Lihai University full-time sparring

Walking towards the stadium, passing by the vending machine, a few boys in other school uniforms bought drinks and were about to leave.

Morikawa walked behind them and heard their conversation.

"Lihai has a winning streak in doubles, but a losing streak in singles. It's a 2-2 tie. It's really unexpected."

"Could it be that last year's champion team will fail in the first round of the Kanto Competition? Without Yukimura's Li Haida, it may be difficult to stand on the podium of the national championship this year."

"I can't say that. Lihai University has always been the strength of the whole country. It's just that Ice Emperor has made great progress this year. He has been invincible all over the Kanto. Last year, he was second in the country. This year, I think he will become the first."

"Who will Atobe play next? Morikawa? I haven't even heard of this name, and I don't think I've seen him play before. Since Li Haida put him in the singles 1 position, I think his strength will not be bad. But he is facing Atobe, Atobe has always had a high winning percentage in the final game, and now it is not very hot after five o'clock, as long as it drags into the tiebreaker, it will be very difficult for the opponent to win against him."

"Seiichi Morikawa, in the doubles match held in Atobe last year, he and Ike won the championship. I was there in the final, and I thought he cooperated well with Ike, and his skills were very good. But it was more because of the physical exertion of the opponent. It has nothing to do with it, and there is a big difference between doubles and singles. Generally speaking, I am more optimistic about Atobe.”

Morikawa didn't say a word. When he arrived at the arena, he took a rough look at the audience. There were three layers inside and three layers outside. There were more people than before.As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lian Er coming up to meet him, with his mouth pursed, he glanced at him, hesitant to speak.

Morikawa patted his arm with his hand, "It's okay, it's just one point, I'll take it back."

Lian Er nodded.

Morikawa smiled and said: "Your performance is great. There will be an official video of this game. When I go back, I will replay today's game with you, and I will gain a lot."

Marui jumped out from one side: "Morikawa, it's time to play! The referee is urging!"

"Okay, let's come." Morikawa stroked his hair and walked down a step, suddenly felt that his bangs were a bit long and blocked his eyes.He took two steps up, stood in front of Zao Ji outside the barbed wire, and said, "Zao Ji, can you lend me two hairpins?"

Early Ji reacted quickly, and took two black hairpins from his head and handed them over.

Morikawa took it and pinned his bangs back on top of his head.

"Brother, come on!"

"Of course, look at me." Morikawa went down the steps and took off his trousers, leaving the shorts inside.He took the racket to the court, waited for the referee to finish his introduction, and shook hands with Atobe.

"As my opponent, you must fight with all your strength. In any case, you must not disappoint the expectations of Yukimura, who is far away in Switzerland, and don't ruin Li Haida's reputation." Atobe's expression was cool and flirtatious.

"Naturally, Atobe himself will work hard. You are the pillar of the ice emperor. If you lose, you will have nowhere to put your face."

Ruthless words were spoken to each other, and the game officially began.

The trace department debuted.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Morikawa has stood on a relatively large and formal arena after crossing. It stands to reason that with his style, he should be more excited.In fact, no, Lian Er's neither sad nor happy face kept circling in his mind before going on stage.

It is extremely dangerous to bring personal emotions onto the field. Players' reaction speed and judgment are closely related to their mental state. Playing too aggressively or with low emotions can easily affect the trend of the game.

What's more important is that this is a team competition, not an individual competition that Morikawa often plays.If it's an individual match, losing is nothing but elimination.The team competition is different, it is currently the match point game, and what he shoulders is not only the personal win or loss, but also the win or loss of all the players standing behind him.

Lian Er has collected a thick volume of information on Ice Empress players.The densely packed small characters inside, Morikawa was shocked beyond measure when he saw it for the first time.How much effort it took to achieve this, this painstaking effort is not allowed to disappoint.

Atobe has high demands on himself. After Ishihara joined, Atobe put in a hundred times of effort to finally return to the singles 1 position. His ball is not so easy to deal with.Morikawa was deeply emotional, and he still hit the ball back, but it was quite satisfactory, and there were no very brilliant shots.

Atobe's winning move was even more amazing than when they played against each other last year.Morikawa failed to break serve in the opening game, and when he reached his own serve, he lost because of two small mistakes. Atobe won two small games 0-2.

During the intermission, Morikawa stopped to drink water.Sanada on the coaching bench said: "Don't be affected by the performance of your teammates. It's just the Kanto competition, and there will be a rematch after that. Our goal is the whole country. Even if the road is rough, as long as we can reach it in the end."

Morikawa paused for a moment with his sweat-wiping hands.Sanada, who has always been serious, would actually say such things, so don't put too much pressure on him.As a former professional player, his ability to withstand pressure is naturally good. How can such a small game be difficult for him?

He nodded and glanced back at Lian Er.

Lian Er held a notebook in one hand and a pen in the other, leaning forward slightly towards the field.It is no longer the usual squinting, but looking in the direction of Morikawa with open eyes, as if wanting to say a word to him, the mouth opened, and the words froze in the throat again, the brows were slightly frowned, feeling worried. The color is beyond words.

Morikawa withdrew his gaze and thought to himself, the staff officer is usually calm and terrifying, and always looks the same before Mount Tai collapses. Why is he so nervous today? After knowing him for so long, don’t you feel at ease with him?

He raised his head to drink water, and his head happened to be facing the screen, which read 0-2 brightly.The bright red numbers had a hint of shock, and he realized that he didn't blame the staff and Sanada for their reactions, and the result of the game could explain everything.

He thought of Lian Er from time to time during the game just now, and now he makes others worry about him. Isn't this a vicious circle between the two of them?How would Lianji feel if he played in this state and lost the game?The moment he heard that Lian Er lost the game, his heart was full of pain. With Lian Er's responsible character, it would only be more painful than him.

He didn't want to see this scene.

He took the racket and went on the court, and suddenly smiled with the corners of his mouth on the halfway.It must be faster to enter the state. In a match that determines the outcome, play well and perform at your due level, which is also respect for Atobe.

He adjusted his state and slowly regained his previous style of play.Steady and steady, waiting for opportunities to create opportunities, the small score kept stalemate and tied.Although Atobe finally won the next round with a beautiful smash, Morikawa fell behind 0-3, but he has gradually returned to the right track.

It's not easy.But also, the word easy is to trample on other people's efforts.What he wants is a strong opponent, the feeling of chasing each other!

Morikawa's eyes were firm and full of fighting spirit, and he turned the wristband on his hand, forgetting the shouts of the audience outside the court and the cheers of his teammates on the court. He only had the court, the ball, and the opponent in his eyes.

Atobe's smashing power is strong and the ball is fast.Morikawa's chopping is unstoppable, and his signature backhand is even more flexible, with tricky and accurate placement. Every time he can hit the ball to the place where Atobu's return is barely possible, and then he hits the ball with a textbook forehand. field score.

He gradually became excited, his concentration improved, and he made every step of the way, defending like a fortified wall, and attacking like a broken arrow.Atobe is not a vegetarian. He uses the change of ball speed to mobilize Morikawa's position, intending to disrupt his rhythm and footwork.

After hitting the ball, Morikawa returned quickly, with a stable center of gravity, and ran quickly in eight directions diagonally from front to back, left, and right.Atobu pressed on every step of the way, but he never gave up, responded positively, and rarely made mistakes.

As a former professional player, the pace of the game was fast, and before the audience could react, Morikawa tied the score at 3-3 in an instant.

When changing venues, Atobe passed by him and laughed heartily: "That's right, you successfully attracted my uncle's attention."

Morikawa smiled back: "What nirvana does Atobe have, how about using it once?"

"Then you can show it to my uncle."

"Wait and see."

At the start of the 7th game, Atobe changed completely.It's like taking medicine. If the combat power was S before, then it is SSS now.The speed, strength, and physical toughness have all increased by one degree, and the prediction is very accurate. The moment Morikawa hits the ball, he is ready to fight back at the point of impact, which puts huge pressure on Morikawa.

Although Morikawa has never been able to see the special effects in the Wang Wang world, he has an intuition that this is the so-called "extending the limit" in Xu Feigang's painting.

After watching the animation when he was young, he didn't follow the drama very much. He only vaguely remembered the "limit of hard work". The current timeline is two years after the animation story of Wang Wang. It is normal for Atobe to have such cheats.

Let's not discuss the rationality first, the Atobe on the opposite side is really difficult.To be honest, no matter how powerful Atobe is, it is not enough in Morikawa's eyes.With the body of a professional athlete in his previous life, he could hit this kind of ball a hundred times, but the limit of this body is there. It is not easy for him to hit it back, let alone score.

Atobe won two games in a row and took a 5-3 lead again.

During the break, Morikawa came off to drink water, and Marui suddenly called him, and when he looked over, Marui clenched his fist at him and shouted: "Morikawa, I believe in you, come on!"

Several other teammates stood upright, wearing uniforms.Morikawa took a serious look at them, smiled brightly, took the racket and waved towards Marui.

When Morikawa entered the stage, Kirihara worriedly said from behind: "Why is Morikawa-senpai still acting calm and calm? It will be the match point of the ice emperor soon!"

Nioh crossed his arms and said, "He's always been like this, piyo."

Marui frowned, and said in an urgent tone: "It doesn't matter the usual practice match, now it's the official match! Atobe is one of the best figures in the entire Japanese middle school circle. Since the 3-3 tie, he has been playing against Morikawa. The smash is too fierce, and Morikawa defends. It's all very hard! Staff, what do you say?"

Lian Er's eyes were bright, she moved her lips, but said nothing.

Sanada, who was sitting below, suddenly said: "I don't think the situation is that bad. I have fought against Morikawa so many times, sometimes I tried my best to suppress him, and he can achieve the ultimate rebirth. His heart is like an ocean. Ordinary The storm is unshakable, vast and boundless, and there is no way to know where the limit is. Besides, have you seen his eyes? That kind of enthusiasm is not the eyes of a loser, but the interest has just been aroused."

That's right, Morikawa is full of interest, and his competitive heart is burning!The opponent does not give the slightest chance to breathe. They must do their best to protect themselves and find opportunities in the cracks. This is the truly addictive game!

The more you fight, the braver you are, the more you lose, the more brave you are!There is a drive in his heart, but his style of play is more sophisticated and calm.Morikawa couldn't find any mistakes here, Atobe tried his best to break through his defense, but it was like walking in a golden bell, unable to find a way out.

Morikawa guarded first, and only waited for Atobu to show his flaws.Whenever a ball is not returned in time, or the angle of the body is too large when receiving the ball, Morikawa will immediately launch an attack, find the dead corner of Atobe and make a precise strike.

Just when many viewers thought the game was a foregone conclusion, Morikawa survived the desperate situation, withstood the pressure with a strong heart, and even chased points with superb skills.

In his previous life, he was called "the person who can turn a headwind into a tailwind very quickly" by the outside world, so it's not for nothing.In the next small game, Morikawa always scored points after several stalemates. He even won three points in a row and achieved a 6-5 lead.

The last game was played for a long time. It was nearly seven o'clock after the game, and the sky was still bright, but the sky was covered with sunset.

Atobu came off to drink water, the coach said something to him, he nodded repeatedly.

The ice emperor team members standing on the steps feel like a roller coaster.First, he was uneasy when he lost two rounds of doubles, and he was nervous and unbearable when he was waiting for the result of the singles. Atobe played the advantage and finally heaved a sigh of relief. To reverse the score.

While taking notes, Gan Zhenzhi said in a tone of treasure: "Morikawa's information is too precious."

Xiang Riyue gave him a blank look, and complained: "What time are you still thinking about the information, the current situation is too unfavorable for Bingdi!"

Ninzu said: "I think Morikawa is more worrying. The look on Atobe's face shows that he has been completely aroused to win. They have been fighting for so long, and they have exhausted a lot of energy. There is a high probability that Atobe will pull the game into a grab. Seven, I don't need to say more about his tiebreaker winning percentage."

Bu Er stared at the court: "Not necessarily, Morikawa has already chased two 3-pointers in a row. He was suppressed like that, but he played more actively. The result of this game, no one knows what will happen until the last moment."

Feng Changtaro opened his eyes wide, and murmured: "What a wonderful match, it was so beautiful, but fortunately it was at the scene, if I miss it, I will definitely regret it."

Shishido shook his head, looked at his side face and said, "Why are you still a child at heart? The competition is certainly exciting, and the victory or defeat is the most important thing."

The reaction of the opponent's players is not within the scope of Morikawa's consideration.After playing the game for a long time and sweating a lot, he finished all the drinks he brought, and opened the energy drink that Lian Er handed him.

Finally came the last round.He defended tenaciously, but Atobe seemed to have the power of the prehistoric, the explosive power was staggering, and the stalemate lasted for a long time. After playing for more than 20 minutes in one round, Morikawa lost to Atobe by a weak margin, and the two sides fought 6- With 6 draws, the game was pulled into a tie-break.

It was getting late, but no one left.Lihai University's cheerleaders didn't know much about Morikawa's strength, and they were doubtful at first. After watching his game, they were all impressed by his skills and indomitable tenacity, and cheered for him with all their strength.

Morikawa took the new towel that Lian Er handed him, chuckled lightly, and said, "He's still dragged into the tiebreaker."

Lian Er could see that Morikawa played particularly hard in the last game. Several returns made the audience applaud.

With the facts in front of him, he can only say: "Just play well in the tie-break, it's fine."

Atobu's tie-breaker had a very high winning rate, and that number made Lianji a little speechless, fearing that it would put an extra psychological burden on Morikawa.Unexpectedly, Morikawa, who was below, took the initiative to bring up this question, "Atobe's tie-break usually has to be delayed to the end, and he uses his physical strength to completely defeat the opponent. His winning percentage in the tie-break seems to be terrible."

The look and tone of the speech were relaxed, and Lian Er was also relieved for some reason, and responded, "It is indeed very high."

The break was short and the referee called to play.Morikawa fixed his bangs with hairpins again, took the racket and walked forward, stopped after taking two steps, turned his head and said to Lian Er: "I'm so hungry, I want to eat three bowls of rice tonight!"

Lian Er was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

Morikawa has the determination to win, and he has the confidence to win.Maybe other people think that the tiebreaker will drag on for a long time and end in Atobe's victory, but Lianji has always believed in Morikawa.

At the start of the tie-break, Atobe scored two points first.From the third ball onwards, Morikawa's shots were like lightning, his physical strength was completely bottomless, his speed was faster, and his strength was as usual.It was unexpected for Atobe to be able to speed up at this time. Under his aggressive offensive, Atobe retreated steadily. Morikawa made great strides, and scored 7 points directly, locking the result of the tie-break at 7- 2.

There was a burst of warm applause and cheers at the venue.

Lihai was successfully promoted!

Marui and Kirihara looked at each other, jumped down from the steps, and opened their arms to hug Morikawa, but the staff officer was faster than them, took the towel and rushed to the front, and gently placed the towel on Morikawa's head.

Morikawa smiled brilliantly at him, and as soon as he grabbed the towel, he was pulled back by Marui's momentum. Lian Er quickly grabbed his arm and supported his waist.

"Senior Morikawa, you are amazing!" Kirihara also came up to hug his shoulder.

"You guys want to break my old waist." Morikawa complained, but his face was full of joy. He wiped his sweat and said, "Let me take it easy."

He sat down in a chair, blocking the light with a towel.It didn't take long to hear the referee ask the players of the two teams to shake hands. He felt the same, stood up, took off the hairpin and put it on the hem of his clothes, and walked at the end of the team.

Shaking hands all the way, when it was Atobe's turn, he said to Morikawa, "I will definitely beat you in the national competition."

Morikawa smiled, "Looking forward."
