Chapter 110: Rising Fame

Reporter, "Gao Wen, Sampras said after the match that your future is worth looking forward to. What do you think about this?"

Gao Wen, "Huh... Lucky? It's always better to have a future worth looking forward to than one worth noting, right?"

Reporter: "Excuse me, what are your expectations for the next game?"

Gao Wen, "Don't lose?"

Reporter: "If you play first singles again, the pressure will be totally different. Do you have the confidence to face it?"

Gao Wen, "I don't know. After all, you won't know until you face it. But I will cross my fingers and pray that I won't have to go to the bathroom too often because of stress."

Reporter, "How do you feel after defeating Sacramento?"

Gao Wen, "The next game is about to begin."

Reporter: "After the game yesterday, you became very popular. Do you feel it now?"

Gao Wen, "No, not at all. Although according to normal practice, Mike and I should be the only ones preparing for training at the training ground right now."

The whole audience burst into laughter! The question-and-answer session between the reporter and Gao Wen was very efficient and smooth, just like a tennis batting practice.

No matter what the question was, he could always get a clever response, with understatement mixed with casual teasing and joking, self-deprecation, complaints, sarcasm and rebuttal. In just a few words, Gao Wen had the atmosphere of the whole venue firmly in his hands, with a shocking level of experience.

But no one could refuse - compared to official positions and social rhetoric, reporters fell in love with Gao Wen, a humorous interviewee, on the spot.

The bustling sounds dance like a symphony.

It was not until Thompson and Gillon arrived at the stadium that the reporters finally let go of Gao Wen and swarmed towards the two star players.

Turning his head, Gawain could see MacDonald's stunned expression and couldn't help but laugh, "Mac, what's wrong?"

At this moment, MacDonald realized that he had been standing next to Gawain like a bodyguard, and as a result, he witnessed the whole process for the first time. He had no time to be shy and restrained. He was already exclaiming in amazement, and his eyes were full of admiration.

"Wow, Gao Wen, you are really amazing. How did you manage not to be nervous at all when facing the reporters?"

MacDonald saw the numerous recorders swarming towards him, and his vision was filled with distorted faces. His tongue became tangled and his brain went blank. He had no idea how Gawain had done it.

"Haha, I was nervous too, but I hid it better." Gao Wen laughed happily, then secretly glanced at the reporters not far behind him, "Shh, don't let them hear it, otherwise, it will be bad next time."

Elena took a step forward and said to MacDonald, "Have you forgotten? This guy is from the journalism department. How could he be nervous when facing his future colleagues? However, judging from today's performance, it seems that our school newspaper has missed a talent."

"It's okay. Correspondingly, the tennis team has gained a talented person." Gao Wen raised his chin slightly and said proudly.

This made Elena and MacDonald both laugh.

After waiting and laughing, Elena looked Gawain up and down, then said meaningfully, "I think someone is going to be a star soon."

The upset victory in the city derby is one aspect, and the ease and humor in front of reporters is another aspect - a very important aspect. There are many players who can win, and there are also many players who can win championships, but players with charisma off the field are rare.

From a player to a star and then to a superstar, it is not enough to just be able to play basketball, you also need to have more charm.

Looking at Gawain in front of her, Elena had such a premonition.

Gao Wen did not modestly reject it, but raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Then, for this school newspaper report, I'll ask Miss Reporter to say something good about it."

There were clearly a bunch of regular newspapers right next to it, including some top media, but it had to be UCLA's own school newspaper. The contrast made Elena feel helpless and amused. She raised her chin slightly and said something in a pretentious manner.

"I'll think about it."

This made Gawain laugh heartily.

Obviously, consecutive wins over the University of Oklahoma and the University of Southern California have made UCLA the latest hot spot in the NCAA. The influx of spotlights and cheers is just the beginning. In an instant, this young tennis team is under the spotlight.

Surrounded by reporters and facing the media for the first time, the players of the Brown Bears were more or less affected. After all, such situations are rare. The attention of the spotlights also attracted more students to watch the daily training, and the air became exciting.

They were originally a group of college students, at the age of being full of passion and eager to make some moves. Suddenly, they were thrown under the spotlight, enjoying incredible attention and discussion, as if they were standing at the center of the world. It was inevitable that they were excited. Naturally, their training status also fluctuated and their attention was not very focused.

This is also a part of competitive sports that cannot be ignored.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Especially after news reports exploded on social networks, the men's tennis team also enjoyed the rare top treatment of being the center of attention.

Thompson, who is ranked first in the United States, Jillong, the prodigy favored by countless experts, and Gao Wen, the new dark horse... This team really has the capital to become a topic of discussion, and the eyes and voices focused on them are also boiling.

Not to mention the players, even Martin hasn't felt such popularity for a long time. The last time was when the team regained the US championship trophy. Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

While sighing, Martin was also a little worried. The state of young people is prone to fluctuations. Now they are under the spotlight and the focus of topic. Every move they make will cause more waves. It is inevitable that their attention will be distracted. So what should they do about their practice and competitive state?

There is indeed some impetuousness inside and outside the team.

But what surprised Martin was that Gawain's concentration did not decrease. Not only that, but he even trained more diligently and harder.

In the match against Sacramento, Gao Wen realized the weakness of his forehand and slowly started targeted training in the subsequent training.

This is really rare! This shows that Gao Wen was not blinded by victory, nor distracted by the media, and continued to train step by step. Grant was even more delighted. He took the initiative to become Gao Wen's sparring partner every day, and carried out relevant targeted training in a down-to-earth manner, sweating hard.

Under Gawain's influence, McDonald, Di Giulio and others quickly calmed down and refocused on training. The team seemed to have slowly found its focus again.

The tenth update.
