Huchi, wheeze.
The lungs are burning. It seems that with every breath, you can feel the magma boiling and rolling in the lungs. Your calves are shaking slightly uncontrollably. All the weight of your body is supported on the racket, but you find that your arms are also shaking slightly, as if you are standing on the racket. It's like dangling on a high-altitude rope.
Raising his head, Gao Wen quietly stared at the vast sea of people coming in front of him. The continuous roar hit his eardrums hard. Every cell in his body was greedily breathing the hot air of the O2 Stadium and feeling it. Enjoy this heat wave and enjoy this madness.
it's over……
The game is over, the journey to the year-end finals is over, and more importantly, the season of creating miracles is also over, and it ends here.
call……
Gawain let out a long breath, used the racket as a support point, and stood up reluctantly. He stood on the spot and jumped a few times to help his knees and calves regain their center of gravity, and then stepped forward——
He should not be frustrated or disappointed, because he fought unreservedly to the end throughout the game.
Indeed, some shot handling can be smarter, some unforced errors can be avoided, some round layouts can be more patient, and some proactive attacks can be sharper and tougher...
In competition, there is always room for improvement.
However, he can say with a clear conscience that he did fight until the last moment, and he did burn the last drop of oil in the tank.
He really tried his best.
Therefore, he should leave the O2 Stadium with his back straight and his head held high.
Involuntarily, Gawain opened his shoulders slightly, straightened his spine, and walked towards the net with his head held high. Even though his calves were shaking uncontrollably, his steps became more and more determined.
Arriving in front of the net, Djokovic had also finished his celebration and trotted over.
Gao Wen raised his head, looked directly into Djokovic's eyes, showed a sincere smile, and took the initiative to extend his right hand.
"Excellent game, the better side won."
Djokovic took Gao Wen's right hand, pulled it, and gave Gao Wen a big hug.
"I think we all fought until the very end."
At this moment, you can feel that Djokovic's tense mood seems to have finally relaxed, and you can feel how important this game is to him.
Then, Djokovic let go of his arms and showed a polite smile.
"I believe we will meet many, many times in the future."
This is an affirmation and an appreciation.
Gawain couldn't help but feel eager to try, "I can't wait any longer."
Djokovic chuckled cheerfully twice. It could be seen that he was in a very happy mood. He even made a little joke, "Wait, wait, let me enjoy this game first. Let’s not rush.”
Gawain did not ruin Djokovic's good mood, and made an inviting gesture with a pun:
This is an invitation to Djokovic to enjoy the victory, and it is also an invitation to Djokovic to be the first to shake hands with the referee.
Djokovic understood immediately and laughed out loud again, but he still politely gave in and let Gao Wen take the lead in shaking hands with the referee. He watched Gao Wen return to the players' rest area, and then he was ready to enjoy himself. time of victory.
In this room, Gao Wen packed up his equipment quickly and turned around to leave the O2 Arena, leaving the stage to Djokovic.
Bang bang bang!
Boom boom boom!
The applause and cheers, which had calmed down a little, were rising again, mixed with roars calling "Gawain", just like a rock star's concert.
The audience at the O2 Arena sent Gao Wen off in this way and thanked Gao Wen and Djokovic for joining forces for such a wonderful duel.
Gao Wen raised his hands high and applauded to express his response and thanks. He turned 360 degrees in a circle and looked around the audience. Then he walked towards the player tunnel, gradually leaving all the noise and noise behind him. Step by step back to the locker room, the world becomes quiet again.
In fact, you can still feel the surge in the air behind you, but it is getting farther and farther away, as if you are wrapped in the crystal clear lake water, which further highlights the tranquility and coldness of the locker room.
Sitting on the bench, the excitement, sensation, and madness gradually settled down, my brain regained its calmness, and the bitterness of defeat became clear:
How did you lose this game?
First of all, it must be admitted that the fundamental reason is that Djokovic played better. His targeted tactics, consistent concentration and dare to take action at critical moments truly demonstrated his unparalleled control on indoor hard courts.
One is that the feel of wrapping the ball is particularly good, and the other is that the control is particularly precise.
When facing Gawain today, Djokovic showed top performance with his straight backhand, repeatedly trying to return the ball to the right spot. This not only contained Gawain's tactical intention to change his rhythm, but also contained Gao Wen's tactical intention of changing the rhythm. Wen's backhand performance.
Especially at the end of the deciding set, Djokovic's performance in key points was indeed slightly better.
So, in addition to admitting that his opponents performed well, does Gawain himself still have room for improvement?
Outside of the tactical level, Gao Wen believes that his preparation for the difficulties of the game is still slightly insufficient.
Before the game, Gao Wen kept reminding himself:
Don't take it lightly. Djokovic will definitely go all out to avoid three consecutive defeats. This game will definitely explode with 200% energy——
For Djokovic, the desire to win in this game may be second only to the Grand Slam final.
Not only Gawain himself, but Sampras also attaches great importance to it. They all realize that after the third meeting, there are fewer and fewer secrets between each other, and Djokovic is more mature and sophisticated, and will definitely still be able to win. There is a trump card, and any slight negligence may lead to disastrous results.
However, human beings are like this. They clearly know that a needle prick is painful, but they have never actually been pricked by a needle. No matter how firm their brain warning is, they still cannot truly feel the pain of a needle prick.
"If you haven't experienced it, you are still lacking a little bit after all."
Gawain, that's it.
This is what Sampras has been saying all the time. The lack of game experience is Gawain's biggest shortcoming at present, because if you haven't experienced it, you haven't experienced it. No matter how much you understand the truth, you still haven't experienced it personally. The impact felt lacks a sense of reality.
The actual situation is that Gao Wen has defeated Djokovic twice in a row, but he has never seen Djokovic truly exert 100% of his energy.
It's not negligence, nor contempt, nor complacency, but just a slight lack of preparation for difficulties.
Some balls, in the first two games, could be scored if hit to such an extent; however, this time it does not work. Not only does it not work, but it may also become passive, forcing Gao Wen to continue to improve his state and performance, but because of Such pressure brings changes.
This little psychological difference has an objective impact on Gao Wen at the end of the game.
After all, he is still too young.
Maybe this is the price of growth.
