[Net King] The Crown of Tennis

"According to the results of yesterday's lottery, 99.2% of the opponents we will meet in the second round will be Kyushu's strong school Lions, and there is a 73.1% chance of meeting the central region's winner Nagoya Xingde in the quarter-finals, and 98.5% in the semi-finals There will be a 92% probability of competing with last year's national champion Muzhito in the final against Shitenhoji, a frequent visitor to the national competition in the Kansai region. And there is an 87.2% chance that the quasi-winner in Kanto will be challenged by Muzhito in the semifinals. Get off the horse. Above." Yukimura Liu Chao nodded.

"The situation is serious. Our side is full of strong teams. Who drew this lottery?" Maori sighed, and found that everyone looked at him in the wrong way.

"I went to smoke, why?" Yukimura, who was wearing a coat, looked calm.

"...The draw is really good. It can fully demonstrate our Lihai's true strength to the whole country, right, Takeda-senpai. Haha."

"Makito, last year's third-year minister, Byodoin Phoenix, is very strong, and he brought up Muzhito's two years of glory." Fujiwara became serious, "But I think that Muzhito's main force last year were all third-years, and they are on the list There is only one sophomore in the school. Because of the promotion, the overall strength this year should be greatly weakened."

"There must be some background, after all, it was a national championship for two years." Matsumoto frowned.

"Yukimura, how do you plan to arrange the order of competition." Liu looked at his notebook, "The cooperation between Matsumoto-senpai and Takeda-senpai is not close to completion, and the doubles will be an important breakthrough for other schools."

"Let's try playing first." Takeda winked at Matsumoto. "Doubles two."

"However, in this year's Lion Music, there are two famous freshmen who form a doubles, and they have the title of 'Double Heroes of Kyushu'. Tachibana Tachihira with long golden hair and the name of 'Lion', and Chitose Chisato with super observation ability and predictive ability .” Liu looked at Takeda, “Or it’s me and Takeda-senpai teaming up.”

"No, Mr. Liu, you are going to play three in singles." Fujiwara tapped his pen on the table, motioning everyone to be quiet, "The first round will be played five times, so we'd better take this opportunity to let the three in the first round to prove themselves To prepare for next year's singles strength. For this purpose, Liu-kun is the third singles, Sanada-kun is the second singles, Yukimura is the first singles, and Saburo is the substitute. Above."

"The doubles?"

"Doubles [-] Takeda Matsumoto, doubles [-] me and Zuo Xian..." Seeing the surprised expressions of the juniors, Fukuyama coughed, "What? Zuo Xian and I played doubles in the first grade."

"Speaking of which, Sehara, the director of Lion Music, is also difficult to deal with. His performance in the national competition last year was very impressive. Except for the semi-finals against Muzhifu, he had no defeats. He already has the strength of the national level. The other singles also appeared in the county competition last year, and they have rich experience."

"So play better, let's take down the weight, Shishi Lezhong is not easy to deal with." Fukuyama emphasized to Sanada in particular.

"I see."

After the meeting, Yukimura stayed alone in the club office. He looked at the large and small trophies, medals accumulated in the display cabinet for decades, and the winning group photos on the walls that became clearer from black and white.Especially in recent years-the 14th consecutive hegemony in Kanto, the ups and downs in the 14 National Competition, the [-] years of struggle, and the hard work of the [-] seniors in junior high school.Even if they take different paths in life and work hard in different workplaces in the future, when they think back to junior high school, they must be unanimously proud.

If the victory on the field is a unique tribute to Yukimura and his tennis, then the national domination is the highest honor for the entire Lihai High School Tennis Club—the "coronation" of the king!

Lihai didn't make much waves when it started the Kanto championship. It is not uncommon for the eight regions in Japan to win consecutive championships for many years. Even Lihai had three consecutive championships in the Kanto region before.

It wasn't until the sixth year that Minister Tateishi led the main election to win the national championship. Since then, the accumulated background of the Tennis Club of Lihai University Affiliated High School seems to have been fully inspired-except for the hardships of the seventh year. Five championships; the next minister, Nakajima, in addition to keeping the Kanto winning streak, reached the national finals for two consecutive years; afterward, Fujiwara also continued this momentum, and almost won the national finals in five consecutive games.So far, Li Haida has maintained a 13-year Kanto consecutive hegemony.This time span cannot be achieved by other schools.

Yukimura thinks that he is not inferior to Shen Yong. He will not only extend the Kanto record, but also strive for another goal that has not been achieved by any middle school so far-the three consecutive championships in the country.

In the Club Office of the Makino Fuji Tennis Club, a group of candidates are discussing before the national competition.

Minister Saito looked at the pages of the schedule with a headache. As last year's national No.1, they were No. [-], and this year's opponents in the halftime of Makino Teng were not very threatening, including the Kanto Ice Emperor who was more than half of the annuals. college.However, Mu Zhiteng is aiming at the three consecutive tyrants.

"This year's Lihai is coming fiercely." Deputy Minister Ji Ping said with a straight face. "From the first round of the qualifiers to the final of the Kanto Tournament, the score was 6-0 in all matches."

"That's because those schools in Kanto are too weak." Aso, who was playing the main single, curled his lips.

"You can't underestimate the enemy." Coach Oda glanced at Aso, who was lazily leaning on the back of the chair, "When you can't even enter the main election, Li Hai's second minister of the country can already compete with Byodoin." [Although it is 6-1. ]

"cut."

"That's right. Li Hai, who was on par with us last year, should be stronger this year, right? After all, he's still in the team for singles..."

The atmosphere gradually became gloomy.

Oda sighed softly.This year's Makino Fuji has undergone a major reshuffle. Among the eight finalists last year, seven of them were third-year students.Therefore, after the start of school, selection, and re-selection of the main candidates, the list listed is all new faces to the outside world.As a result, bad-mouthings about Makino Fuji's defending title this year have spread, and they are heavily weighted on last year's only main election, the current minister Saito.

In the Kansai competition in July, Makino Fuji played hard.In the semi-finals, he was almost torn off by Shitenbaoji. Fortunately, Saito, who was singles one, turned the tide and kept the first place in the Kansai competition.Even so, there are still some rumors, like poisonous snakes in the dark, cursing the vines of shepherds, eagerly expecting their failure.

Saito looked at the national award certificate facing the wall and the pennant leaning aside.He remembered that when the seniors retreated, starting with the head of the Byodoin Institute, all the seniors walked towards him in turn and patted him hard on the shoulder.No. [-] in the country, that is the crown of middle school tennis, and now it is on his head, so heavy that he can hardly bear it.But he couldn't resist, so, for the sake of the seniors, for the sake of Muzhi Vine's three consecutive victories...

"Scared?" Saito on the main seat adjusted his mentality, frowning and looking at the main candidates present with their heads down.

"...not afraid."

"Snapped."

Saito stood up suddenly, and slapped his hands on the table heavily: "The brat who was defeated before the battle quits the main election as soon as possible!"

"We are Mu Zhiteng! Mu Zhiteng dares to win, and he can win! You think about losing before you fight?"

"It's not like that." Imai, who played doubles, denied loudly.

"Then win for me!" Saito glared fiercely at the members present, "The overlord of the country——Muzhi Fuji, the only thing worthy of us is victory!"

"Yes!"

At the same time, the atmosphere in the club office of the Ice Emperor Tennis Club was also extremely tense.

The video of the match between Makino Fuji and Shitenpoji in this year's Kansai Competition is played on the projection.

"Speaking of which, there are really a lot of first-year wizards this year." Renzu pushed his flat glasses.

Originally, the country has been at a disadvantage in terms of physical fitness all his life, coupled with internal qualifications, relationships, school admission time, etc., the possibility of being selected in the first grade is very slim.

Leaving aside the more or less seniority issues that exist in every school, even if it advertises that "strength is paramount", as long as some manipulations are made in the arrangement of the selection competition, it is enough to make the freshmen with good qualifications kill each other, and the final winner if the strength is inferior On the previous point, he could only be stopped by the seniors in the same group as the main candidate.Even if you are really selected, it is reasonable to let you sit on the bench as a substitute.

As for the position of minister, the former minister was a bit thick-skinned. Even if the newcomer overthrows him, no one can say anything if he doesn't give up his position.After all, the work of the minister is not only linked to strength.

So being able to appear as a first-year student on the main list is enough to prove the mind of the school's tennis department.And the tennis department, which can make a year-round minister-either start to rise; or continue to dominate.As a minister who has been in office since the first grade, leadership and strength are indispensable.And this is a very important characteristic that can make a team unite, work hard, and make progress.

This is why many people pay special attention to the tennis clubs of Lihai University and Ice Emperor.

Atobe, who has already released his "dominant" rhetoric, doesn't care about those who stare at him.At this time, he was observing the one-year election of Shitianbao Temple, Shiraishi Kuranosuke.

"Is it called the 'Holy Book of Tennis'? It is true that every ball is played perfectly."

"...Atobe, you are paying attention to the wrong person. Our opponent is that Makino Fuji, right?" Today Shishido still unconsciously demolishes Atobe's station.

Atobe responded to Shishido. "Ah, that's why I'm a minister and you're a little guy."

"..."

"What a powerful straight shot!" Xiang Ri looked at Aso's forehand.

"Mu Zhiteng's style of football has always been like this, arrogant and domineering, which is largely influenced by the Phoenix of the former Minister Byodoin." The three-year growth forest on the side explained to everyone, "Byodoin is a very respected 'victory first'. He has a rough style of play and a strong leadership ability. He brought out his own team when he was in the second year of junior high school. This is also the reason why Makino Fuji can win as a team."

"Even if it wasn't last year's main pick, it still looks strong, Makino Teng." Shangshan looked at the doubles performance in the video.

"As you can see, Ice Emperor has a difficult and dangerous road ahead." Director Sakaki said, "So, let's go! Give all your efforts."

"Yes!"

The author has something to say:

Makino Fuji and Lihai have similarities and differences.The goal of Lihai's struggle is not as simple as the hot-blooded teenagers striving for No. 1. Maybe the members think so, but the minister definitely doesn't.

In addition, when writing that Yukimura is not inferior to Shen Yong... I feel a little subtle. hhhhh
