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

On the other side, the Rikkai University rest area.

"I didn't expect that Shitenhoji would put Minister Shiraishi in the singles third position. What a clever move!"

Sanada said.

“It fits in with their coach’s style of doing things.”

"According to my information, Shitenhoji's coach Watanabe Osamu is a very cunning man with a high IQ."

"Letting their strongest player play singles against three is probably to secure the first victory!"

"After all, they were eliminated by us in three games last year."

Yanagi Renjidao.

"As luck would have it, I ran into Vice Minister Yukimura."

"Hahaha!"

"I really want to see the other coach's face right now."

Kirihara was very happy.

"Busan, have you anticipated the opponent's tactics? Is that why you let Yukimura play against No. 3?"

Sanada asked.

In addition to this game, there was also the one against Hyotei in the quarterfinals.

Putting Takahashi and Yukimura in the third position in singles seemed like sheer nonsense to Sanada.

The strongest player should stay in the singles number one position.

However, considering the opponent's tactics.

Such changes just happened to disrupt the opponent's strategy and tactics, as if they were targeted.

Especially the match with Hyotei, later Sanada found out that Takahashi had a bet with Atobe.

But Sanada didn't expect that Atobe would be willing to play the third singles position for this bet. He thought that Atobe would at most demote himself to the second singles position.

Atobe Keigo is a person who demands to do everything in a gorgeous way.

The No. 2 position in singles is already not very glamorous.

Running up to No. 3 in singles was something Sanada could never have imagined.

But he actually did it.

The most amazing thing is that in order to avoid encountering Takahashi, Atobe specially came to play singles number three.

However, he didn't expect that Takahashi had seen through Atobe's thoughts and was waiting for him in singles number three.

Thinking of the expression on Atobe's face at that time, Sanada couldn't help but smile.

He had known Atobe for such a long time, but he had never seen Atobe with such an ugly expression.

The same is true for the match against Shitenhoji.

Originally, when Sanada heard that Yukimura Seiichi would play as the No. 3 singles player, he was somewhat confused.

After all, in the past two years, Yukimura, as the strongest player in Rikkai University, has always been the number one player in singles.

But when he heard that the opponent was Minister Shiraishi Kuranosuke, he was about to fight.

Sanada immediately understood what the other party meant.

Do you want to use the strongest player from Shitenhoji to challenge the weakest singles player from Rikkai University?

In this way, the probability of Shitenhoji winning the first victory is very high.

After all, last year, Rikkai University eliminated Shitenhoji in three games, and Shiraishi, as the number one singles player at the time, had no chance to play at all.

Therefore, Rikkai University does not have much information about Shiraishi.

If Takahashi really followed common sense and let Kirihara or Yanagi Renji play singles at No. 3, I'm afraid the winning rate in the first game would not be 100%.

As the strongest school in the Kansai region, Shiraishi, the president of Shitenhoji, is a person who cannot be underestimated.

But the opponent probably never expected that their strongest man would actually meet Yukimura.

If Takahashi wasn't there, Yukimura would be the strongest person in Rikkai University.

Not to mention the strength of both sides, in terms of strategy and tactics, Takahashi was not inferior to the opponent at all.

The opposing coach is an experienced and shrewd adult.

And Takahashi, who was just in the first grade of junior high school, easily cracked the opponent's moves.

It seems that Takahashi is not only very powerful, but also very good at deploying troops.

However, this is not surprising.

Takahashi is a fan of Ryukoku's works, and Sanada knows very well that Ryukoku's works vividly describe the intrigues and deceptions on the battlefield, especially "The Art of War".

Sanada reads it frequently and finds it always new.

Influenced by the culture of the Dragon Kingdom, and knowing how to apply it flexibly, Takahashi not only applied the strategies on the battlefield to his daily tennis practice, but also applied the strategies of deploying troops on the battlefield to the arrangement of troops in the order of appearance.

Hikoichi Takahashi is such a rare genius!

Looking at the admiring and respectful look from Sanada, Takahashi couldn't help but touch his nose.

The truth is not what they think at all.

It was Yukimura himself who suggested participating in the game.

Yukimura had fallen ill before and missed the entire Kanto tournament.

Now that he has almost recovered from his illness and he hasn't played for such a long time, Yukimura has a strong desire to play.

Takahashi took into consideration that Yukimura had just recovered from a serious illness and therefore let him play in the No. 3 singles position. Originally, Takahashi thought that he would not encounter strong opponents in this position.

It was just to let Yukimura, who hadn't played for a long time, get familiar with the game atmosphere and practice.

Unexpectedly, I accidentally broke the opponent's plan.

……

On the court, after guessing the first point, Shiraishi served.

Shiraishi patted the tennis ball on the ground, then threw it up. When the tennis ball landed in the right position, he jumped up with force and swung the racket violently.

"boom!"

Accompanied by the crisp sound of hitting the ball.

The tennis ball turned into a stream of yellow light and flew towards Yukimura.

……

Gao Qiao's eyes lit up and he said:

"Shiraishi's batting action is very good, fast and accurate, without any unnecessary little movements or bad habits. It is just as perfect as a picture in a textbook."

Behind him, Yanagi Renji took out the data book in his hand and said, "This is Shiraishi's Bible tennis. Perfect tennis with no loopholes."

Kirihara said, "Perfect? ​​It's a bit too much to describe Shiraishi as perfect!"

Takahashi explained: "He is perfect because his foundation is very solid."

“Whether it’s speed, strength, technique, endurance or mental strength, he has no weaknesses in any aspect.”

Kirihara said, "Eh? Master thinks so highly of him?"

Takahashi said, "Kirhara, this is also his biggest weakness."

"what?"

Kirihara was puzzled.

At this time, on the field.

Taking advantage of Shiraishi's gap at the baseline, Yukimura placed a short ball in front of the net.

"0-40!"

"Rikkai University High School scores!"

……

"Yukimura-senpai scores really fast!"

"We scored three points in just a few minutes."

Kirihara exclaimed.

"This is what I call Shiraishi's biggest problem."

Takahashi Road.

"What do you mean?"

Kirihara asked.

"Every aspect has equal capabilities, with no obvious disadvantages. In other words, there are no obvious advantages."

"For players whose strength level is lower than his own, Shiraishi can completely crush his opponents in all aspects."

"But if the opponent is surprisingly strong in one aspect and surpasses him, he will be in trouble because he has no advantage in all aspects."

"Especially when he meets an opponent like Yukimura who can crush him in every aspect, he has no chance of winning at all."

Takahashi Road.

"That's right!"

Kirihara thought about it.

"What the Minister said makes sense. Shiraishi's basic ability is very strong, but Yukimura's basic ability is even stronger than his."

Sanada said.

"So the other coach made a bad move by mistake. Yukimura is simply an enhanced version of Shiraishi."

"It's bad luck for Shiraishi to meet Yukimura!"

Marui blew up the bubble gum in his mouth and said.
