Chapter 1030 Professional Knowledge
Even though he was mentally prepared, when he saw the "grand scene" of the siege, Pelt couldn't help but clench his fists.
These reporters seemed to have forgotten that Gao Wen was only 19 years old; moreover, he had only been in the professional tour for half a year. Everything was new, unfamiliar, fresh and green. He needed time and experience to slowly settle down and polish himself. He needed to face more setbacks, more challenges and more failures.
They need to be more tolerant and caring towards Gawain.
Maybe the media forgot; maybe the media didn’t forget at all but just didn’t care, and they couldn’t wait to push Gao Wen into the vortex of controversy.
However, turning to look at Gawain, that young and tender face was still smiling, firm and bright, and Pert's chaotic mood also settled down a little.
"... Gao Wen, last year, you led the team to the NCAA championship. Now that you are reliving the old dream, are you determined to win a place in the Davis Cup World Group?"
Pressure, pressure, and more pressure.
Originally, this question was neither special nor prominent amidst the chatter, but surprisingly, Gao Wen stopped in front of the reporter who asked the question.
Click, click, click…click…click…click…
The bustling noise subsided a little, and the overwhelming flash lights also quieted down, and everyone's eyes were focused.
What happened? Even the reporter was confused and had no idea what was going on. Wait, did his question accidentally hit the nail on the head? The eyes moved back and forth between Gawain and the reporter. Flashes lit up sporadically, and then, a small circle of people around could hear Gawain speaking.
"...rustling...rustling..."
The entire arrival hall was so huge that it was packed with people in three layers inside and outside, so that Gawain's voice was completely swallowed by the carbon dioxide.
Then, Gawain continued to move forward, accompanied by Pelt and Hamilton, like an arrow, tearing a hole in the crowd and walking away. The dense sea of people dispersed along the stern like a boat on a lake, and then gathered together again.
Wait, what did Gao Wen just say?
Looking at Gao Wen who was walking further and further away, and then looking at the reporter who was swallowed by the crowd, the reporters at the scene needed to make a choice in a split second.
Finally, a small number of reporters followed Gao Wen out of the airport, while most of the reporters stayed behind.
The main reason is that reporters are not paparazzi and do not need to follow closely. Highway chases are just made-up scenes from Hollywood movies. Moreover, Gawain's next stop is definitely the training ground, which is a known answer. They do not need to worry about not finding the target.
then--
"Brother, what did Gawain just say?"
For the thousand and eighth time, people were whispering to each other and asking the same question, and the reporters who had just gathered in Gawain's circle became the source of information.
Some people refused to speak mysteriously, while others thought it was harmless and gave the answer directly and generously.
"I didn't lead my team to the top of the NCAA."
What? "Gao Wen said, 'I didn't lead the team to the top of the NCAA. If you say that, our Bruins will be sad.'"
What? Almost everyone’s first reaction after hearing the answer was full of question marks——
That’s it?
Gawain stopped to explain to the reporter just to clarify this sentence? Just... just this? However, the most ridiculous thing is that everyone nodded in affirmative response. Gawain only said this sentence from beginning to end.
"By the way, Gao Wen also smiled and patted the reporter on the shoulder, saying, 'Remember to recite the basics of journalism.'"
Ha ha!
Hahaha! Hamilton tried to hold back, but in the end he couldn't help it. He curled up in the corner of the back seat, his shoulders shaking violently like chaff.
I can't stop at all.
Even Pelt couldn't help laughing when he recalled the expressions of those reporters.
Some were stunned, some were stunned, some were horrified, some were puzzled, and some didn't understand...the various strange expressions were so vivid.
Moreover, everyone was so shocked by the unexpected event that they were unable to react. In the end, they just watched Gawain leave in a daze.
That scene...
I had thought that the entire exit was blocked and it would take some effort to get out smoothly, but I didn't expect it to be effortless at all.
Normally, Pelt is not a curious person. He always sticks to his work and devotes himself wholeheartedly to professional affairs.
In Pert's view, human wisdom and energy are limited. If you want to achieve something in one thing, you must concentrate and focus, and devote 100% without reservation. Only then can you reach the top in a field, so he has always done so.
But today, Pelt also showed some rare interest.
"So, Gawain, what are the basics of journalism?"
Hamilton also raised his head and looked at Gawain, showing curiosity.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Gao Wen did not keep the audience in suspense and gave the answer directly, "Truth. The basic essence of news is truth."
Pelt: ...
HAMILTON: ...
Why do I feel a little confused after hearing the answer? But think about it carefully——
Those reporters probably never dreamed that their professional knowledge would be raided here, and they had all been away from campus for many years. If they were asked about their professional knowledge now, it was estimated that not many people would be able to remember it, so they were caught off guard by Gawain.
Imagine the scene, it’s really beautiful.
Pelt couldn't help but wonder what was going on with Gawain's brain structure?
Maybe Sampras is right, they just need to trust Gawain, and Gawain will know how to deal with different situations.
Involuntarily, my mood calmed down a little. As we got closer and closer to our destination, I no longer felt the nervousness and apprehension I had when I boarded the plane at Dubai Airport.
Looking out the window, the blue sky and white clouds of New Zealand spread out before my eyes. The city is so clean without a trace of pollution, and the weather is clear and bright. My whole vision and mind are broadened.
Then, the dark green lotus-shaped court of the ASB Tennis Center appeared at the end of the horizon.
This stadium was built in the 1980s and the annual ASB Classic Women's Tennis Championship and Heineken Men's Tennis Open are held here.
In the past, the court was made of clay for a long period of time; then, in 2010, the organizing committee of the tournament obtained sponsorship and invested 25 million to renovate and upgrade the court. They chose hard courts that are more in line with the times and easier to maintain.
Moreover, slightly different from the Australian Open, a concrete hard court was chosen here, and the material is closer to that of the US Open.
After its completion in 2012, it now has a world-class tennis venue.
From this perspective, playing in Oakland as a warm-up for Indian Wells and Miami can be considered a small bonus.
The stadium was getting closer and closer, and in the blink of an eye, it was right in front of us.
