[Net King] The Crown of Tennis

"Director Sakaki." After the first day of competition, Atobe discussed with Sakaki Taro about tomorrow's semi-final match list, "Can you arrange me in the singles three?"

Sakaki was greatly surprised: "Atobe, you are the 'Emperor' of the Ice Emperor."

"Because of this, my uncle believes that our Ice Emperor will definitely win the next match against Youth Academy—" Atobe was not disturbed by Sakaki's deep voice, "except for the singles match against Tsuka Kunimitsu."

"This is your goal?"

"Yes, please allow me to be capricious for a while." Atobe bowed slightly to Sakaki.

"Atobe, this is not a place where you can be willful." Sakaki did not back down, "Did the long-term stability make you relax?"

"...My uncle understands."

"Sure enough, Atobe is still singles one." The layout of the battle table is consistent with Liu's prediction.

"Tezuka is singles three, against Akutagawa Jiro." Sanada raised the brim of his hat, "The winner will be Tezuka." Sanada's impression of Akutagawa is not very good, it can even be said to be very bad.

Compared with Bingdi, Qingxue's doubles has obvious disadvantages. After two games, Bingdi leads 2-0.

"Come on, Tezuka." Aigaku's coach Ryuzaki put his hope on Tezuka.

"I will do my best." Tezuka, who had gradually lost his childishness, had a serious expression.He understands the criticality of this singles.

"The game starts, Ice Emperor starts first."

Akutagawa, who was serving to the net, was stunned by Tezuka's gradual display of Tezuka's domain.

"...It's amazing!" Akutagawa clenched his racket tightly, pointing at Tezuka Asajibe and the others, admiring them. "What a powerful rotation, did you see it?"

"I knew it." Xiang Ri's head was full of black lines.

Shishido was trying to pull the dazed Akutagawa back: "It's so bad! Jirou. Go serve."

"Is this Tezuka's domain? Why haven't I heard from Seiichi?" Liu's writing speed was obviously accelerated, and his tone became urgent, "Predict the opponent's return, and add corresponding spin to your own return, so that The ball returns to the same place. Has Tezuka controlled the field to this extent?"

"Ah, this is Tezuka." [My admitted old enemy. ]

"But the lob seems to be crackable." Tezuka retreated to the backcourt to pump.

"His abilities are more than that." Sanada's voice was still calm, but his tense body showed his inner excitement and fighting spirit.

Tezuka's field was not easy to crack, and Akutagawa hit a short ball in front of the net to test again, but was scored by Tezuka's zero-cut ball.

Because of the backspin far above the horizontal ball speed, the tennis ball did not bounce toward the backcourt as Akutagawa expected, but bounced toward the net at a lower angle.

"Pretty delicate chopping, it can be said to be a sharp weapon in front of the net." Liu changed the posture of holding the pen and rubbed his chin, "Tezuka's style of play seems to be quite dependent on spin..."

"That's enough to put most players at their wits' end."

"Well... indeed."

Sanada has been thinking about how he felt during that match.The more I think about it, the more powerless I feel at that time - no matter how powerful the ball is, he can be hit back, and his every move is within Tezuka's expectations.Even if you use the state of selflessness, it is still useless.This feeling of powerlessness not only did not disappear with the passage of time, but became more intense.It was so strong that he and Yukimura didn't have such a sense of depression in the game. "Tezuka, his strength may be on par with Yukimura."

"...?" Liu's brush strokes were clearly drawn out, "Your evaluation is quite high, Sanada."

"Tezuka deserves that evaluation. Calm and technically outstanding, he is an opponent worthy of attention."

"..." Liu didn't answer, and quietly followed the game on the field.

[The posture of the swing is slightly unnatural, what's going on. ] Atobe of the Ice Emperor Viewing Area motioned for patience to warm up.

[There seems to be something wrong with the elbow? ]

"It looks like Jirou is going to lose, but that guy must be praising the other side heartlessly." Shishido shook his head, and the beautiful ponytail was also thrown away.

"That's right, as expected of the national level, that Tezuka." Xiang Hi, who usually suffers at the net in matches with Jirou, is now feeling complicated.He met Tezuka and suffered the same fiasco...

The victory of the singles three made Qingxue regain his confidence, and the cheerleaders also regrouped and began to shout.But in the second singles, Ice Emperor's forbearance immediately shattered Qingxue's hope of winning the competition.

[gamesetandmatch,wonbyHyotei6-2]

"It's really slow, bear with it."

"Hi, hi." Shinobu submissively echoed Atobe's criticism.

"Even though Tezuka-kun is here, the overall strength of the Youth Academy is still not enough." Liu put away his notebook lightly, "Even if we do meet in the Kanto Tournament, it will not be a big threat to us." [There is no threat. ]

"Xianichiro?" Liu turned his head, but Sanada had long since disappeared.

Qingxue and his party on the sidelines were about to leave, but the khaki figure walking by made everyone startled.

"That's Li Haida's team uniform, right?"

"What are the people from Lihaida doing here?"

Ignoring the curious gazes of others, Sanada looked directly at Tezuka in the middle of the Seigaku team, but was quickly blocked by the head minister.

"The team members of Lihai University, what do you do?"

Sanada's sharp eyes made Kurosawa, the head of the Youth Academy, a little dizzy, but fortunately, coach Ryuzaki came out to make a rescue.

"Are you Sanada-kun from Likai University?"

"'Emperor' Sanada!"

"He is the vice minister of Lihai University."

"It looks so serious."

"..."

"Yes." Sanada lowered the brim of his hat, aware that his behavior was slightly inappropriate, and saluted Ryuzaki slightly. "I'm here to find Tezuka."

[Tezuka, it's Tezuka again! ] Kurosawa clenched his fists, feeling that he had no sense of existence as a minister.

"We are planning to rest for the afternoon game. If Sanada-kun has something important, you can discuss it with Tezuka-kun in private."

"Yes, I'm sorry." Sanada took a deep look at Tezuka, turned and left.

Liu happened to witness this scene, and was a little sullen. [It is necessary to ask Jingshi about the detailed process. ]

"You said that Sanada went to the Miyako Tournament just to see Tezuka-kun?" Yukimura was busy fertilizing his "little guys".The lunch break is still relatively short, so he has to hurry up.

During the lunch break on Sunday after the capital competition ended, Liu took advantage of Sanada's routine inspection and came to the roof garden to find Yukimura to understand the situation.

"It seems that Genichiro regards Tezuka as an old enemy." Yanagi sat on the side of the bench, expressing his hidden dissatisfaction to Yukimura regarding the records in the notebook.

"That's always been his character."

"But in his eyes, Tezuka-kun's level is comparable to yours..."

"Really," Yukimura didn't stop, "Genichiro's judgment is quite accurate, maybe it's true."

"...I don't agree with it at all." Liu was very puzzled by Yukimura's calm reaction. "Is the gap between Genichiro and Tezuka-kun really that big?"

"Of course not." Yukimura picked up the potted autumn peonies on the ground and moved them to the wall. [Ping Jun grows very well, and it must be beautiful when it blooms. ]

"He played pretty badly at the time."

"Is that so..." Liu couldn't quite imagine that kind of scene.

"That's right. Tezuka domain broke his mentality." Yukimura raised his head and recalled a little bit, "Genichiro really had a temper at that time." [But it's much better now, thank you Tezuka-kun?Or the seniors? ]

"Then Tezuka-kun, what do you think?"

"At the time, it was indeed stronger than Genichiro. Generally speaking, the current Tezuka-kun should be much stronger, right?"

"As far as Tezuka-kun's strength is concerned, it is Tezuka's domain, zero-style slice, and his volley is also very precise and powerful."

"There is still the realm of selflessness."

"Tezuka-kun will be without me? And 'and' means—"

"Tezuka-kun knew these three tricks two years ago." Yukimura began to water, and raised his eyebrows when he saw Liu's shocked expression, "Compared with these skills, I appreciate Tezuka-kun's calm state in the game."

"Maybe Akutagawa is not enough to force Tezuka-kun's full strength?"

"Who knows."

"Jingichi, you don't seem to care much about the state of no-self...By the way, you said that Sanada would have no-self, how about you?"

"I do not know."

"What!" Liu's eyes widened. There were too many shocking news for him today, which made him unable to digest. "That's the realm of selflessness..."

"Hmm. So?"

"..." What should Liu say?So, Jingshi, you should have been able to enter the state of selflessness long ago, and the three mysteries are not a problem, or something like that?

"The state of selflessness does improve physical ability to a certain extent, but in the final analysis, returning the ball is based on experience, and it is easy to be led into the pit."

"However, there are three gates in the depths of the realm of selflessness, and the effectiveness of selflessness should be more than that."

"Tsk." Yukimura put down the kettle and looked at Liu, "What Lianji means is that you want to enter the state of selflessness?"

"this......"

"Give up data tennis?"

"Of course not." Liu clearly felt Yukimura's plummeting emotions, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Seichi, my thinking is much clearer."

"I'm very happy that Renji can walk." Yukimura picked up the water bottle and walked to the other side.

"But the matter of Genichiro, I think we still need to pay attention to it." Liu returned to the topic, "His behavior was quite out of character that day. When Sanada put on the team uniform, he should be responsible for his identity, let alone As the deputy head of the Tennis Department of our High School Attached to Lihai University."

"This kind of thing..." Yukimura gently poked Ye Cong, "I will remind him."

"Do you not care at all about his attitude towards Tezuka?"

"..." Yukimura didn't want to answer this question, he turned his back to Liu, and pondered for a while, "I and Genichiro have different ideas, but it doesn't hurt. Enemies or something, this is his own business, Only he can solve it by himself."

"What if it affects the tennis club?"

"What do you mean?"

"Arrangement of battle order, private fights, etc."

"This... Genichiro wouldn't be so capricious, would he?"

The author has something to say:

What I refer to is the generally accepted saying that Tezuka is Sanada's white moonlight, and when he encounters Sanada's impulsive volcanic nature, he is exposed.

Class B of the second grade on a certain day——

Marui: Yukimura gave Akaya another bubble gum that I gave him yesterday.

Nioh: You have to care about such things.

Marui: When I was in first grade, Yukimura would still give me egg tarts.

Nioh: [Emotional country one is not that you are specially "taken care of" by Yukimura...It's good to have Aka here. ]

From a certain point of view, Nioh is more miserable than Kirihara. Kirihara has only Yukimura "care" after all, and Nioh is the double "cooking" of two black-hearted people, Yukimura and Fukuyama.
