Match Point: Chapter 1718 walk independently

LATEST WEBSITE: Look, this is the web, this is life —

It doesn't even need to wait for Gao Wen to fail, it's just like the end of the world if his performance drops slightly but he still remains at the top.

It's no wonder that Murray has been complained and attacked over the years. Outside the "giant aura", invisible pressure is everywhere.

Even Gao Wen, who has been a human being in two lifetimes, needs some time and space adjustments in the face of such pressure and shocks. At the same time, he needs some buffer zones to clear his mind, regain his concentration and regain his focus. The short ten-day vacation is just the beginning. He needs a vacation.

Even Gao Wen was like this, let alone McDonald and his group of college students?

After all, they are all ordinary people of flesh and blood.

In fact, is it more than just competitive sports?

The same goes for real life—

Everyone is burdened with their own expectations for life, the future, and happiness, and then they are involved in the vortex of stress and anxiety time and time again, at a loss what to do.

"call."

Martin let out a heavy breath.

Martin, is no exception.

In fact, Martin is already mentally prepared that this year may be very, very difficult, very!

However, when things really happened, he needed to face painful defeats again and again, and then turn around to cheer for the young players, relieve the pressure on the young players, reinvigorate them, and lead the team to move forward, struggling against the clouds and storms in the boundless darkness.

Disaster.

It's really too difficult.

"In the team competition this year, we stopped at the top 16 and lost to Oklahoma. Do you remember Oklahoma?"

Martin asked casually.

As a result, Gawain deliberately showed a thoughtful expression, as if he had lost his memory, which made Martin laugh, and then Gawain answered.

"Coach, I'm just arrogant, not stupid."

Last year, Gao Wen played against Oklahoma City as a surprise player and became famous in one fell swoop. Later, in the semi-finals of the team competition, the Bruins once again defeated Oklahoma City to enter the finals. In just one year, how could he forget these precious memories?

Gao Wen was also a little interested, "It seems that they are doing well this year?"

There was a smile in Martin's eyes, "Well, it's really good."

"They are the number one seed. We managed to catch the last train this year and ranked No. 16. In the end, we encountered them early in the third round of the team competition."

"We lost, '3:4'."

Understatement, but can savor the bitterness.

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows lightly, "Coach, it seems that our brown bears have a good fighting spirit this year."

Martin was slightly taken aback, where did this come from?

Gao Wen turned his head to look at the court, "With the loss of three main players, our performance this season was really mediocre, and we failed to improve the seed ranking. But entering the national competition, the cohesion of the team is reflected. Even in a difficult situation, we still fought to the last moment and did not give up lightly."

"'3:4', such a loss is bitter, but behind the score, it can be seen that every player has burned all the energy."

"Coach, it seems that Mike is a good captain."

Martin: ...

Opening his mouth slightly, the same thing, but with a completely different perspective, Gao Wen grasped the key point in a gloomy cloud.

Martin once again felt the leader's temperament in Gawain. Facing failures calmly and learning from failures is a kind of ability and a kind of courage.

Martin misses the Bruins last year, not because they were able to win, but because they were always firmly united—

Of course, the same is true for the team in front of them.

Following Gawain's line of sight, Martin also looked at the court again. Macdonald was concentrating on training, even more devoted than before discovering Gawain.

Can't help but feel it.

"Yes, Mike is a good captain."

Thinking of this, Martin felt a little more relaxed and relieved.

"Actually, Mike performed very, very well this year. Although he can't compare with you, he is on par with Marcos. He didn't lose a few games in singles this year, and finally ranked the third seed in the US Championship."

"but."

"After our group lost early, the atmosphere of the whole team was not normal. Mike was carrying too heavy a burden. The more he wanted to perform well, the more he was restrained. The singles game was obviously abnormal, and the upset stopped the second round."

Gawain was a little surprised—

With McDonald's strength, whether he can win the championship will not be said for the time being, but there should be no problem in the quarterfinals or semifinals.

From team to singles, as the defending champions, they both stopped in the previous rounds and were out early, which was a heavy blow to the Bruins.

Although this scene was foreseen before the start of the season, it was still difficult to accept.

After thinking about it, it's not surprising.

For young players, there are often obvious ups and downs. On the one hand, it is because of the difficulty in emotional control, and on the other hand, because of immature skills and tactics. Therefore, in the Challenger League, Hope Tournament, NCAA and the four Grand Slam youth tournaments, it is often seen that the top eighth seeds are out of the game early.

From another perspective, this is the price of growth.

If Gao Wen hadn't been a man in two lifetimes, he might have to go through the same process, especially the turbulence and bumps in the period after winning the US Open.

After thinking about it, Gao Wen asked, "Who is the number one single in Oklahoma?"

Martin was stunned, "Lamas. He is not only the number one singles player of the Quickies, but also the number one seed in the United States. He has only lost two games this year."

"Lamas?" Gao Wen nodded lightly. If I remember correctly, he was the No. 3 singles player in Oklahoma City last year, and he was also a young player. "Then how is his performance in the singles arena?"

Martin finally came to his senses, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "Stop the third round."

Although the University of Oklahoma performed well in the team competition and made it all the way to the finals, they performed abnormally in the final and lost to the third-seeded University of Virginia;

Martin chuckled, "Are you gloating now?"

"En." Gawain nodded seriously.

Martin didn't hold back, "Haha!"

Looking at Gao Wen beside him, Martin hesitated to speak—

He wanted to say, UU read www.uukanshu.com to see if Gao Wen can do a little favor, train with the Bruins for two days, or lead them to adjust, Gao Wen's leadership qualities can always exert unexpected effects.

But as soon as the idea popped up, it was already cut off.

Gao Wen has already left the Bruins, he has his own career, they have no right or qualification to ask Gao Wen to worry about the Bruins again.

More importantly, he should trust the current captain of the Bruins, McDonald. If he asks Gao Wen for help, will it destroy McDonald's confidence and further worsen McDonald's psychological burden?

They cannot rely on Gawain, and sooner or later they need to learn to fly alone.

In the end, he still swallowed the words, and regained his reason amidst the turbulent thoughts.

Martin showed a smile, and the words that came out of his mouth changed, "So, when you come back this time, is it just a vacation, or is it to prepare for the US Open series?"
