Lehigh High School Boys Tennis Club

The rules for this year's opening game are different from last year's.

But this statement is not accurate enough.

It should be said that last year's opening game had different rules than before.

Last year was the first year that the U17 World Championship expanded the scope of participation from high school to junior high school students, and it was mandatory that the ratio of the number of junior high school students to the number of high school students must be the same. Duplicate rules.

The organizers of the event will not directly stipulate that "high school students must play with junior high school students".

This provision does not exist.

However, the opening game was changed from the original whole game to three doubles games, and it was stipulated that high school students and junior high school students must be combined.

Although this is only a regulation for the opening match, it does not exist in the official match.But the official competition also has seemingly loose restrictions.

At least one junior high school student will participate in each competition.

How many teams really put junior high school students in singles positions?

As a result, last year's competition showed a rather strange trend: the doubles combinations were all kinds of strange things, except for the well-known professional player combinations that were not disassembled, many familiar high school representatives brought junior high school students to form Doubles combination.

The Japanese team may be the team that makes the most thorough use of this rule.

It can also be regarded as a blessing to drag a group of high school students selected by heaven.

Except for the combination with Australia Shibuer and Nioh (although Atobe was the last to play), the rest of the doubles matches were a mix of high school and junior high school students.The effect of the temporary partner is actually not bad.

It is precisely because of this that the public opinion in the world arena inevitably has such criticisms:

"It is a coincidence that the Japanese team won the championship."

"Using the changed rules, they can't do anything until the second year."

This year's opening game rules have returned to the original style, which is the official five games, two doubles and three singles, five sets of three wins and one set.

No matter what kind of thoughts they have, the representative teams of other countries will also stare at the Japanese team.

Let's see what kind of spirit they can show this year.

Chitose and Tibetan Rabbit is the first scene.

The audience booed as they walked onto the field.

It is clear that this is the first time Tibetan Rabbit has encountered such a situation, and he is quite calm.He even assessed how many swear words and strange greetings were mixed in these English.

"Just follow what we discussed yesterday?" He turned his head and asked Chitose.

Chitose responded.

When standing on the court, Chitose's mentality changed.

Worry and boredom fade away.

He likes tennis very much.

No amount of hiding can hide this.

Even if I couldn't see it, it was so painful during recovery, and I had such a psychological shadow, and I still wanted to stand on the tennis court in the end.He didn't have to join the tennis club when he transferred schools, but he didn't reject Shiraishi when he came to him.

What if there are ceilings and limits?

I thought so.

But Yukimura said that the limit is used to limit oneself.

If other people said such things, he probably couldn't help ridiculing, saying that standing up and talking didn't hurt his back.

But Yukimura is different.

Even at the point where he might lose his life, he stood up again bit by bit, and stood on the field of the World Championships again.I did have a knot in my heart, but I finally crossed over.

In private, he also lamented that Yukimura was too cruel to him. He was a person who could be used as an example in front of him, but he would get burned unconsciously when he looked at it.

How about being tougher on yourself?

Chitose saw Tachibana in the front row of the stadium side audience.

There are many players who come to watch the game at their own expense, and they probably pass through each other, so the positions are also fixed together, and they gather into a small fan area belonging to the Japanese team.

From such a distance, it is actually impossible to see or hear anything clearly.

But Chitose glanced at Tachibana's figure, and inexplicably felt that he had gained strength from Tachibana's eyes.

He and Ju have reached this point, it is no longer possible to say who owes whom.

It is mutual motivation, but also mutual fetters.Maybe he also became the opponent's demon for a certain period of time, but in the end he was relieved.

Chitose let out a breath.

It was like spitting out a broken bone that had been in the throat for a long time.

It was deeply stuck in the throat, and even the pain was used to it, so I thought I didn't care.

But I still care.

I did the most basic version of the coordination exercise with the Tibetan rabbit the night before.

It only includes the running positions of a few familiar doubles formations, and the basic habits of getting used to playing with each other.

The strength has reached the level of the national team, even if it is a temporary combination, there will be no live performance without a tacit understanding, not to mention that they are indeed complementary in style.

Tibetan Rabbit is usually a polite person with a bit of British cold humor and gentlemanly atmosphere.

He is tall, and he can't tell the age difference when standing next to high school students on weekdays, but he is still a junior high school student.

And after staying in Japan for a long time, he also learned a little style of not knowing whether to say good or bad.

It is "provocation" before the game.

He is always in a Japanese environment, and now he is surrounded by English, which makes him relax.There is no need to spend too much time on language conversion, and the impulse to talk about it that has been suppressed for a long time comes out.

"Is it just this level?"

Such provocative words that often appear in Japanese junior high school league games came out naturally, with some colloquial slang and swear words.

No, or mostly dirty words.

He is too proficient in swearing, and he has a cold face.

The Swede tried to go in the left ear and out the right ear, but he couldn't help frowning after a few balls.

Of course, for Chitose, the Zodiac Rabbit is chirping and chirping.

Even if there is a well-known swear word vocabulary, but really, it is no different from modal particles to him.

The language barrier is quite helpful at this time.

Seeing that his opponent was a little anxious, Chitose naturally activated Brilliant Talent.

When he entered the state of full talent, his mind was clear, the court became a chess game, and every move was the result of calculation.

Theoretically, Brilliant Brilliant is not needed for doubles, and Brilliant Brilliant that Chitose currently uses can only be used as a supporting role.

Turn the prediction of the original inevitable result into the speculation of the possibility of chance, and then use such speculation to deal with it.

As for being talented in doubles, he couldn't help but think of the unusual doubles with Tezuka a year ago, and the match with Nioh Marui in the First Army Challenge not long ago.

Unknowingly, he was left behind by many people, and the prestige of the Kyushu Shuangxiong seems to no longer exist.

But, if you are just unwilling and don't take action, then you can only continue unwillingly.

Are you really willing to do this?

Chitose thought of Yukimura who stood in front of him and spoke softly, but made people unable to do what he said.

It's not impossible.

Going beyond the limit, please the injury, some people have done it.

Eyes... Do eyes have to be important?

You can play a very exciting game even with your eyes closed.

Is he limiting himself?

Analyzing it from this angle alone, the result is also a matter of course.

He started out in rehabilitation and couldn't even lift his arms.

In the same way, it can be deduced that the misjudgment of the battle situation and the lack of field control caused by the difference in vision, do they really exist, or is it also a psychological obstacle?

Really can't do it?

Has he really reached the ultimate level except for his eyes?

It seems that I have thought a lot, but it seems that I have not thought of anything.

Gradually, on the court, only tennis balls can be seen in the eyes.

Then there was a snap, and something was pierced and breached at that moment.

Tachibana on the sidelines excitedly clenched his fists when the lights representing □□Seamless came on, tears streaming down his face involuntarily.

Kuwahara next to him was obviously taken aback: "Tachibana-kun?...Are you okay?"

"No, it's nothing." Ju raised a hand to cover his eyes, and clenched his back molars.

After the game appeared seamlessly, the stalemate completely tilted towards the Japanese team.

Chitose has studied the realm of selflessness for a long time.

In the case of impaired eyesight, he successfully found the entrance of the talented, which shows that Chitose's talent is not bad.But he was too obsessed with the triple limit, which made him unable to find the most seamless entrance.

It is only after I have really seen seamlessness, and seen the seamlessness of many people, that I slowly dispel my obsession.

And many things in the world are like this, you can get it without forcing it.

Chitose woke up when the whistle sounded, thinking he was in a dream.

He smiled happily, and if he wasn't happy, he wouldn't be able to enter the most seamless state.Even though I was tired, I felt more relaxed than ever.

this feeling...

"I did it." He wanted to go to the sidelines and tell Tachibana.

But...Tachibana should be crying now.

Thinking of this, Chitose curled the corners of her lips, clearly smiling, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

Chitose performed well, and Marui, who was going to play next, felt a little stressed.

And he has been under such pressure for a long time.

Haven't spoken to any teammates.

Of course, his smart teammates probably all guessed it too.

It started from last year's World Cup.Although he participated in the World Cup with the team, he didn't perform too well or have a strong will during training with the team, so he didn't have the chance to play in the opening match, group match, knockout match... until the final.

Like a waste.

Especially compared to several of his teammates.

And Marui didn't want to find any reasons and excuses.

All he knew was that it couldn't be like this this year.

Maybe he won't play tennis for long. After graduating from high school, he himself didn't think he would continue such high-intensity tennis training.Wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't achieve any results in tennis in the past two years?

He also once stood at such a high position and had so many great teammates.

"Don't lose to them, Hiji," he said.

Riji responded, and straightened the wristbands on his hands: "The next one is the top."

The author has something to say:

I changed the rules of the opening game myself...

Basically, the World Cup may still be privately set up later.

And the mantra of RB's Tibetan rabbit is really, a word starting with f, it really scares me hhh

...I saw the news before the update that Djokovic tested positive, hey, how could this be...
