My Animation Era

  Chapter 673 Messing around? Clumsy! (seeking subscription)

Before the start of the    City Competition, Wanbao Video specially opened up a brand new section on its website to broadcast and rebroadcast the "Wanbao Cup" tennis series.

   At the same time, Jiangchuan TV Station also broadcast live or recorded the game during non-prime time.

   But unfortunately...

  Although there were live broadcasts of the previous rounds, the number of viewers was not large. Most of the viewers were looking for fresh pictures and would not watch them for too long.

   This is also normal.

  After all, no one can understand or be interested in serious professional tennis matches, let alone middle school student tennis matches with a lower level.

   But that was an off-beat game.

  Thanks to the increase in popularity of the animation "The Prince of Tennis", many schools that were originally not well-known have also been known to thousands of netizens after the animation was broadcast.

   Because of this, they have become "Internet celebrity" schools through the popularity of animation and have attracted much attention.

  Ordinary schools, everyone may not be interested. But if it was a well-known school like Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School and Lele Middle School, many people would still watch the game.

   When it comes to the city finals, the opponents are "star" schools like Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School and Jiangchuan No. 2 Middle School. The competition must be full of enthusiasm.

  Take webcast as an example.

  In the live broadcast room opened by the Wanbao Video website, more than 157,000 viewers are watching the live broadcast of the final, and the number is still increasing.

  Wanbao official, in order to better hype this "Jiangchuan Derby" battle, two days in advance to publicize on various forums and social platforms, encouraging everyone to guess the final winner.

   One thing is unexpected.

   Although Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School is a super dark horse, even though Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School is the school where the protagonist of the animation "The Prince of Tennis" is located, even though Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School has talented players like Shen Chao...

  But the vast majority of netizens, including pure passers-by, think that the winner of this Jiangchuan Derby will be Jiangchuan No. 2 Middle School, which is stronger overall.

"why?"

  A foreign netizen didn’t know much about the situation of these two schools. Seeing that the guessing page was almost one-sided, guessing the second would win, so they asked full of doubts.

  Jiangchuan netizens quickly explained.

  They said that although Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School defeated Yulin Middle School this time and entered the final of the city competition, the runner-up has already reached the top.

   Winning the championship is very difficult!

   It is undeniable that Shen Chao, the current deputy head of the Tennis Department of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School, is a BUG-level player whose strength exceeds the average by a large margin, but no matter how strong he is, he can only win one game.

   Doubles are an absolute disadvantage.

  In the previous competition, Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School exposed this problem. Compared with the doubles of other schools, Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School is indeed almost meaningless.

  They are very fierce in singles, anyone has to admit that...

  But if you can’t do doubles, you just can’t. After all, your skills can be improved out of thin air, but the tacit understanding and cooperation must rely on years of training, and there is no shortcut.

  Why is Jiangchuan No. 2 Middle School strong?

  On the one hand, their doubles No. 1 turned out to be an extremely rare twin brother. The twins have a tacit understanding, so it goes without saying.

   On the other hand, Doubles No. 2 is also a third-year team that has cooperated for at least two years and participated in more than 100 games.

  Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School might not be able to win any of these two doubles matches, which is directly equivalent to abstaining.

   "Be optimistic!"

  "Doubles are not good, isn't there still singles? As long as all three singles are won, the game will still be won by one."

   Ma Kui, who accompanied Mr. Gu to watch the game and was in charge of presenting the runner-up, comforted him.

  Hearing this, Gu Miao shook her head.

   What Ma Kui said is indeed the truth, even if they lose all doubles, as long as they win all singles, Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School will still have a chance of winning.

   But the problem is...

  In the singles list of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School, only Shen Chao can secure a point. As for the remaining Feng Ge and Shi Chenglin, none of them can be considered a sure win.

   This game is difficult!

  …

  The court hosting this "Jiangchuan Derby" is the No. 1 tennis court of Jiangchuan Municipal Gymnasium.

  The time came to ten o'clock sharp.

   There is no so-called leadership speech, and no so-called pre-match performance. When the referee is in place, the game officially begins.

   The first game is a doubles one.

  Jiangchuan No. 2 Middle School sent their proud pair of twin brothers to easily win the first game.

   Next is doubles two.

   Gu Miao, who was still drowsy at first, thought that this match would probably be a loss, but when she saw Feng Ge walking into the field wearing the blue and white Glory uniform of No. 1 Middle School, she immediately became refreshed.

"Wait a minute!"

   "This person... I remember that he is the head of the tennis department of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School. His name is Feng Ge?" Gu Miao asked.

   "Yes! It's him!"

  Ma Kui took out the list of players in his hand, glanced at it and said, "He's a minister, and he's also a singles player from No. 1 Middle School. Why did he go to play doubles?"

"How would I know?"

  Temporary change of formation, let the original singles players play doubles, is this the special arrangement Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School made for No. 2 Middle School?

   What a nonsense!

  Doubles require tacit understanding and cooperation. Let a player who is used to singles play doubles, isn't that pure nonsense?

   There is also such a plot in the animation?

no kidding!

  The animation is for the needs of the plot, so they often arrange troops like this, but in real games, how can singles and doubles be rotated so easily.

   "Who is the coach of No. 1 Middle School? How dare he arrange it like this? It's better to abstain and give the champion to No. 2 Middle School!"

   "Coach? No!"

   Ma Kui said with a smile: "As far as I know, there is no coach in the Tennis Department of No. 1 Middle School, and the training plan is formulated by their deputy director, Shen Chao."

  Student Shen Chao? !

   Gu Miao, who was already quite angry, frowned instantly when she learned that Shen Chao was actually the acting coach of No. 1 Middle School.

   "What happened?"

   "Shen Chao is a kid in the first grade of junior high school. What kind of training does he know? Does he know how to form troops? He..."

   Before he could finish his words, he saw a sudden change in the situation on the field.

   Not favored by Gu Miao, they thought it was a nonsense combination, but they suddenly showed great power, overwhelming the golden doubles combination of the No. 2 Middle School, and even had a small lead in the score.

  Gu Miao: "..."

seriously?

  Who is Feng Ge's partner? How do they have such a high degree of tacit understanding? Playing so well? Doesn't look like a makeshift doubles combination at all?

   Could it be a secret weapon?

   Gu Miao felt that there must be something strange in it. Until the end of the match, the No. 1 middle school defeated the No. 2 middle school with a score of 6:4, and won the second doubles victory. He still couldn't believe it.

Ok!

   An even more unbelievable thing was yet to come. When Shi Chenglin, who played three in singles, played the so-called "two swordsmanship" on the court and beat his opponent to shame, Gu Miao was also stunned.

   This guy turned out to be left-handed?

  He's left-handed! As a result, the previous game has been returning the ball with the right hand. Is this the most classic hidden clumsiness in the animation "The Prince of Tennis"?

broken!

  Everyone seems to have underestimated the strength of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School. Judging from this, they are fully qualified to compete for the East China Championship, and even the final national championship...
