[Net King] The Crown of Tennis

Chapter 12 County Competition

"Director Sakaki?" Atobe, the Head of the Tennis Division of Heidei, sat on the main seat, and gave the consultant Sakaki Taro a questioning look.

"Atobe, you should know about the Kanto strong team Lihai University." Sakaki sat upright and asked the silver-haired boy who was stroking the mole at the corner of his eye.

"Ah, I heard that the first-year minister, it is said that four other first-year students have entered the ranks of the quasi-selection." Atobe put his left hand on his face, "Li Hai is really generous."

"Atobe, Lihai's main singles players last year were all first and second graders. I want to remind you this way."

"I see, supervisor." Atobe became serious, this year's Lihai might be stronger than ever.

As for Bingdi, those seniors were immersed in the so-called honor of breaking into the top eight of the national competition last year, and they were complacent. After they were all overthrown by him, they almost retreated with no shame.In the huge Ice Emperor Tennis Club, there are only three third-year students who are still training, how ridiculous!

Atobe flipped through the staff training materials.In any case, he has to build a team for himself before the regional qualifiers. He is confident that he can make the Ice Emperor Tennis Club a new look and become a new generation of national powerhouses, just like what he did for the Ice Emperor Academy!

In the regional qualifiers, Lihai delivered a good record and became the seed team of the county competition.

After the qualifiers, the Tennis Department held a quasi-selection meeting as usual.

Yukimura sat at the main seat, tapped the table with his left hand, thoughtful.

"Although the previous games were all 6-0, some problems were still exposed." Fukuyama, who was originally responsible for the management of the department's internal affairs, broke the silence first, "Doubles."

"Ah, except for the two doubles players who have been selected for several years." Matsumoto glanced at Marui and Kuwahara who were sitting obediently. "I don't think we have much experience in doubles before."

"Heh, I don't want Li Hai to be able to win only in singles." Yukimura looked around at the 9 candidates and smiled dangerously. "3-2 is too ugly."

Seeing Yukimura's gaze turned to him, Mori quickly shrugged off. "Minister, I can only play singles."

"In the previous doubles training, Takeda and Yanagi, Matsumoto and Yanagi actually cooperated very well..." Fujiwara took care of his somewhat messy purple hair, and gave Fukuyama a wink, "Fukuyama and Sanada-kun are also good, aren't they?" Kei?" Fukuyama rolled his eyes at Fujiwara.

"I will step up training and cooperation with Senior Fukuyama." Sanada, who is used to wearing a hat recently, is serious.

Yukimura looked at Liu, who was writing notes without saying a word.

[It's okay for me to doubles if need be. ] Liu persuaded himself so. [With my current strength, I can't play singles. ]

Yukimura admitted that he didn't think well and didn't pay much attention to doubles. In fact, all the main candidates don't seem to pay much attention to doubles, especially the two decision-makers.Liu had doubles experience before, so it would be best if he could cooperate with his seniors, but——he seemed reluctant.

The meeting ended dully.When Liu Qing finished counting the equipment and returned to the social office, he found that Yukimura was still there.

"Minister Yukimura?"

"Yu," Yukimura stood up and walked to Liu, "Does Liu want to play alone?"

[It's been said through my mind again. ] Liu was caught off guard by Yukimura's straightforwardness.

"Not..." Liu struggled to grasp his words, "I just want to try the possibility of data tennis in singles, that's all."

"That's what I want."

The office was very quiet, and Liu could clearly hear his own heartbeat.

"Yu's statistical tennis is very good, based on your good basic ability." Yukimura said each word, "It's just that a breakthrough is needed."

"What kind of breakthrough?" Liu took out his notebook and looked directly at Yukimura.

Yukimura didn't want to say any more, just like his attitude towards Sanada, he didn't want to dictate other people's tennis philosophy.Everyone has their own understanding, and what others say is not necessarily correct.Take tennis as an example, only by thinking, overcoming, and refining the tennis style is the most suitable for you.

[only. ] Yukimura looked at Liu who was waiting quietly with his eyes open.

"Data, that is, information, Liu." He heard himself say this.

"Information?" Liu seemed to understand.

[Ah, what am I doing. ] Yukimura flicked his hair as if giving up, and turned around. "Anyway, I'd like to trouble Liu to take care of doubles before practicing more regular doubles, but I will give Liu a chance to play singles."

"Okay, and—" Liu put away the notebook and smiled at Yukimura, "Thank you for your guidance, Seichi."

"..."

In June, before the start of the Kanagawa County Tournament, the Tennis Department of Lihai High School Affiliated High School held another quasi-selection meeting.

"Then, let me ask Fukuyama-senpai to explain the situation of the opposing team." Yukimura clapped his hands, motioning for everyone to be quiet.

"Because it is a seeded team, we directly advance to Lihai in the first round. According to the results of the lottery, our opponents should be Chuannan Middle School, Yokota Middle School, Yokohama Sanzhong Middle School, Aihara Yizhong Middle School and Kamakura Middle School, but it is said that Shirocheng Shonan Middle School Tennis There are some major changes in the main election of the department, it seems that there is a main election for the first grade, and the specifics will not be confirmed until the order book is obtained. Above."

"Okay, let's discuss the playing list." Yukimura pulled up the collar of his jacket, "I'm the singles one, do you have any objections?"

Everyone shook their heads desperately.

"Doubles two, Marui and Jack, this time I'm going to let you play in the county competition, so you have to play beautifully." All the members looked at the two candidates.

"Yes Yes Yes……"

"As for the other pair of doubles and singles—" Yukimura turned sideways and took out the lottery box from under the table.

"I will draw the doubles, from the four pairs of Matsumoto and Yanagi, Takeda and Yanagi, Matsumoto and Takeda, Fukuyama and Sanada, and the rest will draw singles. Who has any objection?"

Everyone shook their heads desperately.

"Then let's begin."

The county contest started in the second week, and ten candidates from Lihai Zhunzhen arrived on time.The atmosphere in the entire tennis park was very enthusiastic, and there were shouts and applause from time to time, but these did not affect everyone in Lihai. Except for Fujiwara and other members who had conquered the national competition, the freshmen who were selected had also participated in official competitions.

"Our opponent in the second round is Josei Shonan." Liu, who went to confirm the promotion team of the competition, came back. "They defeated Kamakura, 3-2. Chengcheng Shonan won the doubles two, singles three, and singles two. The singles three and singles two are the new main selection games."

"New main election?"

"Takahisa Kajimoto and Reiji Kajimoto. Takahisa Kajimoto is good at corner kicks and serving; Reiji Kajimoto—" Yanagi paused, "It is said that they have the habit of playing chase balls."

"So what?" Fujiwara raised his eyebrows, "I know a lot about this."

"Anyway, pay attention." Fukuyama patted Fujiwara on the shoulder.

"Next is the match between Lihai University Affiliated Middle School and Chengcheng Shonan Middle School. All the members step forward."

Ueno, the minister of Josei Shonan, frowned and looked at the slender boy wearing a team uniform. "Minister of the first grade, has Li Haida fallen to this point?"

Yukimura smiled and said nothing, and the players on the field didn't speak, but they just looked at Ueno with something wrong.

After the pre-match etiquette, Yukimura walked to the coach's bench.

Doubles two are Bunta Marui and Jack Kuwahara.

"You guys try to lose a game?" Yukimura "said".

[gamesetandmatch,wonbyrikkaidai6-0]

Doubles one is Kei Fukuyama and Genichiro Sanada.Yukimura declined to comment.

[gamesetandmatch,wonbyrikkaidai6-0]

The third singles is Liu Lianer, and the opposite is Minister Ueno.

"..."

"Don't worry, Yukimura." Liu understood what Yukimura meant.

The time for this match was not short, but Liu borrowed a little bit from Yukimura's practice match against Nioh.

[gamesetandmatch,wonbyrikkaidai6-0]

In the second singles match, Kosaburo Mori played against Takahisa Kajimoto.

"Everyone played beautifully, Maori-senpai."

"Hi, hi." Maori scratched his head, and entered the court with a tennis racket under his right arm.

[gamesetandmatch,wonbyrikkaidai6-0]

In singles, Seiichi Yukimura played against Reiji Kamishiro.

Yukimura gathered his coat and picked up the light blue racket leaning to one side.

[Then, let's end the game beautifully. ]

Yukimura didn't give the opponent a chance to score.

[gamesetandmatch,wonbyrikkaidai6-0]

Fukuyama regretted not suggesting Matsumoto and Takeda to play: "The county competition is indeed a bit dull, and Zuoxian and I should give up places."

"It's all been reported, so let's type it in this order."

In the final, the High School Affiliated to Lihai University and the old rival Xiangyuan No. [-] Middle School in the county competition met again.They also didn't give the opponent a round.

The High School Affiliated to Lihai University easily won the Kanagawa County Championship.

"Huh, this year's Lihai University is really unstoppable." Inoue, a monthly tennis reporter who went to pay attention to the competition in Kanagawa Prefecture, commented.Similarly, the news that Li Hai won the championship easily also appeared in various tennis magazines.

Ice Emperor Tennis Club Club is elected office.

Before the regional qualifiers, Bingdi also decided 7 main candidates.They are:

Director / Keigo Atobe (first grade)

Main election / Ninja Yuuji (first grade)

Main election / Mukohito (first grade)

Main Selection/Shishido Ryo (first grade)

Main Selection / Ue Sugihara ([-]nd grade)

Main election / Hideya Nagabayashi (third grade)

Main Selection / Teru Suzuki ([-]nd grade)

The Atobu set up a points round-robin competition for more than a hundred members, and the above 7 people were all selected from among all the members, so they were designated as the main selection.At the same time, Director Sakaki also established a rule: as long as the loser in the competition is directly kicked out from the main selection ranks, there will be no mercy.Therefore, Ice Emperor's performance in the capital competition is remarkable.The major magazines that have been paying attention to the Ice Emperor under the leadership of the first year have also published this news.

At this time, Director Sakaki and the seven candidates were watching the game video of Lihai University High School in the county competition.

After the broadcast ended, everyone fell into silence.

"How, do you realize the gap?" Director Sakaki looked at the silent candidates. He did not regret sacrificing the third grade to support Atobe. Li Hai's record sometimes proved that "the strong are respected" is suitable for Hyodi The development path is under the leadership of the "Emperor" Atobu.Even if the performance is not good this year due to personnel instability, what about next year?The year after next?It always pays off.

"So strong..."

Renzu pushed his glasses: "Li Hai's doubles and ones don't seem to have a tacit understanding."

"Li Hai's doubles players from last year have graduated, and this year's freshmen are almost all singles. The strength in singles is enough to make up for the lack of cooperation, but it is a blind spot. Lihai will not let the opponent play in the Kanto competition."

"But Atobe, we don't have anyone who has formed a perfect understanding in doubles." Shishido said to the point.

Atobe's hands stiffened for a moment, and he looked at Xiang Hi and Shishido: "Then you two, who are preselected for doubles, should double the training."

Xiang Ri, who had twice the amount of training on his back, yelled: "It's none of my business!" After the protest was invalid, he looked at Shishido angrily.

"..."

The author has something to say:

This chapter seems to be relatively fluent, and the county competition really has nothing to write about.
