Chapter 43 There is a legend

The charity exhibition match ended with applause and cheers.

However, neither the process nor the results are completely satisfactory.

The match between Sharapova and Venus went smoothly without any problems. Not only that, but they also won a standing ovation, which brought the day's exhibition match to a perfect end.

Sharapova showed a strong desire to win. Even though it was just a charity exhibition match, she wanted to test her hitting ability after returning from injury, so she played very actively and proactively throughout the game, basically treating it as a formal match.

On the other hand, Venus was very considerate of the audience and did not forget the mission of entertaining the public in the exhibition match. It's not that she was perfunctory in the game and passive, but she might not have tried her best in some extreme receiving shots, or some chance shots were more risky, and she would express her regret exaggeratedly after making mistakes.

The atmosphere was very lively.

In the end, Sharapova won, and the result was not surprising - just as McDonald predicted.

However, the match between Kyrgios and Raonic seemed...absurd.

In fact, Raonic is also a very methodical player. For example, his shot lines are usually not unexpected or unrestrained. For example, when batting against a opponent, he always tries his best to return the ball.

In Kyrgios's eyes, this is obviously boring.

Therefore, Kyrgios's playing seemed... chaotic, with passive hitting, random hitting, inexplicable mistakes flying all over the place, as if he had endless anger that he wanted to vent. There was no routine or method in his hitting, and the whole game was absurd and there was no excitement at all.

In just thirty-five minutes, Kyrgios lost the match.

Although this was an exhibition match and it was understandable that the players did not try their best, such a messy match was not at all entertaining.

The audience booed Kyrgios again.

This time, Kyrgios did not get angry, but simply "gave up hitting the ball". In the next point, facing Raonic's shot, he was too lazy to even pretend, and stood there like a wooden stake, clearly not wanting to hit the ball. This made Raonic at a loss, not knowing whether the game should continue.

The boos from the audience got even louder.

But Kyrgios still goes his own way and is nonchalant.

The host tried his best to smooth things over, but the atmosphere still felt like a car accident. The scene was so awkward that people wanted to turn around and leave.

Fortunately, Kyrgios did not conflict with the audience, and the game ended hastily. Later, Sharapova and Venus came on stage to save the atmosphere.

The organizers are also very upset. It is conceivable that for a long, long time in the future, no one will invite Kyrgios to attend a charity exhibition match.

But here, Gao Wen still completed his daily strength training step by step, but he did not enter the orange state today, because he had classes in the afternoon and could not stay in the gym for too long. After finishing the training, he ended the class, went to bed on time at night, and then returned to normal the next morning.

Wake up naturally without an alarm and start a new day.

When Gawain arrived at the training ground, he was very surprised to see that most of his teammates were already there. Usually Gawain and McDonald were the first to open the door to the training ground, so what happened today?

So much so that Gao Wen couldn't help but look at the clock. Did he read the time wrong and was late?

But, no.

Gawain arrived at his usual time, so what happened? Before Gawain could ask, Thompson was the first to rush over, with an expression of admiration and respect on her face, pulling Gawain's arm and shaking it like a fangirl.

"Gawain, Gawain, Gawain, tell us what happened yesterday?"

"Did you really beat Kyrgios? The Australian genius?"

"And there are rumors that you beat him up? Is that true or not?"

After rocking for a while, they finally reached the Grandma Bridge. Gawain couldn't bear it anymore and patted Thompson's arm. "Clay, Clay, if you rock me again, I'm going to get seasick."

Thompson laughed happily, and the gong-like laughter hit Gawain's eardrums, causing a dull pain.

Gao Wen was genuinely surprised.

Yesterday, it was just a charity exhibition match. The so-called victory or defeat really has no reference value, not to mention that it was just a five-point duel.

But Gao Wen also knew that the rumor was just hearsay. There were countless true and false statements on social networks, and it became an urban legend as it was passed around. Everyone knew it was false, but they still enjoyed gossiping about it, and no one cared about the truth.

Gao Wen was somewhat helpless. "It seems that you all know more about this matter than I do. So, does my answer still matter?"

However, he did not expect that this sentence would immediately cause a huge uproar, and teammates all swarmed over one by one, chattering.

"I heard that you beat Kyrgios so badly that he couldn't even hold his head up. The Australian genius is just a bunch of nonsense. He is nothing in front of you."

"Yeah, that's what I heard too. They said Kyrgios couldn't get a single ball back. You just crushed your opponent and taught him a good lesson."

"I heard that Kyrgios was beaten by Gawain with one shot even when he hit the ball with all his strength. It felt like he was playing against an elementary school student."

"I also heard that Kyrgios had a physical altercation with you."

"Hmm? The version I heard was that Kyrgios got into a fight with the audience."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Yeah, that's what I heard, and then Kyrgios almost got into a fight with Williams."

What? What? Why is it getting more and more outrageous? Gao Wen was sweating profusely.

What does it mean that he beat Kyrgios to a pulp? He is not Tyson, how can he be so good? And Kyrgios is said to be useless, while he is the god. How can this be compared?

But they all spoke with such confidence, as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes and knew it better than Gao Wen, the person involved.

It's really laughable.

No, this matter is getting more and more outrageous. Gao Wen feels that he needs to clarify it, otherwise he doesn’t know how the matter will turn out. He might become a monster with three heads and six arms.

However, Gawain was still a beat too late.

"Mike, hey, Mike, there you are!"

"Tell me, what happened yesterday? Did Gawain completely defeat Kyrgios?"

What was going on? Why did they ask MacDonald when Gawain was standing by? MacDonald had just arrived at the stadium and was surrounded by people. He didn't even know what was going on when he was surrounded by Thompson, Sale and others.

"Ah? What?"

"Yesterday, Kyrgios."

MacDonald only grasped the key words and cast a puzzled look at Gawain, as if to say: Aren't you here? Why are they asking me?

But McDonald didn't wait for Gawain to speak, he nodded and gave a positive answer, "Yes, Gawain defeated Kyrgios 5:0 yesterday..."

"Wait, it's not what you think..." Gao Wen tried to explain, but his voice was cut off by the cheers and roars of his teammates.

Uh, classmates, please don’t climax so quickly, okay?
