Match point

Chapter 1145 Professionalism
Going around in a big circle, and finally back to the original point.

In an instant, all the previous long speeches seemed to be reduced to nonsense, and the powerlessness of the chicken and duck talk emerged spontaneously. So, what are they doing?
However, Gao Wen was not angry, because there was no need; instead, he showed a polite smile.

"Right now, for me, the only thing that matters is the next game."

"It's never been easy against Thomas, and it's always been one of his best surfaces, so I need to play my best."

Simple, but effective.

The reporter's complacency hadn't had time to last, and was snuffed out by Gao Wen in a blink of an eye. He was a little anxious, and asked another question.

"Another semi-final, Novak vs Andy..."

Unfortunately, before the question could be finished, Gao Wen raised his hand to stop him, with a polite smile still on his face.

"Sorry for interrupting, although I don't know what your question is, but as I answered, the only thing I have to care about right now is Thomas."

"As for the problems of Novak and Andy, they are not the focus of my attention today. I hope you can respect the game and every player."

The reporter: Uh...

Words are poor.

Wait, why are people laughing at the scene?

Indeed, the reporter's question just brought the focus back to the ground again, and made Gao Wen feel a little embarrassed, experiencing the feeling of "a scholar meets a soldier". Such a situation is really rare , so that other colleagues could not control their smiles.

But what about it?

The great thing about Gao Wen is that he is calm enough and wise enough. He is rarely irritated by reporters, and he is always able to grasp the key points.

For such a simple and rude question, Gao Wen has a thousand ways to bring the topic to an end, and he can make the reporter feel bored without any effort——

Answer in a well-regulated manner, keep polite, keep the bottom line, keep objective, respond positively, and then cut off all possibilities and end the conversation.

It's boring and tedious, with no room for interpretation and no possibility of extension.

Such a question has no news value at all. Compared with Gao Wen's previous question and answer, it is far behind and not on the same level.

So, what now?
If the reporter accepts it as soon as it’s good, then things won’t be too ugly, and if it’s boring, it’s boring. Anyway, tennis reporters are used to it.

However, if that reporter persists...

"Gao Wen, obviously, you are the more favored side in the semifinals. Don't you have confidence?"

heh.

The reporter knew at a glance that it was a straight person. After all, he couldn't hold it back. He couldn't control the anger of being humiliated, so he continued to ask questions.

Colleagues at the scene couldn't help but take a breath——

Of course they won't stop that reporter. After all, they also need to make a splash, even if the price is to sacrifice their colleagues, but what does that matter?
Anyway, as long as the one being sacrificed is not yourself.

So, the reporters were eating melons and watching the show one by one, and then, the good show started!
Gao Wen showed a big smile, the corners of his mouth were raised, but there was no warmth in the smile, instead a chilling coldness erupted.

"I respect every opponent. I will never take victory for granted. I believe that Thomas and I will dedicate a wonderful game."

"That's all."

"If you think that the semifinals between me and Thomas are not worthy of attention, or that the matchups you are looking forward to are worthy of attention, then I tell you, you are wrong."

"Sir, I think you lack the basic respect for Thomas. At the same time, I also think you lack the basic literacy as a media practitioner."

"You are not worthy to be called a reporter, and I refuse to accept any questions from you."

Understatement, but powerful.

The audience was silent.

In fact, Gao Wen didn't deliberately raise his voice, nor did he emphasize his tone. He spoke calmly as if discussing the weather.

But these words were poured down layer upon layer, and finally turned into heavy pressure, pressing heavily on the chest of every reporter at the scene.

with full force.

So much so that the reporters who were watching the play couldn't help but avert their eyes. No one wanted to look directly into Gao Wen's eyes at this moment.

From calm and breezy to thunderous, Gao Wen vividly interpreted the profound meaning of "toasting and not eating fine wine". Posture cuts off all possibilities.

Row!
Now all reporters are restrained, not only the reporter who thinks he is smart, other reporters dare not easily touch the taboo.

A second ago, the reporters were still eating melons and watching the show.

In the next second, a pair of glaring eyes projected towards the culprit, almost burning him to death.

Where is the reporter?

He shrunk his neck dejectedly, took a seat furtively, and tried his best to hide his movements, lest any slight movement might arouse public anger; but even so, it was still useless, the eyes flocking from all directions were enough to swallow him up.

Later, he also tucked his tail and left the press conference room, leaving the venue early.

However, it was too late.

Even though the press conference is still going on, the reporters are very restrained. No one dares to stir up sensitive topics again, lest they become the next cannon fodder to be sacrificed in the mouth of the Tyrannosaurus rex. The worst thing is that they cannot detonate the topic even if they sacrifice themselves , Isn't that sacrifice in vain?
Unexpected but reasonable, the press conference later sparked widespread discussion on social networks——

On the field, Gao Wen stood out in the "Youth Storm".

Off the court, Gao Wen is also establishing a positive image of speaking out.

The video clip of "Gao Wen VS Reporter" ignited hot spots on social networks, and Gao Wen easily won countless supports, and his popularity continued to rise.

Of course, these are all things for later, and they are all off-topic, not directly related to the competition.

For Gao Wen, those words are all serious, he needs to prepare well for the semi-finals; moreover, Berdych is indeed worthy of respect.

In the nine masters throughout the year, Miami has always been the most stable and outstanding one for Berdych.

Since reaching the final here in 2010 but unfortunately losing to Roddick, in the next four years, Berdych has advanced to the quarter-finals for two consecutive years and the semi-finals for two consecutive years.

This year, Berdych has entered the final four stage for three consecutive years. His stable and strong performance proves that Miami's playing environment is very suitable for him.

However, Miami was plagued by injuries last year. After the final four seats were decided, Berdych and Kei Nishikori both chose to retire before the game due to injuries, and Nadal and Djokovic were recommended to the finals. The cancellation of both finals has not been common in the ATP Tour for many years.

This year, Berdych once again played steadily and advanced all the way to the semi-finals. Obviously, he is also eager to break through the curse of the semi-finals and return to the final stage after four years.

Gao Wen, you really need to go all out.
