Facing Gawain's knowing blow, Thompson exaggeratedly covered his chest, unable to say a word, his face full of sadness.
Seeing Thompson's 198cm tall man dedicating such exaggerated acting skills, Gawain couldn't help laughing. He laughed out loud, then bumped Thompson's shoulder to express his intimacy, and then explained, "I am the same height as you."
It’s different, I was just thinking about the game.”
Di Giulio, who lost the team's only set today, bumped into Gao Wen's shoulder, "What's wrong? Are you still upset about your opening? Don't be like this. If you are like this, what should I do?
?I should be covering myself with a towel and crying." His self-deprecating words made everyone burst into laughter.
Before Gawain could answer, Seer, who liked to join in the fun the most, chirped and said, "Joseph, you should compete with Mac."
The whole room burst into laughter!
Macdonald, on full fire today, sent out two donuts - "6:0" and "6:0", directly clearing the opponent and making the opponent confused.
Macdonald, who was innocently named, seemed a little shy, his bronze cheeks were slightly hot, and he smiled cautiously, not knowing how to respond.
Gao Wen was still taking care of his friend and shouted, "Are you talking about extra practice on the court? Come on, come on, Mike and I haven't finished warming up today. Now we have to go back to the court for a few rounds?"
One sentence immediately made Purcell and DiGiulio flinch.
As if seeing a ghost, Purcell said in an extremely exaggerated manner, "The devil! The devil is coming!"
The locker room burst into laughter again.
MacDonald also came to Gawain and asked, "Are you okay?" He also noticed Gawain's loss. Everyone was laughing and joking so much that no one was serious. Gawain said what he was thinking about the competition, but the result was nothing.
If someone is concerned about a specific situation, he will come over and ask more questions.
In fact, Gawain didn't care about today's start - in a tennis match, anything is possible, and there is no need to be upset because of a poor start; nor is it to sigh and lament about returning to the court - he doesn't have that much time to grieve.
Spring, you should enjoy your time standing on the court.
Of course, it's definitely not Elena.
Mainly because of the competition value.
Originally, Gawain thought that the competition was more valuable than training. After all, it was a real sword showdown with the outcome of victory or defeat, but this was not the case in reality.
The challenge of today's game is not big, and the opponent's strength is limited. If you say "I didn't sweat much during the whole game", it may be a bit exaggerated; but the growth potential only increased by 10%, which is far lower than expected.
It's better to practice serving by yourself on the training ground.
More or less, Gawain was still a little disappointed.
But if you think about it seriously, it's not surprising. First of all, the opponent is also a No. 6 singles player, and his strength itself is limited.
Secondly, the Bruins team was full of firepower today. When Gao Wen came on the field, it was already "5:0". The victory or defeat was a foregone conclusion. Naturally, the opponent's desire to resist was not high. Even Gao Wen himself was in the state.
I was very relaxed afterwards, there was no pressure at all, and the whole atmosphere was completely different.
The intensity of the final game may be weaker than the Bruins' team practice games. Judging from the system rules of daily training, basic training, and mini duels, it should be natural that the gains from this game are not high.
Thinking of this, his mood only stayed for a moment. Gao Wen quickly cheered up and looked at his practice partner Macdonald, "I'm going to practice serving again. How about we come together?"
MacDonald really "barely sweated at all" today, and his eyes lit up slightly, "Okay, okay."
When he appeared at the stadium again, he found that Ji Long was also there.
"Hey, Marcos!"
Gawain took the initiative to say hello with a smile. Jilong wiped the sweat from his forehead and gestured to them with his head, but continued training without saying anything more.
boom!
Crack!
The sound of the impact of the ball and the friction of footsteps echoed quietly over the court, but it did not last long before it was interrupted by laughter again.
"You bunch of animals...ah, I thought 'no way, no way', but I didn't expect that you would actually practice extra."
"Oh, I don't want to practice extra. I'm not that conscious, but every time I look at the coach's earnest eyes, I can't say no."
"Eh? Seer, why are you here too?"
"Haha, I came here specifically to fight for the main position. Didn't you expect it? Be careful, maybe I will be upgraded in the next game."
"I knew I would definitely be able to find Mike and Gao Wen on the court, you guys! You two guys!"
"I still wanted to take a good rest, but why did I end up here? It's not normal, I'm very abnormal."
One, two, three.
In the blink of an eye, the training ground was once again bustling with activity, the setting sun was blazing on the horizon where the sea and the sky met, and the smell of sweat wafted in the air.
The Bruins officially announced the arrival of the spring season with a hearty sweep, and the UCLA school newspaper also reported it immediately.
“The spring tennis season starts, starting a new journey at 7:0——
New season, new atmosphere, the Bruins welcome two new faces."
Against a weak team like the University of California, Irvine, a huge victory was a natural result. Even the game process lacked excitement. This is undoubtedly very disadvantageous for writing news reports. There is a lack of gimmicks and a lack of excitement.
The hot spots also lack attention.
However, after all, the school newspaper is not a commercial newspaper. It does not need to be profit-oriented. It has to create something no matter what. They can still find interesting highlights among ordinary news.
For example, two freshmen were shortlisted for the main lineup.
Strictly speaking, this is not shocking news, it can only be regarded as a small highlight of a low-probability event, and it is worth looking forward to the performance of the young freshmen.
However, it would be much more interesting if the two freshmen both have Asian faces and are of Chinese descent, including an international student.
In the NCAA tennis arena, there are actually quite a few Asian faces, especially in the second- and third-level leagues. Some of them can serve as the first and second singles positions in the team, but overall, they are still a minority.
Pie, if placed among the top competition in the first-level league, there will be even less.
Now, two Bruins appeared in one breath, naturally attracting attention.
Moreover, in the season opener, both players performed very well. One only lost three games in a sweep, and the other even gave away two donuts. As a result, MacDonald and Gao Wen became reported by the school newspaper.
The protagonist is not that strange.
"...McDonald and Gao, two freshmen, showed excellent competitive condition and good touch in the first game, proving that they are ready to face the severe challenges of the new season.
‘Perhaps, our championship competitiveness can reach a new level this year.’ This is how head coach Billy Martin commented on the two freshmen in an interview.”
