Dreams are never that simple, and can even be said to be stupid. People who believe in dreams often encounter cruel blows and grindings from reality, and in the end, like Don Quixote, they go crazy and fall into madness.
But do dreams really not exist? Are dreams really unattainable?
Maybe, maybe not.
The only thing that is certain is that if you don’t believe in your dreams, then your dreams will never come true; similarly, if you refuse to believe in miracles, then miracles will always be a legend in fairy tales, just like in competitive sports. If you don't believe that you can defeat your opponent, then the battle will have been completely lost before it goes on the stage.
"I want to believe that, like Rudy, it doesn't matter if he's thought of as a fool."
Gawain, that's what he thinks.
Staring at his friend, Macdonald still didn't seem to understand, but he seemed to understand something. A golden sunshine-like warmth flowed in his heart, bathing in the starry sky and underground, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose slightly, vaguely deep in his heart. It seems to have become firmer.
Involuntarily, Macdonald nodded slightly, not because he understood, but because he was sure, and then said with a smile.
"Very good, then let us continue to play the role of training the big devil and torture those guys."
MacDonald also clenched his fists heavily, and his honest and honest tone did not sound like a joke at all, but revealed a sense of sincerity.
This made Gawain laugh heartily, "Hahaha." He clenched his fists and shouted in a low voice, "Big Devil! Big Devil!"
MacDonald also showed a reserved smile, scratched his head, and chuckled twice, "hehe". Then the two of them supported the ground of the court with their hands, leaned back slightly, and looked up at the stars.
The small town of Norman, far away from the big city, has no high-rise buildings and no smog exhaust. The deep and vast sky is clearly displayed in front of you.
Breathtakingly beautiful.
"Tell me, how will they arrange their troops tomorrow?" It was McDonald who broke the silence first, and the topic shifted to tomorrow's upcoming game.
Gao Wen lightly shrugged, "This is what the coaches need to worry about, but I think they should stay the same to cope with the changes. After all, they are not falling behind at all in a head-on confrontation. There is no need. Get out of our way.”
If the historical trajectory has not changed, the University of Oklahoma Sooners have indeed not changed their lineup, and the singles rankings will be laid out according to the current rankings.
Because they do have the qualifications to challenge the Bruins.
Since the opening of the season in the spring of 2014, the Sooners have also started with a wave of eight consecutive victories and are currently one of the four teams that still maintain an undefeated record. However, due to their weak opponents, their national ranking is not high. Currently It was only seventh, not in the top five.
However, in the team competition, the gap between No. 1 and No. 10 is not as big as the ranking numbers seem. In the final analysis, it still depends on the formation and on-the-spot performance. There are many factors that affect the outcome.
Before the start of the season, UCLA and the University of Oklahoma were already the favorites to compete for the championship. Among the competitors that Martin deliberately warned to pay close attention to, the University of Oklahoma was included.
Currently, the Sooners have four generals, and their singles rankings are second, fourth, 28th, and 46th. In other words, if they are still ranked like this at the end of the season, they will automatically win the championship. The singles qualifications for the United States Championship are currently the top players.
Correspondingly, the current singles rankings of the Bruins' four main players in the United States are almost the same, No. 1, No. 5, No. 26, and No. 51.
According to the top four singles rankings, every game is a close-quarters fight with red bayonets. The victory or defeat is decided by a hair's breadth. No one can win easily.
Assuming that the balance of victory and defeat continues to be stalemate, and the first four singles cannot determine the outcome, the performance of the fifth and sixth singles will be crucial——
In previous years, this was also a shortcoming of the Bruins. Last year's national championship game against the Forbidden City is still vivid in my mind. After the team's lineup has been adjusted this year, it will face another challenge, even more so than that game at the University of Georgia. The hardships are also more intense.
Because against the University of Georgia, the Bruins are at home, and the order of the matchup is in their hands; but against the University of Oklahoma, the Bruins are on the road, and the opponent has the initiative, and a slight advantage may create turmoil on the court.
The real test has come.
It was already late at night, but the lights in the hotel room where the visiting team stayed were not all turned off.
Billy Martin is having a hard time.
In fact, there is no need to adjust the top four singles positions, because the outcome of every game is very close, and the outcome is determined by real-life confrontation. The Sooners are not afraid of the Bruins, but similarly, the Bruins are not afraid of the Sooners either. Team, whoever can have the last laugh will see the real results on the court.
If you rashly adjust the order of appearance, you may disrupt your own layout and get into unnecessary entanglements; and Tian Ji's horse racing strategy may not necessarily be effective here. If you don't pay attention, you will shoot yourself in the foot. .
If everything goes well, it is not impossible to win all four singles matches and win the game directly, but it is unlikely, and you need to be prepared for both, then——
What really needs to be considered is the fifth and sixth games.
Objectively speaking, Di Giulio's overall condition is mediocre.
In the season so far, the Bruins have been advancing all the way without encountering a really strong impact. Naturally, the fifth singles and the sixth singles have no chance to express themselves at critical moments.
The only game was against the University of Georgia. At that time, DiGiulio lost the duel and Gao Wen easily won the game.
However, the Bruins were at home in that game, and Martin put a lot of thought into arranging the field. The real key decisive battle was in Geelong. Neither Di Giulio nor Gao Wen faced the real life-or-death pressure test, so The outcome of victory or defeat cannot be judged simply.
It would be unfair to discuss who is better between Di Giulio and Gao Wen just based on the outcome of a game.
Of course, as the head coach, Martin has a clear view of the players' status and growth, as well as the quality and performance of practice, and it's not just a game.
Since the winter training, Gao Wen has indeed entered a period of rapid growth. As the sixth singles player, he has basically won a sweep against other teams' sixth singles players. Even in the unfinished games, the advantage is particularly obvious. The entire ball The road, ball quality, and golf quotient are all gradually showing more potential.
Moreover, the growth rate is beyond imagination. Even if Martin is witnessing it all the way, he is still surprised - but this is the fun of cultivating teenagers. This period should be a period of full-scale explosion for Gao Wen, who has accumulated a lot of experience. It really makes the coach I felt a sense of achievement and satisfaction.
If it weren't for the schedule, and there aren't many opportunities to perform so far, how could it be possible that Gao Wen still doesn't have a national ranking?
