It was the first time Li Haida had lost the first set since the national competition.

"Satisfied?" Yukimura asked when Sanada was off.Sanada frowned, but didn't answer.Yukimura didn't bother to pay attention to him, and stood aside watching Fa Xiao pack up his things.The boy stuffed the racket and towel into the tennis bag and carried it on his back, then stood up straight and looked at Yukimura seriously.

"Feel sorry."

Yukimura was taken aback: "Why are you apologizing?"

"I lost the game." Sanada replied sternly, "I have a chance to win."

Yukimura laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Faxiao's shoulder: "Don't think too much, it's normal to win or lose." Half a year ago, I might still be a little annoyed because Sanada insisted on fighting Tezuka and lost, but now Yukimura is nothing more than I feel like I just lost a game, it's no big deal.

It's not even a game lost, there are at least three more sets left to go.

It's just that the game that Sanada has been thinking about for three years has now ended hastily, Sanada probably feels uncomfortable.Didn't drag into the tiebreaker, and couldn't hold on for a while longer.Yukimura tried to put himself into Sanada's point of view, but unfortunately he was not Genichiro Sanada who had been thinking about a game for three years, nor was it Sadaharu Kane who had remembered the score for four or five years. He was not so entangled.

"I will continue to work hard." Sanada still promised solemnly.Yukimura didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pushed Sanada hard on his back to the stands on the sidelines.

"I'll talk about it later, go and clean up and watch the match between Lian Er and Chi Ye."

"What's wrong with Genichiro?" Liu came off the court with his tennis bag on his back, followed by Kirihara with a serious face.Just as Yukimura was about to say something, he heard Kirihara yelling loudly to Sanada who had already returned to the stands:

"Don't worry, Vice Minister, Senior Liu and I will bring the score back!"

Liu wanted to cover his junior's mouth, but unfortunately he was a step too late, so he could only shrug helplessly.Yukimura reached out and flicked Kirihara's forehead gently: "Stop talking nonsense, if you want to talk trash, don't make it so obvious."

"Minister, I'm not talking trash." Kirihara covered his forehead.

"I said yes." Yukimura said calmly, "Don't say a few words, go up and play the game well, don't let your senior Liu hold you back."

"Don't worry, Minister! I won't do it!" Kirihara assured while taking the racket from the bag, almost knocking the whole tennis bag upside down on the ground.Liu stretched out his hand to support Kirihara's bag, feeling that he shouldn't agree to his junior's request to play doubles together.

He now suspects that he might have been hit on the head by a racket when Kirihara was about to smash.

"Since you said you want to avenge your vice minister, behave well. If you dare to lose, I'll knock you back." Yukimura put his hand on Kirihara's shoulder, pushed him to the front of the net, and then turned to look at Liu: " Lian Er, come on."

"Don't worry." Liu smiled, picked up the racket and followed behind Kirihara.The referee has already stood in front of the net, and Qingxue's partner is also walking towards the net.

"I didn't expect that we would meet again, and it was still on the doubles field." Qian was the first to speak.

"That's right." Liu smiled lightly, "Oh Chiye, just decide."

"They still bring juniors." Gan continued to sigh, "Well, we won the pick, Haitang, do you want to start or receive?"

The two seniors who were in the third year of junior high school carefully handed over the work of picking side to the juniors, and chatted on the sidelines by themselves.The referee looked helplessly at the four players on the field, and finally turned to Haitang:

"Do you want to send first or receive first?"

"First off, senior?"

"Well, let's go first." Gan said to Liu, "I won't be careless, professor."

"Come on." Liu lightly shook Faxiao's hand, then walked towards the baseline with his shoulders on his junior, halfway he heard Qieyuan complaining: "Senior Liu obviously lost to you last time, so why are you so careless?" If you don't care."

"You don't care about him." Liu smiled lightly, "Hit yourself."

Gan and Kaidou served first, Yanagi played a little closer to the net, and Kirihara's position was close to the baseline.The quality of Kaido's serve was mediocre, Kirihara took a step to the right, and returned a high-quality return serve in a relaxed state, which was returned dryly.Liu went to the net, the racket was almost perpendicular to the ground, and directly blocked the ball back to the doubles sideline on the left.

"0:15"

Liu turned around and saw Kirihara trotting up with a proud expression on his face, high-fived Liu, and then trotted back to where he was standing just now.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, the staff and Chi Ye cooperated very well." Marui on the sidelines put his hands behind his head and blew a bubble.

"It's only the first point, why are you so excited?" Liu Sheng asked.

"White-haired fox, don't talk nonsense, it shows that I have a foresight. Hey, why is it you? Where's King Ni?"

After Qingxue scored the next point, Liu Sheng pushed his glasses unhurriedly: "King Renwang went to warm up, he is singles two."

"And Marui, Akaya went to the staff to play doubles, right?" Kuwahara added cautiously.

"Obviously a genius." Marui stopped halfway through his words, and continued after watching Kirihara's forehand return out of bounds, "Obviously a genius with bright eyes recommending Akaya to play doubles!"

The referee glanced towards Li Haida, and Kuwahara and Yagyu turned their heads to the other side in unison.

"40: 15."

"Hey, you guys are going too far!" Marui whispered, "What are you looking at?"

Then he was hit on the head by Sanada.

"Marui Bunta, watch the game quietly."

"game, Qingxue, 1:0"

"Senior, it's my fault, I made a mistake just now." Kirihara held three balls in his hand to shield his face, and whispered to Liu.

Shouldn't we discuss tactical deployment and how to make good use of the serving advantage at this time?Liu secretly slandered, but he didn't show it on his face, but comforted his junior: "It's okay, serve well. Where should you hit it?"

"what?"

"...It's okay, serve more steadily." Liu gave up, turned around and walked to the front court.Kirihara at the baseline was stunned for a moment, then picked a ball and threw it back to the caddy. The remaining two balls were stuffed into his pocket, and the other was slowly bouncing in his hand.

where?

Oh, which area is the serve?Qieyuan suddenly realized, but Liu had already taken his position, and the opposite side was obviously ready, so he couldn't say the angle he thought about.

The ball was served from the outer corner of the first area, and Haitang was guarding the net, and before the ball hit the ground, he raised his racket and pushed the ball back.Kirihara went up to midfield and hit the ball backhanded.After the four of them tossed and held their rackets in front of the net, Liu cut out a small ball with a curvature, and the ball circled behind Haitang.

"15:0"

The start was good, but Kirihara immediately made a double fault, and the score came to 15:15.

"It's okay, Chiya, calm down." Liu Yuanyuan squatted in the front field, but now he stood up and walked towards the baseline, wrapping his arms around the junior's shoulders.

"Senior, I..." Kirihara raised his racket to signal the caddy to throw the ball over, reached out to catch it, and threw the extra ball back, "I will definitely not hold back!"

"Don't take Jingshi's words too seriously." Liu whispered, "Calm down."

Probably after being warned by a double fault, Kirihara no longer blindly pursues speed in his serve.He slowed the ball down a bit and tried to improve the placement and angles instead.It's just that the state of serving in a game will not improve much. Kirihara's first serve goal rate in the last game is nothing more than 33%.

However, Li Haida still won the round smoothly, 1:1.

After three innings, there was a break, and when walking to the sidelines, Liu suddenly asked, "Chi Ye, didn't you sleep well yesterday?"

"Yes, ah, no, why did Senior Liu ask such a question?"

"I see you're overly excited." Yukimura continued, "I'm not in the right shape today, huh?"

Kirihara opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say.Yukimura tapped him on the shoulder and sat down on the chair.

"Don't worry." Liu comforted, glanced at the scoreboard, 2:1, Qingxue took the lead for the time being, but next was Lihaida's serve, strictly speaking they were not behind.

"Yeah." Kirihara puffed up his mouth and nodded, put the racket flat on his lap, held the water bottle and poured water with his head up.

In this game, Yoo served and Kirihara was at the net.Although Liu's serve was not as tricky as Qieyuan's normal state, it was not easy to deal with in general, but Qieyuan went wrong in this round.

In front of the net, he regarded the sideline of singles as the sideline of doubles, and he didn't try hard to chase the ball because it was about to go out of bounds. He just swung his racket symbolically.

As a result, he swung empty, only a few centimeters away from the ball.The undisturbed ball landed firmly in the doubles zone, and it was too late for Liu in the backcourt to chase.

The referee reported the score: "15:30"

There was laughter mixed in with the routine applause in the stands, and Kirihara's face turned red instantly.He turned around and walked towards Liu in embarrassment, without looking up.

This time, it was really holding Senior Liu back, why is it so useless.Kirihara didn't dare to look at the seniors on the sidelines, but he bet that Marui-senpai would have laughed with a week's worth of snacks.

Well, if Nioh-senpai came back, he must be laughing, and then he would be laughed at for a semester.

"It's okay Chiya, next point. Outside corner." Liu controlled his facial expression, held the ball in front of his face to block Quan as a cover, and pushed Kirihara back to the net.

However, they lost the next two points. The first point was a very beautiful winning point from a dry fight to help Qing Xue get a break point. The second point was that Kirihara hit the racket frame under a rather nervous and guilty situation. , the ball flew out in an instant, and finally wobbled a few times outside the field.

"out, game, Qingxue, 3:1."

Kirihara stood in front of the net and looked at the racket, raising his arm unnaturally, as if he wanted to smash the racket down.One of the four points Li Haida lost in the whole game was helpless, and the remaining three points were his unforced errors.

He clenched the racket tightly, the veins on the back of his hand jumped, and he let go of it in mid-air after a while.There was no downward impact and the racket landed flat and unharmed.

Seeing that he had lost this round, Liu Ben felt a pity in his heart, but he didn't think too much about it, and planned to go to the net to guard again.As soon as he came back to his senses, he saw Kirihara standing on the spot and let go of the racket, and his thoughts instantly drifted back to the singles Mikami in the final of the Kanto Tournament.

"Akaya." He sighed and walked forward, poking Kirihara's back knee with a racket halfway, "What are you thinking?"

"Senior Liu..."

"Pick up the racket and change it." Liu tapped the back of Kirihara's head with the racket, "It's just a headwind, can't you take it anymore?"

"This kid still doesn't know how to adjust when the score is behind." Yukimura sighed on the sidelines, watching Kirihara pick up the racket and walk towards the sidelines under Liu's urging.

The author has something to say:

If the racket is not broken, there will be no warning. In fact, when the racket is smashed, you know how it will be broken. Xiaoqie is still making progress!

Our Chi Ye is still not very good at playing against the wind. Being behind in the score is like the sky is about to fall.

It's true that you can play empty, and Xiao Qie plays too many singles, and it's normal to be confused on the court and not clear the sideline.
