Chapter 622: Waiting
Hidden Attributes: 77 (2/5)
Growth potential: 17.88% Sure enough!
As long as you give it your all and do it without reservation, your sweat will not be in vain. After going through the tempering of a fierce battle, the rewards will be obvious.
Arriving in the Magic City, this was the second time in just one week that the growth potential value was full. Gawain chose the hidden attribute again without hesitation: since it has already begun, then we need to see a result. At least the hidden attribute needs to be improved a little. Gawain's character is not to give up halfway.
Moreover, after the superposition, the growth potential is still nearly 20%. It can be seen that the gains from the game against Simon are very considerable.
Even in addition to the growth potential, the spiritual attribute has naturally increased a little, and now the value has reached 91.
There has been no movement for a long time since the mental attribute broke through the threshold of 90, and there was no breakthrough in the match against Nadal; but unexpectedly, when encountering the "King of Grinding", both the body and the mind withstood the test on both levels, and took another small step forward!
After the US Open, Gao Wen clearly felt that the accumulation speed of his growth potential had slowed down. There should be many reasons for this, the most important of which is that his own strength has reached a certain level and is slowly entering the second bottleneck. Then, he will stagnate like in the US Championships and wait for the next breakthrough.
This also means that the training and competitions in the coming period will require more focus and devotion, just as the darkness before dawn is the thickest, the accumulation before breaking through the limit of one's own strength is the most boring and tedious, just like rowing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.
Gao Wen was looking forward to it because it was a brand new challenge.
The most wonderful thing about competitive sports is that it always has a challenging goal, maybe it is a world record, maybe it is an opponent on the field, or maybe it is to break through yourself, but no matter what, the limit of the challenge is always there, and then they launch impacts and challenges again and again.
Behind “higher, faster, stronger” is humanity’s exploration of its own limits.
Gao Wen is still some distance away from the true peak of professional tennis. Although he cannot determine the length of the journey for the time being, he knows where he is heading, so his life will never be boring. A US Open championship trophy is just a milestone in the long journey.
Nothing more and nothing less.
However, the training can be put on hold for a while, and the challenge can wait until tomorrow. At least there is no need to rush tonight. After being physically exhausted, his entire soul seems to be hollowed out. There is a sense of emptiness, and he needs a good rest.
For a moment, clear your mind and think about nothing.
call……
I let out a long breath, closed my eyes and rested for a moment, and then I heard vague trivial sounds in my ears.
"…Are you sure it doesn't matter?"
"But we have no choice. Gawain is really exhausted. During this period of time..."
"How long did you say you waited?"
"Six hours."
"God, have they eaten yet? Really... Otherwise, should I go downstairs?"
"...They didn't come here just for you, they came here just to wait for Gawain..."
"If it were normal, it would definitely be..."
"I was thinking, I'll go down and express my gratitude and apology to them..."
"It's better for me to go..."
Rustling, intermittent, trivial sounds surged in Gawain's ears. He captured some fragmented information but was unable to string them together.
call……
Gawain opened his eyes, stretched, opened his eyes blearily, turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and asked vaguely.
"what happened?"
"What time is it?"
The whole world continued to spin like smoke and fog. The tiredness from the depths of the soul weighed heavily on my eyelids, making it almost impossible to open them. My concepts of time and space had become completely blurred.
"Eleven o'clock."
"Gawain, are you okay? Why did you fall asleep on the sofa? If you want to rest, you should use it as a bed so that you can ensure your sleep quality."
In a daze, he couldn't tell whether it was Tobias's voice or Sampras's, but Gawain was startled. He tried his best to open his eyes wide to express his surprise, but all he could see was a blur. He could hardly open his eyes and only saw a flash of light.
"Eleven o'clock?"
"I just wanted to sit on the sofa and rest for five minutes, but it's already been three hours..."
As he spoke, Gawain found it ridiculous and couldn't help laughing.
After a moment of hesitation, his brain started to work.
"What were you talking about?"
"What happened?"
My head was a mess. I just vaguely felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't remember the details of the fragments of words just now.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Tobias and Sampras exchanged glances. They both reached a consensus on this matter. They could not hide it from Gawain and it was up to Gawain to make the decision.
"There was a crowd of fans gathered in the hotel lobby."
"They were originally waiting for you outside the center court. Unexpectedly, you spent nearly an hour on physical therapy and relaxation training. After finishing all the treatments, you went directly back to the hotel through the VIP channel. They missed you and didn't wait for you."
"They, uh, they have been waiting outside the stadium since the afternoon. Because they didn't buy tickets, they waited at the door hoping to see you, and they have been waiting until now."
It was Tobias who spoke up. He knew the whole story clearly and summarized the whole thing simply.
Sampras is a player himself. He knows that the relationship between players and fans is very special. Fans' support is always an important driving force for players to fight on the court. But at the same time, players and fans need to maintain a certain distance, otherwise things can easily become ugly.
In a situation like today, Gawain has been overdrawn both physically and mentally, and he needs to rest. Therefore, Sampras is not sure whether Gawain still has the energy to face the fans.
But unexpectedly, Gawain immediately sat up straight and opened his eyes, which had been glued shut.
"Have they eaten yet?"
The first question made Tobias and Sampras stunned. Tobias thought about it and then shook his head, "I'm not sure, but probably not."
"So you're saying that they've been waiting outside for an entire afternoon, but haven't eaten, and haven't come home yet?"
As he spoke, Gawain stood up, rubbed his eyes quickly, and patted his cheeks hard to wake himself up.
"Where are they?"
Tobias looked at Gawain's vigorous and resolute appearance and was a little worried. "Gawain, are you sure everything is okay? In fact, Peter and I can go over and take care of them."
Gawain shook his head and said, "John, only sincerity can repay sincerity." Then, a smile rose lightly at the corner of Gawain's mouth, and he patted Tobias on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, I know you all think I'm made of paper, but I'm actually made of aluminum."
After saying that, Gawain walked straight towards the door of the room.
Tobias glanced at Sampras.
Are aluminum products much better than paper products?
Since Gawain was now energetic enough to joke, it meant that he should have recovered a little. Both of them smiled but didn't say much. Instead, they turned around, one after the other, and followed Gawain out.
