Chapter 54 Steady Set Sail
Facing Gao Wen's knowing blow, Thompson exaggeratedly covered his chest, unable to utter a word, his face full of sadness.

Looking at Thompson's 198cm tall man, who dedicated such exaggerated acting skills, Gao Wen couldn't help laughing, and laughed out loud, then bumped Thompson's shoulder, expressing his intimacy, and explained, "The height between me and you Not the same, I was just thinking about the game."

Di Giulio, who lost the team's only set today, bumped Gawain's shoulder, "What's the matter, are you still upset because of your opening? Don't do this, if you are like this, then what should I do?" ? I should be crying bitterly under a towel now." The self-deprecating words made everyone laugh.

Before Gao Wen could answer, Sale, who liked to join in the fun, chirped loudly, "Joseph, you should compete with Mike Bibi."

Laugh out loud!

Macdonald, with full firepower today, sent out two donuts—"6:0" and "6:0", and they were liquidated directly, so that the opponent couldn't find the north.

McDonald, who was named innocently, looked a little shy, his bronzed cheeks were slightly hot, and he smiled cautiously, not knowing how to respond.

It was Gao Wen who was taking care of his friend, and shouted, "You mean, extra practice on the court? Come on, Mike and I haven't finished our warm-up today, so let's go back to the court for a few more rounds now?"

One sentence immediately made Sale and Di Giulio back away.

Purcell seemed to be seeing a ghost, and exaggeratedly said, "The devil! The devil is coming!"

The locker room burst into laughter again.

MacDonald also came to Gawain and asked, "Are you okay?" He also sensed Gawain's disappointment. Everyone was laughing and joking, and Gawain said he was thinking about the competition, but nothing happened. People are concerned about the specific situation, so he came to ask more questions.

In fact, Gao Wen didn't care about today's opening - everything is possible in a tennis match, there is no need to worry about the poor opening performance; nor is it lamenting to return to the court - he doesn't have so much time to grieve Chun, you should enjoy the time standing on the court.

Certainly not Elena.

Mainly because of the game value.

Originally, Gao Wen thought that the competition was more valuable than the training, after all, it was a real duel with the outcome of the outcome, but the actual situation was not like this.

The challenge of today's game is not big, and the opponent's strength is limited. It may be a bit exaggerated to say "I didn't sweat much in the whole game"; but the growth potential has only increased by 10%, which is far lower than expected. It's better to practice serving by yourself on the training ground.

More or less, Gao Wen was still a little disappointed.

But thinking about it seriously, it's not surprising. First of all, the opponent is also No. [-] singles, and his strength itself is limited.

Secondly, today the Bruins are on fire from top to bottom. When Gao Wen came on the court, it was already "5:0". Afterwards, I was very relaxed, there was no pressure at all, and the whole atmosphere was completely different.

The final intensity of the game may be weaker than the Bruins' team practice match. Judging from the system rules of daily training, basic training, and mini duels, it should be a matter of course that the results of this game are not high.

Thinking of this, the emotions only stayed for a while, Gao Wen quickly cheered up, and looked at his practice partner Macdonald, "I'm going to practice serving again, how about it, together?"

Macdonald was really "hardly sweating" today, and his eyes lit up slightly, "Okay, okay."

When he appeared on the court again, he found that Jilong was also there.

"Hey, Marcos!"

Gao Wen took the initiative to say hello with a smile on his face, Ji Long wiped the sweat from his forehead, gestured towards them, but continued training without saying anything.

boom!
chap!
The sound of hitting the ball and rubbing footsteps echoed quietly over the court, but it didn't last long, and was interrupted by laughter again.

"You beasts...ah, I thought 'No way, no way', but I didn't expect you to practice more."

"Well, I don't want to practice more, I'm not so conscious, but every time I look at the coach's earnest eyes, I can't say the words of rejection."

"Eh? Saier, why are you here?"

"Haha, I came here specifically to fight for the main position, didn't you think of it? Be careful, maybe I will be promoted in the next game."

"I knew it, Mike and Gawain would definitely be found in the stadium, you guys! You two guys!"

"I still wanted to take a good rest, but why did it appear here? It's not normal, I'm very abnormal."

One, two, three.

In a blink of an eye, the training ground was bustling again, the setting sun was burning on the horizon where the sea and the sky meet, and the air was filled with the smell of sweat.

The Bruins officially announced the arrival of the spring season with a hearty sweep, and the school newspaper of UCLA also reported it for the first time.

"Tennis spring season starts, 7:0 starts a new journey——

New season and new atmosphere, the Bruins ushered in two new faces. "

Against a team as weak as the University of California, Irvine, the result of a big victory is a matter of course, and even the progress of the game lacks waves, which is undoubtedly very unfavorable for writing news reports, lacking gimmicks, lacking The explosive point also lacks attention.

However, school newspapers are not commercial newspapers after all, they don't need to be profit-oriented, they have to create something, they can still find interesting highlights in the ordinary news.

For example, two freshmen were shortlisted for the main lineup.

Strictly speaking, this is not a shocking news, it can only be regarded as a small bright spot of a low-probability event, and it is worth looking forward to the performance of young freshmen.

But it would be much more interesting if two freshmen, including an international student, were both Asian and of Chinese descent.

In the NCAA tennis arena, there are actually quite a few Asian faces, especially in the second-tier and third-tier leagues. Some of them can play the first and second singles positions in the team, but overall, they are still a minority Pie, less so if placed among the top competition in Division I.

Now, the Bruins have two players in one breath, which naturally attracts attention.

Moreover, in the season opener, these two players performed very well, one only lost three sweeps, and the other directly sent two donuts, so McDonald and Gao Wen became the school newspaper reported The main character is not so unusual.

"...McDonald and Gao, the two freshmen in the first game, showed excellent competitive state and good touch, proving that they are ready to face the severe challenges of the new season.

'Maybe, our competitiveness to win this year can rise to a whole new level. 'Head coach Billy Martin commented on the two freshmen in an interview. "
