Chapter 1047: The Veteran Never Dies
"Fight!"
A shout came from the direction of the players' rest area. Li Zhe looked in the direction of the voice reflexively and saw Gao Wen standing up at a glance.
With an upright posture and a cool gaze, his passionate cheers were resounding. He clenched his right fist and raised his arm, shouting loudly, again and again, without stopping.
fighting.
Not cheering, but fighting.
Li Zhe could not help but think of Gao Wen's words: Fighting is endless! Fighting is continuous! Every game is a struggle and a battle for Gao Wen, burning his blood, igniting his spirit, and exhausting the last bit of energy in the depths of his soul.
Give it your all.
Without reservation.
Deep in Gawain's eyes, what shines is not only the desire for victory, but also a challenge, an impact, a release, and a burning passion.
Truly inject all the passion and enthusiasm of life into this court.
Li Zhe could see the flame burning deep in that soul, and the unwavering belief, expressed through his eyes and shouts, weighing heavily on his chest.
"fighting."
The deep part of Li Zhe's throat also began to surge. The two simple syllables collided with each other, and a faint spark burst out.
Turning around, Li Zhe saw Zhang Ze constantly jumping on the spot and moving his body.
Zhang Ze is still persisting and working hard, but his body language doesn't lie, and one can still see that he is at the end of his strength and his physical strength has indeed reached its bottom.
It doesn't matter, this is doubles, they are partners, they are comrades, they need to take care of each other, if Zhang Ze can't handle it, then he will shoulder more responsibilities.
In fact, some people will say that
Zhang Ze and Gao Wen have won two consecutive singles matches, and Gao Wen will have another singles match tomorrow, which also means that China can basically ensure victory.
Therefore, the victory or defeat of a doubles match is not as important as imagined. There is no need to force sentimentality or excitement. This is not a cliff. Even if you lose the game, it does not mean that the Davis Cup team competition will be lost. There is really no need for them to be so tragic and tragic.
Li Zhe knew all of this, but competitive sports shouldn’t be like this, “Winning or losing doesn’t matter”, and team competitions shouldn’t be like this even more, “It doesn’t matter if you lose, you still have teammates”, this is not the right way to open a game; what’s more, he doesn’t play just to win.
And myself.
He is already 29 years old. The best result in his career is just two men's doubles titles in the Challenger Tournament. In addition, he has entered the main draw of the Shanghai Masters for three consecutive years, but lost in the first round every time.
And then, nothing happened. That’s all. Since 2005, he has been in the professional arena for a full ten years, but he has always been stuck in the Challenge Tournament and Hope Tournament. He doesn’t even have many singles wins in the Challenge Tournament. He mostly competes with young players in the Hope Tournament.
So, what about the future?
He sees no future in professional tennis, but the funny thing is that this has been his career and source of income for the past decade.
This is his life, this is his life. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is the life of a complete loser, but to him, this is everything.
His youth, his passion, his fighting spirit, his enthusiasm, his smile and tears, all were condensed on the mustard yellow tennis ball at that moment.
The threshold of 30 years old seemed to be just around the corner. He thought more than once, where is the future? What else can he do after leaving this arena? Whether he stays or turns away, everything is at a loss, and there is no light in sight.
Even now, it is still the same.
But the difference is, he wants to seize the moment of "now", he wants to fight, he wants to burn, he wants to shine with his own light.
Not to prove anything, not to prove myself to anyone, nor for those long ten years, but just for myself and for this moment.
Perhaps, in the vast universe, he is just an insignificant speck of dust. However, even the smallest and weakest speck of dust is his entire world. He still works tirelessly and diligently to shine, and interweaves with other lights to become the brilliance of the night sky.
In real life, some people can bloom proudly, illuminating a corner like the North Star; some people are unknown but still working hard to live and struggle, they are also fighting and struggling, and they also expect that their light can become a ray of dawn that shines into someone's gloomy life.
He is also trying hard to live.
Gao Wen said, 19 years old, so what? Then he topped the list in Flushing.
Well, twenty-nine, so what?
"fighting!"
As Gao Wen shouted, Li Zhe's blood began to boil. The more extreme, difficult and dangerous the situation was, the stronger his fighting spirit became.
It is for victory, but not just for victory.
Then, clenching his fists, Li Zhe shouted softly.
"Oh!"
In this way, he cheered himself up and wanted to give it a try.
Buzz buzz buzz.
The air in the ABS stadium was surging, as if it was not until this moment that the climax of today's game was finally reached.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
In the players' dugout, everyone exchanged glances, but found that they could not concentrate at all, so they withdrew their gazes and continued to look at the court.
To some extent, Gawain was even more focused and nervous than he was standing on the court.
When players are in the game, they are actually not that nervous.
The attention is completely focused on the game, thinking about how to gamble and plan for the next point. There is no time to think about the score, and no time to be nervous or worried, otherwise the ever-changing game will quickly get out of control.
But now, they have to sit on the sidelines and can do nothing except cheer, because the initiative to change the situation is not in their hands. Chaotic thoughts are spreading in their brains, and their hearts are almost stopping.
No wonder there are so many football and basketball coaches suffering from hypertension and heart disease. It is indeed a tough job.
Suddenly, my heart started to beat faster and blocked my throat. I held my breath unconsciously. I concentrated my attention and clenched my fists so tightly that my knuckles turned slightly white: the game continues.
Zhang Ze is ready to serve.
Break point.
Outside corner!
Zhang Ze and Li Zhe chose a tactical combination, which is also one of the classic doubles routines.
Zhang Ze chose to serve from the outside corner in the second zone, creating an angle and forcing Daniel, who was responsible for receiving the serve, to serve diagonally; at the same time, Li Zhe tactically rushed to the net, moving laterally to the left and intercepting Daniel's return line, creating an effect comparable to a volleyball block and establishing an advantage.
The tactic worked!
Li Zhe made a diving header and appeared on the flight path of the tennis ball, intercepting a diagonal line and aiming at Stek who was standing in front of the net diagonally opposite and preparing to establish an advantage in front of the net.
Chase and kill!
Bang! The tennis ball rushed towards Stek's body like a missile.
Everything happened so fast that Stack was caught off guard. He had no time to think and even his reaction time was very limited.
In a split second, Stek could only rely completely on his instinctive reflex and stretched out his hand to block the blow from behind, a subconscious action.
Stop...stopped!
Unbelievably, Stek actually... stopped him!
