Chapter 116 The So-Called Derby

After a whole season of running-in and adjustments, the main lineups of the two teams have matured, but in the face of the upcoming crazy May, the two coaches have made adjustments in unison. Obviously, their eyes are not only on this game In terms of victory or defeat, the higher goal is still the National Championship.

This is the difference in the pattern, and it is more atmospheric in a longer-term perspective.

In the sixth singles of the Bruins, Sale replaced the mediocre Di Giulio.

The Trojans' No. [-] singles and No. [-] singles are also new faces, Eric-Johnson (Eric-Johnson) and Michael-Grant (Michael-Grant).

Small details, you can see the subtle differences between the two coaches——

Coach Smith has made sufficient preparations for the first three singles, and at the same time, he is also ready for "the last three singles decide the outcome"; while Coach Martin has spent countless efforts on the formation of the first three singles, looking forward to the ball The team can end the game as early as possible.

But what if the Bruins can't make it to the win sooner?Then the No. [-] singles will face more pressure.

In controlling the overall situation and preparing for difficulties, Coach Smith is still slightly better. Under the leadership of Smith, the Trojans have become the most powerful team in the NCAA in the past five years. It is not without reason that they are worthy of being the best coach in the United States.

Of course, a large part of the reason is also because the Trojans are "away" and the initiative is not in Smith's hands, which forces him to make more preparations.

As for Martin, with the home court advantage in hand, he naturally showed no mercy.

Recently, Thompson's state has declined significantly. The outbreak of the autumn season and the pressure of the spring season have finally emerged slowly with the passage of time. This also means that the Trojans' No. [-] singles Hanfman is a headache Existence, without Thompson's strong confrontation, the Bruins' Geelong, Bremer, and McDonald faced him, all of which were downwind.

The only exception is Gao Wen.

In the last match, Gao Wen simply defeated Hanfman in two sets and performed very well; moreover, against Domyan from the University of Virginia, Gao Wen also showed his ability to contend against powerful players.

It is precisely because of this that Martin hopes that Gao Wen can face Hanfman and make a layout centered on this.

Judging from the results of the matchup table, Martin counted some and missed some; similarly, Smith made some right bets and stepped on some traps.

Geelong vs. Huffman, this is the biggest victory in Smith's overall layout, coupled with the bold changes in the fourth single and the sixth single, this has won a chance for the Trojans in the away game, as long as other games can be won With a victory, they will have the last laugh!
Martin, however, had other calculations.

Gawain played against Saramento, Thompson played against Queiroz, and Bremer played against De Froome. All of them were the Bruins' advantage. Macdonald's fourth single is not necessarily a disadvantage, as long as the double Competition and MacDonald fight, so the initiative is still with them.

It is precisely because of this that the order of playing singles will be listed in this way:
First single, fifth single, second single, third single, fourth single, sixth single.

If everything goes according to Martin's plan, the Bruins should be able to win by the third singles; but if the game continues, then the two sides will really have a [-]-[-] split, and the home court advantage will no longer exist. It all depends on the scene play.

However, whether it is Smith or Martin, these calculations are all theoretical considerations on paper, but they do not represent the actual situation:
Hanfman may not be able to beat Giron 100%; Gao Wen may not be able to beat Saramento again.

Whether it's a mule or a horse, after all, you still have to go out for a stroll to see the answer.

In this way, in the spring season of the 2013-2014 season, the Pac-[-] championship game officially kicked off.

It is worth mentioning that ESPN once again invited Sampras and Sofal to commentate together, and witnessed the birth of another year's league championship at the Libby Garden in Ohai.

The game has just started, and you can feel the unexpected turmoil again and again, and once again prove with practical actions that you can never use common sense to measure the Los Angeles city derby:
Everything is possible!

In the doubles arena, the Bruins' doubles team, which has always been mediocre this season and has occasional bright spots, broke out shockingly.

First overturned the No. [-] doubles combination of the Trojans in the United States, and then strongly overtook the second doubles of the Trojans. They won two games in a row cleanly and took the lead in collecting doubles points!

Surprise not surprise?Accident is not accident?
Maybe someone predicted before the game that the Bruins might take the doubles points—although the overall performance of the Bruins doubles in the season is indeed unsatisfactory, but in the same city derby, all possibilities are always open. Who knows whether the Bruins doubles team will rise Woolen cloth?Moreover, in the second duel between the two sides, the Bruins also scored a double in an upset.

However, the Bruins doubles team not only rose, but also won the doubles with two straightforward victories. The scores of the two games were "6:3" and "6:1". Exciting and without ups and downs, the suspense was killed in the hands early on.

Such an outstanding and strong performance definitely made everyone break into a cold sweat, even the Bruins fans were overjoyed and ecstatic.

In the two city derbies this season, the two sides scored double points in the away game. This time, the Bruins scored double points strongly at the "home court", and the game situation has undergone subtle changes.

More importantly, although the Bruins had scored doubles in the second match between the two sides, they played three doubles that time, and the scores in each game were very, very anxious, and they narrowly won in the end. No one expected In this match, the suspense of winning and losing in doubles was so easily resolved.

accident!

As Sampras said, "In the same city derby, any result is not unexpected, and never ignore the energy brought by the same city derby."

For all NCAA teams, they all know one thing clearly. Against the Bruins, doubles are crucial, because this is their weakest link. Once doubles are not scored, subsequent singles will indeed face Layer upon layer of pressure makes the situation more difficult.

Smith also knew this deeply. Doubles points should be in the pocket of the Trojans. However, the championship game had just begun, and the accident had already occurred, and things suddenly became difficult.

If the Trojans still want this championship trophy, they need to put in more effort in the singles arena.

But to take a step back, the Trojans have faced such a predicament at home, and finally won the victory, and now they have no reason to back down; moreover, it is also a good thing for the preparations for the National Championship, at least they know that doubles The fluctuations in the market may also break expectations, so how should we deal with the fluctuations in mentality and state.

The game is not over yet.

The truth is, the game has only just begun.

　No.16 more.
