[Net King] The Crown of Tennis

The friendly match between the High School Attached to Lihai University and Bingdi was scheduled for Sunday afternoon, and all Lihai students were expected to take the bus to Bingdi Academy.

"So Jirou, why did you follow?" Shinobu stood behind Atobe with a sad face, and Akutagawa beside Atobe kept muttering beside Atobe.

"I'm going to compete with Marui-kun later~"

"Marui-kun is really amazing~"

"Let me tell you, Atobe, Marui-kun has a trick to make the ball bounce on the net~"

"Marui-kun's net volley is really strong~"

"..."

Atobe was wearing a white-gray team uniform and stood at the gate of the Hyotei school. His originally two-meter-eight aura was shattered by the nagging Akutagawa. [Although I have roughly understood it from Yushina.But as a member of the Ice Emperor Club, why do you know so much about people from other schools? ]

[It's really not gorgeous! ]#==

"Atobe, after the match between me and Marui-kun, Marui-kun even gave me a pair—ah! Here we come." Akutagawa blocked the afternoon sun with his hands, and looked at the approaching bus from a distance.

[Finally quiet down. ] Ren Zu let out a sigh of relief.

The bus stopped slowly, Atobe raised his head, and greeted Yukimura who was the first to get off the bus: "Here we come, Yukimura."

[Hey, Xiaojing.Are we so familiar with Lihai?Shouldn't the normal greeting be something like 'Welcome everyone from Lihai to Bingdi'? ]

"My uncle said in advance that even if it is a practice match, the victory belongs to Bing—"

"Marui-san!" Akutagawa rushed towards Marui who just got off the car, and Marui, who was talking with Kuwahara behind him, only felt something flying towards him out of the corner of his eye, and was startled.

"...Hey, what—— Akutagawa-kun?"

"Hey, today I can compete with Marui-kun~"

"Huh?" Marui sneaked a glance at Yukimura, and Yukimura was admiring the expression on Atobe's bold words interrupted by Akutagawa in front of him.

[It seems that Ice Emperor also has a little guy who is not very worrying. ] Yukimura's mood improved a lot.

"Let's see the truth on the court, Atobe."

"Of course." Atobe turned around and led everyone in Lihai to the tennis court.

Nioh put his left hand on Yagyu's shoulder, looked at Atobe and Yukimura who were walking together chatting and chatting in front of him, looked around and saw Kirihara who was pulled by the collar by the frowning Sanada, Marui who was pulled by Akutagawa to introduce Hyotei, and the other side. Kuwahara with an unhappy face.

"piyo. Ice Emperor is such a good place."

[You really are a good audience, Nioh-kun. ] Liu Sheng also enjoyed the "scenery" in front of him very much.

"Okay, let's stop talking, let's start the game. Hiji."

"Yes." Hiji sat on the referee's seat and took over the ranking list of the two sides.

"Next is the practice match between Lihai University High School and Ice Emperor Academy."

"Doubles two, Tachikai...Yagyu, Shimadzu VS Hyotetaki, Shinobu."

"What, newcomer?" This was beyond Atobe's expectations.Apart from hinting at the position of Marui's singles three with Yukimura, he didn't mean to inquire about Li Hai's other order arrangements. "It's really arrogant, you use our Ice Empress as a training object?"

"What, are you confident?" Yukimura gestured to the position of his wrist.

"Yes."

"Please rest assured, Minister Yukimura." Shimadzu's serious expression at this time matched Sanada's.This was his first foreign competition, and even though he was a little uncertain about the outcome, he still didn't want to be inferior to Yagyu.

Yukimura nodded, and shouted to Atobe: "Li Hai came from a long way, since the competition is going to start immediately, if you don't mind, please warm up for me."

"Of course." Atobe agreed.

After a 5-minute warm-up.

"Then, the game begins, and the Ice Empress starts first."

As for Ice Emperor, both Taki and Shinozu are players with strong insight, and Shinozu's skills are even more diverse.In contrast, although Taki has a solid foundation, except for his observation ability, he doesn't have his own style of play. In summary, he is a little mediocre.This is one of the reasons why he couldn't beat Shishido.

In terms of Lihai, Yagyu is good at half-volleys and volleys. He is obviously explosive and aggressive, but his style of play is stable.It's just that at certain critical moments, the volleys played are very easy to score.Shimadzu is a typical front-net player, but his attainments in front of the net are far inferior to Marui, who has gone through camp and special training, and he is especially at a disadvantage when dealing with bottom-line counter-attack players like Kirihara.

[gameHyotei1-0]

"Your members may not be too trusting, Yukimura?"

"With such ambition, I should be happy as a minister, shouldn't I?"

"Ah."

[gameRikkaidai2-2]

In the fourth game, Ice Emperor almost broke serve, but was reversed by Yagyu's midfield volley at the game point.

"Sorry, Yagyu." Shimadzu was a little unstable at the net at this time, and he sent three unforced errors in the last game.After the round was over, he dared not turn his head to look at Yukimura's expression on the sidelines.

"Please feel free to attack, Shimadzu-kun." Yagyu pushed his glasses.

The ice emperor's offensive position is Ninjazu, which puts a lot of pressure on Shimadzu.

"It seems that your tacit understanding is not very good." Ninzuzu hit the ball with a backhand to the diagonal doubles sideline, and Yagyu couldn't catch it.

[gameHyotei4-2]

[Somewhat ugly. ] Yukimura has been paying attention to Shimadzu. [Mental power is too weak. ]

"This score is a bit dangerous. What do you think, Nioh?" Marui tugged on Nioh's sleeve.

"Don't worry, Yukimura will let Li Hai lose?"

"..." Marui had nothing to say.

[gameHyotei5-2]

"Too slack!" Sanada couldn't help shouting in the auditorium.

Yukimura, who was in the guidance seat, smiled lightly and handed the towels to the two: "How is it now?"

Yagyu and Shimadzu looked at each other and took off the weight.

"Play steadily at the beginning, and get used to it." After Yukimura reminded, he looked at Yagyu, "Don't be too revealing."

"clear."

"Shimadzu, you will win."

"……Yes!"

"It's only now, don't you think it's too late?" Atobe turned his head and kindly reminded Yukimura, "This Ice Emperor is sure to win, don't underestimate Ice Emperor in the next one, Yukimura."

"It's not over yet, Atobe." Yukimura raised his index finger on his lips, "Don't jump to conclusions."

[gameRikkaidai3-5]

"The opponent is obviously much more flexible, and the speed of the ball is at least 18% faster." In this game, Taki, who was in the backcourt of the ice emperor, was under a lot of pressure, and he was not very comfortable with the change of rhythm.

[40:40]

Bingdi once again lost points in the backcourt, so he turned around and reminded: "Taki, don't panic."

"I see." Taki took a deep breath, threw the ball and swung his racket.

After taking off the weight, Shimadzu was obviously a little more relaxed, and he also had a way to deal with some of Ninzuzu's technical returns.

In Ninzuzu's eyes, Shimadzu, who is unstable in front of the net, is the absolute shortcoming of the two opponents, so his returns are more or less targeted, but he still misses a little bit.

When Yagyu hit a volley that reversed the game point, he should have realized the hidden danger of this backcourt player.

[gameRikkaidai4-5]

At the point of the game, Yagyu's half-volley returned the ball at high speed, and Ninjazu couldn't react at all. "Oh, I miscalculated."

[gameRikkaidai5-5]

"It seems that your prediction is not right, Atobe." Yukimura looked at Taki, who was still unable to fully adapt to the rhythm, but became a little anxious because of the reversal of the situation, and Shimadzu, who was gradually stabilizing.

"Hmph." Atobe also observed the crux of the matter.

The two doubles began to warm up.

[gameRikkaidai6-6]

In the end, Renzu became serious and won the key serve for Bingdi.

"The game is over, doubles two is a draw." As a practice match between the two schools, due to the consideration of morale and hiding the hole cards, the tie-break will not be played.

"Good fight." Yukimura suppressed Sanada who was frowning and stepped forward, and nodded to the two.

"Doubles [-], Tachimi Sanada, Kirihara VS Hyotei Shishido, Mukahi."

"Hey, Yue Ren is in trouble." Shinobu who had just left the field sat next to Atobe, unable to see the mood after the game, but full of interest in the next game.

Shishido and Xiangri are players who have cooperated since the first day of the country, and the tacit understanding has been quite high so far.Xianghi is the volley type, as the net attacker; Shishido is the counter-attack type, as the bottom line defender.

Even so, Li Hai's attack on Sanada this time was enough to give them a headache.The all-round Sanada's speed is not slow at all, and with the special skill "Fenglin Volcano", Xianghi in front of the net is really unable to catch Sanada's powerball head-on.

There is only one thing that the two ice emperors can use-Sanada often unconsciously doubles and cuts singles.

Kirihara from the bottom line played quite aggrieved. Most of the balls were caught by Sanada, and even some balls that fell to the backcourt should have been returned by him. Sanada also used "wind" to hit them back and scored...

[Deputy Minister Sanada really, this is my first public appearance. ]

Yukimura, who was on the sidelines, was also quite helpless at his young boy's performance. He never thought that Sanada's double □□ holes were so big.

[I thought Genichiro could make some progress after practicing for so long...]

[There is no change at all. ]

[gameRikkaidai6-2]

Kirihara was particularly wronged when he was off the court, he had no chance to show his level at all.Who wouldn't pick up leaks in the backcourt? This doesn't reflect his super strength as Lihai's first-year trump card at all.Sanada next to him also had a serious face. He felt that losing two rounds should not be done.

Shishido and Xiangri were even more sad, they thought they were Ice Emperor's first doubles.In the end, they were almost two-on-one and lost miserably.

Yukimura doesn't comment, he's already talking to Marui.

"Singles three, Atobe specially named you to play."

"I think I have paid enough attention to your singles practice, so I have nothing to say, just don't be too thorough."

"I see." With a brown racket under his left arm, Marui hooked his lips to Yukimura.

The author has something to say:

Here Lihai and Bingdi are putting each other to the bottom.The fate of the two schools should have started from Yukimura's generation, after all, the two first-year ministers cherish each other.Previously, Lihai and Shanbuki Kakiki were a little more familiar with the old strong schools in Kanto, and then the whole country fell in love with Makino Fuji in the past two years... Privately set up privately.

It is said in the original book that Lihai has eight national-level players. It should be because they have performed well in national competitions in the first country and the second country, or have defeated national-level players.

A certain day's party——

Nioh: Every time Yukimura hears "adieu", he feels awkward for a moment.

Yagyu: Did I offend Yukimura-kun?

Yukimura: No such thing.

Liu: Could it be the special artistic conception in a certain line of the poem?

Yukimura: Haha, probably because of listening to music and thinking about others.

Sanada: Huh?Does Yukimura have any friends that I don't know about?
