Chapter 765

Looking at Sampras who was lightly pointing out the situation in front of him, Gawain was slightly taken aback, and then burst out laughing.

"Pete, have you ever thought about it, for me, a Grand Slam is still a Grand Slam, after all, it is special, because when I was born, the Grand Slam has already started to be special."

Sampras opened his mouth slightly, and couldn't help but pause for a while, but soon turned around.

"That's why I'm telling you the truth now."

"The four Grand Slams are important, it's true, but they're not that special except for the bonuses and points."

"You can see that the mentality of Roger and Rafa is very good. They believe in the importance of the Grand Slam, and they try their best to fight for it. They fight hard until the last moment, but they realize that they are not the whole of life, and they will not lose their mentality because of them. regardless of costs."

Gao Wen: ...

Raising his eyebrows slightly, he looked at Sampras, his upper body tactically leaned back, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Peter, how do I feel that you are connoting someone."

Sampras shrugged, noncommittal, and said meaningfully again, "I said this in a fair way, but it is not my responsibility who will be stung."

This provoked Gao Wen to let out a low chuckle.

Sampras also had a smile in his eyes, and continued.

"I think, in terms of Grand Slam, you have nothing to worry about. I want to focus on the expectations of the new season and the pressure from the outside world."

"After all, to break into the top ten in the first season, I think, there should be no one else can do it except John McEnroe. You have set a standard that is difficult to beat. The 2015 season To perform better means we have a lot of work to do."

"So, it's important that the offseason mental conditioning and training program should be combined."

Gao Wen raised his hands to express that he had no objection and everything was left to the coach's arrangement.

Sampras paused for a moment, and he could feel a bit of confusion from his expression and words, "This also comes to another matter."

"Just now I said that John invited me to be a coach. On the one hand, experience is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is because of my playing style."

"You should know, I'm a serve-and-volley type player, obviously, you're not."

"John's idea, I understand, you are a player who plays with your head, your tactical layout and game interpretation are the most important weapons, so it is very important to enrich your arsenal as much as possible. More means that your tactical combination is more three-dimensional and more changeable."

"However, the current younger generation is paying more and more attention to bottom-line skills, and the living space of pre-net skills is gradually disappearing, and it may become more serious in the future."

Without waiting for Sampras to continue, Gao Wen nodded slightly in agreement, "Peter, I know that from Roger to Rafa to Novak, they are all improving their net skills, because they Realizing that tennis can only be flexible if you take full advantage of the entire court."

Sampras snapped his fingers, "If you stick to the bottom line and seesaw back and forth, the tennis game will become as boring as a rally."

"In Melbourne Park in 2012, Rafa and Novak have tried their best. It is undoubtedly a game that will be recorded in history, but purely from the content of the game, it is not as good as the All England Club in 2008. The showdown between Fa and Roger."

"Tennis should be a sport full of sparks of inspiration from the collision of wisdom and physical strength."

Speaking of this, Sampras raised his jaw with some pride. The 1990s he experienced was indeed an era when a hundred flowers bloomed and superstars were shining.

From then until the first decade of the 21st century, tennis was interesting, not because of the players themselves, but because of the different styles, different types that flooded the courts, before high technology disrupted the trend of the entire sport, Everything is so beautiful.

Sampras was slightly distracted, immersed in memories, but quickly withdrew his attention and let out a breath.

"John was right."

"He wanted me to bring something new to your game, and I agreed, which is why I nodded yes."

"However, both John and I overlooked one very important thing: time."

"On the one hand, it is your training time. Obviously after the US Open, you have no time to train systematically. This also delayed our entire training system."

"On the other hand, it is your growth time. You are still gradually forming your own game style. The bottom line is still your most important means of scoring. If you break the scoring mode rashly, you will not only not be able to improve, but will also face challenges. In labor pains, you might not even know how to play."

"You need time, and I need time. We all need to move forward step by step, and we can't rush it."

With just a few words, you can deeply feel that Sampras should have thought about it for a long time, and always think of Gao Wen.

After the end of the US Open, Gao Wen and Sampras began to cooperate. In just three months, Gao Wen actually achieved good results and initially saw results.

But Sampras did not sit back and enjoy the benefits. He chose to become Gao Wen's coach, hoping to contribute his strength to help Gao Wen become a better player; however, the reality is that Gao Wen is still the same Gao Wen, To win in Gao Wen's way, the only thing he can do is mental adjustment.

Originally, psychological adjustment is also one of the tasks of the head coach; the problem is that this is not what Sampras is good at.

So Sampras also blamed himself. He hoped that he could do more for Gao Wen.

When thinking about the offseason training plan, this idea gradually becomes more and more important, and finally occupies the whole head.

Sampras raised his head to look at Gao Wen, showing a rare expression of serious affection, even Crayon Shin-chan's eyebrows were not as relaxed as usual.

"I've been thinking, what can I do for you, what should I do for you..."

"Pete..."

Gao Wen just opened his mouth~lightnovelpub.net~ Sampras raised his hand to stop him, "I know you want to comfort me, but listen to me."

"You are a bottom-line player. This is an obvious fact. I am a serve and net player. The style and content of the game are different from yours."

"Actually, the technical help I can give you is not as much as I imagined. Of course, I still hope to help you improve your net skills, but before that, you need more advice on baseline shots. When I realized At this point, I feel a little helpless.”

Sampras smiled at Gawain, although he tried his best to hide it, he could still feel the sadness in his eyes—

Because I care, I regret it.

In just a few months of getting along, Sampras really liked this young man very much, and sincerely hoped that he could bring more things to Gawain.

In life, there are many, many things that are more powerful than words. At this moment, the sad eyes that Sampras inadvertently showed are like this.

"I thought maybe a new coach would be a good thing for you."
