In the last point, Gao Wen used his seemingly "unstable" forehand to score a winning point. He had a comprehensive advantage on both offense and defense. He broke serve with four straight points and the balance of the game was immediately broken.
On the court, bathed in the golden sunshine, Gawain clenched his right fist and raised it high. He stood in the front half of the court and looked at Libitis with stern eyes. His tense muscles and resolute eyes conveyed high spirits.
With his fighting spirit and belief in winning, his strong aura suppressed his opponents and firmly controlled the game in his hands.
Like a god of war.
The whole audience burst into applause!
Not only because Gao Wen broke serve first, but also because of the way Gao Wen broke serve, scoring four points in a row, suppressing Libitis with his smooth attack, instantly accelerating to break the balance of the game, and breaking serve directly in the "love-game", which is really impressive.
It was pleasing to the eye, and the audience cheered without hesitation.
It can be clearly felt that Libitis's momentum was given a slap in the face. After he stopped, his shoulders drooped slightly, and he swung the racket twice in a depressed manner, feeling a little depressed and a little frustrated.
He knew that he should make changes. The confrontation was very unfavorable to him. In this game, he had no chance at all. But the problem was that Gawain always seemed to be one step ahead and his changes could not keep up with the rhythm.
, it was already in trouble before it had time to change.
So, what should he do?
More importantly, he cannot see the context of Gawain's tactics and strategies. He only knows that Gawain has been making adjustments, but does not know the causes and consequences. Naturally, he has no way to make judgments, cannot see the overall situation, and cannot see the framework.
Even if I know I need to change, I'm still in the dark.
what to do?
Huchihuchi.
Libitis gasped for air and kept convincing himself that the game had just begun and that his serve was broken in the initial stage. This was not a big problem. There would still be time to recover later and he could break serve to equalize the score. Everything
None are known yet.
Despite this, Libitis always felt that he lacked confidence, and his mind was full of questions but could not find the answers, which made him a little uneasy.
If Robinson knew what was going on in Libitis' mind, he would nod his head in affirmation: It's right to be uneasy.
Robinson, a scout owned by Nike.
Of course, his scout is slightly different from football and rugby scouts. His task is to travel around major professional online schools, NCAA arenas and youth arenas, constantly looking for future superstars worthy of attention and training, and then write scouting reports.
Submit it to the head office for further evaluation before deciding whether to sign a contract with them.
Maria Sharapova, as early as when she was eleven years old, Nike had already seen her development potential and signed her early. At that time, Sharapova was just an ordinary professional tennis school student and did not even have an agent.
He has already signed his first cooperation contract with Nike.
Not only Nike, but Adidas is no exception. They all send professional scouts to all corners of the world, casting a wide net in the youth field to find buried gems, often signing contracts at very low prices before the age of fifteen.
, sponsor their jerseys and equipment, and then wait for these young seedlings to grow into big trees.
Robinson played this role and came to Athens specifically to watch the U.S. Championship Game.
In recent years, NCAA tennis as a whole has been relatively sluggish, and the next superstar has yet to emerge. Nike and Adidas have both reduced the proportion of scouts. In the past, there were 30 scouts scattered in different venues on the West Coast alone, but now there are only 30 scouts scattered across the United States.
You don't necessarily have thirty scouts.
Just like this time, Robinson was the only scout who came to Athens on behalf of Nike, and if he read correctly, Adidas was also one.
Precisely because of the limited personnel, Robinson's task is also relatively heavy. He needs to observe more than 20 players, which also means that he can only stay for a short time in each game and needs to travel to different stadiums throughout the day;
If the subject of attention can advance to the deeper rounds of the knockout round, there will be more opportunities for observation.
Gawain is also on Robinson's list.
Objectively speaking, Gao Wen has not yet had any brilliant achievements in the NCAA arena, but his rapid rise this season has been very fierce and he has shown impressive strength. In addition, behind him is a vast Chinese market.
It was easy to get into Robinson's sight.
In today's Chinese tennis market, thanks to the strong rise of Li Na, Nike has successfully opened up the situation, but there is still a blank in terms of men's tennis players. Nike and Adidas have sponsored some players' jerseys and equipment, but unfortunately, they have never broken into the market.
come out.
Now that we have seen another new idea, Nike naturally hopes to win it before its competitors. The key point is, is this Gao Wen worth looking forward to?
Today is Robinson's first time to watch Gao Wen's game live. It has only been four games, and his eyes are already shining brightly.
For ordinary viewers, what they saw was Gao Wen's "love-game" break and his smooth attack, which was very beautiful; but Robinson saw more.
First of all, it was Gawain's tactical layout and adaptability in this receiving and serving game. He was one step ahead at every point, which really made Libitis very uncomfortable.
Secondly, it was Gawain's entire opening layout. Although Robinson just had an idea and it has not been confirmed yet, he had a hunch that Gawain had already started thinking in his mind from the first serve.
Just like a computer, it collects information about your opponent and then launches a counterattack.
Robinson also knew that his idea was ridiculous. Gao Wen was an eighteen-year-old college player. He was still playing the game based on instinct. Even if he had some tennis wisdom, he could not be so smart. He was not thirty years old.
veteran, but that's Robinson's instinct.
Moreover, Robinson likes Gawain's playing temperament very much——
Aura pressure!
Gawain is very good at sending signals to his opponents on a psychological level, as if he can see a champion's heart beating in his chest.
Robinson guessed that Gawain should be able to win easily today. Of course, if he was slapped in the face and Libbitis successfully came back to win, then Gawain would not be worthy of his attention. Instead, Libbitis should take a closer look.
look.
But Robinson no longer has time to watch this game at this time. He needs to watch the next player. Today's schedule is very full, and he will come back to watch Geelong's game later, which is also on the watch list.
players; as for Gao Wen or Libitis, he can continue to observe while waiting for the quarterfinals. He is also somewhat looking forward to the follow-up performance of the Bruins, the favorite to win the championship.
Without any nostalgia, Robinson turned and left.
Ho ho ho!
The audience cheered again from behind, and then the referee's voice could be heard announcing the score.
