Chapter 922 Knee Trembling
"Gawain! I love you! Please win the championship!"
From the spectator stands near the player tunnel, there was a hoarse shout, and one could even faintly detect a cry hidden in it.
Gawain stopped and looked towards the source of the sound. A bright smile bloomed on the corners of his mouth, and the lights and stars in the sky were reflected in the depths of his eyes.
"Thanks!"
He said.
If possible, Gao Wen also hopes to stay for a while to thank the fans for their support, especially the Rod Laver Arena where the recent games have been held. For the fans, this is like a den of dragons and tigers. Every fan who shows up at the scene to cheer is very precious.
However, Gao Wen had already stayed at the entrance of the player tunnel for nearly ten minutes, signing tennis balls one after another.
There is also a veterans competition waiting to come, which is the final highlight of the day's competition.
In order to avoid delaying the race, the staff had urged Gao Wen twice that he had to leave.
So, Gawain spoke loudly.
"See you in the finals."
The fans were in an uproar, and even quite a few girls could be seen screaming and cheering excitedly.
Gawain bent down to pick up his equipment bag, but without warning, he felt dizzy and his knees went weak. The heavy equipment bag pulled his body down, and the surging energy of gravity broke his balance. He staggered and almost fell, so he simply squatted down where he was.
"ah!"
"Gawain!"
At the entrance to the player tunnel, a burst of exclamations and panicked sounds surged in my ears.
But Gao Wen had no time to care about these things.
My calves were trembling, and I felt as if I could feel hundreds of butterflies flapping their wings in my stomach, and my internal organs were beginning to churn.
Double overdraft on the physical and mental levels.
Although judging from the score results, Gao Wen advanced smoothly all the way and encountered almost no challenges, the course of the game was another story.
Especially the last three.
The impact of Kyrgios, the pressure from the home crowd, the dangers of consecutive matches against Nadal and Murray, step by step, layer by layer, connecting the pressure.
In fact, when the match reached the third set today, Gao Wen already felt the stiffness of his calf muscles, and there were some signs of cramps, but Gao Wen continued to massage to relieve the pain during the break between games. At the same time, his attention was completely focused on the game, so he temporarily put it out of his mind.
Against Nadal and Murray, the scores seemed easy and simple, but the actual consumption was unimaginable and far more intense than last year's US Open.
If it weren't for his hard physical training during the off-season this year, it would have been difficult for Gao Wen to maintain such a high level of performance after reaching this stage of the Australian Open this year.
Even so, after the game, the heavy pressure on my shoulders was relieved, but my body still protested.
In any case, this is another milestone in Gao Wen's career, not only because he advanced to the Australian Open final, but more because he defeated two giants, Nadal and Murray, in a row. For any male singles player in the past decade, this is a feat.
In addition to joy and happiness, Gao Wen also needs a little space to relax and then prepare for the upcoming finals.
My knees are shaking.
"Sir, are you okay?"
A voice came from far away and gradually approached my ear. After a brief lack of oxygen, my brain regained its sense of consciousness and caught the words amidst the noise.
"It's okay." Gao Wen looked up and saw a child dressed as a caddy standing in front of him with a worried look on his face. He had recovered by now and took a deep breath to regain his breathing rhythm. "Wait, you are that child, right? We met at the Margaret Court Golf Course."
The ball caddy in front of him was the one who was almost hit by Kyrgios' racket during the match between Gawain and Kyrgios.
The caddy's face instantly lit up. He never expected that Gawain still remembered him. The surging emotions made his voice tremble slightly uncontrollably.
"Yes, sir."
"Are you okay? I mean, are you not suffering from any psychological trauma?"
"No, no, no."
Gawain raised his chin slightly, the smile on his lips still light and bright, without any embarrassment or embarrassment of sweating profusely, "This is really good news, you are a brave child. Now it seems that I may need a little help, can you support me to stand up?"
The caddy nodded randomly and hurried forward to act as a crutch, supporting Gawain, who then staggered to his feet with the help of the force.
The muscles in my calves were still trembling.
call……
Gao Wen let out a long breath and regained his balance.
"Sir, let me help you carry your golf bag back to the locker room." The caddy bravely offered to help.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Gawain had a faint smile in his eyes, "Thank you very much, I know you really want to help, thank you very much for your willingness to help. However, this is my battle, and this battle is not over yet, so I must rely on myself to go on, I will never surrender."
The caddy was slightly stunned. Wasn't the game over? Why did Gawain say it wasn't over yet? Gawain picked up his golf bag again, raised his head, straightened his chest, and took a step. Although his steps were still a little clumsy, his steps were so firm.
The caddie watched Gawain's back slowly disappear into the player tunnel. The billboards of past champions on both sides reflected a faint halo, outlining the outline of the tall figure.
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in the caddy's head, and then everything clicked.
finals!
This battle is indeed not over yet. There is still one final battle, a decisive battle on the top of the Forbidden City; and Gawain will still fight to the end.
Thinking of this, the caddy couldn't help but straighten his back. A seed of dream took root deep in his soul and then grew vigorously.
When Gao Wen returned to the players' lounge, Jiang Yanyun and Gao Hongli rushed up to him and looked him up and down with worry on their faces.
"Mom, I'm fine, really."
Although Gao Wen said this, Jiang Yanyun didn't believe it at all. The previous second, they returned to the locker room happily and celebrated the victory; the next second, they saw Gao Wen's knees collapsed on the TV screen. All the joy froze in place and they were filled with worry.
"Mom, I'm fine, really. You look at me like this, as if I were still a baby, with so many people coming and going and looking at me."
Although he knew that Gao Wen was just talking nonsense, Jiang Yanyun still couldn't help it. His smile was about to break, but he controlled himself at the last moment and patted the back of Gao Wen's head. However, due to the height difference, he missed and patted his neck with a crisp sound.
"In my eyes, you are just a child. No matter how old you are, you are still a child."
Gawain looked obedient, bent his knees, and stretched out the back of his head.
Jiang Yanyun looked at his son who was like a funny guy, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, but he still did not forget the important matter, "What happened just now? You really scared me to death."
"I just have a cramp in my calf, that's all." Gao Wen answered, but Jiang Yanyun didn't believe it at all and his eyes were full of suspicion.
If one move doesn’t work, think of another one.
Gao Wen pretended to wail, "Mom, actually, I'm exhausted and can barely stand. How about this, I go get a massage first, and you can continue when I come back?"
