Chapter 354: Smoke of Gunfire In

the second round, although Gao Wen and Burley teamed up to present a classic duel and create history again, it was a pity for Wang Dalei——

No one else could have been there with him to witness this inspiring battle.

After the game, Wang Dalei used his own strength to call on Chinese fans in New York, hoping that some fans would arrive at the scene to cheer for Gao Wen, and also hoped that they could become Gao Wen's strong backing to continue climbing to the top.

"We need to let him know that he is not fighting alone."

Then, Wang Dalei did it.

Although there were only twenty people, a small corner easily lit up the Arthur Ashe Stadium, like a lighthouse in the vast ocean, guiding the way forward. Without words, it spoke louder than words, using colors and actions to convey the determination to fight side by side. In an instant, the huge Arthur Ashe Stadium became friendly and warm.

What's more, there are more Chinese fans at the Arthur Ashe Stadium tonight than just Wang Dalei and his group. You can see sparse spots of red scattered in different corners of the stadium. More and more fans are focusing their attention on this young player who has repeatedly created miracles and are coming to the scene to cheer for him.

But when they saw Wang Dalei's five-star red flag, they all expressed regret and regret that they were not able to join in and truly unite as a force, especially when the fanatical Australian fans dominated the stadium.

In terms of the popularity and popularity of tennis, China certainly cannot compare with Australia, and Australia also has a longer and deeper tennis heritage. Both men and women have Grand Slam titles in singles and doubles, and have a number of Hall of Fame-level legendary players throughout history, so Australian fans can be seen in different tours around the world.

Moreover, they are known for being crazy.

Unity, enthusiasm, publicity, noise, and passion, these are the labels of Australian fans. Every year, we can even see fans complaining at the three Grand Slams other than the Australian Open that Australian fans are too noisy, but they still go their own way.

Tonight is no exception.

A group of fans lined up neatly. Each of them took off their T-shirts, painted their faces the iconic yellow and green of the Australian flag, and then wrote letters on their chests, one for each person, which together formed the words "Kyrgios! Go!" Everyone wore an exaggerated kangaroo hat, and they could easily attract the attention of the entire audience just by standing up in unison.

"Go! Nick! Go!"

"Go! Nick! Go!"

The Australian fans were cheering at the top of their lungs, severely suppressing the enthusiasm of the Chinese fans. Not only the players, but also the fans could feel the sparks of tit-for-tat.

On the court, Gawain and Kyrgios had completed the pre-match friendly handshake and photo session, and then completed the coin toss under the guidance of the referee.

Kyrgios guessed heads and elected to serve first.

Because the referee was right next to him, Kyrgios did not say much. Instead, he pouted his lips, raised his chin, and slowly stroked his throat with his right thumb, making a throat-cutting gesture. His eyes flashed with mockery, contempt, and provocation, as if he could smell the blood.

Then.

hey-hey.

Kyrgios showed his neat white teeth to Gawain and grinned. With just one action and one smile, he mocked Gawain.

So what did Gawain do? The referee was standing to Gawain's left, so Gawain raised his right hand, touched his cheek as if wiping sweat, raised his middle finger to Kyrgios, raised his chin slightly, glanced at Kyrgios with disdain, and rubbed his nose with his middle finger, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Kyrgios was instantly enraged, "You!"

"Kyrgios!" the referee immediately shouted, and issued a warning, "Don't think I didn't see those unsportsmanlike actions. I am giving you a verbal warning now. Please pay attention to your words and actions."

Kyrgios was so aggrieved that he exploded, "Sir, he provoked me, but you blamed me instead of him? Are you sure this is not racial discrimination?"

The referee glared at Kyrgios, then slowly gestured to Gawain, "If you continue to talk nonsense, I will report you for racial discrimination and impose relevant penalties."

racism?

Is Kyrgios sure he knows who his opponent is? Looking at Gawain's bright and harmless smile, he looks like one of the world's top ten young people, and then Kyrgios's curse word is stuck in his throat: F**K.

Then, Kyrgios couldn't help it after all, he took a step forward and yelled at Gawain angrily.

"I will crush you into pieces."

After saying that, Kyrgios ignored the angry look on the referee's face, turned around and strode towards the baseline.

The referee looked at Kyrgios' back deeply, then turned to look at Gawain without saying anything, nodded politely, and then turned to the referee's chair.

Although the referee cannot be partial to the game, Kyrgios' behavior has touched the referee's psychological bottom line, which has inevitably affected the progress of the game.

Gao Wen, however, was very calm. He nodded to the referee calmly, then turned and walked to the baseline to prepare for pre-match warm-ups.

Gawain is not a person who likes to stir up trouble. When it comes to competitive sports, he just stays on the field and competes, winning the victory fairly and making the opponent shut up. But if the opponent has already provoked him, then Gawain is definitely not the type to swallow his anger.

However, Gawain managed to keep himself calm and steady, and when he turned to the warm-up phase, he was already focused.

Kyrgios is a very, very dangerous opponent. Maybe he is not likable because of his trouble-making and rebellious character, but we have to admit that he does have the ability to beat any player.

Even the Big Four have to go all out when facing Kyrgios. Even if the Big Four defeat Kyrgios, they are often seriously injured. This is why Kyrgios is called the "draw bomb". No one can stay relaxed when facing Kyrgios.

Gao Wen was a little excited.

In the last exhibition match, he won five points in a row, which was actually largely due to luck and fluke. If he did it again, he would definitely not be able to replicate it. But now nine months have passed, and he has been completely transformed. So now is the time to test his upper limit——

Perhaps Kyrgios is a touchstone, an opponent more elusive and uncontrollable than Isner.

Strategically you need to despise your opponent, and tactically you need to take your opponent seriously.

In this match, Gawain needs to show himself to the fullest without reservation and seek higher self-breakthroughs, otherwise Kyrgios' words will come true: "I particularly like the sight of others hating me but losing to me."
