Match point

Chapter 963
Two full weeks of fierce battles, the suspense of "Big Four VS Challengers", the anxiety of "Gao Wen VS Hosts", the collision of upsets and popular expectations, a new chapter of rivalry and contention, men's tennis standing at the crossroads of history, Controversy and chaos, exciting and exciting heat waves...

at last!

ushered in the end.

Gao Wen, the champion!
Roaring, sweeping the audience, like a tropical storm.

Gao Wen walked up to the podium amidst the boiling heat wave, and then saw the white-haired, kind-hearted old Mr. Laver, waiting for him beside the trophy.

There was a bright smile on the face of this legendary figure, even if he was a little tired, he couldn't hide the happiness and enjoyment from his brows.

Then, he hunched over and gave Gawain a hug, patted Gawain's shoulder, and made a gesture with his eyes.

Gawain immediately bent his knees obediently to maintain a squatting posture, Mr. Laver whispered in his ear.

"I haven't seen such a wonderful game for a long time. Thank you for reawakening my enthusiasm. This old bone also wants to return to the court to play two rounds."

Kind, sincere, with a touch of the cuteness of an old urchin.

The smile in Gao Wen's eyes flowed like this, "If Mr. Laver doesn't mind, I am willing to be a training partner. I hope to have such an honor."

The old Mr. Laver laughed happily, "For tennis, we can wait a little longer. Why don't we make an appointment for golf first?"

Gawain was dumbfounded, and stuttered once in a while: Golf?This is seven orifices connected to six orifices, and nothing is understood.

The old Mr. Laver smiled, and then handed the championship trophy to Gao Wen, "Hurry up, this trophy is really too heavy, I won't be able to hold it."

In a panic, Gao Wen quickly took the trophy.

That cautious look made old Mr. Laver laugh again, and then he stepped aside, leaving the center of the spotlight to Gawain.

Gao Wen didn't have time to pay attention to these, because——

Shen.

It's heartfelt and definitely full of weight.

The men's singles championship trophy at the Australian Open is called the "Norman-Brookes-Challenge-Cup".

The trophy is named to commemorate the outstanding Australian tennis player Norman Brooks in the early 1911th century. Before the Open era, he was the world's top player. Won the Australian Open in [-].

In 1934, the Australian Open first awarded the championship trophy, so it was named after Norman Brooks.

In a blink of an eye, 81 years have passed like this, passed down from generation to generation, and now it is in the hands of Gao Wen.

The weight of the trophy is beyond imagination, and it weighs heavily on the arm. You can feel the weight of this champion and the weight of historical inheritance in your arms.

Time and time have evolved into the names of champions one after another, and the records are engraved on the trophies. Next, Gao Wen's name will become the next one.

In an instant, my mood surged again.

With his fingertips, he lightly brushed the names on the base of the trophy. Then, Gawain grabbed the base with both hands, lifted it high, and climbed to the top to be crowned!

Ahhhhh!
oh oh oh!
hoo hoo hoo!
In the audience, there was thunder, mighty, continuous, and everyone's heart was surging, because they were witnessing the birth of another history.

This time, alone, it was the turn of the Australian fans.

Even the Serbian fans seemed relieved and stood up one after another to applaud Gao Wen.

Only the host fans are an exception, and the roaring sound of the audience engulfs them——

Competitive sports, transcending victory and defeat, transcending race, transcending national boundaries, transcending age, transcending gender, and even transcending differences, the pure and simple competitive spirit, constantly challenging oneself and constantly challenging the limit, purely chasing the ultimate of human beings, this is the ultimate The most beautiful and the most shining.

Tonight, Gao Wen demonstrated this with practical actions.

The ups and downs, twists and turns, and reversals of the game process condensed Gao Wen's two-week journey in Melbourne Park into the glory of this moment.

The Australian fans looked at Gao Wen who was holding up the championship trophy. His tear-filled eyes were full of stars and seas. It was the light of dreams and the power of faith.

Across the entire stadium, one can also deeply feel the high spirits that are hitting, burning, and gushing in Gao Wen's chest.

Involuntarily, the hearts of the fans of the host country also beat together.

And who can refuse such a game?

So, should they cheer for Gao Wen?Should they applaud Gao Wen?Should they put aside their prejudices and positions to pay homage to this game?

"Come on, Gao Wen!"

"Well done, Gawain!"

"Girl knight, I love you!"

Gao Wen put the Norman-Brooks Challenge Cup back on the podium, stood in front of the microphone, and was about to deliver his acceptance speech, but found that the scene couldn't calm down——

Sure enough, it is still the iconic noise of Melbourne Park.

Moreover, tonight is different from Flushing last year. Although Gao Wen still plays the role of the dark horse of the next criminal, he is no longer a nobody.

In just six months, many things have changed.

Gawain glanced at the microphone in front of him, and replied casually.

"Thank you, although I wanted to answer 'me too', but considering my mother has not heard me say this sentence, she should be staring at me at this moment, so I can only say here. "

……Hahaha.

Rod Laver Stadium did not expect such a response from Gao Wen at all, and instantly became a sea of ​​laughter.

This improvisation is really powerful.

The corners of Gao Wen's mouth also rose slightly, and he returned to the topic and continued talking.

"Thank you, thank you for being willing to come to this stadium to watch the game tonight."

"A long, long time ago, I have been looking forward to playing on this court, because I heard that this court is engraved with a famous quote from Mr. Rod Laver, 'The weakest time in tennis is when you are leading. ', this is also my game motto, so I have been looking forward to stepping on this court to play."

"Tonight, dreams finally come true."

"It's an honor for me, but I'm not sure, I hope the audience will enjoy tonight's game."

Having said that, the words paused for a while, and looked around the audience——

Double entendre.

This year, Gawain played against the three giants in the three games at Rod Laver Stadium. Coupled with off-court reasons, he has not been the darling of the audience, and the overwhelming boos are even more normal. The late "seven-point chaos" is undoubtedly another history.

Right now, Gao Wen is asking:

Australia, do you like this game?

This is both a sarcasm and a ridicule, light but clever, sharp and intelligent.

Then, the cheers slowly gathered, becoming more and more turbulent, more joyful and more intense. In a blink of an eye, it has evolved into a roaring wave of whistles and applause, roaring in the audience like the Milky Way falling into the sky, and the boiling air It evolved into a sea of ​​flames and spread vigorously.
