Chapter 1037: A brief friendship but a deep affection

The training was still the same as usual, but the atmosphere and mentality had changed quietly.

Originally, Li Zhe thought that it was mainly because of the halo effect of being a "Grand Slam Champion" -

After all, even the Grand Slam champion Gawain set an example by being so focused and dedicated, and started training as soon as the plane landed. How could they be lazy? Their pride was aroused, and then they followed suit and devoted themselves to training wholeheartedly.

But gradually, Li Zhe realized that things were far more complicated than that.

He could deeply feel the enthusiasm and concentration radiating from Gawain, and the happiness was almost overflowing.

But how can training be fun? Daily training is boring, tedious, hard, and even a torture.

This is the key point. The training is still hard, but Gao Wen is completely immersed in it. A sense of satisfaction and burning sensation gradually fills his chest.

That kind of positive, bright and optimistic emotion quietly infected everyone present, and they couldn't help but be completely immersed in it.

Perhaps, this is a kind of leadership temperament.

call.

Li Zhe adjusted his breathing slightly, dragged his heavy feet, and seemed to dig out energy from deep in his dantian, and his speed increased again.

Run! Run! Run at full speed! The wind was howling, and my fingertips seemed to be able to catch the traces of their flow. My body also became lighter, and then I ran faster and faster.

So pure and so simple, I haven't felt this way for a long time.

Fifty laps.

After stumbling over and over, Li Zhe finally completed the "completely unnecessary" training, but he did not regret it at all and smiled widely.

huff huff.

Li Zhe was breathing heavily, and a smile came into his eyes from the corners of his mouth. He found Wu Di lying on the ground in a big letter shape.

"What's wrong with him?"

Li Zhe turned to ask Zhang Ze, because Zhang Ze was the player closest to them and should know the specific situation best.

Zhang Ze was also out of breath, but still answered.

“I’ve been trapped.”

Li Zhe: ...Shock! Wu Di, he was actually trapped? No way?

Then, Zhang Ze raised his right hand and made a scissors hand gesture.

What does that mean? Li Zhe blinked his eyes, "No way, was I trapped twice?"

Zhang Ze showed a big smile, "No, just a little bit, about one and a half laps."

Li Zhe's mouth can fit an egg.

At the last moment, Gao Wen accelerated, burst out in an instant, and started sprinting. Although Wu Di also tried to keep up, his lack of explosive power limited the acceleration. The gap became larger and larger, and the speed became faster and faster. Gao Wen almost finished the last four laps in a full sprint, crushing all the way.

Wu Di refused to admit defeat and tried to keep up with Gawain. His entire rhythm was passively caught up in Gawain's mode, and his pace was completely disrupted. In the final stage, he ran more and more chaotically, became more and more tired, and his breathing became disordered. The more he tried to speed up, the more he consumed energy. He could only watch Gawain leave him far behind.

He gritted his teeth and completed the sprint, his knees almost gave out, his calves trembled, and he fell to the ground.

It was so embarrassing.

Zhang Ze was also directly trapped for two and a half rounds.

But Zhang Ze didn't mind. He spread out his hands, and his smiling face seemed to say:

See, I told you so.

Gao Wen came towards him with a faint smile on his face. He stretched out his right hand towards Wu Di, pulled Wu Di up, and helped Wu Di walk slowly a few steps.

No matter how tired or painful you are, you still need to slowly relax your cardiopulmonary function, otherwise you will feel more uncomfortable afterwards.

Wu Di looked at the people around him, shook his head repeatedly, unable to say a word, and just kept gasping for breath.

Gao Wen, who was standing next to him, was in sharp contrast. Although he was sweating profusely, he seemed to have some energy left. His eyes were bright and his expression was relaxed. He did not look exhausted at all. His light steps seemed like he could run another fifty laps without any problem. He met Li Zhe's gaze.

"mind!"

"In fact, just like a marathon, once you enter the speed change mode, it becomes a battle of the mind, fighting for the control of speed, not just a competition of physical strength and speed."

"It's mainly because I caught you off guard. You weren't prepared for the distance of fifty laps, so naturally you didn't make a good plan."

Gao Wen, was not complacent, but remained rational and calm. The "loop" was not as exaggerated as it seemed.

If we simply test physical fitness, the gap is more than that.

Li Zhe couldn't laugh, and said with a straight face, "So, are you mocking us for being brainless?"

Gao Wen: ...

Li Zhe looked at Gao Wen's expression which froze for half a second, and then he burst into laughter. "Haha, did that scare you? We've got one back!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Gao Wen laughed in silence and raised his hands in surrender.

Li Zhe, however, thought of something else and stopped joking. "Gao Wen, what do you think is the gap between us and the world level?"

Such a huge and complex subject?

Gao Wen was very surprised, and he did not hide his surprise. He did not think that he had reached the level where he could "point fingers at the world."

Li Zhe laughed. He could see Gao Wen's confusion at a glance, and then explained, "Don't think too much about it. It was just a private discussion between us."

"Just like what you said just now, we expected that our physical training might not be as good as yours, but there is no gap without comparison. We didn't expect the gap to be so big, so I'm just a little curious."

Li Zhe could also understand Gao Wen's hesitation——

A shallow friendship but a deep affection.

After all, they have just met; and the domestic competitive sports system is... hard to describe, and every top athlete needs to face a complex situation.

It is obviously impractical to rashly ask Gao Wen to give orders here and then change the entire system with just a few words.

"The team leader and coach are not here, so we are just chatting privately."

Li Zhe explained again.

Like them, the coaches all thought that Gao Wen would come in the afternoon, and that there would be some basic warm-up training in the morning, so Li Zhe was in charge of leading the team. They did not attend, but were thinking about the deployment of troops for the team competition: how to make good use of Gao Wen, which was obviously a topic.

There was a hint of sincerity in Li Zhe's expression.

"I have been playing tennis all my life, but I have never been able to step onto a higher stage. Now these young people behind me have the opportunity. Aze even won a game in Melbourne."

“I thought, maybe we can have more possibilities in the future.”

In Li Zhe's eyes, Gao Wen could see sincerity and passion. He truly loved tennis and the court beneath his feet.

Gao Wen does not think he has the ability to guide others. After all, he is still learning, improving and working hard, let alone giving advice on the entire training system. But perhaps, he can talk about his own experience and opinions, just like when he trained with Zhang Ze at Melbourne Park at the beginning of the year.

Like Gao Wen and Li Zhe, they sincerely hope that more and more new talents will emerge in mainland China and let tennis shine on this land.

He, he, and they are not alone in the pursuit of their dreams and in the battle on the field.
