Chapter 730: Work is over

"We won!"

"The game was over and the final scores were, '6:1', '6:2'."

"In this way, Gao Wen made history by becoming the first Asian player to win the year-end finals, and the one he defeated was another Asian player, Kei Nishikori, who had won the year-end finals before..."

Tong Kexin is explaining diligently.

Xu Yang turned to look at his partner in astonishment. Didn't Tong Kexin notice the contradiction in his words?

Even though they have been partners for such a long time, Xu Yang is still surprised by Tong Kexin's "commentary ability" from time to time. Just when he was about to remind Tong Kexin about his grammatical errors, the floor of the studio began to vibrate slightly.

Buzz buzz buzz.

The entire floor was shaking so violently that the vibrations from the ground could be clearly felt under the soles of the feet, almost making one doubt whether there was an earthquake of such magnitude.

Xu Yang's words were interrupted. He looked up and could see the noisy scene outside through the round window of the studio door.

Some were whizzing by with their hands raised high, some were jumping high and high-fiving in celebration, and some were talking to their colleagues with great excitement.

Even though I couldn't hear any sound outside the studio, I could still read the emotions from the joyful and happy faces.

In an instant, it was as if they were back to the night when they made their historic entry into the World Cup finals, when everyone was driven crazy by a tiny football.

Of course, the influence of tennis is still inferior to that of football, but at this moment, they are growing up with Gawain, moving forward with Gawain, and creating history step by step. The sense of participation and immersion is incomparable and irreplaceable, and the adrenaline explodes.

After a slight pause, Xu Yang also smiled and forgot about Tong Kexin's mistake in speaking for a moment.

"Gawain's performance in this game was indeed outstanding..."

Although he tried his best to remain calm and objective, Xu Yang's voice still trembled slightly uncontrollably.

"From New York to Paris and then to London, Gao Wen has proved his presence in one game after another. Although he is the first substitute, no one can underestimate him."

"Today, both players standing on both sides of the net still have hope of qualifying from the group stage, and both players are trying to win the qualification."

"For Gao Wen, he needs a victory, a straight-set victory, and a victory with as big a score difference as possible."

"As a result, Gawain did it all."

"This young man continues to surprise people..."

As he spoke, Xu Yang couldn't help but become excited.

At the same time, media reporters on the front line in London were going crazy. Even the Chinese reporters did not expect that all this would actually happen.

At the post-match press conference, Kei Nishikori and Kobe were undoubtedly the focus of attention, and Asian reporters celebrated the New Year.

Since both Asian players have the hope of qualifying from the group, who will make history? Or will Murray control his fate?

"Gao Wen, this is ESPN..."

"This is The Times..."

"This is The New York Times..."

"This is 'Tennis Magazine'..."

"This is CCTV..."

"This is The Guardian..."

"This is Bild..."

One, two, three... a constant stream of questions rushed out. Since the press conference began, the questions have never stopped. Not only Chinese reporters, but also reporters from all over the world, including Japanese reporters, were all as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood and could not remain calm.

From Raonic's condition, to whether Gao Wen had talked to Raonic, to the behind-the-scenes details of the temporary preparations for the game, as well as the feelings of landing in the year-end finals for the first time and the reason why Dimitrov appeared on the training ground and the player box... and so on.

There are so many problems, really, surrounding the game, everything inside and outside is the focus of news.

Then, the most important and critical question comes up.

"... Before you played, did you know that you still had a chance to advance to the semi-finals? And with this victory, your hopes have increased greatly, but we still need to see how Federer plays against Murray. Do you have any hope for the semi-finals?"

According to the rules of the year-end finals, if Raonic withdraws and Gawain becomes the substitute, Gawain will automatically replace Raonic's position, including Raonic's record, which is equivalent to Gawain's results in the previous two games. The same situation also applies to whether or not he can qualify from the group stage.

The question was asked by a Japanese reporter, who even asked it before the Chinese reporter.

In fact, it’s not surprising.

After all, with Gawain defeating Kei Nishikori in straight sets and winning a glimmer of hope for himself, Kei Nishikori had already been pushed to the brink of an unfavorable cliff.

First, if Murray can beat Federer, whether in two or three sets, then the two giant players will advance from the group of death together.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Secondly, if Federer can beat Murray, then the situation will be divided into two possibilities: one is to win in three sets, then Federer will be first in the group and Murray will be second.

One is to win in two sets, in which case Federer will be first in the group, and the second group qualifying spot will be determined by calculating the small points among Murray, Kei Nishikori and Gawain.

Simply put, Murray only needs to win one set from Federer to advance together with Federer; and only when Federer beats Murray in two straight sets will a different result occur.

In other words, through his unremitting struggle and efforts, Gao Wen brought the faintest and most remote possibility of the Death Group to the surface.

When the Japanese reporter saw Gao Wen again, he felt just as anxious as the Chinese reporter.

"No, I don't know."

Compared to the urgency and enthusiasm of the reporters, Gao Wen appeared calm and composed, with a faint smile on his clean and fresh face.

"It's been a very busy and crowded day today. Milos' situation was something no one expected, so I really didn't have much time to worry about other things."

"From the time I learned I was going to come on as a substitute to the time I actually stepped onto the court, the time was too short and there were too many things to do. I'm not Superman and there's no way I can play two roles at the same time, so I need to focus on the game."

The humor and ridicule that come to mind are still typical of Gao Wen's style.

"I think my only job is to go out there and win and do my best to fulfill Milos' wishes and put on a great match for the O2 crowd. That's all."

“Now, I have successfully completed my work.”

"call……"

"As for the rest, that's your job, isn't it? Believe me, you don't want me to take your job."

The answer was very conventional and flawless, but the relaxed tone made people laugh so much that the press conference room was filled with laughter: Taking away the reporters' jobs?

If it was any other player, the reporters might have sneered and started to mock him on the spot; but the one in front of them... was Gawain, so the reporters had no way of being sure.

They looked at each other in confusion and actually trembled a little. What was going on?

Could this be the legendary "Dragon's Contempt"? (End of this chapter)
