Lehigh High School Boys Tennis Club

In the opening game against Sweden, the Japanese team did not plan to keep their hands.

The first-ranked team was arranged in the opening match, just to give everyone a "dismissal" appearance.

Similar to last year, although the German team concealed some of their strength, they actually had a bottom line arrangement of "guaranteed to win". Both QP and Borg were present, and the doubles also confirmed Tezuka's strength among domestic players.

The Japanese team also got the relevant information of the Swedish team before the game.

Yukimura's style has always been the kind where there is a preparation meeting before the game, and everyone is present.

The decision of the national team's roster is in the hands of the coach, but the team leader still has enough right to speak.Last year, the style of Byodoin was discussed with the coach alone, but Yukimura didn't want this.

"Maybe everyone will have very interesting ideas?" He said to Kurobe, "A person's wisdom is always limited."

"You are right to say that." Kurobe understands the reason why Yukimura came to him alone to "report" the arrangement, "But the coaching staff will not participate in your discussion meeting, and the results of your discussion cannot be fully adopted .”

"Of course I know." Yukimura smiled.

Yukimura asked two trainers to help with the editing of the game video that the Swedish team could get.There are only important information, similar to game highlights, and there are some people who appear on the list, but they are neither professional players, nor do they seem to have appeared in official games, and there is no video information at all.

"Opening match, do you have any ideas?"

Use this sentence as an opening statement.

Considering that the team has been formed for a while, but has not yet reached the level of "very familiar", when he said this sentence, Yukimura had already glanced at his teammates at Lihai University.

There are always people who throw bricks and attract jade.

It is not considered that the opinion expressed by the person who speaks first is the meaning of "brick".

Nioh leaned back and glanced at Marui who was sitting next to him.

He nudged Marui's side with his elbow.

Marui: Although I mean that I want to play more, but you look like the kind of bad guy who asks me in class and asks me an elbow.

Marui glanced at Nioh quickly, coughed lightly again, and adjusted his expression: "If possible, I want to play."

"Where are the others?" Yukimura asked.

Xiao Jin also quickly raised his hand: "I also want to play in the game!"

After the atmosphere became active, the analysis of the opponent's video and the rehearsal of one's own tactics became smoother.

Yukimura actually has an idea, but he won't speak out.In the process of the meeting, he is good at and has been doing it all the time to get the desired result through persuasion.

He also has a pre-planned plan for Marui's chance to play. In addition to Marui, Chitose is also the one he wants to play in this game.

To activate everyone's competitive state as soon as possible.

Of course, there must be people who press the field.

He himself will not play in the first game, but considering the importance of the opening game, Tokugawa and Mori will always play together.Echizen and Xiaojin always have to play one.

Since Xiao Jin volunteered, the quota has been confirmed.

After the analysis of the data, the list of those who indicated that they wanted to play was also recorded, and the possible appearance plan was also discussed during the meeting.

Of course, this is all uncertain.

"I will submit these lists to the coach after the meeting, but how the coach will arrange it will not be officially announced until the night before the game."

After everyone dispersed, Yukimura slowly sorted out the materials and put away the computer.

He went back to the room first, and went to Chitose again before going to the coach.

"If you have any ideas, you can tell me first." Yukimura still chooses the most direct way of communication, "Whether it's doubles or singles. You always have to play in the opening match."

Chitose has also recovered a little in the past two days, and understands that the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity cannot be wasted because of his mentality.

He has already wasted many opportunities.

Doubles, or singles.

With his current state, if it is a singles match, can he guarantee victory?

But if it's doubles, with his current mentality, it's similar to passing the pressure on, right?

Seeing his tangled face, Yukimura advised him: "You don't have to think too much. If there is someone you think is suitable for you to cooperate with, you can naturally tell me that it is not a bad thing to try a new doubles partner. If you don't want to, you can also play singles .”

"Is it okay to lose?" Chitose asked.

It was intentional, and there was a little bit of anger.

Yukimura smiled lightly after hearing this: "This is the opening game, Chitose. If you can find your problem in the game, then losing the game is worthwhile."

"I remember Li Haida's rules are not like this."

"But you're not a member of Rikkai University, aren't you?" Yukimura said, "What's the style of Shitenpoji Temple?"

Chitose was at a loss for words.

It doesn't mean to engage in school confrontation, but Yukimura and Rikkai's styles are too strong to be ignored.But after getting a natural response in this way, Chitose felt that he was too aggressive.

"I'll think about it." He pursed his lips and turned his head slightly.

After saying goodbye to Chitose, Yukimura went to talk to Marui again.

Conversations with Marui are simple and direct.

Marui said that although I want to play singles, I don't have the confidence to play singles well.Sweden ranks 23rd in the world, which is the ranking of the Japanese team last year, and there are no outstanding professional players in the team.But Marui also experienced the group stage with the team last year, knowing that those who can participate in the World Championship are not easy to save.

Australia's ranking was not high last year, but it still caused a lot of trouble for the Japanese team in the game.

What's more, he also wants to play a wonderful game in the group stage and knockout stage.

From the current point of view, it is obviously easier for him to excel in doubles than singles.

"Actually, I can also try to partner with Chitose?" After Marui finished speaking, he felt that it was not good enough, "But I don't get along with him. In comparison, I actually cooperate well with Shinozu."

"Your cooperation wasn't surprising enough. Besides, Ninzu didn't make it to the 14-man list in the end." Yukimura said this and remembered Atobe suppressing his dissatisfaction when he saw the list.It is understandable that different goals in life lead to different levels of effort. Yukimura himself would not ask others to play tennis with his life like himself.In the past, when Nioh liked to play, he didn't pour cold water on it.Outsiders always think that the internal atmosphere of Lihai University is divided into layers and the supremacy of power, but it is not true.But Yukimura also feels that he has no obligation to talk about this with people who don't understand.

After going through the list of players in his mind, Yukimura said: "Actually, according to the rules of the World Cup, the high school group and the junior high school group will play together. How about I ask Kirihara to play doubles with you?"

Marui was shocked: "Minister! Are you kidding me?!"

Yukimura raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you like it? Then Hiyoshi."

Hiji and Xiangri have been doubles partners for a while.Yukimura noticed this when doing technical analysis.

I didn't try to match them during the practice match, but I can draw a similar conclusion based on observations from Yukimura.

He and Marui reached a consensus, and before saying goodbye, he also said that the result has not been determined, and some of the coaches' final list will definitely be revised.

"But you and Chitose will definitely appear, as well as Xiaojin."

A few days later, the lineup was announced after dinner the night before the opening game.

"Doubles [-], Chitose Chisato, Kuratuza. Doubles [-], Marui Bunta, Hikichiwaka. Singles [-], Toyama Kintaro. Singles [-], Shusuke Fuji. Singles [-], Tokugawa Kazuya."

Judging from the list of appearances, the two doubles games have the meaning of exploration.

Tibetan Rabbit's tennis style is the traditional Kansai style (to put it bluntly, violent tennis in the same strain).Every year at the Kansai Competition, Shitenboji has a deep connection with Nagoya Xingde.And Chitose's doubles style of play is obviously more suitable for cooperating with violent tennis players.

And the Tibetan Rabbit constellation has also made great progress this year, and the development speed of the Caucasians themselves has a great advantage at this age.

When Chitose heard the name of Tibetan Rabbit, he understood the meaning of the coaching staff's arrangement.

He also believes that Yukimura must have corresponding suggestions.

It was for the victory of the team, and it also implied a warning to him.

Their leader...

Chitose stroked his hair, thinking that although his sister can't come to the United States to watch the game, but she will also watch live TV, he can't behave too badly and embarrass himself in front of his relatives and friends.

More than a year ago, he was still able to compete with Tezuka!

Just one year left by these people?

He can't accept this kind of result!

With such a mood, Chitose called Tibetan Rabbit to stop after dinner.

The Tibetan Rabbit, whose Japanese is much better, has no obstacles in daily communication with other people.Regarding the tactics and coordination of doubles, there are still a few hours to run in at night.

Besides Chitose, Marui and Hiyoshi also tacitly came to the indoor tennis practice room after dinner.

The lights in the practice room were on for a long time that night. It was Yukimura who took the trainer down to urge them to go back to the room to rest. He also made an appointment for physical therapy in advance. First, the trainer took them to the lounge to finish the massage and Physiotherapy put them back to the room.

The opening game of the second day was very lively.

Although it was a youth competition, the fact that the World Cup champion was taken away by an Asian still made many white people feel dissatisfied.

Even if they also dislike Sweden, most of the Americans present will become Swedish supporters when Japan and Sweden play.

The Japanese team had expected this in advance.

Most of those present had played in the World Cup last year and already knew what it was like to play while being booed by the crowd.

The booing of the audience will not make them unbalanced mentality, but will double their motivation.

Compared with the audience, what they care more about is actually the other seeded teams that have already reached the sidelines.

Team USA, Team Germany, Team France, Team Switzerland...

The teams that should come have come, of course, including other opponents that may be faced in the group stage.

"Let them see our determination too? I only want the result of the defending champion." Yukimura turned around, clapped his hands on his chest twice, and finished the sentence in a rather relaxed tone, which should be encouraging Words of morale.

Too crazy and too arrogant.

But isn't their goal exactly this?

"This is our first appearance this year, let others see our determination."

The broadcast that represented the start of the game rang, and the broadcast room began to introduce the members of the two teams, all 28 people, and the list of seven players that had been reported today.If there is a need for a substitute, the substitute can be decided on the spot.

"The World Cup opening match between the Japanese team and the Swedish team is about to begin, the countdown to the game, 10 minutes—"

The author has something to say:

The final of the World Cup should be the opening match, three group matches, and then start 32 into 16,16, 8,8 into 4,4, 2 into [-], [-] into [-], and finally the final, a total of nine games.I won't write every game, find a few opponents to write like this.

There may be two games in the group stage, and a few games in the knockout round.
