Martin definitely didn't mean to spoil the seedlings. He chose Gao Wen to be the first single because Gao Wen's psychological quality could withstand such pressure; at the same time, it was also because this was the most risky but most subtle move in the comparison of strength between the two sides.
Since he is going to disrupt the opponent's plan, then there will be a big rebellion, which will completely disturb the water in the pool, and completely break the judgment and expectations of the opponent; the most important thing is that Martin assigned Gawain to shoulder a heavy responsibility, and it was not blindly disrupting without a plan—
The USC Trojans had Ray-Sarmiento in the first single and Yannick-Hanfmann in the second.
The two players have very different styles. Saramento is also an Asian mixed race. He is not tall, but his defensive ability is particularly outstanding, covering the entire court, and he has a particularly good sense of the ball. The quality of defense is very good. Last year, the national ranking was still outside the 50s. , has soared to seventh place this year.
Hanfman is a student from Germany. He is tall and powerful, but he grew up training on clay courts, so his skills are not monotonous. He has a lot of techniques and tricks on both offensive and defensive ends. Last year, he was ranked 30th in the United States. Around the first place, this year has also reached the twelfth place.
It can be seen that Saramento and Hanfman are both in the period of rapid growth, and they are not inferior to Thompson, Geelong and others. Although the national rankings may be higher, the overall strength comparison is almost the same. , Compete against each other.
Last season, Saramento was the fourth singles player of the Trojans. As a result, he was repeatedly promoted to the second singles position and the first singles position. Attacking players are prone to mistakes in consecutive offenses, especially young players who lack offensive stability.
Saramento and Giron played against each other three times last year, with two wins and one loss; they met Thompson once and ended in victory.
Hanfman was already a frequent visitor to the second singles and third singles last season. His offensive and skillful style of play is indeed very competitive. Although he has no record of playing against Thompson, he faced the Bruins who have graduated. Last year's number one singles Dennis-Novikov (Dennis-Novikov) did not lose the wind at all; he even won three consecutive victories against Geelong.
That said, it's also a tough opponent.
This year, both Saramento and Hanfman continue to grow, and I am afraid it will be even more difficult.
In terms of tactical style, Thompson faced Sacramento, and there were many variables in the attacking style of the game, because Thompson would be more difficult because of the opposing style of play. Of course, the specific performance still depends on the on-the-spot performance.
Similarly, Geelong is also a hard hand against Hanfmann. From a purely theoretical analysis, it is also a disadvantage. I am afraid that Geelong needs to explode into a small universe.
Compared with the ranking numbers, the style is the most deadly.
In Martin's original plan, he actually hoped that Geelong would play against Sacramento, and Thompson would play against Huffman. In this way, both games could return to balance-but the question is, will the Trojans obediently remain unchanged?
Moreover, the formation of Thompson and Giron's exchange of positions was too simple, lacking in changes, and it was easy to be caught by the Trojans.
Only then did Martin think of Gawain.
Gao Wen's style of play has an advantage against Sacramento; against Hanfman, he can fight hard—now in the team's mini duel, Gao Wen's performance is getting better and better when facing a powerful player like Thompson. Well, it is no longer the one-sided appearance before, and there are many ways.
If Gawain advances to the first singles against Sacramento, then Thompson will face Huffman, and Giron will face the Trojans' third singles, Roberto-Quiroz—
In other words, in the most ideal state, use Gao Wen to fight against the Trojans' first singles in Saramento, and at the same time, they can have an advantage in the second and third singles, and the problem of forming troops suddenly becomes easier.
Even if the Trojans change, Martin's coup will bring more changes. Among the top three singles, no matter which player Gawain faces, the Bruins can take more initiative in close combat. .
"Gao Wen served as the first single", maybe this can be a wonderful move to completely reverse the situation - of course, like Cowell, it is also possible to be clever and be mistaken by cleverness. After repeated thinking, Martin made such a decision .
But deep down, Martin was still a little uneasy. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for Gao Wen and the Bruins.
Why didn't Martin know about Grant's worries?
However, Martin has a slightly different personality. Now that he has made a decision, he will go forward. As for the result, no matter what the situation is, he will face it calmly.
The Bruins team is ushering in a new atmosphere because of Martin's bold adventure; at the same time, the Trojans team is no exception.
"Hey Ray!"
When Saramento arrived at the training ground according to the schedule, a small group of reporters gathered at the door, not many, just three of them~www.mtlnovel.com~Compared with the attention the football team receives, it’s just like sprinkled water However, the three reporters all swarmed forward and surrounded Saramento with ease.
"Ray, now everyone is discussing the freshman Gao of the Bruins. In the next game, maybe he will appear as a surprise soldier. What do you think?"
Saramento showed a polite smile, "Sorry, we have been concentrating on training. The news of other teams is not what we need to care about. As long as we focus on ourselves, we are confident to win any game."
A short sentence can tell Saramento's emotional intelligence. The Bruins were not mentioned in the whole process, but the disregard for the opponent can be conveyed between the lines.
As a student of the University of Southern California, questions from rivals in the same city are always the hottest focus. Saramento has experienced it many times last year, and now it is much easier to face it again, even if it is a reporter who would never appear at all. , and did not disturb his position.
The reporter immediately asked, "You mean, haven't you heard of Gao?"
Saramento didn't answer, just smiled, "I want to focus on myself." Then he pushed the reporter away and walked straight into the training ground.
The three reporters exchanged glances with each other, unable to hide their excitement, the headlines of the news came out—
"Saramento: I don't know Gao."
This piece of news is enough to further push the atmosphere of the duel between rivals in the same city to a peak. I am afraid that this time the Los Angeles Derby should have a good show.
Saramento is serious. His goal is the national championship game, and he is a professional player. NCAA is definitely not his end. He has loftier ideals and goals, and he has no time to pay attention to the endless but fleeting "geniuses" .
