"Ho ho ho, brown bear, brown bear, brown bear, brown bear."
"Ho ho ho, brown bear! Brown bear! Brown bear!"
"Ho ho ho! Brown... bear! Hey hey hey!"
The teammates of the Bruins team bustled around Gao Wen and Jilong, shouting rhythms and rhymes, roaring like war songs, cheering for the two teammates.
Then, he turned around and left like a tide. MacDonald gave Gawain a last hug, and patted Gawain's back hard. MacDonald's heartbeat could be felt through his chest, and even
Even more nervous than Gawain, he then turned around and followed his teammates to the spectator stand, preparing to watch the final battle.
In the blink of an eye, the locker room became quiet again, and you could faintly feel the remaining noise gradually settling down, making the silence more and more harsh. Only then did you notice that only Gawain and Jilong were left in the entire space.
Before the start of the spring season, no one could predict the direction and outcome of the season, including Gao Wen and Jilong themselves. They did not expect that the two of them would actually meet in official games this season.
Although in daily training, the two people had a lot of mini duels. Gao Wen went from winning less and losing more at the beginning to winning more and losing less later. Gao Wen's progress can be felt by everyone in the team;
Practice matches and official matches are two completely different things.
As the news media said, in official games, Gao Wen has never defeated the top five players in the United States, and his strength has always been severely tested.
Unexpectedly, the first test was against Geelong.
After experiencing the ups and downs of the entire long season, this time, they are no longer teammates fighting side by side, but opponents standing across the net.
Jilong looked at Gawain with a somewhat complicated expression that was difficult to summarize in a few words.
Hatred? Of course not.
Jealousy? No.
Perhaps, more or less, there is some competition. Geelong has some pride that needs to be protected, and at the same time, it hopes to prove itself on the court.
Then, Jilong saw Gawain coming over on his own initiative, with a bright smile on his face, and said openly.
"May the team with the better performance win."
Jilong looked at Gawain's outstretched right hand. His tall and straight posture and bright eyes conveyed strong self-confidence. He stood upright in front of him and launched a challenge. In just a few months, the energetic and proactive freshman had already
Completed the transformation and arrived at the current position.
It's like a lifetime ago.
So Jilong also straightened his back, held his head high and stretched out his right hand, and solemnly took Gawain's right hand.
“The team that plays well wins!”
Really loud!
A handshake, a smile, from teammates to opponents, start a duel!
Then they both released their right hands, returned to their own corners, and waited for their appearance.
Gurgling!
Gurgling!
At the end of May, Athens could already be deeply immersed in the hustle and bustle of summer. The cheers and roars of the audience made the air burn. Under the spotlight, the two teams in the finals appeared one after another, and their hearts could not help but follow.
Tighten up.
"Seed vs Dark Horse", who can have the last laugh?
Will the "little prince" Jiron defend his throne? Or will the "dark horse king" Gawain steal the crown in one go?
Geelong and Gawain, they both have their own battles to fight, they both need to prove themselves, and they both desire to win the final championship, but unfortunately, there is only one winner in the end.
So, who will win?
In the coin guessing session, Jilong guessed correctly and took the right to serve.
"At the beginning, we can see Geelong's determination."
"According to usual habits, Jilong often likes to be the first to receive the serve, but he also knows Gao Wen's game style and likes to grab the opening of the first three games, so Jilong changed his tactics and chose to serve first, which also shows his determination.
, determined to win this game.”
In the live broadcast room, Sofal is still in charge, and this is also the last NCAA game he narrates this season.
When the long journey is about to reach the end, the emotions are undoubtedly mixed, but when I see Gao Wen and Ji Long on the court, the season's most watched geniuses face off against the season's most unexpected dark horse, and they are still from the same team because
The two teammates whose main positions have changed, this is definitely the best match of the season, joy and happiness fill the entire chest again——
What could be a more perfect way to end the 2013-2014 season?
The game has begun.
But you can feel from the beginning that the game is different after all.
On the one hand, the atmosphere of the finals is indeed different. There are obviously more live cameras and the audience is obviously more agitated. Every point makes a harsh noise. In addition, the championship is determined by one battle. It seems that even the air has become
If you tighten up, a little spark may detonate the scene.
On the other hand, both teams knew each other well. They were very familiar teammates during training, but today they stood opposite each other as opponents. The teammates they were obviously the most familiar with were so unfamiliar. Naturally, the whole team felt different.
To put it simply, some tactics and shots will not be used in practice matches. Even if they are used, the atmosphere and feeling will be different.
Moreover, in previous singles matches, Martin would analyze the opponent's strength and situation for the players and help formulate tactics, but this was not possible in the finals. The coach took a back seat and maintained an objective attitude, and all tactics needed to be figured out by the players themselves.
This is the first confrontation between Gao Wen and Ji Long in an official game, which also means that the two are the most familiar strangers to each other.
Due to various reasons, Gao Wen and Ji Long were more or less reserved in the opening stage. The game lacked highlights, the process was a bit dull, and there was no life-and-death fight in the final stage.
"2:1".
The two players each successfully maintained their serve, and then Jilong, who served first, took the lead and entered the first ninety-second inter-game break.
Ninety seconds, it seemed like it was over after just two drinks of water, and the game continued.
When the two players walked onto the court again, it was Gawain's serve.
Geelong took the lead.
At this point, the gap in competition experience can still be seen.
Throughout the entire season, Gao Wen's sophistication and wisdom have been recognized a lot. His control over rhythm control, opportunity seizing, momentum and pressure, etc. are all impressive, but his game experience is still an irreparable shortcoming.
It was exposed on the final stage.
After a brief trial, Jilong's baseline strength was revealed. His hitting was not a sudden force or speed increase, but a change in line layout - that is to say, while the hitting rhythm remained unchanged,
Change the route and landing point suddenly, and be very secretive.
Facing the clever Gawain, Jilong relied on his strong bottom line strength to take a step ahead in terms of tactical combination. This is the advantage of experience.
Moreover, because Giron's batting action is very secretive, Gao Wen has no time to complete the prediction, and naturally the defense will lose its advantage.
In this service game alone, Giron has deceived Gauvin twice by hitting the back ball and successfully scored. This also forced Gauvin to rethink Giron's hitting line and his own hitting combination.
To suppress Geelong's line change.
But in a service game, which is four points, everything changes rapidly, and if you are slightly slow, you will not be able to keep up with the changes.
In the blink of an eye, Jilong had already taken the lead in getting the break point.
