[Tennis] Mountains and Flowing Water

The quasi-chosen school training camp during the holidays, Kirihara went to do morning exercises as usual, and quarreled with Marui carelessly.

Hirakawa has already passed the application for joining the club, but he didn't come to training for two or three days, maybe the first day was too much of a blow.This doesn't violate the rules.

The quasi-selection is a mandatory training during the holidays, but ordinary members have a rest time, and they may or may not come.It's just that almost no one wants to see themselves being left behind by the army.

Opportunities are only reserved for those who are ready.If someone in the quasi-candidate slacks off, that is an opportunity to fight for.

The quasi-election meeting on Golden Day.

"It is said that there will be major changes in this year's national competition." Liu's intelligence collection has always been rapid.

Xu You opened the account and explained: "It should be related to the U17 World Cup in April next year. The national training unit wants to collect the latest information on the U15 junior high school players in advance."

"Really? Then it is said that the semi-finals and finals require five games, which makes sense."

"This time the U17 winter training, I think Lihai is qualified to be recruited in the main election." Yukimura wrote two lines, clutching the corner of the page, "Well...I had contact with Fujiwara-san before , He said that Takeda-san joined, but Matsumoto-san did not. Oh yes, Fujiwara-san and Fukuyama-san received invitations to the U17 national team’s summer training camp a month ago. They accepted this time, and Matsumoto-san also accepted So, if we participate in the training camp, we can make peace with Fujiwara-san, Fukuyama-san, Mori-san, Takeda-san, and Matsumoto-san."

"What about the seniors in high school?"

"They have no plans to join career.com. This year's performance assessment is very important to them, so they all rejected it."

Yukimura looked around at everyone: "If you feel pressured by studies, you don't have to go. Anyway, this training camp is not mandatory."

"I don't mind." Marui blew out the bubble gum, "...It's nice to be able to compete with different people."

"Puri." Nioh tossed his pigtails and aimed in the direction of Yukimura.

"Where is You Jun? Participating in this team competition, the domestic points awarded are very considerable."

"...the overall schedule does not conflict with the All-Day Youth and the qualifiers."

"The number of recruits is unknown at the moment, as long as everyone has an idea." Yukimura put down his pen and gestured to Liu.

"The next thing is the arrangement for the national competition in a week." Liu paused, "The draw will be held the day after tomorrow, in Tokyo. The deadline for the eight candidates to declare is next week, and it is expected that the schedule will be announced and the order book will be distributed on next week. .Next week on Water Day, the national competition will open."

"Sanada draws lots and brings Akaya and Sangbu."

"Minister..." Kirihara hesitated to speak.Yukimura glanced at him, and continued: "Tomorrow and the next two days, the quasi-selection trial will be held, and the first two days of next week will be the main selection qualifying round to determine the list of the main candidates."

"Yukimura, are you going?"

"Participate." Yukimura glanced at the excited people and tapped his pen on the table, "Also, this year's national competition will be held at Tokyo Yuming Tennis Park and will last for five days. Liu, the accommodation reservation for the quasi-selection is entrusted to you .”

"learn."

"Assist Yamamoto."

"Yes! Minister Yukimura."

"The support team, Sanada."

"give it to me."

After the meeting adjourned, Lihai Sitingzhu left a list of candidates for consideration.

"We are short on time, so we arranged six venues and six groups, with nine players in each group qualifying for two. Yukimura?"

"can."

"Let Yamamoto go?"

"No, Yamamoto is still suitable for doubles." Yukimura shook his head lightly, "Xia Chuan has improved a lot, and there is a new Hirakawa-kun..."

"Should we put Chi Ye and Ping Chuan in a group?" Xu You suggested, "This is a hurdle that Chi Ye must go through, and we must break the boat."

Yukimura pondered for a few moments and frowned: "My expectation is that there is no rush..." He had other plans.

"It can't be delayed for too long." Xu You persuaded gently, "Chi Ye's strength is already stronger than that of Mr. Hirakawa." If it is delayed for a long time, the psychological shadow will be even greater.

"Okay!" Yukimura rewrote on the handbook, "I, Chiya, and Hirakawa-kun are in Group A, and... Natsukawa and Yamamoto are in Group C, and Yanagi is in Group C. Sanada, your group is Take Uesugi and Fukuda with you appropriately."

"what."

"Youjun, Xiangwu is in your group."

"clear."

"In this way... there are twelve candidates to be selected, and four people in the first and second grades can participate or watch the game, which is enough."

After the announcement of the selection contest on Saturday, Hirakawa's eyes flickered and he secretly glanced at Kirihara.Kirihara pouted, looking really difficult.

In terms of time, the game adopts a defeat elimination system. If you lose twice, you will be eliminated directly.

It is also a technical job to arrange the competition grouping in the department.

From early to late on this day, everyone has played at least two games, so many members were eliminated.

The first game on Sunday is the highlight of Group A - Kirihara VS Hirakawa.

Yukimura sat up on the chair to be the referee with a natural expression: "Have you warmed up yet? A set will determine the outcome."

"Flip a coin to decide first. Kirihara heads, Hirakawa tails."

"On the other hand, Hirakawa goes first."

Marui whispered on the sidelines: "Yukimura is so formal."

"He's the minister." Nioh leaned closer and whispered to Marui, "Yukimura definitely favors Akaya emotionally, but he can't show that he favors Akaya." Even the address has to be paid attention to.

In a sense, Hirakawa was too high-profile.As an airborne student, he was already at a disadvantage in favor, but when he came, he even picked on Kirihara and Yukimura.

One is the next minister who was originally determined, and the other is the current minister who believes in faith.

Hirakawa is not wrong, Hirakawa is quite innocent.But it is human nature to be far and near, and no one can avoid it.In particular, there is still such a strong "comrade-in-arms" relationship in Lihai.

However, as a minister, Yukimura cannot take the lead in expressing exclusion, especially in tennis.

Hirakawa's serve was quite satisfactory, and Kirihara had already prepared for it.When he finished his work that day, he went to Uesugi and asked for the video of his duel with Heichuan, and replayed it at night, and even stayed up late.Almost every shot he was asking himself: How could it be played like this?

"It seems that Chiya has roughly figured out Hirakawa's style." Xu You sighed, Kirihara finally understood the importance of information, "but Hirakawa now has contempt for Chiya." It just happened to be the same as a few days ago.

[So fast! ] Kirihara's forehand is full of strength, and sometimes the change in the rebound angle makes it difficult for Hirakawa to save the ball.

"The end of the game, Kirihara [1-0]."

"You are very different from a few days ago." Hirakawa was on the baseline ready to receive the hair.

Kirihara chewed a couple of times before hitting the ball.

The high-speed side spin was a response to Hirakawa, who lost control and went out of bounds.

"Wow."

"This ball is not bad." Xu You wrote down a few strokes.

"FifteenLove." Yukimura on the high seat remained calm.

After three rounds, the main players who hadn't witnessed the duel a few days ago had a rough idea of ​​Hirakawa's level.

"Full-court type, good foundation." Xu You made a concluding statement, "Strength and skill are strong, ball control is okay, special practice will be much better. Short-term response and strategy are good, but emotional stability is not good, singles. ..good at evenly matched situations and tailwind situations, but poor mentality in headwind situations.” So Kirihara should have won this match.

"Chi is also good at playing against the wind, but he is not afraid of going against the trend." After all, he has been suppressed for a whole year, and he is used to it.

"The end of the game, Hirakawa [2-5]."

[It was me who won. ] Kirihara suppressed his excitement and beat the ball rhythmically. [It was me who won! ]

[I'm a second-year Ace! ] Yes, you don’t need to think about the set a few days ago, and you don’t need to look at other people’s reactions.

He is old A in the second grade, and will be No.1 in the tennis club in the future!

The serve at a speed of 170 hours rushed to the T point. Hirakawa reached the ball with one hand and failed to catch it.

"Ace. FifteenLove." Yukimura didn't give any reminder to the two juniors except to report the score.

Ping Chuan has long put away his contempt, but now he seems to be unable to see through his opponent.On the contrary, Kirihara knew his style of play well.

[How to do? ]

He can't seem to find a way!

[Panic, the response is relatively poor. ] Xu You shook his head invisibly.

"The game is over, Kirihara [6-2] won." Yukimura left his seat to prepare for his next match.

Kirihara and Heichuan stared at each other in front of the net, and their wet palms touched each other.

"Let me introduce myself again." Kirihara raised his head and pouted, "Kirhara Chiya, the second-year old A of the tennis club, will one day defeat those three monsters and become Lihai's No. 1 person."

"Really..." Hirakawa silently looked at the silhouette of Yukimura in his jacket, turned his head and smiled, "Come on."

"Hey, look at mine."

If you lose, you lose.It is because he is not as skilled as others now.

Hirakawa felt somewhat alienated from his staff these days, he was an airborne player, and he even defeated Kirihara, who was said to be the next minister...

Ping Chuan thinks that he is very concerned about what people around him think of him, and these can easily affect his mood.The reason why he chooses and dares to come to Lihai Tennis Club, which is known as the king, is because "strength comes first".That is to say, the influence of favor and seniority will be less than that of ordinary clubs.In this way, he will probably be less excluded.

The same is true.

Kirihara didn't seem to take the lead in doing "bullying" things, he was very nervous.The seniors in the third grade were also fair to him, even a little cautious.

For an airborne member, this kind of treatment is already quite good.

He thought he would be able to adapt to everything in Lihai soon.

In the afternoon, Hirakawa did not lose unexpectedly to Yukimura, so he missed the quasi-final selection.The cocky Kirihara was immediately doused with cold water, and Yukimura mercilessly shaved it off.

"Ah - lost again." Kirihara squatted beside the bench, pitifully.He thought he could win a game from Yukimura after nearly a year.

Anyway, take a round, right?

"Don't squat," Yukimura touched Kirihara's back with the racket frame, "Go, jog around the field 10 times."

"Eh? Yes!"

After two days, the quasi-candidate list was confirmed: Yukimura, Kirihara; Sanada, Uesugi; Yanagi, Natsukawa; Xuyou, Sangwu; Nioh, Yagyu; Marui, Jack.

The last two groups can be called the three-year-old Shura field.The two teams are playing doubles, and there is also the Wannian second echelon team Shimadzu, Koizumi, and Igarashi in the third grade.

"Whose bad taste is this?" Marui snorted a few times after defeating Jack, "It can't be Shenmu, right? It's so keen on tearing apart partners."

"Isn't this very interesting?" Xu You explained in a good-tempered manner, "He is not only the most tacit teammate, but also the enemy who understands you best."

"Pfft, I'm not disgusted." Marui blew out the bubble gum, stuffed it back into his mouth and chewed.Or just because Jack is his closest partner, he will take it very seriously and go all out.Let the water go, show mercy or something, I feel very disrespectful to his partner.

Because it's a competition.

The author has something to say:

----------

Q: What do you think of Hirakawa?

Yu: Same as everyone.His foundation is good, but the return is a bit weak, the second serve is weak...

Xing: Pretty good, he made Chiya feel a little bit of urgency.Maybe it's because of the transfer?A little depressed, I asked Lian Er and Wen Tai to pay attention.
