In fact, there are no direct physical conflicts in tennis matches, and the smell of gunpowder is not strong. It is often not as good as the head-on collision sports such as football and basketball, let alone the hot conflict sports such as ice hockey. After all, overt and covert, even if Even if they want to stumble their opponents, they can't.
If you look at the interviews of the Bruins or Trojans against other teams, there is nothing special except for some teenage mentality. But if the Bruins and Trojans meet, the strong smell of gunpowder can make the game tense.
Only then can we truly understand the meaning of the mortal enemy in the same city.
Here, Saramento is sharpening his skills, "I'm ready. No matter what opponent I face, I have the confidence to defeat them."
"Including Gawain?"
Faced with the reporter's provocation, Saramento eagerly said, "Especially Gao Wen, I am very much looking forward to playing against him again." Strong confidence was revealed in his words.
On the other side, Giron fired back in a arrogant tone, "Trojans are Trojans. They don't do anything except brag. They just pray devoutly that God can help them."
It was implied both inside and outside the words that the Trojans' late-season victory over the Bruins was all a matter of luck.
"And we won't say much, just keep our feet on the ground and prepare for the game."
You can feel Jilong's contempt from top to bottom in his contemptuous tone.
Here, Hanfman is looking forward to a strong duel. “Yes, I want to meet Gao Wen again to break the halo that hangs over his head. I think he is just an average player. It’s just a little bit of cleverness, and all the halo we have now is just blown bubbles.”
As for losing to Gao Wen in two tie-breaks last time
"Accident."
Hanfman thinks so.
"It was an accident caused by me being too underestimating the enemy, but it won't happen this time."
On the other side, Gawain's response was an understatement, "Accident? Oh...if he said it was an accident, then so be it."
Um? that's all? What kind of response is this?
"A wise man once said that anyone who blames failure on accidents and refuses to face it calmly is an idiot."
Which wise man is here?
"Gawain."
This bickering was really lively. The young and energetic teenagers refused to give in to each other. In the two meetings in the regular season, both sides won one game at their home court, and every game was a hairline difference. The balance of victory and defeat was It seems possible to switch positions at any time, which also makes the third meeting of the season full of more variables.
Buzz buzz.
Buzz buzz.
There was no need for the media to fan the flames. The heat wave of the Los Angeles derby had already spread. The second meeting in just one week only added to the smell of gunpowder, bringing a touch of summer fever to California in early spring.
Even the two head coaches rarely did Tai Chi, and their tit-for-tat postures made the air completely tense.
Coach Smith said, “We have everything it takes to win.”
Coach Martin said, "We will go home with a championship for the second consecutive year."
Determined to win, never give in!
It is foreseeable that a strong showdown is about to take place.
This year, the Pac-12 championship game was held in the small town of Ojai, California, more than 120 kilometers northwest of Los Angeles.
This place was once famous for its orange production, but with the development of transportation and the process of globalization, oranges seem to be nothing new, and gradually no one mentions them. Instead, they are famous all over the world because of the "Oak Forest School" It has gained a great reputation and become a new destination.
"Oak Grove School" was founded by Jiddukrishnamurti in 1975. This spiritual master attained enlightenment, settled down, grew old, and died here. He founded this school by himself and attracted countless admirers to come here. Make a pilgrimage to find peace of mind.
Arriving in Ohai, far away from the bustle and hustle and bustle of the city, you can feel the tranquility of a paradise. You can also see many people wearing loose burqas or linen trousers as they come and go, looking like they are indifferent to the world. Looks like, finding peace in the corner of the world.
The final was held in a park, surrounded by green shade and the fragrance of flowers. The chirping of birds and the sound of lake water could faintly pass through it. It seemed that even the golden sunshine had lost some of its heat and intensity and was falling lightly. Down, enough to calm all the noise.
However, this is just an illusion. When the horn of the local derby is blown, the smell of gunpowder smoke fills the air again.
In the pre-match draw, the Bruins were drawn as the home team, which also meant that Martin had the initiative in formation.
This season, in the two derby clashes in the same city, both teams won at home. In addition to the cheering of the home audience, the head coach's layout also played an important role. It is precisely because of this that neither team is convinced by the other, and each other Everyone thinks that their victory is justifiable.
Now, the Bruins have drawn the home team again, and UCLA is in jubilation, as if one hand has touched the championship trophy.
However, the Trojans showed no signs of weakness and fought back confidently one by one.
"Let's break the home court curse."
"We're going to win this game and convince that stupid bear."
"If they win this time, they will have no excuses anymore."
"The Trojans must win! We can win on the road, which proves that we deserve it."
"Look, they are all celebrating their home game. You can tell from one glance that they are worried about not winning in the away game."
"We don't need home field advantage to win."
The momentum was overwhelming and overwhelming.
Facing the difficulties on the road, the Trojans became more and more united and prepared for the last game in the league.
However, words are words, and the coaches of both sides understand that formation is more important than home field advantage. The overall strength of both sides is evenly divided, and the victory or defeat is within a hair's breadth, so the importance of the matchup list is highlighted. , this is the key to breaking the balance of victory and defeat.
Although the Bruins have taken the initiative, the two coaches’ calculations and layout at the tactical level have just begun.
First round, "Martin vs. Smith"! Officially staged!
When the final lineup and the order of appearance came out, the media was in an uproar. It has to be said that both coaches are foxes. The game of calculation and counter-calculation made people applaud.
There were not many surprises in the doubles showdown, and the focus was still on the singles showdown.

There are some familiar faces and some unfamiliar faces; there are some expected duels and some unexpected ones.
Both coaches are speculating on the opponent's tactical layout, and at the same time making adjustments according to their own conditions. The final matchup table looks like this. There are many twists and turns, but the calculations and layout before the game are all wisdom. Competition, in the final analysis, competitive sports still have to see the real results!
