Match Point: Chapter 1231 Off-site gossip
Chapter 1232
"We and Jack are also friends in private."
"Then, as the conversation went on and on, it got to the game, and Wasek kept picking on Bob, saying you can't tell us apart."
"Phew, you also know that fool Bob is impulsive. He was trying to defend you, but Vasek bit him, and then they made a bet."
"I... I'm not sure, I always feel that Vasek is a bit malicious."
He hesitated to speak.
It can be clearly seen that Mike is not a character who likes to gossip behind his back. If he didn't really notice something, he probably wouldn't say anything.
But even if he said it, Mike didn't arrange Pospisil indiscriminately, he just clicked to the end, and then waved his hand and showed an awkward smile.
"Of course, maybe it's just my own random thinking. Anyway, that fool Bob thinks that it's just young people messing around. I hope I'm worrying too much."
Mike felt a little uncomfortable. He was thirty-seven years old, and he was standing in front of Gao Wen, but he was rubbing his neck cautiously. He was obviously not familiar with the matter of slandering others behind his back.
In fact, it has nothing to do with age, it has something to do with mentality, just like the "half glass of water" theory, some people always see the negative side, while others always choose to see the positive side—
Obviously, Mike didn't want to casually speculate on other people's malice.
Although Mike didn't say much, Gawain could imagine that Bob was a fast-talking straight-talker. If Bospisil wanted to create a trap, Bob would be easily fooled. From Mike's expression, it can be seen that he is very interested in Pospihir's approach is quite disapproving.
A few words are enough.
Gao Wen could feel the kindness conveyed by Mike, showed a smile, and joked in a half-joking way,
"It's just the trivial things of young people."
"You also know that young people are very angry, and if they don't pay attention to it, they will go up. They want to roll up their sleeves and fight. A little beer may lose control."
"I don't like him, he doesn't like me, but that's all. I'm not going to be the most popular guy on tour."
The tone of understatement, with a little ridicule, makes the serious topic lighter, not only expressing the position, but also avoiding exacerbating the problem.
In Gawain's view, Pospithil's actions were not only naive, low-level, but also boring. He didn't even dare to stand in front of Gawain and speak loudly. As a result, he only dared to make some trivial moves behind his back. He was still complacent and ready to watch a good show, but he didn't have the guts at all.
However, regarding the grievances between Gawain and Pospisil, he will settle the accounts in private, and there is no need to involve the innocent brothers Brian and Dimitrov.
That's why Gao Wen chose this way of responding.
Sure enough, Mike raised his jaw slightly. Isn't that what conflicts between young people are like? She yelled "break up the relationship", but it was really childish.
Mike was a little relieved, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose again, "But obviously, neither Bob nor I expected that you can really recognize it."
Gawain shrugged, "We are friends, aren't we?"
Mike's smile became more relaxed, and slowly fell into his eyes, "Be careful, the friendship ends here, and if we step on the court, we will be enemies."
Gawain deliberately pulled some distance back, "So, are you spying on the enemy now?"
Mike looked at Gawain's wary eyes looking up and down, and finally couldn't hold back anymore, and laughed outright.
The laughter attracted both Dimitrov and Bob to look back.
Mike waved his hands again and again, trying to show his innocence.
In the end, Gao Wen didn't give him a chance at all, and directly made a "Huang Feihong" gesture, "Hmph, let's go here."
The funny look didn't need any explanation at all, and the atmosphere became relaxed. Bob and Dimitrov laughed, and even Mike couldn't help laughing.
The air also became lively.
The game has begun.
really! Live up to expectations!
Looking around, the entire No. 1 stadium was full, and the attendance rate easily exceeded 50%, and there were still spectators entering the stadium one after another.
Perhaps, the attendance rate has not reached 100%, but there are two points to note here:
First of all, this is a doubles event, and the attendance rate is generally lower than that of singles, especially in the early rounds of the event.
Secondly, the box office market in Monte Carlo has been troubled because of the special composition of local residents. Those who are eager to watch the game may not have the time and money, while those who have time and money may not be interested in tennis, even if they are interested. , may also come to see the big-name superstars.
It is precisely because of this that Monte Carlo's Masters status was almost canceled by the ATP that year.
At this time, in the second round of a doubles match, the attendance rate could exceed 50%, and the stadium was full of noise; moreover, this is the No. 1 stadium with a larger capacity, which is enough to make the organizers happy——
Gao Wen is indeed the player with the most box office appeal in the new generation, even if it is a doubles match, he can also attract a large number of spectators to the scene.
Likewise, the quality of play did not disappoint.
From the first game, the young pair of Gao Wen and Dimitrov showed full impact.
It can be seen that they didn't plan to play casually and let it go, but went all out to challenge the pair of doubles legends in front of them.
The performance of the Bryan brothers was a little unstable. Although they won the championship in Miami and showed the momentum of recovery, it is another matter to come to clay. Last week, they were out in the first game in Houston. They came to Monte Carlo this week. Today It was the first game, and they were still a little bit uncomfortable.
"2:1".
In the first three rounds, both sides kept their serve.
Gao Wen, who took the lead in serving, took the lead for the time being; but the Bryan brothers had already faced the test of break point in their own serve. At the critical moment, they still relied on the tacit cooperation of doubles to resolve the predicament and secure the serve in a thrilling manner.
Immediately after the fourth game, the Gao Wen combination made a comeback.
Among the Bryan brothers, Bob and Mike also have their own strengths. On the whole, Bob is better at serving and is completely a North American cannon-style player; Mike is more balanced, with more delicate and more delicate techniques on the baseline and at the net. Comprehensive, he is often the master tactician in charge of the layout.
So ~www.mtlnovel.com~ All along, Bob's serve is more stable, and the advantage of serving is more obvious; Mike's serve is relatively weak.
Of course, this is only relative, not absolute.
The fourth game was Mike's serve. Bob was in charge of standing in the front court. The net handling was a little rough, which also gave Gao Wen a chance to combine.
"40:40".
Dimitrov's volley at the net forced Bob to volley out of bounds. Gawain and his team saved a game point.
Then, Mike serves and Dimitrov receives the serve from the baseline.
At this point, the turning point came out—
Dimitrov's slash serve was of good quality, forcing Mike to be unable to change the line. He also returned a slash, but the line did not complete the split.
Chance!
Gao Wen was very bold and active, and with a horizontal stride, he appeared on Mike's return line.
Volley in front of the net!
