Match Point: Chapter 719 Debut

call…

Gao Wen let out a long, long breath, adjusted his breathing, and kept focused.

Everything happened too fast and too rushed.

From knowing that Raonic has decided to retire, to coming off the bench, to going to the training ground to warm up and practice, and then turn around and prepare to play.

Everything happened within four hours, which is obviously different from any other competition—

For other games, the schedule is fixed, you can know it one day in advance, and then adjust it according to the game time, step by step towards the field; but now everything is rushing in a rush, and the whole mood is naturally different.

With the debut of the year-end finals and the overwhelming attention, everything became even more turbulent.

Previously, all attention was focused on the current matter, the excitement of the stage and the joy of fighting occupied the brain, leaving no room for thinking.

Now, standing at the entrance of the players' tunnel and preparing to appear on the stage, a lot of disturbing thoughts spread instead.

But Sampras told Gawain it was part of the game.

In Grand Slam tournaments, due to the five-set best-of-three system and natural weather, the uncertainty of the game time is further amplified, and accidents may also increase.

If the previous game has been dragged on, this may destroy all subsequent games.

Sometimes, organizers do nothing but keep players waiting so long that games are moved to the next day.

Sometimes, the organizers will arrange in advance, adjust the competition venue, or simply cancel some games.

Sometimes, players arrive on the court after warming up to wait for their debut order, but the game is so long that the muscles cool down, they have to go back to the gym to warm up again, and then return to the court to wait, and the game is still not over. Repeatedly warming up three or four times in this way, forming a cycle—

It has an impact on feel, state, mentality, concentration, etc.

But the point is, this is part of the game, and every player can and needs to face it.

Gao Wen has not been in the professional arena for half a year, and his lack of experience is still on the table, so it is also a good thing to experience some things and grow up quickly.

"Just do what you've always done, focus on training and games, that's the best way."

Sampras trusted Gao Wen.

After the incident, their entire team was more or less in a hurry, but Gao Wen's attention was always highly focused, which made him feel relieved.

Now, what Gao Wen needs to do is to focus on the battle.

Take a deep breath, take another deep breath.

Then, Gao Wen closed his eyes, and felt the beating heart carefully, because he was looking forward to the frenzy and excitement, so the heartbeat was so turbulent.

Calm down, the five senses gradually become clearer, the turbulence and madness in the air also become concrete, as if a wild tango is playing on the surface of the skin, the grandeur and noise of the o2 stadium collide with hot sparks, transforming Make bits and pieces of particles, drill into the blood vessels along the pores, and then—

Burning.

From the Grand Slam to the Masters to the year-end finals, the dream is moving forward step by step, one "first" after another, "history" again and again, and the pace never stops.

Huashan Discussion of Swords will be staged soon.

Then, all he needs to do now is one thing:

Walk up the court, swing the racquet, hit the ball.

Sweat, bloom wantonly, and fight to the end!

"...Gentlemen and ladies, let's give a round of applause, Gao... Wen..."

In the stadium, there was a noise from far and near, accompanied by applause and cheers, like a tsunami, the world also brightened up.

Gu Xu

tread.

Gao Wen took a step, one step, one step after another, and then his concentration came back bit by bit. When he opened his eyes, he could see the dazzling blue lights intertwined together, creating the most magnificent and magnificent scene in the world. scene.

first step.

This is his first step to stand on the O2 court of the year-end finals, just like the Arthur Ashe stadium. Similarly, this will definitely not be the last step.

The soles of the feet feel the firmness from the ground, and then, the more they walk, the firmer they become, and the more they walk, the lighter they become.

First Gao Wen, and then Nishikori Kei.

The audience applauded thunderously, and even broke out the most solemn and noisy heat wave since the start of the competition, which deeply placed the high expectations of the audience.

"...CCTV, CCTV..."

"What we're streaming live for you right now is..."

"... at London's o2 stadium..."

"This matchup was supposed to be Raonic..."

"...The new U.S. Open champion came off the bench..."

The TV frequencies are woven into a big net, covering every corner of the world. The commentators are busy introducing the game, including the ins and outs of Gao Wen’s appearance, including the past of Gao Wen and Kei Nishikori’s fight, including the current situation. The qualifying situation of group b, and so on and so on.

The rain is about to come, and the wind is full of the building.

On the court, Gao Wen and Kei Nishikori had completed the pre-match handshake and coin guessing sessions, and officially entered the warm-up.

Guessing the coin, Kei Nishikori guessed the coin correctly, and he chose the court on the right, which also means that he was the first to receive the serve—

deja vu.

Because it was the same in the quarterfinals of the US Open. Kei Nishikori guessed the coin and then chose to receive the serve. It cannot be said that they are very similar, but they are exactly the same.

Then?

Then, Gao Wen was "0:40" behind and sent three consecutive break points in his first serve. After saving two, he was still broken.

Whether it is now or in the distant future, Kei Nishikori's games are consistent, with super breaking ability, struggling ability to hold serve, peaks and troughs are consistent; and 2014 is the starting point of Kei Nishikori's peak state. The ability to break serve is top-notch, so he is naturally full of confidence.

It can be said that among the new generation of male players, most players - such as Raonic - are based on their own serve game, but Kei Nishikori is a small part, his game is based on In the receiving game, the status is determined by the receiving service.

Gao Wen, you are already mentally prepared.

Snapped. Snapped. Snapped.

The sound of hitting the ball echoed in the o2 stadium, and the echo was exceptionally clear, as if it could hit the chest directly. The full-seat audience stands further amplified the echo effect, from vision to hearing, and even the touch of the skin, all the details All show a difference.

Last week ~www.mtlnovel.com~ the Accor Arena could accommodate 15,000 spectators; this week, the o2 stadium can accommodate 20,000, and the adaptation status of the entire stadium is also very different.

"In this game, there is another very noteworthy detail."

"For Gao Wen, this is the first time he has stood on the o2 court, and it is also the first time in his career that he will appear on such an important stage as the year-end finals."

"And Kei Nishikori, who is on the opposite side of the net, is also a recruit in the year-end finals, but he has already played against two giant players in the O2 stadium."

"In terms of experience and feelings, Kei Nishikori undoubtedly has the upper hand, which also poses more challenges to Gao Wen..."

In the studio, Tong Kexin's words were still ringing in his ears, and the situation on the court had changed dramatically.

"40:0".

In the blink of an eye, Gao Wen had already scored three consecutive points, establishing an advantage.
