Lehigh High School Boys Tennis Club

Nioh's victory over Sanada caused an uproar in public opinion in the middle school tennis circle.

Sanada?

That Sanada?

King Nio?

That Nioh?

Regarding Li Haida's evaluation, most people are only high but not low.But at the same time, the reputation of the "Big Three" is too great, so most of the people in Lihai's team follow the rule that the Big Three are the top three, and the rest are ranked below.

When Nioh defeated Ryu in the individual match in the Kanto District, most people just thought that it was the result of Nioh's progress this year and Ryu Data Tennis' hard work against Nioh's style of play, and did not think that Nioh was really stronger than Ryu. .

But now it's Sanada!

Emperor Sanada!

It is difficult for most people who have watched this game to say exactly how Nioh won this game and how Sanada lost.

Judging from the scene, the offensives of the two people after directly taking the initiative in the first two games were too "indomitable", with a hint of relentlessness. It really looks like a situation where once a flaw is caught, the whole situation can be reversed. .

And the third game was even weirder.

For a while Nioh had the upper hand, for a while Sanada had the upper hand, and in the end Sanada was inexplicably at a disadvantage, making an unwise choice as if he was being controlled.

Is it mental power?

Everyone also guessed that it was spiritual power.

But in the end is how to do it?

Let Nioh fight again and Nioh will not be able to fight.

He did take advantage of Sanada's ignorance and contempt for him as well.

It was strange to say that, Sanada didn't understand him.

But Sanada really didn't understand him very well.It's not just that he doesn't understand his style of play, but also has a similar prejudiced misunderstanding of the Phantom's move.

Nioh discovered this during the World Cup last year.

When he and Atobe exchanged identities, Sanada didn't recognize him at all, and even expressed his confusion on the choice of him (actually Atobe) on the field at the time.In fact, Nio was standing next to him, and he could only smile helplessly at Sanada's puzzlement of "Why don't you phantom Tezuka".

That trick doesn't work that way.

He didn't bother to defend himself, and even felt that maintaining other people's misunderstanding of him was not a bad thing.What's more, he also felt that Sanada would not understand the essence of Phantom's trick even if he broke it apart and explained it to Sanada.It's like he doesn't understand the samurai code that Sanada follows.

So it dragged on, and it was time for this year's individual competition.

He originally thought that Liu might tell Sanada this - after all, Liu was also someone who had some prejudices against him and came to talk to him after the misunderstanding was cleared up. happened in time).

Unexpectedly, Liu kept silent.

Yukimura didn't say anything either.

"It's not that I didn't say it, it's my evaluation of you. Sanada has always disagreed." Yukimura said, "They all think that I have indulged you too much. It's really interesting."

Niwang: "...Minister, you really don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement."

It really became lively, this thing.

Sanada's face was not very good on the car back to Kanagawa, and he hesitated to speak several times.

But Niwang deliberately avoided his sight.

Nioh guessed what Sanada was going to say.

But he didn't think it was necessary.

When getting out of the car, he opened his mouth in advance, blocking what Sanada Tiki wanted to say.

"Deputy Minister, next time you secretly feed the wild cats, don't use the red bean bread from the canteen. It's not good for the cat's health." Niwang said, "Did you deduct points for yourself after feeding the cat?"

Sanada was blocked by Nioh's words in one breath.

He frowned, "you" got stuck for a while.

Nioh waved his hand: "Remember to deduct points for yourself. Right, Yagyu?"

Liu Sheng stood next to him and pushed his glasses: "King Ren, he is the chairman of the Discipline Committee, and I am the Disciplinary Committee."

"Don't tell me that you don't want to deduct points from the deputy minister." Niwang raised his hand in a gesture of wearing a hat.

Liu Sheng let go of his hand and nodded with a smile: "That's right."

Sanada glanced at Yagyu, then looked at Nioh with a frown.

The titles of the two "deputy ministers" let him know what Niwang meant.

He didn't quite agree, but when he wanted to think about the wording again, Yukimura didn't wait for him to organize his words, but told everyone to go home and rest if they had nothing to do.

"There will be a final next week, Nioh, you... prepare well?" he said.

King Ni let out a sigh of relief: "Senior Maori...it's hard."

"Try it like beating Genichiro. How can you say it's difficult before the game?" Yukimura said with a smile.

Nioh looked at Sanada, and nodded not very positively.

He dragged Liu Sheng away.

Of course Sanada understood Yukimura's meaning, and he was a little confused after Nioh left: "Why...?"

"Don't you understand what Nioh means? He doesn't want to be the deputy minister." Yukimura said, "Perhaps you can also feel his other attitude. He thinks that if you fight again, you won't necessarily lose."

"Of course I won't lose!" Sanada exclaimed loudly.

But he pursed his lips after speaking: "But this time I lost."

"... Forget it, you should go back and practice kendo to adjust your mood." Yukimura thought for a while, and found it difficult to explain Nioh's specific thoughts to Sanada.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Sanada: "Maybe you don't know yet, but Nioh has already determined that he will develop in the direction of a professional player in the future."

"..." Sanada pressed the brim of his hat again, and did not reply.

Of course, he has already got enough information from this sentence.

It is a good thing for Nioh to go to the finals after five days of classes instead of consecutive competitions.

The match with Fuji consumed most of his energy, and it was really a fluke in his own judgment to win against Sanada.It was Sanada who failed to make good use of his physical advantages, and Nioh also deliberately prevented Sanada from taking advantage of this advantage.

If he continues to fight Maori, then he has no chance of winning.

Fortunately, there is a break.

Of course, having more energy didn't make things any better for him.

What is the extent of Maori's strength? Nioh can't give a specific model like he defined Sanada.

He really doesn't know Maori very well.

When I was in junior high school, it was a relationship between junior and senior who only met a few times.

Mori was transferred from another school. At that time, he was working hard for the first position. He also won Yagyu to join the tennis club, and he was also practicing doubles with Yagyu.He has a lot of things to do, a senior who is strong but always skips training and is not usually seen is not on his list.Tricky list.

When we met again, Maori's whole personality was different from what he remembered.

As for the doubles match with Atobe, it was almost as if he and Atobe were fighting against Oshichi alone.

In that game, Maori only made a simple cooperation, and the water was very obvious.

After entering high school, I have more contact with Maori seniors, but some subtle changes have taken place in the character of Maori seniors.

One thing is obvious.

Knowing that moonlight is Maori's weakness.

But if Nioh really intends to take advantage of this weakness... Nioh himself knows that this is no different from deliberately phantom Tezuka to flirt, there is no essential difference.

The final of this individual competition did not seem to be too intense.

Lihai's civil war and the relationship between seniors and seniors made this match even a bit like a coaching match.

Although Mori is very clear, he and Nioh cannot make a guide match.

The difference in strength between him and Nioh is far from being able to be described as "guidance".

"The Kanto finals were also the two of us," he said.

"The king Lihai is big~!" Nioh jokingly called Lihai's cheerleading slogan.

Mao Li also laughed: "It's quite lively, not bad."

Nioh doesn't like playing games with Maori.

The most superficial reason is that when doing pre-match etiquette, the height difference is too obvious.

Of course, what is hidden behind this is that Maori naturally has a larger attack distance and defensive coverage distance than him, and he needs to use fewer steps when connecting the ball.

This does not mean that the speed is faster, because the movement speed of tall people is also naturally affected by the shape.

But at least it would give Maori more room to react.

And Maori's tennis is subtly different from the style of play he experienced in the Kanto finals a month ago.

"I've been doing special training with Moonlight-san, and this week, just two days ago, there has been some staged progress." Maori said leisurely, "It happens to be the final of the individual competition, so I have to perform well .”

Is this showing off the "partner"?

Niwang licked his lips, feeling uncomfortable.

Maori is very familiar with the former first soldiers in high school, and he was taught intensively during the short-term training during the summer vacation.If King Ni wants to phantom into Byodoin Temple or Zhongjima again, it will lose its effect.

And Maori's talent has undoubtedly been revealed in this year's hard training.

When Maori was still running away from training, he was a genius, and when he took advantage of his talent that day, he had not missed the most aura time, and the room for improvement he could get was terrifying.

The scene of the game was played very fantasy, and the change of rhythm could not be captured at all, but the scene was gradually mastered by Mao Li.

At the end of the whistle, Nioh supported his knees and gasped for breath.

He really wanted to win, but he did feel powerless for a long time.

I won too many games this year, so I haven't felt unconvinced and sad after losing for a long time.

From this point of view, the loss of this game is still worthwhile.

... Forget it, why should I comfort myself from this angle.

Nioh thought silently and clenched his fists.

Mao Li came over and patted the top of his head in front of the net: "Huh, I almost capsized in the gutter."

Much worse.

Nioh thought.

"Okay, I have a reason why I can't lose." Mao Li said softly, "What I want to fight for is the No.1 position in the first army, so this time the individual championship trophy cannot be given away in vain."

Nioh raised his head when he heard the words: "No.1? I will cheer for Yukimura."

Mori laughed: "You should all support Yukimura. In fact, I support it too, but I want to try too. As a senior, it's not okay to always lose to the juniors."

The author has something to say:

The penultimate volume!

Do the math and I'll be done in two more months! (probably roughly)

And the hat stem comes from Sanada and Yagyu's new song, which probably means that appearance is very important to represent a person's character (Sanada's lyrics), and then Yagyu said that it is the same, and so is your hat (Yagyu's lyrics).

And although it has been rumored that Yagyu is the president of the student council, it is true that Sanada is the chairman of the discipline committee in the song, and Yagyu is the committee member.
