Match point

Chapter 966
"Thank you."

"thanks, thanks."

While waiting for the awards ceremony to end, it was already early in the morning in Melbourne local time, and Gao Wen finally left the Rod Laver Stadium and returned to the player lounge.

Along the way, event organizers, caddies, volunteers, and familiar and unfamiliar faces all congratulated Gao Wen.

Gao Wen kept smiling all the time, looked at each other one by one, and sincerely expressed his thanks. He walked for nearly 10 minutes after a short distance of tens of meters, and finally saw the familiar warm-up exercise equipment in the lounge, and the yoga mats neatly laid out on the ground immediately came into view.

As soon as the knees softened, the calves seemed to finally be unable to support the body anymore, and they collapsed down, paralyzed on the yoga mat, just wanting to sleep like this.

Until now, I can finally relax a little.

The adrenaline slowly wears off, the tense heartstrings relax, and the fatigue and soreness of the body slowly begin to appear, and everything becomes more and more obvious.

Five hours and three 10 minutes of fierce battle, including accidents and turning points comparable to a roller coaster, a double test of physical strength and spirit.

Numbers and words are simply not enough to express one-tenth of the personal experience, and even the audience who watched the entire game seemed to be fished out of the water.

It turned out that this was the feeling of being hollowed out of the body and soul after all the power of the wild was used.

Now, Gao Wen couldn't think at all.

The whole brain is blank, what is joy, what is happiness, what is the creation of history, what is the brilliance of writing, all are not important, these are temporarily put aside, just want to relax, empty the brain, and feel the release of the whole person slowly melting, It's like marshmallows melted into hot chocolate.

"what……"

Gao Wen slumped on the yoga mat, closed his eyes, and let out a long, long breath as if floating in the soft clouds.

Seeing Gao Wen like this, Sampras who was following behind couldn't help but chuckled, "This guy, only at this time is like a child."

Pelt's face was expressionless, and people who didn't know why thought that Gao Wen had lost, "That's not okay, a professional player shouldn't be a child."

"Now is the best time to continue training. Do you know how precious and rare this opportunity is? Oh, yes, you are all professional players, obviously you should know."

What is the key to physical training?
Break through yourself.

If you keep standing still, physical training will never break your own capacity and tap your potential; only by breaking the ceiling again and again, constantly breaking through your limits, and constantly breaking your own shackles, can you continue to tap your own potential and complete qualitative achievements. Metamorphosis.

During this year's offseason, Gao Wen's physical training was very hard, and the results were outstanding, and he has indeed improved to a higher level.

However, this is still not enough.

The point is that Gao Wen is no longer a "dark horse", but a "target", which also means that the impact and challenges Gao Wen will face in the future will be more arduous, and the standard of physical reserve must also be raised to a higher level building.

This time at the Australian Open, that is the case.

Look at tonight's final, the most intuitive.

In the first two sets, both Gao Wen and Djokovic were in an unstable state, fluctuating to a certain extent, with many mistakes and poor hand feeling.

Pelt had no way of knowing the specific condition of Djokovic; but Gao Wen said that he was indeed troubled by physical fitness, and the calf cramp in the semifinals was a signal.

A layman may ask, how is that possible?

Judging from the scores, both Djokovic and Gao Wen had a very easy journey to the Australian Open this year. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the two most successful promotion players among all male players this year.

How can it be possible to face physical difficulties?

But competitive sports are not that simple.

The consumption caused by competition intensity, atmospheric pressure, mental confrontation, one's own condition, etc. are all hidden burdens, but they actually affect the fluctuation of physical fitness and state.

For Djokovic and Gao Wen, the off-court significance of this final is far beyond imagination.

It is precisely because of this that when he entered the final stage, his physical condition was not at its best. Coupled with the hot and humid weather, the amount of sweating increased, the loss of salt and energy increased, and the energy replenishment at the beginning of the game could not keep up. The speed of the loss, so the problem arises.

Gao Wen seemed a little "out of shape", and Djokovic also appeared frequently.

It can be seen from this that Gao Wen still has room for improvement.

By the time the game was over, Pelt was already thinking about Gawain's next step in physical training, and don't forget that the clay court season is just around the corner—

It is also a match with two wins in three sets. On the hard court, the battle is often resolved within 10 minutes. This is a common situation; but on the clay court, it takes more than 120 minutes.

The length of the game, the content of the game, the quality of the game, these are two very different things.

Therefore, Pelt must take one step and look at three steps, and it is absolutely impossible to be in a hurry when things are imminent.

But the key point is that Pelt knows how hard Gao Wen's offseason training is. After breaking through the shackles and advancing to a higher level, the difficulty will inevitably double or even triple to five times if he improves again in a short period of time.

Breakthrough, qualitative change.

These require more hard and a lot of training.

Soon, Pelt realized that the best opportunity had actually appeared——

tonight!

It's tonight!

It's a perfect opportunity.

Five hours and [-] minutes of hard work is hard to come by, not to mention training, even the official game is rare; moreover, facing Djokovic in the grand slam final, the test of physical strength and spirit is even more serious. It is pushed to the extreme.

This is simply a godsend.

if!

It's just a hypothesis. If they can seize the opportunity and start physical training at this moment, they can indeed quickly force Gao Wen to approach his limit and even complete his transformation.

Inspiration surged uncontrollably in Pelt's mind.

However...Gao Wen was wasting such a great opportunity.

Pelt expressed dismay.

Sampras's temper also followed, "Martin, you should also know the principle of 'too much is too late', it is indeed a good thing to seize the opportunity to break through the limit; but if it is not handled properly, it may leave hidden dangers of injury, and even lead to the failure of the entire career. The cliff-like decline is also an issue that must be taken seriously.”

"Training, training, even pros shouldn't be thinking about training all the time, can't we relax a little bit and enjoy tonight?"

"You're a professional and you should know that too."

Pelt still had no expression on his face, and directly contradicted him, "Of course I know, if he trains under my supervision, such problems will not arise."

"For professional players, training is their life. If you want to rest, you will have a lot of time to lie on the ground and rest after you die."
