Chapter 514: Calm and Unperturbed

Boom! Boom, boom, boom!

The whole world is turning upside down, and it has taken on a completely new look overnight. Perhaps, only the protagonist at the center of this storm is still "outside of it."

Gawain needed a rest. Everything happened too fast, too fiercely, and too violently, and it came at him with bared fangs and claws. The double consumption of energy and physical strength made him exhausted. A long sleep without dreams was the best way to relax.

When he woke up the next morning, Gawain glanced at the alarm clock. It was seven o'clock. Even if he was tired, his biological clock would still wake his brain on time.

Fortunately, although the sleep time was not long, the sleep quality was still guaranteed. I had a dreamless night, and when I opened my eyes again, my body felt noticeably relaxed.

When Gawain realized that there was no training or competition today, he sat on the bed in a daze for a moment, a little absent-minded, and then he saw the championship trophy placed on the table in the hotel room from the corner of his eye. The sense of reality finally settled into his stomach, gradually falling, pulling his center of gravity back to the ground -

It was a replica of a mini championship trophy, placed horizontally on the table somewhat casually, with the lid of the trophy falling down alone, looking a little lonely; the trophy was only as high as a palm, and the lifelike details perfectly replicated every detail of the real trophy, but it was not a real trophy after all.

The championship trophies of the four Grand Slams are all kept by the organizing committee itself, and the champions cannot take the trophies away. They can only be carried with them on a few occasions such as official press conferences and championship photo shoots. Afterwards, they need to be returned to the organizing committee and then kept on display in the museum of the event, waiting for next year's competition.

The champions can only get a scaled-down replica as a souvenir. Of course, as it is an official product, the quality can be guaranteed.

The only exception is the "King of Clay" Nadal. After he won the French Open for the tenth time, he became the first player in history to win ten championship trophies in a single Grand Slam. The French Open Organizing Committee specially copied the trophy at a one-to-one ratio and awarded it to Nadal as a private collection.

Crunch.

Gawain left the bed and walked over. Only then did he realize that he was still wearing a tuxedo and suit. He had no energy to take care of himself last night. Then he walked to the table, picked up the mini trophy, and looked at it carefully in his palm. He couldn't help but smile.

champion.

champion!

It turns out that this is the feeling of reaching the goal after running at full speed, so wonderful and so moving. He can't wait to start a new journey, continue to break through his limits, continue to challenge himself, continue to make progress and improve, and continue to move towards the next goal. His heart, which had just rested and relaxed, couldn't help but beat faster again.

Eager to try.

Then, Gawain put the trophy down, jumped high into the air twice, stretched his body a little, turned around and went into the bathroom to wash up.

Crash.

The hot water patted his muscles, and the tense state gradually eased. It was not until this moment that Gao Wen remembered another important thing:

system.

Since winning the championship, everything seemed to be thrown into a spin dryer. Everything started to speed up and kept coming at me without any breathing space. Things happened one after another, and even my facial muscles became stiff from smiling too much in front of reporters.

So much so that Gao Wen completely forgot the existence of the system.

When the system was summoned, the interface was the same as usual, with no special movement, as if last night's championship was just an ordinary game.

But if you think about it carefully, it’s not surprising.

The system has always been like this, training step by step and competing with all one's strength. It has nothing to do with the nature of the game, but is related to the state of input and the intensity of the confrontation. No matter whether it is the semi-finals, the finals or daily training, the most important thing is always the effort and consumption of each confrontation.

The more you give, the more you gain; vice versa, there will be absolutely no extra bonus just because of the final - just like the most exciting game in the World Cup is often not the final.

From this perspective, the intensity of the final against Cilic should not be as high as that against Djokovic in the semi-finals. It can also be seen from the final score that the final was the only straight-set victory for Gao Wen in this US Open trip; but taking a step back, the final is an objective test of pressure and spirit, and the intensity of the confrontation should still be guaranteed to a certain level.

really.

The system did not provide any special rewards, but the growth potential value was still fully reached, 102.1%.

However, the physical attributes, technical attributes, and mental attributes have not changed at all.

So, does this mean that we should look forward to playing against the Big Four in the future? However, this is the ultimate meaning of competitive sports, challenging the limits and breaking through oneself. Naturally, the ceiling of today's tennis world is the Big Four.

This time at the US Open, Djokovic was indeed not in the best form. It is estimated that next time they play, Djokovic will be alert and will definitely mobilize his full form. The quality of the game should be another matter.

Kind of looking forward to it!

His eyes scanned the three attributes briefly, and then Gawain added this attribute point to the technical sub-item without hesitation. After a burst of blue ripples, the attributes became: Physical attribute: 84 Technical attribute: 86 Mental attribute: 90 The reason was simple. After the entire Grand Slam journey, Gawain clearly realized that with his current physical fitness, he could already gain a foothold in professional competitions.

Of course, with the Grand Slam's best-of-five format and a two-week schedule, physical fatigue and pressure in the final stage are still a problem, which can be seen in the semi-finals and finals, but this is not an absolute shortcoming and I can still persevere if I grit my teeth.

But the technology is different.

Now, Gao Wen is still in a period of rapid growth, and his playing style has gradually taken shape. With the support of brain intelligence, he establishes the entire defense and offense system through his own calculations, predictions, and layout.

However, currently, due to the limitations of his own ability and lack of competition experience, many ideas in his mind cannot be realized. Therefore, in the US Open, the baseline rounds often fall into a tug-of-war, and his style and method are still not distinct and neat enough.

There is room for further growth and improvement.

As for the ultimate goal, on the defensive side, we should try to get closer to Nadal, and the overall defensive layout and control need further breakthroughs; and on the offensive side, we should train with Federer as the target, so the grasp of timing and the diversity of techniques are very important.

It is precisely because of this that Gao Wen did not hesitate to add technical attributes.

This will be the key to the formation of Gao Wen's playing style.

Moreover, in the next period of training, Gao Wen also needs to further carry out targeted training and strengthen training.

Just when Gao Wen was about to close the system, he unexpectedly discovered that a new section had appeared in the attribute panel: hidden attributes.

It seems that a Grand Slam title is a little different after all.
