Chapter 854 Dream Child

"... Gao Wen, may I ask, are you disappointed with the order of the game at Hisense Stadium today? What do you think of the fans' actions that disrupted the game? After the game, you made a signature move. What is the meaning of that move?"

In the hustle and bustle of the crowd, the one who finally got the first right to ask a question was the Los Angeles Times.

Obviously, the host of the press conference also realized the thorny nature of today's interview. If he was not careful, a series of landmines might explode at the entire scene.

Just like the game of minesweeper.

However, looking at the whole place, it is full of landmines and every step is dangerous.

In fact, the safest and most reliable approach should be to ask questions by name to the Chinese media, but there is a problem here: firstly, asking by name to the Chinese media would be too obvious a sign of favoritism towards Gawain. The local Australian media would certainly not be satisfied and would suspect that the organizing committee was taking care of Gawain. Once a misunderstanding arises, it would stir up a hornet's nest.

Secondly, the Australian media was so overwhelming that the faces of the Asian media were quickly drowned in the surging crowd. It even made people doubt that even the post-match press conferences of Hewitt and Stosur did not attract so many local media to come and show their support.

After much deliberation, I decided to give the first opportunity to ask questions to the Los Angeles Times.

Sure enough, the questions from the Los Angeles Times were much milder, and the initiative was given to Gao Wen to respond to today's situation.

"No, I'm not disappointed."

"I guess the fans at the scene should be more disappointed..."

Wait, what? What did Gawain say? The reporters at the scene almost suspected that they had heard it wrong. What did Gawain mean by this answer? Was he provoking the fans, as a winner? But looking at Gawain with a faint smile on his face, his calm, energetic, and unhurried response, the confidence and composure emanating from him, it was obvious that he was not prepared to play by the rules, and he just dragged the reporters into it.

"Obviously, they hope to roll up their sleeves and compete directly on the court, but because the rules do not allow them, they can only compete through voice. I think they should be more anxious and depressed than anyone else."

"I've played Go before, and I know how it feels to stand by and watch the game without being able to intervene or even being yelled at to shut up. My internal organs start to burn."

“I think they should do the same today.”

"Believe me, Pete and Andre have said more than once that when they watched me play, they wanted to roll up their sleeves and go on the court, but they couldn't, so Pete complained to me that he was worried that he might have a heart attack in the future. I know what it feels like."

"Besides, the result is definitely not what they wanted to see. I am more worried about their emotions than me. Are they sure it's okay?"

On-site reporter: …

puff.

Yu Jia had a very hard time holding back his laughter. Gao Wen's sarcasm and indirect criticism were simply superb, especially his light tone with a smile on his face, which brought out the sarcasm and humiliation hidden in his words to the extreme. However, there was not a single dirty word in the whole process. It was really brilliant.

Yu Jia used all his strength to control his urge to burst into laughter, but he could still hear the uncontrollable rustling sounds of some reporters.

In front of him, Gawain still had a serious expression on his face, as if he was answering the most important question in the world, and with the most sincere attitude in the world:

The highest form of satire is sincere, honest, frank, friendly and perfect.

The Los Angeles Times still needed to continue asking, "So, the last action doesn't have any special meaning?"

Gao Wen, "Yes, of course."

Wait, is Gawain ready to fire?

Apparently... not.

“It’s a tribute to victory, but it’s also a tribute to dreams.”

"I once said in an interview that when I was ten years old, I watched the men's singles semi-finals of the 100th Australian Open."

"Marat Safin vs. Roger Federer, that match lasted five sets, it was thrilling and absolutely wonderful, showing the offensive of tennis to its fullest extent, making people marvel that tennis can be so violent and yet so elegant at the same time."

“From then on, I had a dream.”

"I'm eager to fight on Rod Laver Arena and I'm eager to fight to the very end at Melbourne Park without holding back."

"The most wonderful and moving part of competitive sports is not winning or losing, but a challenge, a challenge to one's opponent and to one's own limits, a spirit of fighting to the end and never giving up, a spirit of sweating and fighting to the end and then letting life bloom brilliantly, which is enough to make one's blood boil."

“To this day, I still believe it.”

"I am still the little boy who forgot to eat because he was squatting in front of the TV watching the live broadcast and was scolded by his mother. I am still the little boy who dares to dream, believes in dreams and is chasing dreams. So, I raised my index finger and embraced the response given to me by this stadium."

"I still hope to fight here, I still hope to win here, and I still hope to keep pushing myself to new limits here."

“Maybe, I’m a little stupid, but I’m still dreaming.”

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Slowly and leisurely, he tells the story.

The eloquent words did not feel lengthy at all. The flowing story made the reporters immersed in it. The smiles on their lips and the light in their eyes were sparkling.

In the face of dreams, the behavior of those fans at Hisense Stadium was so despicable and dirty, which not only brought discredit to the Australian Open and Australia; more importantly, they destroyed the spirit of competitive sports.

People always say that Tomic lacks respect for himself, the audience, and the sport of tennis; but today, it was the fans who slapped themselves in the face.

There is no doubt that the scene at Hisense Arena today will go down in history as ugly and embarrassing, and will become a moment of shame for tennis fans around the world, especially at this moment in the post-match press conference, when nothing can escape the honesty and integrity of Gawain.

This is where Gao Wen’s smartest move is: he cursed without using any dirty words, he didn’t yell or get indignant, he didn’t even confront the fans, but instead he went straight to a whole new level and used the light of dreams to expose all the filth and dirt.

Moreover, the line was drawn quietly, and Australian fans were instantly isolated and helpless, while fans around the world were willing to stand behind Gawain.

Home court is no longer home court; away court is no longer away court. The situation has reversed invisibly. When Gawain steps onto the court again, he will not be alone.

Then, Gawain raised his right index finger again, making the same gesture as after the game. His eyes were clear, so calm and generous, looking straight ahead, and a smile blossomed.

He is the first, the only, and the purest, simplest, and most original. Even now, he is still the child who believes in dreams and miracles.

The sixth update.
