[Net King] Fantasy White Night

Two days later, the U-17 "W Cup" league officially started.

Sixteen national teams gathered in New York. The competition schedule is expected to end within ten days. The opening and drawing ceremony on the first day, the group stage on the second day, the quarter-finals on the fourth day, and the semi-finals on the sixth day After the semi-finals, the teams that entered the final round will be given one day to adjust, and then the final will be held.

The U.S. team that Bai Ye is in and the Japanese team with whom he has a deep bond are not drawn in the same group, that is, before the final, he will not meet his past teammates on the field... But with the team that the U.S. team has always shown level, and the strength of the Japanese team that has suddenly become stronger in the past two years, both sides are very likely to break into the finals, and it is inevitable to have a showdown in the end.

In fact, as everyone expected, the Japanese team and the US team have passed the test all the way. Some teams from other countries that have performed well in the past, this year's performance is a bit sluggish, and they are not enough to deal with these two exceptionally strong teams.

As a matter of course, the Japanese team and the US team became No.1 in their respective groups and will compete for the final championship on the field.

As an individual, Bai Ye only participated in the singles two of the third round.The opponent's technical level is quite good, but he is not good at protracted battles. The young man with excellent physical fitness and endurance prolongs the battle infinitely, and finally exhausts his energy on the field. He loses his mobility before the second set .

After a short break, the Japanese team and the US team finally ushered in the final of the "W Cup".

On the day of the finals, except for the remaining 17 national teams gathered in the final venue, many local and surrounding residents bought tickets to watch the game, and even a few people from other states came here specially for the final. In New York, there are many sports media reporters who pay attention to U-[-] events, scouts from tennis clubs, and tennis association practitioners and professional players who are very concerned about youth tennis.

The participating representatives of both sides are teams composed of 20 people. The candidates and doubles combinations of each previous match are not exactly the same. Therefore, until the finals, the list and order of players participating in this round have not been clarified—except for the coach and their respective teams. Except for the captain, the others are completely unclear.

The rules of the finals are different from those of the group stage. Both sides are required to play five games. In the main match, three singles games and two double crossovers are played, that is, the order of the games is singles three (S3), doubles two (D2), singles two (S2), doubles one (S1).

The competition system is best of three sets, with a tiebreaker.

At nine o'clock, the game officially started, and the names and positions of the players from both sides appeared on the big screen in the stadium.

S3: American team captain Donald Reinhardt vs Japanese team captain Keigo Atobe;

D2: Alex Gibson and Shiraya Ito vs Genichiro Sanada and Renji Yanagi;

S2: Andrew Igley Jeff vs Fuji Shusuke;

D1: Echizen Ryuya and Kempin Smith vs Shiraishi Kuranosuke and Kirihara Akaya;

S1: Echizen Ryoma vs Tokugawa Kazuya.

As soon as the list came out, the other members of the Japanese team who failed to play were immediately embarrassed.

Seiichi Yukimura, who came to watch the final and got into the U-17 team in the front row of the auditorium, smiled and said, "The arrangements of the US team and the Japanese team coincide with each other!"

The first game will affect the overall situation, so it is not surprising that the two teams sent their respective captains.What makes people feel subtle is the arrangement of two pairs of doubles and one singles.

——Bai Ye’s opponent happened to be a combination of two Lihai teenagers; look at the doubles one, Kebin and Kirihara Chi also had a “feud” in the Japan-US friendly match, and Echizen Ryuya was once the representative of the Japanese team ; Finally, the relationship between Echizen Ryoma and Tokugawa Kazuya can be described as complicated and difficult to understand.

"Reinhardt, the younger brother of the former captain of the U.S. U-17 team," Sadaharu, the data man, held a notebook recording the data of the U.S. team, and introduced the opponents of the Japanese team to his teammates. "Left-handed, super skilled, calm thinking type A tennis player who is good at volleying, blocking and counter-smash, known as the 'cold-faced master'."

Kikumaru interjected: "What a cold-faced master, it sounds weird... I think he is the type who completely restrains Atobe!"

Gan continued: "Gipson is a type of strength and speed. His moves are quite tricky and his tennis style is very violent. Ito...everyone knows it."

"Igley Jeff, who was also one of the representatives of the U.S. side in the Japan-U.S. friendly match last year, has an outstanding precision play style, and is known as a 'tennis machine' because of his extremely precise ball path."

Marui opened his mouth wide: "Hey - is that an exaggeration..."

Echizen Ryuya and Kebin, the boys of the Japanese team are no strangers to them, so there is no need to talk about their strength.As for Echizen Ryoma in singles, everyone is even more familiar with it.

"Every game in this final is very worthy of attention." Qian Zhenzhi made the conclusion.

Nioh played with the little pigtail: "Pfft, it seems that the Japanese team still has some troubles if they want to win the championship."

Yukimura crossed his arms: "Isn't that interesting?"

For tennis players, a close match is more attractive than a one-sided rivalry. Winning a match is important, but if the opponent's strength is too weak, winning is meaningless.

On this side, a group of people were discussing in a hurry, and the first singles match on the field had already begun.

The captains of both sides have absolutely superb technology and extremely exquisite skills.At the beginning of the first set, the competition was quite intense.As the captain of the Japanese team, Atobe shouldered a much heavier burden than ordinary players. As soon as he entered the field, he launched a strong and swift attack. He did not deliberately lengthen the battle situation as usual to enjoy the fun of playing with the opponent.

Reinhardt deserves to be the captain of the US team. He is on par with Atobe in terms of reaction, speed, strength and technique. As Kikumaru said, the skills he is good at, to a considerable extent, happened to restrain Atobe's ability .

"Hey, the captain of the Japanese team is dying!" The silver-haired boy standing beside Bai Ye said cheerfully.

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows, stared at Atobe who was in trouble, and didn't worry about the other party at all—well, his thinking habit made him always accidentally forget his position, and paid more attention to the situation of the Japanese team——He Atobe group Having played doubles, he knows that Atobe's strength is far more than that.

Seeing that the long-haired boy ignored him, Gibson put his arms around his neck and said with a smile, "Is that kid your friend too?" referring to Atobe on the field.

Bai Ye, who was quite familiar with Gibson's nature of "pushing his nose on his face", didn't bother to pay attention to him, impatiently trying to push his hand away.

The young man who has practiced muay thai for many years seems to be developing towards Kong Wu's powerful muscular man. His strength is so great that Bai Ye can't break free for a while.

"Don't be so cold, Honey," Gibson said with a deadpan smile, "We're partners now."

Bai Ye felt speechless, and was about to speak. His particularly keen intuition made him notice several eyes directed at him——turning his head and looking over, he happened to meet Liu Lian'er, who was standing in the entrance area opposite the Japanese contestants. line of sight...

Gibson sneezed suddenly, raised his hand and rubbed his nose, and said puzzledly, "Why do you feel cold all of a sudden?"

Bai Ye took the opportunity to get rid of the other party's restraint, and distanced himself from the guy who was sneezing continuously, showing a trace of disgust on his face: The droplets are floating out, so disgusting!

The deadlock in the competition has been broken by Atobe.

Bai Ye looked at the people fighting back on the court, and it was not too surprising to find that compared with the state of the U-17 camp last year, Atobe's tennis has made breakthrough progress this year.

In terms of mental strength alone, Atobe, who has experienced Ochi Moonlight's "spiritual assassination", is obviously not something Reinhardt can easily handle.As the game continued to prolong, Atobe's advantages in the protracted battle became more apparent, gradually changing the original disadvantages.

The singles match lasted nearly two hours.

"Game, set and match, Atobe, 2 set to 1, 7-5, 4-6, 6-4."

In the end, Atobe won the first victory of the final for the Japanese team.

Compared with the cheers and applause of the Japanese team, the poor start of the American team made some players who did not see their opponents in the first place start to look at their opponents squarely.

"Let's see us next, Honey, if I'm not mistaken, both Sanada and Yanagi are your friends, right? Don't show mercy to them!"

Bai Ye squinted at the guy who talked more nonsense than himself: "You think too much, Alex."

Although, from a personal point of view, he is indeed biased towards the Japanese team, but as a tennis player, he still has basic professionalism... How can someone who came out of the Lihai University Tennis Club show mercy to his opponents on the court? — No matter who the opponent is.

The first singles game is over, and the next one is the doubles game.As the time approached noon, the organizer announced that the game was temporarily suspended and would resume in an hour.

After eating lunch, I decided on a tactical strategy with my partner, and then warmed up for the game in the afternoon.

……

"Although I already knew that Xiaobai is the representative of the American team, I still didn't expect him to have a confrontation with the deputy minister and Liu!"

In the auditorium, several teenagers from Lihai University were obviously very conflicted.

Kikumaru asked curiously: "Hey, which one is better at tennis, the minister's friend or your deputy minister?"

Marui was a bit asked, scratched the back of his head, and said hesitantly, "It should be...the deputy minister?"

Kikumaru said in surprise: "But in last year's national competition, he won Buer!" In Big Cat's mind, Genius Buer is an absolutely powerful character, unfathomable.

"Deputy Minister Sanada is of course stronger than Fuji-kun." The red-haired piggy said of course.

"That's not necessarily true." Apparently, the people in Qingxue were not convinced, "They have never compared..."

"It's started." Qian Zhenzhi suddenly said, interrupting the argument between the two.

In front of the net, Bai Ye, Gibson, Sanada and Yanagi Renji stood looking at each other.

Faintly, it seems that there is a smell of gunpowder smoke.

Gibson was the first to speak, dispelling the suddenly tense atmosphere, with a smile on his face that looked a bit flat: "Hey, you guys are Honey's former teammates, right?" He put a hand on Bai Ye's shoulder restlessly, "Let me experience it today... Hmm, the strength of 'The King Li Hai Da', I hope you don't disappoint me too much."

Bai Ye glanced at his temporary partner, feeling a little strange in his heart: I don't know how Gibson knew the title of "King Li Haida"?

Sanada stared blankly at his opponent.

Liu Lian'er said slowly, with a calm tone: "We are also looking forward to the next game." His eyes were cast on Bai Ye, "Please give me your advice."

Bai Ye hooked the corners of his mouth, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the guy who suddenly laughed.

"Pfft, Honey, this guy likes you," the so-called words are not surprising, and Gibson doesn't care about other people's faces and where they are. Laughing, "Has he ever confessed his love to you?" Without waiting for the other party to answer, he looked at the brunette boy with critical and provocative eyes, shook his head and sighed, "It looks too weak and unworthy of you, Honey . " The more I talked, the more proud I became, and I even boasted, "I'm looking for a boyfriend with a muscular body like me..."

Bai Ye frowned, and snorted softly: "Muscles are strong, but brains are simple!"

"Hey, where am I so simple-minded?"

"Too slack!" Sanada scolded in a deep voice, "This is the U-17 finals, please don't smile, be serious!"

The strategist, who was ridiculed by Gibson maliciously, did not change his face, and said calmly, as if he didn't care about what Gibson said, "It's finished? Please start, Mr. Gibson!"

Watching Liu Lian Er, Bai Ye slightly raised his eyebrows, then smiled lightly...

Clearly, Gibson's psychological tactic of provoking his opponent failed completely.As shrewd and calm as Liu Lian, she won't lose control just because of a word or two from others.

At this time, the referee's voice sounded.

The second doubles, the first game of the first set, Gibson serves!
