Defeating a rival in the same city at home is the happiest and most wonderful experience since the start of the spring season. Just recalling it makes me want to scream.
However, being able to see a legendary player like Sampras in the locker room after the game is another unique experience. The excitement and excitement that makes your heart almost explode makes every cell in your body immersed in a volcano.
In an explosive state, it cannot stop for 24 hours.
If Sampras was full of praise for a certain player and treated him differently, that would feel like...
From yesterday to today, in just twelve hours, "Gao Wen" has become the most popular discussion topic on campus.
First, he turned the tide as a dark horse, upset Harris on the edge of the cliff, and continued the Bruins' undefeated streak by stepping on the shoulders of the Sooners; then he made a shining debut as a surprise player, upset the Sasquatch under pressure.
Lamento, sounded the clarion call for the Bruins to suppress the city rival Trojans.
Especially the latter - the number one hero who defeated his rival in the same city. This was enough to make the entire University of California, Los Angeles excited.
In just four days, "freshman freshman" Gao Wen emerged from the sky like a hero, comparable to a shooting star, and his brilliance lit up the entire night sky in an instant.
If you haven't heard the name "Gawain" in the past two days, you are either a nerd who is devoted to studying, or an outsider who doesn't hear anything outside the window, because even among whispers in the library, you can occasionally...
Capturing every bit of the derby showdown in the same city, it's really not easy to miss it.
Gurgling. Gurgling.
It's really hot!
It is worth mentioning that after consecutively defeating Andrew Harris and Ray Saramento, Gao Wen finally had a national ranking for the first time——
Seventy-seven.
In the NCAA, there are thousands of tennis players in the United States, and it is difficult to list all the players, so there are only the top 128 spots in the national rankings.
The national rankings are first ranked based on the record in the fall season, and then ranked based on the number of wins and losses in the spring season and the strength of the opponents.
For most teams' No. 5 singles and No. 6 singles, they may still be unranked at the end of the season, because the players they face are often also unranked No. 5 singles and No. 6 singles, even if they maintain a complete victory.
record, but considering the limited strength of opponents, it is very difficult to improve the ranking.
Gao Wen defeated high-ranking players in two consecutive games, and then rode the Rockets all the way up. Not only did he have a ranking, but he also entered the top 100.
Of course, such a ranking within the Bruins is still just the No. 5 singles - MacDonald is ranked 51st.
However, the most meaningful thing about the national ranking is that Gao Wen is now no longer a "nobody", but a key figure who has entered the sights of major teams:
Be careful, Gawain is out!
…
"Hey, handsome! Can I buy you a cup of coffee?"
Gao Wen, who had just left the teaching building after class, could hear the sound of wind carrying laughter and laughter from the direction of the lawn. Turning his head and looking over, he could see the young boys and girls all casting their burning gazes, including a blond girl named Luoluo.
He generously extended an invitation to Gawain, his bright smile shining brightly in the sun.
Gawain was still a little unaccustomed to such a direct invitation, and couldn't help scratching his head, but after all, he was no longer a college student, and he was not so nervous that he ran away, so he shouted back, "Change to a sports drink."
How's it going? I have some training tasks to complete later."
The witty yet funny answer made everyone burst into laughter in an instant.
The blonde even exaggeratedly covered her heart, "Oh, sweetheart, you hurt my heart."
The back and forth teasing allowed the cheerful laughter to take wings and fly freely under the blue sky.
Gawain also had a smile in his eyes, turned around and jogged towards the training ground.
The spring season is still in progress, and the next game is two days later. The tennis team still needs to conduct simple training every day, and there is no time to relax. Moreover, Gao Wen also needs to summarize the victory over Saramento yesterday.
There is no doubt that Salamento is Gao Wen's strongest opponent so far, from strength to ranking. Although Salamento's playing style is not aggressive and offensive, the defensive ability that covers the whole field exerts on
Gawain's tremendous pressure persisted throughout, and the tight string in his mind never had time to breathe.
If you don't pay attention to those service games at the end of the two sets, it may be a different situation.
Judging from the results, Gao Wen won the match in two straight sets; but judging from the process, Gao Wen had really revealed all his cards so far and tried his best to win this victory.
Through this game, Gawain can see his own shortcomings——
The forehand performance is still unstable because of the lack of strength support. When hitting the board at critical moments, it will inevitably be affected by the on-the-spot mentality, opponent's pressure, one's own state, etc., resulting in unknown mistakes.
The most direct impact is that when the game is tight, he needs to change more tactics, use more methods, and complete more layouts to score.
From the perspective of the entire game, this is very thankless.
Of course, in addition, there are many shortcomings, such as the attack power of the serve, the method of returning the serve, the concealment of the backhand, the handling of close balls... and so on, but in men's tennis competitions
Here, without a forehand, the game will indeed face more difficulties.
However, shortcomings also mean that there is still room for improvement, and there is still room for improvement in one's own game, which is a good thing.
What's more, the difficult victory over Saramento was also very rewarding, and this was also the happiest part.
Unexpectedly but reasonably, personal attributes once again experienced a natural improvement.
It makes sense, because the two sets of the game have drained the two players of Gao Wen and Saramento to the extreme. The whole game is tense and intense. This is undoubtedly Gao Wen's most difficult and dangerous game so far.
A game is a comprehensive exercise for the body, mind and technology.
Unexpectedly, that is because the physical attributes did not increase, but both the technical attributes and the mental attributes increased.
The game against Sacramento took one hour and forty-three minutes, even longer than the three-set game in Geelong. It was also the longest game in the Los Angeles derby. This is literally
Naturally, after enduring the harsh test, Gawain thought that his physical attributes would improve.
This is not the case.
In fact, the histogram of the endurance sub-item under the physical attribute has slightly increased, and it is more obvious. It proves that the body has indeed withstood the high-intensity test, but the physical attribute number is still 58, motionless.
