Chapter 212 Mutual Appreciation
Ahhh!
Ahhh!
Gu Xiao jumped up high in a frenzy, screaming and shouting like a madman, his brain was like an erupting volcano, releasing energy continuously, every cell in his body exploded into fireworks, jumping and screaming without reservation.
Because it's the only way to vent your emotions.
Gao Wen did it! Gao Wen really did it! After winning the U.S. Championship team championship, he also won the U.S. Championship singles championship, becoming not only the first Chinese player to win the singles championship, but also the first Asian player to win both championships.
What was even more incredible was that after arriving in Athens, Gao Wen won 24 games in a row, maintaining his undefeated record on both fronts and perfectly ascending to the championship throne! Unbelievable!
Countless emotions surged in Gu Xiao's mind, but words could not fully express them at this moment. The only thing he could do was scream and jump.
Express your joy and happiness in the simplest and most primitive way.
Looking around, Gu Xiao could see similar faces, blooming with excitement, distorted with excitement, and their rosy cheeks ignited a touch of red clouds on the horizon, spreading out majestically, and then he heard a shout from the crowd.
"Gawain!"
Looking in the direction of the sound, Gu Xiao could see McDonald, Thompson and others standing shoulder to shoulder, hugging and celebrating with each other, and then shouting Gawain's name in unison.
The surging warmth almost burst through Gu Xiao's eyes, but he didn't care. He just smiled wantonly, then opened the video call of the chat group, and aimed the camera at the splendid scene in front of him, allowing his friends in his hometown on the other side of the Pacific Ocean to witness history together.
"Gawain!"
"Gawain!"
"Gawain!"
The whole audience roared!
The chat group had already fallen into a frenzy, but Qiao Wangsheng couldn't help but be stunned -
Win... win? Actually win?
Even though Qiao Wangsheng had secretly imagined this scene, he was still completely stunned when it actually happened. His confused mind simply couldn't believe that all this was really happening.
It doesn't feel real.
Before the spring season kicked off, who could have imagined that a dark horse freshman would play the role of a surprise soldier, advance in both team and singles competitions, become the double champion of this season, and leave a strong mark with his flawless performance.
Moreover, he is from China.
The 2013-2014 season was undoubtedly full of suspense and magic, and was further enhanced by Gao Wen's incredible rise.
The whole audience was boiling!
Jilong stood there, the sudden sadness made his nose feel a little sore and his eyes turned slightly red.
He truly thought he could come back strong and become the champion. He truly believed he could defeat Gawain fairly and prove himself, but in the end...
Ah, I'm so unwilling.
The hot tears burst out of my eyes.
But Jilong took a deep breath, then raised his head and looked at the cheers and applause that swept the entire audience. Although they were shouting Gawain's name, Jilong knew that he also had a part to play behind this glory.
Failure? He hated failure, but it was precisely this unbearable feeling that made Jilong truly confirm his passion and madness deep in his heart.
He loved tennis so much, he loved the court so much.
He has also truly determined his own ideas. He hopes to continue fighting. After the season, he, like Thompson, will turn to the professional track.
Maybe, in the future, these Brown Bears teammates will be able to meet on the court again, with Thompson, Gao Wen, and him. They will laugh and discuss the summer of 2014, and then go to the court again to fight it out in an upright manner.
This is not the end, this is just the beginning.
Then, a smile blossomed at the corner of his mouth, blooming among the tears.
Jilong let out a long breath and looked to the other side of the court.
Gawain seemed exhausted and kept sitting on the ground without standing up. In fact, Jilong's steps were so heavy that he could hardly support himself. Both of them had really exhausted all their energy in this game, but he was still slightly better than Gawain, so he started to take a step forward.
Gillon came to the other side of the court, opened his arms, gave Gao Wen a warm hug, and spoke loudly.
“Whoever performed better today wins the championship.”
Despite the bitterness, the look was so sincere, and Jilong really meant it.
Gao Wen raised his head and looked at Jilong, whose eyes were slightly red.
A wonderful duel cannot be completed by only one party. Although he won the victory, it is because competitive sports must have a result.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Someone lost the game today and someone won the game, but there were no losers today."
Gawain patted Jilong's back heavily, then smiled brightly and made another joking remark.
"Be careful, next time we meet, I still won't miss the victory."
Jilong pursed his lips and said confidently, "If you expect me to let you go, you will be disappointed."
The two men exchanged glances and burst into laughter. Without words, they knew that their careers had just begun.
In fact, this is a beginning.
Then, Jilong stretched out his right hand, pulled Gao Wen up, and the two men bumped shoulders with each other again and laughed happily.
Looking up, golden sunlight was pouring down from the sky and the whole audience was shouting "Gawain's" name. Jilong had already turned around and left, and took the initiative to applaud Gawain, leaving the stage to Gawain.
Gawain raised his head slightly, looking at the raging waves in front of him, finding it hard to believe.
Just half a year ago, he returned to the court, regained his healthy knees, and began to chase that unrealistic dream in the sun again. Then, in a blink of an eye, the dream turned into reality.
Gao Wen knew that maybe in the future, he would have many glorious moments - maybe not, but what was certain was that these were some of the most beautiful and touching moments in his life, not only because of the championship trophy, but also because he finally truly believed that his dream could come true.
This moment and this scene were deeply imprinted in Gao Wen's mind, becoming a beautiful footnote to his youth.
In comparison, the presentation of the championship trophy later was not as exciting as expected. The surging emotions calmed down and the fiery brain cooled down. It was only when Gawain saw that the special guest presenting the championship trophy was Sampras that he became excited again.
No wonder Sampras was not the commentator for ESPN today. It turns out that he was responsible for another job, and it was such an important job.
The moment he received the trophy from Sampras and held it high, Gawain truly believed that he was on top of the world. He loved such moments.
Who doesn’t like champions ?
