Lehigh High School Boys Tennis Club

Chapter 45 Before the Game

The list of matches was sent to the contestants in a group message the night before the match, giving a little time to buffer.

Singles three is no two, doubles two is Nioh and Mitsuya, singles two is Yukimura, doubles one is Sanada and Sengoku, singles one is Mori.

At the same time, the US team's playing list also told them.

Chico Balantine in singles three, Donnis James and John Bruce in doubles two, Echizen Ryoma in singles two, Clive Miller and Don Joseph in doubles one, Rocky Merle in singles one di.

The players who received the news were in a delicate mood.

Yukimura saw himself in singles two, and saw that he would meet Echizen Ryoma in singles two.It made him very motivated.

And Mao Li was also stunned for a moment when faced with the information that asked him to play singles.He found that the coaching staff expected some extra from him in training camp, but he never seemed to meet the coaching staff's expectations.

If the first four games go 2-2...

Mao Li stared blankly at the screen for a while, his expression was very calm, but he had already made up his mind: I will be the one who will bear the victory and defeat of the entire team, I can do it, and I must do it.

He understands that the coaching staff has always expected him to be the team leader.

Last year, he was the only player in the first grade who was in the first grade. When he went out for a round-robin overseas practice match, several seniors also said something very broad and heavy about "taking care of Japan's future".

He had never been expected to do this before.

Even if he is a "genius", his always-free attitude towards the tennis team and his negativity towards training prevent him from being the one to take on heavy responsibilities.When he came to Lihai, Lihai's minister was already Yukimura who led his seniors to win the national championship, and at Shitenpoji, Hiraishi's senior also directly appointed Shiraishi as the minister when Shiraishi entered the first grade.

The succession of Sitianbao Temple has always started very early. At the beginning, he also directly competed with Yuan Zheye.He is stronger than that guy Yuan Zheye, but... things like ministers are not just related to strength.

It was Ochi who changed him.

Maori has become more and more aware of this over the years.

If it wasn't for the miserable first round of the Kanto Tournament where he was swept away [-]-[-], he wouldn't have been aroused to be competitive in tennis - before that, tennis was too easy for him , Even if you don't practice, you can win.

But it was precisely because of the smooth past that made his tragic failure so unforgettable.

Then he met Yukimura, who was "working hard" during his recovery.From such Yukimura, he discovered what is called the belief that "regard tennis as more important than life".

So he participated in the autumn individual competition, worked hard to win the championship, was exceptionally selected into the U17 training camp, and directly played from the No.16 court to the No. [-] court in the internal assessment, and then passed the First Army Challenge.

During that process, Yuezhi helped him a lot.

And after he became a member of the first army, he directly became Yuezhi's partner, honing his skills in practice games in more than a dozen countries and becoming more mature.

He has always been protected.

Known by Oshi, also by Yukimura.

It's really embarrassing to talk about being protected by juniors.

Maori thought, have I thought about being the one who walks ahead and shields others from wind and rain?I'm still doing well as a senior, right?

Despite thinking this way, Mao Li still understands that what he has done is not enough.

This is probably another opportunity given to him by the coaching staff.If you haven't caught it this time, maybe it will be the last time.

It is an opportunity to become No.1, the leader of the World Cup team, and the successor of the era.

If you haven't seized this opportunity this time, and want to get that opportunity again...

Maori thought of those disputes at the Tokugawa Peace Institute.

Now this opportunity to be the No. 1 candidate by default was won by Tokugawa's "hitting the wall" time and time again.

And Yukimura wanted to become the No.1 challenger, but also overcame the test of illness, and proved himself to get it in training camps and competitions time and time again.

He played well in the game, but obviously the spirit he showed in training camp was not up to the standards of the coaches.

Do I want to be No.1?

Maori had always resisted the burden that the coach put in front of him like this.He didn't want to take over this, he didn't set himself that high.

But gradually he felt that he underestimated himself too much.If you don't even seize the opportunity to fight for it, it would be too inferior.

Ochi told him several times in this training camp, "Shou Saburo, you are great, but you can do better.

He was a little aggrieved at first.

But he lost to Yukimura three times in a row.

He thought later, forget it, Yukimura is his minister, there is no shame in losing to Yukimura.

Now he remembered the look in Yue Zhi's eyes when he said "you can do better".

Molly wants to try.

He doesn't want to disappoint those who expect him.

...and don't want to disappoint Ochi either.

Moonlight Mulberry.Maori turned off the phone screen, ready to go to bed early and get up early.

He thought, I hope I don't lose sleep today.

On the other hand, King Ren who received the news was not surprised by such an arrangement.

The surprise is that his partner is Mitsuya, and the surprise is that he is placed in the doubles position.

After careful calculation, my own style of play may be very suitable for players with data streams.

In fact, Lihai University has internally evaluated that the combination of him and Liu will be very strong in doubles.The reason why this combination failed to take shape (playing occasionally, it will not become a fixed combination) is only because his and Liu's personalities are not suitable.

Not to the extent that Sanada and Sanada hate each other, but they are somewhat mutually exclusive.Nioh somewhat resents being understood, and it is "creepy" to think about the complete data collected by Liu (there is no wrong adjective).As for Liu, Nioh knew that Liu had always been dissatisfied with his previous frivolous attitude towards tennis and the game.The reason why there is no outbreak is also because Liu and Liusheng have a good relationship, and Nioh has been playing games with Liusheng.

The phantom's tricks have eased Nioh's rejection of data tennis.

Even if he can cooperate well with Data Tennis, he can do the best without revealing too much personal information.

King Nio didn't understand the senior Mitsuya.

He only knew that Liu had a close relationship with this senior, and it was said that Liu's stat tennis was learned from Mitsuya.

Moreover, at the beginning of the training camp, Liu was selected ahead of this senior, but he was not selected for the competition list because he was defeated by this senior head-on twice (doubles, once, and singles). Individuals can feel it.

In other words, it was Tanejima who revealed it to them on purpose.

That being the case...maybe it will be very harmonious together?

Nioh, who was thinking this way, received a message from an unfamiliar number, signing Mitsuya.

"Niou-kun, if you have time, how about the data I received about our opponent tomorrow? ——Mitsuya Akuto"

Nioh and Mitsuya made an appointment to make a phone call.

He gave Mitsuya's mailbox and received the detailed information from Mitsuya.

Downes James, John Bruce.

Both of these two players were selected to the US team through the selection competition this year. They are both freshmen in high school and both registered professional qualifications at the beginning of the year.strong.It is precisely because he did not accept the invitation of the US team to participate in the professional trials last year.

But the U.S. team failed to win the World Cup, so the U.S. Tennis Association increased its invitations.

Both of these two players achieved good results in last year's professional competition, and they have gained a firm foothold in the youth professional game. Choose to participate in the World Cup team competition to hone your skills.

"From the information I collected, these two players have no record of doubles matches before, but from part of the game information I collected, it can be seen that their technical abilities are matched, and they also participated in the training camp of the US team. There won’t be any major problems.” Mitsuya said, “I found the video of the game in the rehabilitation mail, and I only selected a video of their most recent game, and it’s too late to analyze it in detail. It is only for reference. The coaching staff and training intensity of the U.S. national team are quite large, and they have been constantly cultivating new players. Reinhardt, who was the captain of the U.S. team last year and will be the team leader tomorrow, is the U.S. team The coaching staff directly selected seedlings from the youth group, so they have been playing for the US team for several years. Their ability to train players is very strong."

"That is, the game video and the information you sent, can only be used as a reference, right?" King Ni asked.

"That's right. Their style won't change a lot." Mitsuya said with certainty, "Doubles training will definitely take them a lot of time. I actually took a look at the two players in the doubles one. Clive Miller last year In the second year of high school, he was a member of the US doubles team last year. His performance in the finals last year was quite satisfactory. Don Joseph is a player in the third year of junior high school. There is no public record of the competition. It seems that he just selected a good performance from the middle school students. Let’s see if we can cooperate with Clive Miller. In comparison, our opponent is the doubles player that the US team focuses on training.”

King Ren responded, "I understand."

He paused, and said with a smile: "Actually, you can use other judgment methods, senior. You and I will be doubles two. Naturally, our opponent is the key training target of the American team."

"Mr. Nioh, are you so confident?" Mitsuya also laughed.

Nioh dragged his tone: "Our doubles are Sanada and Sengoku. Compared with doubles, we must be better than them, piyo~"

"I like your confidence, Nioh-kun."

Mitsuya finally explained the information he provided, and emphasized the points worth noting.Nioh hung up the phone and found several missed calls in the background.He had set his phone to silent mode before, and he didn't notice other missed calls in the background when chatting with Senior Mitsuya.

Nioh called back and waited a while.

His tone was a little strange: "Liu Sheng, do you need me urgently?"

On the other end of the phone, Liu Sheng's voice was very calm: "No, it's just that I heard that you have received the list of players. Would you mind telling me that you will play tomorrow?"

"Aren't you going to watch the game if I don't play?" Nioh joked.

"It's not impossible." Liu Sheng said.

Nioh smiled and said, "I am doubles two, and my partner is Mitsuya."

Liu Sheng was silent for a moment, and soon understood the intention of the coaching staff's arrangement.He didn't talk much, just let King Ren take a good rest and don't stay up too late at night.

"Understood, Mr. Gentleman." Niwang hung up the phone, thinking about calling every day during the World Cup, and no longer calling every day after school started, and because he joined the training camp as soon as the holidays entered, and got along day and night, which made him I am not used to receiving calls from Liu Sheng again.

The author has something to say:

The relationship between Nioh and Yagyu is the relationship between the official formula and writing that the daily routine during the Yagyu World Cup is to communicate with Nioh. (But I can't remember exactly whether the translator calls every day or meets every day).

Tsk tsk tsk, the official really sends out a lot of sugar.

Then at the same time, he told the interview that Yagyu's laser beam was an expression of his passionate love for his senior during his crush.

It's so touching.
