Lehigh High School Boys Tennis Club

In Maori's impression, more knowledge is very strong.

Before he actually played against Yuezhi, his impression of Yuezhi was only "the head of the tennis department who led Bingdi to the national quarterfinals".Considering that his junior minister took Li Haida to win the national championship in the first grade, and the Sitianbao Temple where he was located before transferring to another school was also a professional household for the top four in the national competition, his evaluation of the so-called "National Top Eight" tennis department minister Not very high.

Of course he knew that a strong player could not determine the outcome of the entire team, but, didn't the little minister directly lead Li Haida, who was only in the top eight in the country, to become the national champion?

Check out this comparison.

Of course, such an evaluation ends before he enters high school.

After entering high school, he tried to lead the team alone for the first time.

... Well, it can't be considered as leading the team alone. After all, although he entered the main election, he is indeed only a first-year student.He failed to "take away the position of minister".He didn't even think he would become a minister himself.He was not a minister for three years in his country, was he?

How can you skip training when you become a minister?

It is for such a reason, but when he is out of place in the main selection team, the keen Maori can still feel the hostility and jealousy of the seniors.

He thought, how did Yukimura suppress all the seniors at that time?

It seems quite difficult.

Then he met Ochi in the first round of the Kanto Tournament.

Was defeated 6-0.

Too tragic.

Never experienced failure.

Maori has always been a genius.It started with tennis practice.He Guoyi was not tall when he first entered the school. He looked thin and lively. Although he could play very beautiful games, it seemed that it was because of his appearance that the seniors treated him like a child.The atmosphere in Sitianbao Temple is very good, and he is also very favored. He has not suffered any grievances, and he has not been punished seriously even for escaping training.

Probably like Xiao Jin.

In fact, when Xiao Jin entered the school, coach Watanabe Ou felt a sense of trance.

There was a bastard brat who transferred to another school in the second grade, and the red-haired kid looked like this.

And when Mao Li saw Xiao Jin at U17, he also had a vague premonition that "you will become me in three years".

...if Xiao Jin can grow taller within a year like him.

What growing taller brings to gross profit is the rapid growth of strength.

He is stronger.

Even changes in his physical condition will not affect his adaptation to the game.He didn't practice much at first, and he often skipped training, as if he was destined to play a good game as long as he took the racket.

Then he lost to Ochi so tragically.

Since then, Yuezhi's impression in his heart has changed drastically.

Until he won the autumn individual championship, he felt that there was still a mountain standing in front of him.

The mountain of practical significance, and the mountain of consciousness level.

And Yuezhi also met his expectation.

After meeting U17, I defeated him again, took him to doubles, brought him to get acquainted with the seniors, brought him to know "His Royal Highness No. 1 Byodoin, the most terrifying big devil in the first army", and brought him to become the first army Top ten gatekeepers.

In the group stage, he took Dashi and won the doubles match almost one to two.

Then he lost so badly in the final.

Maori was a little lost in thought, and was awakened by the sound of a tennis ball hitting the ground.

what happened?

He stared intently at the arena.

Both Sengoku and Sanada have high levels of fitness and muscle.

Qianshi's tendons from boxing practice once affected his flexibility and muscle toughness, so that he experienced labor pains, but later during the World Cup (he was selected for the knockout list instead of Akutsu) after the trainer's adjustment and improvement The intensity of the game is tuned up.

Sanada has always played with a tough attack style, and it was only when he was selected for the training camp that he began to develop more flexible moves.The previous "Fenglin Volcano" combo moves were all open and close (including the soft-sounding "Feng" and "Lin", but they are actually the absolute high speed brought by power, and Willpower and concentration plus the tough defense brought about by the ubiquitous supplementary defense), even "Thunder" and "Yin" are no exception.

He mastered the double backspin in the World Cup, but not the triple backspin.Practicing kendo since he was a child has made him physically strong and flexible.But kendo also had too much influence on his tennis.What he has learned is the martial art of moving forward with no regrets. Practicing the roundabout is really against instinct.This is why Yukimura asked him to learn to control the rhythm of the tennis game first.Passing rigidity is easy to break, he has to learn to accept it, and then he can send and receive freely.

In theory, Qianshi and Sanada are one of the two most physically fit individuals in the selection team selected from the eight Kanto High School Leagues.

Maori wins in height, but his muscular strength is not as strong as these two men.

Similarly, Maori is much softer than these two, and his style of play is more varied.

Now, Qianshi and Sanada, the "Hulk Hulk" in the two theoretical teams, have been beaten miserably.

The two of them obviously haven't caught the balance between the two of them.

And the part that is an advantage against the Japanese players is weaker than the US team.

Tennis balls kept hitting the ground, raising dust (although it is an indoor court, after playing a few games, there will inevitably be dust).

If you swing the racket to catch the ball, the moment the tennis ball stops on the racket, you can see the wailing of the arm muscles of the person who catches the ball from a long distance.

So the lines of the arm printed on the big screen are beautiful, but also a bit cruel to look at, with blue veins and blood vessels gradually appearing on the skin.

Arms, shoulders and waist are used when unloading.

Gradually all the strength of the whole body has to be used.

But their opponents, especially Clive Miller, looked very calm and lifted their weight lightly.

And the little lamb he brought, the only junior high school student among the [-] players on both sides of this friendly match (the other one is of course Echizen Ryoma), seemed well-behaved but comfortable.

Although he is a junior high school student, the black man who looks not young has a pair of bright eyes, and he catches every loophole in the double play between Sanada and Sengoku.

Saito, who was on the sidelines, put down the documents in his hand.

"Not yet," he said.

Kurobe did not immediately refute his words, but recorded something on the paper: "Judging from the cooperation in this game, Sanada and Qianshi can cooperate."

"But you have to let them live together." Saito disagreed, "With Sanada's strength, he can enter the top 10 of the first army."

"Isn't it necessary to play doubles in the top 10 of the army? Tanejima will complain about you."

"But you can't deny that Sanada is more suitable for singles." Saito said, "In a simple and crude comparison, he is a player of the type of Peace and Byodoin, a duke, or an oni."

"It's okay to let the ghost teach him." Kurobe said.

Saito rolled his eyes: "That's what happened at the beginning of the training camp. Don't people need to go to college? You call him and come back as a teaching assistant?"

"He didn't even participate in the selection of the national team. I know he would prefer to be an assistant coach in the training camp than to participate in the national team." Kurobe thought he was too good, how could he come up with such a good idea, "and Let the ghosts come and stimulate Tokugawa."

"Tokugawa doesn't need stimulation anymore." Saito sighed.

They all fell silent for a while, deciding not to talk about Tokugawa.

Right now this doubles match is about to lose.

The score has reached 5-2. Even if they struggle for a few rounds, there is no chance of a comeback.

Such a score will not lower the coaching staff's evaluation of Qianshi and Sanada.They played very well, but they really didn't achieve the effect of 1+1>2, and the effect of =2 was not achieved.

"It's up to Mori now," Saito said, "If Mori hasn't been stimulated by now—"

"That shows that the future leader we were optimistic about last year is still not ready." Kurobe said.

Saito clicked his tongue three times: "It's not that I'm underwhelmed, it's simply useless."

How could you think that Maori is a kind-hearted person?They have seen the proud ones like Mao Li with their necks stretched out, their chins raised high, and they all look defiant.

It was the same with Oni, Byodoin, Tokugawa, Atobe, Echizen last year, and Yukimura, whom Kurobe liked very much.

And what about Maori?When Mao Li started the training camp last year, he was the absolute top among freshmen in high school, the kind that didn't even have a competitor.When he entered the camp, Mao Li also had a stern face and was very rude to anyone who provoked him.

They didn't expect that Maori's coldness was only for strangers.After getting acquainted with Yuezhi, he is like a lying big cat with no temper towards his seniors, he can joke and tease wantonly without getting angry.

Not to mention that such a genius as Mao Li never thought of being a leader.

Is it because Yuezhi took him with him from the beginning, and he got used to being a junior?

Or is it because Lihai University's ministerial position is too stable, even during the few months when Yukimura went abroad for medical treatment, the position would rather be vacant than an acting minister?

They heard that Yukimura, the minister in Lihai Daikoku middle school, missed the entire Kanto competition due to surgery, but he hadn't thought about this issue when he was still a minister.

Now they found that the people who came out of a group like Lihai University were more or less beyond their expectations.

The good, the bad, that's all.

"The last time," Saito said, "we gave him so many hints, he must have understood what we want. But in fact our expectations are not necessarily what he is willing to do. So this is the last time."

The last time the coaching staff took the initiative to put the opportunity in front of Maori.

If you can't catch it, then the coaching staff will give up.

But that doesn't mean Maori has no chance.

The chance to become No.1 is equal, everyone can challenge.

When they were talking, the doubles on the court had come to an end.

Sanada and Qianshi were suppressed by their opponents from the beginning to the end.

What they do best happens to be what their opponents do best.And their weak opponents are not weak either.

This is the gap in experience and time, the gap in their own technical level, and even the gap between races.

No excuses, no excuses for failure.

Sanada looked very bad when he walked off the stage.

He glanced at Yukimura and Nioh who were sitting together, and his expression became even worse.

Both Yukimura and Nioh knew what he was thinking, and knew that Sanada didn't need comfort at this time.The most important thing they should do at this time is to leave Sanada alone, calm down and do a game replay.

Besides, another teammate of theirs is about to play.

"Senior, come on." King Ni made a cheering gesture.

Yukimura just smiled.

Maori let out a breath, still arching his back as he stood up.But as he slowly stood up straight, a sharp temperament overflowed all of a sudden.

"Senior is rarely so serious." Yukimura said.

King Ren couldn't tell.He doesn't have much to do with Maori.

and……

"During the second year of junior high school, didn't senior Maori take the Sitianbao Temple very seriously?" he asked.

Yukimura shook his head: "That's Kenzuzu is too weak."

King Ni: "...Puff."

Ninzu, who heard it next to him, was very depressed: "I heard it. You are talking bad about my brother."

"It's not a bad word, it's the truth." Yukimura said softly.

I couldn't resist, feeling my chest was tight.

It's not his turn to play today, and he has no chance to vent his anger.

The US team's singles number one is Rocky Melody.

"Loki, the word evil." Yukimura said suddenly.

Nioh couldn't remember whether this "evil god" played in the US team game last year.Probably not, his memory is very good.But being able to be placed in the singles first position by the US team...

Nioh glanced at the (high school senior) marked behind Rocky's name on the electronic screen: "Maybe it's a player who has made great progress in the past few months?"

If the Echizen brothers who had already walked home from the stadium were asked to answer, they would give a confirmed answer.

Last year, Echizen Ryoma played against Rocky once before entering the US team and defeated Rocky.

Although he was still selected for the national team, but lost to a first-year junior high school player who looked like a short man at first glance, Rocky was greatly shocked in his heart.He felt very ashamed, and this shame also turned into a driving force for growth.

Theoretically, the year from the second to the third year of high school is a year of mature technology.Rocky grasped this critical point, broke through himself, and also broke through the limit that the coaching staff of the US team thought he was capable of.

This is the reason why he is now the singles number one.

This kind of arrogance of breaking the boat and the toughness of upward impact are the necessities of a leader.

And what about Maori?

Of course, Maori is not short of these.

For the first time in his life, he lost a game in the first round of the Kanto Tournament without scoring a single point.Only three months after that, he won the autumn individual championship.

Mori Kosaburo's talent is beyond doubt.

And his character should not be questioned.

The reason why the coaching staff is so optimistic about him is because he has experienced the process of being knocked down to the bottom of the valley and then climbed to the top of the mountain.

Is it up to me to win or lose?

Maori looked up at the score on the electronic screen.

Two to two draws.

It's stressful.

... also really interesting.

Maori felt the long-lost pressure.

He rarely felt that pressure when he was around his teammates.Li Haida's teammates are all younger than him, but they are all reliable.Not to mention the senior Yuezhi whom he recognized, he was the guide who has been guiding him forward.

When was the last time he had such a desperate fight?

Thinking about it, it was the time when I lost the Kanto Tournament, was criticized by all the seniors, and was shocked when I saw Yukimura recovering before giving up.

He thought, even Yukimura can do it, as a senior, why can't he?

Yes, it's the same now, isn't it?

Yukimura won such a beautiful game.

Yukimura has shown his ambition since he came back.

Yukimura is so strong and so dazzling.

...Even so, why couldn't he?

Maori gripped the racket tightly.

In the months since the World Cup, his strength has grown.His height growth rate has slowed down a lot, and it has almost stopped at the level of 193cm today.After staying in the world of 1.9 meters for almost a year, he has gradually grown muscles in line with this height.When he formed a doubles with Yuezhi last year, Yuezhi liked to feed him very much.It's not enough to say you are this tall and this weight.

Maori thought that you are not much better.But Yuezhi was a little over thirty centimeters taller than him, and weighed twenty kilograms heavier than him.In terms of height to weight ratio, he is a little healthier than him.

...just a little bit.

I was talked about a lot, Maori also ate more, and did core training and muscle-building training under the guidance.

Now his weight has risen to 90 kg.

When holding the racket, the forearm also has a beautiful muscle line.

The muscle growth also supported his joints.He could have voluntarily dislocated to play incredible tennis, and he can still do so with less injury potential.His physique itself is quite special, dislocation does not cause much damage to him, and now he can gradually use this move as a regular method in the game-compared with Tokugawa's black hole, his dislocation damage is even smaller.It's perfectly fine to use it once or twice a game.

Likewise, his stamina has also increased.

Advantages and disadvantages.

His own speed, the speed of moving left and right is quite flexible, but it is a bit slow in front and back.This is unavoidable. Tall people have bigger strides, but less flexibility.

Yue Zhi found a way to overcome this point and has been teaching him.He has been practicing his steps for half a year.This basic skill cannot be accomplished overnight, so little progress has been made.

In general, the gross profit after the World Cup is very different from the current gross profit.

The coaching staff discovered this difference from the physical test.

It's a pity that Maori didn't show this difference in the few games of this training camp.

The advantage over other people's gross profit is too obvious, and it is easy to win the game.

But every time he faced Kamiyukimura, Mori would be inexplicably at a disadvantage.

From a technical theoretical analysis, this should not be the case.

What about the opponent?

Rocky Melody is not as tall as Maori in terms of body alone, but his muscular outline is more beautiful.

In terms of physical fitness alone, the two are almost the same.

This is the only matchup of the entire Japanese team that looks evenly matched (only in terms of size).

The game quickly blew up to start.

The serve game belongs to the Maori.

Maori was a little surprised, thinking that he would probably be lucky today.

He is in a good mood today.It's funny how the stress puts him in a better mood.

How to serve?

Maori thought of the principle of Mach's serve that Ochi had explained to him.

If he wants to hit it, he must not hit the Mach serve.But the technical characteristics are very similar.He does not have the superior height advantage of Yuezhi, but he also has his own characteristics-his strength is stronger and his technique is more delicate.

Mao Li has long mastered the combination of rigidity and softness and the ability to retract freely.

He squeezed the tennis ball, and it naturally curved when he tossed it up.The height is just right too.

And his waist is also very soft, and he can bend back to an exaggerated angle.

Use strength instead of height difference.

"boom"!

Tennis disappeared in an instant.

When Rocky Melody froze for a moment, the tennis ball had already dropped to the ground.

There was a loud sound, which aroused a large amount of white smoke.

This is--

"Mach serve?" Liu said, and then refuted his own statement. "No, it's not a Mach serve. The effect is a bit similar, but the method of hitting the ball is completely different."

"Senior Mori is pretty good." Marui didn't want to listen to this kind of technical analysis, since he couldn't type it anyway.He just applauded the Maori seniors as the younger generation's support for the seniors.

Liu nodded, took out his notebook and began to write.

Four serve in a row.

Straight game first inning.

This opening surprised both parties.

The US team was naturally surprised by the amazing serve of the opponent.But they knew that Melody was the type of late striker, so they weren't worried.What about the Japanese team?But he was surprised by the sharpness shown by Maori.

Usually Maori's aura is steady and gentle when he plays.

Although they have not seen Maori play a few times.

"Senior Mori is getting serious." Yukimura said again.

I can't help but feel that Moori's serving posture is a bit like Atobe's Tannhauser.But Mao Li, whose whole body was lowered down, didn't seem to feel any burden on this action, so much so that he mentally complained that the young master of the Jibu was so tired every time he hit Tannhauser.

Atobe felt a chill in the VIP viewing area and almost sneezed.

The second game was Melody's serve.

His temper is a bit fiery, but Melody's playing style is steady.

Steady and murderous, the seemingly stable ball will suddenly accelerate after crossing the net.

Molly closed her eyes abruptly.

Is this looking down on me? !

Melody's anger spewed out, only to find that Maori, who had closed his eyes, appeared at the landing point of the tennis ball at an unimaginable speed, and swung the racket.

He seemed to hear Maori snoring.

But in reality, Maori's speed and strength are so fast and decisive, there is no need for thinking time, nor is it necessary to make tactical arrangements.

"Sleeping Mori Kosaburo".

After the first round, Maori knew that this was the most suitable opponent for him.

The best opponent for his slumbering state.

There is no mental attack, straight forward, head-to-head, even if he gives up all the layout and rhythm adjustments that need to be thought about, the opponent will not disrupt the established pace.

His sleepy reflexes could have kept up with that speed.

This is the opponent I like, Maori thought.

Yukimura's extreme technical flow and spiritual system are his most hated opponents.

Maori fell asleep happily.

The author has something to say:

The protagonist of today's chapter is Maori seniors.The best thing about writing group portraits is that you can change the perspective from chapter to chapter, and it doesn’t matter if the writing is scattered (no).

Next time Su Sanada (sorry Deputy Minister).

It's impossible to win every game. I want to add more suspense to the U17 No.1 battle (Maori: No, you didn't, I'm so wronged).And the evaluation of him in Maori comics is really too high, what coach Mifune said about the future of Japanese tennis (probably means that).

somewhat understandable.First of all, there are very few people who can grow so tall and have such a strong body or grow within three years.This is very European and American figure.

And recently, I have been sprinting wildly in the last two hours of the night, and I am stuck in ORZ at the speed of life and death before twelve o'clock.

The main reason is that I was dizzy when I made up lessons at home during the holidays. This is really good for light sugar.Although I fell into the pit because our song Ayunga is so beautiful and sang so well, but I also know that it is too difficult for these two people to market for ten years of friendship and become a pure fan, so I fell in love... hey , In vain, when all the wives on the home page fell into the pit, I still dismissed it. (However, during the period when the voice of reasoning entered the hearts of the people, there were indeed flaws in the singing of these two people. Our songs have improved a lot.)
