Match point

Chapter 169 Fighting Together
"Competition, high!"

Accompanied by the sound of the referee announcing the result of the game, the audience applauded thunderously.

Undoubtedly, the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of Southern California are mortal enemies in the same city, mortal enemies who wish to tear each other apart; however, at this moment, they are both fans and ordinary people, sincerely for this game A wonderful contest, applause.

This is the beauty of competitive sports.

At the same time, there was a lot of noise in the live broadcast room.

"Today's match, as the first singles, Gao Wen's performance was perfect."

"The strategy was clear and the execution was firm throughout the game. It wasn't that Saramento played poorly, but that Gao Wen's performance was really outstanding, which made people shine."

"Peter, what do you think?"

Sofar knew he had enough praise, so he passed the microphone to Sampras.

Sampras did not disappoint.

"First of all, Saramento's defensive ability is still excellent. His anticipation and touch are still top-notch in the NCAA, which also created many exciting rounds for the game."

"But it is precisely because of Saramento's outstanding performance that it highlights Gao Wen's control over the game."

"We can see that Gao Wen has a clear understanding of his own shot, when to choose what shot, what effect should be achieved by what shot, and at the same time, he can create a situation for the opponent to fall into. This tennis wisdom , is the dream talent of countless professional players.”

"It can be seen from Gao Wen's performance in the whole game when he faced his own serving game. He was aware of the crisis. At the same time, because he knew how to improve his state, he changed his tactics and regained the initiative. This is also the key to breaking the balance of the game. .”

"Saramento only got two break points today, and none of them were able to cash in; but on the other hand, Gao Wen got a total of [-] break points, and finally successfully broke four serve games. The gap is still very obvious."

Sofar caught a detail of Sampras.

"You mean, Gao Wen already has the level of a professional player?"

"Yes, I personally think so."

Sofar was a little surprised that Sampras had such a high opinion of Gao Wen, which really caught his eye.

But strictly speaking, Sofar agrees.

"In the first singles match between the two sides, Gao Wen's game really boosted morale. Not only did he win with a big score, but he also had an endless stream of wonderful rounds."

"In this game, Gao Wen's sharp attack really played a big role, continuing the momentum of the Bruins in the doubles match, and seizing the opportunity."

"If the Bruins can reach the national championship today, Gao Wen's performance will undoubtedly be an important turning point."

Of course, everyone knows that the game is not over, everything is possible, not to mention the Los Angeles city derby, how could the Trojans catch it without a fight?
Gao Wen's performance was indeed excellent and wonderful, but he can only play once, and then we have to watch the duels of other players. This is the essence of the team competition.

However, as Sofar said, the battle of momentum in team competitions is also very subtle, and changes in pressure and motivation occur all the time.

Today, the Bruins women's team's counterattack to the top has already boosted the morale of the team. The doubles game was extraordinary, and they scored the doubles points neatly, ushering in a good start; followed by Gao Wen, even more With a perfect performance, withstood the impact of Saramento's best effort, and won a complete victory.

If we say that there are too many variables in the doubles game, and the victory of the Bruins is more or less bloody, then Gao Wen's complete victory showed the suppression of strength, and the entire team's confidence was instantly boosted.

When Gao Wen beat Saramento, Thompson, who was supposed to be the number one singles player, leaped high, hammered his chest like a King Kong, and celebrated Gao Wen's victory impassionedly. In the second singles and lost, but more motivated.

Thompson is clearly not the only one.

buzzing.

Heat wave all over the place.

In the locker room, Gao Wen saw MacDonald who was getting ready to go on stage——

The second duel between the two sides was the No. [-] singles.

Gawain didn't say much, he just gave Macdonald a big hug, and patted Macdonald's back heavily, using this way to pass on his strength.

Without words, Macdonald's blood boiled with excitement.

The No. [-] singles of the Trojans is Max de Froome, who has risen rapidly in the second half of the season. He has not yet ranked at the beginning of the season, but he has already ranked in the top [-]. It is only because the Bruins' Gao Wen is too dazzling. Not out of Froome's progress.

It is worth mentioning that in the first Los Angeles city derby this season, Froome, who was still fifth in singles at the time, exploded with amazing energy standing in desperation, successfully defeated McDonald, and will stand on the edge of the cliff The Trojans pulled back and allowed the game to continue.

In short, Froome has the ability to defeat Macdonald, but also has the big heart to fight in desperate situations.

Whether MacDonald can get revenge is also a big concern.

Facing his opponent who easily defeated him in two sets, McDonald was fully prepared, but Froome also knew clearly that the Trojans had no way out. If he lost the game, the Bruins would directly get the match point , Therefore, from the first point, Froome has fully entered the state.

The first set, "6:4".

Relying on his superior performance at the critical moment, Froome suppressed McDonald and took the lead.

But as Froome grew, so did Macdonald.

When it was difficult to find an opportunity, MacDonald clings to the game and deals patiently. At the end of the second set, he seized the opportunity of Froome's physical fluctuation, made a thrilling break, and took advantage of the trend to win the second set. In the middle of the game, they regained a set with "6:3".

The entire audience went into a frenzy.

really!The Los Angeles City Derby never disappoints.

In the final set, Macdonald and Froome were very, very stalemate. It can be seen that both players suffered from exhaustion, their confrontation intensity dropped significantly, and their control over their serve also dropped sharply. Instead, they were receiving the serve. More opportunities can be found in the Bureau.

As a result, the deciding set turned into a breakout game. The two sides broke each other's opponent's two serve games, and the score rose staggeredly.

Until the end of the game, in the almost suffocating tightness of the audience, MacDonald took the lead in breaking out amidst the roaring cheers of the Bruins, and then he had to be guaranteed at the end when Froome had no retreat in the whole game. After a serve game, they fought with all their might.

On the match point, MacDonald galloped all over the court, saved Froome's two-shot attack that was almost about to score, and barely completed the defense tremblingly, and finally forced Froome to tear apart in the third attack. A bigger angle resulted in an out of bounds, ending the entire game.

"6:4".

　Fourth more.
