Chapter 78: Out of nowhere
"Game, high, 6:1, 6:2."
The referee announced the final score of the game, officially ending the game and declaring that the powerful battle between the two undefeated record holders had finally come to a conclusion.
Sofar and those who expected the match to be more intense, closer and more fierce were destined to be disappointed.
Even though Harris launched a fighting tactic in the second set, not only saved his two service games, but also forced a break point in Gao Wen's service game. The entire confrontation was obviously stronger than the first set, but Harris was ultimately unable to turn the situation around. Until the last point, his messy thoughts were not completely sorted out.
There was no struggle and no suspense. The whole game lasted a total of fifty-nine minutes and ended with Gao Wen's complete victory.
"ah!"
Gawain clenched his fists tightly and raised them high to celebrate his victory. Then the Brown Bears players could no longer contain their joy. Like wild horses, they jumped out of the dugout one by one and swarmed towards Gawain, celebrating with abandon.
Suddenly, the entire court was filled with Bruins players and coaches, as if they had won the U.S. championship.
After defeating the University of Georgia 4:3, the Bruins once again withstood a severe test and defeated the University of Oklahoma with the same score, continuing their undefeated season!
Nine consecutive wins! Just as important as the victory is that Gao Wen's rapid growth has supplemented the overall strength of the Brown Bears, and Martin has more options for deployment.
"Ahhh! Gawain!"
“We won!”
"Victory! Victory!"
“Well done!”
"I knew it! Hahahaha, I! Just! Know!"
The Bruins players surrounded Gao Wen with a lot of chatter, patting his chest and hugging him from the back. Such enthusiasm really made Gao Wen a little overwhelmed. He yelled in panic, "My hairstyle! Hey! You! Don't ruin my hairstyle!"
The head can be cut off, the blood can flow, but the hairstyle cannot be messed up!
Haven't you heard of it?
There was a burst of cheers from the crowd. Gao Wen could see his teammates' bright smiles, and his mood also soared. However, he still suppressed his emotions a little, pushed his teammates aside, and walked towards the net.
Harris was still waiting there, shaking hands after the game.
Gao Wen quickly straightened his messy hair and walked towards him.
It can be seen that Harris was a little wilted, and the loss and dejection in his eyes could not be concealed, but he was mostly confused. He still hadn't figured out how he lost the game. After all, the strength shown by Gawain was not that of an absolute master who crushed the opponent, but why did the score become so far apart?
After the game, Harris still has a lot to summarize.
Noticing Gawain's appearance, Harris quickly perked up and gave Gawain a polite smile, "What a great game."
Gao Wen held Harris's right hand and nodded gently, "What a wonderful game."
Harris is still young and energetic after all. He exerted a little force with his right hand and raised his chin slightly. “This is not the end yet.”
Given the strength of the University of Oklahoma, it is still highly likely that they will meet in the National Championship Game.
Gawain could clearly sense the fighting spirit in Harris' words. He also tightened his right hand and clenched it tightly. "I know, this is just the beginning."
Why do these words sound strange? The meaningful ending seems to be saying: This is only the first time Gawain has defeated Harris. There will be a second and third victory in the future, which means the beginning of Gawain's crushing of Harris. It's like a nightmare.
Harris was not sure if he had understood wrongly, and looked at Gawain carefully, and then a smile bloomed on Gawain's face.
The two men did not stay any longer. They released their right hands and walked over one after the other to shake hands with the referee. This is also a very important part of tennis etiquette.
In professional competitions, refusing to shake hands with the referee may result in warnings, fines, or even suspensions. Of course, most of the time, fines are the main punishment.
On the side of the court, Cowell was also shaking hands with Martin, but it was obvious that Cowell was filled with rage. He had planned everything but failed to get himself into trouble. How could he be in a good mood? He hurriedly said something harsh, "Next time victory won't be so easy," and turned around and wanted to leave.
But I didn't expect that Martin was a smiling tiger. He said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, as long as we are the winner."
Cowell was blocked and almost exploded on the spot, but he held back and turned around and walked away quickly. Then Cowell saw Gao Wen, who was punching to celebrate his victory, and his eyes lingered for a moment——
The biggest surprise today was not Alcorta's defeat to Thompson, but Gawain's easy sweep of Harris.
But he will never make the same mistake twice.

Gawain seemed to be able to sense the burning gaze, and when he turned around, he met Cowell's deep gaze. He smiled widely and waved.
Such a calm and confident look made Cowell feel a little depressed. He pulled the corners of his mouth with a forced smile, turned around, his face immediately fell, and he left the court in a hurry.
"Gawain!"
Grant called out, stopping Gawain who was about to turn around and join the celebration, and walked over quickly, asking with concern.
"Are you sure there was no impact from the fall? If there is any pain or discomfort, or if there is any muscle tightness, you need to tell us."
Gawain naturally understood the meaning of Grant's words very well. Oftentimes, injuries are internal injuries or hidden diseases. Just because they cannot be seen on the surface does not mean that one is safe. One should never ignore the signals sent by the body.
But this time, Gawain was really fine, couldn't be better, "Grant, I'm fine."
After getting a positive reply, Grant finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. Then Gao Wen turned around and joined his teammates in celebrating. For these kids, today's victory was indeed thrilling. Even with the same score, it was completely different from the game against the University of Georgia.
Grant turned back to Martin and said, "...The last victory was too easy. Could it be that our intelligence on Harris was wrong?"
Martin had a faint smile in his eyes. "It's not that Harris is not strong enough, but our Gawain is growing fast. Now Gawain's strength has reached this level, but the Sooners were obviously not well prepared before the game and were caught off guard by us. Harris's ability to adjust on the spot is still too immature, so the game collapsed directly."
The score did look easy, but the process was not. It was Gao Wen's full effort that made the game easy.
Looking at Gao Wen who was cheering with his teammates, his confident and bright smile made the last rays of sunset on the horizon pale in comparison.
Martin couldn't help but nod slightly, and his smile became happy. This crazy May, he was more confident. Maybe they could really go one step further this year.
