Lehigh High School Boys Tennis Club

The doubles two match officially ended, and Qingxue, who had lost two games, seemed a little silent.

Yamato forced himself to show a smile: "Okay, we haven't lost yet, cheer up!"

From the perspective of the overall record, it is already a very good result for Qingxue to reach the final of the Kanto Competition this year.In fact, when Yamato was a minister, whether it was junior high school or high school, he basically stopped at the county competition.

He originally had a chance, in the third year of junior high school, but Tezuka's injury ruined that chance.

So he once regretted that he had loosened his control over the tennis team because of his injury, which made Tezuka's originally smooth tennis road more bumpy.

And this year, with Kikumaru and Gan who have grown up, Budu who has made up his mind to start serious competitions, and Tachibana Juping from Kyushu Shuangxiong, who reached the final of the Kanto competition and has the qualifications to enter the national competition...

His mind tells him he's been great so far, but his heart tells him he wants to win.

only……

Looking at Sanada who came out from Li Haida's side, Yamato held back the thought of sighing.

He looked at Ju who was about to appear on stage: "I'll leave it to you."

"Ah, don't worry, I won't admit defeat!"

Kyushu Shuangxiong, Jujuping.

This is no stranger to Sanada.

He Guoyi became the main candidate, and he has always been the candidate for singles three or singles two. He would not directly match up with the Kyushu duo at that time, but he also saw the scene where the Kyushu duo defeated his senior.

But last year, Ju Juping, who went to Fudong Peak, lost the vigor he once had.

Sanada would not comment on Kirihara's style of play at that time, that style of play was indulged by the seniors of Rikai University, and it turned out that such a style of play was also very common in the World Cup.

It's just that you really need to have a strong psychological quality to support players to play with that style of play until the end.

For example, although many people scolded him, he was the No. 1 high school student, Byodoin Phoenix.

If Ju Juping can overcome the psychological barrier, fully control his style of play, and grasp the balance, then his future will be very bright.

But the current Jujuping, obviously, has not completely let go of it.

This is a problem that cannot be resolved through heart-to-heart talks.Chitose didn't blame him at all, it's just that Tachibana couldn't pass the hurdle in his heart.

And facing such an opponent...

"Win this match," Yukimura said.

Sanada stepped onto the field.

He has made great progress in controlling the rhythm of the game, but in this game he does not need to use complete rationality to control himself, but to attack, attack, and attack again.

Ju Juping, who is burdened with victory and defeat, has a huge psychological burden.

Sanada can't hold back, he wants to defeat his opponent!

"Furinkazan"!

It didn't even need to use the tricks he perfected in the World Cup, but "Feng Lin Huo" firmly suppressed Ju Juping. "Yin" and "Thunder" are very burdensome to the body. Sanada didn't use them continuously, but the use of them at the match point also appeared to be neat and neat.

It is still two straight games, Tachibana Juhei has a lot of determination, but he really can't beat Sanada.

If I played... the result would not change.

Yamato, who was on the sidelines, felt a little bitter.

He has self-knowledge and knows that he can no longer catch up with these talented juniors.

"Gamewonby Genichiro Sanada, 6-4!"

"Gamewonby Genichiro Sanada, 6-3!"

"This is the end of the XX Japanese High School Kanto Tournament. The Lihai University Affiliated Middle School VS Youth Academy match, 3-0, and the Likai University Affiliated Middle School won the Kanto Tournament champion."

"The award ceremony and the announcement of the national competition schedule will begin in 10 minutes. Students who are present at the Kanto competition are invited to line up in the field."

The referee's whistle blew, and the radio began to broadcast the news that Lihai University Affiliated Middle School had won the Kanto Contest.

The award ceremony started directly at the scene, and players from other schools who came to watch the game lined up in the tennis park according to the instructions of the Tennis Association staff.

This time, Sanada was not the only one left alone to get the runner-up medal.

"Go up." Yukimura pushed Sanada.

Sanada was stunned for a few seconds before he realized it, and took the trophy from the Tennis Association staff before he stepped onto the stage.

The depression and anger accumulated in his heart, which he didn't even notice, was dissolved invisibly.

Sanada raised the trophy high.

He thought he would not be moved by this.The champion of the Kanto Contest should be Li Haida.But at this moment, he inevitably thought of the scene when he was holding the runner-up medal last year, full of remorse and sadness, and had to go to the hospital with a straight face to wait for the results of Yukimura's final operation.

He didn't think it was so difficult at the time, he just felt that it was his fault that he didn't win the game.And he never showed his thoughts in front of his teammates, he just said with a straight face as usual that he would take back Li Haida's glory.

That's it now.

Sanada suddenly felt a sore nose.

For no reason, it was when he was pushed by Yukimura and won the trophy on behalf of Li Haida.

This is your trophy!

Sanada held back the words.

With a serious face, he said two short acceptance speeches, stepped off the stage, and directly stuffed the trophy into Yukimura's arms.

"Are you happy?" Yukimura said with a smile.

Sanada thought, does your tone mean that I will be angry if I don’t get the trophy?

This year, there is no other school that is their opponent of Lihai University.

Even Qingxue, who took away their championships twice last year, couldn't make up the original golden lineup.

Therefore, Sanada has always felt that it is nothing to win the championship of the Kanto Competition, or even the championship of the National Competition. This is what they should do.

But... Yukimura really saw through him.

He didn't care as much as he seemed to care.

Sanada choked his throat.

He adjusted for a while before maintaining his superficial calmness, and snorted in a nonchalant manner: "The champion should have been ours!"

Yukimura didn't say anything.

He pretended not to see the emotion in Sanada's eyes.

He thought that as a qualified minister and a qualified friend, he should tolerate Xiao Xunran's stubbornness.

The main candidates of Lihai University took a group photo around the medal of the Kanto competition.

They didn't care much about the champion of the Kanto Contest.

But last year's story told them the importance of the lion fighting the rabbit with all its strength.

They decided to cherish every grade they got.

after all……

Time to be together is running out.Cherish every day, and cherish the fate that they can get together and become teammates to fight together.

After saying hello to the acquaintances of Hyotei, Seigaku, and Jinde Middle School who also entered the national competition, everyone in Lihai planned to go to the parking lot of the tennis park and take a car back to Kanagawa.

When they walked out of the court, Kurobe and Saito came to meet them.

It looked like they were waiting for them.

Yukimura was a little flattered: "Coach?"

"Congratulations on winning the Kanto Championship," Kurobe said.

Yukimura smiled and thanked: "The champion of the national competition is our goal."

Saito blinked: "Sitianbaoji is your strong rival. Nagoya Xingtoku, where Tokugawa is working, has also received a lot of foreign aid this year. But I'm not worried about you."

"Many coaches have praised you." Yukimura paused, "You guys are waiting for us here, do you have anything important to say?"

Kurobe nodded: "Next week, the Tennis Association will send out training invitations to elite players from schools participating in the Kanto Competition. This year's Kanto Youth Training Camp will start directly on the first day after the high school unified final exam. The time is one week. , there will be a friendly match in a week's time."

"It's the same in previous years." Yukimura nodded.

"The opponent we invited for this year's friendly match is the U.S. team from the World Cup." Kurobe glanced at Yukimura and emphasized, "Echizen Ryoma will also participate."

"Echizen-kun...as a member of the US team?" Yukimura frowned.

Kurobe nodded: "That's right. In addition, this year's Kanto Youth Training Camp will have our U17 coaches directly participate in a week of training as the training camp coaching staff, which can be regarded as preparation for the U17 joint training in August. I know You may consider not participating in the Kanto Youth Training Camp due to time constraints, but this time the Youth Training Camp is different, so I hope all of you can participate.”

Yukimura understood what Kurobe meant.

Both the first country and the second country have received invitations for youth training, but the youth training at that time... was really meaningless.

He was also discharged from the hospital when he was in his third year of junior high school, and he only let Sanada, Liu and Kirihara go to the training camp.

Theoretically, all the members of the team that won the Kanto Championship will participate in the training camp. At that time, because they were only the runner-up, Yukimura also declined the invitation of most people to participate in the training.

But this time...

"We will." Yukimura agreed.

Not to mention that this time the opponent is the US team, who was the opponent in the World Cup finals before. Just the fact that Echizen Ryoma will be the opponent makes him very motivated.

To beat him.Yukimura will not miss this opportunity.

"Okay, let me tell you Yukimura-kun will not refuse." Saito said to Kurobe with a smile.

Kurobe still had a cold face, but his expression was quite gentle.

He was about to say goodbye to these students, and as if he suddenly remembered something, he asked, "I heard that you are looking for a tennis coach?"

Yukimura became serious: "Yes. After winning the Kanto Contest, there is a high probability that the school will agree to this request.... Do you have any candidates to recommend?"

As a student, it is not easy to find a qualified coach.

But to completely let the school find... Yukimura is really not at ease.

Although there is only the last year left, even if it is the last year, he still has to train in school while studying.It's harder than finding your own personal trainer.

Of course Kurobe understands Yukimura's difficulties.

And as an elite coach belonging to the Tennis Association (Saito: You think so.), Kurobe's network of contacts is also very wide.Lihai University is such a famous private school, being a coach here is actually a very good job.Both parties can sell favors, and Kurobe is very willing to do this kind of thing.

He gave Yukimura a business card: "You probably need a theoretical coach who is better at sports science."

"Thank you." Yukimura took the business card.

Kurobe nodded, waved his hands, turned his head and walked away with Saito and Takumi who had been silent.
