"Match Point(
In Paris, it was cloudy in the early morning, and the city was shrouded in a layer of light smoky gray, covered with dense water vapor, with a little coolness in the translucency.
Hey, the door of the coffee shop is pushed open, and the crisp sound of wind chimes colliding with the gurgling jazz is light and bouncing, just like children playing hopscotch, and there are popping candy-like laughter in the cheerful footsteps. , Even the sun dances with it.
Gao Wen remained focused and didn't raise his head. He didn't come back to himself until he noticed a figure appearing on his right side out of the corner of his vision.
Looking up, you can see a profile figure, who looks like a college student. His light brown hair is silky and smooth like a waterfall. It is loosely tied into a bun and **** with a simple hairpin. A little hair fell out, outlining the curve of the jaw and the bridge of the nose, revealing a touch of sassyness in the gentleness.
A white shirt was worn under the smoky gray wide-mouth sweater. The neckline slid down the shoulders loosely, but because the shirt buttons were all tightly buttoned, it showed a little lazy style.
"Feel sorry…"
Following the other party's line of sight, Gao Wen noticed that the tennis equipment bag he had put on the ground was slightly beyond the aisle, blocking the way forward.
Gao Wen quickly apologized and stuffed the tennis equipment bag inside, but all the coffee houses in Paris are like this, there are small round tables placed in the narrow space, which makes the space even narrower, not to mention the tennis equipment Packed, even an umbrella is difficult to close completely.
"Don't worry."
The visitor raised his hand to signal, the first sentence was in French, but after a short pause, he realized that Gao Wen was speaking in English, and then looked at Gao Wen's appearance, so he continued to speak in English.
"I'm just looking for a seat."
Gao Wen suddenly realized, and raised his head to see that the occupancy rate of the coffee shop was nearly 70%. Obviously, it was not easy to find a suitable seat.
Looking away, Gawain was about to say something, when the girl in front of him gave a "oh la", motioned diagonally forward, and smiled at Gawain.
"Look, here's one."
Gao Wen swallowed his words, and smiled at the girl, looked away, and continued to focus on the book in front of him.
In a blink of an eye, it has been four days since I arrived in Paris.
Paris, this city is undoubtedly special, because it is the only city that has the Grand Slam and the Masters at the same time, and it is unique in the ATP calendar; of course, it is also because it is the world-famous city of romance, fashion The capital of shopping, the Seine River across the city and the Louvre, which houses countless art exhibits, always attract countless tourists.
However, Gao Wen didn't come to travel, at least not this time.
Although it was his first time arriving in Paris, he had no time to visit the sightseeing spots from the beginning to the end, and he was fully engaged in training from the first day of landing—
Even ignoring the impact of jet lag, in Pelt’s words, adjusting jet lag is one of the necessary abilities for tennis players, because they are always on the road and always need to face sudden schedule adjustments, so adapting to jet lag The best way is to train.
Considering Gao Wen's arduous task of sprinting to the year-end finals, Pelt made a perfect training plan for Gao Wen:
Time is running out, and Gao Wen doesn't have time to slowly adjust technical movements and strength training. Everything is based on the basics. You need to let your body adapt to the intensity of the competition, and then really find the competition pattern and rhythm that Gao Wen is familiar with. The way of game boosting is to get back the feeling.
To be precise, Gao Wen should have "provided" a training plan, including one week of consolidation training, and the next three weeks of gradual auxiliary training.
When Pelt saw Gao Wen's training plan, he was amazed and praised. He repeatedly exclaimed that Gao Wen should study "professional knowledge" in depth. After making some local adjustments, the training plan was finally finalized.
As Pelt said, he needs Gawain's 100% concentration to drain all of Gawain's energy, so he needs to make full use of all the time every day.
Starting at seven o'clock in the morning, the full training schedule has been scheduled until nine o'clock in the evening, ensuring a balance between work and rest, while continuing to tap Gao Wen's full potential—
It's not winter training, but it's better than winter training.
But precisely because of this, Pelt and Sampras also devote 100% energy to ensure Gao Wen's state at all times. Although training is very important, it is also important to avoid overtraining and potential injuries. The more prudence and meticulousness are needed, the whole team is running at high speed.
Tobias rented an apartment for Gawain near the training ground instead of living in a hotel.
Every morning, Gao Wen would come to the coffee shop to have breakfast—
A very unique point in French food culture is that the bread must be fresh, once it exceeds the time, it is no longer the bread they expected.
Therefore, there are small workshops that have been passed down for generations in every block, and the bread is baked at a fixed time every day~www.mtlnovel.com~ Every time the bread is baked, you can see the long queue at the door of the bakery. scene.
Correspondingly, the time for the coffee house to provide bread and coffee will also be adjusted according to the schedule of the neighborhood cooperative bakery to ensure that customers can enjoy the best bread.
Of course, this is a residential area. If it is in a tourist area, it will be a different look.
After breakfast, Gawain would carry his equipment bag and walk all the way to the training ground. Originally, Tobias could arrange a commuter vehicle to **** Gawain to and from the training ground. This is how Pelt and Sampras went to the training ground. But Gawain refused—
He wants to use this method to do a little warm-up and prepare for training; at the same time, he also uses this method to integrate into the daily life of the city.
The time in the coffee shop is also a rare free time for Gao Wen during the day - because after entering the night, he needs to receive restorative massage and treatment, and then study the game video with Sampras, the schedule is still full.
Therefore, Gao Wen cherished the short leisure time in the morning very much.
The daily itinerary is fixed, and in only four days, Gao Wen has already formed a regular life, as if he has lived here for forty days.
Stuffing the last sip of the croissant into his mouth, he glanced at the little coffee left, and Gawain's eyes returned to the book in front of him:
Five minutes to go, and the short break for breakfast is coming to an end.
If there seems to be no place, Gao Wen seems to be aware of a scrutiny in the eyes, interrupting his concentration, raised his head, looked around for a while, and immediately saw that the girl who was seated obliquely in front of her just now, the corner of her mouth With a friendly smile, his eyes fell on the book in Gao Wen's hand.
