At the end of the run, the crowd basically dispersed. Tezuka looked back and looked around. They ran all the way to the road next to them, and there were only a few people from Oishi Echizen Marui Kirihara Atobu next to them.

"Let's find a way to go back to the hotel first." Dashi suggested.

This is also the most suitable way. The swimming trunks on them are a big problem. Not to mention the mobile phones and even money, there are only a few around them. There are no road signs here. For a while, they really don't know what to do.

Echizen's sharp eyes spotted a motorcycle coming in this direction in the distance. The opponent was wearing a team uniform with the American flag. He was shocked to find that the one in the back seat was Echizen Ryuya.

Echizen Ryuya didn't expect him to appear here, and immediately stopped the car. The driver should be his teammate who asked curiously, but Echizen Ryuya dismissed him with "my brother".

Echizen Ryuya approached eagerly, turning a blind eye to everyone except Echizen Ryoma: "Little boy, my brother is already a member of the U.S. team, do you want to join?"

Echizen Ryoma pressed down on the brim of his hat, a little embarrassed, Tezuka stretched out his hand between them, separated them with a slight movement, Echizen Ryoma finally had room to breathe behind him, Echizen Ryoma's excessive enthusiasm was true It's a bit unbearable.

"Thank you so much, Echizen... Ryoma is a member of the Japanese national team."

Several other people also cooperated with each other, and Echizen Ryoma looked up at Echizen Ryuya: "I have already decided to stay in the Japanese team."

Echizen Ryuya, who already had a premonition that he would not succeed in poaching, sighed regretfully, and tried to talk to his brother, but was ruthlessly caught by his brother on the motorcycle, and then dragged away by his equally ruthless teammates.

"Finally gone..." I don't know who said this, but they can indeed breathe a sigh of relief.

"Okay, how should we go back then?"

"Who remembers where the hotel is?"

"Me me! I know!"

Kirihara swiftly took out a handful of change bills, and Marui was surprised to find that most of the money was local banknotes that had already been exchanged. It seemed that they were afraid that Kirihara would get lost here and they were unfamiliar with the place. I had the business cards of the hotel where they stayed, but I didn't expect it to come in handy.

Tezuka patted him on the shoulder: "Nice job."

So they went back to the hotel smoothly, gathered with the big team, and shared the information that Echizen Ryuya had joined the US team by the way.

No matter who the opponent is, they are here to win the world.

There is still some distance to the real venue for the competition. They stayed here to adapt to the venue, and there are always people who cannot adapt to the fatigue brought by the long-distance flight. Already set off early.

As soon as they got off the plane, they were notified to draw lots, but it was not an official game, but a draw for the warm-up match before the World Cup.

Byodoin Phoenix and Tezuka Kunimitsu were both present as captains, but Oishi also went with them as vice-teams. They put on suits with the Japanese national flag on their scarves.

There were many people in the lottery hall, and the old god of Byodoin was waiting quietly in his seat, but Oishi couldn't calm down a little. Tezuka comforted him: "It's just a lottery, Oishi, don't be too nervous."

Byodoin also said indifferently: "On the eve of the World Cup, tomorrow will be a whole day of exhibition time. Players from all over the world will appear. It's like a warm-up before the official game, boy..." Not up there, but as the leader of the senior team, he explained quite completely. It was the first time Tezuka knew about it. He nodded seriously, and Oishi gradually relaxed a little.

"High school students and junior high school students from all over the world form a doubles, send three teams to compete, and show the demeanor of each country to the sponsors and the media... The battle has already begun! There are countries that have hidden combat power and are fighting with all their strength."

Oishi lifted his heart from letting go, Tezuka was helpless, this is the arena of the world, it is very likely to meet former acquaintances, after all, the hot match is not an official match, and it has little effect on the national ranking. It is normal for everyone to have their own ideas. The words of comfort from Senior Byodoin put a different kind of pressure on Oishi, who was already nervous. He said unhurriedly, "Oishi, the lottery will start soon."

Oishi immediately stopped hesitating, and took his seat on the vacant seat without the stiff attitude just now. Byodoin snorted inexplicably, and the lights of the audience were focused on the stage host and the huge lottery device in the center of the stage. .

Members of the national teams came to the stage to draw lots in order, and occasionally some people accepted interviews with a familiar attitude. Tezuka thought about it, and the opponents seemed to be very well-ranked teams, and even the top four in the world.

"Thenextis Japan!"

Byodoin, who was supposed to get up, suddenly called Dashi's name, and both of them were taken aback for a moment, and Byodoin raised his eyes and stared: "What are you doing in a daze, go draw lots!"

Dashi stood up abruptly, and almost staggered when he ran up the steps because of his footsteps. He was instructed to draw lots, and the results were announced and displayed on the big screen.

"Number seven."

Tezuka's tone was low, and Byodoin also wanted to laugh inexplicably: "The German team."

Oishi had heard of the dominance of the German team before this. The Japanese team ranked very far behind. As a result, they came up against the world’s number one German team. Oishi’s heart was half cold, and he returned to his position with heavy steps. He felt guilty. Lowering his head: "I'm sorry, I got the German team..." How could he be so unlucky, "Sorry, boss, captain!"

The high school students still quite recognize the status of Byodoin as the team leader. Although it doesn't matter whether they recognize it or not. There were not many who honestly called the team leader, but they learned to call the leader following Maori and the others. Tezuka was called the captain a few times. I had quite complicated senses, and finally chose to let them go.

"Nice job, bald boy!"

"I want to thank you, Oishi."

One unruly and one low, completely different tones said the same meaning. Dashi raised his head in astonishment, only to realize that the two of them were not in the slightest dignified. There is a slight smile.

"I've always wanted to play against the German team." Tezuka's tone was no lie.

The tone of the Byodoin Institute is firm: "Playing against the strongest German team is the best opportunity to verify our current strength."

Dashi was persuaded, clenched his fists and nodded fiercely: "Yes!"

The lottery results were all announced, and the meeting was over. Tezuka Oishi followed Byodoin, and just two steps away, he met Polk, who also came to the lottery, and Frankensteiner behind him.

Tezuka was able to recognize the other party entirely by relying on the information given by the coaching staff, and the other party's epiphany expression that seemed to recognize him, but Tezuka couldn't remember whether they had ever met before. After bowing to him, he focused all his attention on Bo Erke.

"Long time no see, Guoguang."

"Long time no see, Mr. Polk."

Mr. Polk has a stable temperament as always. Although Tezuka did not agree to join the German team, he still respects him very much. Most of the reasons why he wants to play against the German team are because of the opponent. Polk calmly expressed that they failed to become The regret of his teammates, and after properly expressing his blessings, he took them away.

Byodoin didn't have the heart to stop them here, but Oishi asked cautiously on the way back, "Tezuka?"

It may be that Tezuka's silence from beginning to end caused some misunderstandings, he shook his head: "Mr. Polke once gave me a lot of help when I went to Germany, but he is also the leader of the German team, I know very well. "

The other party also knew this very well. A personal relationship is a personal relationship, and a team is a team. Polk's blessing is only for him to improve, not for his team.

We must do our best tomorrow.

Tezuka thought.

Byodoin seemed to see what he was thinking, sneered, folded his arms and closed his eyes as if he had fallen asleep again.

The junior high school students gathered in the lounge waiting for them to come back to announce the result of the lottery. Oishi opened the door happily and shared the good news that his opponent was the number one in the world.

Tezuka was only one step late and saw Oishi being surrounded by dissatisfied teammates when he entered the door. He was speechless for a while, but he also understood that it was completely normal to be angry: "...cough."

After everyone made a fuss, the anger that seemed to be a prank was also vented, and the serious side returned. Yukimura, who was completely uninvolved, sat on the sofa and smiled and said: "Tezuka."

Tezuka stepped into the room, and he and Byodoin went to the coaching staff first to inform the lottery result, and it was a step too late to bump into the scene where Oishi was "bullyed".

Obviously, he is usually a very reliable minister, but at this time, he is completely different from Yukimura and the others. Kirihara usually does not dare to offend Yukimura even if he dances. Tezuka stretched out his hand and pulled Oishi up. Maybe this is also Oishi who is easy to get along with Behave.

"Although the result of the draw is not ordinary, I am looking forward to playing against the German team, the strongest team in the world."

With the beginning of Tezuka, Shiraishi Yukimura and the others expressed their approval of the result, even Sanada and the others who just reprimanded him for drawing bad lots, Oishi moved his head up, and then was given a blow,

"But Dashi, your luck is still too bad, I won't change my mind!"

Liu Gan also brought the information of the German team for everyone to read. The opponent has three new professional players this time, and there are also well-known players in the team, and the German team has been dominating for nine consecutive years. The confidence brought by strength also allows them to have countless supporters. Even if they are abroad, they may have the advantage of playing at home.

The teammates may have seen his gratitude and respect for Mr. Polk from Tezuka's attitude, so they didn't even ask about the intelligence of the German team because of his feelings.

But Tezuka didn't really care about these things: "Mr. Polk and the others also know my information." Data and intelligence are actually mutual, since they are opponents, they must look like opponents.

The coaching staff appreciates his calmness and perseverance, but Tezuka said that he actually doesn’t know more than the coaching staff. As far as intelligence is concerned, if he is really well known, then he will not be a member of the Japanese team, so he will not be a member of the Japanese team. Just for reference.

Mr. Polk's unique skill is hard to describe, but everyone can see his strength from his outstanding record. Tezuka also knows two junior high school players in the information. De and Luca Nicklaus.

The latter has a good reputation with him. They haven't played 100% all-out yet, but Tezuka seems to have good patience. The elite textbook style of play is a bit like Tokugawa. As for the former...

"Is it bad temper?"

The dry lenses flickered: "Is there a story?"

Tezuka's temper is not bad, what had to happen in the first place to get such an evaluation from him?

Others also came over and heard the melon, Marui respectfully spread out his hands: "Please tell me."

Tezuka looked at them helplessly, and in a flat tone, he finished the whole process of being provoked and passionately fighting against others, and then defeated the opponent effortlessly. Brainstorming, Tezuka overwhelmed Tezuka's emotionless reading, and after listening to Tezuka, he received an invitation to beat the other party before leaving contentedly.

Atobe nodded: "It's pretty gorgeous."

Sanada also agrees: "Don't be swayed by the opponent's attitude, this is the correct way to fight the enemy."

Tezuka frowned, did you really think you were listening to a story?

Back to the topic, even Tezuka is not sure whether their progress will be unexpected, so he can only give a reference. The opponent is the German team, which has won nine consecutive victories, so it is impossible to be too cautious.

Baishi exhaled, raised his head and smiled: "A big challenge!"

Echizen pressed the brim of his hat, and also smiled: "Isn't that great?"

The stronger the opponent, the better. After all, none of them in this group have ever thought of challenging the great powers. With mental preparation, this kind of result will only greatly fuel their ambitions.

Tezuka raised his head, looked at Yukimura and the others, and looked down at the palm of his hand. He slowly clenched his fists: "It doesn't matter whether it's cutting Renba or Renba." It's not a big problem.

Tezuka, not just him, they all already had a wealth of experience.

Just wait for the official match tomorrow, and actually meet each other on the field.
