Lehigh High School Boys Tennis Club

"Why can't the World Championship be held in Japan?" The members of the national team gathered at the airport, yawning, inevitably complained in the waiting room waiting for the plane to take off.

"When we win the championship for two more years, the World Cup will be held in Japan." Yukimura said with a smile, his tone was light and shallow, but he said something extraordinary.

Echizen heard the words and glanced at him, agreeing with this statement.

"MADAMADADANE." He looked away and glanced at his boarding pass.

Tickets are booked together.

Of course Atobe could continue to arrange private jets, but the Tennis Association refused.

Although it is a sponsor of investment promotion, the Tennis Association itself also has funds approved by the sports department, and the procedures for official events are usually established, and rash changes will cause more trouble.

With the exception of 28 national team members, the list of possible substitutes has also been finalized.Of course, they will not be with the team, but they will have a chance to change the roster before the knockout round at the end of the group stage, and there will be a three-day rest period in between.

It was at this time last year that Sengoku and Shinozu flew from Japan to Australia, and this year's arrangement is not bad.

Mitsuya and Liu are official members of the national team this year, but the data team is still formed and with the team.

Gan, Guanyue and Tan Taiyi are the candidates for this year's data group.

And each school also has people who want to watch the game at their own expense. These people arrange the itinerary and accommodation according to what Atobe means.

"It doesn't cost much." Atobe said.

Of course, in the end Atobe didn't get what he wanted.

After all, private schools and most public schools also have sufficient funds for club activities. If there are members participating in this kind of international competition club, there will be separate funding.There is no need to owe favors if the matter can be reimbursed, right?

The practice of the World Championship is that the champion of the previous year will participate in the opening match of the second year.

Therefore, this year's World Cup, the Japanese team will still play in the opening game.

Their opponent is the Swedish team ranked in the top 20.

The draw for the group stage will take place after the opening match.

Of course, the top eight automatically become the group seed players, so the Japanese team, as last year's champion and No.1 team this year, has reserved a seed player position.

Similarly, they and the other seven national teams who are also seeded players will not meet in the group stage.

This year's top eight are last year's top eight, namely Germany, Canada, France, Switzerland, the United States, Russia, Spain, and the Japanese team itself.

If you compare the lists of the two years, Argentina, England and Belgium were the quarterfinals of the previous year, and this year they will be broken into each group because they failed to be the quarterfinals last year.

Both England and Belgium were opponents that Yukimura contacted half a month ago when he led the team for a practice match.

Naturally, both sides will not give their best in the practice match, but they are not completely ignorant.

This is also one of the opportunities that the Japanese team got this year.

"But... America is so cold." After getting off the plane, everyone stayed at the airport for a while, waiting for the bus that had been arranged earlier.During this period of time, everyone went to get the checked luggage first, and after standing and waiting for a while, they couldn't help opening the suitcases to get down jackets or coats.

"When we get to the hotel, there will be heating." The staff accompanying the team comforted.

Kirihara put his hands in the red and white gloves of the Christmas color, and there was a bit of hope in his tone: "I don't know if there will be a fireplace."

"Christmas is over, unfortunately you won't see Santa Claus." Marui joked.

Kirihara actually put on a genuinely regretful expression.

Riji blinked, frowned slightly, and held back what he wanted to say, and stopped talking after a while.

He looked left and right, took two steps to the side, and chose Nioh, who seemed quite friendly.

Nioh:?I?friendly?

"Senior Nioh." Hikichi asked softly, "Kirhara believes in Santa Claus?"

Nioh was hunched over and a little drowsy, but after hearing this sentence, he became more sober, and turned his head to glance at the head of the middle school department of the "friendship school".

In fact, the two of them are acquaintances. Although they are not friends, they are not strangers either.

After all, the birthdays are both in December, and the birthdays are separated by less than 24 hours. Last year, they also had a collective birthday in the training camp and played games together.

We also celebrated our birthday together this year, because there were more people in the training camp than last year and it was more lively.

"Of course Santa Claus exists." Nioh said solemnly, "We live in the world of fairy tales."

He was not in a good spirit, so he ran the train with his mouth full and didn't write a draft. He knew that this sentence was full of flaws, but he said it with confidence.

Hiji: "...I see."

Li Haida's people are quite childlike.

No, in other words, Li Haida's people indulged Kirihara too much.

After Hiyoshi understood Nioh's answer with his own logic, he relaxed his brows and nodded clearly.

Having won the championship last year, this year's funding has naturally increased to a higher level. Coupled with the income from some business opportunities that Atobe found as a sponsor, the conditions of the Japanese team this year are better than last year.

The hotel has a star rating and is a hotel with its own golf course (of course, due to the price gap between the United States and Australia, the hotel I booked is not on the beach like in Australia, but in a suburban location, a short distance from New York City distance), not far from the playing field.

The room has also changed from a three-person room to a two-person room, which is more spacious and the internal facilities are more comfortable.

Roommate matching follows the principle of voluntariness.

You can form a team by yourself, and if you don’t know who to live with, you can wait until the end and make a unified arrangement.

Everyone doesn't want to stay until the end and be arranged in a unified way.

It's just finding a roommate, how difficult is it?

It's not like I don't have friends.

So the familiar people naturally hit it off: Mitsuya and Yanagi, Nioh went to Huadi, Shiraishi and Fuji, Iwu and Kamio, Feng and Hiyoshi.

The combination of other people seemed a bit hectic: Sanada wanted to share a room with Yukimura, but Yukimura smiled and refused (Xingmura: I do data analysis work and sleep late at night and don’t want to be woken up in the morning, you might as well ask Hiyoshi-kun or Mu Te Jun?), Qianshi wanted to be with Akutsu, but turned around and saw the eyes of the junior Tan Taiyi following Akutsu.

Qianshi thinks about it, I guess I can't compete with Taiyi.

After disputes and discussions, all the rooms were settled.Except for the undisputed five rooms, the remaining people have also chosen their own roommates.Ajiujin and Dan Taiyi became roommates under Qianshi's matchmaking (Qianshi: Little Taiyi, you should be more courageous and talk to Ajiujin directly), and he went to find Tibetan Rabbit, who looks better and has no teammates. seat (in fact, his English is very good).Yukimura and Tokugawa got along very well during their study tour before, and now they have reached a tacit understanding and become roommates; Mori thinks that roommates can’t be better known anyway, so anyone can do it, so he clicked when Tamagawa came over and asked if he could live together head.

Kirihara originally wanted to share a room with Marui, but Yukimura smiled and said that you had better change to a roommate, which was obviously a sequela from playing games on the plane.Marui shrugged indifferently, turned around and called out to Mu Te (Ki Te: ... I really can't escape you Tachikai, damn it), Kirihara snorted, and when he turned around to find someone else, Yukimura pulled him away. I looked at Sanada who was standing not far away: "You two share a room, and catch up on the old days."

Kirihara: I'm suffocating, I'm about to suffocate!I also don't want to have old people working and resting!

There was no way, just as he was about to refute, he met Uesanada's sharp eyes, and immediately fell ill.

Xiao Jin originally wanted to share a room with Echizen, but Zaizen reached out and grabbed Xiao Jin's back collar: "Let's share a room, Jin-chan."

"Ah, Echizen—"

"MADAMADADANE." Echizen blinked, heaved a sigh of relief and at the same time raised his hand and gave Momoshiro who was standing beside him a high-five.

Kaitang watching: Hiss——

He saw that only he and Chitose were left in the end.

After knowing that he was selected but Tachibana was not, Chitose felt a little out of sorts.

Of course, both Yukimura and the coach approached him later, and the meaning was very straightforward, because he and Tachibana were substitutes for each other.

"The combination of the two of you in doubles has not met my standards. In terms of singles ability, both of you have obvious shortcomings." Yukimura Wen's gentle voice always said very cruel words. Thinking about it, Chitose couldn't help but sigh, "You will have a chance to play in the group stage. And if someone is injured and retired during the group stage, Tachibana will make up for it."

"Like last year?" Chitose smiled self-deprecatingly, "One year has passed, and neither of us has made much progress."

"Then work harder." Yukimura said, "The limit is what you use to limit yourself. Do you understand?"

The truth is this, but how difficult is it to really do it?

Chitose thought, if he didn't adjust during the ten days of the preparation period, maybe Yukimura would make a substitution without waiting for the start of the game.

After all, there is still a chance to change the list before the start of the group stage.

World Cup...

He reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth, and smiled at Haitang who was looking at him: "Then, please give me your advice, Mr. Haitang."

Haitang: "... Please give me some advice."

Since it is in the United States, the venue for the World Cup will directly use the venue of the US Open.

Last year's Australian game was also directly used as the Australian Open venue.

The Japanese team arrived in the United States ten days earlier, and it took one day to recuperate the jet lag, and the simple practice began on the third day.

In the indoor venue of the reserved hotel, the amount of practice is not large, just to maintain the state.

When going abroad, the eating conditions have deteriorated.

Nutritious meals provided by the hotel kitchen.

"Do you want to do some extra activities this year?" Seeing that everyone was not in high spirits, Coach Sanchuan thought while touching the jug.

But this sentence was heard by several players nearby, and everyone shook their heads frantically.

"No coach! We'll practice hard!"

A pickup contest on the beach is humiliating enough, it's fun but the near misses are real.

Now in the hotel, if you overplay it...won't it cause any international disputes?

The author has something to say:

The more you prepare for the exam, the more anxious you become...

And the relationship between King Nioh and Hiyoshi was pulled by me hhh

They are all Sagittarius, but they actually have a common language (they don’t), anyway, they know each other.

And I found out that there was one more person in the high school group when I was in the dormitory today, so I changed the previous chapter ORZ
