Match point

Chapter 151
Obviously, there are far more than one teams that have been waiting to play against the Bruins, from the Trojans to the Eagles and then to the Sooners.

Maybe, they should take a number plate.

But compared to the arrogance of the Eagles, the Sooners are much more cautious.

"We know how strong our opponents are, but we also know we have what it takes to beat them."

Before the game against the University of South Carolina, Alcorta had already heard the news that the Bruins had successfully advanced to the semi-finals, which also made the short-footed team high-spirited——

They are also looking forward to playing against the Bruins again, which also makes the desire to advance to the Final Four burn.

After the game was over and the Quickies had won the game, the players had expected the reporters to surround them. More precisely, they had been waiting for such a moment.

Arcorta looked very calm, but his eyes were extremely determined.

"The Bruins are the No. [-] seed in the United States. They are the top favorites to win the championship, but we have pushed this team to the edge of the cliff, and this time we will make persistent efforts and look forward to going further."

In fact, purely from the perspective of player rankings, the strengths of the Quickies and the Bruins are the closest. Although at the end of the season, players on both sides have experienced some fluctuations in status, and the national singles rankings have declined to varying degrees, but the two teams The overall strength has remained stable.

Thompson and Geelong of the Bruins, Alcorta and Lamas of the Quickies, all four players are ranked in the top ten.

Gawain and McDonald of the Bruins, Webber and Harris of the Sooners, all four players are ranked in the top [-].

The fifth singles and the sixth singles are slightly deviated, but in fact, the overall strength is also on the same level.

In other words, the Quickies are ranked No. [-] in the United States, but their individual strength is still higher than the No. [-] Trojans, and they are evenly divided with the No. [-] seed Bruins——

In every confrontation, the two sides are split [-]-[-], literally every game is like this, and some media even believe that this is an early rehearsal of the final.

Alcorta's self-confidence definitely did not come out of thin air.

The fact is that in the last life, the Quickies did beat the Bruins 4:2 to reach the finals, and then unfortunately lost to the Trojans in the championship game. Like the Eagles back then, they still became Los Angeles The sacrificial sheep in the fierce battle between the two heroes.

Among them, in the regular season match between the two sides, Alcorta and Lamas both lost, but in the US championship game, Alcorta and Lamas both succeeded in revenge, establishing the victory of the game in one fell swoop.

In the past, low-ranked players were the short board of the Bruins, but at the last moment, it was the high-ranked players who became the first breakthrough for the Bruins to be broken by their opponents.

At this moment, Alcorta stood in front of the reporter, with a clear face and a slender figure, as graceful as a Spanish prince, but his shining eyes revealed an unquestionable firm determination.

Even in the face of the reporter's making things difficult, "...you lost to Thompson in the regular season, how will you adjust your mentality for this rematch", Alcorta still remained polite and calm.

"It's true that the game was very bad, I was out of shape the whole time. Obviously, this time from the first point, there needs to be a change, and I am looking forward to this match. This is a new game. I am also looking forward to a brand new result."

Alcorta's uprightness did not stop the reporter, "But Thompson has not been in a good state recently, and you may also play against Geelong or Gao Wen. What do you think?"

"Give it your all. No matter who the opponent is, give it your all, play every point and expect a win, that's all I have to do."

Alcorta showed high spirits and faced all challenges bravely, while Lamas seemed much more straightforward.

"They're the favourites, they're the favored side, they're under more pressure, so I think we should be closer to victory if we play lightly."

Straightforward words frankly show their desire to win.

"I don't care who the opponent is because I know they have a good group of players and so do we."

Lamas's answer always makes the reporters applaud secretly, with youthful flamboyance and wantonness in his words, even if he didn't provoke any player tit-for-tat like Kerbert, but this kind of straightforward answer without concealment or detour , It's as refreshing as a soda drink.

What's more, there is Harris.

When reporters tried to fan the flames, Harris fell victim.

Harris can't wait to say that there is no need for reporters to mention it deliberately.

"I am very, very looking forward to playing against Gao Wen again."

In the midst of every word, it seemed as if one could hear the gnashing of teeth. Obviously, the loss in the regular season has not been forgotten so far.

"The last time we met was an accident. Obviously I underestimated my opponent, but this time I definitely won't."

The subtext is to lose Jingzhou carelessly.

For the same game, the attitudes of the parties and the spectators are completely different, but this is also the charm of competitive sports——

The outcome of the previous match was just a game. When the next match comes, everything will be brand new, and the two sides will return to the same starting line.

So, strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with Harris' idea.

However, Harris' wish may not be so easy to achieve.

The reporters reminded them "friendly".

"Now Gao Wen's ranking has risen a lot, and the Bruins have more leeway in their formation. Maybe, you can't meet Gao Wen again, and the biggest possibility should be against McDonald or Bremer. If it is true Do you feel sorry for that?"

Harris: ...

The last time they played against each other, Gao Wen hadn't been ranked in the United States yet, while Harris was No. 20 in the United States.

When we meet again this time, Gao Wen is No.17 in the United States, but Harris has slipped to No.40.

You don't hit people in the face, okay?

Harris was so heartbroken by what the reporters said that he almost cried, but he still had to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"No matter which player I play against, as long as I stand on the court, I will try my best to win."

After speaking, Harris fled directly, he needed silence.

The Swifties are up and down, and they don't need reporters to fan the flames to be high-spirited. Coach Cowell is eager to wash away his shame in the regular season.

"We are all looking forward to playing against each other again. I respect Coach Martin and his team, but in the end only one team can advance to the next round of finals. I believe we will have the last laugh."

Sparks can already be felt between the lines, a peak duel has been predicted early, and the news headlines can already smell gunpowder.

"The Quickies are ready to win."

"Struggling and united, the Quickies are ready to take on tough enemies."

"Facing the favorite to win the championship, the University of Oklahoma has the determination to beat the opponent."
