Chapter 196: Opening of the decisive battle

"Ho **** ho, brown bear brown bear brown bear brown bear."

"Ho **** ho, brown bear! Brown bear! Brown bear!"

"Hohohoho! Brown...bear! Hehehe!"

The teammates of the Bruins surrounded Gao Wen and Jilong in a bustling manner, shouting rhythm and rhythm loudly, roaring like a battle song, cheering for the two teammates.

Then, turning around and leaving like a tide, Macdonald gave Gawain a final hug, patted Gawain's back heavily, and he could feel Macdonald's heart beating through his chest, even Even more nervous than Gao Wen, he turned around and followed his teammates to the audience stands, ready to watch the decisive battle.

In a blink of an eye, the locker room became quiet again, and one could vaguely feel the residual hustle and bustle gradually settling down, making the silence even harsher. Only then did they notice that only Gao Wen and Ji Long were left in the entire space.

Before the start of the spring season, no one could have predicted the direction and ending of the season, including Gao Wen and Jilong themselves, who did not expect that the two of them would actually meet in the official competition this season.

Although in the daily training, the two played a lot of mini duels. Gao Wen went from winning more and losing more at the beginning to winning more and losing less later. The whole team could feel Gao Wen's progress; but Practice matches and official competitions are two different things, 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 actually against Geelong.

After experiencing ups and downs throughout the long season, this time, they are no longer teammates fighting side by side, but opponents standing across the net.

Ji Long looked at Gao Wen with mixed expressions, it was difficult to sum it up in a few words.

Hate? of course not.

jealous? Nor is it.

Perhaps, more or less, there are some rivalries. Geelong has some pride to protect, and at the same time hopes to prove himself on the court.

Then, Ji Long saw Gao Wen walking over on his own initiative, with a bright smile on his face, and said openly.

"I wish the side that played better wins."

Jilong looked at Gao Wen's outstretched right hand. His tall and straight figure and bright eyes conveyed strong confidence. He stood upright in front of him and challenged him. In just a few months, that energetic and proactive freshman had already Completed the transformation and came to the current position.

It seems like a lifetime away.

Therefore, Ji Long also straightened his waist, stretched out his right hand with his head held high, and solemnly held Gawain's right hand.

"The side that plays well wins!"

Loudly!

A handshake, a smile, from a teammate to an opponent, start a duel!

Then they both let go of their right hands, returned to their corners, and waited for their debut.

gurgling!

gurgling!

Athens at the end of May can already be deeply immersed in the hustle and bustle of summer. The cheers and roars of the audience set the air ablaze. In the midst of all the attention, the final opponents appeared one after the other, and the heart couldn't help but follow. tense up.

"Seed VS dark horse", who can have the last laugh?

Is the "Little Prince" Giron defending his throne? Or "King of the Dark Horse" Gawain snatching the crown in one go?

Jilong and Gao Wen, they both have their own battles to fight, they both need to prove themselves, they are both eager 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 succeeded in guessing, and he was about to lose the right to serve.

"From the start, we were able to see Giron's determination."

"According to the usual habit, Jilong often likes to receive the serve first, but he also knows Gao Wen's game style. He likes to start the first three games, so Jilong changed his tactics and chose to serve first, which also showed his determination. , I am determined to win this game."

In the live broadcast room, Sofar is still in charge, and this is also the last NCAA game he explained this season.

When the long journey is about to reach the end, the emotions are undoubtedly mixed, but seeing Gawain and Geelong on the court, the most watched talent of the season against the most unexpected dark horse of the season, and they are still from the same team. The two teammates whose main positions have changed, this is definitely the best match of the season, joy and happiness are filling the whole chest again——

What could be more perfect than such a way to end the 2013-2014 season?

The game has begun.

But from the beginning, you can feel that the game is different after all.

On the one hand, the atmosphere of the finals is really different. There are obviously more live cameras, and the audience is obviously more restless. Every point makes harsh noises. Coupled with the championship competition that determines the outcome of the first battle, it seems that even the air has changed. Get tense, a little spark could detonate the scene.

On the other hand, the opponents know everything about each other, and they are very familiar teammates in normal training, but today they stand opposite each other as opponents. The teammates who are obviously the most familiar are so strange, and the whole team feels different naturally.

To put it simply, there are certain tactics and shots that are not used in practice games. Even if they are used, the atmosphere and feeling are different.

Moreover, in the previous singles matches, Martin would analyze the opponent's strength and situation for the players, and help to formulate tactics, but this was not the case in the finals. The coach retreated to the second line and kept an objective attitude. All tactics needed to be pondered by the players themselves.

This is the first time that Gao Wen and Jilong have faced each other 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 Jilong were more or less cautious in the opening stage. The competition lacked bright spots, and the process was a bit flat.

"2:1".

The two players each successfully held their serve, and then Giron, who served first, took the lead and entered the first 90-second break.

Ninety seconds, it seemed that it was over after only two sips of water, and the game continued.

When the two players stepped onto the court again, it was Gao Wen's serve.

Geelong, take the lead.

At this time, the gap in game experience can still be seen.

Looking at the entire season, Gao Wen's sophistication and wisdom have been recognized by many. His control of rhythm control, opportunity grasping, imposing pressure and other links can make people shine, but the game experience is still an irreparable shortcoming. It was exposed on the final stage~lightnovelpub.net~ After a short trial, Jilong's bottom line strength was revealed. His hitting was not a sudden force or a sudden increase in speed, but a change in the line layout—also That is to say, while the rhythm of the shot remains the same, the line and placement are suddenly changed, and it is very stealthy.

Facing the clever Gao Wen, Jilong relied on his strong bottom line to cover and took a step ahead at the level of tactical combination. This is the experience advantage.

Moreover, because Jilong'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 serving game alone, Geelong had already tricked Gao Wen twice by hitting the return ball and successfully scored. This also forced Gao Wen to rethink Geelong's hitting line, and through his own hitting combination To suppress Geelong's line change.

But in a serving game, that is, four points, changes rapidly, and if you are a little slow, you will not be able to keep up with the changes.

In a blink of an eye, Giron has already taken the lead in getting the break point.

"30:40".
