Match point

Chapter 149
Faintly, Sofar could smell the smoke of gunpowder in the air.

Obviously, the love and resentment between Ohio State University and the Los Angeles duo is a well-known legend in the NCAA. Everyone can feel the wonderful chemical reaction between these three teams, so every meeting in the national championship game is worthy. called the attention.

This year, even more so.

From the first day of arriving in Athens, I could already feel the sparks, then the tit-for-tat interviews with the media, and then the verbal conflicts on the training ground.

In addition, the strength of the two teams is equal, and they are both favorites to win the championship. The suspense of the game makes the audience more excited, looking forward to a fierce battle with bayonets.

however!
It is precisely because of all the tension before the game that the mood of the young players is also excited. Once someone breaks the balance, then the fluctuation of mentality and state is inevitable.

Today, it was Gao Wen who broke the balance forcefully.

The point is not to win, but how to win.

If Gao Wen just defeated Kebert, then accidents are accidents, and the impact is limited after all. I am afraid that the only one who is really furious is Kebert, and the game needs to continue. After all, the big score in the team competition is only "1:1" It's just a tie, and the two teams are still on the same starting line.

However, Gao Wen sent out the first double egg yolk in his career with the attitude of sweeping thousands of troops, and the opponent was not an unknown person without a national ranking, but Kelbert, who was ranked tenth in the United States. Such a crushing victory was also strong. Break the momentum balance of the two teams and produce infinite influence.

In fact, before the national championship show, Gao Wen was always considered to be the type who was not good at playing against powerful players. Although he defeated representative powerful players such as Domian and Hanfman successively, the scores were very close. More or less with some luck and coincidence, a change of one or two points could reverse the entire result.

It is precisely because of this that, including Eagles players, neutral fans, and professionals, they all generally believe that Kebert has the upper hand—even if Gao Wen has a chance to win and can beat Kebert, the game should be very difficult Very entangled, it must be a close score.

However?
The reality surprised everyone. The powerful impact brought by the result of the double egg yolk was far more amazing than the results of the two sets.

Indeed, the total score is only "1:1", but the mentality of the players on both sides is definitely not a draw, as if the Bruins have the absolute upper hand.

The game continued, players from both sides appeared on the field one after another. Obviously, the Eagles players still did not give up. They were even inspired by Kerbert's loss and looked forward to winning the final victory. However, the subtle changes in their mentality have already lost their balance. It also has an impact--

The feel, ball feel, fighting spirit, etc. have all suffered blows like stormy waves.

In stark contrast, the players of the Bruins team were focused and joyful, exuding a firm belief in victory from the inside out, and their entire eyes and momentum radiated a completely different power.

The No. [-] singles Thompson, the No. [-] singles Bremer, and the No. [-] singles Macdonald all showed great morale and showed excellent competitive conditions one after another. Thompson, in particular, regained his touch after a long absence. A game was played vigorously and vigorously.

Then, win!victory!victory!
The singles players of the Bruins made great achievements one after another, with Gao Wen as the starting point and Macdonald as the end point, they won four victories without giving their opponents any chance and beat the Eagles strongly.

"4:1".

At the end of the game, UCLA defeated Ohio State University for the second consecutive year to advance to the next round!
Judging from strength and status, Ohio State University does have the ability to hit the semi-finals, but Kerbert's disastrous defeat has had a serious impact. The players who appeared in the future have more or less fluctuated performances and psychological shakes. It has also become a variable in the key score. The final total score is far from the strength of Ohio State University.

However, this is competitive sports. Although everyone gathers together with the dream of hitting the championship, victory can only belong to one person after all.

Cruel but true.

Ohio State University sadly bid farewell to Athens again, and can only look forward to fighting again next year. The uproar before the game disappeared in an instant, as if it had never existed before.

"I...uh, I don't understand what happened..."

Kebert failed to leave the stadium and was surrounded by reporters in the corner like hyenas. It was obvious that Kebert was in a daze. Even though the game between the two teams had ended, he still did not To be able to come out of your own failures.

I'm afraid I won't be able to get out for a long, long time.

There seemed to be some unwiped tears flickering in the slightly red eye sockets, but compared to the sadness and pain, many were still confused and confused, and he really didn't understand what happened.

"I tried my best, I tried to control the game, but obviously I failed...I still don't understand how the game got into trouble, maybe wait until I go back, watch the game film, and I can conclude why... And then... And looking forward to coming back next year..."

Kebert is still looking forward to his revenge tomorrow, which seems to be the last motivation to support him, but before he can finish his words, he is stunned because he realizes that he is already a senior and this is his NCAA career 's last game.

Kebert's gaze froze for an instant, as if he could see a broken heart.

At the same time, the reporter also reminded, "Aren't you already a senior? There is no next year."

Cobert stood there in a daze, his eyes dazed, unable to speak a word.

In this room, Kebert became the target of the concentrated firepower of the reporters; in the other room, Gao Wen undoubtedly became the focus of the reporters' siege, three floors inside and three floors outside, surrounded Gao Wen tightly, and the bustling crowd The scene can be called the treatment of top superstars.

No wonder everyone said that the National Championships is a stage that attracts everyone's attention. The story of becoming famous in World War I will be staged every year. Gao Wen, who has risen this season, has already entered the eyes of reporters, and shined in the quarterfinals. Surpassing Thompson and Geelong has become a new talking point for the Bruins.

But in the face of such a battle, the "young" Gao Wen showed a rare calmness.

"Gao Wen, how would you comment on your performance in this match?"

"I'm just trying to hit every shot, every point, and that's all there is to it."

Although it was official, all of them were Gao Wen's sincere answers, but the reporter didn't buy it.

"So, how do you comment on the final score?"

Obviously, the reporter did not intend to easily let go of the hot supernova in front of him.

　Fourth more.
