The powerful showdown of "Bruins vs. Sooners" has begun!
It has to be said that Cowell is really particular about his formation. At the technical and tactical level, he has already explored all aspects of the Bruins team in advance, not just around Gawain, but it can also be seen from the overall formation.
Cowell’s many teachings.
In the first doubles match, the Sooners seized on the Bruins' weaknesses and left no chance. They won the first two games neatly, and it can be seen from the score that the home team had a clear advantage. One game was "6
:1", one game was "6:2", the Bruins were indeed at a disadvantage in all aspects.
The total score was "1:0", and the Sooners took the lead in grabbing the doubles point.
In the singles match that followed, the order of the matches also showed that Cowell had carefully considered it, and even hoped to directly defeat his opponent "4:0". The careful planning at the layout level was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface.
The first game is a duel of No. 5 singles between the two sides.
Because the Sooners moved the No. 3 singles position to the No. 6 singles position, the other singles positions were moved up one position accordingly, so the Bruins' Joseph DiGiulio played against Alex Guilia.
It can be seen from the lineup that Cowell should know that Di Giulio has been in mediocre form recently. Even if he uses Guilia to attack the opponent, he may not have no chance. Facts have also proved that Cowell's plan is correct.
After three sets of fierce competition between the two players, although Di Giulio won a thrilling victory in the tie-break, Guilia, who was in better condition, easily won the first and third sets to set the record for the match.
The Sooners, playing at home, scored another victory and the total score expanded to "2:0".
The second game was a duel between No. 4 singles between the two sides.
MacDonald faced Peeraki-Siributwong, the original No. 5 single of the Sooners. Cowell hoped that Siributwong could effectively attack the opponent-if it failed, it didn't matter, just give it a try.
That’s it.
Coming on the stage with a total score of "0:2" behind, MacDonald faced unimaginable pressure. Siribwang's fighting style indeed caused huge trouble. A huge threat could already be felt in the opening stage, but Mike
Donald still clung to the score at the critical moment and won with the same score of "6:4" twice.
When McDonald scored the last point, all the players on the Bruins bench raised their arms and shouted. The heart-breaking tension made the game with red bayonets really come to the most critical moment - Fortunately, Mike
Donald pulled them back from the brink.
Cowell’s ambition can be seen from the sequence of games:
If Siribwang can upset MacDonald, the Sooners will lead "3:0", and then the next game will be the No. 3 singles showdown——
"Gage Bremer vs. Dane Webb".
What's the trick hidden in this?
In Cowell's calculation formula, Martin is likely to rank Gawain in the third singles position. In other words, Webber is specifically used to capture Gawain.
Weber is not currently ranked at the top in the United States, only ranked 46th, but he is a typical power player. The speed and power of the ball are very heavy and very heavy. His explosive returns can often form an advantage in the first three shots.
With his wide-open hitting style, even Thompson of the Bruins is still slightly better——
The disadvantage is that the technology is rough and the performance is unstable.
For the current Gawain, it is still difficult to deal with powerful players, and Weber's ranking and strength are already better than Gawain. The balance of victory and defeat is likely to be slightly tilted in the direction of Weber. Then, Martin is going to use Gawain to surprise him
A good move may turn out to be a bad move that ruins the Bruins' victory. You have to dig your own hole and jump out of it.
Now, MacDonald has withstood the pressure and impact and defeated Siribuwang, and the situation has changed subtly; and, most importantly, Martin did not let Gao Wen serve as the third singles. Facing Webber, he is still ranked No. 1 in the United States.
Twenty-sixth Bremer.
However, Cowell is not upset. Judging from the current situation, the Sooners still have the upper hand, and his formation has backup.
The third game was a head-on encounter between No. 3 singles from both sides.
really!
Weber seemed particularly excited and performed well throughout the game. Although Bremer fought until the last moment, Weber still successfully defeated Bremer with a "lower foul" and won the victory for the Sooners amidst the constant cheers of the home audience.
At the match point, there was only one singles win away from victory.
There is no doubt that this is an upset, but it also proves once again that Cowell's layout tactics are indeed outstanding.
As of this game, Cowell's formation has achieved miraculous results. When the two teams are close in strength, a mismatch has amplified the home advantage to the extreme. The confrontation between the two sides has also undergone subtle changes. Geely
The two wins between Ya and Weber can be called the biggest highlight of today.
If McDonald hadn't gritted his teeth and defeated Siribuwang, the University of Oklahoma would have easily swept UCLA at this time.
But, there is no if.
It is precisely because MacDonald withstood the pressure at the critical moment that even though Webb defeated Bremer in an upset and directly pushed the Bruins to the edge of the cliff, the Bruins still had a glimmer of hope, and two powerful generals came on stage one after another——
In the duel between the two teams' No. 1 singles, Thompson, who was suppressed to the extreme, released all his energy and blasted the opponent's No. 1 singles, Guillermo Alcorta, with "6:0", "6:
Sweeping the opponent with a 1" disparity, they sent out a donut and a fried dough stick, and the strong performance of the whole game rekindled the sluggish morale of the Bruins.
Today, the Bruins, who were hampered by everything, finally had their breakout moment.
As Alcorta, who is currently ranked second in the United States, he was prepared to lose, but he did not expect that the game would be one-sided.
There was no chance at all in the whole game and they were completely suppressed. Such a disastrous defeat needs to be summed up and reviewed at any time, but what is even worse now is that the Bruins not only regained a point, but also had a great morale. Thompson proved once again
He has maintained his good condition this season.
This also adds a bit of suspense to the subsequent score!
On the surface, Cowell remained unmoved and directed the game calmly, but deep down, he was still holding his breath.
Before the team's No. 2 singles Aexl Alvarez-llamas came on the stage, Cowell patted the young man on the shoulder and said sincerely.
"The opportunity is still in our hands, not only because we maintain the lead in the total score, but also because we have an absolute advantage in the last game, but they can't, they have no retreat, they can't afford to lose, and they are about to be crushed by the pressure now.
They are the ones in danger."
"Believe me, they will definitely give it a try, so you just need to take off your burdens, go all out, and give full play to your strength."
