When arranging troops, there are definitely more than one or two factors that need to be considered.
More importantly, the last time the Bruins and Sooners met, the competition between the coaches of both sides in terms of matchup layout did indeed play a key role in the outcome. This also highlighted the characteristics of the team competition, as did the wisdom of the coaches.
plays an important role.
This time in the National Championship Game, the Bruins have the home team advantage. How to make clever use of this advantage is also an important issue on the road to winning the championship.
It is precisely because of this that Martin has been thinking hard.
"Coach, no matter who you send on the field, they will do their best." Grant comforted Martin.
A smile finally appeared on Martin's face, "That's true."
"I just hope that they can slowly get into shape, not only for the team competition, but also for the individual competitions that will start soon. If they can achieve good results, they will get more opportunities in the early stage of turning professional...
…”
Thompson and Giron are seniors and juniors respectively, and they have reached the point of facing career choices. Martin is looking forward to the Bruins winning the team championship, but at the same time, he also needs to consider the future of the players. He sincerely hopes that these children can
Have a better future.
So, how should we set up the formation for the semi-finals?
On May 18th, the semi-finals of the United States Championship begin!
There were no clouds in the sky, the sun was scorching, and the blue sky spread out toward the horizon above our heads, so vast that it seemed to have no boundaries.
Bustlingly, a group of big boys all gathered around the super TV screen in the lounge, held their breath, and then——
ah!
Ahhhh!
Everyone raised their arms and shouted, ecstatically clenching their fists and roaring. The roar like a Viking pirate shook the entire lounge. Other people coming and going cast their gazes, looking at this group of irrational... lunatics, but
Soon he showed a knowing smile and became happy.
Gauvin, McDonald, Sale, Thompson...and so on, all the Bruins players and coaches crowded in front of the TV screen.
Just now, the Bruins women's tennis team won the match point and, led by Stella Sampras, reached the finals of the U.S. Championship for the second time in history!
Undoubtedly, for the women's tennis team, they have created history. With the help of God, their performance shined brightly in Athens, which also inspired the raging passion of the men's tennis team. One or two of them all raised their arms and shouted, even more than they did.
I am even more excited and excited when I reach the finals.
Major news media have long been paying attention to whether the UCLA men's and women's teams can join hands to enter the finals of the National Championship and create history. Hot topics of discussion are flowing in the streets of Athens. Now the women's team has
Be the first to advance, half of the mystery is revealed——
"Hey guys, it's our turn next!"
Gao Wen clenched his fists and roared at the teammates around him. He was full of passion and shouted with a red face. The roar from the depths of the Dantian instantly made all the players excited. They hit their chests and palms one after another.
Constant enthusiasm is burning in the blood.
"Let's win some games!"
Along with Gawain's shouts, the boys also geared up and walked into the arena with their heads held high, ready to challenge today's top four opponents:
Sooners.
For victory, they have neither desire nor belief. The only thing they need to do is to go on the court and do their best!
It can be seen from the fresh formation that coach Martin and coach Cowell on the opposite side are once again competing in wisdom.
Coach Cowell, who was smart and misguided last time at home, was a lot more cautious as a visiting team this time. In the end, he chose to stay the same in response to changes, and did not make any adjustments to the six singles positions.
Coach Martin, who regained the initiative, seemed to be doing it with ease. The drastic layout of the entire game showed the deep confidence of the Bruins.
The Sooners, from the first single to the sixth single, are Alkota, Lamas, Harris, Weber, Gillia, and Siribwang.
The entire lineup completely continued the members of the last match, and the formation was basically consistent with the rankings. The only changes were Harris and Webb. According to the rankings, Webber had actually overtaken Harris, but in the semifinals, Harris still
Earned the trust of the head coach to serve as the third single.
People couldn't help but speculate that Cowell's arrangement was to give Harris a chance to prove himself? After all, judging from the Bruins' ranking order, the third singles player is Gawain.
Could it be that the two players met again by fate?
Then we still need to look at Martin's formation.
The Bruins, from the first single to the sixth single, are Gao Wen, Thompson, MacDonald, Gillon, Bremer, and Sale.
The composition of the members is still the familiar faces from the second half of the season, but the formation brings huge surprises.
Gao Wen serves as the first singles player, which shows that coach Martin is trusting the freshman more and more. Even in the key games of the semi-finals, he still gives him the honor of the first singles player.
MacDonald was promoted to the third singles, and Geelong, who has been mediocre recently, took the fourth singles position for the first time since the season. You can see the change in the atmosphere quietly.
But it just proves the current strength of the Bruins. The top four singles are all capable of being ranked first in the United States. Even if Martin takes the risk of making a strong change, they still have enough confidence to win every game, even if
Even in critical games like the semifinals, Martin still dared to take risks.
In this way, the match list will be released——
Harris did not meet Gauvin again, but faced Macdonald. After a lot of mismatches, the fourth singles of both sides still met at the third singles position. Such a matchup made people laugh and cry.
Similarly, Alcorta, who was looking forward to revenge against Thompson, did not get a chance, but was about to face Gao Wen, who has risen like a comet this season.
So, can Gawain shoulder the burden of Martin's expectations?
In the first game of the semi-finals, I was the first to blow the horn.
In the previous regular season's first duel, the University of Oklahoma showed an absolute advantage in the doubles match, easily defeating the Bruins with a big score and winning the doubles points.
This time they faced off again in the National Championship, and UCLA's doubles performance took on a completely new look. Every match was tight on the score. After each team narrowly won one game, in the decisive game, they fought fiercely to "6:6"
, in the end the outcome can only be decided through a tie-break.
"7:5", the tiebreaker was stalemate until the last moment, but the Sooners were still slightly better, and almost defeated the Bruins again, taking the lead in winning the doubles points and taking the initiative in the game.
Although after the doubles match, the big score seemed to be the same as in the regular season, everyone knew that it was a completely new game with the same opponent.
