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

Mifune said: "Takahashi brings more benefits than just these."

"Recently, many internationally renowned brands have contacted me, wanting to actively sponsor Takahashi, or even our R team."

Taneshima said, "Is Takahashi so popular now?"

Mifune said: "People naturally admire the strong. When Borg was Takahashi's age, he didn't have the strength that Takahashi has."

"Those sponsors know that in a few years, when Takahashi successfully turns professional, he will surely attract the attention of the entire world tennis community."

"So thanks to Takahashi, our entire team has received more attention and treatment this year."

……

"The semi-finals of the U17 World Championship are about to begin, with Team D facing Team R."

"The first match will be singles number three, with Tezuka Kunimitsu from Country D taking on Genichirō Sanada from Country R."

The broadcast voice sounded in a clear and melodious voice.

……

"This semi-final adopts the format of alternating singles and doubles, just like our national competition."

"I didn't expect Tezuka to be the first to appear. It seems that he is highly regarded in Country D!"

Atobe said in a deep voice.

"Why is it Sanada who is playing in the match?"

"I thought it would be Fuji or Atobe. They are more familiar with Tezuka's abilities."

Mu Shou pushed up his glasses and said.

"Today's order of play was decided by several coaches in person in a meeting. Even I don't know where I am."

Byodoin said.

After hearing what Byodoin said, Kurobe coughed uncomfortably.

There will be a total of 7 people participating in this competition. According to the regulations of the Tennis Association, it will consist of 4 high school students and 3 junior high school students.

The order in which the high school students would appear was indeed determined after intense discussion, but the three junior high school students who would appear today were all decided by Takahashi.

Coach Mifune was afraid of trouble, and secondly, he really didn't understand the ability of the junior high school students.

So he threw the matter to Takahashi.

Although Takahashi's skills are comparable to those of professional players, he is only 12 years old and can only be considered a junior high school student.

As a result, there are only two places left for junior high school students.

When Kurobe went to Takahashi to tell this matter, he saw with his own eyes Takahashi pick up the pen and write down Sanada Genichirō's name without thinking. As for the other one, he decided by drawing lots.

Kurobe felt that Takahashi's casual attitude was a big problem and the situation was serious.

I thought head coach Mifune would carefully consider the list of junior high school students, but he didn't expect Mifune to not even look at it and directly handed the list to the competition organizing committee.

Thinking of that scene, Kurobe still feels speechless.

……

On the playing field.

Sanada and Tezuka slowly walked to the net.

Sanada stared at Tezuka and said seriously, "Tezuka, I have been looking forward to this match for a long time."

"I will never let you go this time."

The same sharp look shot out from Tezuka's eyes.

This game is crucial for him.

If he can make a great contribution to the D country team's victory in the world championships, Borg will consider formally recommending him to the D country tennis world and allowing him to become a professional player in the future.

Therefore, for Tezuka, this is also a game that cannot be lost.

Thinking of this, Tezuka shifted his gaze slightly towards the rest area of ​​the R team.

Ever since he heard the name Sanada, he always felt a little uneasy.

Because Tezuka still clearly remembers that during the national competition, Takahashi used the match with himself as a coaching match in order to let Sanada defeat him.

Given Takahashi's current strength, Tezuka certainly believes in his ability to coach.

But Tezuka is also growing continuously, and under the guidance of Borg, the world's strongest tennis player, his strength has also improved rapidly.

And Genichirō Sanada was defeated by him in elementary school.

Takahashi, who coaches Sanada, is not as good as Borg, who coaches himself, so in this game, he still has a greater chance of winning.

Tezuka comforted himself in his heart.

……

"Best of three sets! First up is R's Sanada's serve."

Following the referee's voice, Sanada threw the ball, raised his arm, and swung the racket. His movements were smooth and seamless.

"boom!"

"It's as fast as the wind!"

Sanada shouted loudly.

……

Oishi exclaimed, "What a fast swing!"

Yanagi Renji explained, "This is Sanada's special move, the wind from Fuuinzan, an ultra-high-speed shot."

Yukimura crossed his arms and said, "Sanada's wind seems to be faster than before, and the angle of attack is also very tricky."

……

"boom!"

Facing the tennis ball that was rapidly bouncing towards him, Tezuka quickly ran to the left, turned around, and hit the ball backhand.

Just as Tezuka was feeling relieved that he had successfully returned the ball, he looked up and found that Sanada had already reached the net.

He jumped high and dunked the ball.

"boom!"

"Invasion like fire!"

Tezuka's eyelids twitched. This ball was aimed at his backhand again.

He immediately ran forward a few steps and barely hit the tennis ball back with his backhand.

"boom!"

"Qixu Rulin!"

A short ball with no spin landed in front of the net, while Tezuka was still at the baseline.

"15-0!"

"R's team scores!"

……

Tezuka glanced at Sanada across from him in surprise.

From the moment he served, Sanada kept attacking his backhand, and the angles of the attacks really made him feel uncomfortable, and he was unable to perform at his best.

If he hadn't gone through the high-intensity training in Country D, he probably wouldn't have been able to successfully return the ball from such a tricky angle.

He managed to add a little spin to the tennis ball while returning it, but then Sanada used Hayashi's slice to turn the tennis ball into a spin-free ball that landed in front of the net and scored directly.

Being able to launch such attacks continuously, Tezuka felt that his ball path and batting habits had been completely studied by his opponent.

However, he had only played one match with Takahashi.

Can Takahashi obtain so much information through one game?

……

the other side.

R The team's rest area.

"I didn't expect Sanada to be so powerful!"

Fuji was a little shocked. He didn't expect that Tezuka and Sanada would lose points directly after just one fight.

Fuji still remembers the feeling of oppression that Tezuka brought to him during the exhibition match.

Yanagi Renji said: "Sanada is not that powerful, it's just that Tezuka happened to be targeted."

"Ever since hearing that Tezuka would play for Country D, Inui Sadaharu handed over all the information he had collected on Tezuka over the past three years to the coach."

Bu Er was slightly stunned, then reacted and said, "This is indeed something Qian would do."

"He has always been obsessed with defeating Tezuka and obtaining all of his data."

Atobe said: "Well! The people who know Tezuka best are his teammates after all."

"But it's a good thing this way. Tezuka is now on the opposite side of our R team. Having his detailed information will only benefit us!"
