Lihai University full-time sparring

Once the national competition is over, there are only ten days before the start of the second semester.Taking advantage of the children not having to practice, the parents of several members of the tennis club arranged a trip.

As early as May Lian Er's family planned to travel, but Lian Er was absent because of the tennis club.The family made up a trip, a domestic self-driving tour, about five or six days.Marui, Nioh, Yagyu and others also have their own arrangements.

The Morikawa family also arranged a trip, but because of the accident of Zaoji's mother, it ended up being nothing.However, Morikawa himself is not very close to his family, and apart from Zaoji, he has little interest in traveling.Now it's time to relax, do your own thing, and relax.

The finals of the junior high school group of the National Tennis Competition were after high school, and Qing Xue and Li Haida entered the finals.Morikawa deliberately took the time to guide Kirihara and study the formation of troops.Because of Qingxue's lack of talent, only Echizen, Taoshiro, and Kaidang can actually play. In order to ensure that they can win, these three must be singles.

Morikawa predicted their order of appearance and ranked Kirihara second in singles.Sure enough, they met Taocheng, Kirihara won, and with two doubles victories, the junior high school also won the championship.

After that, I was free.

I still get up early every day to practice with Zao Ji, basically three hours a day.If I have time after training, I will go swimming and practice my heart and lungs.Take a nap at noon, browse the forum, preview the content to be tutored after school starts in the afternoon, and read notes and textbooks.In the evening, I chatted with Lian Er about interesting things during the journey, and Li Hai chatted with everyone when the group chat was lively.

Five days passed leisurely, and one night three days before school started, Yukimura suddenly had a private chat with Morikawa.

Yukimura: Are you free tomorrow?

Morikawa: Yes, what are your orders, Minister?

Yukimura: Come to the tennis club to play a game?formal.

Morikawa was surprised, didn't think too much, and typed: OK, what time?

Yukimura: How about five in the afternoon?

Morikawa: See you tomorrow.

Morikawa felt a little strange about making an appointment with Yukimura.Simply want to learn from each other?If this is the case, it will be too late when the school starts, why do you choose it when everyone is away?

Morikawa subconsciously wanted to tell Lian Er about this, and the words were typed in the chat box, and after thinking about it, he deleted them.Since it was a private contract with him, maybe Yukimura didn't want others to know.

In order to save energy, on this day, Morikawa and Zaoji simply practiced the net ball and did not go swimming. At 04:30, he rushed to the school tennis court to warm up.

Yukimura and him came back and forth, and began to warm up.

It was August and the afternoon was hot, but five o'clock was relatively nice.Tennis games are basically played outdoors, and playing against the sun is no stranger to Morikawa.

Before the opening, Yukimura walked up to Morikawa with a serious face: "Please compete with me without reservation."

Morikawa said with a smile: "I used to fight with you without reservation."

Yukimura shook his head: "I mean, like in an official game, devote yourself wholeheartedly, just like being in a real top stadium."

With a firm look on his face, Morikawa thought for a while and nodded.Putting on the hat and walking to the field, he thought for a while and said, "Wait for me first, I will take off my pants."

He took off his trousers.No matter who he is practicing with, he always wears long trousers. Being able to change into shorts before the official game like in his previous life represents his recognition and respect for the other party.

The first game was Yukimura's serve.As soon as he came up, he was full of aura, and his style of play was very sharp. Morikawa felt the pressure immediately, and guessed that Yukimura had already used the five senses on him.

He returned the ball, and the speed was also very fast.

Yukimura, since you let me use my full strength, then I will fight you as a real opponent.Everyone wondered why he was not in the main draft, did not play the game, and even wondered if he was afraid of losing.In fact, for him, the arena really haunts his dreams. In his dreams, he returns to the arena countless times to compete with his former opponents.When I woke up, I regretted the status quo and was excited by the scene in my dream.

He loves the game so much, he was born for it.

As a professional player, when he has no reservations, even if he uses a body that is severely under-trained, he can still beat the opponent with his skills.Of course there is a big gap between his current speed and his professional time ratio, but that doesn't matter, the opponent is only a 15-year-old boy.

The first game was broken without incident.

Morikawa served in the second game.The quality of his serve cannot be simply described as "high".When Yukimura returns the ball, he moves quickly, with accurate prediction and flexible positioning. When he actually hits the ball, he has a very stable foot and very few mistakes.

Li Haida's main candidate is training hard, so why isn't he?After this period of improvement, his own turnover rate has fallen off a cliff.

Yukimura was suppressed at the beginning, which he had never encountered in previous games, even against Takayuki Ishihara, he had never felt such a great pressure.But as the Son of God, his mental strength is amazing. He not only gritted his teeth to stabilize his mind, but also gradually recovered his usual state from the disrupted rhythm.

In the last ball of the second game, every ball of Morikawa hides a secret. It seems that it has no lethality, but it is actually paving the way for the next ball.After several back and forth, Yukimura hit the ball in the frontcourt. Morikawa caught up with the ball and returned it at a slightly faster speed than normal. Yukimura noticed it immediately when he returned the ball, and was forced to give up the pat and hit the backcourt.

Morikawa received the ball and played it on the sideline of the singles, and Yukimura lost points.

0-2 Morikawa leads.

In the third game, Yukimura adjusted his mentality and played back slowly, trying to find Morikawa's dead corner in the return.This is not easy, because Morikawa has a strong running ability and the ball is stable, and there are very few opportunities for him to catch loopholes.Because ordinary people have weak backhands, Yukimura frequently hits Morikawa backhands.

Yukimura didn't know that in his previous life, Morikawa was praised the most for his "unparalleled backhand slice" and "changeable forehand". The midfielder with the backhand on the net, because the rebound height of the ball is low, the opponent returns the ball very shallowly. When he returned to the midfielder, he used his signature forehand to score.

Not to mention the backhand topspin, the angle is very open. Many viewers commented on his game: "His backhand technique is too superb, it is unimaginable that Asian players can also play such a technique."

Yukimura lost another round.

In the fourth game, Morikawa did not relax.Yukimura seems to have returned to when he was young and just played, because he couldn't play, he always lost and was ridiculed.But he never conceded defeat, gritted his teeth and persisted. He played every game in adversity, and it only took a short time from being blocked to overtaking his opponent.

He has stood on the top of the king for too long, and he has long forgotten the sense of urgency when he played, the constant worry that he would not be able to return the next ball, and the determination to cut off the wrist of a strong man who desperately wanted to get points from the opponent!He didn't dare to slack off for a second, with unprecedented concentration and concentration, the fourth and fifth rounds were finally won by Yukimura after a long stalemate.

After the exchange of venues, the passion hidden in Morikawa's heart was fully stimulated!During the previous practice, Marui said that he was very calm every time he played, and he never saw any fluctuations in mood, so he was very stable.Morikawa just smiled at that time.

No one knows that Morikawa is actually a hot-blooded type of play. The more frustrated he becomes, the more excited he is, and his state will get better and better.Players who have played against him in the past say there is no way to take him.He never underestimated the enemy, and secondly, he was not afraid of losing. When he fell behind, he chased the opponent fiercely. At this time, he couldn't provoke him at all.

This is youth, strength and vitality!Older players have to choose a safe and experienced style of play because of their physical fitness, but since he is still young, why not use the capital God gave him!

People block and kill people, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas.Morikawa's emotions were unprecedentedly high, the situation was like breaking through, and he was in no man's land. In the last three games, Yukimura was not given a chance to breathe, and the game ended steadily with 6-2.

After playing the game, we shook hands.Morikawa did not choose to talk to Yukimura, but drank a drink, put a towel on his head to cover the sun, and quickly calmed down his excited mood.This is his habit after playing.

After calming down, he wiped his sweat and changed his clothes on the spot.Seeing that Yukimura was still sitting on the ground, Morikawa went over to pull him up and sat on the bench together.

"Suddenly asked me to play ball, what's the matter?" Morikawa handed Yukimura's drink to him.

Yukimura didn't answer him, took a sip, and asked, "Morikawa, is this what it feels like to be a professional?"

Morikawa thought, sure enough.He thought for a while, "What do you think a career is? It is a career to support yourself, your family, and your team. Since it is a means of earning a living, you will have nothing to eat if you fall behind. I don't know the level of professional athletes. I am tall, and much taller. Not just one, but many. With so many professional players, there are too few who can really make a name for themselves, very few, and most of them only hover in the first and second rounds of the Open."

"Many people think they are talented. But after eating this food, the most important thing is talented people. Without talent, how can they be discovered and embark on this path."

Morikawa leaned on the bench and stared up at the leaves above: "I know you have received an invitation letter, and other foreign clubs have offered you an olive branch before, but as a friend, I really want to say, don't think it's just an enthusiasm , a little bit of talent, a little bit of persistence and you feel you can do it, that’s too basic.”

"And there is a big difference between men's tennis and women's tennis. Do you know why I dare to promise Zaoji that she will be sent to the national competition stage? Men's and women's bodies are different, girls lack strength, and their ability to fight against boys will improve rapidly Men are different, there are people who are faster, stronger and more skilled than you. Maybe you represent the top level of Japanese teenagers now, but in the world, it is nothing at all."

Yukimura listened without saying a word.

"I don't want to pour cold water on you, but I just advise you to think clearly. This road is too difficult and hard to walk. In the low point of your career, no one can help you. It's hard to say whether you can get up."

Yukimura raised his head, unexpectedly, there was no confusion in his eyes, but calm and firm.

Morikawa guessed that he had already made a decision, and sighed: "But no matter how difficult it is, the road is made by people. I only knew a professional player who really broke his head and couldn't get back. Played like a masochist, and finally got a good result." Then, he is sitting next to you.

Yukimura stared at a certain point in the distance, with indescribable emotions hidden in his eyes: "The teammates of Lihai University, they trust me so much, everyone cried the day they lost to Qingxue in junior high school. I swear with tears in my eyes that I must lead the team in high school. Everyone achieved three consecutive victories. If you leave, how will you face the oath you once made?"

"Minister, you underestimate the team members." Morikawa stroked his hair back: "Lihai University is at the national level. Of course it will be difficult to win the game without you, but who dares to say that Lihai University will definitely win the game?" Will you lose? The professional player I know met his childhood friend many years later, and the other party said, "It's been so many years since I watched you play, and I can't take my eyes off it. You've improved so fast, it's shocking. Think of yourself When I played against you when I was young, I thought it was unbelievable, as expected, there is no comparison with professional players.'”

He screwed the lid on the drink. "We can't be together all the time. After high school, we will be separated and still be together. After college, we will go on different career paths. If you do leave to prepare for a career, just put The separation was brought forward, and the result was no different. In our ministry, it is estimated that no one will engage in tennis-related careers in the future."

Yukimura nodded, his tone relaxed, with a faint smile on his lips, staring at him, and said gently: "Morikawa, will you stay in Lihai University?"

"As long as there are no accidents, it should be."

"Then would you like to be the head of the tennis department?"

Morikawa opened his eyes wide, good guy, after talking for so long, here is what he really wanted to say.Play a game to test your strength first, and then entrust the cubs to him?

Morikawa shook his head and smiled softly: "No, I can't do it, I'm usually joking and joking without dignity."

"Prestige is not the criterion for being a minister. The Baishi of Sitianbao Temple is also an approachable character. You may not have realized that during this period of time you have trained with everyone, whether it is ball skills or understanding of the ball, you are much higher than everyone. Invisibly, everyone already trusts you very much."

Morikawa thought about it carefully, but still refused: "No, when you become a minister, you grow old quickly, haha, you see Sanada is worried about the department, too young to be old, and now girls like fresh meat, too old to find in college Object." He paused, "Besides, you are Li Haida's eternal spiritual pillar. If you leave, I don't think Li Hai will elect a minister. I can do everything in the tennis club. I wasn’t a minister before, and I wasn’t even in the main election. I haven’t practiced with you for so long. For me, everyone is a young partner with motivation and ideals. It feels very happy to make progress together .”

As soon as the words fell, a series of chaotic footsteps came.

Morikawa and Yukimura were taken aback. Seeing Sanada coming with his staff, Yukimura asked in surprise, "Sanada, didn't you come alone?"

"I'm sorry Yukimura, I guessed that you were looking for Morikawa because of the World Trials, so I asked the team members to come here privately. We watched your game on the third floor of the activity room. Have you decided yet?"

Everyone was busy, Lian Er, Liu Sheng and others who were expected to arrive in the afternoon were still wearing tourist cultural shirts.

Yukimura's voice was the same as before: "Yes."

Morikawa felt that he had only joined the club for a few months, and of course his relationship was not as good as those of them who had been together for several years.Guessing that Yukimura had something to say to the members, he stood up: "Then tell me first, I'll go to the activity room to take a shower."

Only two steps out of the tennis court, the phone rang suddenly.He took it out and saw that it was the message from Lian Er.

Lian Er: There is no hot water during the holidays. If the water is cold, don't wash for too long, or you will catch a cold.

Morikawa looked at the screen and smiled, and replied: OK.
