Chapter 462: Fierce Momentum
“Ahhhh!”
Watching the tennis ball pierce through the entire court like a bullet, Gawain clenched his fists, looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, his passionate emotions exploding continuously.
The entire third set was not only full of ups and downs, twists and turns, and a desperate struggle, but also a fight alone against the pressure of the entire Arthur Ashe Stadium.
From losing six games in a row to being pushed to the edge of the cliff at the start of "0:3", no one believed that Gao Wen could catch up, but Gao Wen never wavered in his belief, firmly believed in himself, and refused to give up, little by little, step by step, and then fought back.
“Ahhhh!”
“Ahhhh!”
The emotions that had been suppressed again and again were finally released without reservation at this moment, and then he looked at the figure on the other side of the court with bright eyes——
He had been looking forward to this duel for so long. How could he surrender? How could he give up so easily?
The world's number one, are you ready? The battle is still going on, he hasn't fought enough! Let the blood boil a little more! Let the storm be more violent! Let them enjoy this moment! Smiles, blooming, youthful vitality overflowed, and the gorgeous sunshine all over the sky and the earth was eclipsed.
Ahhh! Wang Dalei is crazy, Gu Xiao is crazy, and the spectators waving the five-star red flag in the stands are crazy.
Ah! In the Chinese mainland, at midnight, everything was quiet, but suddenly there was an incredible cheer and shout. The audience waiting for the live broadcast in front of their computers and TVs had gone completely crazy. The social networking platform suddenly burst out with unparalleled energy, crazy about this moment.
Ah! Sofar's brain briefly froze and went blank. He just muttered "unbelievable" to himself, repeating the same exclamation over and over again.
Zhan Jun shouted into the microphone with a red face, as if he was drunk.
"How on earth could this happen? I can't believe it. This is unbelievable."
"In the difficult situation of falling behind by two break points in the third set, Gao Wen saved two consecutive set points and dragged the match into a tie-break with an incredible performance. He also played at an incredible top level. In the dangerous situation of missing three consecutive set points, he stood firm and won the third set with his signature two-handed backhand straight line on the fourth set point!"
"Now, in the 2014 US Open men's singles semi-finals, Gao Wen is leading the top seed Djokovic by a big score of '2:1'."
"I……"
"We are witnessing history, dear audience, we are witnessing history! Regardless of whether we win or lose, this will be a game that goes down in history, not because of the score, but because of Gawain's performance."
"Facing one of the best and top players in professional tennis over the past decade, Gao Wen showed calmness, tenacity and wisdom when he was behind. He really showed us his superstar potential. He proved that he can face all difficulties. Don't underestimate him at any time."
"The entire Arthur Ashe Stadium is stunned! No one expected this! No one!"
On the court, Djokovic could no longer suppress his anger and irritability, and then -
Smashed the shot.
Once! Two times! Three times! Djokovic slammed his racket to the ground fiercely, but after only three hits he saw the racket completely twisted and on the verge of falling apart. Only then did he briefly vent the negative emotions in his chest.
Because he had an absolute lead in the third set but lost it due to carelessness, because his performance in the tie-break was so embarrassing and cowardly, and because he had the first move but lost it on the last point, and he was clearly aware of the trap but was so stupid as not to avoid it.
His reserve, his hesitation, his delay, all of them are unforgivable.
Djokovic was very, very, very disappointed with himself and he needed to vent.
Boo! There was a low booing sound from the audience. Although all the audience stood on Djokovic's side, they still booed mercilessly to express their strong protest when they saw Djokovic's ungraceful racket smashing.
But will Djokovic care?
Obviously not.
Instead, the audience started to boo——
"Come on, Gawain!"
It was obvious that Gawain had won the support of some fans with his unparalleled performance, which was another step forward, but immediately one could hear the overwhelming cheers from Djokovic's supporters.
"Come on, Novak."
"The game isn't over yet, Novak."
"Go! Novak! Go!"
Indeed, the game is not over yet. After experiencing a roller coaster-like third set, both players still need to adjust their emotions and get into the fourth set.
However, at this moment, the social networks in mainland China have completely exploded, and even though it is already two o'clock in the morning, it cannot stop the fans' madness.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Just as Zhan Jun said, if Gao Wen took the lead when facing Djokovic, the fans might not lose their minds. After all, Djokovic has a huge fan base. It is inevitable that they will have conflicting feelings of watching Gao Wen challenge their idol, expecting Gao Wen to win, but not wanting to see Djokovic lose.
But the ups and downs of the third set, Gao Wen's performance on the edge of the cliff, was so exciting and passionate, and the charm of competitive sports was fully demonstrated.
Who could refuse such a competition? As a result, social networking platforms went wild with excitement. The bustling discussions made sleepiness disappear without a trace, and everyone was excited to vent their passion and boiling blood. It seemed as if the eyes of the whole world were focused on Flushing.
"Amazing! He was able to come back after falling behind by two breaks of serve. This young man is really good."
"The tiebreaker was so exciting that I almost couldn't breathe. I almost died when I won the last point."
"My knees are shaking and I can't breathe. It's so exciting and wonderful."
"What do you think are the chances of Gao Wen pulling off an upset? Is San Dezi going to make a bloodbath and comeback in the fourth set?"
"Ahhh, no milk, no milk, please get rid of this poisonous milk."
"It's great! To be honest, this is indeed the best match of this year's US Open. Our young player is going to be amazing."
In just 120 seconds of inter-game break, social networks around the world exploded with incredible energy, vying to show the hotness of this semi-final -
In Europe, 3,000 pieces of information were displayed on the screen every second, while in North America, the rate reached an astonishing 5,000 pieces of information per second. Then, the hashtag "Gawain vs. Djokovic" immediately entered the top three of the global hot search trend list.
In mainland China, it is easy to refresh the screen at a frequency of 20,000 posts per second, and it has topped the hot search list with its overwhelming popularity. Other night owls saw the changes in the hot search list while scrolling through their phones, and turned on the TV one by one as if possessed, and then they could no longer fall asleep.
The fourth set begins.
