The Strongest Player in Sports

Chapter 167 : Echizen Ryoga (4/7)

Tokyo Stadium.

This is the largest gymnasium in Tokyo. From the outside, it looks like a huge spaceship.

The originally multifunctional stadium is now a tennis arena.

A network of courts are set up in every corner.

Zongshen sat in the audience, watching the match intently.

If you look closely, you can find that the depths of Zongshen’s eyes are filled with shock.

After the barbecue party, Seigaku returned to his old training.

However, he heard that the Tokyo Stadium was going to hold the World Tennis Tournament, so he bought a ticket to watch it without saying a word.

It was the first time he watched the world professional competition.

After reading it, Zongshen knew how terrible the professional level was.

It’s completely like fantasy tennis.

Every professional player is squeezed in the light shot, and the dark shot shines in the audience.

In addition to all kinds of terrible stunts, Zongshen was hooked.

“This is a professional battle in the world!”

Zongshen took a deep breath.

To become a professional player is easy, just find a club to join.

But it is extremely difficult to become a world professional player.

In the original book of Prince of Tennis, Polk and Amadeus are world-class professional players.

However, in the ATP tennis world rankings, the two could not be ranked in the top 267 hundred.

There are three types of competition in the world.

They are ATP, WTA and ITF.

These three competitions respectively correspond to the world men’s professional match, the world women’s professional match and the youth match.

The U–17 World Cup is a type of ITF Competition.

It is also the lowest level of competition in professional tennis.

Therefore, Zongshen guessed that with the strength of Polk in de country, he should be able to rank in the ATP-hundred 30th place.

This ranking seems to be low, but in fact it is very good.

The golden age of a tennis player is 19 years old, and the retirement age is around 33 years old.

In other words, the ATP ranking is for the age of 19 to 33.

A total of 15 years!

How many masters can be born in tennis in 15 years?

No one ever counted!

But from the original book of Prince of Tennis, we can see how many masters will be born every year.

In the third year of high school, there are strong players such as Byōdōin Hōō, Polk, Camus, Amadeus and so on.

After 15 years of accumulation, how many masters will there be in tennis?

And this is still U-17.

One (cffb) some did not join U-17 but chose to join professional clubs, and some geniuses in the wild.

These people all add up and accumulate for 15 consecutive years.

How many masters will there be in those 15 years?

ATP is a ranking made by combining all the masters of the past 15 years.

So Polk is ranked about 130 in the ATP, not Zongshen belittle him.

Although Polk is a genius, he is too young after all.

Even the golden period has not been reached.

It is already Zongshen’s high praise for him to rank 130 or so.

“There are too many masters in the world!”

Zongshen took a deep breath, and there was a sense of war in his heart.

It is because of this that he aspires to become stronger, hoping that one day he can compete with these masters.

After watching the match, Zongshen got up and prepared to leave.

But just when I got up, I saw a teenager walking by my side.

The teenager has broken dark green hair and a casual smile on his face.

He did not follow the flow of people to walk outside.

Instead, he stopped and turned his head slightly.

“You are Zongshen, right?”

The boy looked at Zongshen and opened his mouth and said Zongshen’s name.

“Um?”

Zongshen was taken aback. He didn’t expect this dark-green-haired boy to know himself.

“Ryoga!”

The boy held his thumb to point at himself, and the smile on his face was even greater: “My name is Echizen Ryoga, I have seen you at the Kanto Contest!”

After Echizen Ryoga finished speaking, the expression on his face was a bit playful.

He came to Japan not long ago, and after seeing his old man, he took a look at the Kanto Contest by the way.

At the Kanto Contest, he happened to see the match between Zongshen and Tanegashima.

He was surprised after watching the match.

Unexpectedly, there are experts like Zongshen in Japan.

But he did not show up.

Because he has been to many countries and has seen players from various countries.

There are not a few people with terrible strength at age like Zongshen.

At least he has seen a few who are not weaker than Zongshen.

“Echizen Ryoga?!”

Zongshen took a deep look at the other person when he heard the name.

A teenager with dark green hair and a casual smile on his face.

Slowly, the boy in front of him and the Echizen Ryoga in Zongshen’s memory slowly merged.

In my mind, I think of the other party’s information even more.

Echizen Ryoga!

The brother of Echizen Ryoma, the protagonist of the Prince of Tennis world.

Although they are not biological, they are related by blood.

He grew up learning tennis at Echizen Nanjiro’s house. He has amazing talent and is known as the little samurai.

“I didn’t expect Echizen Ryoga to be in Japan?”

Zongshen was a little curious.

In the original work, Echizen Ryoga did not appear until U-17.

“Would you like to compete!”

Echizen Ryoga cracked his mouth and smiled, his face slightly lightly: “I have seen your match at the Kanto Contest, and I am very interested in your strength!”

“It’s incredible to have a peer like you in a country like Japan!’

Shaking his hair, Echizen Ryoga seemed to sigh.

A country where tennis is underdeveloped in the middle of the world, but there are players who can match those developed countries in tennis, which really surprised him.

“Match?!”

Zongshen showed strong interest in this eyes.

By now he has completely believed that the boy in front of him is the original Echizen Ryoga.

In the original book, Echizen Ryoga’s strength is self-evident.

Easily defeated the No.4 Wugu, and easily received a light shot from Byodoin.

All these show the power of Echizen Ryoga.

Now Echizen Ryoga should be in the second grade of junior high school just like himself.

So Zongshen is very curious about the strength of Echizen Ryoga.

“Let’s have a game, my hands are itchy!

I think of the past few days when I returned to Japan.

Except for a match with the old man, he hasn’t competed with anyone at all.

Thinking of Echizen Ryoga, I can’t help it.

“Can’t ask for it!

A smile was drawn at the corner of Zongshen’s mouth.

He is not afraid of any challenge, even if this person is Echizen Ryoga, known as the little samurai.

And through match, defeating this kind of opponent, isn’t it fun?.
