[Comprehensive] The Light Chaser

"They actually guessed punches?!" Kikumaru opened his eyes wide.

His teammates are dry.

The reason is that Dashi thinks that this time is still a seven-ball matchup.

"After the last seven-ball matchup, the people who said they would quit the training camp did not leave, but went to a farther place for harsh training. But this time there is no guarantee that it will be the same. This is the U17 training camp!" Dashi said .

Kikumaru originally wanted to refute something resentfully, but in the end he was defeated by Oishi's sincere eyes.

He pursed his mouth and looked left and right, just as Toyama Kintaro was galloping over from the camp of Shitianbao Temple: "Echizen Yueqian Yueqian! Let's be in a team! Let's be in a team!"

The first-year freshman who had just returned was somewhat overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of his red-haired peers of the Beast type, so he half-pushed and responded on the spot.

Kikumaru looked around: "Fuer! Are we in a group?"

"Sorry, I want to be in the same team as Yuta." Fuji smiled embarrassedly, "Whether it's an opponent or a teammate, it's fine."

The brother-in-law couldn't be shaken, so Kikumaru could only look at the other teammates with pursed lips.Both Momoshiro and Kawamura were injured, so they should form a team from any point of view (but what if we really meet a strong opponent in doubles?), Tezuka directly chose Kaitang (this is to prepare for the handover of ministers Is it?), Dashi cannot be selected, the rest of the team can only do it!

I don't want to be with a data maniac!

"You Sitianbao Temple has also become odd?" Kikumaru blinked.

"Hey, lovely Kikumaru-kun, why don't you think about me?" Jin Xiaochun put his hands together and bent his legs slightly, making a shy expression.

Kikumaru: "..."

No, allow me to decline.

"Agan! How about our team!" Kikumaru jumped on Gan's body quickly.

Gan pushed the glasses: "I have no objection, no matter who I am with, I can enrich my data."

Kikumaru: "..."

He turned his head a little bored, just in time to see Li Haida's movements.

No, they're moving so much, how could they not detect it?

Kikumaru was not the only one watching.

The eight people from Li Haida surrounded the circle openly, and at first made gestures of "black and white match", but finally decided to guess punches.Their gestures were not small, and they directly attracted the attention of other people.

Then they chanted "rock, paper, scissors" and "hammer scissors" casually, and stretched out their hands under the disbelieving gazes of others.

"Stone!"

"scissors!"

"cloth!"

Standing in a circle, Li Hai Zhengxuan was silent for three seconds at the result of the boxing game.

Kuwahara and Yoo Debu are undoubtedly "partners".

Kirihara, Marui, Yukimura, and Yagyu are all scissors, and there will probably be another round.

And the rest...

"Fate." Yukimura smiled, "You were in a group last time, right?"

King Ren cleared his throat: "Did you get your wish?"

"Don't say it like I've been watching you all the time." Yukimura complained, "Am I wrong?"

Yes, of course you are.

But the last time they were in a group, wasn't it you who teased them?

Sanada didn't speak.After expressing such emotions with his eyes, he quickly avoided Yukimura's smiling gaze.

"Even if it's doubles, I won't let up!"

"You said the same thing last time." Marui said with a smile.

The four scissors guessed again. After back and forth, the result was that Kirihara and Marui were in a group, and Yukimura and Yagyu were in a group.

This made Yagyu's expression a little subtle: Whether it's a doubles partner or a singles opponent, facing Yukimura...

"Being so obvious, does Yagyu hate me?" Yukimura asked intentionally.

Liu Sheng pushed his glasses: Are you too lively today?

He sensed Yukimura's heightened emotions.

"No, I'm excited." He said this in a very flat tone, like a stick.

Yukimura laughed out loud.

The list of the two-person group was quickly counted in the hands of Coach Saito.He only gave everyone 10 minutes, and the rest of the people who were alone would connect directly on the paper, which was simple and rude.

Then the two coaches stood on the high platform without changing the venue: "It just so happens that court No. 56 [-] is vacant. There are four courts in total. Just start the game directly."

Four fields.

Why is this so similar to the group routine during the Kanto training camp?

Nioh slandered Coach Saito's "new ideas".

He listened to Coach Saito's deliberately cadenced rule introduction on the radio.

"The partner this time is indeed a doubles partner. We always have to have a serious doubles test, right? The same is seven balls, and the order of the battle is the same as the order that we came to register just now. Number one will play against number 25, and number two will play against each other. No. 24, and so on. As for No.13, it’s a bye. Luck is also part of strength, isn’t it?”

Coach Saito frowned: "Of course, even though it's a doubles match, we have to play some new ideas. Of course, the way we play can also be changed, but it's not suitable for short-term games like seven-ball matchups. It's not as good as our scoring method Make some innovations? For example, seven-ball games, doubles, but the scores are calculated on an individual basis.”

"……Eh?"

"What's the meaning?!"

While the middle school students were in an uproar, Coach Saito raised his hand and pressed down: "Quiet. Are you still listening to the explanation?"

The middle school student looked at him suspiciously.

"In short, it is a doubles match based on the tie-break rule, but individual points are scored separately. The final score will be counted on the person who hit the ball that made the opponent unable to return." Coach Saito said with a little interest in his tone. "Even if you played a lot of back and forth, but in the end it was your partner who scored the goal, then this point is counted on your partner. When one side scores seven points first, the game is over. At this time Decide whether to stay or not based on personal calculations."

He let the junior high school students digest these words.

"Is this... the meaning that you may win the game but you will lose personally?" Feng asked puzzled.

Coach Saito nodded: "That's right! Assuming that A and B are on the same team at this time, against C and D, they win with a score of 7-5. Of the 7 points scored by A and B, A scored 6 points, B only got 1 point, and among the 5 points of C and D, C got 3 points, and D got 2 points. Then, among these four people, B and D will be eliminated. I mean, is it clear enough? ?”

understand enough.

Also understood too much.

Is a doubles match with such rules still considered a doubles match?

"This is an encouragement to grab points." Marui sighed, "Cooperating actively may lead to the result that one's own efforts are completely made into a wedding dress for others..."

"They have a good relationship and they are also regular partners, so this kind of rule will not have much impact on them." Liu said, "But if the combination was originally formed based on 'this will be a singles match', then it is not right for them. The internal situation will be more severe than the external one.”

"But internal strife will only give others a chance." Liu Sheng said lightly.

"There's no need to think too complicated. No matter how the points are calculated, this is still a doubles match." Nioh twisted his pigtails, "If the game is 7-0, do we still need to consider this kind of issue?"

Yukimura laughed: "What a coincidence, I thought so too."

The game starts soon.

There are a total of 25 groups of partners. No.13 Sengoku and Akutsu are directly counted as "advanced". The remaining 24 groups need to play [-] games, and it takes three rounds to divide them into four venues.

"Where is Lucky~" Qianshi smiled and looked at Akutsu with a cold face beside him, "There are benefits to being in my group."

"Hmph." Akujin didn't turn his head, but stared at Kawamura standing on the field.

The numbers of the same school are mostly connected, so they are not very suitable as opponents.

The first round happened to be the "random combination" of Qingxue's four teams against Sitianbaoji's three teams plus Makino Fuji and San Icarus.

Kawamura and Taocheng, the two wounded men of Qingxue, faced off against Ishida and Chitose of Sitianbao Temple.Ishida, who is good at fluctuating balls, is not affected by the national competition, but Kawamura, who is good at fluctuating balls, is not yet fully recovered.The scratches on Taocheng's body were still bleeding.Such a game...

"Surrender?" Chitose said bluntly.

"Stop joking!" Taocheng yelled.

Over there, Oishi and Jin Xiaochun formed a team naturally—although no one knows how Qingxue and Sitianbaoji exchange players were decided.

They were facing Kadowaki of Makino Fuji and Richard of San Icarus.

Temporary partner, only one person received the invitation, which is an obvious question for giving points.

Oishi looked at Kikumaru worriedly.

He and Gan's opponents are Shiraishi and Kenya.

"Eiji..."

"Brother Egghead, pay attention to me too." Xiaochun said in a rippling tone.

Dashi coughed in embarrassment and came back to his senses.

As for Tezuka and Kaitang, they directly confronted the Fuji brothers.

"It's the first match in two years." Fuji's expression was subtle, "Although it's a doubles match, Tezuka..."

"Don't be careless on the ground!"

Nioh had felt how persistent Fuji was to Tsukasa during the Kanto competition.

He naturally became interested in this game, and couldn't help but took two steps.

But soon, he discovered that this game would not turn into the scene he imagined.

This is doubles, not singles.

Of course Tezuka and Fuji can both play doubles, but they are still far from being "doubles players".

And their partners are all people they care about and take responsibility for.

Why did Tezuka partner with Kaitang?Whether it is an opponent or a partner, he hopes to teach Kaitang some "things that the minister needs to understand".Before the start of the game, he had the intention of playing a coaching game, and he did not change his mind when he stood on the court.

But Er quickly noticed this.

There was a hint of sadness in his expression.It just flashed by, and soon put on a smile.

"Hey, Yuta." He said with a smile, "As an older brother, I also want to teach you something."

"What!" Yuta blushed with embarrassment.

Fuji looked at Tezuka across the field.

Guidance game?

If it's not serious, I don't mind just winning this game!

"Flying swallows return to their nests"!

The genius of Qingxue has become serious.

Niwang watched this scene.

He thought, what kind of mood did Fuji face Tezuka?

follow?

Then why carry so much sadness?

He probably couldn't understand this strange feeling.Because they were the ministers of Li Haida, they walked too fast.They had to keep chasing to keep up with him.

And when people rush forward with no distractions, they will not have any distracting thoughts.

"Then I'll guess... a draw." Nioh whispered, "In a game where individual points are counted, even if the relationship between these two people is complicated, they won't be able to feed the ball to their partner, right?"

"That's not necessarily true." Yukimura walked up to him at some point, "Wouldn't it be interesting if Tezuka and Fuji were 'eliminated' at the same time?"

Nioh didn't object.His eyes were still on the field, "Yukimura, what's your number?"

"Number Five," Yukimura said.

"It's a pity, I'm number six."

"What a pity?" Yukimura raised his eyebrows, "You don't want to play with me at all, do you?"

"Puri~" King Ni continued to face the front, but his tone was bland with a bit of teasing, "After all, if I accidentally beat you, would I become the head of the Tennis Club of Kaihai University? That would be terrible .”

"Beat me? Can you do it?"

"If you don't limit the conditions, it may not be impossible." King Ren stretched out his hand, opened it and then clenched it, "But..."

"but?"

"No, nothing." King Ni lowered his eyes, "I'm thinking about philosophical issues."

Yukimura shook his head helplessly.
