As the players from both sides came on stage and shook hands one by one, the atmosphere gradually became heated. Before the first group of players came on the stage, the fans below were already holding loudspeakers and all kinds of support items and starting to compete crazily.
What was surprising was that the Black Spade Q Club fans, who were clearly the weaker side, actually had a clear upper hand, especially the loud voices in the lead, which silenced the Jiangcheng University Team cheerleaders.
In fact, this is understandable. After all, Spade Q is a standard geographical team. All players are locals of Northern Hubei Province, but Jiangcheng University Team does not have such "all-Hubei team" feelings. Therefore, none of the three players Fang Bo, Duan Changying, and Ma Angxing who appeared today are locals.
In fact, there is only one Northern Hubei Province player among Jiangcheng University Team, which is Luo Jiu. The one who attracts the most fans is Luo Jiu, but Luo Jiu is not playing today.
And Spade Q's most popular fan is undoubtedly Wang Chao, which has been shining brightly in the past six months.
Therefore, the fans at the scene who were still undecided about who to support suddenly had a clear preference.
Faced with the current situation, Jiangcheng University Team's head coach Xiao Guohua was inevitably a little depressed. He complained to Luo Jiu many times in his heart.
Luo Jiu, who simply did not come back to avoid suspicion, kept sneezing in the imperial capital national team training base, and started to have a runny nose while sneezing, which shocked himself. After all, China Open was going to catch a cold in a few days. You must not catch a cold at such a critical moment.
In early spring, the weather was cooler, and wearing thin clothes and sweating could easily cause the flu. Luo Jiu did not dare to neglect, so he took two cold medicines, but the results were still ineffective, so he went to the hospital accompanied by He Jingping, planning to get a bottle of water first.
In Sequoia Stadium, the two sides of the first game have been announced.
Geng Shuai vs Duan Changying.
After all, Jiangcheng University played a little trick and changed the positions of Wang Bo and Duan Changying.
This exchange does not mean much to outsiders, because the strength of these two players is both above Geng Shuai and below Wang Chao. No matter how they are swapped, there will be no difference in the first two games, and they must be one win and one loss.
So their calculations mainly focused on the doubles in the third game.
In terms of doubles candidates, Jiangcheng University Team defaults to Spade Q and will definitely choose Geng Shuai and Wu Li. The reason is that Wang Chao just landed last night and has never paired with Wu Li. How can they form a team directly?
If you can win this, then what's the point of the "tacit understanding" and "style matching" that doubles events have emphasized over the years?
Wang Chao is obviously an ace who can definitely score two points in singles, how could he take risks in doubles?
Now that it's determined that Spade Q's doubles match will be Geng Shuai and Wu Li, can we crush them in terms of strength?
Jiangcheng University Team's answer is: No.
You know, Jiangcheng University's single was originally Luo Jiu. In other words, Duan Changying has been playing doubles with Wang Bo in the past few years, but now, because Ma Angxing's athlete level is too low, they can only be separated, and one of them must team up with Ma Angxing.
Ma Angxing, like Wu Li, is also new, and no one has cooperated with them before, so Jiangcheng University Team's doubles match was actually a mess. Spade Q and Spade Q can be said to have become famous for a while, but they all stink.
So, since they can't be crushed in terms of strength, are there any off-the-table tricks that can win this doubles match?
some.
The way Jiangcheng University Team came up with is to let Wang Bo play the second single. In this case, Wang Bo will play against Geng Shuai in the second game.
Duan Changying is a straight-tempered person. As his name suggests, he has a vigorous playing style and is determined to move forward. He will not play tricks.
But Wang Bo is an old yinbi.
Even though Wang Bo was once young, upright and passionate, after more than ten years of professional competition, his tender and tender core has long been thoroughly infected.
So he has already thought of a whole set of methods today, intending to repeatedly stir up Geng Shuai's emotions.
Loafing the ball and so on are all inferior methods. The real method of Gao Ming is to always give Geng Shuai the hope of winning, but always let him down at the last moment. When Geng Shuai has the advantage, he suppresses him. When Encourage Geng Shuai when he is at a disadvantage, supplement it with contempt on his face and ridicule in his eyes, and perhaps some provocative actions such as raising the middle finger, twisting his butt, and making faces. Even if he will be punished by the referee, with this set of punches, Geng Shuai, who has a bad temper, will definitely break his defense.
As a veteran, Wang Bo knows how to do this kind of thing.
First make Geng Shuai angry, and then crush Geng Shuai in terms of hard power, making Geng Shuai incompetent and furious but unable to do anything. In this case, Geng Shuai will completely collapse in extreme frustration.
Then, in the third doubles match, Jiangcheng University Team was able to use the collapsed Geng Shuai as a breakthrough point to easily win.
Some people will ask, is it too insidious for you to do this? Aren't you afraid of causing an off-site real person PK? Don't you think this is against sportsmanship?
Some people may also say that we all live in the same city just to make ends meet, so why should we do everything right?
That's because you don't understand what a derby really means.
At a small scale, this game is just two teams from the same city competing for ranking, but at a larger scale, it is two teams competing for die-hard fans. Fans are the main consumers of the club and also the club's bread and butter. However, the audiences of the two teams are completely overlapping. I will lose as much as you grab. What you gain and lose are the economic interests of the future club, and economic interests are the most important thing for the healthy operation of the club.
Therefore, this can even be said to be a battle between the two teams to re-divide the cake. Those who failed suffered huge defeats, and those who won were rich in victory. Otherwise, why would Fan Xiaoxian rush to recall Wang Chao from thousands of miles away?
There are rumors in the world that taking someone's money is like killing their parents. You are going to steal their market share. Who cares if it turns into a real person PK?
Someone may ask again, if it is so important, why can Luo Jiu choose to avoid the battle so easily?
This is because Luo Jiu's pursuits are completely different from those of others from the very beginning.
This year's Luo Jiu is pursuing the highest honor in his career. He is fighting for his dream. Under the dream, everything must give way.
He doesn't want to be drained by Wang Chao until his vitality is severely damaged, and he is even more afraid that Wang Chao will use unpredictable means to plot against him, causing him to lose his invincible self-confidence. Therefore, even if he is more powerful than Wang Chao now, he will never take the initiative to touch Wang Chao, and he is not even willing to take any risks.
But Wang Bo has long since retired from the national team, and has long lost the ambition to win glory for the country. All he has done in these years by playing football for his health is to make money to support his family. What he values most is naturally the financial interests of the club and the amount of bonuses he will receive after winning.
Even Duan Changying still has a dream and has been sprinting, but he has been unable to make it.
Therefore, Duan Changying would not do such a thing as calculating Geng Shuai. Only Wang Bo could pull him off. In fact, he took the initiative to propose this plan and received the support of the head coach.
However, all the calculations came to nothing after seeing the lineup for the first game.
This is so unscientific.
Why is the order for Spade Q Geng Shuai?
Why would Wang Chao, who was clearly sure of winning two singles matches, play doubles where the outcome was uncertain?
Spade Q is crazy?
Wang Bo people are stupid.
Duan Changying came on the scene and fought with Geng Shuai for a full forty minutes, finally winning 4:2.
This victory is natural, but Geng Shuai's resilience and ability to withstand pressure still make Jiangcheng University Team feel a faint aura of uncertainty.
Because when Spade Q played Magic City Fire Phoenix a few days ago, it was obvious that they did not have such toughness. Geng Shuai was defeated by Bai Feng in the first game that day, and the subsequent decline was simply terrible, as if they were playing a fake match.
Geng Shuai actually lost miserably in the first game today, 11:3. He fought against Duan Changying throughout the game. They fought very fiercely, but they really couldn't beat him, so he was forced to death.
But in the next few games, Geng Shuai not only did not collapse, but became more and more courageous, fighting with all his strength, and even unexpectedly snatched two games from Duan Changying.
You know, according to the pre-match predictions and the analysis of the strength of both sides, Jiangcheng University Team defaults to Geng Shuai being blocked.
Head coach Xiao Guohua's eyes involuntarily drifted to Spade Q's player bench, where sat Wang Chao, the only opponent Xiao Guohua was wary of today.
It is obvious that Geng Shuai's radical change came exactly from Wang Chao.
This boy is amazing. The things he has done in the past six months are more outrageous than what many players will do in their entire lives.
He is the soul of Spade Q.
Although he is young, he is as smart as a fox, making decisions before taking action, and will never take action without clear interests.
He came all the way back and forced Luo Jiu to retreat. Naturally, he came to such a big battle not to fight blindly, but to win with confidence.
After all, judging from past historical results, Wang Chao never does anything he is not sure of, nor does he make any unnecessary moves.
So, why does he think he will win?
There must be some mystery in it that I haven't figured out yet.
Xiao Guohua was stunned on the spot and began to think wildly.
"Wang Chao Why do you want to take the initiative to play doubles?"
"He has obviously never played with Wu Li, so why does he think he can definitely score points in doubles?"
Xiao Guohua thought of the old Yinbi plan Wang Bo made last night.
He thought again of Wang Chao's older plan to abolish Lin Zijun last year.
He thought about it carefully, broke out in cold sweat, and suddenly had an epiphany.
"I understand!"
"He must have thought of getting together with Wang Bo."
"Wang Bo wants to eliminate one of Spade Q's tag team members in the second game, and Wang Chao also wants to eliminate one of our tag team members in the second game."
"That's it!"
Xiao Guohua was in a state of turmoil, but on the surface he remained calm. He leaned over and whispered to Wang Bo, who was getting ready to warm up. "Have a good attitude. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, but no matter what, don't affect your mentality. Don't affect the next doubles match."
Wang Bo was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, showed a look of surprise, nodded and said, "Okay."
He appeared in a tragic mood, thinking he had seen through everything, and was mentally prepared to be humiliated in every possible way by Wang Chao.
I haven't had a haircut in a long time, and I just want to shave my head. You should come over!
