Chapter 633 Systematic Training
Laughter gently surged in the coffee shop. Even at the next table, one could still feel the warmth and breath of each other. It was faintly surging in the air filled with the aroma of coffee beans, and the mellow and rich aroma was intoxicating.
“Sorry…blah blah, blah blah…”
The waiter appeared. Gao Wen only understood the first word and did not follow the rest of the conversation. However, he saw the waiter brought coffee to the girl. It should be the breakfast the girl ordered.
The girl withdrew her gaze and started talking to the waiter.
Gawain looked down at his watch. Five minutes had already passed, and a little over thirty seconds, which meant he had to go to the training ground.
He picked up the coffee cup and drank all the coffee in it, then quickly put away the things. In order to avoid overturning the coffee table with big movements, he had to be careful. As he waited to stand up, the girl's eyes followed him.
Gao Wen glanced at the waiter, gave him an apologetic smile, and then said to the girl,
"Sorry, I need to hurry."
"It's been a pleasure chatting with you, and thank you for helping me out just now, but I really have to leave now. I hope your project goes well, and I hope you..."
"Phew, hope you have a nice day."
A smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth, then Gawain waved his hand, turned around and strode towards the door.
Everything was swept away by the gust of wind. The girl was slightly dazed and didn't react. She looked at Gawain's back as he left, but she still shouted out loud.
“Goodbye and have a nice day!”
Gao Wen turned around and looked at the girl, pausing for a moment. "If I never see you again, I wish you good morning, good afternoon, and good night."
He took two steps back and arrived outside the coffee shop. A ray of sunlight shone down, and the whole world became bright instantly. Then Gawain turned around and left quickly.
The girl sat there, leaning sideways, watching Gawain's back as he left. She was slightly stunned, and then a smile slowly blossomed in her eyes. She turned to look at the waiter, and asked with some surprise and surprise, "Was he imitating 'The Truman Show' just now?"
"Yes. I think so." The waiter also smiled friendly.
"Oh," the girl responded briefly, paused for a moment, and then lengthened the ending meaningfully, "Oh..." Her voice gradually became lower, but you could see a smile overflowing from her eyebrows. She couldn't help but turn her head and look in the direction where Gawain left.
On this side, Gao Wen still arrived at the training ground on time, and after speeding up his pace a little, he even arrived a little ahead of time.
Pelt looked at the energetic Gawain, with a satisfied look in his eyes.
For four whole days, Gao Wen really did what he said. He not only gave 100% concentration and effort, but also ensured the quality of every training, challenging his own limits bit by bit.
Even Pelt doubted whether it could be completed successfully, but Gawain gritted his teeth and completed it, ensuring quality and quantity.
More importantly, basic training and physical training are very, very boring. Just like Sisyphus, they have to repeat the same thing over and over again. This requires not only concentration but also perseverance. Otherwise, if you are a little bit careless, you may be overcome by boredom and pressure.
The reason why Pelt likes Davydenko and Ferrer is that they never complain and never give up. They know that their talents may never reach the level of Federer and Nadal, but they still work diligently and persistently to break through themselves.
Facts have also proved that they have occupied a place in the professional arena through their own sweat.
Whether it is Davydenko or Ferrer, for a very long time, they have been the leaders of the top group of players outside the "Big Four".
Maybe they couldn't achieve "greatness", but they still had a proud and brilliant career.
Now, Pelt also saw this quality in Gawain.
What's even more rare is that Gao Wen was able to stay down to earth and devote himself to training after experiencing earth-shaking changes in the world in just six weeks after winning the US Open championship.
Today is Gao Wen's fifth day of systematic training in Paris, and also the second to last day. They will train for one more day tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow they will set off for Valencia to continue systematic training there for two days. Then they will officially compete in the Valencia competition.
According to experience, it should be the time when Gao Wen encountered a training bottleneck or a training slump, just like the limit of physical strength. The boring training is a test of will and psychology. Only after passing that bottleneck can he find the motivation for training again.
Pelt was still a little worried.
But now it seems that not only is Gao Wen not in a low ebb, but his high morale is even stronger than yesterday and the day before yesterday. This is definitely an unexpected surprise.
For the first time, Pelt changed his mind. Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea to make it to the year-end finals.
"Well, are you ready?"
"Phew, let's get some training."
It's another boring day of training. I am so immersed in the training that my concept of time becomes blurred.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Sometimes I feel that time is extremely long, as if twenty seconds will never end; but sometimes I feel that time is extremely fast, as if one moment I have just started training, and the next moment it is almost the end of a day's training, making me wonder where the time has gone.
Tap tap tap.
Tap tap tap.
The continuous running footsteps rub against the ground. Because it is an indoor hard court, the sound of the soles of the shoes rubbing against the court is more harsh and more echoing, and the entire sense of space experience is completely different.
Even after four days of training like this, Gawain still wasn't used to it.
After all, in his two lives, he has always been training and competing on outdoor hard courts. He also tried some clay court training in the NCAA, but that's all. Indoor hard courts and grass courts are completely unfamiliar, and clay courts are not that familiar to him either.
Now I finally understand why the game needs to make detailed adjustments after switching venues.
Although the differences between different courts are becoming smaller and smaller, and grass courts can be played almost like hard courts, the details are still different:
The whole thing is about ball speed, bounce, angle, movement, feel of the ball, etc.
From a mathematical and physical perspective, all the differences become more obvious. In the process of moving and hitting the ball, Gao Wen is trying to use theoretical knowledge to analyze and help himself understand the court more objectively and systematically.
The same return ball will obviously be handled in subtle differences in different venues, and the entire tactical layout and game strategy may be different.
After getting used to the hard concrete courts in North America, a whole new world opened up for Gawain: it turns out that tennis can be so fun.
