Lihai University full-time sparring

Sanada was injured, and Morikawa and Renji had to pay more attention to the state of their opponents, especially in Group C of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

In the fourth round, Bingdi and Sitianbaosi met on a narrow road.No matter who they advance to, they will definitely become Li Haida's opponent. Everyone attaches great importance to it. They sat from Kanagawa to Tokyo to watch the game early in the morning.

Kirihara asked: "Senior Morikawa, which side do you think will win?"

"It's hard to say now. Ice Emperor has a better chance of winning. They have always felt good since the start of the national competition." Objectively speaking, the strength of Sitianbao Temple is slightly inferior to Ice Emperor.

Others think so too.They have played against Bingdi many times, and they are well aware of the strength of this team, which is difficult to fight, difficult to deal with, and progressing too fast.They came to watch the battle more because they wanted to see the Bingdi's cooperation and style of play, in order to understand them better.

But the game surprised everyone.

In the first doubles match, Ice Emperor sent Ninzu Kohito, and the opponents were Golden Koharu and Ichishi Yuji.Golden Xiaochun, a pseudo-same duo, continued their way of playing tricks, with amazing observation skills and strong imitation skills.Shinobu is a "genius" recognized by Atobe. Xiangri's body is not flexible, and he can hit a lot of extreme shots.

The strength of the two sides is evenly matched, evenly matched, and they should be equally divided.In fact, after the Ninzuzu team scored 2 points in the opening game, they were quickly overtaken by the Xiaochun team, and then Ninzuzu tried to find opportunities to tie many times, but neither of them gave a chance, and Sitianbaosi took the next game 6-4.

Marui changed his usual hippie smile, and said seriously: "Golden Xiaoharu's strength has improved too much, and they beat Ren Zuzu like this."

Liu Sheng said: "Sitianbao Temple's attack was very well organized, hitting the pain point directly."

Nioh: "The defense of Ninjazu and Xianghi has been completely seen through, like a city wall made of paper."

Morikawa was not concerned about this. He glanced at the coach of Sitianbao Temple, who was still an acquaintance, "The coach hasn't changed, how can they improve so much in a year? Staff, is there any change in their registration list this time? "

"Yes, two people have been added. Judging from the names, they may be brothers. But they have never played before, and the outside world predicts that they are substitutes."

"Impossible. I guess the doubles of these two people should be very good, which directly promoted the doubles level of Sitianbaosi." As soon as Morikawa finished speaking, the second doubles began. go on stage.

"Twins?" Kirihara said, "I have no impression, I've never seen them before."

Sanada hugged his chest and said, "Not showing up doesn't mean we are not strong. We haven't seen Morikawa before."

Morikawa pondered for a while, and said: "Ice Emperor sent Gan Sadaharu, it's not easy to fight. I didn't expect Shitianbaoji to bet on doubles this year, so Shiraishi or Chitose will definitely play in the next singles match."

Lian Er nodded: "The Ice Emperor is too strong in singles. Sitianbao Temple starts with doubles and finds a new way. The effect should be good."

Sure enough, the twins' doubles match could be described as "Tianxiu".Their cooperation is as natural as breathing, without any trace, they are blended into one.There is such a tacit understanding, the two are combined into one, and the defense and attack range radiate to the entire field.

With mature technology, beautiful movements, and effective tactics, he mobilized Gan and Akutagawa to accurately find unguarded loopholes and score.

Marui, Jackal, Yagyu, and Nioh all changed their postures while watching the game, sitting upright with serious faces.Sanada and Renji's expressions were not relaxed.

Morikawa frowned.After he came to Lihai University, he raised the level of singles players to a higher level, but his guidance for doubles was limited, and he talked most about his offensive and defensive awareness.Sitianbaosi's doubles has reached a considerable level, and it would be difficult for him and the staff to fight against the twins.

In the third game, Shiraishi played against Ishihara.

This lineup predicted the outcome of the game in advance.It happened that Ice Emperor was under their viewing platform, and Morikawa glanced at the players, Atobe and Fuji looked very dignified.

Completely caught off guard.According to Atobe's thinking, he can win at least one game in doubles, so if he ranks himself 1 or 2 in singles, even if the players perform mediocrely, he can still dominate the game.

Unexpectedly, the two doubles games were all lost.

Takayuki Ishihara just returned to China last year, and his vigor is unmatched. It is not too much to describe it as "people block and kill". Atobe can only give up the singles 1 position. The only one who can stop him is Yukimura .A year has passed, and his progress has been limited. He may have left the training environment of a professional club. He also knows that he will never be able to play professionally again. When meeting top players, the winning rate is not high.

Against Baishi, who is in full swing, there is no suspense about who will win.

The fiery Baishi quickly won the game, and Sitianbaosi eliminated Bingdi 3-0 to advance.

The audience around him sighed endlessly: "The Ice Emperor was unexpectedly out of the game."

"That's right, their results in the amateur team competition this year are so good, I think they have a chance to hit the championship."

"Shitenbaoji's doubles is so good, I think Rikai University is also very dangerous. Isn't Rikai University's Sanada injured? It seems that this time the championship trophy will be sent to Osaka."

Lihai players left the court with a heavy heart.Witnessing the horror of the opponent with his own eyes, verbal encouragement seemed pale. "Unhappy exit" is a terrible word. What happened to Bingdi today may happen to Lihai tomorrow.

Training, replay, game watching, summary and replay.For more than ten days, Morikawa only ate and thought about tennis when he ate and slept. He had something on his mind, and he seldom talked at home.The family also understands that he is under a lot of pressure, so they don't bother him much, prepare three nutritious meals, and play funny variety shows to relax him during meals.

Not only Morikawa, but other team members are like this, living the life of an ascetic monk every day, under tremendous pressure.Successfully entered the top 8, top 4, and finals, but the mood did not dare to relax for a moment.

As predicted, the opponent in the final is Sitianbaosi.The opponent's doubles is strong, and Morikawa only hopes that Lihai will win at least one doubles match, so that the remaining singles will still have the power to fight.If they lose both doubles, there are too many variables in singles, and Qiehara's skills are not so mature, it is unlikely that they will win.

Hold on tight, doubles!Breakout, doubles!

On the eve of the final, Morikawa had dinner and had a phone call with Yukimura.There was no training arranged in the evening, and he felt a little empty in his heart. He didn't tell anyone that he came to the Lihai Tennis Court by himself.

There were no people in the school during the summer vacation, the lights were weak, the tennis court was deep in the campus, there was no noise from the traffic, everything was quiet, only the sound of the wind was in my ears.Walking along the runway where they used to run, the cool summer night breeze made people feel refreshed, and the heat of the day faded away.In the dead of night, as if returning to his previous life, he likes to go out to relax before every game.

He is ranked 3rd in singles, and the singles and doubles in the national competition alternate, and he will be the second to play.No matter how other teammates perform, be yourself, stabilize your mentality, and win a point for Lihai.

After walking around for a few laps, he casually looked up while walking with his head down, and suddenly saw a dark shadow on the tennis court, which looked very familiar.

He walked in and called out, "Liu?"

Lian Er turned her head, and a hoarse voice drifted over with the wind: "Sen Chuan."

Morikawa asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"It's still early, I don't want to go to bed so early, come over to the stadium to have a look."

Morikawa walked up to him quickly: "It turns out that the staff officer is the same as me."

Neither of them mentioned about tomorrow's game, they walked quietly, their hearts still like water.After a while, he heard noisy footsteps coming from an angle, he and Lian Er exchanged glances, and looked towards the entrance of the tennis court.

Kirihara, Jackal, and Marui pushed each other and walked over noisily.Marui was the first to spot the two of Morikawa, and rushed over, wrapping his right hand around Morikawa's neck, and said enthusiastically, "Morikawa, why are you two here too! You have a tacit understanding!"

"Haha, isn't that right, I deserve to hang out with my brother for so long." Morikawa was also happy.

Kirihara said: "All five of us are here, do you think Yagyu and the others will come?"

"What do you think? There's no reason why we shouldn't come, puri."

"Nio! Yagyu! Why are you right behind us? We didn't notice you when we entered the school just now!"

Yagyu said, "We came from the track and field, and have been in school for a while."

It's amazing, the day before the game, the friends met at the school's stadium with a tacit understanding.Looking up at the starry sky, the moonlight was bright, and there was no trace of impurities. Somehow Morikawa remembered the phrase "the night is beautiful" that Lianji said at the beach before, and burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Marui asked.

"It's nothing, I remembered something from the past. Hey, isn't Sanada here? After he broke his bone, we trained him to be more nervous than us."

"I come to the tennis court every night, of course today is no exception." Sanada's calm voice sounded from behind.

"Deputy Minister!" Everyone called him in unison.

"Yeah." The plaster cast on Sanada's ankle has not been removed, and he is limping.He thought that he would say some words of encouragement, but in fact he didn't.The eight people sat quietly on the steps of the stairs, and no one broke the silence, only the soft sound of the wind in their ears.This is the most relaxing moment for everyone in so many days.

Some things don't need to be said through the mouth, everyone can understand.At this time, it becomes more and more obvious that I am in the team, and my friends are always around.

Sitting for a long time.It was so long that Morikawa felt that his butt was numb. He took out his mobile phone and checked the time, and said, "It's almost time to go home. I will play second tomorrow. I won't watch the first game. Marui, Jackal, you guys come on." "

Sanada thinks this method is very good. In the face of a strong enemy, if you maintain a good attitude every time, you will have a greater chance of winning. "I suggest that everyone follow the example of Morikawa. Before it's your turn to play, warm up in the gymnasium lounge and face your opponent in the best condition."

"Okay." All echoes.

Going to the school gate, we were about to say goodbye to Marui. Morikawa teased and said, "Student Marui, don't be too nervous. Even if you lose points, my brother will help you get them back."

"Go away, I am determined to win this point, no matter what kind of twins they are, have I been with the Jackal shorter than them? Have we played less than them? None. The wolf will accompany you to the end."

Morikawa knew Marui well, and his tone of voice showed true confidence.Morikawa was also inspired by such spirit, and said with a smile, "Don't get slapped in the face tomorrow."

"impossible."

Many years later, when they think back to their tennis career in middle school, they will always think of this national competition, not only because it was difficult to play this time, but also because of accidents and difficulties, their state is still surprisingly good, and they will struggle in all subsequent games. Get back to that peak state.

The national competition venue was set up in the gymnasium. After the team introduction, the players dispersed. Morikawa found a practice room to warm up, and Marui and the Jackal played.His mind is very empty, not worried about the players, nor worried about himself.All he has to do is to use his instincts to score on the court.

The waiting time was a bit long, and he guessed that the first game would be a tough one.But he was not in a hurry, he packed his bag and entered the arena from the backstage after Lian Er called him.

Walk into the center of the arena from the shadows, facing the super large LED screen.Inevitably, Morikawa saw the score of the first game.

The small score was 7-5, the big score was 1-0, and Lihai took the lead.

Morikawa was thrilled that Marui did it!They really won!With just one glance, he felt that his whole body was filled with infinite power, his chest was filled with confidence, and even his hands trembled slightly.

He is the awareness of world players, he trains hard and replays in a timely manner.Coupled with the victory buff given by his teammates, Morikawa against Shiraishi was in excellent condition, his hand feeling was terribly good, his signature backhand was used to the extreme, and he had nowhere to think about where he would land. , but there is no way to get a flexible landing point.

Morikawa won 6-3.After winning the last ball, he had nowhere to vent his anger. He raised his head and roared, raised his racket high and clenched his fists towards the audience, his excitement hard to hide.

When he walked off the field, he met Yagyu and Nio at the entrance of the field. Morikawa stretched out his fist. Yagyu and Nio immediately understood, and they clenched their right fists and touched him lightly.

The two held their heads high and their chests up, youthful and confident of victory.

Facing the extremely powerful twins, the two of them did not fall behind at all. Instead, after many rounds of fierce battles, their condition became better and better. The score was scored by Li Haida.

6-4 Nioh Yagyu won the victory. At that moment, Morikawa was so excited that he hugged Renji beside him heavily: "It succeeded!"

Lian Er hugged his back tightly: "Yes, it's a success!" That kind of joy, that kind of touch, that kind of excitement of fulfilling his wish and winning made him tremble all over.

How can you think of it?I thought it was a fierce battle, and even felt that failure was close at hand.The result turned out to be miraculous, and won the championship with a big score of 3-0 in the first three games.Sure enough, the harder you work, the luckier you are. They once lost points because of their opponents' extraordinary performance on the court. This time, they were favored by the god of luck and finally achieved their second consecutive victory in an extraordinary state.

Zaoji sat in the front of the auditorium and waved at Morikawa.He rushed up to hug his younger sister, only to find his father and stepmother standing beside her.It turned out that in a place he didn't know, his family quietly sneaked over to watch his game.

"Seiichi, you did a great job!" Chimi Nagawa patted him on the shoulder.

Morikawa's heart had already flown beyond the sky. Regardless of the previous grudge, he hugged Teacher Mingchuan and his father as well. Hideo Kobayashi hesitated for a while, and finally patted him on the back, "Seiichi, I am proud of you."

He had waited too long for this sentence.Morikawa had waited too long.

"Thank you, Dad." Morikawa thanked him sincerely.

He is also proud of himself, he is proud of himself for not giving up in the face of adversity, and he is proud of all his teammates who fought side by side with him.

He looked down at his teammates whose faces were filled with joy, his eyes lingering on their faces one by one.

It's great, it's really great to come to Lihai University and grow up with them.
