Unfortunately, Gao Wen and MacDonald's batting practice could not continue after all. The arrival of assistant coach Grant-Chen also announced the end of the "two people's world". Only then did they remember——
They came to the stadium early today to prepare for winter training.
"Hey, man, don't be too diligent, you will cause us to be sent a warning letter by the association." Grant looked at the two sweating young men, joked with a smile, and then quickly hit his hands, "
The training equipment hasn’t been moved out yet, so we need to speed up. On my way here just now, I saw the coach buying coffee at Starbucks.”
The practice had to come to an end temporarily. Only then did Gawain and Macdonald remember the business and got busy quickly.
Seeing this, Grant did not stand idly by and did not ask what happened this morning. He just got busy along with it.
UCLA has always been one of the NCAA's traditional sports schools. Football, basketball, swimming and other fields all have glorious historical traditions. The same is true for tennis.
Jimmy Connors (Jiors) and John McEnroe (John-Roe), who were admitted to the World Tennis Hall of Fame early, are both legendary superstar players from the Bruins. They once created an entire era and made professional tennis climb to the top.
An important new peak, one after another has left its own glory in the long history.
In the NCAA competition, the Bruins have always had strong men and weak women. In the honor list of the National Championship, the women's team only won one team championship in 2008; while the men's team has won 16 national team championship trophies.
Ranked third behind the University of Southern California and Stanford University.
The current head coach of the UCLA men's tennis team is Billy-Martin. He joined the Bruins as an assistant coach in 1984 and became the team's head coach in 1994. This year he is about to enter the
The twentieth year of the head coach's career.
In 2005, Billy Martin became the third head coach in the Bruins' history to be inducted into the school's Hall of Fame, and he subsequently led the team to its best record in the same year.
In that year's NCAA championship game, the Bruins competed with Baylor University in the team championship for the second consecutive year——
In the previous year's game, Baylor University swept the Bruins with a score of "4:0" to reach the top, and after that created the second longest winning streak in NCAA history of fifty-seven team games; in 2005
In 2016, he ranked as the top seed in the league with an undefeated record and entered the title defense battle unstoppably.
Facing such a powerful opponent, and the opponent they had just defeated and lost the championship the year before, the Bruins completed an incredible revenge battle, and finally narrowly defeated their opponent with a total score of "4:3" and won the U.S. Championship!
This is also the Bruins’ first national team championship trophy in twenty years since 1984.
Last year, under the leadership of Billy Martin, the Bruins made great progress and reached the NCAA National Championship finals for the first time since 2005; standing across the net was the University of Virginia, which had reached the championship game for three consecutive years.
, the two sides launched a fierce duel with red bayonets.
In the end, the University of Virginia defeated the Bruins with a score of "4:3" and won the championship.
Although last season unfortunately missed the 17th national team championship trophy in the team's history, this Bruins team is still a well-deserved strong team. Not only does it have two players at their peak, but also
There are many young players with unlimited potential and strong strength.
In the spring season that will kick off in two months, the Bruins are also one of the championship contenders.
It is worth mentioning that in Los Angeles, a city of immigrants, it is common for Asian-American tennis team members to do internships.
Assistant coach Grant Chen and team manager Evan Lee are both of Chinese descent, and another team manager, David Vu, is of Vietnamese descent.
Among the players, in addition to MacDonald and Gao Wen, there are one Indian, one Chinese and two Japanese players. In addition, there are many players from different Latin American countries. The entire team is very diverse and very diverse.
Rich, you can feel the comfortable atmosphere with daily practice.
With Grant's help, the training preparations soon came to an end, and then the players arrived at the scene one after another and greeted each one familiarly.
"Hey, Marcos, why are you late today? Be careful, there are many people eyeing your position. Mike and Gawain were practicing secretly this morning."
Marcos-Giron had just entered the stadium when he could hear a group of big boys laughing and cheering, making it very lively.
Jilong slightly raised the brim of his sapphire blue tennis hat, and he could see the bright eyes shining in the shadows. Then he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, raised his lower jaw slightly, and said lightly, "Come on, I will
Waiting."
Without too many words, I can already feel the confidence coming from me.
"Ho ho ho! Ho ho ho!"
A group of grown-up boys stomped their feet and clapped, and whistles could be heard passing through. They were all just looking at the fun and not taking it too seriously - in fact, Marcos was not late at all, just like Macdonald and Gawain were not late at all.
Nothing against Marcos.
There was also a trace of helplessness in Jilong's eyes, and he didn't say much. He seemed to know that these friends loved to joke.
Giron just nodded his head at Macdonald and Gao Wen respectively and gave a polite salute. Then he carried his tennis bag and prepared to start today's training step by step.
