"...Welcome to take the New York Subway Line 7, the stop ahead, Flushing! Open the door on the right, please take your belongings, and get off on the right..."
The sound of the station announcement in the subway station seemed intermittent amid the bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang, you need to maintain a high degree of concentration so as not to miss the broadcast, but Gu Xiao had already been waiting at the door to get off the train, eager and excited jumping hard Boiling with restraint.
He couldn't help but think of Athens two months ago.
He grasped a crazy idea, and then boldly embarked on a journey to Athens, where he witnessed the moment when the Bruins reached the top and Gao Wen won the championship. Still lifelike, just close your eyes and be able to hear the din and cheers again.
However, no one expected that in just two months, Gao Wen would be on the stage of the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open, making an impact for a history-making semifinal.
Just imagining it in my mind can't help but make my blood boil.
Gu Xiao knew that there were not many fans of Gao Wen. After all, two weeks ago, the name "Gao Wen" had not appeared in any entry list of ATP 250 or above, even if he and Goffin joined hands to create consecutive The history of winning the three-week challenge still does not have much weight and significance.
Don't compare it with Isner, Wawrinka, Nishikori and other players who have played in professional tennis for many years and have long occupied a place in the top 20 in the world. In other words, I am afraid that the number of fans is not at the same level.
Of course, on the social network, the heat wave focused on Gao Wen can now be deeply felt. On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, there are thousands of fans in their hometown who are cheering for Gao Wen, who was born this year and wrote miracles. The soaring popularity seems to be top-notch.
However, the vast Pacific Ocean and the full twelve-hour time difference prevented these cheers and shouts from traveling through time and space to echo over Flushing.
Coupled with the popularity of tennis events, there are relatively few fans in Huaxia, and even fewer fans can go to the scene to cheer for the players.
Quarterfinals...
Gu Xiao was worried that the momentum of the on-site support might be one-sided. From all aspects, the opponent Kei Nishikori had the advantage, but this "Asian Showdown" was a contest that they absolutely did not want to show weakness. They expected Gao Wen to continue To create a miracle, and looking forward to Gao Wen's ability to win this bayonet encounter.
It is precisely because he deeply understands the difficulty, that Gu Xiao hopes to go to the scene to watch the game even more.
So, he did this—
Using the income I earned from working in the past two months, I bought a plane ticket and booked three nights of accommodation, arrived in New York from Los Angeles overnight, and then went to Flushing.
Gu Xiao knew that this was an impulse and a passion, but with the experience in Athens, he knew that he would never regret it. On the contrary, if he hesitated and missed the opportunity to watch the game live, he might Will regret for a long time.
Gu Xiao hopes that he can learn to indulge.
Obviously, this decision was supported by Qiao Wangsheng and the others. The group of friends in the post bar were even more excited and joyful than Gu Xiao. Gao Wen, pass on their support.
The subway is here.
Leaving the subway, walking along the turbulent crowd, you don’t need to deliberately identify the direction, you can easily find the location of Arthur Ashe Stadium, because the building is really conspicuous in Flushing, and because there are so many fans going to Flushing at this time Not a few—
Today, the Arthur Ashe Stadium is full of drama.
The first mixed doubles semi-final was the American Civil War, the second women's singles match between Makarova and Azarenka, and the third match between Kowain and Kei Nishikori.
The night game was opened by Serena Williams, and the strong duel between Djokovic and Murray was the last game. For tennis lovers, it is definitely a game not to be missed. They all believed that this game should be regarded as a preview of the semi-finals or finals.
The singles competition has fully entered the quarter-finals. The two men's and two women's matches are all arranged in the Arthur Ashe Stadium. Every game is the focus!
In addition, the second round of the Louis Armstrong Stadium has arranged for a women's doubles quarter-final match. The combination of Chinese player Zheng Jie will soon face the combination of neon legend veteran Date Koko. This can also be regarded as the men's singles quarter-final match" Another continuation of Kowain vs Kei Nishikori".
It is precisely because of this that the number of Asian faces coming to Flushing today has increased significantly. There used to be many Chinese living here, but now it is even more lively. The yellow skin coming and going is mixed with familiar Cantonese, Hokkien and other dialects. , There is an illusion of traveling through time and space in a trance.
Gu Xiao was hesitating about where he should go, and then he saw a five-star red flag flying high and fluttering in the wind at a glance. The bright red color was shining brightly under the noon sun, and the noise of the crowd was also reduced to the background.
Involuntarily, the footsteps have followed the guidance of the flag and approached ~www.mtlnovel.com~ The bustling crowd uttered standard Mandarin, and the sense of distance disappeared immediately.
Looking around, the crowds coming and going are still diverse and colorful, with different accents of English intertwined and turbulent, and then the sight falls in front of my eyes again, and because of these familiar yellow skin and black eyes, the distance is instantly shortened, even if the footsteps have not yet stepped forward , already standing side by side with them.
"..." Just as Gu Xiao was wandering in a daze, a man with a slightly protruding belly came over with big strides.
This man looks about 30 years old, but because of the slightly receding hairline, it is unpredictable whether the actual age should be raised or lowered, but the bold and enthusiastic smile on his face always makes people feel kind.
"Did you come here specially to watch Gao Wen's competition?"
Asked warmly and friendly in English with an accent, but Gu Xiao couldn't tell where the accent was. After all, the dialect culture in mainland China is too rich. Before Gu Xiao could respond, the other party continued to talk endlessly , introduced Gu Xiao enthusiastically.
"We are all fans of Gawain. Knowing that there are not many fans, we plan to gather together and go to the Arthur Ashe Stadium to cheer for him."
