Chapter 786 Status Adjustment
Everyone knew the purpose of Gao Wen's previous remarks, and the onlookers felt a slight stab in their hearts, realizing that they had been caught by Gao Wen.
But then he stiffened his neck and said: The incident has not happened yet, why is Gao Wen speculating about them like this? Hasn't Gao Wen heard of the principle of presumption of innocence?
The presumption of innocence is until proven guilty through trial.
The reporters were obviously a little annoyed. They felt secretly "convicted" by Gao Wen, and their rebellious mentality made the atmosphere in the press conference room a little tense.
However, who could have thought that with a change of topic, Gawain would lighten the atmosphere with a casual remark, and the sense of humor would overflow -
A musical drama?
Gawain’s choice of words is indeed full of inspiration.
A faint smile flashed through Gao Wen's eyes, and he regained his ease, and the topic returned to the right track.
“Working with two legends like Andre and Pete really opened my eyes this offseason.”
"Yes, I have adjusted some of my technical moves, hoping to be more competitive, but I am still in the running-in stage, so for the Doha competition and the upcoming Australian season, I will focus on myself first, make progress step by step, and hope to get on the right track."
In a casual manner, Gao Wen touched upon several important topics:
Regarding modifying his serving action and improving his serve receiving rhythm, these technical and tactical things are not secrets. People can definitely see them by watching his training or games. There is no need to deny them; but at the same time, there is no need to reveal everything.
Therefore, these words can show Gao Wen's skills in controlling the situation. He was brief but also able to achieve great results with little effort. He condensed a series of important issues into a short sentence and responded to them all positively, while avoiding digging deeper. He responded to all the main focuses in a light and concise manner.
Then, without waiting for the reporters to continue their attacks, he changed the subject:
"Sorry, Rafa, my passion for doubles is genuine."
Nadal was caught off guard and his first reaction was to burst into laughter. Then the atmosphere in the press conference room became relaxed again.
Finally, Gao Wen gave another perfect ending.
"This is a brand new season. Like all players, I have expectations and pressure. For me, the most important thing is to step onto the court and start hitting the ball."
"I think we had a good start today, at least I didn't hit the ball straight into the air."
So much focus, so many topics, so much pressure.
However, Gao Wen seemed so relaxed and so natural. He answered all the questions directly and calmly, while eliminating all the sharpness. His light-hearted attitude showed a maturity and sophistication that was different from a newcomer.
pressure?
Gao Wen is very clear about this, but this is also the most adrenaline-stimulating thing in competitive sports. A little bit of pressure can always inspire one to perform at his best, because the existence of pressure proves the desire for victory and the desire to fight, stimulating oneself to fight to the end with all one's strength.
Therefore, not only do we not need to avoid it, but we also need to learn to coexist with stress.
This is also the subject of Gao Wen's second season in his professional career, and this year's press conference will allow him to try it out.
It feels pretty good.
A smile rose slightly at the corners of his mouth, and he looked at all the reporters with bright eyes, as if he was an old farmer looking at his own melon field.
Yu Jia was a little confused——
He asked so many questions in such an eloquent manner, and Gao Wen answered them all in no time?
It wasn't just Yu Jia. The other reporters at the scene were also overwhelmed by the massive amount of information. Their minds were buzzing and it was difficult to digest it all in a short time.
Maybe they need to listen to the playback of their own recorders.
So, quiet, quiet...quiet...
In the press conference room, there was rarely any noise. The only sounds were the running of the air conditioner, the flow of air, the movement of footsteps, and the beating of hearts, the exchange of glances, the fluctuation of emotions, and the glances between people. One could deeply feel that everyone was ready to move.
However, no one acted rashly.
puff.
Nadal couldn't help laughing after all, then he moved slightly closer to Gawain, lowered his voice, and whispered in his ear.
"I've never seen reporters so quiet. You've silenced them."
"Another possibility is that my answers were so boring that the reporters fell asleep."
Gao Wen gave an answer that was not in line with common sense, and as a result, both of them burst into laughter, which finally made the reporters on the scene react.
The sight is focused again.
Gao Wen did not show any sign of panic. He faced the reporters calmly and spoke calmly.
"It seems that the reporters have no questions, which is a good thing. Rafa and I are discussing going back to practice more later. We have a singles match tomorrow."

More practice?
Where did this topic come from? Nadal turned to look at Gawain with wide eyes, only to find that Gawain was lying without any emotion at all. His as-it-comes-by-nature expression was very convincing.
Just look at the expressions of the reporters in front of you and you will know that they all believe it, because the extra training is completely consistent with people's impression of the two players in front of them.
Lying is obviously not one of the weapons in Nadal's skill set. This also opened Nadal's eyes. He couldn't help but laughed again.
reporter:???
What's so funny about that sentence just now? Would you like to share it?
For Nadal and Gawain, the press conference was full of joy and it was a great way to kick off the new season.
But for journalists, it may not be so. It is not so bad but not so happy either. The chances of leaving the interview scene with a head full of question marks are very few and far between. "After asking a bunch of questions, I got a bunch of new questions". This new skill is not so wonderful.
and!
In fact, after the press conference, Nadal and Gawain did go to the training ground for extra practice. The two training maniacs—
So, what was Nadal laughing at? What was so funny about that statement?
The reporters were even more confused:
Who would have thought that, as the saying goes, bad company breeds bad people? But after just two days with Gawain, Nadal had already become a bad boy. Where did the well-behaved student in our impression go? Discussions continued, but no one could find the answer.
Anyway, the new season begins——
Federer is in Brisbane, Nadal and Djokovic are in Doha, Wawrinka is in Chennai, and Murray is mysteriously still training in the winter.
In addition, Gao Wen also joined the fierce competition in Doha to start the season.
It's good to open the season with a doubles victory, but the real highlight is the singles.
As Gao Wen himself said, his technical movements from serving to receiving serve are being adjusted, and some skills and tactics are also being honed through winter training. Therefore, the main purpose of the Doha competition is to slowly adjust his condition, stay on the court as much as possible, and use competition as training.
From this perspective, Gao Wen's luck is pretty good.
