The noisy and noisy shouts of support collided and intertwined together like this, and the restlessness permeating the air could be felt on the surface of the skin, and then the blood boiled uncontrollably, even among the melon-eating people watching the excitement.
.
The only difference is that they don't roll up their sleeves and get started.
After all, tennis is a gentleman's sport and the business of the game stays on the court.
Compared with collective sports such as rugby, basketball, football, etc., tennis is an individual project after all, and the shared fate effect brought by the sense of group honor is much weaker, and it will not really lead to a big fight. Even so, the power of a city derby is still unparalleled.
underestimate.
Although there is no official team uniform in the tennis match, the audience still enthusiastically wears the representative sports pullovers and baseball caps of their respective schools. The navy blue of the University of California, Los Angeles and the brown and red of the University of Southern California are all over the venue.
Collision with each other and interweaving with each other.
Spectacular!
Buzz buzz.
Buzz buzz.
Air, boiling.
"Viewers, audience friends! Welcome to the ESPN Tennis Channel. We are now broadcasting for you the first Los Angeles derby of the new season at the Los Angeles Tennis Center, between the UCLA Bruins and the USC Trojans."
"Now, the first pair of doubles players from both sides are warming up."
"Historically, these two teams have met a total of 168 times on the tennis court..."
Gurgling.
Gurgling.
Being at the scene, the atmosphere was completely different. Those cheers, shouts, those sights, and the crowds really made Gao Wen feel the charm of competitive sports. It was an impact and shock that was enough to burn the soul. The beating of the heart could not help but follow the audience.
The breaths all hit together.
In the previous life, Gawain missed this game due to a knee injury, and Sale came on as the sixth single.
But in fact, whether Gao Wen plays or not will not change the result, because Sale won the game, but the team lost to the city's rival with a score of "3:4" - that is to say, even if Gao Wen played as the sixth singles
Even if you win the game, you can't change the outcome.
In that game, the Trojans' first three singles made consecutive contributions. Saramento defeated Thompson, Hanfman defeated Geelong, and Queiroz defeated MacDonald. In addition, they won a point in the doubles game and they successfully won from the away game.
Take away a valuable victory.
Although the individual player rankings in the United States are not at the top, the Trojans' strength lies in their outstanding average strength. The first singles to the fourth singles are relatively average, and the gap is not big. Coupled with the doubles that ranks among the top in the United States, the overall comprehensive strength is indeed
It has the level to reach the top and win the championship.
So, what about this time?
Gawain was slightly excited.
On the one hand, it’s because he debuted as the No. 1 singles for the first time. Even if he is just playing the role of a surprise player, this point may even be lost in Martin’s overall plan; on the other hand, it is because this time he can cooperate with his teammates.
Advance or retreat, face victory or defeat together.
The most important thing is that starting from today, everything is brand new. Different from the previous life, he will start a new journey, which also means that everything can be rewritten, so——
Although they lost to the Trojans in the last life, this time, they started from scratch.
call……
Gao Wen also raised his hands high and joined his teammates to cheer for the doubles match.
"Up! Brown bear! Up!"
However……
"Wow!"
"It was a very intense and very close game. Both sides gave us a wonderful doubles match. The suspense was maintained until the last point. In the end, the Trojans won the doubles points and took the lead in the city derby."
Doubles points, this is the third time this season that they have lost points, and now doubles is generally regarded as the Bruins' weakest link.
But that's not the case in this game.
In the first two doubles duels, both sides won one game each, and the final score of both games was "6:4", which was consistent, which was an advantage of breaking serve; then the top doubles duel between the two sides was entangled to the end.
, had to decide the winner through a tie-break, and the small points were kept chasing each other all the way to "12:10" before the game ended.
Both teams got match points but also wasted them. They fought hand to hand with each other until the very end.
I have to say that the same city derby is indeed different. Every player grits his teeth and persists until the last bit of blood is burned out.
When the outcome reaches this stage, there is nothing more to say. Even if they lose, they can leave the field with their heads held high.
But no matter what, the final doubles points were still collected by the University of Southern California, taking the lead in the away game with "0:1".
"This situation seems familiar."
Sofar couldn't help but let out a low chuckle.
"Three days ago against the Sooners, the Bruins lost the first doubles point, and then unfortunately lost the first singles game. In the blink of an eye, they were already in a '0:2' predicament. The game was indeed very thrilling and very difficult.
"
"But I don't know if the Bruins will fall into the same predicament again today. The player who is about to appear on behalf of the Bruins is the freshman young player Gao Wen. He is about to face the Trojans' top singles senior player Saramento. For
For Gawain, this is a very, very difficult matchup."
"The most interesting thing is that Bruins coach Martin arranged this number one singles matchup in the first game instead of the last game."
"Judging from this move, this should be a performance of Martin's confidence; however, after losing the doubles points, if they lose this singles match again, the Bruins will be in trouble. Is Martin's arrangement brave or impulsive?
, we can only judge through the competition."
"The pressure is now on the players on both sides."
In just a few words, Sofal completed a simple sequence. It can be seen from his words that he focused slightly on the Bruins, the currently weak team——
The reason is simple. As a neutral commentator, he naturally hopes that the game will be more intense and exciting, and he will inevitably cheer for the weak side; if the Bruins reverse the situation, then Sofal will not hesitate to cheer for the Trojans. Looking forward to it.
Let the subsequent games continue to be exciting.
In fact, even if Sofar did not continue to "add fuel to the fire", the atmosphere at the scene was already warm enough.
The Trojans, who were playing away from home, were playing host to the away team, and the loud cheers and shouts roared throughout the stadium, as if they had won the entire game.
The Bruins, who were sitting at home, were not to be outdone and pushed back hard. A uniform cheer swept the audience, cheering for Gao Wen who was about to appear. You could even see many people couldn't hold back their excitement and stood up directly, looking forward to it.
Gawain was able to work wonders for the second consecutive game.
After the interlude, Sofal turned to look at his commentary partner beside him, "Pete, what do you think?"
