Chapter 177 Troika

The focus battle is indeed the focus battle.

In just one week, Gawain defeated Kerbert twice and beat him so hard that he lost his temper. I'm afraid this psychological shadow will haunt Kerbert for a very long time.

And Gawain was completely unaware that a legend about a ruthless demon who destroyed flowers was spreading in Athens, and the legend was becoming more and more outrageous and exaggerated.

At this point, the first round of men's singles matches has ended.

There is no doubt that UCLA has become the brightest star, with players including Gillon, Gauvin and MacDonald all advancing successfully, once again demonstrating the strong overall strength of the Bruins this season.

After also going through a fierce team competition, the Trojans also had four players participate in the singles competition, but their performance was mediocre with one win and three losses in the first round; while the Bruins continued their strong performance in the team competition, with three wins and one loss, surpassing their city rivals.

Especially on the first day of the game, which was full of upsets, the stability and strength of the Bruins became increasingly prominent. In an instant, they stood out and became the favorite to win the championship.

According to the draw, Thompson and Gawain are in the lower half, while Giron and McDonald are in the upper half. Now that Thompson is out, there is still a theoretical possibility that the Bruins will meet in the final and take the championship and runner-up.

So, will UCLA, which just made history in the team competition, continue to dominate the individual events? With the momentum of the U.S. team championship, the three horses of the Bruins naturally became the "target" of all players -

Everyone wants to win the championship! At the same time, everyone also wants to beat the Bruins!

After all, compared to the collective advantages of team competitions, it is often easier to create miracles and upsets in individual competitions, and all it takes is one game.

All eyes were focused on the three main players of the Brown Bears team. The pressure was also rising. It was obvious that the air in Athens seemed to have undergone a subtle change.

On the way to the training ground or the restaurant, they can clearly feel that the eyes coming and going are looking at them, revealing a meaningful look.

Those gazes transmitted through the air, full of challenging momentum and high morale, seemed that everyone was looking forward to defeating the Bruins to prove themselves and win their own spotlight on the stage of the US Championship. All the layers of gazes gathered together.

The official website of ESPN even published an article stating that after arriving in Athens, UCLA's singles players were always strong until Thompson's upset loss to Sid, which broke their unbeaten record. This season, the Bruins' collective advantage in singles competitions is far ahead of all their competitors, making them a standout.

So, who can become the second warrior to slay the dragon after Sid?

It’s fine if you don’t say it, but once you say it, it will explode.

The NCAA arena is full of young and energetic teenagers with a strong desire to win and a firm spirit of challenge. Seeing ESPN praising the Bruins in this way, they are naturally eager to give it a try. Everyone wants to become a superhero who slays the dragon.

Boom! Boom boom boom! Objectively speaking, McDonald's draw is relatively less dangerous, because the first round of the game is the biggest crisis, and after overcoming the difficulties, it will be a smooth road; while the draws of Geelong and Govan are slightly tougher, especially Geelong, which will face tough battles in almost every game and will face severe challenges in the second round.

Ryan Shawn of the University of Virginia.

The two universities had faced off against each other before during the regular season, and the game was evenly matched - and, according to historical trajectory, Sean would become the U.S. singles champion the following year, which shows that he now has a strong impact and great potential to defeat any opponent.

really!

Jilong went through a tough battle and fought hard for three sets. In the end, he defeated Sean with the advantage of a break of serve in the deciding set and advanced to the third round.

As for Gao Wen, he will face the challenge of Dane Webber from the University of Oklahoma.

Needless to say, as opponents in the team competition semi-finals, Gawain and Webber already know each other very well. What's more, Gawain emerged out of nowhere in the game against the University of Oklahoma. Although they have never played against each other, they can feel the sparks without words.

Weber, Oklahoma’s No. 4 singles player, ranked in the mid-forties, made the singles roster with a low-flying berth.

But don't forget that he is a player with a hot temper. Once he gets into shape and plays like crazy, he can hit any magical shot. His full-power attack is successful no matter how he plays. In that regular season matchup, Webber made Bremer lose his temper.

Following Kerbert, Gao Wen faced a power player for the second consecutive round. The two players were also power players, but there were slight differences in their styles, so the match was not easy.

In the team semi-finals, Webber didn’t even get a chance to play. Now that he was standing in front of the Bruins again and had a chance for revenge, how could Webber miss it?

From the beginning, Weber was particularly active and in great shape. His offensive touch was like a cannon. He had the power he wanted, the landing point he wanted, the angle he wanted... He launched a barrage of attacks covering the entire court. No matter how Gawain changed his batting rhythm, Weber could just raise his hands to attack, playing the style of tennis that Kerbert longed to achieve in the previous round but was never able to accomplish.

and!

Every time he scored, Webber would clench his fist and shout to cheer himself up, because he knew he needed to get into the right position and put himself in a low profile to attack Gawain; at the same time, he also knew he needed to suppress Gawain in the battle of momentum and absolutely could not give this dangerous opponent even a little breathing space.

“Come-on!”

Webber continued to roar, showing the style of "Australian Hare" Lleyton Hewitt.

In fact, "Come-On", strictly speaking, does not accurately mean "Come on". Moreover, tennis is a gentleman's sport, and very few players shout on the court - not only is swearing prohibited, but loud noises are often considered impolite.

It was not until after the millennium that Australian player Hewitt emerged. This player became famous at a young age. Although he lacked serve or forehand as heavy weapons, his full-court defense earned him the nickname "Australian Hare". At the same time, tenacious fighting spirit and fighting will were also his hallmarks.

"Come-On" is a cheering slogan that Hewitt promoted and promoted, constantly encouraging and motivating himself to unleash his potential.

In the beginning, many people complained and ridiculed Hewitt's slogan, but times are progressing and tennis is progressing. Gradually, this has evolved into a label for Hewitt and is becoming more and more widely accepted by people.

Today, Webber showed Hewitt's daring and powerful playing style, and his passionate cheers won countless whistles and applause from the audience.

“3:0”.

Right from the start, Weber broke through and defended the opponent's opponent with great momentum, making Gawain extremely embarrassed. He really hadn't encountered such an embarrassing situation for a long time.

Second update.
