Chapter 1983 Happy Moment
- Not only the fans, but Zhan Jun was also a little nervous. It had been a long time since he had this feeling. It was comparable to the World Cup and the Olympics, and his heart was beating wildly.
The greater the hope, the more nervous you become, because expectations are also rising.
"The most important thing for Gao Wen now is to keep a balanced mentality."
"As long as he performs normally, I believe the outcome will be clear; but the key now is that Gao Wen needs to focus on himself and put the pressure aside."
“This is not easy.”
Zhan Jun also took a deep breath.
"But we all know that Gao Wen has experienced countless big games and has proven himself time and again in tough competitions."
"Before the Davis Cup play-offs, Gawain also said in an interview that he is looking forward to representing his country at the London Olympics next year. It will be a completely different feeling to step onto the field with the five-star red flag on his chest. He is looking forward to winning glory for his country."
"It's just a small test right now."
"We should trust Gawain."
Fifty million... one hundred million... or even more.
It's not just the audience who are watching the live broadcast in front of the TV at this moment, but it carries the weight of a country. The Davis Cup World Group play-off match between China and the Czech Republic, the final decisive battle, the two sides stepped onto the field, slowly kicked off, and the ultimate showdown is about to begin.
Facts once again prove that
Gawain was still the Gawain they were familiar with.
As a player with a big heart and a big game, Gao Wen's concentration and commitment in crucial moments have undoubtedly been tested time and time again.
The more critical the moment, the better the performance; the closer one is to the edge of a cliff, the calmer one can remain; one can burst out 120% or even 200% of the energy, pushing the game to a whole new level; the desire to challenge the opponent, the desire to challenge the limit, and the desire to challenge oneself; this is the true nature of high-level players.
Today is no exception.
After Zhang Ze struggled to win a victory, Gao Wen's condition was directly pushed to the maximum value, showing absolute concentration from the opening stage.
Facing Vesely, who put aside his burdens and fought with his back to the wall and performed above his level, even though his opponent's shots were violent, solid and impactful enough, Gawain still firmly grasped the initiative, not only showing his strength, but also his calmness and maturity, with his entire competitive state in full swing.
"7:5", "6:2", "6:2".
The first set was extremely close and tense, but at the crucial moment, Gao Wen was still one step ahead and showed the absolute dominance of a Grand Slam champion.
After that, the match was completely in Gawain's rhythm. He completely controlled the situation in the last two sets and did not give Vesely any chance to counterattack.
Winning in three straight sets.
The total score is "3:2", the victory belongs to China——
On the last match point, Gawain scored the winning point with an "inside-out" forehand diagonal shot. The absolutely powerful shot pinned Vesely to the backhand position, leaving him without any chance. He won the game in a clean and tidy manner, eliminating all suspense and surprises.
It’s so refreshing!
"ah!"
Gawain jumped high up and raised his fist into the air.
From the depths of his soul and from his blood, he released energy in a mighty way. Although his two games were exceptionally easy, at least judging from the scores, the pressure behind the games was unimaginable, especially since the game in which Zhang Ze was standing precariously on the edge of a cliff was really too difficult.
finally!
Until now, they were finally able to release all of it! In an instant, the crowd was in an uproar.
In the players' rest area, Zhang Ze, who had just finished his recovery training, was the first to rush into the court. He cheered, screamed, and jumped. He opened his arms and hugged Gao Wen tightly. As he shouted, his eyes were inexplicably filled with tears.
This should be a happy moment, but why can't I stop crying?
“I won.”
“Win!”
"We did it, finally."
"For the first time in the history of the Davis Cup, China will advance to the World Group finals. Next year, they will step onto the world stage and compete with top players for the championship."
"It's just like when China qualified for the World Cup finals in 2002. We've been waiting for this day for so long that we thought it would never happen."
“But now, here we are.”
"Gao Wen, Zhang Ze, Li Zhe, Zhang Zhizhen, Wu Di, this is a very young team, with players born in the 1990s and even 1995s as the main players. We have reason to believe that the new chapter of Chinese men's tennis has just begun."
"Dear audience, dear audience, the game is over, the final score is '3:2', we defeated the third seed of Davis Cup and entered the world group for the first time."
As he spoke, Zhan Jun's voice began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.
In fact, there are countless words in my mind. The US Open a week ago and the Davis Cup a week later, they are experiencing a dream time. Because of Gawain's breakthrough, and because Gawain, as a leader, is leveraging the landscape of the entire sport, changes are happening.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Just imagining it makes my heart surge and my blood boil.
This is just the beginning.
Zhan Jun's excitement is just the tip of the iceberg, and it is simply incomparable to the frenzy on social networks. With three thousand comments flooding the screen every second, the traffic of the Davis Cup has been pushed to an unprecedented height.
From badminton to table tennis, and now tennis, the cohesion and spiritual strength brought by a leader is far beyond imagination. Gao Wen's strength and Zhang Ze's persistence complement each other. Including Li Zhe and Zhang Zhizhen's hard work, and Wu Di's companionship, everyone is changing.
Perhaps, opening the door to the world's competitive stage is just a small step. With China's current capabilities, it is impossible to compete for the Davis Cup championship. But if it is not possible now, who can guarantee that it will not be possible in the future?
They have stepped onto a step, a crucial step. This is just the first step in qualitative change, and the future is promising.
Everything all comes from one person——
"Gawain, fight."
In less than fifteen minutes, this topic tag had rocketed into the hot search list.
Moreover, after another fifteen minutes, the topic tag surpassed "China Davis Cup advances to the world group" and quickly topped the list.
Sweeping the enemy's territory, Gawain's influence is truly demonstrated!
In 2011, Yao Ming retired.
In 2014, Li Na retired.
In 2015, Liu Xiang retired.
For the Chinese market, there was a brief gap in the leading figures of competitive sports. They urgently needed a player who could have a profound influence in the international arena to step forward. A series of figures emerged in swimming, table tennis, badminton, gymnastics, diving and other projects, but no one expected that Gao Wen would emerge in the end.
The right time, the right place and the right people.
Step by step, Gao Wen has become the new leader with one championship after another, one game after another, and perfect performance on and off the court.
Not only in tennis, but in the entire competitive sports market, Gawain's influence and appeal have reached a new peak. The historic breakthrough in the Davis Cup has become the final moment to promote qualitative change, evolving into traffic in a mighty way and demonstrating his comprehensive strength in an overwhelming manner.
A superstar is born.
