conference hall. However, the press conference was being held after Peng Shuai defeated Zheng Jie to advance to the second round of the Huaxia Derby. In the end, after struggling hard, they still chose As for the other Asian reporters, they chose Kei Nishikori and Kowami without hesitation.

By accident, that's it.

However, after a cursory scan, it can be found that the Grand Slam tournament is really extraordinary. There are more than a hundred reporters sitting in the press conference room. This is obviously just the tip of the iceberg of the thousands of reporters who came to interview the US Open. It was the grandest scene Gao Wen had ever experienced.

gurgling.

gurgling.

No need to speak, just the carbon dioxide breathed out can make people feel the heat wave coming.

Inadvertently, Gao Wen straightened up a little bit, his mother said that he should not hunchback.

"Okay, reporters, you can ask questions."

The on-site press officer spoke, and then waited for the reporter to raise his hand before he called the roll.

Gawain's heart was beating slightly faster, he was ready for any attack, but—

There was no sound.

The more than one hundred reporters in front of them didn't move or make any sound, they just sat quietly like facing a group of robots.

Um? what happened?

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows. He had envisioned many, many possibilities, but he didn't expect this one at all. He couldn't help but look down at the name card in front of him. Could it be that the organizing committee didn't write his name and nationality correctly?

"Reporters, you can ask questions now."

The press officer also realized that the scene was a bit awkward, so he asked again, but—

There was silence.

There was still no movement in the press room, because it was so ridiculous that Gao Wen thought it was a prank.

In 2021, such a thing has happened in men's tennis.

In the Miami Masters, the young Polish teenager Hubert-Hurkacz (Hubert-Hurkacz) was upset all the way, ranking in a series of world rankings such as Medvedev, Zverev Jr. Standing out from the top ten top players, he reached the final championship and became the first Polish player to win the Masters Championship in history, which once appeared on the headlines of major media.

However, three weeks later, the Monte Carlo Masters kicked off, and Hulkac once again successfully defeated his opponent to advance to the second round and came to the post-match press conference.

The well-behaved Hulkac waited for the reporter to ask questions, but... the audience was silent.

Hulkac was a little dazed and didn't understand what happened, so he could only keep smiling. After waiting for about 30 seconds, there was still no response. He could only politely say "thank you", then got up and left the press conference room.

In fact, in the Masters, whether a player holds a press conference depends on whether a reporter applies. That is to say, only when a reporter wants to interview the player, the post-match press conference can be held.

Now that the press conference has been held, it means that the reporter's application has been responded to, but after Hurkac came on the stage, no one asked questions. This is undoubtedly very absurd and lacks respect.

Later, this incident was considered by countless people to be the most embarrassing and humiliating moment in men's tennis in 2021-it is not Hulkac who needs to feel the shame, but the silent reporters.

Even Hulkac, the Masters champion who is second only to the Grand Slam, has suffered this kind of treatment, which is really dumbfounding.

Of course, in the two months after this incident, Hulkac once suffered a six-game losing streak; instead, he recovered strongly in the Wimbledon Tennis Championships. He was born in 1997 and beat Medvedev and Federer all the way. The top four, who performed very well, gave their own responses.

In the last life, when Gao Wen saw the news, he just thought it was ridiculous, but he never expected that he would also encounter such treatment?

At that time, Hulkac kept smiling throughout the whole process, and he did not get angry or provoked. This was why he did not give the reporter any excuses. So how should Gao Wen respond?

"Reporters, you can ask questions now."

The on-site press officer spoke in Chinese, because after the English interview session, there were corresponding interviews in his native language. He was obviously worried that he would miss the Chinese media, so he asked the question again, but the response was still silent.

looked at each other.

Gao Wen laughed lightly, sincerely, with a smile overflowing from his eyes, and then said in a joking tone.

"It seems that the difficulty of Chinese is really embarrassing for everyone."

Gao Wen pointed to his name card with his finger, then said encouragingly with his fists clenched.

"Actually, you can try it. Believe in yourself, it's not that difficult."

After finishing speaking ~lightnovelpub.net~ Gao Wen stood up gracefully and waved to the reporters.

"Thanks!"

Then, Gao Wen left the press conference hall with light steps.

Pushing open the door, one could see the stunned expressions of Tobias and Sampras. They were even more shocked and stunned than Gawain.

But Gao Wen laughed heartily, "Look, I told you, don't worry, I can handle it."

Tobias: ...what? This is called don't worry?

Tobias' anger surged in an instant, what happened to these reporters? It is clear that he is playing with the players, what is this? Replace Isner with a new Maw? Usually they can't stop chattering at all, but now they all suddenly become dumb?

Is it tolerable or unbearable!

If the tiger doesn't show his power, they still think he is a kitten!
