[Net King] The Crown of Tennis

"Ahhhhhh! It's too late, I'm leaving first!" Kirihara took a piece of bread in his mouth, dragged the tennis bag to the entrance, put on the sleeve of his right coat at the same time, and ran out the door in a hurry.

"Wait, Chiya!" Mrs. Kirihara took a clean sweat towel and walked out of the entrance quickly, looking at Kirihara who had run away helplessly in front of the door. "And towels..."

Liu looked at his watch for the third time: "There are still 3 minutes and 24 seconds." [Chi Ye, you have no "second" chance. ]

Sanada was standing with his arms folded, his index finger unconsciously tapping his upper arm. "Too lax! Never forgive this time."

[It is more than unforgivable. ] Marui looked worriedly at Yukimura who smiled lightly. [How could Yukimura allow "this time". ] "Chi Ye is really, this time he must be asked to copy the Ministry's regulations fifty times."

"The problem is that you can't get rid of it? Akaya." Nioh added fuel to the fire, making Shimadzu, the little prince on the bench who was already at the end of the line, unconsciously take another step back.

"You can't say that, Lord Renwang." Liu Sheng also glanced at his watch, "It's not time yet."

Yukimura didn't respond to his teammates' preparations for mitigating Kirihara's punishment overtly and secretly, and he kept watching the members who were still jogging in the morning.

[There is no second time, some things, there is only one chance to fight for.That's why it's so precious. ]

"It's almost there, we—"

"Sorry!" Before seeing Kirihara's figure, the boy's voice, which was at the beginning of the voice change period, came first.Then came a figure running wildly. "I... I'm not... late..."

"14 seconds. Jingshi?" Liu looked at his watch for the first time, and Kirihara started panting when he ran in front of the crowd, and he was relieved when he heard Liu's announcement.

"Akaya, really." Marui went to hook Kirihara's neck. [It makes us so nervous every time. ]

"Chiya! Almost late, double the daily training!"

"..." Kirihara didn't refute, he lowered his head and panted, being played and teased by the seniors.

Yukimura leaned down and observed Kirihara's eyes and face: "Didn't you eat breakfast?"

"Minister..." Kirihara choked up, he was almost late, and Minister Yukimura still cared if he had breakfast. [Sure enough, the minister is the best person! ]

[...Actually, I also want to ask. ] Liu took a step behind Yukimura.

"Let's go to the competition venue first. I brought some pastries to prepare, and I will let Chi Ye rest up a little bit when I get there."

"Minister, it won't be so late next time!"

When everyone from Lihai University set off, their first opponent, Lu Chuanzhong, had already arrived at the tennis park.

"Alas—" This is the 17th sigh of No. [-], the vice-minister of Luchuan Central Committee, which made the minister Nakamura, who was wrapping his hands glued, hit his chest: "What are you doing?"

"That's Li Haida, Nakamura. We have to lose five games in a row. It's ugly."

"I've drawn all the draws, so it's enough to compete." Nakamura tried his hand to find the feeling after wrapping up, "Even if we must lose, we have to win. We can't let others look down on us in Luchuan, right?"

"Ah, so to speak—"

"Where is there so much to worry about, Beitian."

"Anyway, Li Hai is the No. 1 in the country, so there is nothing to be ashamed of us losing to him, Vice Minister."

"Yes, last year Lihai had an unbeatable record. It was like cutting melons and vegetables all the way. I didn't lose a game. It's incredible to think about it."

"The Kyushu powerhouse Lions also lost all five games."

Okubo suddenly pulled Nakamura's sleeve, and pouted to the right: "Minister, here we come!"

The team uniform is based on khaki, with a simple black stripe on the chest, brown and red stars are arranged in an orderly manner in the white border extending from the shoulder to the cuff, and the school logo of Lihai University Affiliated High School on the left side of the chest It is enviable.

Headed by Minister Yukimura, behind him were Sanada and Yanagi who were also known as the "Big Three" of Rikkai University, followed by the main election and the quasi-shogun, with an astonishing momentum.

Face to face, the main candidates in Luchuan became nervous, but the minister Nakamura blinked and was distracted.He remembered the scene of Li Hai's appearance that he had witnessed for a while in his own country—there was also such a queue at that time, and the minister with long hair, Fujiwara, was at the front, a very beautiful and elegant person.He thought at that time: Is this the minister of Lihai University?

But today Nakamura's complaints are different. [Is appearance one of the criteria for Lihai's election as a minister? ]

Bei Tian, ​​the deputy director who watched Li Hai and his party go to the registration office, breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Nakamura next to him with a blank expression, his mind wandering. [Is it really okay for our Minister of Luchuan to be so natural? ]

Lu Chuanzhong, who was already mentally prepared, was cut to zero by Li Hai as expected.In fact, they admired the high-level Lihai University players, and it was their freshmen's wild speeches after each round that everyone in Luchuan couldn't stand.

After the five games, Nakamura and Yukimura shook hands: "As expected of Li Haida."

"Midorikawa also played well. And—" Yukimura glanced at Kirihara, who had a red face and bright eyes on the left, "Our team member is playing for the first time, and I am quite excited."

"It doesn't matter." Nakamura shrugged, and suddenly felt that Yukimura, as an elder, was worried about his own children.

[Uh... an illusion, right? ]

Anyway, they packed their bags and went home early in Luchuanzhong.

"The opponent in the next round is on the second court."

When Lihai arrived, the match between Liujiao Zhong and Aiyuan Yizhong was going to the singles three.

"I have given you the information on Liujiao before. Their consultant is called 'Daddy'. He is famous for making wooden rackets. He is very popular with local children and has a wealth of knowledge about kinematics."

"Minister Oizumi, bottom-line counterattack type; doubles players Kuroba, Tengen..." Liu subconsciously looked at Marui and Kuwahara.

"Players Saeki, full-court type; Shu, good at resolving spin balls, with good dynamic vision; Hayama, surfing type; Kameda, full-court type. In short, there is no problem for everyone to perform as usual."

Marui lay on the protective net: "That racket is so strange, is it custom-made?"

"The staff officer said it, the old man made it."

"The coordination of the body is good, the flexibility is also good, and the performance is stable. It exceeded my expectations."

"Yukimura?"

"It's just that the foundation is not very good, and some movements are not perfect."

"That's enough, they pose no threat to Lihai."

"Next is the match between Kanagawa Tachikai University Affiliated High School and Chiba Rokkaku High School."

"Doubles [-], Lihai University Affiliated High School Liu Lian Er, Yagyu Hiroshi VS Liujiao Kuroba Chunfeng and Tiangen Guang."

Kirihara was on the side full of energy: "Defeat them, senior!"

"Both salute."

"Please advise."

The one who shook hands with Liu Sheng was Tian Genguang with curly hair: "Li Hai is amazing. Pfft——" was punched by Hei Yu's explosive hammer: "Enough is enough!"

[It's so cold...] Liu Sheng tried hard to control the corners of his mouth.

The starter in the Hexagon is Kuroba, and Lihai Yagyu is the receiver.

After the start of the game, Liu and Liusheng focused on defense and tested Liujiaozhong.

"Is this Li Haida being suppressed by us?" Shu, who was watching the game, was a little confused.His partner Saeki explained to him: "Probably not, Lihai's two people predicted well, and they saw through both Heiyu and Tiangen's returns."

[Only in terms of physical fitness, Hexagon is really good, there is no shortcoming in strength, endurance, and speed.Then what?Every swing has a different posture, and it is a waste to not be able to maximize your own power into the power of tennis. ]

[gameRikkaidai1-0]

Kuroba wiped his sweat. "Li Haida... is completely different from the previous opponents." Every ball is very tricky, and it is very difficult for him and Tian Gen to catch it.

"It's almost there? Mr. Liu."

"That's right, let's start."

The following game was clean and tidy. Yagyu served as the defense and support team, and Liu was the main attacking position. The quality of the ball returned by the two has risen by more than one grade.

"Huh... completely crushed, Oizumi."

"Well, and—" Oizumi frowned and looked at Yagyu who was at the bottom line, "I always feel that Li Haida is still hiding his strength."

[gamesetandmatch,wonbyRikkaidai6-0]

"Adieu."

"Finally doomed. Pfft—"

"Give me almost a little!" Hei Yu kicked Tian Gen.

[From a certain point of view, Lord Tiangen is still very powerful. ]

During the doubles match, Nioh was fishing for fish, and Mori had the same idea at first, but Yukimura stared at him a little nervously.

[Nioh, what Fukuyama-senpai taught you is not used here, is it? ] Maori labored bitterly in the frontcourt, while Nioh happily paddled in the backcourt. [This is to preserve strength, senior.Anyway, you have a long-standing reputation, so do your best. ]

[gameRikkaidai4-0]

When Yukimura turned his head, Kirihara happened to be yelling at the children in the hexagon, and the posture with his hands on his hips froze instantly: "Minister...that..."

"Go warm up."

"Yes!"

"Huh?" The children who were arguing with Kirihara were stunned by his transformation. "You're so cowardly, Kelphead."

"you are annoying!"

"Aki!"

"Ahhh, deputy minister, I'm going right away."

"Next is the singles match three, Akiya Kirihara of Rikkai High School VS Saeki Torojiro of Rokkaku."

Yukimura sat up straight, and Kirihara in front of him reluctantly unloaded his load, and tapped his shoulder with a pat: "Don't worry, Minister, last time it took 15 minutes to get it done, this time it will take 4 minutes."

"Then let me meet you."

The sleepy Marui cheered up: "Maybe Akaya's game will be interesting in this round."

"Puri, I don't know if hexagon can force Akaya to the 'red-eye' state."

"If you are red-eyed, Chi will hit someone, right? Is it okay?" This is the worry of the bench player Kuwahara.

"If you have the ability to make Chiye red-eyed, you will naturally have the ability to dodge these balls." Relying on his tall and tall Maoli, "As long as he doesn't provoke Chiye with words, Chiye will not go too far."

"The game starts, Saeki starts in the six corners."

Saeki's serve was hit to the right by Kirihara's forehand, and the speed made Saeki startled.

[0:15]

"It's so fast." His dominant hand is left-handed, and Kirihara receives the serve on the left side. Under normal circumstances, Kirihara needs to return the ball with a backhand, but he can make a forehand posture.This showed that for Kirihara, his serve was too slow.

"What are you, at this level, I can finish you in 4 minutes." Kirihara's words did not anger Saeki, but the cheering children beside him supported Saeki.

"It's so long-winded, Kelphead, Saeki is very strong."

"Little devil! Don't call me kelp head!"

"Aki!"

Kirihara obediently went to get the hair extension.

Saeki's second ball did not allow Kirihara to directly return the ball to score. He can still keep up with Kirihara's ball speed, and his return seems to have no threat to Kirihara at all.

"Short ball? This kind of trick is useless against Chi." Liu felt relieved about the current situation for the time being.Kirihara's concentration is very strong, and he is a bottom-line counterattack type, which does not mean that he has no awareness of surfing the Internet.

This short ball cuts the original to the backfield with a chipping treatment.

"Net."

[0:30]

"Saeki seems to be a little weak to deal with it."

"It's true that Li Hai's Kirihara reacts very quickly, even if Saeki has insight, it's hard to find his flaws."

"Akaya's double training was not in vain, Yukimura should be very relieved now?" Marui thought of Yukimura's one-on-one training in those days, and burst the bubble. [I'm not red and I'm heavy, when can I get Yukimura to give me a back. ]

[gameRikkaidai1-0]

"jo—u—sho—Rikkaidai! Let's go, Let's go Rikkaidai!"

"Break serve in the first game, it's troublesome."

"What should I do?" This is the point of the third game. Kirihara has already played two games in a row. If he loses another serve, it will be very difficult for Saeki to catch up. "His bottom line turning speed is too fast, and his front and back court moves are not slow, what should we do?"

[Confused, it will lose faster if it goes on like this. ] Yukimura is really relieved that Kirihara's progress is not only reflected in the technical level, his mood is more stable, and his concentration is also stronger.

[gameRikkaidai3-0]

"Swap venues."

"Father." Saeki covered his face with a towel, trying to calm down.

The bearded old man slowly stretched out his finger to the front field: "Ah... this way..."

"Sure enough, do you still have to work hard on the front and back courts?"

In the fourth game, Saeki put a short ball diagonally to Kirihara after several back and forth.

[30:15]

"Finally off to a good start, Saeki."

Liu added a few strokes to his notebook: "Being controlled by the other party, Chi Ye is not yet strong in this regard."

"But Yukimura has played so many games with him, so he must have some feelings, right?"

"Because Yukimura's control is too strong, so strong that Kirihara has subconsciously backed down in this regard." Nioh rolled his eyes, "Aren't you the same, when fighting with Yukimura, you always subconsciously give up fighting for rhythm."

"..."

[Blame me? ] Yukimura wrote a note to Nioh.He had thought of this situation, but he wanted to know whether Qieyuan could get rid of it by himself.

"I'm really upset." Kirihara wiped his sweat.These few balls made him feel like he was playing against Yukimura - being played. "Qi, I won't be played like this by anyone other than the minister!"

Facing the flat shot from Saeki, Kirihara moved his hands together and hit a volley.The return was quick, and because of topspin it fell sharply in mid-court, and Saeki swung an empty racquet.

[40:15]

"It seems that he has this self-awareness. Yukimura went home without a white shirt that day." This was Maori's sigh, and then he felt the sad eyes of the quasi-chosen candidates.

# Can you not mention this matter?Very jealous. #

Saeki, who played steadily, won the fifth game, but the rest did not go smoothly. Kirihara was always disrupting his batting rhythm unintentionally, and he seemed to faintly see Kirihara's eyes turn red.

"Something's not good, isn't Chi reaching a critical point?"

"Not yet." Liu looked at Yukimura's position, "Seiichi didn't say anything, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

[gamesetandmatch,wonbyRikkaidai6-1]

"I won, Minister!" Kirihara jumped up and down in front of Yukimura.

"Very good, Akaya. But—" Yukimura pointed to Saeki who was waiting in front of the net, "You should do your etiquette first."

It would be a lie for Saeki to say that he was not depressed in this disastrous defeat. He forced a smile and shook hands with the proud Kirihara: "It was a very good game, you are very strong."

"Well, you're not bad either." Kirihara was very comfortable being praised by Saeki, because no one in Lihai said he was very strong, "Although you seem to be a little minister in the back fight, I have to emphasize that you are not as good as you are." Go to our minister, absolutely not comparable!"

Saeki couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't want to compare with Yukimura.

"The game is over, Lihai University High School 3-0 Liujiao Middle School, advanced to the semi-finals."

The author has something to say:

According to the data, when Kirihara was a child, he and his sister snatched toys and red eyes, and some animation plots were added.Taking it all into consideration, the red eye is a manifestation of Kirihara's violent emotional changes, and should have nothing to do with physical trauma.

One day at the Ice Emperor Tennis Court——

Shinobu: No, the point is that every time Jiro sleeps, he can break the atmosphere just right.

Atobe: Mukohi, Shishido, Shinobu, double the training!
