Match point

Chapter 122
In the last week of April, the Pac-[-] championship game came to an end. The UCLA Bruins successfully won the intra-city derby and defended the title. After the game, major news media also reported on it.

Layouts, big and small.

The title is full of tricks.

Among them, the report of the "Los Angeles Times" is the most sincere - no matter what, this is a Los Angeles city derby, and they naturally need to show some face.

"The Bruins successfully defended—

Freshmen dominate the game. "

Among the reports, the "Los Angeles Times" believes that the two freshmen, Gao Wen and McDonald, are well-deserved key cores.

The former defeated Saramento, the most powerful player of the Trojans, and his impeccable performance allowed the Bruins to seize the opportunity; the latter gave a head-on blow when the opponent's counterattack was rising, and ended the battle before the game fell into a further stalemate.

The most surprising thing is that Geelong and Thompson both lost, and the Bruins relied on the "weak link" to win. Last season, whether it was doubles or the fourth, fifth and sixth singles, the Bruins had indeed always been a shortcoming. , But this season, the Bruins have shown a new look.

Does this mean that the Bruins, who unfortunately missed the championship in the final of the National Championship last year, can go further this year?

That's what UCLA is hoping for, but they need to ask their competitors if they agree.

Obviously, in May Crazy, there will be great players from all over the United States on stage, which means that the competition will be more intense, but we don't know how the Bruins and Trojans will perform.

This is already the third time in just one month that the "Los Angeles Times" has reported on the Los Angeles City Derby, and it is the fourth time it has seen Gao Wen's name in the report——

It is worth mentioning that Gao Wen is also the only player in the Bruins this season who has maintained a complete victory. He can win as long as he plays, and he has played the key player many times.

Slowly, slowly, residents of California also became familiar with this name. Although the influence of NCAA tennis is still weak, but seeing this name over and over again, and each time followed by a series of praises, it is natural to Make an impression in your mind.

So, can this "Mr. Key" continue his magical performance and shine on the stage of the National Championships?
Gu Xiao is eating breakfast at Starbucks, thinking in his mind that he should go to the library to study later, there is still a presentation to be prepared next week, and there is also a group project that needs to prepare some materials. Thinking of so many things makes my head swell , waved his hand distractedly, as if he wanted to temporarily put aside distracting thoughts, and then focused on the "Los Angeles Times" on the desktop.

In fact, he didn't know what he was looking at, he just flipped through it to divert his attention, read the meaningless text word by word, and then noticed some strange names.

"Wen-Gao".

Are you sure it's not pinyin?Why does it look like the name of a sibling?
Gu Xiao's gaze moved up again, the thoughts in his mind were pulled back, he read it again carefully, and then faintly became interested.

Gao Wen, like him, is an international student, but he studies hard in the library day and night, making progress every day, and does not hear anything outside the window, while this classmate is sweating and making great achievements in the tennis court. Surprisingly, I didn't notice the news about the tennis team at all.

tennis?

Gu Xiao is indeed a bit unfamiliar. After thinking about it carefully, he has also heard of Zheng Jie, Yan Zi, Li Na, and Sun Tiantian, because they have created many good results in the Olympics, and Li Na won the Grand Slam champion at the beginning of this year. , but the words of male players have no impression.

So now you can see the names of their men's tennis players in the Los Angeles Times?Is this great?

As soon as he turned his gaze, Gu Xiao took advantage of the opportunity to search on his laptop computer. After browsing a few times, he unexpectedly found that this was not the first time Gao Wen was mentioned in the "Los Angeles Times". Based on his imagination, he then posted a post on the post bar.

"Excuse me, what is the level of the main force of the NCAA tennis championship? This year's main force of the UCLA championship is one of our compatriots."

Casually left a post without thinking too much about it, then Gu Xiao put it to the back of his mind, hurriedly finished his breakfast, and went to the library to study.

Gu Xiao didn't think about it until he was going to sleep at night, and reopened the post. He thought that no one would pay attention, but he didn't expect to get more than 100 replies in the blink of an eye——Li Na won the second seat at the beginning of the year. After the Grand Slam championship, the discussion of tennis in China has indeed reached a new level.

"NCAA? Is that amateur level?"

"What champion? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"The main force? Are you sure it is the main force? Not a bench player?"

"I haven't seen the domestic news at all, is it true?"

"Not at the level of a top player."

"The level is not worthy of attention, wait until it reaches Kei Nishikori's level and then pay attention to it."

After a cursory glance, most of them are as confused as he is. The NCAA has a very low mass base in China, and tennis is even more neglected. The voices of ridicule, questioning, and complaints are bustling. Obviously, no one can say Come up with a reason.

There is one netizen who is a little more professional.

"Semi-professional level. UCLA is an NCAA Division I league, and its strength is outstanding. Being able to occupy the main force of the team and win championships with the team is already very good and worthy of praise.

However, there is still a big gap between youth tennis and professional tennis, and the overall level of the NCAA is almost the same as that of youth competitions. The current performance does not guarantee that he will be good when he turns professional in the future. It can only be said that it is worthy of attention.

But to take a step back, domestic men's tennis is indeed too weak now, and young people should be encouraged to have good seedlings. So, who are you talking about? "

It turned out to be the case.

Gu Xiao raised his chin lightly, showing a clear expression, and then he replied to the post, "Gao Wen, it seems to be a freshman."

Unexpectedly, there will be a follow-up, and the reply will come soon.

"It's interesting. I just did a random survey. This is actually the first Chinese player who played the main role in the NCAA Division I and followed the team to win the championship! There really wasn't one before!"

"Gao Wen! I actually saw his photos and information on the official website of the UCLA Bruins, as well as photos of the team celebrating the championship together. Haha, when I suddenly saw such news, I couldn't help feeling a little bit Happy. Compared to women's tennis, we have so little attention in men's tennis."

"However, the NCAA league championship has limited gold content, and only the national championship has a little weight. No wonder there is no movement in the domestic media."

"By the way, Crazy May is coming soon. If you are interested, you can pay attention to it. Who knows, maybe there will be unexpected surprises?"

Gu Xiao was slightly taken aback, Crazy May?what is that?Carnival?

　Second more.
