Chapter 980 Meeting the Challenge
Looking at the smiling Gawain, a slight smile flashed in Pelt's eyes, but his expression remained unchanged, and he reprimanded him sternly.

"You still have the mind to make a joke. It seems that the amount of training is not enough, and you still have the mind to question my authority."

"No problem, I can fulfill your wish. Next, we will enter the nightmare mode, how about it?"

Shivering.

Obviously, Pelt's expression and voice didn't change much, but it could make people feel the cold bloody breath, which made people shudder.

Is this awakening the Cthulhu behemoth?
Gawain blinked his eyes, with an innocent expression on his face, "So it's been in normal mode so far?"

Pelt didn't speak, and looked at Gawain quietly.

As a result, Gao Wen let out a long breath, "That's good, that's good. I thought it was hell mode so far, so that's too disappointing, right?"

Pelt looked at Gao Wen who was gearing up, and couldn't help feeling amused, but his expression remained unchanged, "Boy, don't provoke me, otherwise you will suffer."

After finishing speaking, Pelt turned around and stepped forward, "Rest for 5 minutes, and now there are 3 minutes."

One step, two steps, three steps.

Pelt stopped abruptly, turned around, and then saw Gawain making a face, with an upturned nose and bloody mouth, and his entire face was distorted.

Freeze in one second.

Gawain immediately returned to his original state, showing a bright and sunny smile to Pelt, he was a harmless and good baby.

The corners of Pelt's eyes twitched a little. If anyone believes that this guy in front of him is a good baby, then it's really... a ghost.

After all, Pelt didn't say anything, turned around and continued to walk, and a word of Shi Shiran floated in the wind.

"2 minutes and 30 seconds..."

Gawain laughed heartily.

While there was still a little time, I summoned the system and scanned the data again:
Physical attributes, 90.

technical properties, 91.

Spiritual properties, 94.

Hidden Properties, 78(3).

Two important points.

First of all, the physical attributes finally broke through the ninety barriers, and flowers were thrown to celebrate.

Secondly, throughout the two weeks of the Australian Open, we experienced the test of the three giants and the fierce battle of the final five sets. However, the "return" was not as good as expected.

For one thing, only the spiritual attribute naturally increased a little.

Secondly, the growth potential value has only increased by three points. According to the order of precedence, hidden attributes, technical attributes, and physical attributes are each allocated one point.

Numbers are the most intuitive.

Throughout the offseason training, the attribute points increased by a total of seven points, but the entire Australian Open only had four points.

So, is it because the confrontation intensity of the Australian Open is not as strong as the training intensity during the offseason?

of course not.

To be precise, it should be that the bottleneck is gradually approaching, and with the improvement of strength, the difficulty of breaking through the bottleneck has also increased.

It is precisely because of this that even with such a level of confrontation at the Australian Open, the improvement brought about is slowing down.

In the future, this trend may become more and more obvious. At that time, if you want to break through the bottleneck, you may not be able to do it only by training and competition.

However, Gao Wen had a bold guess——

So far, he has always played on hard courts, from the NCAA to the Challenger League to professional events, all are hard courts, no matter fast or slow, indoors or outdoors, plastic or concrete, all are hard without exception. land.

So, is there such a possibility?
The strength of the hard court is about to touch the ceiling, but after switching the venue, can you cut in from different directions and usher in a breakthrough in another way?

For example, red soil, or grass.

This is indeed a possibility. After all, different venues have completely different requirements for players' playing styles. Although the younger generation of players basically does not distinguish between venues, switching to any venue is the same style of play, but the venue is different. The content is different, this is an objective fact.

An extremely unrepresentative but very interesting fact is:
Medvedev, when his world ranking has reached No. 2019 in the world, he has already contributed wonderful performances at the Australian Open and the US Open, and even reached the final of the US Open in 2021. However, until [-], it is still difficult for him to win the French Open. Seek a victory.

It can be seen from this that hard courts and clay courts are two different courts, and it is difficult for the same style of play to adapt to different court styles without adjustments.

For the upcoming clay-court season, Gao Wen was a little apprehensive, but also somewhat looking forward to it:

The reason for his anxiety is that he has only trained on clay, but has not played any official games, and even the training time is pitifully small.

The anticipation is because, after switching venues, we are indeed about to face new challenges, and it is really exciting to be able to explore a new field of tennis.

Now, the expectation value can be increased by another reason. After the opening of the clay court season, we will see if we can quickly break through the bottleneck and usher in a new rising period again.

However, the clay court season can wait. Before the opening of the European clay court season, the North American hard court season in the spring still has a climax.

In addition, although the attribute improvement is slightly lower than expected, but fortunately, the growth potential value is still increasing——

Slowly but surely improving.

Growth potential: 33.8%.

Just a series of basic training on footwork and hitting, the growth potential value has increased by 0.1%, not much, but mosquito legs are also meat, you should learn to cherish them.

After a whole year of rapid improvement last year, he should calm down now, don't rely too much on the convenient improvement brought by the system, and focus more on himself, focus on training and focus on the game——

The Australian Open final gave Gao Wen the biggest inspiration that strength is the foundation, which lays the foundation for one's own game, but on-the-spot performance is more important than strength.

Obviously, not all players can play 100% of their strength in all games, not even the Big Four.

Most of the time, players can only play about 80% of their strength, and in a long game, there may be peaks and valleys; more often, players may not be able to play 60% of their strength, and then the game will be over. Get stuck and out of nowhere just lose the game.

So, perhaps, Gao Wen's own strength improvement has reached a new stage, but there are many details that Gao Wen can improve outside of the system.

Therefore, the training still needs to be stepped up, and the details still need to be paid attention to. Pelt's hell-style training is actually good news for Gao Wen——

Outside the system, the role played by the coaching team is becoming more and more obvious.

This is a good thing.

"Crack! Crack!"

Before Gawain could take a breath, the sound of Pelt's clapping came, blocking time.

"Move! Move!"

"Training begins."

I don't know if it was Gao Wen's illusion, but he always felt that he could hear Pelt's gnashing of teeth, and he could smell blood in every word.

That expressionless face is like a cold-blooded demon, and the calm eyes seem to say:
This kid, dare to challenge the majesty of the devil's coach?

shame!

What a shame!
Then, let this guy have a taste of what a real nightmare level is.

Ha ha.
