Chapter 1002: Fame brings trouble
Those eyes were sharp and hot, almost burning the skin.
Morgan was immediately furious.
"Why, did I say something wrong?"
"He didn't dare to do it before, but now he dares to do it. Isn't it because he has been spoiled? Everyone says he is so powerful, so he wants to show you how powerful he really is."
"Isn't this just being a big shot or something? If one or two of you want to kneel on the ground and lick his shoes, I don't care, but don't drag everyone else into being as lowly as you. I won't swallow this."
result--
"Are you pretending to be stupid or are you really stupid? What happened? Why did Gao Wen leave? Don't you really know?" A colleague nearby couldn't help but rolled his eyes and complained harshly.
Morgan still looked stubborn and almost exploded, "He left in the middle of the press conference, which is against the rules. Even if he was not satisfied with the questions, he should have continued to sit still."
His colleagues next to him ignored him, only the murmurs of discussion were heard.
"It seems that he is a moron..."
"I didn't expect that Gao Wen would be criticized by others..."
"It's about time. When you are famous, you are prone to gossip..."
Morgan's face was flushed and he was about to explode.
Morgan immediately took action and wrote a long article on his social network account, with 500 words -
He severely condemned Gawain's behavior of being a big shot, and warned him earnestly that he should be modest and guard against arrogance and impatience, and the more famous he became, the more humble he should be.
And so on.
The article quickly went viral on social networks, and within a short period of time it was forwarded more than a thousand times and spread within a small circle.
As the reporter said, when you are famous you are prone to gossip.
When you are still a nobody, no one pays attention to you whether you are right or wrong; but when you stand in the center of the spotlight, your every move is put under the microscope, and even if you have done nothing wrong, people will find some faults, and then hatred, curses, and harm will follow.
What's more, this year's Melbourne Park was indeed full of ups and downs. Gao Wen won himself a group of loyal fans, but also attracted a group of black fans.
Morgan's criticism was quickly supported by a large number of people.
They needed just such a weapon to attack Gawain hard.
However, just as the topic began to spread, it encountered a wake-up call.
Major mainstream media outlets have released relevant reports and provided clarifications. They elaborated on the ins and outs of the press conference and restored the truth.
Although they did not express their opinions or positions, and did not comment on Gao Wen's departure midway, they simply presented the whole story.
But this is enough, at least people can see the truth and understand the reasons behind Gawain's behavior, and then make their own judgments.
Of course, there are supporters, opponents, and indifferent people. Everyone can express their own opinions, which is also the biggest feature of social networks.
Among them, the most important point is ATP.
Should Gao Wen's behavior of ending the press conference midway be condemned? Should he be punished, such as a fine or a warning?
No.
Nothing at all.
There was no movement from ATP, as if they had not noticed the heated discussions on social networks at all and had completely disappeared.
So much so that later, at the official ATP press conference, Morgan couldn't hold back and asked Gao Wen directly about the relevant issues.
ATP officials gave the official position:
Koeman did not violate any ATP regulations. He attended the press conference and answered enough questions. Although the ATP does not approve of Koeman's behavior of leaving the press conference midway and does not encourage any player to do so, they will not impose any punishment.
Not even a warning.
Take a clear stand!
Everyone was in an uproar.
Morgan was furious and launched a severe condemnation on social networks, showing an attitude of not giving up. However, neither the ATP nor Gao Wen gave any response.
Completely ignored.
As a result, this has become a circus performance for the black fans to entertain themselves, with them being passionate, shouting at the top of their lungs, and getting red in the face, until they are exhausted.
The crowd said, "It's very exciting. Otherwise, how about jumping through two more fire hoops?" Quietly, the focus of the topic shifted to Gao Wen, and no one remembered the cause of the incident.
Across the Atlantic.
Court waved his hands in tears. Hey, hey, hey, why did the topic change? Why did the main point get forgotten? What about Dimitrov? Don't be fooled by Gawain. There is still no answer to Dimitrov's matter. Did the goldfish forget the origin of the matter? The Internet was in an uproar.

In fact, all of this is predictable. From Wawrinka to Bouchard to Gawain, the hot topics surrounding them have never stopped over the past year or so, and will not stop for a long time to come.
If their performance declines, these attacks will become more intense.
The only way is to continue to win and silence all those opposing voices.
From Federer to Nadal to Djokovic and finally to Murray, they all went through this process to get to where they are now.
This is the only way to become a superstar. The thorns and obstacles exist not only on the court, but also in the real world outside the court.
Gao Wen knew this very well.
Therefore, Gao Wen completely ignored the buzz of news outside the stadium and focused on the field.
In the second round, he faced Joao Sousa, a Portuguese clay court expert.
Sousa, currently ranked 47th in the world, has always been a banner of Portuguese tennis. For more than ten years, he has been the number one men's singles player in Portugal. He may be unfamiliar to ordinary fans, but his performance on the court has always been very stable.
He is best at clay court events, but he also has decent strength on hard courts. He may never be able to make it past the second week of a Grand Slam, but he is always a regular in the third round of a Grand Slam.
At the Australian Open earlier this year, Sousa won two games in a row to advance to the third round, where she eventually lost to Murray.
This is a player with very solid basic skills at the baseline. Although he lacks strength, he can still launch beautiful attacks with his dribbling and point-grabbing skills.
However, facing the all-round improved Gao Wen, Sousa seemed to have few options and failed to bring much impact throughout the game.
“6:1”, “6:1”.
Amidst the storm of controversy, Gao Wen defeated his opponent with a perfect performance and successfully advanced.
It was a clean and powerful score with no sign of any off-field interference. Even the post-match press conference was filled with laughter and conversation, as if the riot that occurred at the same location the day before had never occurred.
Morgan still couldn't hold back and continued to provoke at the press conference. He just wanted to see Gawain lose control: "Gawain, you performed so well in today's game. Are you trying to prove something?"
The tit-for-tat questions are obviously nitpicking, even provocative.
Gao Wen did not get angry but smiled instead, lowered his chin, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"It was the first time I realized that playing with all my strength could be interpreted as having ulterior motives. So, the next step would not be that reporters would think that my victory was all because of my gambling, right?"
