Chapter 1077 Knights Combination

Reporters, come prepared, sharpening their knives.

But Gawain is still Gawain.

He spoke lightly and effortlessly, and the initiative of the entire conversation was always firmly in the hands of Gao Wenshu. The reporters had opportunities to attack, but they were gone in a flash before they could make full use of them. Then they never had the chance to stir up trouble again. Everything happened too fast.

It's like turning one's hand to make clouds and rain to make rain.

Even though the reporter had been fighting with Gao Wen for a long time, he was still stunned at this moment.

Moreover, Gao Wen had grasped the key point accurately: California was Gao Wen's home base, second only to China. How could the local media reporters embarrass Gao Wen? Just look at the opening greeting of the Los Angeles Times reporter's question.

"Gawain, welcome home..."

Very good, the tone has been set with just one opening. If there are still reporters ready to embarrass Gao Wen at this time, they will probably find it difficult to get support.

"It's clear that the Indian Wells crowd loves you and Gregor, and countless spectators have flocked to the court just to watch you play."

"You know, social networks are now calling you the Knights. Have you heard about that?"

A harmless question.

To be precise, it is more like a casual chat after dinner rather than a question. It would be perfect with a cup of coffee and a piece of cake.

The tense, smoke-filled, and gunfire-filled atmosphere had dissipated in an instant, and the entire press conference room had a different feel.

So, who dares to disrupt such a harmonious atmosphere?

It seems that Gowan is right. Indian Wells Tennis Garden is Gowan's Melbourne Park. The bad experience he had in Melbourne will not happen here again.

Gao Wen: ??? Hearing the question, Gao Wen's head was full of question marks. He subconsciously turned to look at Dimitrov and muttered, "Don't you know that I am an old man abandoned by the times? I really don't understand what happened to social networks."

Unexpectedly, Dimitrov was also blank, with confusion written all over his eyes, and he didn't understand the reporter's question at all, "What knight combination?"

There were reporters at the scene who let out low laughter. Don't get me wrong, this was ridicule, a harsh ridicule, openly and honestly.

They knew that Gao Wen and Dimitrov were not active on social networks, but they had never expected that these two millennials born in the 1990s were so out of touch with the Internet. Ninety-nine percent of the reporters present were older than them, and now they were the ones to educate young people about what was happening on social networks?

It's really funny.

The reporter had to give an explanation, otherwise it would be like a dud in a crosstalk, and the question would not get a response.

"Because Gawain's nickname has always been the Maiden Knight, Gregor's words..."

He paused and looked towards Dimitrov, as if searching for the right words.

"...and it fits the image of a knight very well, so now netizens call you the Knight Combination, a knight combination that represents beauty and justice."

In fact, the netizens’ original words were:

Dimitrov is a handsome guy, and Gawain is a handsome guy. The combination of handsome guys is really pleasing to the eyes. They have both good looks and strength, and are definitely a beautiful sight.

This is also the reason why countless female audiences came to watch the game in person. The screams of fans are comparable to the autograph sessions of popular idols.

In addition, there are also a lot of primary school students who come to join in the fun. Even if they know only a little about tennis, it does not affect their ability to follow the latest current affairs.

Appearance has always been an indispensable part of competitive sports, and David Beckham’s brilliant success is the most typical representative case.

The same is true for tennis.

From Kournikova to Sharapova to Ivanovic, and the currently popular Bouchard, the tennis sweethearts are replaced by new ones.

Safin, Ferrer, Ancic, Lopez, Roddick and many other handsome guys are all good-looking and talented.

Entering the era of the Big Four, although the discussion on appearance has always objectively existed, the dominance of the Big Four is really too strong. Their performance on the field has become the focus, gradually overshadowing the discussion of off-field gossip, so that the discussion on appearance has cooled down a lot in recent years and seems to have disappeared from people's sight.

Among the new generation, Dimitrov is indeed a representative of both good looks and temperament. In addition, Zverev, Medvedev, Tsitsipas and others also conform to the aesthetic tastes of the general public. This also makes people realize again that tennis has always been a pleasant gentleman's sport.

Still, it can be frustrating for professional players that the public eye is so focused on off-court drama rather than their own performances.

Just like the Big Four, they silenced the media with their achievements and performances, so that discussions about their appearance became a side topic.

Now, the "Knights" have appeared, and reporters are somewhat curious about the reactions of the two players -

Especially Dimitrov.

For Gao Wen, this is not a problem. He has the confidence and courage to stand up straight and face these discussions calmly. Two Grand Slam titles are enough to fight back against doubts.

Dimitrov is not like that.

The stress of recent times has been bad enough, and the last thing he needs right now is a bunch of netizens buzzing about his looks.

Obviously, real tennis fans and professional tennis media will look at this with disdain.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This is why the Los Angeles Times reporter paused for a moment.

This is an off-field tidbit, but does Dimitrov really have nothing to do with it? Gao Wen noticed it immediately.

I noticed the reporter's pauses and gaze, and also noticed the potential chain reactions behind the topic.

Then Gawain spoke.

"It doesn't matter, sir, you can tell the truth, because someone calls me the Maiden Knight, and then someone calls Gregor the Prince Charming, so we are a knight duo."

"I won't be jealous, I swear."

As he spoke, Gawain raised his left hand, spread his broad palm, and covered Dimitrov's cheek. Is this... manual mosaic? Dimitrov didn't react at all, with a head full of question marks. He turned to look at Gawain: What's going on? Gawain, like a contestant in the "Global Beauty Pageant", showed a mouthful of white teeth to the media camera, neat and tidy, like a shark.

That fake smile perfectly illustrates the scene of "secretly doing bad things to the beauty pageant competitors but pretending to be innocent on the surface and shouting that her wish is for world peace and to continue participating in the beauty pageant."

One second. Two seconds.

Ha ha!

The whole audience burst into laughter.

Even Dimitrov's confused expression became so funny. The whole picture and scene were so hilarious.

Click, click, click!

Flash lights covered the entire venue, laughter and shutter sounds were intertwined, and even whistles and cheers could be heard. The atmosphere was really lively.

The crisis was resolved quietly.

Awesome, still awesome! It’s really awesome!

It is impossible not to admire Gawain's quick wit.
