Match Point

Chapter 880: quiet air

Ha ha.

hehe.

Oh oh oh.

Amidst the brisk laughter, a calm and calm voice broke the joy in the studio.

"Sorry, I don't think so."

All eyes were cast in the direction of the source of the sound, and the smile froze slightly, but no one interrupted rashly, and the host didn't dare, just asked along the way.

"Oh? Chris, what do you think?"

Keep smiling, and do your best to hide the stiffness in the corners of your mouth.

Chris-Evert could see the corners of the host's mouth stiffen, but she didn't care because her job was to have an opinion.

Evert kept a small smile on his lips.

"Please don't get me wrong, I have 100% respect for Rafa, and I very much hope to see him continue to win. If there is a matchup as you mentioned in the semi-finals, believe me, I also raise my hands and feet, looking forward to it Rafa and Andy can give a good game."

"However, I must admit that when the draw comes out, what I would like to see is Novak against Stan, Gawain against Andy or Roger."

"Of course, if Gregor, Milos or Nick, or other young players come forward, it is also worth celebrating and welcome."

"The injection of young blood, for a sport, represents hope and future, and also represents competition. It is precisely because of the impact of young players that these players who have worked hard in the tour for many years can continue to motivate themselves to improve. Like Roger and Rafa, these giants."

"It's a virtuous cycle."

"So, last year, Stan and Gao Wen were able to win the Grand Slam and the Masters, which is really good, and this year in Melbourne, I also look forward to it."

To put it simply, Evert, like tennis fans around the world, is looking forward to the continuation of the "Big Four VS Challengers" situation and continuing to bring excitement.

Perhaps, several other Australians present also thought so, but after Gao Wen defeated Kyrgios to advance to the quarterfinals, they changed their minds.

However, Evert still insisted on his own ideas.

"For the upcoming quarter-finals, I don't think Gawain has no chance."

"Of course, Rafa has reached the final in Melbourne two years in a row, his experience and ability are unquestionable, after breaking into the second week of the tournament, he is a dangerous opponent, very, very dangerous, for anyone That’s the case, he’s definitely the more favored side.”

"However, judging from this year's competitive status, I am full of expectations for Gao Wen's prospects."

Evert, considered by countless people, is one of the greatest players in the history of women's tennis and one of the most powerful contenders for GOAT.

After the WTA introduced the world ranking system, Evert was the first ever world number one, and in the twelve years from 1974 to 1986, her world ranking was either first or second, not only strong but also stable .

The queen, who is affectionately called "Ice Princess" by fans, is derived from her calm and calm performance on the field, no matter what the situation is, she can't overwhelm her.

In 1971, Evert, who was only 16 years old, saved six match points and won the game in the second round of the US Open. The story of "Ice Princess", and later wrote a series of incredible records in the arena. Fun Court

During the entire thirteen years from 1974 to 1986, Evert won at least one Grand Slam singles title every year, and finally fixed his number of Grand Slam singles titles at an astonishing eighteen. There are sixteen runner-up trophies.

Evert's career wins have reached 1309 wins, and 107 wins in a single season is also very impressive. The wins in his entire career have reached 90%. Until now, he is still the highest among all professional players. Includes men and women.

Among them, Evert's most dominant venue is clay.

Seven French Open champions were considered unattainable heights for a long time, until a Mallorca teenager named Nadal was born, but even Nadal needs to look up to Evert.

From August 1973 to May 1979, Evert set an unprecedented 125-game winning streak on clay courts. The record ended in the 1979 Rome Open, where Evert lost to Trey in the semifinals. West - Austin (Tracy-Austin); then, she maintained a two-year winning streak on the clay court, until the 1981 French Open.

Before and after, for a full nine years, Evert's clay court record was an incredible 197 wins and one loss.

Some players can't win 200 victories in their entire lives, but Evert has created such a winning streak on clay, which also makes Nadal's 81-game winning streak on clay a bit bleak.

Most importantly, Evert was the first professional player to backhand with both hands.

Before that, people generally used one-handed backhand, even if some people occasionally used two-handed backhand, they did not make a name for themselves.

When Evert started tennis, because of her short stature, she couldn't do a one-handed backhand, so her father had to teach her to hold the backhand with both hands, hoping to change back to the "normal" one-handed backhand when she grew up.

However, Evert has not changed.

Quite the contrary, Evert's two-handed backhand changed the sport so much that one-handed backhands are now rare.

In 2008, Evert married the Australian golf star Greg-Norman (Greg-Norman), so she also travels between the United States and Australia all year round, and often appears on the scene as a guest of the Australian Open.

It can be seen that Evert's professional views are undoubtedly of great reference value.

Evert didn't take into account the mood of the Australian hosts, said a word of justice, and—

There was a very, very brief silence in the studio.

I'm afraid that the air will suddenly be quiet.

While looking at each other, no one took the initiative to speak.

But Evert was not moved at all, his expression did not change much, and he continued to talk stubbornly.

"In my opinion, Gao Wen is very, very looking forward to the match against Rafa, and he has already prepared for this match, both mentally and physically."

"So, the game should be good to watch and have suspense."

Visible to the naked eye at the scene, the host's expression was almost about to crack.

But what can they do with Evert?

What else can I do!

"Hehe, Chris, it seems that you have full confidence in Gao Wen, let us hope that your expectations will not be disappointed." The host reluctantly answered.

Such cynicism was of no use to Evert. She nodded solemnly, "I will go to the scene to watch the game. Let us look forward to a wonderful match."

Host: ...This is a live broadcast This is a live broadcast This is a live broadcast, no foul language is allowed. cannot!

Strictly speaking, the "Australian Open Show" is not a professional program, but an entertaining talk show, so the views are not professional.

Nevertheless, it is undeniable that the attitude reflected in the "Australian Open Show" is precisely the true portrayal of the mood of the fans of the host country at this time.

Australian fans like Nadal very much, not necessarily as much as Federer or local players, but they definitely like it very, very much; and now, local fans' love for Nadal has reached an unprecedented peak, and it is overwhelming exploded on social networks.

because!

Nadal is the best hope to snipe Gao Wen!

The local fans could no longer wait any longer, they needed to see Gao Wen out, and now, immediately and on the spot! I don't want to wait a second longer.

If Nadal can beat Gao Wen today, he can even win the "national hero" treatment in Australia.

But the problem is that Nadal has always lacked a little luck at Melbourne Park, and he never seems to be the "Australian Open favorite". In the dark and damp mine tunnel, Lu Ye walked forward step by step with a mining basket on his back and a pickaxe in his hand.

The content of the website is wrong, please download the iRead app to read the correct content. The boy's expression was a little sad, his eyes focused on the space in front of him, as if he was staring at something.

From the perspective of outsiders, there is nothing in front of Lu Ye, but in fact, a translucent shadow can be seen in the young man's field of vision.

It was like the shadow of a tree, gray and unreal, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and the branches were separated from one third of the tree to the left and right, supporting a semicircular crown.

It has been more than a year since he came to this world called Kyushu, and Lu Ye has not yet figured out what it is. He only knows that when his attention is concentrated enough, there is a chance that this shadow tree will appear in his vision. And no one will notice at all.

What a sad life. The boy sighed.

A year ago, he woke up suddenly in this strange world. Before he could familiarize himself with the environment, the power he was in was captured by a group of thieves, and many people were killed. He and some other young men and women became that He was taken captive by the bandits, and then sent into this mine vein, where he became a lowly miner.

Afterwards, he learned from scattered conversations with other people that the faction he belonged to belonged to the Haotian League, a sect called Xuantianzong.

The name of this sect sounds cool and domineering, but it is actually just a small sect that is not popular.

It was Xieyue Valley under the command of Wanmo Ridge who captured Xuantianzong.

The Haotian League and the Wanmo Ridge are the two major factions in this world, both of which are formed by the alliance of countless forces, big and small, fighting against each other with the intention of completely destroying each other, and it is said that it has lasted for hundreds of years.

In Lu Ye's view, this kind of battle is simply a confrontation between the lawful camp and the evil camp, and he was just accidentally involved in this tide of confrontation.

Over the years, the Kyushu Continent has been raging with wars, and small forces like Xuantianzong have been uprooted every year, but soon more forces have sprung up like mushrooms, occupying various territories, making the situation even more chaotic.

A miner is a miner, right? Lu Ye comforted himself. Compared with those who were killed, he was still alive after all.

Being able to survive is not because he has any special ability, but because Xieyue Valley needs some handymen to do things, such as Lu Ye, who has no cultivation base and is still young, is undoubtedly the best choice.

In fact, the miners in this mine vein are not only members of Xuantian Sect, but also disciples of other small families and small sects.

Xie Moon Valley is not weak. Over the years, it has captured many territories. Naturally, the original forces on these territories have been wiped out, and some of the available manpower was sent by Xie Moon Valley to enslave everywhere.

Without exception, these people all have one characteristic, they are not enlightened yet, and they have no cultivation base, so they are easy to control.

There is a saying in the Kyushu Continent that it is difficult to transform a demon without enlightenment, and it is difficult to cultivate without enlightenment.

If you want to practice, you need to open your spiritual aperture, and only if you open your spiritual aperture, you are qualified to practice.

Opening the spiritual aperture is not a simple matter. Ordinary people can open the spiritual aperture after systematic training, but around a hundred and one, if they come from a cultivating family or sect, and have elders to guide them, the proportion may be higher.

Lu Ye failed to open his own spiritual aperture, so he could only make a living by mining in this dim mine tunnel.

However, the mine slaves are not hopeless. If they succeed in opening their minds and find someone in charge to report to the higher authorities, they will have the opportunity to participate in an assessment. If the assessment is successful, they can become a disciple of Evil Moon Valley.

However, there are very few mine slaves who can get enlightened. They work all day in this dark environment, and they can't even eat enough. How can they still be enlightened.

So basically 99% of miners have resigned themselves to their fate, working hard every day just for a full meal.

Lu Ye didn't have any sense of belonging to the Xuantian Sect. After all, the Xuantian Sect was destroyed when he first came to this world, and he didn't know anyone in the sect.

He also doesn't want to be a disciple of Xieyue Valley, this is not a serious force, just listening to the name gives people a sense of evil, and it will be cold sooner or later.

But he can't stay here forever as a miner's slave. How decent is that? After all, he is also an elite in the new era. If a man has no dreams, he is no different from a salted fish.

So this year he has been working hard to open his mind. Originally, he thought that only the shadow tree he could see could provide him with some wonderful help, but until now, the shadow tree is still just a shadow. Don’t say anything about help. Sometimes it will affect his eyesight.

Lu Ye seriously doubted whether there was something wrong with his eyes.

After turning a corner, a faint light appeared in the distance, which was one of the exits of the mine.

The harvest is good today. If you turn in the ore in the mine basket, you should be able to get three points of contribution. Counting the accumulation in the past few days, there are about twelve points. Two points are exchanged for two steamed buns, and the remaining ten points are just enough. Change to a Qi and Blood Pill.

Qi and Blood Pill is a very low-level elixir, not an aid for enlightenment, but if you want to have enlightenment, you must be full of Qi and blood. Although Qi and Blood Pill is low-level, it is suitable for people like Lu Ye who are not enlightened.

The reason why Xieyuegu is willing to take out Qi and Blood Pill is not out of kindness, but because they are well versed in the way of people's hearts. This cheapest and low-level pill can make hopeful people work harder to mine.

For example, Lu Ye is very hardworking every day.

Thirty feet away from the exit of the mine, Lu Ye casually glanced at a corner on the left front, where there was a huge boulder lying across.

He kept walking, and continued to walk forward until about ten feet away. Then he put down the mining basket on his back, tightened the mining pick in his hand, and took out a moderately sized stone from the mining basket, and weighed it a little. .

The next moment, he ran towards the boulder, approached the boulder, slid sideways, stepped on the rock wall of the mine, and swooped down behind the boulder with the strength of the rebound, like a vigorous cheetah.

The two figures were squatting halfway behind the boulder, using the boulder to cover their figures, and they never expected that anyone who came would find them.

Hearing the movement, it was too late to see Lu Ye wanting to get up.

Under the horrified gaze of the two, Lu Ye raised his hand and threw the ore in his hand, hitting the bridge of the nose of one of them. The man immediately let out a miserable cry, and fell to the ground on his back with blood streaming from his face.

Lu Ye shot again with the pickaxe in the other hand, but missed the second person. The person reacted well and turned his head to avoid it.

However, Lu Ye had already rushed in front of him, kicked him down, and hit the opponent's lower abdomen. The man's face was filled with pain, and he flew out, knelt down on the ground, and spat out a mouthful of sour water.

Lu Ye stepped forward, grabbed the opponent's hair with one hand, saw the opponent's face clearly, and sneered: I don't know who it is, it turns out it's you two brothers!

He knew these two people, they were disciples of the Liu family. After the land where the Liu family was located was captured by Xieyue Valley, some young disciples of the Liu family were sent here to serve as miners.

Strictly speaking, the two brothers, Lu Ye and the Liu family, are also related by fate.

This blow was not light, Liu's second child only snorted, and was directly knocked unconscious.

Lu Ye walked towards Boss Liu who had been injured by him before.

Boss Liu's forehead was smashed, and his eyes were blurred with blood. He faintly saw Lu Ye walking towards him, and was so frightened that he rolled and crawled: "Forgive me, my two brothers didn't know it was you who came, and thought it was someone else who spared me!"

The two Liu brothers sneaked in ambush in front of the exit of the mine, naturally they had no good intentions.

Before these two people were captured, they were both pampered and pampered. Even if they became miners, they would not be willing to endure hardships. However, the status of miners is low. If you contribute, you can't get food at all.

Therefore, the two brothers often squatted in front of a certain exit of the mine tunnel, robbing those miners who were alone. Many people were unlucky because of this. Not only were the ore they worked so hard to mine every day robbed, but they were also beaten to death.

Last time they just wanted to rob Lu Ye, but they were not their opponents, so they were taught a lesson.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, I met these two brothers again.

The same kind of rice feeds all kinds of people. Among the mine slaves, there are lazy people like the Liu brothers, and there are people like Lu Ye who have dreams.

Over the past year, Lu Ye's contributions exchanged through ores, in addition to ensuring daily food and clothing, were all exchanged for Qi and Blood Pills.

He took no less than thirty qi and blood pills in various ways.

This created Lu Ye's physique stronger than most miners. Although his body was not considered strong, the strength contained in his body was already better than that of ordinary people.

It's no problem dealing with two lazy miners.

Boss Liu was still begging for mercy, but Lu Ye pretended not to hear, grabbed his hair, raised the stone in his other hand, and smashed it down hard.

Lu Ye has seen too many tragedies in his career as a miner for more than a year, and he has long understood a truth. In this world of cannibalism, any pity and sympathy are useless.

The miners are not in harmony either. The miners from different forces are doomed to be unable to unite. For a piece of good ore, the miners will often beat their heads to death.

People die in the mine every day, and every time you walk a certain distance, you can see a dead bone scattered on the ground.

There are not a few miners who starve to death because of being robbed.

Boss Liu fell down in response.

Lu Ye picked up his mining pick, put the mining basket back on his back, and walked towards the exit. He didn't kill the Liu brothers, not because he was merciless, but because injured miners generally wouldn't live long here.

After walking a few steps, a person suddenly rushed in from the exit in a panic.

Get out! The man drank in a low voice, and slapped Lu Ye over.

At this moment, Lu Ye felt cold all over his body, because he saw a light blue light flowing through the opponent's palm.

That was the light of spiritual power, in other words, it was a monk who attacked him!

Only by opening the spiritual aperture can one be qualified to practice and be called a monk.

The monk's spiritual power is an extremely magical power. Lu Ye once saw a monk from Xieyue Valley make a move. Although it was not too powerful, the man smashed a piece of ore with just a light palm. It was after seeing that miraculous scene that Lu Ye made up his mind that he must open his spiritual aperture and become a monk.

He had also secretly evaluated that even the monk with the lowest cultivation level in Xie Yuegu could easily beat ten of himself.

So when Lu Ye realized that it was a monk who shot at him, Lu Ye knew that he was going to be in trouble.

At the critical moment of life and death, he abruptly stopped his pace and jumped back suddenly.

There was a numbness in his chest, and the sound of a broken bone sounded, and Lu Ye flew upside down and fell to the ground.

The severe pain cleared his mind a lot, and he got up immediately after realizing that he was still alive.

Huh! The monk who took the shot was a little surprised. Although he didn't use all his strength to slap the palm just now, he just slapped it casually, but it shouldn't be something a miner can bear.

Seeing the miner's face clearly through the dim light, he blurted out: Lu Ye?

At this moment, Lu Ye was already in the posture of turning around and running away. After hearing the voice, he was extremely stunned: "Guan Shi Yang?

This monk surnamed Yang is a small steward in the mine, and Lu Ye often deals with him, because the Qi and Blood Pill was exchanged from him, so they are familiar with each other.

Steward Yang is very optimistic about Lu Ye. After all, it is rare to see such a hard-working miner~lightnovelpub.net~

However, if you are optimistic, you are optimistic, and there is no special preferential treatment. If you don't get enlightened for a day, there is an insurmountable gap between ordinary people like Lu Ye and monks.

After recognizing Lu Ye, Manager Yang was relieved that he failed to slap him to death. Lu Ye had exchanged a lot of Qi and Blood Pills from him in the past year, and his physical fitness was better than that of ordinary miners. Strong, plus he just hit casually and didn't intend to kill deliberately, so it's not surprising that the opponent survived.

On the opposite side of Guanshi Yang, Lu Ye's heart beat like a drum.

The monks in Xieyue Valley generally don't care about the life and death of miners. They also know that miners often fight in the mine veins. Unless they meet them, they basically ignore them.

Lu Ye just beat the Liu brothers until they were bloodied and passed out on the ground. Turning around, Manager Yang slapped him. From Lu Ye's point of view, it was obvious that Manager Yang was teaching him a lesson.
