I am in Prince of Tennis, others are training me while I am lying down

Qiansui smiled and said, "Although that's what you said, your expression doesn't mean that, coach."

Watanabe Shudo: "We lost so badly to Rikkai University last year, we should have learned a lesson this year."

"This year we have Chitose and Kintaro joining Shitenhoji, and our strength is much higher than last year."

“So, our goal this year is to play at least five games even if we lose.”

Kintaro opened his mouth and said, "Ah! I thought Ash would say our goal is to win."

Shiraishi said: "Rikkai University has won the championship for two consecutive years. Their strongest point is that the entire team has basically no obvious weaknesses. No matter whether it is singles or doubles, no one is easy to deal with."

"Besides, Rikkai University's tradition is to eliminate the opponent in three games. If we drag them to the fifth game, it will be considered a small victory."

Watanabe Osamu nodded and said, "So the deployment of troops is very important."

"The following is the list of players to compete: Singles No. 3: Shiraishi Kuranosuke.

Doubles No. 2: Koharu, Kazushi

Singles No. 2: Chitose Chisato

Doubles No. 1: Kenya Oshitari, Hikaru Zaizen

Singles No. 1: Kintaro Toyama. "

Kintaro called out, "Hey, Shiraishi is the first one to appear?"

Watanabe said: "As the captain, no one would have thought that I would put Shiraishi in the singles third position. This is our unique strategy."

"I guess the opponent's No. 3 singles player could be Yanagi Renji or Kirihara Akaya, with a small chance of being Sanada Genichirō."

"In this way, our chances of winning the first game are very high."

"We can't match the other team in doubles, so it's okay if the No. 2 doubles player loses."

"Qian Sui has opened the second door to the realm of selflessness: the limit of brilliant talent, and the chances of winning the game are very high."

Kintaro said, "That means we have 2 wins. We only need to win 1 of the remaining two."

Watanabe Osamu held a stick in the corner of his mouth, pondered for a while, and said: "It is very likely that the doubles number one will not win. Xiao Jin, if you face the president of Rikkai University, Takahashi Hikoichi..."

Kintaro became excited and said, "Takahashi Hikoichi, is he a freshman like me? I really want to compete with him. I heard that he is even better than Chaoqian who came back from the United States."

Watanabe Shudao: "Well, Xiao Jin, just take it as an experience!"

Kintaro said, "Ash, do you think I can't win?"

Watanabe Osamu did not give a direct answer, saying: "We'll see when the time comes!"

Watanabe Osamu had previously observed Takahashi's performance in the Kanto Tournament finals.

From the moment Takahashi hit the light shot, Watanabe realized that Takahashi was probably the best player in junior high school tennis.

Just the hitting of the ball is a sign of world class.

And Takahashi at that time could also make the light hit the ball and split it.

This level has probably already firmly entered the world class.

No matter how talented Toyama Kintaro was, Watanabe Osamu had no hope of winning the No. 1 singles match.

A world-class player comes to participate in a national competition for middle school students. Isn't this a dimensionality reduction attack?

Therefore, Watanabe Osamu also understood that no one could stop Rikkai University from winning three consecutive championships.

Shitenhoji's goal is also very practical. Since they are destined to lose, they should not lose so badly.

……

On the playing field.

It was not until there were five minutes left before the start of the game that Watanabe Osamu saw the players in yellow and white uniforms entering the stadium one after another.

"Eh? Shiraishi, can you help me see if the person walking on the far right is Yukimura Seiichi?"

Watanabe Osamu's words reached Shiraishi's ears.

Shiraishi cast his gaze towards everyone in Rikkai.

"Yes, that's him, Yukimura Seiichi, who is known as the son of God."

"I didn't expect that he would play in this game."

Bai Shi replied.

"Did Yukimura play in the quarterfinals, when Rikkai University played against Hyotei?"

Watanabe Osamu asked.

"That match was also completed in 3 rounds. I didn't seem to see Yukimura Seiichi when I went to watch the match."

"I heard that he fell ill before the Kanto Tournament. Now that he shows up, does that mean his illness has been cured?"

Whitehead Road.

"Oh, this is not good news for us. With the Big Three plus Takahashi, Rikkai University's lineup has absolutely no blind spots!"

Watanabe Shudo.

"But I'm confused. Since Yukimura Seiichi is back, why is Takahashi still the minister? Isn't he the acting minister?"

Whitehead Road.

"Rikkai University has always been a place where the strong prevail. Takahashi's strength is even higher than Yukimura's, so it's not surprising that he's the president!"

Watanabe Shudo.

"You have a point. He is just a first-year president, and he is from Rikkai University. I always feel out of place. After all, Yukimura was the strongest person in Rikkai University in the past two years. This concept has been deeply rooted in people's minds."

“It feels unreal to suddenly see the minister replaced.”

Whitehead Road.

"Oh, Shiraishi, that's not the point. When I was thinking about the list, I didn't take Yukimura into consideration. Where do you think Yukimura will appear?"

Watanabe said.

"Let's play singles No. 2! Sanada is not as good as Yukimura. Now that Yukimura has returned, there is a high chance that Sanada will appear in singles No. 3 in this match."

Bai Shi said, his face darkening.

As the "Emperor" of Rikkai University, Sanada is not so easy to deal with.

Even with the help of Shiraishi, the captain, it would be difficult for No. 3 to win this singles match.

……

"The semi-finals of the national tournament will begin, with Rikkai University High School versus Shitenhoji."

"The singles match for number three is about to begin. Yukimura Seiichi from Rikkai University High School will face Shiraishi Kuranosuke from Shitenhoji."

It was playing loudly on the radio.

……

"what?"

"Yukimura Seiichi will play singles against number three?"

Bai Shi was stunned.

Originally, Shiraishi was feeling a little depressed when he saw Yukimura appear.

Yukimura is so strong, and his return in the semi-finals is not a good thing for Shitenhoji.

Then the probability of Shiraishi fighting against Sanada is very high.

However, Shiraishi never expected that he would meet Yukimura Seiichi in the singles No. 3 match.

Yukimura Seiichi, who was the undisputed number one junior high school student before Takahashi, actually played as the number three singles player.

What a joke!

This roster is too messy!

Watanabe Osamu stroked his forehead and said helplessly: "Blame me! It's all my fault! I made the deployment based on last year's list."

"I forgot about Rikkai University's new president, Takahashi Hikoichi! Last year we faced Yukimura's deployment, but this year Takahashi is the leader. Their styles are completely different."

"This should be his masterpiece. Don't forget that in the quarterfinals against Hyotei, he played as the Minister and played as the third singles player."

"It seems that he is also a guy who doesn't play by the rules like me."

"Letting Yukimura Seiichi play singles number three is a brilliant move!"

"It's even more incredible than me putting Shiraishi at singles number three."

"Now, we will be eliminated in three games again!"

Watanabe Osamu talked to himself and looked up at the sky.
