The Strongest in Prince of Tennis

Chapter 694 Outside strokes (8000 words, four in one)

Montevideo.

La Plata Stadium.

It’s nine-fifteen in the morning.

“U*Ruguay, come on!”

“Tepra, lead us to Uruguay to win this round. We are now only six points away from the 32nd place, and only 21 points away from the 31st place.”

“Defeat the opponent and score the U17 Cup!”

“Uruguay will win!””

Come on loudly.

Although the La Plata Stadium can accommodate not many spectators, only three thousand people, the atmosphere inside the stadium is very warm, and the loudness of the cheering is no less than that of the top court that can accommodate more than ten thousand spectators. The period of intense mobilization.

On the right side of the court.

A resting area for the away team players.

The seat on the far right.

“Snee!”

Kikumaru suddenly sneezed.

“Really, I have taken medicine tomorrow morning, and it’s still not good now.”

“Fortunately, I had already played the game the day before yesterday. Otherwise, even if Shimura arranged for me to play today, I wouldn’t be able to play today.”

Kikumaru murmured.

At the same time, he rubbed his itchy nose.

Although the sound around the court is very loud and the atmosphere is very warm, but Kikumaru, Seigaku’s most active and active player, his spirit seems a little wilted.

Location next to Kikumaru.

“Eiji, the cold medicine doesn’t work as quickly as that.”

Oishi shook his head and said.

Almost immediately after the voice fell

“Ahie!

The other person in Seigaku’s golden doubles, Oishi who was comforting Kikumaru, suddenly sneezed.

Right behind Oishi and Kikumaru.

“There was a sudden power outage in the hotel at two o’clock in the morning. As a result, all the air-conditioning in our rooms stopped. Although Shimura responded to the power outage as soon as possible and made a response to the hotel, the electricity supply was still restored at around three in the morning. ”

“At two o’clock in the morning when people sleep the most deeply, even if the surrounding environment changes, it is difficult to wake up in a short time.”

“At 3:30 in the morning, after everyone basically fell asleep again, except for Shimura, who was the first to find out that the room was out of power and responded to the hotel, and the rooms where Daegu-senpai, Kiki-senpai, Watanabe-senpai, Tanegashima-senpai and others who had experience participating in overseas expeditions were located. In addition, other rooms suddenly went out of power again, and our room did not restore power until dawn.”

“The abnormal power outage, coupled with the enthusiasm of the spectators in the stands for their country’s team to win, the probability that the power outage last night was artificially caused more than 95%, out of weakening our Strength gives the Uruguay team a better chance to win and the probability of doing so exceeds 90%.”

Gan said with his glasses.

“The start of the game is 9:30, and we will have to hand in the list of players in five minutes.”

“There is a ten-minute difference between the time when the roster is handed in and the time when the game starts.

“Although the referee for the expedition is from the International Tennis Association, it is difficult for the opponent to make moves during the game. However, judging from the fact that the opponent has used the outside move when he is in the hotel and the current ranking of the Uruguay team, our The names of the players are likely to be known by the Uruguay side before the start of the game.”Gan then analyzed.

He also looked at the location of Zhicun.

“It’s not possible, but basically it will.”

Duke Watanabe said in Weng Sheng.

Sitting on the right side of Shimura, he has represented Japan U17 expeditions many times this year, and he has also represented the French U17 as a French player on many occasions. Players.

“As the boss said, the world cannot be obtained by virtue of benevolence.

“I have seen this kind of thing many times when relying on our own home court advantage to use small methods in overseas expeditions.”

“U*Ruguay’s 08 points are only one step away from the 32nd place in the world. Today’s game is very important for them. Although Uruguay’s international reputation is fairly good, From yesterday’s power outage, it can be seen that in today’s game, their off-court lower limit is lower than that of most teams that are not as good as theirs.”

“We obtained our list of players by off-market means, and then handed in their list after making targeted arrangements. It is normal for things like this to happen today.’

“Junior high school students, the world is more sinister than you think.”

“If it hadn’t been for the team’s points distance to be able to participate in this year’s U17 Cup, they would not have much desire for victory. The day before yesterday, you would not have won so easily in the round.”

Watanabe continued.

“Get our list in advance, and then make targeted arrangements. Senior Watanabe, what will they really do?”

“This is too much, too unfair!”

Kikumaru’s complexion changed.

Sitting next to Kikumaru, Oishi, a high school student who participated in the expedition for the first time, was a Tokugawa who had received elite tennis education and also had no expedition experience before joining the training camp.

Their complexions also changed slightly.

“Don’t worry too much.

On the seat in the center of the first row of the rest area, Shimura said: “The world is indeed not obtained by virtue of benevolence, but it cannot be obtained by means of small means.”

“Of all the U17 teams in all countries in the world, the reputation is the worst, the most frequently used off-board moves, and the lower limit of off-board moves is very low. The U17 team of the Republic of Summer Crown Republic, they barely squeezed into the U17 Cup last year. And almost completely lost in the competition with the top ten teams in the world.”

“We have a lot more points than any team ranked seventh in the world and below, and we are also stronger. Even if many of us have a cold, many of us did not rest yesterday, our strength is far in the world rankings. The tenth is above the Czech Republic.

Shimura looked at Kikumaru and others and said.

time flies.

The ninth minute after handing in the players’ roster.

Nine twenty-nine.

“U*Ruguay, come on!”

“Win all the games in one go!”

“The Tatum brothers will win and help us make a good start in this game!”

The Uruguayan audience in the stands made their voices covering the entire court, and their cheering sounds were louder than ever before.

side of the court.

The front of the home team rest area.

The pair is about 1.8 meters tall, slender, with golden curly hair, and looks completely inferior. There are idol star twins and they are standing up.

The other side of the court.

“It’s the Tatum brothers who played. It seems that our roster has indeed leaked.”

Dry brows slightly frowned and said.

“The Tatum brothers, the idol twin doubles of the Uruguay team, although the two of them are famous, most of the time they are only the third choice among the Uruguay doubles.””They are in desperate need to get points, and the points they face are ranked sixth in the world. In this case, they did not send the two sets of doubles that they depended on, but sent the comprehensive strength although not very strong, but small skills. He has excellent evasion and evasion ability, and he is very good at dealing with the Tatum brothers combination of power players.

“Indeed, our preliminary list was leaked, and the probability that the opponent made targeted arrangements in advance exceeded 99%!”

Liu’s squinted eyes opened.

In the first row of the rest area, Duke Watanabe is standing up.

One of the players who represented the team in the first doubles was the strongest giant in the army.

The moment after Watanabe stood up with a pat.

The center position of the second row.

“The two players made such an arrangement for the seniors in this game. The Uruguay team, did they never investigate this uncle’s information at all, or did they even have investigated this uncle’s information? But still choose to focus on senior Watanabe?”

“It’s really uncomfortable!”

“Although my uncle did not suffer from the cold last night, he woke up twice. This is the only doubles game my uncle has played in this period of time. It is also the first game played in South America. Uncle is actually regarded as a supporting role that can be ignored?”

Atobe said.

Most of the time, his face appeared to be both haughty and graceful with obvious dissatisfaction.

“But it’s good.”

“Since the opponent can be sent to target Watanabe-senpai, his strength should not be weak. Moreover, he was full of confidence before the game, but desperate after the game. This transition is also very interesting.”

His eyes are very celebrity in his appearance. At this moment, he is smiling and waving to the audience outside the field. After the Tatum brothers, who responded to the support of the audience, glanced at it, Atobe reached out and picked up the net racquet on his right side, and then slowly Stood up.

soon.

Watanabe and Atobe.

The two of them left the rest area and walked to the court.

One minute later.

“The first game, doubles: U*Ruguay U17 representative team Tatum combination VS Japan U17 representative team Duke Watanabe, Atobe Keigo.

“Game start!”

“Three sets of winners, Uruguay representative team first serve!”

The referee’s voice rang.

The stand area where Shimura and others are located.

“Atobe played as a doubles player, this is the first time I have seen this situation.”

“However, that guy Atobe, he is a very independent player. I don’t know if he can cooperate with Senior Watanabe.”

Oshitari Yuushi.

Hyotei’s first talented player looked at the court with interest.

at the same time.

“Atobe, with a comprehensive play style and a comprehensive technique, is a full-court attacker, and he is very good at using excellent insight to target the opponent’s weakness.”

“Duke, although his little skills are very good, he has considerable strength even in front of the net. It is not as easy to be targeted as it seems. His strength is undoubtedly at the top level. But as a backcourt player, although the strength is indeed strong , But the distance between the attack and the opponent is too long, and the opponent will have ample space for dodge and preparation in the game

This weakness does exist.

“The combination of these two people”

Shimura thought.

His eyes fell on the court.

Byodoin, Oni, Tanegashima, Duke, Fuji, Teka, Atobe, Akutsu, Yukimura, Irie who has long hidden his strength in the mist. Coupled with Shimura himself, there are now a large number of top-level players in JapanU17 who can serve as singles. No matter what team is against, they will not be at a disadvantage in terms of singles lineup.

The top combat power in singles has even been rich enough to the point of surplus.

But doubles is obviously weaker.

Although it is not necessarily impossible to play doubles, Shimura, Oni, Byodoin, Tejia, Fuji, and Akutsu are undoubtedly very pure singles players. Tanegashima and Watanabe, although they played as doubles players in this year’s expedition, they also served as singles many times.

The training camp is now a stable, complementary and tacit and excellent combination of doubles.

Oishi, Kikumaru, Mutsu brothers, Tohno, Kimishima.

There is a clear gap between their singles strength and top-level masters.

Tachibana and Chitose.

Although their singles ability is very strong, but there is also a certain gap from the top level.

Although doubles pay attention to tacit understanding and complementarity, the strong singles does not mean that they have an absolute advantage in doubles, but the strong singles of the players do have a great advantage in nature.

Inside the training camp, there are top players in the real sense. The players complement each other’s play styles and cooperate with each other. There is only one combination that has the momentum to maintain. Sanada combination.

Compared with the total number of top masters, there are obviously too few doubles combinations with top masters participating and complementing each other.

The combat power of doubles is also obviously low.

In this expedition led by Shimura, in addition to the task of allowing players who have never participated in the expedition, such as Oishi, Kan, Shiraishi, Yamato, and Tokugawa, to gain experience in overseas competitions, there are also three ideas of experimental head coach Mifūne Nyudō. The task of combining doubles.

Atobe and Duke Watanabe.

This is exactly one of the doubles combinations in the three Mifūne Nyudō three concepts.

Shimura was thinking.

Accompanied by the enthusiastic cheering from more than 3,000 Uruguayan people.

There was a bang.

The sound of racquet hitting the tennis ball rang.

Tatum brothers.

They typed serve.

Shimura’s attention immediately broke away from his thinking and concentrated on the inside of the court.

Over the court.

The tennis ball is moving against the air.

After nearly a second.

Bang bang.

The friction of the brush.

Both sounded at the same time.

The tennis ball lands in front of the service line and bounces at a very low height after rubbing against the ground.

Lean forward.

Footsteps move.

The huge Watanabe racquet stretched out straight, and then pulled the tennis ball back up.

Rest area for the home team.

“Well, it seems to be effective. Although Watanabe is a forehand dribble, the speed and power of tennis don’t seem to be very strong!”

“Brothers Tatum, they are all very strong in possession of the ball, enough to hit a low-bounce ball most of the time, blocking the power of Duke Watanabe. In addition, they are all very flexible. Even if you make occasional mistakes, you can avoid being beaten by Duke Watanabe to chase the ball!”

“Duke’s partner is just a junior high school student. The strength of the strongest junior high school students in our country is barely close to the level of elite high school students. Although Shimurasuke is a monster-level junior high school student master, it is absolutely impossible for them to have junior high school students. So strong.

“This game, we are sure to win!”

Many players’ eyes shone with light.

Inside the court.

Continuous banging sound.

The Tatum brothers with golden hair, one of them swung a bat to meet the tennis ball after the bounce.

Wrists twisted.

Pull the arm.

After a short stalemate.

The tennis ball, which spins very close to that of the serve, is out of the racquet racket.

The other side of the court.

“Ding! Ding! Ding!”

Atobe’s eyes condensed.

A kingdom composed entirely of ice was flashing deep in his eyes.

In the central area of ​​the Kingdom of Ice, huge sharp icicles stood tall, and several of them completely penetrated two illusory figures.

After an instant.

“These two people have so many flaws that my uncle is too lazy to count them.”

“What a disappointment!”

“First, the hotel room was turned off in the early hours of the morning, and then we got our roster to play, and made so many arrangements outside the plate. This uncle thought that there was some strength, at least the probability of defeating Senior Watanabe, no I thought that the opponent had only this level!”

Atobe’s condensed eyes widened.

Although there is still an ice world in the eyes of Atobe, there is no expectation and excitement for the game in Atobe’s eyes.

“Tatatata!”

After moving a distance of nearly two meters to the side and forward.

Racquet stretched out.

Atobe’s arm waved sharply.

Loud bang.

A loud impact was born suddenly in the field.

A dazzling light was born at the position where the racquet face of Atobe was in contact with the tennis ball.

The other side of the net.

“Such a ball?!”

“If you can’t take it, you must avoid it!”

Brother Tatum, both his complexions changed drastically at the same time, and deep fear appeared in his eyes.

After an instant, the Tatum brothers completely lost their idol temperament, the fear on both his faces soared, and even his face was distorted.

The Tatum brothers all wanted to escape.

I want to avoid the tennis ball that hits like a beam of light.

But as if completely frozen, the two of them couldn’t move at all.

After a blink of an eye.

Eighteen Uruguay players in the rest area.

More than 3,000 Uruguayan spectators in the stands.

They are all dumbfounded.

Many of them had the same deep horror in the eyes of U*Ruguay Tatum.

Over the court.

The tennis ball played by Atobe ran across the court and hit one of the Tatum brothers who was standing near the service line. A figure with golden curly hair was instantly knocked off, and then it hit another with golden yellow. People with short hair.

One and a half minutes later.

The interior of the stadium, completely plunged into silence.

One side of the court sideline.

“The first game, doubles: U*Ruguay U17 representative team Tatum combination VS Japan U17 representative team Duke Watanabe, Atobe Keigo.

“competition is over!”

“The representative of Uruguay abstained!”

The referee announced loudly.

Until the referee’s voice dissipated.

“Just lost?”

“The powerful Tatum, they only served one ball and received one ball and then they were killed by the opponent in seconds?”

“How could the game be like this?”

The sound gradually appeared in the stands.

But those voices were basically filled with shock and disbelief.

The rest area where the home team is located.

“That ball should be the stunt of Japan U17’s Byodoin. How could that junior high school student hit such a ball? In addition to the monster Shimurasuke, there are other monsters in the Japanese junior high school tennis world?”

“There are famous light hits in the entire world of tennis. Even the boss can’t catch such a ball, right?”

“Light hitting is indeed terrifying, but don’t you think it’s weird? The Tatum brothers’ reaction speed and flexibility are very strong, why didn’t the two of them just avoid it!”

Most of the Uruguayan players’ eyes were also filled with shock and disbelief.

Until nearly a minute later.

“Don’t panic, it’s okay. If you lose this game, you will lose. There are four more games next!”

“Yes, don’t panic. The Japan team attended this game with the former French team sabotage king Duke Watanabe, and there are also monster-level junior high school students who were beyond our expectation. We admit that we lost in this game, but there will be more In four games, we still have the possibility of winning!”

“Yes, we still have a chance to win!”

The members of the Uruguay team calmed down.

“In the next doubles, the Japanese representative team played Oni Jujiro and Tokugawa Kazuya. Although one of them participated in the U17 Cup last year, he has not played in the last year. He should have just regained the expedition. Qualification. The other player has no record of playing with the Japan expedition team at all.”

“We also have a good chance to win the singles. Their third single is a player named Seiichi Yukimura, and the second single is Genichiro Sanada. Both of them are junior high school students. Japan already has two monsters. Those two junior high school students are absolutely not. It may still be a monster!”

“As long as we win the next doubles and the second and third singles, we can win. Moreover, we are not entirely without the possibility of winning in singles. The opponent’s first single is Tanegashima Shuji. Although Tanegashima Shuji is very strong, According to the information, he hates flying and gets airsick. He came here by plane yesterday, and he must have not rested well last night.”

Subsequently, the Uruguay players gradually regained their confidence.

time flies.The game soon started again.

Thirty minutes later.

“Is this pair of doubles so strong?”

“There was no suspense to lose. The two players named Tokugawa Kazuya completely suppressed our two players and won the game directly. Tokugawa Kazuya, he is terrible, he is terrifying, the serve is terrifying, the attack is terrifying, and defensive. It’s also very scary, even the boss can’t beat such a player!”

“Tokugawa of the Japan team is indeed a monster, but we have not completely lost the chance to win. As long as the boss wins the junior high school student of Seiichi Yukimura in the third singles, then we will win another two games. We can win!”

Although they refused to admit defeat, the confidence of the Uruguay team members actually disappeared by nearly half.

Forty minutes later.

“It’s over, we haven’t been able to participate in the U17 Cup again this year!”

“The boss’s five senses were stripped, and he was still talking nonsense. It took less than five minutes to peel off all the boss’s five senses, and it took less than eight minutes to make the boss speak nonsense like crazy. Garbage, the one named Seiichi Yukimura is terrible!”

“The boss is going to lose too, monsters, no matter it is a junior high school student or a high school student, these players of the Japan team are all monsters. It would be good to know that Japan is so strong. 033 This time we used an off-board move to give Japan to the team. Offended, they will certainly not show mercy to us next year.

The confidence of the Uruguay team members to win was completely lost.

In the stands.

“Completely crushed, we have no chance of winning a game!,

“In the first game, our players lost their ability to compete within ten seconds. In the second game, the opponent defeated us with only one person, and it only took less than half an hour. Third. In the game, we sent the main player Tepra, but we were still crushed. Is the gap between us and the world’s top teams so big?”

“No, the opponent is too abnormal. I have watched the game between us and Switzerland. Although we lost, we did not lose so thoroughly. At least the game lasted for nearly an hour and a half before it ended!”

“No.1 Tepra will also lose, we completely lose!

All viewers no longer think they have the possibility of winning.

Ten seconds later.

Unbearable appeared in the eyes of many viewers.

The center of the backcourt.

With a bang.

The sound of the ground being hit rang.

A strong, mixed-race man with a height of over 1.9 meters and a ditch head, the strongest singles player of the Uruguay team, and the holder of the no.1 badge, Tepra, fell.

“Singles: Uruguay U17 representative team Tepra VS Japan U17 representative team Seiichi Yukimura.”

“competition is over!

“The Uruguay team abstained!”

The referee’s voice soon reached the ears of everyone outside the court.

The front of the side stand.

A resting area for the away team players.

“Great, Yukimura also crushed Uruguay’s opponent!”

“I have been crushed for three consecutive games. It deserves it. This is how Oishi and I caught a cold!”

Kikumaru smiled and looked at the court.

The first row of the seating area.

“After completely peeling off the opponent’s five senses, I still use the dream.”

“Yukimura, his mood doesn’t seem to be as happy as it shows on his face.”

Shimura smiled and shook his head.

The temperature in Montevideo was only eleven degrees last night, which was obviously much colder than the suburbs of East Beijing where the training camp is located. I suffered two consecutive power outages of the air conditioner in one night, and all power outages after falling into a deep sleep, Yukimura must have been very cold even though he did not catch a cold.

After about three seconds.

Shimura looked away from Yukimura and turned to other players such as Oishi and Kikumaru in the rest area.

Play against Pakistan*Ra*Guy team.

The first doubles: Oishi, Kikumaru.

The second doubles: Gan, Liu.

Third singles: Shiraishi.

Three games today.

The first doubles: Atobe, Duke.

The second doubles: Ghost, Tokugawa.

Third singles: Yukimura.

After the Eight Nations Tournament, the world’s top ranked team, no.1 Germany* Country, no.2 Switzerland*Switzerland, no.3 France* Country, no.4 Spain*ya, no.5 US, no.6 Japan , The four teams that belong to the big4 group and the two teams with the closest points to the big4 group, there is actually no room for change in the points ranking between them.

There are only two main purposes for this expedition.

One of them is to let players who have not participated in the expedition experience the atmosphere of competition with other national teams.

The second is to conduct a basic practical test on the head coach III Mifūne Nyudō III who believes that the play style fits, and that Atobe, Watanabe, Oni, and Tokugawa, who have the potential to form the top doubles, are tested to observe the true possibility of forming the doubles.

These two purposes.

The first one has been reached.

Because at the beginning of the game, the opponent was beaten by the chase ball and the ghost basically never shot in the doubles.

The second purpose: few books have not been achieved.

Of course, in addition to these two purposes, there is a third small purpose, and that is to see if Tanegashima, who has missed most of the expeditions for more than a year because of the dislike of riding a wind turbine, still exists more serious. Airsick.

If it still exists, then Tanegashima will have to go to the U17 Cup venue in advance before the team departs.

If the airsickness no longer exists, Tanegashima will start with the team.

As for this expedition, he encountered opponents who used outside moves.

That can only be regarded as a trivial matter.

The First Army has encountered similar things many times during its expeditions in recent years.

He glanced over everyone in the rest area including Tanegashima.

“It doesn’t matter whether the goal is achieved or not.

“Atobe, Watanabe, Oni, Tokugawa, they are all independent players, even the three boat coaches can’t let them cooperate in the game.”

Shimura secretly said in his heart.

“The expedition is completely over.”

“Next is the U17 Cup!”

Shimura stood up at the same time.

There will be no more expeditions this year.

In about a week or so, the list of players who can participate in the U17 Cup will be determined.

After half a month.

The U17 Cup will begin.
