Lehigh High School Boys Tennis Club

There will be a three-day break before the knockout rounds officially begin.

This year's Japanese team's group stage draw results are much better than last year's. The opponents are not difficult to deal with. The members of the national team have also improved to a certain extent, so there is no pre-match reduction like last year.

Of course, national team substitutes such as Shinozu and Tachibana have already come to the United States.

There is no need for a substitute now, and it will be hard to say when the knockout rounds start.

In order to prevent accidents, all members received a simple physical examination and physical therapy on the evening of the end of the group stage to ensure that there is no problem with their physical condition and muscle condition.

During the three days of rest, Amadeus also brought the club staff to the Japanese team's club.

They had an agreement with Yakujin a long time ago, and judging from the current situation, Yakujin has recovered very well without sequelae, his tennis skills have not deteriorated, and his weaknesses have been made up to a certain extent.

Amadeus admired Yakutsu last year, and naturally urged the club's people to fulfill the contract.

Both Kurobe and Mifune were jointly involved in the meeting with the club.

They will not hinder Akujin's future, but will help review the contract with the club.

According to the meaning of the club, it is natural to play for the Swiss team from the knockout stage.

Kurobe and Mifune did not object to such a proposal.

"It's good to go in advance, to be able to adapt in advance."

Yakujin thought about it all night, and Qianshi asked him to go out to watch the moon.

"Aren, what are you hesitating about? Don't you want us to be rivals? I never thought you like me so much, Aren." Qian Shi said with a smile.

Akutsu: It's disgusting, that kind of tone.

He frowned: "Don't order me!"

"It's not an order, I just feel that this is a good opportunity, isn't it? Besides, Ren, we haven't played a good game for a long time, don't you think that I will definitely lose to you."

Akutsu snorted.

He finally agreed to the conditions offered by the club, and the Swiss team also took advantage of the two days before the knockout round to do emergency physical examinations and tactical drills under the lead of Amadeus.

"Only tennis matches can do this." Yukimura also helped Akutsu through the formalities. After finishing the matter, he remembered that Echizen also joined the Japanese team after playing for the US team in the group stage last year. Echizen Ryuya was also playing against the US team. After the team finished the group stage, they suddenly joined Spain. I couldn't help but find it interesting.

"If it's a basketball game or a volleyball game, adding people suddenly..." Yukimura said with a smile, "That would be completely beneficial to the opponent."

In terms of tacit understanding, it is impossible to run in such a short period of time.

Tactics don't work either.

Running positions have also become only the most basic.

Only a sport like tennis, which is essentially a solitary game, and where team competitions are also accumulated from the results of individual and double competitions, can it be possible to change players frequently without any scruples.

It also makes the competition more intense.

Akutsu joined the Swiss team, and the Japanese team has an extra spot.

Considering that Chitose is in the national team and his attitude towards the game, Tachibana finally joined the national team.

Last year, he rejected the reserve spot, and this year he still joined the national team by relying on the reserve spot. Ju was also a little helpless and unwilling.But he still has the will to fight, and after seeing Chitose's transformation, he released the beasts he had imprisoned little by little.

He didn't want to be Chitose's shackles, not at all.

In the match against Ala Menoma, what needs to be paid attention to is their mental power attack.

The tricks of the essence are all spiritual power, so players with keen mental power and strong resistance are required to participate in the competition.

Yukimura thought about it and found King Nio.

It doesn't mean that King Ren wants to fight.

Instead, I want to ask Niwang for news.

"You also communicated with those strange people last year," he said.

It is a declarative sentence with a definite meaning.

Nioh: "...Ah."

This cannot be hidden, after all, he has indeed used phantoms.

"So, from your point of view, what type of mental power are they using?"

Nioh thought about it.

Speaking of direct attack, it is also different from the attack method of Yuezhi's spiritual assassin.

But it is by no means an indirect attack.

It is true that people can have hallucinations, but it is not induced, but directly constructs a weird mental picture.

After talking about his feelings, King Ni added: "I don't think this kind of mental attack can cause substantial damage. In fact, it's similar to listening to too much chanting. As long as they can withstand the mental shock wave, then their Skill is never enough."

The competition in Group H is also similar to last year's scene.

Yukimura also found the videotape, so he agrees with Nioh's conclusion.

Both Serbia and Brazil rank very low, and there is not much resistance to the mental impact of Ala Menorma.But correspondingly, the Russian players were not even considered mentally resistant. They just relied on their willpower to withstand the shock wave and won the game directly by their tennis skills.

Yukimura straightened out his train of thought, and confirmed his guess and inference through the dialogue with Nioh.

He also expressed this conclusion in the pre-match meeting.

In fact, among the members of the national team, especially the high school students, their mental resistance is not weak, and it is not difficult to fight against Alameinoma.

In the evening, the coaching staff came to announce the roster.

Second doubles, Hiyoshiwaka, Tibetan rabbit, first doubles, Tachibana Kihei, Chitose Chisato, third singles, Zazen Ko, second singles, Kite Eishiro, first singles, Mitsuya Akuto

And Ala Menorma did not cost the Japanese team too much effort.

None of the people in the Japanese national team can't bear it without perseverance.

Even if he is temporarily affected by the opponent's mental power, he can still resist it.

And they soon discovered that the opponent really had no other lethal power except for chanting sutra-style spiritual attacks.

In this way, how difficult is it to win?

After they finished the game, they still had time to watch the end of the game between Britain and Russia.

The British team has not performed well this year and has also struggled against Russia.

Of course, the strength and perseverance of the Siberian wolf itself is the top in the world, and after the addition of junior high school students as members of the national team, it is not only the Japanese team that has benefited. one.

"Our opponent in the next round is Russia."

After watching Russia beat Great Britain 3-1, Yukimura took a deep look at his opponents in the next round.

And Russia's main general also raised his head at the same time.

Across the crowd watching the battle, they had a confrontational look at each other.

After the other groups of matches came out, the match list for the quarterfinals also came out.

Japan VS Russia, USA VS Canada, Germany VS Switzerland, Spain VS France.

Qianshi looked at the "Germany VS Switzerland" place for a long time, thinking that he still wanted to face off with Akutsu in the World Cup, but it seemed that he had no chance.

"Will Germany lose to Switzerland?" he murmured to himself.

Liu happened to pass by behind him, and gave an answer solemnly: "20.00% possibility, about."

The Japanese team did lose miserably last year, losing all three games against Switzerland in the group stage.

But last year the Swiss team's main players were all third-year high school players, and now the entire batch has graduated.

This is also one of the reasons why Amadeus urged the club to sign Yakujin, and the club urged Yakujin to report to the Swiss team as soon as possible after signing.

Although he himself doesn't care much about the outcome of the World Cup, he will find it annoying that his juniors call him every day to ask him to help.

But thinking about the match against Switzerland last year...

"Why don't you use the four swords style this year?" Qian Shi turned his head and asked Mu Shou who was not far away.

Wood hand:"……"

What the hell, what is the four swords style.

That is only a stopgap measure, who takes four rackets when playing tennis seriously...

For the game against Russia, the pre-match analysis is relatively simple.

The Russians have a distinctive character and a very special style.

The Great Pyrenees has a strong body and a solid style of play. It is unwise to go head-to-head. Technical flow may be a better choice.

The list of matches will be finalized soon.

Second doubles, Tamagawa Yoshio, Ho Chotaro, first doubles, Yanagi Renji, Marui Bunta, third singles, Sengoku Kiyomi, second singles, Fuji Shusuke, first singles, Kuranosuke Shiraishi

Qian Shi took the initiative to ask for a job.

There is no chance to play against Yakujin, so it is not bad to play against the Russians.

He also wanted to test the extent of his stamina and strength.

Although head-to-head is the stupidest way, how do you know if you don't try?

And it's not like he doesn't know how to play technically.

This year Yukimura arranges the list of appearances, and will not consider the mix and match of high school and junior high school first.

In his opinion, the tacit understanding and emotion between doubles players is more important than the direct combination of skills.

Of course, there is also the reason for King Ni who always came to him to talk about it.

Yukimura couldn't help but laugh: "Don't you fight anyone yourself?"

"Playing doubles with someone you don't know well is tiring." Nioh complained, "So are you thinking about doubles with me? I thought you would play once in the group stage."

"Why do you ask?"

"If you don't play in the quarter-finals, then you will only play in the final. You must play singles in the final, right?"

"Well." Yukimura didn't admit or refute, just said, "After the World Cup, will you participate in the Davis Cup selection at the end of the year?"

"The adult national team..." Nioh understood Yukimura's meaning and couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "You must be thinking too far."

"Since you've considered playing professionally, walk faster. Run. The current speed is not enough."

I have surpassed many people.

But what Yukimura said was not wrong.

If you compare yourself with Yukimura, you are indeed too slow.

Feeling the pressure suddenly, Nio silently got up from Yukimura's bed.

"What's wrong?" Yukimura asked him with a smile.

King Ren sighed: "I didn't come to listen to your lecture."

In the match against Russia the next day, Feng was a little nervous standing on the sidelines of the court.

Yu Chuan saw his nervousness.

"We are both vice ministers." He found a topic, "Speaking of which, Li Haida and Bingdi also have a practice match, but they haven't had any contact with you before. It's really my mistake."

Feng gave him a strange look: "Why do you say that?"

"I didn't expect to play doubles with you." Yu Chuan was very frank, "I don't know you very well. Do you know me?"

"Of course we will analyze Li Haida's information," Feng said.

Yuchuan smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Then at least our cooperation will not have any major problems."

"...So how did your logic come together?" Feng was a little speechless.

They walked onto the pitch and started warming up.

Strictly speaking, they are not particularly unfamiliar.

As Yu Chuan said, they are all deputy ministers, so they will have different degrees of contact during the lottery, sleepover, training camp, and practice games.

Feng doesn't like Li Haida, and she also has some dislike for Kirihara. Her impression of Yuchuan can be summed up as "a smiling tiger".

But he recognized Yuchuan's strength.

And now the two of them are going to double...

Feng took two deep breaths, and his brows and eyes became determined.

Tamagawa is good at volleying and field control.

His style is the same as his whole person, gentle, dense, and unobtrusive.

This also means that he is actually very suitable as a supporting role in doubles.

But Feng's style of play is completely different from his appearance, it is a high-speed attack type.

The combination of the two of them is completely different from Feng and Shido's famous doubles.

Therefore, Tamagawa and Feng also had the most basic plan before going on stage.

When they faced Russia, they could be regarded as facing a hard-handed opponent.Therefore, Yukimura also made it clear to them before going on stage, asking them to try to challenge themselves.

"I know it's hard."

The implication is that this is a challenge.

Even what Feng and Yuchuan could hear was, "I know that you are likely to lose this game, and I only hope that you can gain something from this game."

Tamagawa adapted well to Yukimura's rhetoric.

When Yukimura was a minister, he always told the truth. He felt that you could not win and he was outspoken. He asked you to do your best to win and he was straightforward and direct.Under such pressure, if the ability to resist pressure is insufficient, or the mentality is not good enough, it is easy to collapse.

But Yuchuan is very comfortable with this.

Feng doesn't like this style, but she doesn't raise any objections.

He, too, was aroused by such a statement to rebel.

Are you underestimating me?

I don't intend to lose!

There were some mistakes in the cooperation between the two of them in the first game, so they lost the first game under the pressure of their opponents.But in the second game, he adjusted his state immediately, followed the opponent's offensive, struck late, and won the second game.

In the third game, I started to fight for perseverance.

And both of them have good perseverance.

Gritting his teeth, he persisted and dragged to the tiebreaker.

Finally exhausted.

This performance is good enough, so their opponents gave them applause.

Of course, for Feng and Yuchuan, this is not a very satisfactory result.

I want to win... I don't want to lose!

Such a will burns in their hearts.

And this is exactly what Yukimura needs.

It seems that I am already thinking about next year, although there is a high probability that I will not participate in the U17 of the Japanese team next year.Yukimura thought so, and clapped his hands encouragingly to Feng and Tamagawa who came back.

The author has something to say:

Round of [-] matches: Japan VS Alameinorma, UK VS Russia, USA VS Italy, Belgium VS Canada, Germany VS Argentina, China VS Switzerland, Spain VS Denmark, South Africa VS France

The next round of the top eight matchup table (or cross-match in the order of AH): Japan VS Russia, the United States VS Canada, Germany VS Switzerland, Spain VS France

Final Four: Japan VS France, USA VS Germany

It took a long time to draw the line to avoid mistakes and write it here first.
