Match Point

"Wow, the Bruins took a risky move and used Gao, a freshman, as the surprise soldier to attack the Trojans' first singles against Sacramento."

"What kind of tactic is this?"

"Is Gao coming on as a sacrificial kid? Or is Martin really looking forward to Gao being able to upset Saramento?"

"Judging from the formation of troops, it is obvious that Martin has absolute confidence in the follow-up second singles, third singles, and fourth singles. Instead, the Trojans are slightly behind."

"But very, very unexpectedly, the Bruins did not arrange the first singles later, but the first singles. What kind of strategy is this?"

"If it is a game that is forfeited, then the Bruins can arrange the first singles duel in the last or penultimate game. As long as they win the previous game, then this matchup is unnecessary; but the Bruins However, the head coach arranged this matchup in the first singles match."

"Hmm...interesting, very interesting."

"Did Martin really expect Gao to bring surprises?"

"When the Bruins and the Trojans meet, there's never a shortage of talk, and obviously today was no exception."

The Los Angeles City Derby Day attracted the attention of the whole city. Not only did ESPN send two commentators and partners to broadcast the whole process; but the local media in Los Angeles also crowded the scene to the brim. .

The emotions of shock, surprise, curiosity, and research erupt when people see the list of matches and the number of games played.

No one can be an exception!

What exactly is Martin thinking, such an arrangement of matches and such an arrangement of games?

It's not just a bystander, the person involved also can't figure it out.

anger? disappointment? humiliation? pain? At a loss?

It was difficult for Saramento to accurately describe his feelings. When he learned that his opponent was not Thompson or even Giron, he froze in place.

He has always been preparing for this city derby with Thompson as his goal, hoping to prove himself in front of his father. Even if he does not have the title of national singles champion for the time being, at least he has the ability to beat the No. 1 singles player in the United States. This is his own pursuit of career maximum capital.

Even Geelong can't do it, it must be Thompson, because Thompson is now ranked No. 1 in the United States, and Saramento needs to beat No. 1 in the United States under the watchful eyes of his father.

But what about now?

Gao Wen?

What is this?

Even if Saramento beat Gao Wen with two donuts, it wouldn't explain anything, because the freshman was an unknown person, and even a complete victory would be a matter of course, so what would father think? He just missed the chance to prove himself?

Moreover, the Bruins deliberately avoided fighting and chose an "abandoned son" to abolish the Trojans' first singles. Is this a humiliation to Saramento or is it important?

What matters is not what he thinks, but what his father thinks? Such a game means nothing to him.

mean. Shameless. cunning. treacherous. insidious.

Saramento is willing to attach all the negative words to the Bruins coach Martin, but what is worse is that this is still a game that cannot be lost—

If he lost the victory against Gao Wen, then what would he become in the eyes of his father?

Just thinking of his father's disappointed eyes made Saramento's back feel goosebumps.

When Saramento actually saw Gao Wen with his own eyes, that youthful face was chatting and laughing with his teammates. He was not only relaxed but also happy. He could feel the vigor emanating from his body halfway across the court——

Of course, for that freshman, becoming the No. 1 singles player was great news, but for him, it was a complete disaster.

His self-confidence, his pride, his future... It seems that he was crumpled into a ball of waste paper, crumpled and thrown into the trash can.

"Ray, are you okay?" Hanfman seemed to be able to sense the burning anger in Saramento's eyes.

Saramento still barely controlled his emotions and shook his head, "It's okay, I'm just thinking about how to beat my opponent." And how to beat my opponent hard.

Thinking of this, Saramento's heartburn got a little better.

Then Saramento withdrew his gaze and looked at Hanfman, "You are about to play against Thompson, and you may need to adjust your tactics."

During training, Hanfman has always used Geelong as an imaginary opponent to arrange tactics, but now they need to face an opponent with a completely different style. They must make timely adjustments, otherwise Hanfman will not be able to play this game.

From this point of view, Martin's tactical layout has achieved the effect of surprise. As for whether he can win, he has to fight on the field.

But the head coach of the Trojans, Smith, is still as immobile as a mountain. As the favorite to win the championship, he is ready to face any unexpected situation. What's more, Martin's change also proves that he lacks confidence and dare not let Thompson confront Saramento head-on. , which quietly straightened Smith's spine a little.

"We are all looking forward to a wonderful duel. For the Los Angeles City Derby, there is no need for encouragement or stimulation. As long as you see the opponents on the other side of the field, they will not let the audience down."

"Strictly speaking, every matchup today is the focus, and every win or loss may change the final result. Everything is the same as the Bruins against the Swifts three days ago~www.wuxiahere.com~Now the Bruins Facing strong opponents continuously, the game situation will have more things to watch.”

In the studio, Sofar sat in the commentary seat again, but today he has a partner, which can make the work easier.

When he saw the list of matchups, Sofar couldn't help but look forward to it - Gao Wen vs. Sacramento, what is the direction of this game?

Three days ago, the Quickies tried to make bold adjustments to disrupt the situation, but ended up shooting themselves in the foot. So what about the Bruins this time?

However, expectations still need to wait.

"The doubles match started first. Today, the main court of the Los Angeles Tennis Center is packed to the brim. The enthusiasm of the audience can be clearly felt..."

buzz buzz.

buzz buzz.

Before the dawn had time to climb to the treetops, the air was already boiling, and the stadium was filled with strong sparks, which seemed to explode at any moment. The steaming heat wave was even more dazzling than the sun, as if you were in a sauna room , every pore is breathing hot and scalding.

Usually, the tennis courts that can accommodate 3,800 people are often empty and sparse, and the attendance rate can reach 20%, which is already very lively—after all, the tennis team competition is really too long, and all the games are on weekdays , The audience really doesn't have that much time to wait every day.

But today, the tennis court has been bustling with crowds. The attendance rate has reached 80% before the game starts. You can also see the audience entering the court one after another. The continuous lively scene is like a campus. The open day was average, and the crowds of people coming and going overwhelmed the entire campus.

The Los Angeles city derby has such appeal.
