Chapter 752 Back to the Starting Point

In the NCAA, it is always like this. Every year, players graduate and every year, players turn professional. The ups and downs in strength are very normal.

However, the team must always move forward, and whenever facing difficulties, there must be players who step forward, otherwise the team may be silent for a long time.

This time around, with the Bruins, it was MacDonald who stepped up.

In the upcoming spring season, the Bruins will have a hard time. Not to mention defending the title, even winning every game may be extremely difficult.

After all, one person cannot support the whole thing alone.

But McDonald did not retreat or surrender. He set an example and led the team back on the right track with his down-to-earth performance.

Gauvin has nothing but admiration and respect for McDonald. Only a true warrior would dare to shoulder this responsibility and re-establish the banner of the Bruins.

In the sunshine, MacDonald was a little restrained. In front of other teammates, he was a dignified captain, but in front of Gawain, he seemed a little strange.

Looking at the smile on Gao Wen's lips, sincere and frank, as if nothing had changed, they were still teammates fighting side by side, and still partners walking together all the way. The tension and restraint in his chest quietly relaxed, and then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly rise.

"You know, the guy who led us to the championship last season said that if you don't believe in miracles, then miracles will never happen."

“So, I want to believe it.”

It wasn’t actually that long since we last met, from September to November, just less than three months, but obviously, many things have changed.

They have all grown up and are on their own new tracks. McDonald, who was once shy and taciturn, has grown into the captain of the Bruins and has the final say.

But at the same time, some things never change.

This offseason, Tobias and Sampras have been selecting Gawain's training grounds because they know the importance of this offseason.

There are many alternative options, among which Nike also sent some training venues sponsored by them and invited Gao Wen to go there, and put forward a suggestion: Gao Wen should go to Miami to train with Sharapova and Dimitrov; at the same time, Bouchard will also go there.

As a result, Nike's four young superstars will come together, "pair up in pairs", train together, and become the most beautiful scenery on the Caribbean coast.

The idea was bold, but Gawain still refused.

Similarly, Sharapova and Dimitrov also refused. They were not interested in such off-court hype, so Nike had no choice but to give up.

In the end, Gao Wen chose UCLA.

There is no doubt that this is one of the top and most advanced tennis training venues in North America. Every year, many top players choose to conduct off-season training here. UCLA always provides the most complete and thoughtful logistical facilities to ensure the players' daily training.

Of course, the players need to pay the corresponding fees. The cost of offseason training is a very high expense. Not all players can afford the most top-level and comprehensive offseason training, but no matter what, every player can always find a training method that suits him.

More importantly, this is Gao Wen's alma mater, and the school is willing to provide the best venue and the best conditions to ensure that Gao Wen can get the best training.

So, the matter was settled.

After being away from campus for just a few months, Gao Wen returned here, the starting point of his dream and the place where everything began.

It was not until yesterday that Gao Wen finished shooting all Nike commercials and met with a group of top superstars. Then he returned to his empty apartment. Everything seemed so strange and deserted, as if the lights, cheers and noise were all a dream.

That's the sport of tennis.

Because I travel around the world all year round, from one hotel to another, and rarely settle down. It's like I'm wandering, and it's hard to be sure where my "home" is. Even when I return to my apartment, I can't find the warmth of home.

In fact, Gao Wen still lives in the apartment he rented during his student days——

Even though he is a multi-millionaire now.

Since I officially joined the challenge in July, life has been like a tornado, whizzing by. I don't even have time to press the pause button to think carefully and savor it slowly, let alone the time and space to reorganize my life. So, I have no conclusion as to where I should settle down.

Most professional tennis players live in Monte Carlo or Miami.

First, the weather is good. After finally waiting for the rest time, I naturally hope to relax in a sunny and pleasant place.

First, the environment is good. Not only is it close to the sea, with beaches and sea, but it also has very comprehensive and complete training facilities, so daily training is also guaranteed.

First, it is "suitable for the rich". The taxes here are relatively low, and wealthy people from all over the world have flocked here to settle down, and high-income tennis players are no exception.

However, Gawain has not yet been able to determine -

Because there is no time.

During this offseason, one of the issues Gao Wen needs to consider is the city where he will officially settle down, buy a house, and put down roots.

Even if it is idle for most of the year, they can still find a harbor when they need to go home; in addition, it is also very necessary for Gao Hongli and Jiang Yanyun. Whether they decide to retire and enjoy life, or want to go on vacation occasionally, they can also go to Gao Wen's residence.

However, there is no need to rush for now.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Since he has decided to train at UCLA during the offseason this year, Gao Wen can continue to live in Los Angeles for a while.

As for the apartment...

Tobias is looking for a suitable apartment for Gawain to move to.

According to the plan made by Sampras and Pelt, the official training during the offseason should start from tomorrow.

The main reason is that Gao Wen has been busy shooting commercials and flying around in recent times, and his nerves are tense. He really needs a little time to rest and breathe. Relaxing for a week may be too luxurious, but there is no problem in relaxing for a day.

But Gao Wen felt a little uncomfortable staying in his own apartment.

Looking at the empty walls around him, he just felt a sense of strangeness and emptiness. The huge gap between inside and outside the spotlight was still new to him.

So, what should we do?

train.

Of course it’s training.

Is there anything easier and more fulfilling than training?

The most wonderful thing about exercise, competition, and sports is that when you devote your whole body and soul to the sport, all the stress and worries will be left behind, and you will be completely focused on the sport. Then your brain will be completely emptied and you will enter a whole new realm.

Sweat, as long as you sweat, everything will be fine.

He can start with basic training, just like a tall building rises from the ground, starting from basic training in advance and slowly entering the off-season state.

So, he showed up at the Bruins’ practice field, feeling grounded and centered again, and this was the life he was familiar with.
