Chapter 390
buzzing.

buzzing.

The draft brought the noise inside and outside the stadium, and the spectators coming and going were discussing, chattering about the unpopularity that had just ended, and rustling about the upcoming duel, and you could feel it in your words and deeds. to the enthusiasm and anticipation of the audience.

In Louis Armstrong's third game, the high-profile Canadian star Bouchard was upset by Makarova and was eliminated in the fourth round. This also created her personal worst record in the four Grand Slams this year——

Both the Australian Open and the French Open are semi-finals, Wimbledon is the runner-up, but now the US Open is only the semi-finals.

Moreover, the progress of the game was not good. Bouchard lost two sets in a row and easily disarmed without too much confrontation. The audience was naturally dissatisfied.

Involuntarily, everyone was full of expectations for the next game, looking forward to a strong confrontation. Compared with winning or losing, they just hoped to see a duel worth the fare.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of discussions, Gao Wen was listening to a song and tying his shoelaces.

Listening to music is to relax, to exclude other distractions in the locker room, to slowly gather concentration, and to ensure that you enter the state of the game.

The shoelaces are a personal habit. He is always worried that the shoelaces will loosen, so he needs to untie the shoelaces and tie them again before going on stage. This is an obsessive-compulsive disorder, even if he knows it is unnecessary, he still has to do it.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the change in the light in the player channel, and it should be that a player has left the field.

Gao Wen hurriedly stood up straight and applauded politely, giving applause to the players who worked hard.

You can see Bouchard exuding a stern aura of "don't get close to strangers" from head to toe. His delicate face is not as sweet as in the posters and advertisements. The deep gloom is knotted between the brows, which looks like a A powder keg that could explode at any moment.

As if hearing the applause, Bouchard raised his head, and he could see Gao Wen standing on the left side at a glance. His anger burst through his chest in an instant, and there was a murderous aura in his eyes, as if he wanted to grab the man in front of him and eat him. As if his flesh was drinking his blood, undisguised torrents of anger spewed out like this, hitting Gawain head-on and face-to-face.

but……

Gao Wen's face was full of innocence. Not only was he not afraid or flinching, but he also showed a shallow smile, clenched his right fist and swung it vigorously, encouraging Bouchard with an extremely sincere gesture, as if " In "Chibi", Xiao Qiao encouraged the newly born foal with all her heart:
Come on, Mengmeng, stand up!

Bouchard: ...

He almost exploded in his chest in one breath, but in the end he suppressed his anger, ignored Gao Wen, and strode forward, but he still couldn't hold back, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and lowered his eyes. His head seemed to be covering up his grievances and fragility.

Gawain looked away, only to see Wawrinka, who was warming up on the other side, looking at Gawain with an expression of "I know what's going on", and his eyes were sneaking back and forth between Gawain and Bouchard's backs , with a mysterious expression of "you know, I know" on the corner of his mouth.

Gao Wen:?
"...Stan, are you misunderstanding something?"

Wawrinka did chuckle and shook his head, "It's okay, I know, I know everything."

Wait, Mr. Wawrinka, what do you know?Are you sure you didn't get it wrong?

At this time, Makarova began to be interviewed inside the stadium, and the long cheers and applause were overwhelmed, and the communication between Gawain and Wawrinka was interrupted before it had time to start.

Gawain was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. It was a joke. It was just a joke. There was no need to care about it. Wawrinka didn’t say anything anyway. Then Gawain withdrew his attention and continued to bend over to tie his shoelaces. Miscellaneous thoughts behind.

Now, the game is the most important thing, he needs to focus.

After looking at the shoelaces, Gao Wen decided to take them off and tie them again.

……

"Friends of the audience, friends of the audience, good afternoon, welcome to ESPN, what we are broadcasting for you is the live broadcast of the eighth match day of the 2014 U.S. Open, and now the screen signal is aimed at the Louis Armstrong Stadium."

"The two players currently on the court are Switzerland's Stan Wawrinka and China's Gao Wen, and they will compete for a spot in the quarterfinals."

"Wawrinka is the No. [-] seed in this tournament. His best result at the US Open was last year's semi-finals. This year he will also strive to go further in this venue."

"Gao Wen is a wild card player. He won this wild card by virtue of the NCAA singles championship. This is his first official professional tournament in his career."

In the pre-match introduction session, the live broadcast camera will be aimed at the two players separately, so that the commentator can give a basic introduction, and then it will be aimed at the referee and the player boxes of the two players, so that the commentator can introduce the coaching team of the players. Fixed process.

"...Oh, what appears on the screen is Gawain's player's box. We can see two legends, Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi. Wow, this lineup is a bit luxurious."

"According to official information, Sampras is not Gao Wen's coach, but a consultant. Sampras said in an interview that he was only responsible for giving Gao Wen some advice to help him adapt to the atmosphere of the Grand Slam. But it is not in charge of Gao Wen's training, because Gao Wen is still a college student and has not yet turned into a professional."

"Then Agassi..."

hoo hoo hoo!
Ahhhhh!
When the faces of Sampras and Agassi appeared on the big screen above the court, the audience at the Louis Armstrong Stadium whistled and applauded, welcoming the two great players in tennis history in the most enthusiastic and loudest way. Popular fest.

Obviously, even though the two superstars have retired, their popularity in the tennis court is still high. Now it is conceivable that everyone should be wondering why Sampras and Agassi appeared together in Gawain's player box Here, the social network should have gone into volcanic eruption mode.

Agassi waved at the camera with a smile, then moved closer to Sampras, lowering his voice and asking almost ventriloquically.

"Are you sure it's okay?"

For a newcomer like Gao Wen, there must be a lot of gossip outside the player's box, especially Gao Wen's performance in this competition is indeed turned out. The mysterious aura surrounding him has caused countless speculations, but now Sang The two old opponents, Plath and Agassi, appear at the same time, and it is estimated that they will explode ten times and a hundred times——

So, will this affect Gao Wen's concentration?
Sampras also moved slightly closer to Agassi, smiling.

"If you mind, you don't have to show up at all. It seems that you are still curious."

Agassi turned his head and glared at Sampras blankly, which made Sampras laugh happily:
In fact, Agassi would appear in Gao Wen's player's box, which was an invitation sent by Gao Wen himself.
