Chapter 202: Two Doubles Matches Against World No. 2, a Disastrous Defeat

At this time, Zhongdao came down from the court carrying a tennis racket.

He stretched out his right hand, opened his palm, and motioned for Sanada to look at his palm.

"A coin?"

Sanada expressed confusion.

Tanejima explained: "If you want to break through the opponent's blockade, you can only hit the ball so that the opponent can't judge the path of the ball at all."

"With a coin in hand and a racket in hand, even I don't know where the ball will go."

"Of course Zeus can't be in control!"

"It's just that this method is too easy to please. The next time we fight Zeus, this method will fail."

As he spoke, Zhongdao walked forward.

Looking at Tanedima's light footsteps, Sanada frowned and said, "You actually won using this method."

Takahashi said: "As long as we win, the process is not important."

"And it's not easy to deal with Zeus's omniscience and omnipotence."

Sanada asked, "What if we want to attack head-on? What methods are there?"

Gao Qiao thought for a moment and said, "The only way is to crush the opponent with strength."

"Even if Zeus guessed the path of your ball and controlled the rhythm of the entire game, he still couldn't hit your ball back."

"But the Greek team is ranked tenth in the world after all. It is very difficult to crush their main player in terms of strength."

"Besides, Zhongdao's strength is slightly lower than Zeus's, so this method is the best solution at this stage."

……

"In Group B of the group stage, Team R won with a record of 3 wins and 0 losses!"

The referee loudly announced.

……

a few days later.

Outside the stadium where R is fighting against Rui Shi.

Coach Mifune shouted in a loud voice: "I declare that the team that will play against the Ruishi team today is called the 'Mei' team."

"The participants are: Byodoin Phoenix, Takahashi Hikoichi, Duke Watanabe, Irie Kanata, Omagari Ryuji, Kite Nagashiro, and Tokugawa Kazuya."

Mu Shou asked with some confusion: "The team that fought against Xila on the first day was called the 'Song' team."

"The team that played against Australia yesterday was called the Bamboo Team."

"Why do we have to call the 'Mei' team when it's our turn? We are a group of men!"

Mifune's hand holding the wine jug was visibly stunned.

Takahashi added, "Pine, bamboo and plum, as I remember, are the three friends of winter."

Kirihara asked, "What does the Three Friends of Winter mean?"

Takahashi explained: "Pine is evergreen, bamboo does not wither in winter, and plum blossoms in the cold weather. These three plants can maintain their tenacious vitality in the harsh winter, so they are called the 'Three Friends of Winter'."

Sanada nodded and said, "These three words probably reflect the coach's infinite expectations for us."

Ignoring what Kirihara and the others said, Mifune took a big sip of wine and said, "Haven't you heard that saying?"

"Men are like plum blossoms, the queen of all flowers!"

Several black lines crossed everyone's faces.

Mifune continued, "Okay, no more jokes! Today we're playing against the world's second-ranked Ruishi team!"

“Are you confident that you can win?”

Mu Shou said: "I have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and it is finally my turn to play."

"Of course the victory belongs to us."

Yanagi Renji said: "According to my information, the captain of the Ruishi team, Amadeus, is an active professional player."

“Although they lost to Team A-Lia before, they are not easy to deal with either.”

Mu Shou said: "Those of you who collect data should not just blindly believe in the data. People are constantly changing and growing."

"Two days ago, we defeated the Greek team and the Australian team. Their world rankings were both ahead of ours, but they still lost to us, didn't they?"

……

20 minute later.

Ōmagari Ryuji and Kide Nagashiro came down from the arena covered in dust and dirt.

The scoreboard on the side clearly read 6-1!

Byodoin glanced coldly at the two people who returned to the rest area and said, "What an ugly loss!"

Yanagi Renji said: "The lineup of the Ruishi team today is completely different from the lineup they used against A-Dalia."

Kijujiro said: "I have investigated. They did not send out their strongest force against A-Dalia. They only sent out the second team."

"Maybe I didn't expect to lose in the group stage."

Irie continued, "So, they are ready to go all out in this match."

"Hey, is that Amadeus across the way?"

Hearing this, Byodoin looked up at the opposite side and responded, "Yeah!"

"That's him. Amadeus, who just finished participating in a professional tennis tournament and rushed back for the glory of Ruishi."

"It's been two years since he turned professional."

Kirihara was surprised and asked, "It took longer than that time for Borg from the D country team to turn professional?"

Duke said, "Yes. Borg has only been a professional for a year, while Amadeus has been a professional for two years."

"It is because of Amadeus, a professional player, that the Ruishi team was able to get the second place in the world championship."

……

20 minute later.

Duke and Tokugawa both walked off the court in a disheveled state.

There was a big 6-3 on the scoreboard next to the field!

Duke walked back to the rest area sweating profusely and said to Byodoin: "Boss, I'm sorry!"

Byodoin crossed his arms, his expression somewhat serious, and said: "This is the strength of the world's second-ranked Ruishi team."

"The victory in the past two days came too easily, making us all forget the cruelty of the world."

Gui said seriously, "We lost both doubles matches. If we lose the next one, we will be completely defeated by Rui Shi."

Head coach Mifune raised his head and took a sip of wine and said, "It doesn't matter. Even if we lose, we can still qualify as the second place in the group stage."

"And in order to prevent myself from losing all three games, I have made special preparations."

Irie said, "So, who is our singles number three?"

"Starting from this game, the order of play submitted before the game cannot be changed."

Takahashi took off his coat, picked up his tennis racket, and said, "It's me."

Hearing this, everyone's faces relaxed.

Takahashi is very reliable!

He defeated QP in the exhibition match. With him playing singles number three, he will definitely win.

At this time, a voice came from the radio.

"Next we will start the singles match for number three."

……

On the other side of the court, a tall figure carrying a tennis racket walked out from the shadows.

That curly hair and slender figure.

It was Amadeus!

Dashi was sweating profusely as he asked, "The opponent's third player is actually Amadeus?"

"A current professional player?"

Gui's expression became serious again, and he said, "The Ruishi team arranged their troops like this, putting all the strong players in the front to play first. Are they planning to finish us off in three games?"

Irie said, "It's possible! The previous loss to A-Dalia made them start to think about the order of battle."

"But I didn't expect that Amadeus, as a professional player, would be willing to play singles three."

Kirihara, who was listening to everyone's discussion, was a little worried and asked Mifune, "Coach, who is better, Amadeus or the QP from Country D? Is it the professional player Amadeus?"

Mifune pondered and said, "Not necessarily. A perfect-quality QP may not be as strong as Amadeus, but between him and Amadeus who has evolved to the ultimate quality, I can't tell who is stronger."

“All in all, it’s going to be a great game.”
