In the long history of the Lihai University Tennis Club, although it is not common to win without a fight, there have been a few times.But this few times is still a little less than the number of times the tennis team won the national championship.

The reason was that the major schools didn't have much competitive ability in front of Li Hai, and they would lose anyway, and it was better to play a few games than to lose face completely.After Lihai's big three joined the tennis club, they also failed to meet once.

So when the seven candidates stood in front of the net for a long time and waited for the staff to convey the news that all Yinhua members had withdrawn from the competition, they were all stunned.The cheerleaders and spectators who came from Kanagawa in the stands were also in an uproar.

"To retire?"

"It's so slack!" Sanada clenched his fists and was the first to turn around and walk to the side of the field.They didn't spend a lot of time studying their opponents in the first round of the Kanto Conference, but they didn't expect such a result at all.

"It's not too surprising. They retired once during the Tokyo Metropolitan Competition, and that time was against Seigaku." Liu followed behind Sanada, reaching for his tennis bag through the guardrail of the court, "Alright, We have one more day to rest. By the way, we will go to see the match between Qingxue and Bingdi."

The game in the next field seems to have started, and the distance is not too far, and the cheerleaders shouting in the style of Bingdi can be vaguely heard.

"Let's go." In the words, the two tallest Li Haida chose had already put on their tennis bags, and they were standing near the coach chair waiting for their companions.

"Lianji, it's not fair for you guys to be so tall and leggy. We have to run up to get the bags as soon as you scoop them up." Marui bypassed the guardrail and ran to the stands to get his things.Kirihara wanted to imitate Liu and stand directly on the field to get things, but he couldn't reach it after bouncing around for a while, so he had to run behind Marui to the stands to get bags.

"That is to say, Senior Liu, it's too much for you to be so tall!"

"Let you eat so many cakes, Marui." Nioh jumped on the spot and pulled out his tennis bag, then zipped up his coat, and laughed at his friend.

"Tch, aren't you still hunchbacked?" Marui was still one step ahead of Kirihara, and jumped down the stairs cheerfully, "Kuwahara, Kuwahara, help me carry the cake!"

The match between Qingxue and Bingdi was in the No. [-] field, and now the stands are packed to the brim.Not long after the game started, it happened to be the first game break.The candidates of Lihai squeezed in along the crowd and found a pretty good place.

"What's the score?"

"In the first doubles match, Seigaku Kikumaru Momoshiro leads Hyotei Ninzu and Xianghi 2-1." Liu put the tennis bag by his feet, leaned over and took out his notebook, "Well, why did Ninzu come out to play doubles? It's doubles two ?”

Although doubles accounted for two-fifths of the proportion, even winning two doubles in the current game process can basically be regarded as a seal of victory.However, there are very few masters who can take care of both singles and doubles in the arena.For example, except for Liu's personal style which is slightly more doubles, the rest of Li Hai and Sanada and Kirihara are obvious doubles killers.As for Yukimura, I'm sorry that no member who can keep up with Yukimura's rhythm has appeared so far.

"Maybe Ice Emperor's order of appearance is drawn by lottery." Liu Sheng took advantage of the break to erase the contact lenses and put on the frames.

"Qingxue didn't send Oishi and Kikumaru to partner this time." Kuwahara squinted at the situation on the field. They stood in the stands opposite the players' benches. "It seems that he is not in the team either."

"Zhenzhi isn't here either." Liu glanced at Fa Xiao, but couldn't see Fa Xiao in Qingxue's team, "Probably the team played a doubles match? Then Qingxue really made a mistake."

"Why, Senior Liu?"

The referee on the field called the end of the time, and the noise in the stands gradually died down.Sanada put a hand on Kirihara's shoulder: "The tacit understanding between doubles teams is very important, so watch the game carefully."

"So it's Qingxue." After four sets, Qingxue secured the victory ahead of time by relying on one doubles match and two singles matches. There were constant voices in the stands, and some people were even about to leave.

"Did you forget that you have to play five games in the first round?" Kuwahara reminded Kirihara, "And if it's Atobe and Tezuka, they will still fight hard."

"That's right." Kirihara suddenly remembered that this was the first round of competition, "Then who do seniors think can win?"

"Mr. Liu?" The eyes of several people turned to Liu in unison. Liu thought about it: "I think Tezuka has a better chance of winning. The overall strength of the two is similar, but according to the previous game video, Tezuka won in the key points. The handling of the game is more delicate. It is not yet possible to determine who will win and who will lose.”

"Let's go a little further." During the warm-up time before the game, there was no one on the field, but there was some walking in the stands. Sanada led the tennis team down a few steps.As soon as Liu looked up, he saw that Fa Xiao, who had just lost a doubles game, was engrossed in his notes, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

You have regressed, Sadaharu.Even if Qingxue defeated Bingdi, the champion would still be Lihai.

Gan sneezed loudly, and the pen slanted and drew a slash.

Atobe's appearance is as gorgeous as ever.On the opposite side, Tezuka had finished his preparations and was standing in front of the net waiting to pick a side. Only then did Atobe slowly swayed from the sidelines with his racket in his coat.When he walked near the sideline, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, looking completely untroubled by the team members' defeat.

"Although you won the game, I will still be the winner, Tezuka." Atobe lowered his voice when the two shook hands in front of the net.Tezuka didn't react extraneously, he turned the racket in a regular manner, and generously gave up the right to pick the side.

Atobe was dumbfounded, and Sanada on the sidelines snorted coldly, seeming to agree with Tezuka's approach.

"The fifth set of the first round of the Kanto Tournament, Seigaku Tezuka vs Hyotei Atobe, Atobe starts first."

They are all very familiar opponents, and there was not too much testing at the beginning of the game.Atobe sent an ACE ball on the court, and then relied on the forehand to cross the serve smoothly, and the score came to 1:0.

"Atobe's serve is in good condition." Liu commented on the sidelines. "Goal 100% in the first game, right? And with an ACE."

"Tezuka's return is not bad." Sanada praised rather restrainedly, "It's not bad to be able to return to this level when Atobe's serve is in state."

"Indeed, at 0:40, he managed to catch up with deuce, and Atobu's passing ball at the end was really beautiful."

Tezuka's condition is not as good as the two imagined.

Liu quickly discovered this.

Tezuka's first serve game was difficult. According to Liu's statistics, the first serve goal rate was only 50.00% at most, and he even made two double faults in a row on the game point.

"Advantage, Ice Empress Department."

"There is a problem with the serve." Sanada whispered, "The scoring rate is too low." Liu nodded in agreement, squinting at Tezuka's serve.

On the court, Tezuka sent an outside corner kick. The ball was not fast, but it had a high spin.Atobe took a few steps forward, the racket hit the ground, and the ball returned out of bounds.

"deuce."

"Advantage, Ice Empress Department."

"deuce."

"Advantage, Seigaku Tezuka."

"Game, Seigaku Tezuka, 1:1."

"What do you think?" Willow asked Sanada.

"The serve has never been in place, and the forehand is a bit cramped. It doesn't seem to be explained by poor state."

"Chi Ye?"

"Ah me? I think the forehand movement is obviously not in place. If you have been hitting the ball with a straight arm before, the current movement is strange." Kirihara also frowned and stared at the game on the field.

"Is it possible that he was injured?" Sanada watched as Tezuka walked back to the bottom line, preparing for his return game.The young man looked stern, and dexterously twirled the racket with his ten fingers.

"It's possible, I'll ask." Liu didn't say much, and leaned over to take out his phone from his bag and sent a bunch of messages.After a while, Gan on the opposite side turned on his phone, then looked up at Liu indifferently across the field.On the screen of the phone in front of him was a message from Liu: Is your minister injured?

After a while, another piece of news came: Retire, you don't lack this victory.Too much damage to the arm, right the elbow?

After a short pause, he pressed the screen to turn off the screen, and stuffed the phone back into his bag.

"It seems to be injured, most likely it's an elbow." Liu, who witnessed Qian's movements, came to a conclusion.

"Then why does he still come to the competition?" Liu Sheng interjected, "Shouldn't the elbow be so difficult that it should take more rest?"

"I suggested it, but it seems that Qingxue doesn't intend to listen." Liu Yizhan expressed his helplessness, "Atobu should have already noticed it."

On the court, Atobe saved serve very neatly, and the score came to 2:1.But the boy didn't look very excited, and even had a little suspicious look on his face.

"Agan, who's the news just now?" Buer in the stands asked softly.Qingxue has already won the game. Although he is quite relaxed, he is also concerned about Tezuka's arm.

"Li Haida's willow." Qian tapped the opposite Faxiao with a ballpoint pen, "They saw Tezuka's injury."

"Sooner or later." Fuji frowned, "There is no way, Tezuka is impossible to retire. If he can be persuaded, he will definitely not be allowed to play."

"Let's see first." The break between words was over, and Tezuka's serve was next.The head of Qingxue came into the court bouncing the ball, standing on the baseline and preparing to serve.

"0:15." Going up was a double fault.

"15:15."

"15:30."

On the break point, there was a multi-shot seesaw, Tezuka made a chipping error, the ball bounced to the net belt, and finally failed to pass the net.Atobe had already chased to the net and raised his racket to apologize.

"game, Ice Empress Division, 2:1."

"If I change it, I will retire." Nioh said sincerely, "This game has nothing to do with winning or losing. If we continue to fight like this, the damage to the elbow will be too great. Maybe surgery will be needed if it can be solved by self-cultivation."

"I think so too." Liu agreed, "It's no good to fight too hard. I heard that Tezuka plans to play professionally? He got injured at such a young age, artificially shortening his career."

"Yeah, so many retire due to injuries every year."

"Surgeries always have risks and recovery, and no one can tell."

The topic of discussion among the main candidates in Lihai soon became who's knee injury relapsed this year and who will retire next year.Atobe has basically won the game, and their focus is more on the extent of Tezuka's injury.

Sanada didn't join the discussion, and the hand hanging by his side slowly clenched into a fist.From a rational point of view, he also agrees with the results drawn by his friends, quitting this game to take a good rest for the future.But from an emotional point of view, he felt that if he was standing on the court, he would never retire, and would even fight with his best state.

Tezuka finally recovered a serve at the end of the game with all his strength, and the score came to 6:6, a tie-break.

"Is it necessary for you?" Atobe and Tezuka passed each other when changing venues, Atobe asked softly.

Tezuka didn't answer, looking down at his hand holding the racket.

How could he not know that retiring is the best choice, but since it appeared on the draw, he should do his best.

"1:0, Seigaku Tezuka leads." Tezuka's first ace in the game.

"1:1." Atobu pulled out a forehand at a large angle, and hit the bottom line with a snap.

"1:2, Ice Emperor Jibu leads." Atobe's ace ball.

"2:2." Tezuka cuts a short ball, barely pressing on the sideline.

"6:6."

After the last few balls, Tezuka walked towards the bottom line holding the tennis ball, his nails almost pinching the goal.

"6:7, the Ice Empress Division is leading."

The elbow has been a little sore since the beginning, and now it is getting worse.

The sound of the ball hitting the ground became long, and a mistake was made.

Two out of bounds, 6:8.

Tezuka switched the racket to his right hand, moved his aching left arm, and trotted to the net.With no joy on his face, Atobe stretched out his hand to hold the hand that was handed out by the head of the Qing Academy.

"Wait until you recover." Atobe turned and walked towards the referee chair.

First serve goal rate: Tennis serves are allowed to serve twice.After the first miss, it's the second serve.A goal is a serve without mistakes and out of bounds.At present, a net serve is not counted as a mistake, and the next serve is also counted as a serve.

A winning serve is a first serve and a successful score.

Active error = unforced error, this is purely my fault.Correspondingly, there are forced errors.

Atobe walked to the referee's chair because he had to shake hands with the referee after the game. Generally, the loser came first and the winner followed.

The author has something to say:

I'm back, Stockholm is super fun

However, I feel that I wrote the side story on Wednesday and now posting Tezuka is throwing a knife again.

I didn't really want to write a double part, because I really think that the best way to deal with Tezuka's situation is to retire from the game to recuperate. Playing with an injury will shorten his career and affect the quality of the game.The latter doesn't matter, but the former is really fatal to athletes.Reasonably, there is no shame in retiring due to injury, everyone will be injured.Of course, it is very worthy of condemnation for someone like Zheng Xuan of South Korea to quit the game purely because he was beaten in a daze and use blisters as an excuse.

Elbow injuries have a great impact on people. See Djokovic from the second half of 16 to the first half of 18. Anyone can lose.In the end, it was resolved by surgery. Before the surgery, the serve movement in the game had changed and I had been wearing protective gear. The serve error at the Australian Open at the beginning of the year seemed to be a ghost.But it might not be obvious from the sidelines, here is a bug for Lihai and Atobe.

In the original book, Atobe deliberately delays time.But the game is changing rapidly, unless you want to play match-fixing, no one will deliberately delay the time... This is not the leading team delaying time during stoppage time in football.What if Tezuka finds an opportunity to fight back after dragging and dragging?

And the Tezuka field is simply impossible...Zero-style serve is also impossible...Zero-style short ball is a little bit possible, but it is impossible to land without bouncing...But I am really convinced of the kind of net Wang Wenli wrote Buer stood on the sidelines and said how the zero-style is impossible. Didn't Federer also make such remarks in last week's game.A man like Federer, who is very good at tennis, does hit a short ball that bounces towards the net. How could it be possible for an ordinary junior high school student to hit it?

Although I just heard that Federer lost to Sasha, I like both of them very much and I have mixed feelings.
