Chapter 855: On-site defection
Snap!
Snap!
Snap! Snap!
Yu Jia, unable to hold back, and not wanting to hold back, was the first to clap his hands, applauding Gao Wen, using all his strength——
This is a response.
The response to the provocation and attack from the home fans was an upright and aboveboard response, which instantly made those shameful actions of the home fans become so ugly and so dirty.
Actions are always more powerful than words. Gawain did not clash with the fans on the court, but fought back strongly with a victory and a smile.
Mockery? Taunting? Disdain? Attack? No, Gawain chose a more brilliant way, once again showing his unique style with his heart and will.
Bang Bang Bang! Yu Jia's heart surged and tears filled his eyes. Even though he was well-informed and had experienced countless storms and waves, and had also witnessed countless bloody scenes of tit-for-tat confrontations between big-name players, fans and the media, he had never seen a player like this, whose expression and gesture could make people's blood boil.
Since the US Open, the pressure on Gao Wen's shoulders has been piling up little by little. Even if there is no mistake, the media and fans can find some faults. No matter how careful and rigorous one is, mistakes can still be made, and the slightest mistake may lead to a huge amount of criticism.
Who could have imagined that such a draw would be placed in front of Gawain, facing the home team players for three consecutive rounds on Australian soil, and then they witnessed Gawain slapping the host team in the face again and again, and the already shaky pressure collapsed.
but!
Gawain's response was so wise and so strong. The light that shone from within made all attacks, traps and curses seem insignificant.
pretty!
Yu Jia no longer wanted to control himself, and he refused to control himself. Even though he was surrounded by wolves and in the middle of a group of Australian reporters, he stood up without hesitation, gave applause, and stared at Gao Wen intently, with unprecedented determination, and became Gao Wen's backer in this way.
And it wasn't just Yu Jia who was applauding! Clap! Clap! More than half of the reporters in the press conference room started to applaud, the applause getting louder and louder.
The whole audience roared.
Australian local media are somewhat powerless.
They tried to provoke Gawain, they tried to create conflict, they tried to divert attention, they tried to cover up and defend the behavior of the home fans, and then portray Gawain as a ferocious villain with a green face and fangs, who was hostile to the whole of Australia.
However, they failed.
In front of Gawain's frankness and sincerity, in front of a child with an innocent heart, they were defeated and even felt guilty and ashamed for the dirty and ugly thoughts in their minds.
Amid the roar of applause from the audience, the Australian journalists felt an unprecedented loneliness: this should have been their home court, and Gawain should have been facing the whole world on his own; but why did they now feel as if they were on an away field, facing the combined forces of the whole world in an awkward position?
What is going on?
So, what should we do now? Give up? Of course not!
The arrow was on the string and had to be shot. After Gawain defeated three Australian players in a row, the entire social network had already gathered here. Coupled with the potential matchup in the fourth round, the topic reached a new height. How could the local reporters let Gawain go easily? Even if they wanted to do so, the home fans would not be willing.
You can’t retreat! You can’t give in! Absolutely not!
If one plan fails, come up with another one——
Since the "Gowon VS fans" tactic no longer works, they will just ignore the "wrong example" of the home fans today. Anyway, Gowon did not condemn the fans' behavior, right?
This is not the first time that media reporters have tried to cover up their mistakes while trying to steal the bell.
Now what they need to do is to divert the conflict. Gao Wen deliberately elevated the entire topic to a new level, and what the reporters need to do is to bring the conflict back to the ground, make it more down-to-earth and specific.
for example--
"Gowon, you have played against Australian players three times in a row, and you may play against Kyrgios next. If it happens, it will be four games in a row. What do you think about this?"
dream?
Too grand, too distant and too abstract.
But when it comes to each game, it becomes much more vivid and it is easier to stir up hatred, and reporters will never miss the opportunity to fan the flames.
The air in the No. 1 press conference room was boiling and bubbling. All eyes were focused on Gawain. One could even feel the temperature in the room slowly rising. The carbon dioxide produced with every breath was suffocating, and the beating of the heart was about to explode.
For a moment, everyone held their breath, waiting for Gawain's answer.
However, Gao Wen was not panicked at all, and there was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was not aware of the swordplay at the scene at all.
"My luck?"
The ending of Gao Wen's words rose slightly, a little light and a little joking. Facing the fierce and aggressive reporters, he defuses the edge with little effort.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Obviously, playing against the Australian players at Melbourne Park, it not only ensures attendances but it ensures the fans remember my name."
“I should be grateful for that.”
Haha, so clever! The same question, but with a different approach, the whole story is completely different. The reporters have to admire Gao Wen's response.
Then, the subject changed.
"Of course, playing away games is never easy. Facing Australian players means I need to face more pressure. Experiencing Melbourne Park in this way will be unforgettable. It also further establishes the status of the Australian Open in my mind."
Haha, so funny! Gao Wen's tone clearly contained a little self-mockery and ridicule, and at the same time, it echoed the previous conversation about dreams, facing the predicament with a positive attitude.
Even the Australian media had to admit that this response was indeed clever.
"After I go back, I should check the archives to see if there are other players who have experienced such a test before. If not, this should be a very good chapter in my autobiography, which can be spent on some heavy words and should be very attractive to readers."
"Does that mean I should start writing in my diary now?"
Ha ha ha ha.
The whole audience burst into laughter.
When the Australian reporters realized that not only was the whole audience laughing, but they themselves could not control their laughter, the situation was really, really bad: not only were they unable to besiege Gawain, they were also unable to fan the flames, and they were watching Gawain trying to "bribe" the reporters. Maybe Australian fans were really going to fall in love with him.
After all, who can resist a player who is "funny, knows how to act, is motivated, handsome, and can win all the time? "
