Match point

Chapter 532
When everyone was still looking at Gawain as a dark horse, Martin knew that his disciple had already shown the appearance of a champion, and the match against Wawrinka was a turning point, marking the moment when Gawain truly completed his transformation on the field. The game will become a matter of course.

At this time, the same is true——

When everyone was still amazed at the fact that Gao Wen won the championship for the first time in the Grand Slam, Martin was already looking forward to the future. He knew that Gao Wen needed a wider stage to spread his wings and soar towards the sky. The NCAA should not Become an obstacle that prevents him from challenging his limits.

Looking at Gao Wen in front of him, his brows were brimming with happiness and joy, but there was a touch of reluctance and regret in his eyes.

Usually, Gao Wen, who is humorous and unhurried in the media, shows a little childishness, standing in front of the elders like a child who has done something wrong, anxiously seeking forgiveness, full of words and not knowing how to speak, slightly Lowering his head, he just looked at him quietly from the corner of his eyes.

It's a little awkward to see.

This made Martin both amused and relieved. He raised his hand, patted the back of Gawain's head, and smiled.

"Boy, thank you, I'm a Grand Slam champion coach now, we should celebrate and party."

Such a short sentence was full of mixed flavors, so that Gao Wen's eyes were slightly moist. He raised his head and looked at the coach with bright eyes.

Martin's voice was slightly choked, and thousands of words surged fiercely in his chest, but he quickly controlled himself, took a deep breath, and gently patted Gawain's shoulder with his right hand, expressing emotion Thousands, trying to sort out a thread from countless thoughts.

Gawain could understand the confusion and turmoil in Martin's eyes——

Thompson, who has decided to turn professional, is currently working hard in Europe, preparing for the European indoor hard court season after the Asian season.

Jilong is still hesitating and considering. He hasn't made a decision yet, but he has not returned to school. If there is no accident, he should also turn into a career.

If it goes according to the original plan, Martin is also ready for the new season this year, with Gawain and McDonald leading the way and becoming the main force for the Bruins to defend their title.

However, the madness at the end of August swept across the world in such a mighty way. Gao Wen's career trajectory was completely changed, and Martin's plan was also disrupted. This also means that the No. [-], No. [-], and No. About to turn professional, the defending champion was immediately caught in a difficult situation where no one was available.

Not surprisingly, McDonald will carry the banner of the Bruins' future, but because of the impact of the depth of the bench, Martin's employment must be stretched.

However, looking at it from another perspective, college players can successfully transfer to the professional arena and have the opportunity to challenge higher goals in the professional field. This is something worthy of joy and celebration, especially Gao Wen, who reached the top of the US Open The championship is also a crucial thing for UCLA --

I don’t know if Gao Wen saw it, but in fact, a banner saying “Congratulations to Gao Wen for winning the 2014 U.S. Open” was hung on the campus.

As a strong competitive team in the NCAA, UCLA wins college league championships almost every year, from different projects, and it is also a tradition to hang the championship banner; but this is the first time in the history of the school that a tennis player hangs a non-NCAA championship. banner.

The meaning is evident.

Gao Wen was able to successfully transfer to the professional game, and Martin was happier than anyone else. Those excitements, jumps, emotions, and happiness were rushing in his chest. He was sincerely proud of Gao Wen.

So, Martin is conflicted, happy and sad.

Just when Gao Wen knocked on the door and came in, Martin was really busy, reading the roster of this year's freshman, browsing the list of old players in the past, thinking about how to train and how to prepare for the new season, but the main lineup that won the championship last year Half of it must be replaced, and he is also a clever woman who can't cook without rice.

"coach……"

Gawain just opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Martin raised his hand to stop Gawain, shook his head slightly, and his eyes conveyed unusual firmness.

"You don't have to worry about me, and you don't have to worry about the players. We'll be fine. Have you forgotten? The essence of college tennis is not a profession, but a kind of competition and education, which is more important than winning or losing. The most important thing is to let the students develop the will not to give up easily in the face of difficulties."

"We're fine, trust me."

"More than anyone else, I hope that you can create a sky in the outside world. As for the record of the Bruins, it really doesn't matter."

"Whether it's you, Clay and Marcos, it's all the same, I understand, and more importantly, I support it."

Martin patted Gawain's shoulder vigorously, a light of determination flashed from his slightly reddened eyes, and hearty laughter surged gently in his chest.

"What's more, if the new U.S. Open champion doesn't turn professional, the ATP and NCAA will probably come to me to protest. I don't want to become the public enemy of the entire NCAA this season. Don't interfere with my defending plan."

puff.

Gawain also laughed lightly because of Martin's joke——

He is sad and regretful.

When he went to participate in the challenge competition, Gao Wen really had the intention of slowly improving himself in a down-to-earth manner, but everything happened too fast and too fast. In just two months, the world has completely changed. The parting came so unexpectedly.

As Martin said, after reaching the top of the U.S. Open, Tobias discussed the issue of changing careers with Gao Wen, and Gao Wen had already determined his mind since then:
He is eager to enter the professional arena, he is eager to stand on a higher stage and fight, he is eager to compete with more masters, he is eager to continuously challenge the limit and break through himself, and he is eager to stand in the center of the world and shine.For victory, but not just for victory.

then--

Before you have time to enjoy it, you have to say goodbye.

"coach……"

Gao Wen showed a smile, feeling slightly embarrassed.

"I miss school and I miss the team."

One sentence made Martin laugh out heartily again, patted Gawain's arm lightly, and nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know everything."

"Gao Wen, don't forget this original intention, remember why you came to the court, remember why you like tennis, the professional arena is cruel beyond imagination."

"You are no longer nobody, on the contrary, you are now a myth that turned out, so everyone wants to break the myth, everyone wants to prove that they can beat you, everyone wants to prove that your victory was a fluke , Even if it's not in the NCAA, the professional tennis world will treat you as a public enemy."

"You will face a more ferocious impact, far beyond imagination."

"However, I believe in you, I believe that you can withstand the pressure, I believe that you can prove yourself, and more importantly, I believe that you can climb to a higher peak."

"so……"

Martin looked at his disciple quietly, raised his right hand high, but finally lowered it lightly, and said earnestly.

"So, don't forget this love."
