California Polytechnic State University, an NCAA Division II team, has 11 wins and 13 losses in the season. It is difficult for either the overall strength or the strongest player to create a threat.
Faced with such an opponent, the Bruins, the favorites to win the championship, simply defeated their opponent "4:0" and ushered in a good start to the National Championship with a complete victory.
Judging from the results, all four games were won without giving any chance to the opponent; but from the process, the top seed still seemed a bit slow.
Doubles, smooth sailing.
Gao Wen was remarkable - he only allowed his opponent three games in two sets and won a quick victory in forty-three minutes.
The problem lies with the two players Thompson and Giron. Their status is still adjusting, and both of them unexpectedly lost a set; but fortunately, the opponent's impact was limited, and they quickly gained a foothold, both with Win in three sets.
As the absolute main force, Thompson and Giron played full attendance during the season, and often played important roles in the charge. After a long season of training and testing, their physical strength and energy were under double pressure. How to adjust their state to meet the challenge of the crazy May color, indeed is a difficult problem.
However, despite the fluctuations in status, they still won in the end. This is the most important thing; more importantly, this is only the first round and they still have time.
"...Gawain is indeed in good condition..."
"I think the most rare thing about Gao Wen is his ability to control the situation. He can withstand the pressure no matter what the game is. Not only has he maintained a winning record so far this season, but he is also always brave and determined enough to score key points in key games..."
"Yes, yes, the last time we played against the Trojans, Gao Wen played against Salamento. That game was really classic..."
Chirping and bustling.

"Gawain performed really well today." Cautiously, Gu Xiao said -
Surrounded by all the strange faces he met for the first time, no one even spoke to him, and he was not sure whether his words were appropriate.
Then I saw faces showing smiles.
"certainly!"
"It's more than good, it's perfect."
"I think it's okay for Gao Wen to serve as the first single. He is more suitable for dealing with tricky situations than Giron."
"I am now looking forward to Gao Wen's singles performance in the United States Championship, haha."
"It's definitely worth looking forward to."
Gu Xiao just said a word, and then received so many responses. He could clearly feel the friendliness and enthusiasm coming from all directions. This was something he had never felt in the four years of college life. Gu Xiao had always been a lone ranger. It seems that for the first time, I feel that there are other aspects of college life.
Just by saying "Go! Brown Bear! Go" or "Gowen", you can easily close the distance and feel close and warm in an instant.
Then, the scene of everyone on the court cheering and cheering came to mind. All the strangers were firmly united because of a game, and Gu Xiao seemed to be able to understand.
After thinking about it, Gu Xiao asked a question, "What exactly is May Crazy?"
"Oh man, haven't you been to that?"
"It's okay, it's okay, you can join us this year."

Athens, Georgia.
The Athens mentioned here is not Athens, Greece, but a small city located in Georgia, in the southern part of the North American continent, also named Athens.
In Georgia, the most famous city is undoubtedly Atlanta.
It was once the center of the civil rights movement and hosted the Summer Olympics. At the same time, it is also one of the favorite cities for wealthy people in North America. Its pleasant climate, comfortable environment and abundant entrepreneurial opportunities make this city carry history. Weight while also radiating youthful vitality.
Of course, thanks to the Georgia government’s tax incentives, countless Hollywood movies have also chosen to shoot here, such as “Avengers” and “The Walking Dead.”
Athens is located less than an hour's drive northeast of Atlanta. It has preserved the ancient history of this land. It was the earliest settlement of Indians and is still one of the most important settlements of Indians. .
Just like Athens, Greece, the soil and buildings here record the various traces left by time, reminding people not to forget history.
Although it is a small city, Athens has always been the most loyal partner of the NCAA.
It is known as the city of private schools. Although it is small, it has three public high schools, eight private middle schools and six public/private universities. To this day, there are still traditional aristocratic families who continuously send their children here to receive private education.
It is precisely because the NCAA has had many cooperations with Athens in its early years, and Athens' participation can be seen in every reform.
In 1977, the NCAA officially adjusted and gradually formed the current competition system. In the first thirteen years, all the U.S. Championships were held in Athens. Later, after adjustments, they left Athens to be held in other cities every three years, and then they were abolished. Under this rule, applications are open for every year's competition and competition is fair.
But despite this, Athens is still the most mature venue, and the U.S. Championship still favors this city. This year is the third time in the past five years that it has come to Athens.
