Chapter 635: The Devil Appears
Wheezing.
It felt like there was an active volcano in my chest, with the boiling magma surging continuously. With every breath I could deeply feel the heat in every blood vessel.
However, I glanced at the system's message reminder and saw the message "Growth potential increased by 0.01%" flashing on the screen. The training effect of breaking through oneself and challenging the limit was presented in front of me very intuitively and efficiently, and I immediately felt motivated.
"continue!"
Gawain said loudly.
In real matches, after a long multi-shot tug-of-war, players need to turn around and adjust themselves before immediately engaging in the next ball contest. Even if the two sides reach a tacit understanding and make slight adjustments at the same time, they cannot delay for too long. Therefore, there is no reason to rest all the time during training.
Russell looked at Gawain across the court in disbelief. He doubted his ears for a moment. That powerful voice, those resounding words: Is Gawain serious? Even Russell himself was panting heavily, his mind was blank, and he never recovered. He couldn't help but look at Pelt for help.
Unexpectedly, Pert showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes and nodded slightly, just like an old father watching his child walk independently for the first time, his face full of satisfaction.
Russell: ??? But Sampras is already calling out, "Come on!"
Russell was speechless. Well, he had to admit one fact, that is, the training maniac was online again, and he was the innocent lamb, trembling.
The training continued, and the indoor court once again echoed with the sound of balls hitting the ball and footsteps.
Another full day of training ended, and Russell looked like he had been fished out of the water. His calf muscles were trembling when he walked.
Looking up, Russell looked at Gawain, whose brows were filled with fatigue but he couldn't suppress his comfort and clarity, and his face was full of a look of astonishment.
Then Gao Wen chuckled, "Why are you so embarrassed? Hurry up and change your clothes. These clothes seem to be deformed from being soaked with too much sweat."
Now, all the training equipment for Gao Wen's entire team is provided by Nike, including Pelt and Russell, who also wear Nike jerseys.
Of course, all of them are from the "Gawain Series".
Russell rolled his eyes speechlessly, "This is my third piece of clothing, the third one!"
Gao Wen pursed his lips and said, "That must be because you sweat too much."
Russell looked at Gao Wen helplessly, "Are you sure? Are you sure it's not due to other reasons?" For example, the training intensity was too high? Gao Wen thought about it very seriously, "No, it must be because of you."
Russell: Haha, my laugh is definitely not a laugh.
After a whole day of high-intensity training, Russell almost didn't have the energy to speak, and Peart and Sampras were also exhausted. But seeing Gawain still had the energy to chat and laugh, it can be seen that Gawain is indeed getting back on the right track.
This is a good thing.
Sampras tilted his head and glanced at Pelt. "How is it? It seems that Gawain still has some strength left. Do we need to increase the intensity of training?"
The words seemed to be mocking the challenge to Pelt's "authority", but in fact, Pelt not only did not mind, but also showed a satisfied expression in his eyes.
Until now, he finally decided that accepting Tobias' invitation to come out was the right choice.
"Don't be fooled by his relaxed appearance now, but in fact his body has basically reached its limit. He still needs to be carefully examined for the next massage therapy and recovery training."
What Pelt least wants to see is unnecessary injuries caused by overtraining, so he needs to be careful at all times and never let down his guard.
Sampras shrugged. "Gawain knows his body well enough. Since he didn't ask for more practice, it means he knows he has reached his limit."
If Gawain heard what Sampras said, he would probably be scared.
Could it be that the existence of the system has been discovered? Every day's training ends when the orange status disappears, ensuring that one's limits are stimulated while avoiding unnecessary damage.
Sampras exchanged glances with Pelt, and then he walked towards Gao Wen's position.
"Gawain, didn't you say you wanted to go to the bistro in Paris? Let's do it tonight."
"Hmm? What about the videotape training?"
"Don't worry, an hour won't delay our training."
As he spoke, Sampras himself couldn't help but chuckle, and gave advice in a friendly manner, like an elder.
"Except for Rafael, I've never heard of a player who loves training so much. Gao Wen, you are only eighteen years old. You should have some personal life."
"You spend enough time on the training ground, make some friends, open some eyes, and it's good for the game too."
"Tomorrow is the last day in Paris. After training in the afternoon, we will fly directly to Valencia, so this is your last night to experience life in Paris."
Gao Wen's eyes were full of surprise, and he laughed out loud, "Other coaches are worried about their players being distracted, but I haven't seen anyone like you who's worried about their players being too focused."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Sampras shook his head slightly, "No, I'm not worried about you being distracted at all. I don't believe you. Ask Martin."
Pelt also shrugged but smiled without saying anything, but his expression was enough.
Sampras smiled and continued, "I came from the playing days myself, and I know that the outside world is very exciting and it is easy to be distracted. Once you lose your concentration, it may affect your performance on the court."
"But at the same time, I also know that if players are completely cut off from the world, it is easy for them to be confined in a greenhouse and they cannot grow up without going through wind and rain."
"Tennis is important, very, very important, but it shouldn't be everything in life. There's a lot more to life."
In addition to being a coach, Sampras is also a friend who gives Gawain more advice as a person who has experienced it.
Sometimes, life outside the court is equally important, because players are not robots, nor do they live in a vacuum. How to improve yourself on the court and how to find yourself in life are equally important.
Sampras was indeed a little worried about Gao Wen. Putting too much energy into training would mean disrupting the balance of life, which might not necessarily be a good thing.
Gawain could understand Sampras's worries. What he wanted to say was that in his previous life, he had seen the prosperity and bustle of the world, and he had also experienced lows and setbacks, so he didn't need to appreciate the colorful life again.
But when the words reached his lips, they turned into a smile and blossomed.
"Okay, I understand."
"Well, I'll go to the bistro and experience some Parisian culture, and then I'll be back at the apartment by ten and we'll do some videotape analysis training."
If it were other 18-year-olds, they might worry about delaying things, but looking at Gawain in front of him, Sampras' eyes were full of relief.
Nodding, Sampras waved his hand, "Well, now let's go to the massage therapy."
Watching the backs of Gawain and Russell, Sampras was like an old father.
