Match point

Chapter 158
"We know what team is on the other side of the net, but we also know that the team on this side of the net is better and better and we are ready to beat them."

Facing the reporter, Coach Smith was full of spirits and gave pointers. Throughout the interview, he showed strong confidence. He did not affirm the strength of the Bruins at all. He emphasized the strength of the Trojans in both words and deeds. He was obviously full of confidence in this final. Get ready to be a champion.

But after leaving the spotlight, Coach Smith had a headache——

Despise the enemy strategically and value the enemy tactically.

Coach Smith knows very well that this championship game is very different from the regular season, and the singles players of the Bruins are indeed in outstanding condition.

After coming to Athens, the Bruins still won all singles. This performance is terrible. Except for Thompson and Geelong who are starting to recover, Gao Wen has grown into the number one player of the Bruins. underestimate.

"National Ranked Seventeen"?
If there are still people who foolishly judge their strength based on Gao Wen's ranking numbers, then Coach Smith will tell them with a snort that this is the first step towards the abyss of failure.

They must face up to Gawain's rapid growth and transformation. The current Gawain is on the same level as Thompson and Geelong at the beginning of the season, or even better; No effective countermeasures could be found.

How should the formation be arranged?
Of course, this is a team competition, and the "Tian Ji horse racing" strategy will always work. Randomly arrange a player against Gao Wen, strategically give up this victory, and then use other games to win the whole game. It is a feasible solution, even an efficient one.

But the idea is the idea, the implementation is another matter.

First, how will Coach Martin line up, where will Gao Wen be placed, and how should they line up to accurately "abolish" Gao Wen's game?
Secondly, even if you successfully "give up" this game, how should you play against other games?Thompson, Geelong, and MacDonald, whose growth rate is also not to be underestimated, are hard stubble. If the matchup is not arranged properly, these games may also fall into a passive state, and instead shoot themselves in the foot.

Calculation and anti-calculation, this is a science, otherwise, the coach Cowell of the University of Oklahoma would be a lesson learned from the past. He was clever but was misunderstood by his cleverness. It was clear that the Quickies had the strength to beat any team, but they lost one-sidedly After reaching the semifinals, Coach Smith does not want to repeat the same mistakes.

Since "Tian Ji's horse racing" has a lot of worries, how about going head-to-head in an upright manner?

Who can defeat Gao Wen?

Saramento?Huffman?Queiroz?Or other dark horses?
First of all, Queiroz needs to be ruled out.

Overall, Queiroz, who ranks No. 40 in the United States, is still not capable enough.With a flexible and versatile style of play, he can have some advantages when facing Macdonald or Bremer, but there is still a significant gap compared to Alcorta. It may be very difficult to play against Gao Wen, very, very.

As far as Saramento is concerned, judging from the two matches in the season, he does have the ability to confront, and his defensive and counterattack style of play can always ensure safety. A mistake at the level, returning to his own familiar style of play, may not be without a chance.

As for Hanfman, his power style of play is indeed full of impact. He has inherent advantages against players like Gao Wen and Alcorta. The last time he and Gao Wen fought against each other, they were entangled to the end, and the two tiebreakers were separated. In terms of winning and losing, in terms of style of play, choosing Hanfman is the correct way of course.

but……

When he came to Athens, the game between Gao Wen and Kerbert of Ohio State University was really shocking. Coach Smith had to express his concern. Will Hanfman's performance surpass Kerbert, maintain a normal mind, and play a normal level?

What a headache!

The semi-finals have just ended, there is no time to cheer and celebrate, Coach Smith has already begun to think about the formation of tomorrow's finals, and the Trojan players are no exception, eagerly looking forward to the fourth Los Angeles city derby of the season, Facing the deadly enemy again, the last thing they lack is fighting spirit.

However, Hanfman was a little worried.

Seeing that the newspapers were full of news about Gao Wen, Hanfman closed himself——

I'm really afraid of what's coming.

In fact, Hanfman is a player with a tough style and a firm will. He has never lacked self-confidence, even flamboyantly and recklessly. Naturally, Hanfman will not be easily afraid of any opponent, no matter In any game, he dared to attack his opponent.

However, everyone has their weaknesses, and Hanfman is no exception.

What he dislikes the most is playing against players who are changeable, slippery, and unpredictable, like okra or yam.

Hanfman's game rhythm is relatively monotonous and relatively consistent. The whole court is full of strength and tough to the end; He can't think and exert strength as he wants. In such a game, he will feel uncomfortable all over.

That feeling was like countless ants crawling up his body, it was indescribably weird and uncomfortable.

Before the match against Gao Wen, Hanfman didn't like Gao Wen's style, but he didn't feel deeply about it.

Because there are many players with similar styles in the league, such as Alcorta, Giron, etc., whether Hanfman likes it or not, but in these games, he can often suppress the opponent with strength and gain the upper hand. If he could win, Hanfman convinced himself:

"Training, this is a kind of will training."

It wasn't until Hanfman and Gao Wen faced each other head-on that he deeply realized the erosion of that fear.

Although Hanfman insisted on fighting until the last moment, his tenacious will made him grit his teeth and fight for two tie-breaks, and then unfortunately lost the game; however, the up and down, fast and slow rhythm of the game, But it was like a nightmare, entangled with Hanfman.

Even now, Huffman occasionally wakes up from nightmares.

If possible, Hanfman would never want to fight Gao Wen again, never want to relive that awkward experience.

Especially after coming to Athens, Gao Wen gave Kebert two donuts. His dominant performance made Hanfuman tremble——

It doesn’t matter if others haven’t experienced it, but he himself knew the kind of “suffering so aggrieved that he wanted to explode but couldn’t release it” after actually facing Gao Wen. At a certain moment, he wished to hit his head with a racket directly, otherwise My head might literally explode.

From then on, Hanfman secretly prayed that if the Bruins lost, as long as the Bruins were eliminated early, he wouldn't have to face Gao Wen, would he?

result……

He meows.

　Third more.
