Chapter 109: Chatting and

Laughing Elena's questions were standard and steady. They were nothing new. They could be considered standard questions asked after a victory match, giving players a chance to give an official answer. However, such standard questions brought the tense atmosphere of the interview back on track.

It was obvious that the reporters on the scene relaxed their minds a little, the atmosphere became relaxed, and their attention slackened a little.

Anyway, Gao Wen's answers were all predictable official templates, and there was nothing special to look forward to.

However, Elena noticed that there was a slight flicker in Gawain's eyes, as if he was planning something.

For a moment, Elena couldn't tell whether it was her own illusion or the refraction of sunlight falling into her pupils, and then Gawain spoke.

"Ms. Reporter, if I remember correctly, this is your second question. We should give everyone the opportunity to ask questions fairly."

"So, sorry, there's another question we need to listen to."

Huh? What? One second, two seconds... The whole audience burst into laughter! Facing the chaotic situation, Gao Wen showed his wit and flexibility, completely breaking the reporters' cognition, and he easily controlled the situation firmly in his hands.

If Gawain answered Elena's question, there would be no problem, but it would inevitably be boring - because the answer was really predictable, and the reporters' emotions would continue to be immersed in the state of frustration just now, and it would be difficult to guarantee what their pens would write.

But Gawain "rejected" Elena in an unconventional way, and the scene suddenly became funny. The tense atmosphere disappeared in an instant.

Even Elena's eyes widened, with the word "unbelievable" written all over her face. After waiting for her to react, she realized that there was laughter all around her, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

Then?

Then another reporter took over, and he also repeated Elena's question in a very formal manner. Although the words were slightly changed, the core content remained the same.

Then Gao Wen nodded slightly, showing an appreciative expression, "This reporter's question is very sharp, very good."

Hahaha, the whole audience burst into laughter again - it was the same question as Elena's, okay? But Gawain remained unmoved and focused on the question.

"In fact, we didn't pay attention to the ranking of singles, but focused on potential opponents. Sacramento is undoubtedly a tough opponent. Whether it's me, Thompson, Giron, or Mike, we need to be highly vigilant and go all out when we play against Sacramento."

"Coach Martin hopes that I can bring some unexpected factors to impact Sacramento. Thompson and Gillon also gave me a lot of advice in training. I am looking forward to finding a way to fight against Sacramento on the court. That's all."

"As I said before, we are all players standing on the court, but we are all part of a team. Behind every game we can see the results of the unity of the entire team."

Smooth, light, generous and decent.

At this moment, Gao Wen did not show his aggressive attitude at all. He blurred the reporter's questions in a clever way and answered from the perspective of the team as a whole. Although it was an official routine, it made people feel a more specific and vivid friendly attitude. His words firmly grasped everyone's attention.

Then, the subject changed.

"Of course, I'm happy now that people finally know my name instead of 'the cool guy from the Bruins.'"

Gawain shrugged slightly, boasting in a teasing manner.

The reporters looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they really didn't want to show their support and refused to smile, they couldn't help but lift up the corners of their mouths slightly.

It must be said that Gao Wen was really good at dealing with reporters.

From the initial tension to the current cheerful conversation, it is hard to believe that everything happened in just five minutes.

However, the reporters are all smart people. They don’t have the memory of a goldfish, and it is impossible for them to follow Gawain’s script completely. Accidents happen again.

"Gao Wen, after the game, you went to the other side of the court to help Saramento up. Some people criticized you for being soft-hearted towards your city's mortal enemy. What do you want to say to that?"

It was obviously a provocative remark. Gawain spent countless efforts to resist the urge to roll his eyes and said with a smile.

"Since you are the winner, you should naturally show your magnanimity and broad-mindedness."

Gao Wen knew that the other party didn't want to hear words like "on and off the court are two different things" and "ethical qualities in competitive sports", so he blocked his reply with one sentence. Sure enough, the other party asked another question as expected.

"You mean, if we fail, we won't need to be magnanimous and broad-minded?"

Falling into the trap!

Gao Wen forced out a fake smile, and his fake smile was obvious. "If we lose, we have to show our tolerance and broad-mindedness. Otherwise, we will be hounded and asked if we can't afford to lose. That would be really embarrassing. So, if we lose, we have to show our tolerance and broad-mindedness even if we have to perform like an Oscar winner."

He was complaining about the reporters implicitly in his words - no matter whether he went to help Sacramento or not, the reporters would have something to say, just like whether he won or lost, the reporters could find fault.

Well……

The reporter who asked the question was hit hard by Gao Wen's combination of punches. His subsequent words were stuck and he was unable to react for a while.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But even with this little moment of distraction, I could faintly hear low sneers surging around me.

For journalists, they don’t care whether it is the interviewee or their colleagues who are embarrassed. As long as there is a hot topic or a gimmick, it can become material for reporting, even if it makes their colleagues laugh at them.

Now you can imagine the online news that will come later.

"Reporters on the scene tried to find faults with the young players."

"A reporter tried to sow discord but was silenced by Gao Wen's rebuttal."

"Gao Wen performed noble actions in line with sports ethics after the game, but was questioned by reporters. Is this a loss of morality or a distortion of human nature?"

"Gao Wen bravely fought back against the journalist's provocation, showing a rare magnanimity and generosity."

"The Bruins win the city derby, the Trojans lose both the game and the game -- USC reporter tries to attack the Bruins' victory hero after the game."

No matter what the specific situation is, the blame will be put on the reporter, and then the news will break.

In a flash, the atmosphere at the scene changed again and again. In just three to five minutes, the situation changed several times. While being dumbfounded, one had to admire Gao Wen's ability to remain calm in the face of adversity. Not only did he not embarrass himself, but he also tricked the reporter.

Wait, is this guy really a freshman? Where's the rookie? Where's the new guy? Something's not right.

Ninth update.
