Chapter 389 Pre-match preparation

One is a realistic portrayal of "Bao Jianfeng is born from grinding", and he shined at the Australian Open at the beginning of the year as a late bloomer, writing an inspirational myth of competitive sports as a dark horse.

One is a fairy tale creator who suddenly emerged and became famous overnight. Just two weeks ago, no one had ever heard of him, but he created countless histories in Flushing.

"Wawrinka vs. Gawain"! The powerful clash of the two hotly debated figures, coupled with the drama brought about by the difference in their respective experiences, is even more exciting. It will undoubtedly become one of the focus matches of the round of 16.

Although we were not able to enter the Arthur Ashe Stadium, as the main event of the Louis Armstrong Stadium, it ended the day's fierce competition, which also shows the importance of the event organizers.

Not only the media, but even Gao Wen himself is eager to try.

It is not just about winning, but more about challenging and breaking through yourself. Just like the Olympic slogan of "Higher, Faster and Farther", the ultimate meaning of competitive sports is to constantly break through your own limits and achieve self-transcendence.

If you want to do this, you must continue to challenge the peak.

The match against Wawrinka is the best opportunity to test Gawain's current strength. It is also the perfect stage for Gawain to realize his dream. Maybe Wawrinka is not in the best competitive state now, but for Gawain, this is a mountain that towers into the clouds.

Moreover, he was ready to conquer.

However, before officially entering the game, Gao Wen still has one thing to do: add points.

Since the start of the US Open, the intensity of daily training has dropped significantly. In order to avoid injuries and to avoid excessive exertion during training that would affect the state of the game, the entire training is focused on maintaining quality, but the quantity and intensity have been adjusted. As a result, the natural improvement of physical attributes has stopped.

There was no change in the physical and technical attributes, but after the match against Kyrgios, the mental attributes increased a little.

Sure enough, the rumors were true.

It is never an easy task to play against Kyrgios at any time. Even if you defeat Kyrgios, it is a double test of your physical strength and energy; and if you are not careful, you may be defeated by Kyrgios - the most annoying thing is that Kyrgios is so relaxed, as if he has not made any effort at all.

After losing to Gawain, Kyrgios went to a New York nightclub to get drunk that night and enjoyed the nightlife in this bustling city. He even got drunk and caused trouble in the nightclub. Fortunately, the incident did not become a big deal, but it still spread on social networks, causing another stir.

Although the intensity of daily training has decreased, the intensity of training through competition has definitely increased. This is still the best way for young players to grow quickly:

The growth potential value has reached the maximum value four times again.

Four times, compared with the period after breaking through the bottleneck, the pace of growth has slowed down significantly, especially when the intensity and difficulty of the game increase. It is foreseeable that the growth rate will slow down further in the future. After all, the room for improving strength is getting narrower and narrower.

But don't forget that in the entire week in New York, Gao Wen only played three games. From this perspective, the growth rate of the growth potential value is still very encouraging.

So, how should the bonus points be allocated?

After careful consideration, Gao Wen added three points to the physical attributes and one point to the technical attributes.

The main reason is that the opponent is Wawrinka.

Indeed, in the match against Wawrinka, rhythm control, rotation changes, tactical combinations, etc. are very, very important. This is also the only way to suppress Wawrinka's offensive rhythm; but it must be noted that if an effective confrontation cannot be formed on the defensive end, then the ball will be lost before the layout is launched.

After all, Wawrinka is not like Kyrgios who only has three tricks. His strong attack may have a fifth, sixth and even more, so he can rely on continuous attacks to tear apart Djokovic's control ability covering the entire court.

In other words, the physical confrontation must be withstood first before the advantage on the technical level can be discovered. Otherwise, it would be like Murray, who had an absolute advantage in tactical awareness but still could not withstand Wawrinka's offensive.

Based on this consideration, Gawain completed the points allocation. After the points were added—

Physical attributes: 83 Technical attributes: 85 Mental attributes: 89 Little by little, Gawain's attribute composition is also changing quietly, and the physical attributes that were once far behind have caught up.

Next, if the growth potential continues to be full, we should focus on technical attributes.

After all, Gawain's game style is still based on the brain. He can't do it like Kerbert, who just suppresses the opponent without caring about the consequences. Now that all his attributes have reached a certain level, he should continue to grow according to his own unique style and finally become unique.

So what will Wawrinka's match look like? …

Buzz buzz buzz.

Buzz buzz buzz.

The match schedule in large stadiums is not that dense. There will be a 30-minute break between each game to ensure that the spectators can leave and enter the stadium freely and the staff have enough time to tidy up the stadium. Only rarely when a day's schedule is delayed for too long, the break time will be slightly shortened according to the on-site conditions.

Jiang Yanyun was still a little uncomfortable when he sat down in the players' box.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This is the first time that Louis Armstrong Stadium has been built. The whole space and structure feel different. Visually, it seems to be more spacious and colder than Arthur Ashe Stadium, and the entire lines are tougher; but in fact, the stadium is smaller, and the distance between the spectator stands and the stadium is closer.

Jiang Yanyun was a little nervous.

She knew it was because her opponent was too strong, and also because she began to have expectations. Once hope arose, the tension of fear of gain and loss would intensify.

Moreover, Louis Armstrong's three games today progressed very quickly, with all the winners decided by straight scores, which also made the start time of the fourth game a little earlier. Originally, it was thought that we would have to wait until at least 5:30, but in the end, we could enter the venue before 4:30.

Naturally, the players' preparation and warm-up will inevitably be slightly affected. If it is a player like Wawrinka who has experienced many ups and downs, he will certainly not be afraid, but Gawain has very little match experience, so I am afraid the impact will be more obvious.

Gao Hongli seemed to sense his wife's nervousness and patted her right hand.

"Relax, Pete has been with Xiao Wu the whole time. He is experienced enough, so don't worry. Besides, I don't think Xiao Wu is nervous at all. He was even humming a song just now."

Jiang Yanyun exhaled lightly and complained, "Of course Xiao Wu is not nervous, so he is the player standing on the court, and I am the family member sitting in the player's box."

Gao Hongli couldn't help but chuckle, but before he could reply, he saw Tobias appear with a few friends. He was slightly stunned and blurted out a call.

“Andre…”
