Net King Returns to the First Generation

The day of the game is coming soon.

The weather in August is still very muggy, and there is no shelter on the court.Nioh raised his hand and put it on top of his head from the moment he got out of the car. It didn't really work, but he felt better psychologically.He can do things like open an umbrella on the court, but the teammates around him will not allow it at all.Then we have to...

As soon as he finished the pre-match etiquette, he returned to the rest area, took off the coat he was just wearing and covered it over his head, and his upper body lay forward on the armrest.

"You really...do you hate the sun so much?" Yagyu took off his jacket and took out his racket to prepare for the warm-up, when he saw the strange (?) Nioh at a glance.

"It's not the first day you know me." King Ni responded.

"Yes, yes, I feel more and more that getting to know you is the most worthwhile reflection in my life." Liu Sheng pushed his glasses.He put the tennis bag next to Nioh, and took out the racket from it.

Although it was the semi-finals, not many people came to see the game.

Except for the ordinary members of the two schools who each occupied a part of the auditorium, there were almost no people from other schools.

In the eyes of most people, there is no doubt about the result of the match between Li Haida and Nagoya Xingde.Instead of watching such a suspenseless game, it is better to watch the match between Qingxue and Sitianbaosi next door.Not to mention more ornamental value, you can also do a prize quiz.

Nioh still has a vague impression of this match in his previous life.At that time, the third-year students of Rikkai University, who wanted to draw out Kirihara’s selfless state that appeared in the match with Fuji, discussed and acted in a scene where the acting skills were not too distracting. In the end, they failed to let the younger generation enter the selfless state. On the contrary, it made the demon state go one step further... It was the most failed plan.

Fortunately, there is no need to do such a plan this time.

Although he is still a little ignorant and has a rather reckless personality, in the Japan-US open friendly match a few weeks ago, even if he was injured, he was able to control himself and enter the state of selflessness, and in that situation he was also able to control Kirihara, who was not red-eyed. Kirihara, who was forced to adjust his diet and living habits for more than a year at the most extraordinary age, is already the next trusted leader of Lihai University.

It's just that Liu accidentally remembered what he said "everyone can play doubles" in order to make his juniors obedient when he was sleeping together, and he also thought of the junior who acted like a baby to him after giving up the Japan-US friendly match...

Well, why don't you just double play once?

He made a suggestion to Yukimura first, and Yukimura agreed without much hesitation.

"It's good, it's time for Akaya to experience the feeling of doubles." Yukimura said with a smile.

Liu opened the notebook: "Speaking of this topic, I remember you said last year that you wanted to play doubles with Nioh? It seems that there is no chance this year."

Yukimura suddenly laughed out loud when he heard that, he raised his hand and stroked his chin: "I played doubles with Nioh? We've already done it."

"...When?!" Liu was shocked, "Did I miss such important data!"

"Not so long ago, it's not a formal competition." Yukimura described it this way, "It's just a big harvest."

Liu was still shocked by the news: "Did I actually miss your doubles! I didn't collect such important data! My God, when did you play doubles!..."

"Renji?" Yukimura who called him but got no response raised his eyebrows, and his smile became brighter.

The camera zoomed back to the semi-final match.

Yagyu, who played three times in singles, won the match without much effort.

It has only been nearly two years since he started practicing tennis seriously. To be able to stand firmly in the main selection camp of Lihai University in such a short period of time and get very good comments has already proved the strength of his nicknamed "Gentleman" .

But for Yagyu, there is one thing that cannot be ignored from the moment he started practicing tennis seriously.

It is Nioh Masaharu.

At first, he was infected by Nioh's concentration on the court and his enthusiasm that seemed to burn everything, and then he came up with the idea of ​​practicing tennis.

When Nioh stated his request for a partner competition, he was clearly in a happy mood.

just...just...

What Yagyu couldn't forget was that no matter how hard he practiced and how he was praised for his rapid progress, as he got to know more about tennis, the more he felt that the gap between him and Nioh...was too big.

It is so big that there is more than one gap in the middle.

The match with Senior Maori before the final of the Kanto Tournament made it impossible for him to ignore that thought anymore.When I have reached the point where I have no choice but to lose my way, the partner standing beside me still looks like he can do a job with ease...

What Senior Maori said was right, his partner with Nioh has become like a kind of accommodation.

I, Yagyu Hiroshi...can only do that?

It's not that I'm obsessed with the status of Nioh's partner, but at least don't let others have the attitude of "ah, he, how can I do it"?

Foreign opponents who are good at rough play?

Heh, if he can't even deal with this kind of person, then he should give up tennis as soon as possible!

Liu Sheng thought so.

Facing the scoreboard of 6-2 and the opponent who couldn’t believe he was swearing, he pushed his glasses: “I’m sorry, but this is the outcome. Verbal attacks can only show your ignorance and weakness. goodbye."

Note that Yagyu said the above sentence in English.

And, very official, standard, with a Cockney accent...English.

Kirihara, who was preparing for the second doubles on the sidelines, raised his head in a daze: "What are you talking about between Yagyu-senpai and that rough-looking opponent?"

Marui laughed out loud, he choked on the chewing gum in his mouth, he managed to swallow the gum and recovered: "Hahaha Akaya you...it's great to complain about your opponent's rough appearance! Hahaha .”

"...Marui-senpai, you laughed too much." Kirihara looked at Marui who was leaning forward and backward with disgust.

After patting his chest, Marui took out a new chewing gum and started chewing again. He patted Kuwahara's knee sitting next to him: "Jack, you can translate."

"...Huh? Me?" Kuwahara pointed at himself without reacting.

"Do you have any comments?" Marui looked at him sideways, "Ah, I forgot that Jack, your English is not very good. Really, how can you not be good at English if you are a mixed race?"

He turned his head to look at King Ren who was lying on his stomach, ignoring Sang Yuan's unlovely face and the voice of "Wentai, you...": "King Ren, are you here to translate?"

Nioh lazily changed his posture slightly and turned his head: "What is there to translate, that is, the opponent has been swearing in English, and Yagyu is responding in English."

"... Senior Yagyu is also swearing?" Kirihara opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"Response, it's not cursing." Nioh corrected, "It's the words like 'this is the outcome' that he usually said in other games. And Bunta, don't keep burying Kuwahara. Look back See his expression?"

Although Kuwabara doesn't look like a mixed race (foreigner) except for his face and body, there's no need to complain about this kind of thing all the time.

Marui didn't take Nioh's words seriously: "Ann, this is how I get along with Jack. Why don't you think that the way you and Yagyu always get along with cynicism is not right?"

"Because that's our way of expressing intimacy." Yagyu, who walked off the court, just heard Marui's words, and responded.

Marui spread out his hands: "So, it's our way of getting along when I bury Jack. Right Jack?"

"...Really." Kuwahara continued to look hopeless.

"Hey, hey, what's your opinion on this expression?" Marui looked at him sideways.

Kuwahara shook his head quickly and coughed lightly: "Well, no, I have no objection."

While the group of teammates gags, Yoo is ready to play.

He patted his shoulder: "Let's go, Chi Ye."

"Yes, Senior Liu!"

Li Haida's appearance order has always been very free and unrestrained.What completes this is the various training derived from the basic training list left by the coaches of the university department.

Restricted battles, half-court offense and defense, doubles coordination training, orienteering cross-country dribbling version, etc...

After going through a period of instability in the first year of junior high school, Kirihara, who has officially gained a firm foothold in the main selection, has also participated in doubles training many times.

As for the effect, it can only be said to be the same as Sanada.

But Sanada can play decent cooperation with Atobe (although the time is very short), maybe Kirihara also has a particularly tacit partner?

Liu, who was always worried about the training status of the members, after considering that Kirihara had unknowingly developed a little dependence on him, the first partner he considered became himself.

This is the reason why he proposed doubles to Yukimura, and Yukimura quickly agreed.

King Lihaida cannot have shortcomings!

...Although Kirihara, the next minister, has almost no chance of playing doubles in the future, but as long as there is such a zero-to-one possibility, he must plan ahead!

Ideal is plump, reality is skinny.

Nioh watched the game on his stomach and couldn't help yawning: "Doubles are like this..."

Marui also nodded and echoed Nioh's words: "Akaya is still suitable for singles."

"Is it really similar to you Sanada?" Yukimura turned around and laughed and teased Sanada, "Not only the fighting spirit of repeated defeats and the occasional irritable personality, but even the fact that you are not good at doubles are exactly the same."

Sanada, who was shot again, raised his hand and pressed the brim of his hat.

Kirihara's seniors didn't interfere much in his playing style, so he retained his already strong personal style - bold and unrestrained.

Kirihara, who is deeply influenced by video games, is completely aggressive once he gets serious.Using the game he likes as a metaphor, it is the main attacker?High offense and low defense are also crispy.

As a statistical player, Liu is capable of attacking and defending, and has strong persistence, and his ability to control the field is not weak.Taken together, he could be considered a player of the control system.

Logically speaking, the combination of the main attacker and the control system should be a very good combination.

But in fact, the rhythm of these two people can't match up very well.

Liu can indeed cooperate with Kirihara, and can also make Qieryuan's mood calm, but that kind of cooperation can only be said to be barely strong.

Fortunately, their strength is more than a bit higher than that of their opponents.

Knowing that the opponent's style of play was savage before the start of the game, Yanagi indulged Kirihara's style of getting into the state very quickly, and calmed Kirihara's emotions when Kirihara was attacked and became angry, and cooperated with the attack with precise skills.

The final score stood at 6-3.

It's not a particularly beautiful score, but just looking at the game time, you can tell that the pace of the game is not normal.

The game ended in 10 minutes...

"Ah, it's 10 minutes!" Kirihara showed dissatisfaction as he walked off the court, "I also said it would end at 13 minutes!"

"...Why are you still obsessed with the 13-minute record?" Marui said speechlessly.

Yukimura folded his arms and looked at Yanagi and Kirihara who left the field with a smile: "Akaya, how does it feel to play doubles?"

Kirihara, who walked back to the rest area, raised his hand and scratched his hair: "It's almost like playing singles?"

Nioh finally got up from his seat and couldn't help squinting his eyes the moment he lifted his coat. He took out his tennis racket in a bad mood: "Don't ask Chiya this kind of question. Obviously It’s two people playing singles on the doubles court.”

"No, I firmly believe that we still cooperate." Liu said seriously.

……are you serious?

Niwang glanced at Liu.

He decided not to delve into the question.After taking two steps to the field, Niwang squatted down and began to stretch: "Pfft, the sun is getting bigger and bigger."

"If you don't like Taiyang Da, let's end the game quickly." Yukimura looked at him with a smile, "This way we can still catch up with lunch."

"...Shouldn't it be said that we can catch up with the match between Qingxue and Sitianbaosi next door?" King Ren looked up at him, "Should we care about our opponent in the final."

"Anyway, neither Qingxue nor Shitenbaoji will be our opponent." Yukimura replied.

"Now the second singles match will start, with the High School Affiliated to Rikai University, Nioh Masaharu VS Nagoya Hoshitoku, Lilia Andre and Usagi!"

"A round will decide the outcome, and Tibetan Rabbit will serve!"

In the first grade, he was arranged as the trump card of the foreign student lineup in the second singles match, which shows the strength of Tibetan Rabbit.

The German teenager with long light blond hair has a uniquely European stern face and a particularly mature appearance and figure.This is a unique condition.He blankly glanced at the silver-haired boy opposite with an inexplicable smile, and threw the tennis ball.

Snapped!

Powerful.

Nioh ran to the point where the ball landed, and added a spin without any hassle.

Even if he doesn't like the sun, when running on the tennis court, other factors will be excluded from his mind by Nioh.Only calm.

Calmness is already Nioh's standard reaction when he picks up his racket.

At the start of the game whistle, the basic layout of the whole game is automatically established, and as the game progresses, the plan is improved or changed step by step, and the rhythm of the whole game is controlled... This style of play is probably similar to the ultimate talent. ?

But Nioh did not enter the state of extreme talent.

He always feels that the state of selflessness and the three states derived from it will to a certain extent pull emotions and affect the calm thinking of the whole person.Once affected, his unique "Phantom" style of play will be discounted in power.

Influenced by Echizen Minamijiro, the Japanese tennis world advocates the pursuit of the three extremes.

But Nioh still has self-confidence: Even if I don't go in the direction of the three extremes, it doesn't mean I can't go to a very high position.

And the game three weeks ago... also made him more sure of this.

Is Nagoya Hoshitoku's first-year student...?

It is true that he is a talented foreign student, but even if the Europeans are in good physical condition, the first grade is still too young!

After the rotation was added, Nioh's range of activities gradually became fixed at one position.

Tezuka field.

...Uh, or maybe it's Federer's field?

"Gamewonby Nioh, 1-0!"

Second round...

Tannweiser serves!

"Gamewonby Nioh, 2-0!"

The third game...

Tezuka domain, Furin volcano...

"Gamewonby Nioh, 3-0!"

Fourth inning...

Zero serve!

"Gamewonby Nioh, 4-0!"

Fifth inning...

Continue Tezuka domain and Furin volcano!

It was almost the end of the fifth game in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, Tibetan Rabbit, who lost five rounds without even scoring a point, looked at King Ni with a long time ago.He raised his hand, and this time, he used his famous trick, the execution of the cross!

It's just that this trick is of no use to King Ni.

In addition to offensive moves, if you can see through the route and rotation of the ball, there will be no such problem of being unable to fight back.

And this move of Tibetan Rabbit Zodiac is indeed very strong in terms of strength and attack power, but for King Ni...

Having seen the tricks of the transitional seniors and ghost seniors, is it possible for him to find it difficult to deal with such a move that is not as aggressive as the wave ball (after all, for Nioh, strength is hard work and skill is good at it) ?

Facing this ball, Nioh retreated instead of advancing.

He switched the racquet from his left hand to his right, turned sideways to face the tennis ball forehand, at an angle of thirty degrees down, and the racket at an upward angle of fifteen degrees.

When the racket surface touches the tennis ball, the wrist of the right hand is rotated slightly, so that the racket is tilted from [-] degrees upwards to [-] degrees downwards, and the elbows are retracted, and then follow the original route The racket goes up until it becomes ninety degrees perpendicular to the ground.

In such a process, the tennis ball naturally draws two circles around the one-third and two-thirds points of the racket face along the original rotation direction.

It becomes a super spin ball with ease.

When the racket turned to [-] degrees, Nioh seemed to just swing the racket casually...

huh~

Boom!

The curved arc of the tennis ball due to the strong rotation and the resulting faster speed make the friction sound of the tennis ball and the air particularly obvious.After almost a flash of light, Tibetan Rabbit didn't have time to react when the opponent hit his trick back, and found that the tennis ball had appeared in front of him.

! !

He couldn't help but took a step back, but it was useless, the tennis ball almost returning with the same trajectory slammed on himself.

Zodiac Rabbit, who was driven backward by this force, only felt a pain in his back.

pat.

The tennis ball fell from an innocuous place just below Capricorn's collarbone.

The force of the ball caused the Tibetan Rabbit to be embedded in the barbed wire.

This effect...

"Crucifixion?" The others in Nagoya Xingde shouted in disbelief, "Isn't this Lilia Ander's move? How could it... be used by that white-haired opponent?"

yes……

how could be?

Niwang raised his lips and smiled.

And Tibetan Rabbit, who was struggling to get back to the ground from the barbed wire, rubbed the place where he was hit by the tennis ball. The pain was not obvious. Although he was hit by the ball, most of the force was used to make him fly on the barbed wire?

The effect was much gentler than his crucifixion.

But... that kind of strength, rotation and speed are obviously much more powerful than his crucifixion.

The opposing player named Masaharu Nioh... who the hell is he?

"Gamewonby Nioh, 5-0!"

"Puff, it's about to end." Nioh said so, before the start of his last serve, he raised the corner of his mouth towards the rabbit.

Zero serve!

"Gamewonby Nioh, 6-0!"

During the post-match etiquette, Zodiac Rabbit couldn't help asking Niwang: "The trick just now..."

His Japanese is still a bit blunt, but with his deep voice, it is not surprising.

Nioh pinched the pigtail: "The one just now? It's just an ordinary return ball."

"But..." Tibetan rabbit frowned.

"Pfft, don't you guys do some basic research on your opponents before the Nagoya Star Derby match?" Nioh raised a finger, "Isn't that too conceited? It's time to find out, my tennis style and basics. Tricks."

……is that so?

Looking at the back of King Ni who turned around, Zodiac Rabbit secretly clenched his fists.

Nioh, who returned to the rest area, suddenly asked, "How long did the game take just now?"

Liu, who was wearing a stopwatch to collect data, raised his head: "Twelve minutes. A new record. Nioh, did you do it on purpose?"

"Puff, what do you think?" King Ren tilted his head and smiled, "At least it's more difficult for Chi Ye to break the record."

"...What is it, Senior Nioh, it's too hateful!" This was Kirihara's response to this conversation after he realized it.
