Chapter 558: Undercurrents surging

The tit-for-tat confrontation.

Mars hits the Earth.

Obviously, Gao Wen is definitely not a good man who always gives in and is low-key and humble. He is introverted but sharp. He will not take the initiative to cause trouble but he is not timid either.

More importantly, compared to Gulbis's egocentric and arrogant attacks, Gawain always had a polite smile, like a gentleman, but his sarcastic, playful and angry counterattacks were able to burst out with full power, making people laugh without hesitation -

At the same time, you can still maintain your demeanor.

This is undoubtedly special! Whatever Gulbis said, he was right about one thing:

Official answers like those from Federer and Nadal, which were impeccable, polite and courteous, really killed most of the fun of the journalists at the press conference.

Even Djokovic and Murray, who always release negative emotions on the court, also put up defensive shields when facing reporters.

It is no exaggeration to say that spokespersons and public relations personnel, these two professions that emerged with the tide of the Internet era, are objects of deep hatred among media journalists.

It wasn't until this year's US Open that Gawain appeared. The off-court tidbits of "Gawain VS Kyrgios" were undoubtedly interesting. The personality edges and humor shown by Gawain on and off the court were even more eye-catching. Then he came to the Imperial Capital Open and met the outspoken Gulbis again.

This time, Gao Wen demonstrated with real strength "how to tease the opponent in a sharp and pointed way yet politely", like a breath of fresh air, bringing freshness back to the men's professional tennis world.

The reporters became excited one by one.

Brush, brush, brush.

The arms raised high in the audience were a spectacular sight, spreading from near to far, and in an instant further occupied the limited space of the press conference room, filling the field of vision. People with trypophobia or claustrophobia should be able to feel difficulty breathing at this time.

"Gawain, Gulbis said in the pre-match press conference that he doesn't think you are anything special. You are so far behind Federer and Nadal. There is no comparison at all. Your performance in Flushing Meadows was just an accident. You will soon disappear like a shooting star."

Bang! Gu Shao, as expected of Gu Shao, his outspoken and shameless character has never changed and will never change. He punched Gao Wen in the face with a straight punch, fierce and ferocious.

So, was Gawain angry? Obviously, no.

If Gao Wen could lose his composure due to such a trivial attack, then his career as a journalist would be in vain.

However, Gao Wen's smile bloomed lightly, and a faint smile naturally appeared in his eyes and brows, as if he heard a joke, and then he said in a relaxed tone.

"It's a pity that he couldn't say this as a winner, otherwise it would have been more convincing."

Is the subtext a complaint about Gulbis being so arrogant that he can't afford to lose?

Moreover, Gawain's expression did not fluctuate at all, and he always maintained a polite smile, but he inadvertently revealed a kind of disdain and contempt, which was the most lethal.

The reporters at the scene were so miserable trying not to laugh that they wished they could go to the hotel right now to surround Gulbis and see with their own eyes the expression on his face when he heard these responses. That would have been the most exciting off-court moment of the year.

Gulbis once commented on players like Federer and Djokovic, but these criticized players never responded directly, which made the reporters who wanted to watch the show very disappointed; after waiting for a lot of efforts, they finally got a chance to exchange ideas, so the reporters were naturally eager to try.

Rustling.

One could clearly feel that the air in the press conference room was boiling; an ordinary press conference was turning into a one-man talk show.

There is no need to wait for the news to be released. Reporters can judge from their own experience that today's press conference will definitely spark a hot topic. Moreover, Gao Wen will probably be able to gain the love of a group of fans. This hot topic figure is still constantly creating hot topics.

Then, another reporter stood up and prepared to ask questions, but this time, Gao Wen raised his hand to stop the other person before he opened his mouth, and said with a smile.

"I hope it's about me. Otherwise, I'm starting to wonder if I've walked into the wrong press conference room. Do I need to confirm with my agent?"

...Uh, this.

Obviously, Gawain's sharpness and sharpness were not only directed at Gulbis and other opponents, but also at reporters.

All questions revolved around Gulbis, and there seemed to be no sign of stopping. Reporters had the right to ask questions freely, but Gawain also had the right to refuse to answer.

So, Gawain issued a warning in this way.

The reporters, who were so excited that their heads were hot the previous second, were suddenly hit by a wake-up call the next second. They realized that Gao Wen and the reporters were not "comrades-in-arms" on the same front. If the reporters wanted to use Gao Wen to hype the news, they still needed Gao Wen's cooperation.

Then, the reporters looked up and saw Gao Wen, who was smiling in front of them. His clear eyes were like a vast ocean reflecting the stars, deep yet clear, boundless and mysterious. Just one look and one smile cooled the excitement of the reporters on the scene.

Looked at each other.

Some people might ask, how can a reporter be "afraid" of a player? Isn't the uncrowned king lawless and can ask whatever he wants?

Real journalists understand that if they want to dig out the content they care about, then interviewing requires skills. Otherwise, they will just blindly provoke the interviewees, which is just a crude way for paparazzi to create explosive points - and journalists are not paparazzi.

The relationship between reporters and players should be mutually beneficial, mutually restrained and helpful. Reciprocity is a very important way of getting along.

So, the reporters at the scene exchanged glances with each other, and the commotion calmed down quietly. This is probably a rare scene in professional tennis, and it will appear frequently in the future. It also means that men's professional tennis is becoming more and more interesting and more worth looking forward to.

The reporter who stood up and prepared to ask questions hesitated for a moment, and the topic did not continue to revolve around Gulbis, but the questions full of traps were still trying to create highlights.

"You will most likely face Nadal in the next round. What do you think about this?"

The topic was thrown out, just like a grenade thrown at Gawain with the fuse pulled. All the eyes of the crowd were focused on it, waiting for it to explode.

However, looking at the "grenade in front of him", Gao Wen was not panicked at all. A faint smile appeared in his eyes, and he answered slowly.

"Please, please respect Gojovtsik, okay?"
