Chapter 430: Spinning Around the Pillar
It was over, everything was over, and it ended in such a way, an incredible and magical way to end this game.
Kei Nishikori could feel the pull of gravity as he fell heavily to the ground, but he did not feel any pain. Only deep fatigue and depression burned in his stomach. He lay on the ground motionless, as if the sunset glow all over the world was swallowing him up.
Then, the referee's voice came to my ears: "Game, high..."
The sound at the back was quickly drowned out by the earth-shaking cheers and screams from the entire stadium. The heat wave like a tsunami poured down and submerged the entire Arthur Ashe Stadium. It was crazy, everyone went crazy, a madness like losing their minds, and created a huge sound like a volcanic eruption.
Ahhh! Ahhh! Gu Xiao jumped, screamed, and roared like a madman, with only one thought stirring in his mind:
Winner!
Really won!
They were there to witness history once again! Gao Wen defeated the hot-tempered Kei Nishikori in four sets, becoming the first Asian to reach the semifinals of a Grand Slam!
On the match point, both Gawain and Kei Nishikori had pushed their opponents to the extreme, but at the crucial moment, Gawain gritted his teeth and withstood Kei Nishikori's desperate fight, completing the "outside-in" miracle with an incredible return shot around the post, and firmly grasped the victory at the first match point!
One round around the post, one turn, a way of hitting the ball that breaks the conventional thinking, a thunderous hammering into the blind corner, completely killing the suspense of the game.
Unbelievable!
It was incredible! On the Arthur Ashe Stadium, Gawain, who was lying on the ground with his legs split, stood up with his hands, jumped up high, roared, jumped up again, roared, and celebrated with passion and blood boiling, venting his suppressed breath without reservation.
“Ouch!”
Jump! Roar! Release!
Gawain's figure soared into the sky, as if he could soar into the wind with his arms outstretched, his wanton and brilliant smile blooming without reservation.
Gu Xiao was the first one who couldn't contain his emotion and let out a wolf howl. Then Wang Dalei joined him, and then millions of viewers also joined in.
Qiao Wangsheng was staring at the passionate dark blue figure on the court through the TV screen. It was not until his vision blurred that he realized that tears had unknowingly filled his eyes.
The miracle they had been waiting for finally happened. That young man, who was only eighteen years old, was responsible for carrying the splendor of the five-star red flag throughout the venue.
From the unimaginable Grand Slam main draw victory to the historic first Asian semi-final, this journey has been so magical and wonderful, it was as if an active volcano had appeared in my chest, and happiness was erupting and releasing continuously.
Then Qiao Wangsheng started to roar like a madman, forgetting everything else.
“Ouch!”
“Ouch!”
He is a madman, he is a madman, and he doesn't mind being a madman.
At this moment, all the fans in front of the screens of all sizes could no longer control their excitement and excitement, and all howled together, responding to the figure that was blooming freely and standing proudly on the court, and gave the most moving and refreshing shouts from the depths of their souls.
Oooooh!
The sound waves were rolling! Gao Wen pounded his chest heavily, his knees were actually a little weak, and he tried his best to clench his fists to control his uncontrollable trembling fingers. He looked up at the five-star red flag flying freely in the audience, his heart was surging, and then his smile bloomed completely.
Winner!
He won! But more important than the semifinals, he is here - Djokovic? Or Murray? But no matter who the opponent in the next round is, his wildest and most brilliant dream is about to come true. He is about to stand on the world's largest stadium and challenge the top player in the current men's professional tennis! No matter who it is, he is here! He can't wait to get involved in the next game and face the most exciting and rare challenge in his career! No matter who it is, he is here! He has been waiting for this moment for too long, just like Don Quixote, holding his spear and challenging the giant in the illusion!
He's ready! "Ouch!"
Gawain pounded his chest hard, issued his own challenge, stood before them with dignity and charged, roaring with all his might.
Then, he jumped high and rushed towards the net, where Kei Nishikori was slowly approaching the net with his head down. His deep disappointment could be felt throughout his body.
This should have been the moment for Kei Nishikori to make history and break through himself, but today he lost to Gawain, and it was such a close match. The pain was so severe that he could feel the sharpness penetrating into his bones even with his breathing.
Kei Nishikori sincerely believed that he could win the game, and he still believes so now, but the reality... is different.
However, when he saw Gao Wen coming towards him, Kei Nishikori took a deep breath, raised his head, smiled, and then patted Gao Wen's arm.

“A great game.”
Gao Wen also smiled at Kei Nishikori and nodded slightly, "What a wonderful game."
In today's match, both players have shown all their energy, and the victory or defeat was decided by a hair's breadth. It can only be said that the younger and wiser Gao Wen seized the opportunity at the critical moment and won the match with more sophisticated strategies and more appropriate moves.
Everything was just like the last ball. In fact, both sides had chances and both sides tried their best, but in the end, Gawain won the point. It was not because Kei Nishikori played badly, but because Gawain performed better. This is the most moving and special part of competitive sports.
Spinning around the column?
If Gawain were asked to copy and paste again, he probably wouldn't be able to do it. But in the game, when the adrenaline exploded and he entered a state of ecstasy, he could exert 200% of his potential, and then he would complete the most important step of breaking through the shackles of history! Kei Nishikori raised his head and looked at the young and energetic Gawain in front of him. He wanted to say something, but he swallowed it down in the end. He just silently patted Gawain on the shoulder and smiled. Everything was said without words——
Although Kei Nishikori failed to make history, Gawain still carries the hopes of Asian players and continues to move forward, continuing his incredible myth. The next game will depend on Gawain.
After a brief eye contact, Gao Wen patted Kei Nishikori on the shoulder, took a half step back, and motioned Kei Nishikori to shake hands with the referee first, and Kei Nishikori did not refuse.
After waiting for the handshake to be completed, the two players crossed paths, with Kei Nishikori returning to the dugout while Gawain returned to the field, raising his hands high to thank the Arthur Ashe Stadium for its enthusiastic support.
The audience stood up and applauded.
