[Net King] The Crown of Tennis

In the meeting room temporarily.

Yukimura, who was in charge, asked, "Do you have any opinions on the order of tomorrow's battle?"

"Judging from the data collected this year, Makinoto is also relatively weak in doubles, with a current defeat rate of 33.9%, and strong in singles, with a defeat rate of 3.7%. In addition, the possibility of Minister Makino Saito's final being in the third place in singles is 79.2% , with a 17.8% chance of being in Singles One."

"I remember Saito, Makinoto's minister, once lost to Fukuyama-senpai, it seems [6-2]?"

"Saito's strength was comparable to mine at that time, but he was caught in the trap." Fukuyama turned his face away, and his eyes skipped over Sanada on the opposite left. "It's not so easy to win him."

Sanada stared fixedly at Yukimura, Yukimura felt his gaze, but did not respond.

"Does Senior Fukuyama want to fight him again?"

"I'm free." Fukuyama shrugged.

"Then, in the final, I plan to play in doubles." Before Yukimura finished speaking, everyone looked at him.

"Yukimura," Fujiwara frowned.

"I understand, Fujiwara-senpai." Yukimura didn't wait for Fujiwara to say it, "I think that scene in Lion Music is enough."

"But Minister Yukimura, the national final is not a child's play." Matsumoto couldn't agree.

"I know, I made this arrangement because I believe in everyone, and—" Yukimura stood up and looked at the seniors on the left, "I hope that the victory of this national competition final will be dominated by the seniors. "

"..." Matsumoto pursed his lips.Takeda lowered his head.

"So based on this idea, Sanada and I will play two doubles, Takeda-senpai and Matsumoto-senpai will play doubles one, Fujiwara-senpai will play three singles, Fukuyama-senpai will play two singles, Mori-senpai will play singles one, and Yanagi will be the substitute. How?" Yukimura looked around.

"I will win!" Fujiwara promised Yukimura seriously.

Matsumoto and Takeda looked at each other. "We'll have Fujiwara finish the match in singles three."

The main stadium of Osaka Tennis Park on the final day of the junior high school national competition was full of seats.Last year's champions and runners-up met again in the finals. In addition to the gimmick of Makino Fuji's defending title and the three-game winning streak, many people are looking forward to this duel.

"Next is the match between Muzhiteng Middle School and Lihai University Affiliated High School."

"The two sides lined up and stepped forward."

"The national championship belongs to Rikkai University." Yukimura, wearing a coat, declared war on Saito.

Saito responded lightly: "Makito can only win."

"The next doubles match will be played. Seiichi Yukimura and Genichiro Sanada from the High School Affiliated to Likai University VS Yohito Kanai and Michi Miura from Makino Fuji Middle School."

Saito frowned severely. [Mistake. ] In order to increase the odds of winning the doubles, he specially moved Kanai and Miura to the second doubles. He did not expect that the Lihai Conference would let these two play the first match.

"Tsk."

At this time, many spectators on the sidelines were also shocked. They more or less understood the abilities of the two freshmen Li Haida.

"Atobe, that Yukimura who has been occupying the first place in singles has actually played second in doubles." Xiang Ri was quite surprised. "Can Yukimura-kun play doubles?"

"Well, for Yukimura-kun, one-on-two is probably not a big problem, right?" Shinobu pushed Hiko's eyes, "Of course, when you take off your coat."

"Indeed, it's a pity that I didn't get to watch that game live."

"There is already a video, and I will analyze it slowly when I go back this time." Atobe motioned everyone to be quiet, "The game is about to start."

"Sanada."

"Ah, Yukimura."

"The game starts, Lihai starts first."

"You go first, Sanada."

Sanada went to the baseline to serve.

Snapped.

[15:0]

"So fast!" Kanai and Miura looked at each other and smiled wryly.

It is really difficult to deal with the strength and speed of Sanada's serve and return when he is really an opponent of Sanada.

[gamerikkaidai1-0] Four Aces.

In the second game, Makinoto and Makinoto wanted to use doubles to establish a time difference to score, but in the other half it was mainly Sanada who returned the ball. It was like a one-on-two. Yukimura could predict the ball Sanada missed and make up for it. And Yukimura's return ball often means scoring.

Saito sighed in his heart, he turned his head and motioned for one or two doubles to warm up.

[gamerikkaidai2-0]

It was Yukimura's serve, but he didn't make it too difficult for Makizhito and the two, but Sanada obviously got more and more into the state.

"Invasion is like fire!"

"It's as fast as the wind."

"Rather than Sanada and Yukimura's doubles, it's better to say it's Sanada's solo show." Mukai put his hands behind his head, "It's kind of boring."

"Indeed, Yukimura-kun paddled very happily in this race." Shinozu followed what Xiang Hi said and continued to complain. "Watching Yukimura-kun play on the spot is indeed a kind of enjoyment, a beauty, isn't it?"

Marui, who was closer to the ice emperor and the others, quietly wrote a note to Shinozu.

[gamerikkaidai6-0]

"Awesome, you can cut off the vines, worthy of Sanada Yukimura, the name of Japan's number one soldier!"

"However, it seems that Mu Zhiteng's strength has indeed dropped a lot."

After the game, Yukimura didn't sweat much, and sat back directly on the coach's bench. [I can understand the mood of senior Fukuyama a little bit... Genichiro is really not suitable for doubles. ]

In the doubles one match, Takeda and Matsumoto won [6-1].The tacit understanding between the two of them is better than that of Takeda and Matsumoto, and they also play very hard.But after all, the basic strength is different, and the competition experience is quite different, so they can only try their best to save their own serve.

"It seems that we can celebrate the victory in advance." Matsumoto said to Fukuyama after leaving the field.

"I think so too." Takeda echoed.

"Next is the singles three match, Lihai University Affiliated High School Fujiwara Sato VS Makino Fuji Middle School Saito Michizo."

Saito picked up his tennis racket and stood up, looking around the final venue.

[Maki Vine only wins.Seniors, I will keep this last glory. ]

"Both salute."

Saito and Fujiwara shake hands at the net.

"I will win." Saito seemed to tell Fujiwara an established fact.

"Everyone wants to win, but who can really win when they want to win?" Fujiwara, who had already tied up his ponytail, stopped talking and turned to go to the backcourt.

"The game starts, and Fujiwara, the High School Affiliated to Lihai University, starts first."

[It's a long-lost feeling. ] Fujiwara took the ball unhurriedly.Last year Lihai Yamato and Makino Fuji also met in the final.They fought fiercely until the last singles match. As Minister Lihai, he and Minister Makinoto Byodoin fought for the national championship for their team.

The truth is, he lost. [1-6] fiasco.

When he left the field, he didn't know whether to resent himself for failing everyone's expectations, or to be thankful that this was not the final of the Kanto Competition.

Having been completely destroyed by the Byodoin, he even began to question whether his style of play was feasible, and whether his style of play was really as "useless and superfluous" as the outside world said.

Fujiwara grabbed the bouncing ball and looked at Fukuyama in the viewing area.

[Kyu, I really appreciate you.As the deputy minister of Lihai University, you can understand my depression at that time.At that time, you were always exposed to the forefront, sharing all kinds of pressure for me-doubts, suspicions, and complaints.so--]

[I won't doubt myself anymore, I won't let you down.This game is the proof! ]

Snapped.

[15:0]

"204km/h!" Liu was shocked for a moment, and began to write quickly. [Compared to the game in Hejing City, the serving speed has increased by 16.7%. ]

"Senior Fujiwara is full of energy." Mori leaned on Takeda's shoulder.

"Ju Saburo, you're getting heavy again." Takeda straightened his back.

Saito conceded a goal first, he regained his composure, readjusted his posture, and signaled that the opponent was ready to receive the serve.

Snapped.

On the second ball, Saito kept up with the speed of the ball, hit a diagonal ball, and started to surf the net.

"As expected, Saito took the offensive from the beginning, while Zuoxian played steadily." Fukuyama stood on the sidelines, observing the field with arms folded, with a calm expression.

"I don't think Saito can break through Fujiwara's defense, even though his style of play is very similar to Byodoin." Matsumoto replied on Fukuyama's right.

"Even if it really disrupts Zuoxian's rhythm, it doesn't mean winning." Fukuyama stared at Fujiwara in the field. After the final, Fujiwara would pull him to play 6 practice games every weekend, not just for Practice defense.

[30:0] The lob shot by Fujiwara just hit the bottom line.

[30:15] Saito's frontcourt chip successfully scored.

"It seems that the strength of the two is quite equal. What do you think of Atobe?" Shinobu asked Atobe who was caressing the silver hair.

"Lihai's deputy minister is at an advantage."

"Eh? Is that so?" Xiang Ri rested her head with her right hand.

The contemplative forbearance suddenly digressed: "Speaking of which, being a minister at Lihai University is based on appearance?"

"Uh..." Hearing the complaints, Xiang Ri began to compare Fujiwara on the court with Yukimura on the coach's bench.

Atobe Black Line: "Watch the game!" [This topic stops here. ]

[gamerikkaidai1-0]

"Fujiwara..." In this round, Saito played very carefully.He had studied this man above Fukuyama more than once. [When will you explode?Fujiwara. ]

[40:30]

Until the game point of the second game, the field was still calm, and Fujiwara seemed to be passively defending, hitting short balls or lobs to score from time to time.

At this time, Saito became more focused.

［Advantage set］

After a point was taken away, Saito quickly regained another point.

[coming. ] Saito saw that Fujiwara's batting posture was obviously different from usual this time. [Baseline chip. ]

[Deuce]

"Tsk, short ball?"

[Very interesting, this game. ] Yukimura was very excited at this time, he straightened his upper body and adjusted his sitting posture.

"It seems that Jingshi is very interested in this game." Liu sighed subconsciously, and glanced at Nioh with bright eyes from the corner of his eye.

[There is one more person who is very interested. ]

[Deuce]

"No, it's just that the second game was so tight."

"Atobe, is it really Lihai's Fujiwara who is in control of the situation?"

"Keep reading, Xiang Ri, look carefully."

[gamemakixifuji1-1] The second round lasted 13 minutes.

The serve was saved, and Saito was slightly relieved at this time.

[15:0] Ace.

Except that Saito was slightly distracted on the first ball, and then the two stalemate again.

[When,] Saito hit a backhand backhand, [When did you "shine your sword", Fujiwara. ]

Perhaps only those who fought against Fujiwara could understand this feeling of being indifferent.It's not that Saito has never thought about conducting targeted training, but Makinoto's overall style of play is wild. In fact, not only Makinoto, but most teams in Kansai have a relatively extensive style of play, with more than aggressiveness and insufficient defense.Even if there is a well-thought-out tennis team, the basic strength is vulnerable.As for Shitenbaoji, well...it's not within Saito's consideration.

[40:0]

Saito wiped his sweat. [It can't go on like this. ] He recalled the former Minister Byodoin Phoenix in his mind.

[Strong attack, tear it apart, and the "sword" will naturally be exposed. ]

Saito returned the lob with a forehand shot with both hands.

[The strength is sufficient, but the position is too bad. ] Fujiwara hit a double reverse.

[gamerikkaidai2-1]

"Swap venues."

Saito took the towel from coach Oda and rubbed his face.He has been under a lot of pressure since the beginning of the game, and he is very vigilant about every game point, so he has unconsciously sweated a lot.

"Saito..." Oda couldn't say anything about the situation.If he loses this game, Mu Zhiteng will be out with three strikes, and even if he wins the quasi-championship, he will face overwhelming doubts.

In the fourth game, Saito still played hard, especially the continuous "Deuce" later, which made him almost give up this negative emotion.

[Calm down, Saito Michizo.The more this is the case, the more you have to calm down. ]

[gamemakixifuji2-2]

"What, it's been in a stalemate." Shishido was about to get up to buy a can of drink.

"Sit down, Shishido." Atobe glanced behind him, "Even if you have a little experience of the spiritual power of the two on the court."

[I will not admit defeat, Fujiwara. ] Saito stared at Fujiwara who was about to serve. [If you plan to go on like this, then your calculations will be empty. ]

Snapped.

[As expected of the minister of Makino Fuji, such concentration and psychological pressure are indeed rare. ] Yukimura's eyes kept going back and forth between the two.

[15:0]

[30:0] Ace.

"205km/h, it seems that Fujiwara-senpai's condition is getting better and better."

[30:15] Saito released a side spin short ball in due course.

"Fujiwara, no matter what tricks you're playing, it's useless to me." Saito challenged Fujiwara with a relaxed face, "You're trying so hard, but in the end it's better to fight me directly."

Fujiwara ignored it.

"Isn't it good for you to face off with me to decide the outcome? Maybe it's better than the current score."

"Can I serve?"

"...Ah." Saito squatted down and held the racket as a gesture.

[Deuce]

"Cut." Saito gritted his teeth. [Yes, after all, my rank in this area is much worse than that guy Fukuyama. ]

He feels quite passive now, the rhythm on the court has been controlled by Fujiwara, just now he almost broke serve, but was saved by Fujiwara.

Saito was already quite impatient.

[gamerikkaidai3-2] In the last point, Saito made a mistake and went off the net.

"The opposite party can't bear it anymore, Saito." Oda stroked his beard.

"Ah, I have that hunch too."

[You should have this hunch in every serve game, Saito-san. ] Yukimura handed Fujiwara a water glass. "It's time to start, senior. It's too late."

Fujiwara Asokimura smiled.

In the next first ball, Fujiwara launched an offensive, even Saito was a bit unexpected.

[0:15]

"What, it just started?" Saito felt an inexplicable sense of gap.

"Saito has really improved a lot this year." Fukuyama finally began to explain to everyone, "Not only his style of play, but his basic five dimensions are already close to Byodoin at that time."

"So, if you confront Saito head-on at first—"

"Ah, you will suffer a lot. Even if you are on the defensive, you can see that they are on par. Zuo Xian's calm performance has deceived many people."

"Does that mean we can go head-to-head now?" Mao Li scratched his curly hair.

"You can, but you don't need to."

[deuce]

[Is it a draw again? ] Saito stared at the opposite side, sweating profusely.

[Advantage fujiwara]

"Oops, it's time to break serve." Oda felt a little bad.

"It seems that the current situation can be explained by waiting for work." Liu found a seat and sat down. "Currently Fujiwara-senpai's state is still in a stable period, and Saito has exerted a lot of force in the previous few rounds. Now it is impossible to play the previous state. This state is not only speed endurance, but also mental level. Concentration."

[Also, Fujiwara-senpai is now attacking and closing, and the rapid change of rhythm will also make it difficult for Saito to deal with. ] Yukimura pressed his neck. [Judging from Saito-san's previous performance, he is unable to handle it now. ]

[gamerikkaidai4-2]

Saito closed his eyes and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his collar. [Not very much, there is still a chance. ]

"After Zuo Xian won this game, Saito collapsed." Fukuyama looked at Saito, who was already exhausted on the field, "Whether it is Makinoto's three consecutive victories, the theory of 'victory first' left by Byodoin , or the pressure of Makino Fuji's three-strike out, he has been overwhelmed."

[gamerikkaidai5-2]

[Can't lose, I can't lose! ] Saito's temples were swollen and painful, and his hands and feet became a little numb due to too much force.

[DoubleFault] Double fault.

[0:15]

[Calm down, Saito, calm down. ]

The quality of Saito's serve has dropped a lot compared to before.

[The more this is the case, the more you have to calm down. ] Fujiwara still did not relax at every return.

"It has become disorganized." Liu put away the information book and found the financial notes of the tennis club.

The cheerleading team of Lihai University and the members watching the game are already cheering for victory.

"Looks like Lihai will win big." Renzu looked at Fujiwara on the field, "Well, he still performed quite steadily. He is worthy of being a 'general'."

［gamesetandmatch,wonbyrikkaidai6-2］Saito swung an empty racket for the last ball.

"The game is over, Lihai University Affiliated Middle School 3-0 Mu Zhiteng Middle School, won the national competition!"

When he really saw the score of 6-2 on the scoreboard, Fujiwara relaxed his whole body. He turned around and was about to smile to his companions in the Lihai Grand Auditorium, but was caught by a hat-wearing man at the top of the stand. The slender back is attractive. [A bit familiar, where have I seen it? ]

Fujiwara, who tried hard to remember, went to China Open to salute.

"Good game, Saito."

"Ah, Fujiwara, I don't have any regrets anymore." [Convinced. ]

Saito, whose face was a little pale, was helped by Fujiwara to the Muzhiteng rest area. He rubbed his temples, only feeling that his mind was blank and his headache was splitting.He unconsciously apologized to his teammates: "I'm sorry. I lost."

"Saito..."

"Sakage," Fukuyama greeted the approaching Fujiwara, and handed him a towel. "Nice fight."

"Ah, quite an exciting game." Yukimura smiled and handed over the water glass.

The quasi-finalists also gathered around to congratulate Fujiwara.

After a few hours of rest, the award ceremony was held at the Osaka Tennis Park.

Fujiwara received the championship trophy, Fukuyama received the certificate, and Yukimura, who was wearing a jacket, received the winning pennant.The banners with red background and white characters were displayed in different association offices year after year, enjoying the baptism of young people's admiring eyes.And now, under the sunshine of summer, Yukimura waved it around for a few moments, directly deciding its ownership for the next year - he announced to everyone in the audience: "The king stands in the sea, and the second consecutive champion has no dead ends!"

Ren Zuzu, the second in the Ice Emperor team, couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Yukimura-kun from Lihai seems to be more gorgeous than you, Atobe." Then Atobe made another note.
