[Net King] The Crown of Tennis

At the end of August, the National Tennis Tournament was held in Osaka Tennis Park. The scorching sun and the buzzing of insects. This summer, more than [-] teams that stood out from the encirclement met on the opening ceremony playground, trying to get their hands on the national championship trophy.

"The next one to enter is the High School Affiliated to Lihai University." Saito heard the broadcast and stared at the people of Lihai who came out and walked to the position next to Mu Zhiteng.The leader is indeed the little doll that hasn't grown up yet?

Li Hai entered the arena and stood still, Yukimura was wearing a coat, standing next to Saito, so Saito couldn't help squinting at the little minister who reached his shoulder height.

"Cut." Saito turned to look at the second Fujiwara.Fujiwara with purple hair felt Saito's gaze and smiled kindly at him.

"Tsk." Saito thought for a while, and decided to end his second round of competition quickly, and go to take a good look at this freshman of Lihai University, who made Fujiwara and Fukuyama so docile.

After the opening ceremony, the national competition began.

Yukimura led Lihai's entire staff to watch the first round of the Lions Music's knockout round.

"Hmm..." Liu tried his best to control his words, "The style of play is very tough."

"It is indeed the style of violent tennis, and there are quite a lot of chasing balls." Fukuyama hooked Fujiwara's shoulders without any fear.

"Is Liu scared?"

"Of course not, even the ball hitting the body is counted." Liu subconsciously retorted.

"It's still the same as last year, that group of people." Matsumoto sighed in the tone of someone who has experienced it.

Yukimura listened to his team members' comments with a smile, but didn't speak.

"Next is the match between Lihai University Affiliated High School and Shizile Middle School."

"The two sides lined up and stepped forward."

Sehara, who was 1.9 meters tall, looked down at Yukimura, and threatened with a smile: "Give up as soon as possible, and don't cry and seek comfort from your seniors later, little milk baby."

"Heh." Yukimura turned around directly, ignoring Sehara in front of the net.

The order of battle established by Lihai is:

D2: Satoshi Takeda, Kansuke Matsumoto

D1: Saken Fujiwara, Kei Fukuyama

S3: Liu Lian II

S2: Genichiro Sanada

S1: Yukimura Seichi

Substitute: Mori Kosaburo

"Don't lose, you two." Sehara rubbed his palm and said to the doubles two. "If you lose, come and accept the sanctions yourself."

"Yes." X2

Yukimura sat on the coach's bench with arms crossed, nodded to Takeda and Matsumoto: "Then, I'm watching, two seniors."

"Look at it, Minister Yukimura." Matsumoto patted Takeda on the shoulder with the racket in his left arm, "Let's go."

"Seniors are full of energy, piyo." Marui, who was blowing bubble gum in the Lihai Viewing area, suddenly heard a familiar phrase.

"King Ren!"

"Hey, miss me so much?"

"Tch, it's not, is it, Jack."

"Huh? Uh..."

The training of ordinary members during the holiday training is voluntary. Even so, most people still choose to come to the school for additional training, unless there is really something at home—such as Nioh.No one wants to be left far behind by others after two weeks.

Matsumoto and Takeda played one offense and one defense, relying on the difference in speed and skill, they still fought well.

[gamesetandmatch,wonbyrikkaidai6-0]

"Cut." Sehara waved impatiently to signal the two to go back to the rest area. [Go back and clean up you. ]

"It's up to you, Chitose, Tachibana."

"It's not bad, senior."

"Minister Yukimura feigned praise." Takeda knew that he and Matsumoto were not playing very well, compared with the real golden doubles.

"The next doubles match will be a doubles match between Saken Fujiwara and Kei Fukuyama of the High School Attached to Lihai University VS Chitose Chitose Chitose and Tachibana Tachihira from Shishirakuzhong."

As soon as the battle list came out, the audience was in an uproar.Even the people in Lion Music couldn't help looking at the two people who were walking towards the coach's bench from Li Hai's side. Their appearance completely overwhelmed the formation of "two heroes from Kyushu".

"Is it so extravagant! Let 'Shogun' and 'Ghost Advisor' play doubles?" Many people watching from the sidelines couldn't understand Li Hai's thoughts, and many of them were defeated by Fujiwara and Fukuyama last year.

Fujiwara and Fukuyama have finished warming up and are standing in front of the coach's bench.

Yukimura tilted his head and smiled at the two of them. "I don't seem to have anything to say to my seniors."

"That's our honor." Fujiwara and Fukuyama looked at each other and smiled.

"Qianli." Ju, who was on stage, looked at his partner.

"Ah. I know."

"Both salute!"

It was Fukuyama who shook hands with Tachibana. He looked at Fukuyama who was looking down at him from the opposite side, and was a little annoyed by the seemingly disdainful eyes.

"Please teach me more, little lion cub."

"you!"

"Orange flat."

Tachibana took a deep breath, obviously remembering the information he had learned before.

[Ah. ] Fujiwara glanced at Fukuyama, obviously knowing what he wanted to do.

"The game begins, and the lions are happy to start."

It was Chitose Chisato who served first in Shizi Lezhong, and Saken Fujiwara who received the serve first from Lihai.Both sides adopt a tandem formation.

Chitose patted the ball and looked at Fujiwara who was on the opposite baseline. [The title of "General" has an extremely stable defensive ability, but it is not only that.I don't know what he and "Ghost Advisor" are planning. ]

"Snapped."

[not so good. ] Fujiwara hit the ball with a slash.

"Orange flat."

"Ah." Juan intercepted the ball in front of the net and hit the midfielder.

"Boom!" Fukuyama, who had already expected the path of the ball, hit a straight forehand. The powerful straight ball flew across the net and hit Tachibana's right foot. The speed of the return made Tachibana and Chitose unable to react for a while.

[0:15]

"Here it is, that guy Fukuyama's straight ball." Saito had already come to the sidelines to watch the game.As soon as Mu Zhiteng won a doubles match, he heard that Fujiwara and Fukuyama on Lihai's side were going to play a doubles match, so he specially asked his coach Oda to rush over.

Last year, he served as the third singles match against Fukuyama.He didn't want to recall the detailed game at all. The previous doubles had one win and one loss, but he lost when he was placed in a key position by his seniors.

[Insidious guy! ] Saito gritted his teeth.

The situation in Lion Music was not good. Lihai scored all three goals in the opening game, and it was almost time to break serve.And I don't know if it was intentional, Tachibana always felt that Fukuyama in the frontcourt was targeting him.

Another ball flew towards the sideline on his side, but Ju couldn't catch it and lost another point.

[gamerikkaidai1-0]

"Damn it!" Tachibana swung the racket vigorously, almost hitting Chitose who was on the side.

"Sorry, Qianli."

"Juhei, calm down first." Chitose patted Tachibana on the shoulder, "That's Fukuyama who is known as the 'ghost counselor', he must want to provoke you first, so as to disrupt our cooperation."

Tangerine took another deep breath. "I see."

Seeing Tachibana who had regained his composure, Fujiwara gestured towards Fukuyama. [It will explode sooner or later. ]

[Isn't there still you. ] Fukuyama stretched exaggeratedly. [Take extra points before that. ]

In the second game, Chitose and Tachibana really played their due tacit cooperation, in the eyes of the people on the sidelines.

[Hit it very carefully, Chitose-kun. ] Yukimura leaned against the back of the chair, with his hands on his knees. [However, you lose faster this way. ]

[gamerikkaidai2-0]

With an Ace and three sideballs, Lihai won the second game.

In the third game, Tachibana served and Fukuyama returned.

Tachibana at the bottom line kneaded the tennis ball in his hand, threw it up, and swung the racket.

"Soon." Marui looked at the ball and elbowed Nioh who was beside him, "What are Fukuyama-senpai and the others thinking? Do you know?"

"Here, give me the cake in your bag, and I'll tell you."

"...Don't even think about it!"

Tachibana on the field was obviously on the verge of breaking out. He played very subdued in this game, even the provocation from Fukuyama on the opposite side could only be swallowed abruptly.Every time he wants to confront Fukuyama head-on, Chisato always says—be careful.Why didn't he see any conspiracy on the other side, just kept teasing him.

[gamerikkaidai3-0]

Tachibana sat on the sidelines with a dark face, and Chitose drank water beside him.

"Qianli!" Tachibana looked at Chitose, "Stop thinking about what the other side is going to do, you can cooperate with me, confront them openly, and break the defense of the other side together."

"Juhei..." When Tachibana said this, Chitose felt as if——he was the one who went into the wrong place.

"Okay, Juping, let's go."

"Hmph." Saito, who was on the sidelines, was inexplicably relieved when he saw that the freshmen in Shizile had discovered Fukuyama's strategy.However, it is too late to counter-control the situation, and it is too beautiful to think about it.

"It seems that the other side is more awake?" Fujiwara handed Fukuyama a towel.

"Ah, it's up to you. It's not that simple to show the little guy 6-0." Fukuyama adjusted the weight on his hand.It is true that the opponent has studied him, and he has also investigated the opponent. Ju's aggressive style of play will indeed be a bit tricky for him at this time. The "Kyushu Shuangxiong" is indeed not in vain, and it really makes them difficult to deal with when they let go of the fight.The current situation is within his plan.As for Tachibana's teaming up with Chitose who can predict the course of the ball - he looked at Fujiwara sitting next to him, isn't the "General" still there.

[It’s only now, little lion cub. ]

In the fourth game, Fukuyama served.

"Come on!" Tachibana used small steps to prepare for hair extension.

With a high-speed straight ball, Tachibana almost let go of his racket.The two sides began to fight back and forth.

"Right! Juping." Chitose also displayed his excellent predictive ability.

Tachibana responded with a side-spinning ball, which was resolved by Fujiwara.

Chitose predicted the development of the next few goals based on the counterattack routines of the two opponents. [Found! ]

"Bottom line to the left! Juping."

"Ah." Tachibana also saw that Fukuyama's center of gravity had shifted to the right.

The tennis ball was drawn to the left sideline of Lihai's side, and was caught by Fujiwara.With a double reverse, the tennis ball returned to the left baseline of Lion Music, and Chitose on the right and Tachibana in the frontcourt couldn't cope.

[15:0]

Chitose looked at Fujiwara on the opposite side.Fujiwara was also looking at him and waved to him.

[Ha, unpredictable, bad. ]

"Blast ball flurry!" Tachibana used his unique trick, and the tennis ball seemed to have multiple afterimages in the air.

"Hey, what's that?" Marui was dazzled by the ball.Kuwahara handed over the eye drops at the right time.

[Due to the high-speed rotation and unstable air flow, the trajectory of the ball changes slightly, making it difficult for the opponent to grasp the hitting point.Totally offensive chipping ball. ] Yukimura straightened his upper body. [Seniors have already started. ]

"Interesting." Fujiwara was already waiting at the landing point of the ball.

Ju is very excited to play now, and the whole person is on fire.He adjusted the shooting line and continued to attack Fujiwara and Fukuyama.On the other hand, Li Hai changed his previous offensive and became calm.

"That kid, it's dangerous." Saito shook his head, and only then did he see what Fukuyama and Fujiwara really thought. "The outcome has been decided." He had already received a call from Oda, and the doubles match on Makino Vine's side was about to end.Saito is singles three and he has to go back.

"Midline!" Chitose predicted again.

"Unfortunately." Fukuyama responded with a short ball.

[gamerikkaidai4-0]

Chitose was a little worried looking at the score. Although it did look like they had suppressed Lihai in the last game, the score was still one-sided. Whenever they controlled the rhythm and felt that they were going to score, Fujiwara would always play hard at the right time to beat them. High speed ball received.

"Huh—" He looked at Ju Ping, who was swinging his bat aside, as if Ju Ping had lost consciousness.Thanks to the depression in the first three rounds, Tachibana only felt that he was playing smoother and smoother, and the ball he aimed at the opponent did not hurt the opponent at all, which made him completely let go of his hands and feet.

[gamerikkaidai5-0]

In the sixth game, Tachibana finally realized the danger on his side, and he began to get nervous.And at this time, Fujiwara's hidden ultimate move was also fully revealed.

The rhythm of the scene changed again. Both Fujiwara and Fukuyama started to attack, mainly targeting Tachibana in front of the net.After Tachibana played "Shun" for two rounds, he was a little confused by the offensive of Fujiwara and Fukuyama, and couldn't adjust to his state.

[gamesetandmatch,wonbyrikkaidai6-0]

"jo—u—sho—rikkaidai! Let's go, Let's gorikkaidai!"

Sehara in Lion Music has completely darkened his face, he just stared at the two first-year students whom he had high hopes for. "snort."

The atmosphere on Lihai's side is quite harmonious.

"It was a very exciting match, senpai." Yukimura squinted his eyes and smiled happily.

"Our honor." Fujiwara tossed his long braid, and Fukuyama touched the edge of Fujiwara's handle with the racket.Obviously they had a great time too.

Standing in the sea watching the competition area, Sanada lowered his hat with a sullen face, and Liu Ze just returned from warming up.Nioh watched Fukuyama's performance with bright eyes all the time, and the smile on his lips made Marui rub his arms and pull Kuwahara away.

Matsumoto, Takeda, and Mori didn't have any special reactions. In their opinion, this is what they should do, no matter how strong the opponent is.

"It's my turn." Liu calmly looked at the name on the screen and walked towards the coach's bench.

The author has something to say:

Fujiwara Fukuyama is to Matsumoto Mori and the others what Yukimura is to Marui Kirihara and the others.
