Lihai University full-time sparring

As soon as June passed, the Kanto Competition came as scheduled.

Li Haida and Bingdi are not divided into a group, and the game time is staggered.After getting up early in the morning to accompany Saki after practice, Morikawa changed his clothes and rushed to Tokyo to join Yukimura, Sanada, and Renji.Because they played in the afternoon, they wore uniform uniforms, except for Morikawa who didn't have to play.

"How is it?" Morikawa asked.

"The progress of the other groups is about the same as we expected. The most unexpected is the Ice Emperor, whose strength has improved a lot compared to our last match." Lian Er's expression was not relaxed.

The doubles had already been played, but Morikawa didn't catch up. He looked at the scoreboard and won 0-2.What is going on is a singles three match.Morikawa looked at the match list on the electronic screen, and it was Atobe who played.

His opponent is a transfer student who went to junior high school in France and has just returned to China. He is a sports student and he is very tall.Morikawa has watched his games and paid close attention to him—this buddy is very athletic, and he obviously likes to use European and American styles of play, so his strength should not be underestimated.

To Morikawa's surprise, Atobe did not lose the wind at all in the fight. The first few rounds were still deadlocked, and the latter was basically crushed.He played against Atobe on the outdoor tennis court more than a month ago. Although it was for fun, his overall level has a bottom line. Today's Atobe is not the same as that day.

"Large behind puts opponents at a psychological disadvantage and affects their own performance. It's unbelievable that they have made such a big improvement." Morikawa said, he glanced at Bingdi's coach seat, and said in surprise: " Has their coach changed? Wasn’t the high school coach a woman? Why is the coach today a man?”

"I think this is the hidden trump card of Hyodi." Yukimura was also very serious, "He was not in the Metropolitan Assembly before, and he should have just taken office recently. Does Morikawa-kun see him familiar? He is a former Japanese professional golfer, He has been active in the world competition stage before.”

"No wonder, I remembered when you said that. I found a video for you to watch before. I remember that he won the third place in the World Open. The world ranking is not bad. Is it because of injuries that he retired?"

Lian Er took out his notebook and flipped through it: "It seems that because of his personality, he has a lot of conflicts with the sponsor. It is reported that he is a football fanatic and hates getting along with others. I don't know how Bingdi invited him."

Sanada said: "He plays aggressively, and I don't know if it was influenced by him. These Ice Emperor games ended very quickly, and the players are more aggressive than before."

"Scoring awareness has improved." Morikawa practiced with them during this time, hoping from the bottom of his heart that Li Haida could regain the three consecutive championships in high school.Seeing that the three of them were all mature and prudent, he thought to himself, why are you so nervous, as a high school student, you should be more innocent!The faces and auras of these guys are seriously inconsistent with their age.

He took off his baseball cap and fanned himself: "But I think it's a good thing." He received the eyes of the three of them, and said slowly: "This is how tennis is played. Every day there are rookies, and every day there are people who make breakthroughs." I myself have achieved a qualitative leap in technology, which makes people feel a sense of crisis. But don’t you think this is very good? More powerful opponents keep appearing, and confronting masters is really exciting and blood-boiling. The interest in the game is lacking, and it is not interesting to slap the opponent. I think that you, as the Big Three, are also longing for the appearance of a strong enemy in your heart."

Sanada said: "That's natural, Li Haida never relaxes!"

Yukimura smiled: "Will Morikawa-kun be excited on the court?"

"Haha, why should I be so excited to feed you the ball? I always maintain my professional ethics as a full-time training partner of Lihai University. Do you want a drink of water? I'm too thirsty when I come here. Go buy something to drink."

After Morikawa left, Yukimura asked, "Yanagi, how much information on Morikawa have you collected?"

"Maybe 70%, maybe less. He practiced with different people on the team, all based on the playing style and level of different people in the team. I haven't seen who he is struggling with. He made a lot of mistakes before. , With the increase in the amount of training, the mistakes are greatly reduced now, and his ball control can only be described as terrible. Jingshi, you are the fastest in the department, and there is no problem with him catching up with your speed."

Sanada said: "I practiced with him, and I couldn't see his limit at all. But Yukimura should have retained his strength, and he didn't have the five senses to destroy Morikawa."

Yukimura said slowly, "Who says I'm not destroyed?"

As soon as this remark came out, the other two were greatly shocked.

Yukimura nodded: "It can't be destroyed. The real strength of a person who is not controlled by my five senses is really exciting."

After chatting for a few words, Morikawa had already bought drinks and came back, and handed everyone a can, "It seems that Ice Emperor has locked the final seat of the Kanto Competition in advance. As long as we don't make mistakes, the final opponent is them. During this period of time, their competition Take it back with the match list and study it, and then decide the order in which we will play in the end?"

"Well, doubles still needs to focus on practice." Sanada said.

Since Morikawa is a singles player, there are not as many instructions for doubles as for singles.But the consciousness is there, and when I was practicing in the club before my debut, I didn't confirm the final development for a while, and I also played doubles with others, so I naturally mastered more than amateur students.

According to Xu Feigang's setting, each of Qingxue and Bingdi can perform supernormally on the field, that is to say, if you want to win, it is useless for you to be higher than your opponent, you must be much higher.

Next comes a more intense workout.In order to really train their game experience and psychological endurance, Morikawa changed his usual lazy style of play and devoted himself in actual combat. No matter what the opponent was, he never underestimated the enemy and concentrated all the way to the last point.

The hell-style training has greatly enhanced his own abilities, and he can barely meet his expectations.

Morikawa and Yukimura played in person. Marui and Yagyu were often abused in doubles, and it was difficult to win even if they won.During the break, Morikawa went to find his sister Saki, and Marui said weakly, "Minister, why didn't Morikawa enter the main election? Fighting with you two devils, my psychological shadow is about to come out."

Yukimura didn't answer.

Lian Er, who was packing his schoolbag at the side, replied: "Jingshi approached Morikawa. He didn't want to, saying that it was impossible to devote himself to the tennis club. He had to practice with his sister every morning and weekend, and usually only met for a few hours in the afternoon. In the tennis department, he still has to study hard. And his desire for victory is not as strong as ours, and he himself is not at ease with himself."

Nioh Masaharu said: "The above reasons are acceptable."

Yagyu Hiroshi took over the words: "Is the desire for victory not strong? Obviously, when he is on the court, his emotions are much higher than usual. He is a typical arena-type player."

Mori Kosaburo lazily said: "His concentration on the court is really scary."

Sanada didn't let this topic go any further: "Why, do you want Morikawa to replace you as the main candidate so much? You don't have confidence in Li Haida handing it over to us?"

Jackal Sanghara explained for his teammates: "Wentai is just curious. If you talk about confidence, there should never be a moment when you are more confident than now. Recently, everyone has improved too much. Even if Bingdi has a professional tennis player as a coach? We are The king stands in the sea, and the three consecutive championships that were not completed in the elementary school must be completed in high school."

This is the goal and ideal of all Li Hai's main elections. Just because he failed once, he must prove himself with his own strength.

Bearing responsibility and pressure, full of confidence and belief, the final of the Kanto Competition is coming.

First up is Doubles 2.Marui/Jackal vs Ninjazu/Mukai combination.

According to Lihai's big practice, the cheerleaders generally will not enter the arena.But Morikawa was an exception. He was wearing a white T-shirt and stood among a group of khaki school uniforms, which was particularly conspicuous.

The opening game was very smooth, you come and go.Both sides have been partners for a long time, so there is no tacit understanding, and as old opponents, they are familiar with each other's style of play.

The first game was Bingdi's serve. With his flexible positioning, Xiangri could always find opportunities to get on the net and keep his serve smoothly.

It was Marui's turn to serve.He practiced serving hard recently, with a tricky angle, and hit an ACE on the first ball.

The second ball was still served beautifully. Ninjazu caught the ball and pulled it diagonally. The Jackal hit back in time. Xiangri volleyed in the midfield. The timing of the catch was faster than usual. Was culled by Xiangri and scored.

"Ninzuzu's return is a bit level. Marui's serve speed is considered fast. He can also play some spins, causing the Jackal to return the ball higher than usual. Xiang Hi seems to have calculated the timing of his return and is in position ahead of time. , Even if Marui reacts quickly, it won’t help.” Morikawa felt a little interesting, and said, “Marui has been targeted.”

Kirihara didn't play today, so he also came to watch the game.He was puzzled and said, "Why do you say that? It's Kuwahara-senpai who obviously returns the ball with poor quality."

Yagyu explained: "With Marui's character, I must feel that it was my mistake to play a high ball in front of the net."

"They have practiced a lot of new routines for this pair. Look at this ball, and the backhand from Hitohito hits just behind Marui's feet, and it is difficult for him to return. Kuwahara catches the ball, hits the ball to the backcourt, and endures When hitting, he deliberately raised his arm to make Marui feel that it must be a big diagonal, and went to the backcourt to make up. The result was a false move, and he hit a short ball with his feet, and Marui was forced to come back. Marui's footwork was flexible, and he returned to his position with small steps , In this situation, he also put a good ball, but the position is too far away, if Xiang Ri hits the reverse ball, neither of them can save it."

Kirihara said anxiously: "Then what should I do, will this Kumarui-senpai feel that it was his mistake again, and he didn't even see the fake action!"

The field changes rapidly, unless you know your opponent very well and have a lot of experience, it is common for fake moves to be invisible.

Lian Er said: "Fake moves are not a problem. Everyone will have fake moves when they play. It's just that Renzu Xianghi played with ease. It seems that he has prepared a lot of backhands. No matter how Marui plays, he can always find a chance to score."

Nioh said: "Yagyu and I have fought this pair before, and the fight before was not as difficult as it is now."

Mao Li said: "That coach really has two brushes."

This round broke serve, the Ice Emperor led 0-2, and the cheerleaders on the opposite side were in high spirits.

Marui came back to have a drink, "Hey, I didn't expect my brother to be so charismatic and target me like this. Really, it's okay for the minister to abuse me normally, and they still come to join in the fun."

Kirihara said: "Marui-senpai, why are you not nervous at all, you are two points behind!"

Marui said with a smile: "Why are you nervous, you don't know that I fight in the department and want to cry every day, what is this?"

Morikawa bent down and leaned his elbows on the railing: "Let 2 chase 6, there is no way, our Wentai is so beautiful."

Everyone laughed.

Sure enough, both of them played well behind the ball.Marui's backhand is very good now, as long as it is not hit at his feet, it will not pose any threat to him.Some routines are effective once, and they are countered immediately after being seen through. Marui even used fire to fight fire, and immediately cooperated with the jackal to score points with similar routines.

Morikawa couldn't help but comment: "Student Jackal is really reliable. No matter what ball Marui wants to play, even if it's just a rise, he can catch it and steadily create opportunities for the frontcourt."

Kirihara felt the same: "Kuwahara-senpai has always been like this, so Marui-senpai always said that he is the most comfortable partner."

The result was similar to what Morikawa predicted, winning 3-6.

When Marui returned to the field, Morikawa praised: "The jackal played very well."

Marui said airily: "Of course, he is my partner!"

The jackal gave Morikawa an embarrassed look, his neck turned red with embarrassment.Morikawa smirked, thinking to himself, the jackal must be what his sister said, so virtuous.

Doubles 1, Mori Hisaburo/Nioh vs Shishido/Akutagawa.There is not much suspense. Although Akutagawa's skills in the middle surprised everyone a little, he lost to Li Haida 2-6 in the end.

When King Ni left the stage, Morikawa asked, "How do you feel?"

"not bad."

When he left, Morikawa smiled and handed a bottle of drink to Lianji next to him.

Lian Er also accepted it with a smile.

The author has something to say:

Yukimura: My five senses, such a powerful magic doesn't work on Morikawa, he is simply a master of heaven!

Morikawa: Haha, do you know about self-contained purification?
