Lehigh High School Boys Tennis Club

Promoting the vigorous development of domestic tennis has always been the wish of professional tennis players.

Ever since Echizen Minamijiro achieved unparalleled results in international competitions, tennis, which was not paid attention to at first, has attracted the attention of many people.However, to the frustration of the earlier generation of sportsmen, Echizen Minamijiro retired bravely after getting good results, and retired directly.

You are so young!Why retire!

People from the previous generation of Tennis Association wanted to yell at Echizen Nanjiro like this, but unfortunately they couldn't.

No one can control Echizen Minamijiro.

Even the members of the Tennis Association can't do anything to Echizen Nanjiro-professional sportsmen with good grades to that level will always be offered, and the public opinion is the most ambiguous, and the official must maintain Echizen Nanjiro's personal image , and even had to do publicity for him.

Otherwise, the tennis circle that has just had a budding development is very likely to wither directly.

"Idol star" is a necessity.

Just like Echizen Minamijiro back then.

It's also like Kaede Rukawa, who is known for his outstanding performance in the NBA in recent years.

Although looking vertically, Rukawa Kaede’s NBA career is also very struggling. Most of the time he played as a substitute rotation camp. He only got a middle-class contract at the highest and a basic salary for most of his career. But he is Japan’s NBA No.1. Also won the championship with the team.

Because of Rukawa Kaede's achievements and his handsome appearance, Japanese basketball has developed very rapidly in recent years.

Even the attention of Japan's domestic professional league has increased.

Of course, the Tennis Association also wants to have such results.

And they also have "hope".

The good results of the U17 World Cup allowed them to find a player from the new generation of players who may become their next "idol star".Echizen Nanjiro's son Echizen Ryoma is not only superb at the game, but also has the "background" of Echizen Nanjiro, which can be used as a topic for continuous publicity.As for Yukimura, Tezuka is a player who is sure to enter the professional arena. Although they are all injured, they are also expected to have a good development (after all, tennis does not have as much physical requirements as basketball).

More importantly, they have achieved such good results as World Cup champions, and they can use the platform of the U17 World Cup to promote this group of young players and drive the development of tennis.

The Nets Association has been waiting for this day for a long time.

They used to have great hopes for Echizen Nanjiro, but Echizen Nanjiro's character is not something people from the Tennis Association can grasp.

But this time, the U17 youth team can discover so many talented players.

As long as one or two of them can perform well in the professional arena, or even worse, can have a highlight performance in the Davis Cup, the Tennis Association will be satisfied.

This is a decades-long layout. From the very beginning, coach Sanchuan used his connections to start the U17 training camp, from the public selection of high school students instead of the previous internal recommendation, to the formation of a complete coaching team, and investment in construction An advanced training center was set up, and training invitations were even issued to foreign players of Japanese descent and foreign players playing in domestic middle school leagues...

"The result is right in front of us." Saito sighed.

As far as he could see, Li Haida's second doubles won the game with a big score of 6-1 and 6-2.

When he just got his Ph.D. in psychology and was invited by the coach of Sanfuan, he did not foresee that middle school tennis would eventually develop to such a point.In fact, coach Sanchuan can only interfere with the internal affairs of the training camp. His right to speak in the Tennis Association is limited and he cannot interfere with other places.But coach Sanchuan has done all the preparations and waited patiently until the talent burst in the past few years.

Geniuses like Byodoin, Tokugawa, Yukimura, and Echizen were unthinkable before.

Even players as strong as the "first doubles" pair of Li Haida in the arena are hard to see in the youth team.

He initially accepted the invitation of coach Sanfuan, just because of his love for tennis (he was also a member of the tennis club in college, but his own ability was limited to play well) and he was moved by the crazy plan of coach Sanfuan.

What kind of result can such a crazy three-ship coach get in the end?

He wants to know that.

And now, he saw it.

As for Coach Sanchuan, he was obviously sharper than he thought.

He looks rough and hot on the outside, but he is actually a careful person.After "upset" to win the World Cup, Mifune directly took advantage of the sudden popularity of tennis and reached an agreement with the Basketball Association and the Volleyball Association.And it just so happens that in the middle school basketball world and the middle school volleyball world, there are surprising players appearing.On the basketball side, in Saito's eyes, the famous "generation of miracles" in junior high school is as amazing as the group of magical junior high school students who participated in the U17 selection half a year ago.As for volleyball, in the national competitions, amazing players of absolute strength appeared. At the same time, domestic clubs and national teams also had amazingly talented players.

This is hope.

Because the official association has seen such hope, and also hopes to use this hope to guide more people to participate in sports, and use this hope to increase the commercial value of the sport itself, it agreed to pass the resolution of the U17 joint training camp.

Tennis has a complete and complete U17 system, but it has just started in commercial development and needs to use part of the commercial channels of the Basketball Association.

Although basketball also has the U17 World Cup, it has not performed very well, and it only directly recruits high-performing players from high school students to form the national team (similar to the selection of the Autumn National Sports). They need to refer to the Tennis Association here. The entire U17 training and selection system has been developed for more than ten years.

As for volleyball, it is because the World Youth Volleyball Championship, which can also be referred to as the U20 Volleyball World Cup, will be held next year.The Japanese youth team almost lost the Intercontinental Championship (that is, almost lost the qualification to participate in the World Cup), and the results of the previous adult World Championships were not good, especially in 98 and 06 when Japan was the host country. But failed to get a medal. In the 70s, Japanese volleyball was a strong country, and the Volleyball Association was in a hurry.It just so happened that there was an explosion of talents in the national competition in high school, so I quickly contacted the Tennis Association and the Basketball Association, which were already negotiating, to get a foot in this joint training and selection plan.

Speaking of which, tennis is a bit out of tune with other sports.

Whether it is basketball or volleyball, adult championships are held every four years.

Youth competitions are held every two years.

There is only tennis, probably because the adult team competition Davis Cup is held once a year, so the youth U17 World Cup is also held once a year.If professional players participate in team competitions and individual Grand Slam competitions at the same time, it will be really busy.

It is precisely because the tennis team competition is held once a year that Sanchuan coach's U17 training camp can be opened, and it can also get the support of the Tennis Association.

Otherwise, the two-year, four-year selection, and the establishment of a large-scale training camp, will be blocked by more people, no matter from the perspective of money or necessity.

But now there is a joint training camp, tennis has a youth competition every year, and the years of basketball and volleyball youth competitions happen to be staggered. This is a win-win situation.

As for the further selection of the national team, tennis is not as important as basketball and volleyball.

After all, even if tennis is a team competition, individual strength is more important.The team game of tennis is said to be a single and double match after another, and it does not pay as much attention to real tactics and teamwork as basketball and volleyball.

The Tennis Association hopes that the young players they train will be able to perform in the four Grand Slams and Masters.

They don't need any team players.

This is why only the Tennis Association has established a U17 training camp.

Although the cultivation of personal ability is difficult, we should not only pay attention to the cultivation of personal ability, but also pay attention to the cultivation of team tactics.

Since the establishment of the joint training camp project, basketball coaches and volleyball coaches do not know how much they envy tennis coaches.

From a kinematic point of view, they are too difficult.

Coach Kurobe and Saito also intend to make a difference in this situation.

They are full of youth in the coaching world. Young people (although they are all in their 40s) still have a lot to do.

And what gave them such confidence was the high school students on the field.

Whether it is Lihai University who has swept Qingxue now, or Qingxue who is trying to create a little trouble for Lihai University, they are all students they place high hopes on.

"This year's Davis Cup will not be able to catch up." Kurobe felt a little regretful.

Saito shrugged: "September is the first round of the Davis Cup, and the selection of the national team began in April. The first team participating in the U17 World Cup, the top six have received selection notices. But Echizen Longya, Tokugawa, and Duke were all disqualified because of their nationality, but Byodoin passed the first round of selection."

"Byodoin's injury is too serious." Kurobe shook his head, "This will affect his performance."

"It's not a problem to get a national team spot. It's just that the results of the Davis Cup are not as good as the Youth World Cup. The Davis Cup competition is much more cruel than the Youth World Cup where only one or two professional players participate." Zhai Fuji was very calm, "Even if you have high hopes for Yukimura, it's hard to change this fact."

"But isn't the situation getting better all the time? They are only freshmen now," Kurobe said.

Saito agrees: "You're right."

"Senior Nanjiro's place... Coach Mifune doesn't seem to have persuaded him yet." Kurobe sighed, "If he can become the coach of the coaching staff of the training camp, the limelight of this joint training camp will not be overwhelmed by the Basketball Association. Grab it."

"Haha, do you want senior Nanjiro to steal Rukawa Kaede's limelight? It's too difficult." Saito frowned and laughed.

The author has something to say:

This article will talk about the most basic background setting. The league part will end soon. The main content is the U17 youth training camp (because volleyball is a U20 game, so volleyball is not limited to high school students. In fact, the setting At this time, Hinata returned from studying abroad) and the subsequent world leagues, until the 2020 Tokyo Olympics... Ah, 2020 happens to be the Tokyo Olympics!Hurry up and write blindly before you start.

I don't know how to set the year of the current time point of this article.

Anyway, based on 19 years, it happens to be the Volleyball World Youth Championship, so the time point in the article is 18 years, which is the time when Hinata just came back to participate in the club assessment.

Because so, this calculation is just right. After all, Fuji’s birthday is February 2. If he is one year younger (school starts in April in Japan), he and Yukimura will both be fourteen at this time, so the age will be no problem. , the other birthdays after April are fifteen.Simple and rude (imaginary age plus one year old, ten 29 sixteen no difference ORZ).

Anyway, only the time point of volleyball is so finely set...it is too scientific, tennis and basketball are very unscientific and unrealistic, so you can set it casually (no).

And this Saturday, January 1th, the V will be opened, and it will be the third shift at about 11:11 noon.Hey, it's too miserable this week, I'm in a hurry...
