[Net King] The Crown of Tennis

Kebin ran away by himself, and no one took care of him.Just kidding, if you fail to kick the pavilion, let them take care of those who were kicked out of the pavilion?

Kebin is the captain of the US West Coast Youth Tennis Team, the opponent of this Japan-US friendly match.He came to Japan in advance to find his friend Echizen Ryoma, but after failing, at the suggestion of coach Richard Baker, he used this energy to go to the tennis clubs of various schools in Kanto to smash the field.From Tokyo to Chiba County and then to Kanagawa County, it was not until Lihai University Affiliated High School that I kicked the iron plate.

Kebin has no direct grievances with Echizen Ryoma, and his hatred for Echizen comes from his parents.After his father lost to Echizen Nanjiro, he was about to avenge his shame, but he got the news that his "old enemy" had retired. Since then, he has been depressed and forced Kebin to practice tennis and go to a showdown with Echizen Ryoma, the son of Echizen Nanjiro.

Richard Baker used the grievances of these two generations as a selling point to promote this Japan-US friendly match with great fanfare.He is a businessman, and he only spends his time when it is profitable.

He found that Kaibin's mental state was very abnormal after he came back, and he even refused to play.

How does this work!

The tongue-splitting lotus flower made Kebin regain his fighting spirit against Echizen Ryoma, and Baker learned from the media that Kebin was the "son of God" against Shanghai Lihai University Affiliated High School, and the kick-off tour ended here.

With so many schools in Kanto, none of them except Lihai can stop Kaibin, which is quite embarrassing.Nioh's photography standards are still very high. The copy of the snapshot was taken away by the Kanto Tennis Association and reporters from major newspapers, and then publicized, which can be regarded as retaining some of the Kanto Tennis Association's face.

As a result of the training camp, Lihai's Sanada and Kirihara were selected.Liu didn't care much about this. The purpose of his trip wasn't to play any friendly match. It was just an episode in the training camp. He kept checking but couldn't figure it out: Chi also seemed to be pushed down the stairs?This was learned from volunteer Horio's words.

What Kirihara said was——he had already solved this matter, practice is important.

How can this kind of thing be left alone?Athletes' bodies are so delicate, unsafe factors must be eliminated from the training camp!

In addition to taking Kirihara to the infirmary for examination and taking care of the shoulder injury, he also wanted to understand the cause and effect and pinch the source.

However, their juniors became stubborn and refused to speak up, and Liu couldn't ask the responsible party for monitoring. He and Sanada were in the Sakaki group, and needed to collect first-hand information on these potential opponents, so they found time to find Sanada playing against Atobe.Kirihara is in the Ryuzaki group, Seigaku is the main selection, and Kamio from Fudo Peak, he definitely can't ask directly, he can only check it intermittently, and there is still no result until the match date.

[It really has the title of "Military Master". ]

The friendly match between Japan and the United States was held at the main stadium of Youming Tennis Park, and the atmosphere was warm.Because Sanada and Kirihara were selected, Marui and the others did not waste the tickets issued by the Tennis Association. They had to go to the scene to support their teammates.The two quasi-finalists were left to practice duel.

Yukimura needs to go to the hospital for reexamination that day, and Dr. Nagai looked more nervous than him before the report came out.

"Everything is fine now." Nagai felt relieved, "Don't take it lightly, keep warm at ordinary times, don't use ice water to replenish water after exercise; don't stay up late, the resistance will decline; and..."

With the review report in hand, Yukimura listened carefully to Nagai's instructions.He was betting on the slightest chance, even if it was lower than the success rate of the operation.There are times when it doesn’t rain in Kanagawa in summer, isn’t it?

"In short, except for the review, I hope you won't come here again."

"Nagai-san..." This is probably the most sincere blessing from a doctor, right?

"I'm your doctor." [To eat and to hope to have nothing to eat seems to be the eternal dilemma of doctors. ]

"Thank you very much."

It was already afternoon after coming out of the general hospital, and Yukimura was about to rush to see if the friendly match was over, when a phone call came.

"Fujiwara-senpai?"

[This is Yukimura Seiichi. 】

【Yukimura, are you next to Kirihara-kun? 】There was a lot of noise around Fujiwara, and a few cheers could be heard.

[Red too?What's wrong? 】

[Kirihara-kun was singles one, but was replaced midway. 】

【What? ? ] Yukimura thought he heard it wrong, or Fujiwara was stimulated to speak nonsense. [Wait, halfway?Substitute? 】[Is Senior Fujiwara watching a tennis match? ]

[Yes——] Fujiwara's mobile phone was snatched by Fukuyama. [Yukimura, the current score is [2-2].The reason we heard is that Kirihara-kun was unable to continue the game due to injury, and was replaced by Echizen Ryoma, and continued to play as a singles... Are you busy now? 】

【I'm sorry. 】

Hearing that the voice was not right, Fukuyama exchanged glances with Fujiwara. [Sorry, we have no other meaning.That is, the national competition is about to begin, Kirihara-kun may not be in a good mood right now, if you can comfort me, wouldn't it be safer? 】

【Ah, I'm going right now. 】

[Then, goodbye. 】

【Yes. 】

Fukuyama hung up the phone, pondered for a while, and tapped Fujiwara on the shoulder: "We called too quickly, we made a mistake."

"This......"

"Tsk, I should contact King Ni."

"you sure?"

"... at least slightly better."

When Yukimura arrived, the party who came to watch the game had already met Sanada and Kirihara outside the stadium, and Liu went to get Kirihara's photo and medical report.Nioh and Yagyu stood not far away and talked in a low voice, focusing their eyes on Kirihara; Marui was whispering something to Kirihara, and Kuwahara stood aside, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two; Sanada stood beside Kirihara and looked into the stadium.

Seeing Yukimura, several people gathered around him.

"Minister." Qieyuan felt that his journey in the youth election was terrible, he was injured and substituted, at worst he was incompetent.

"It's okay." Yukimura gently stroked Kirihara's right shoulder, "Let's go back to school."

He turned his gaze to Sanada: "Where is Lianji?"

"I'm going to get Chiya's medical certificate."

"Then wait."

The silence of the seniors made Kirihara a little uneasy. The situation on the court in the stadium seemed to be very intense, and the support from the audience was also very enthusiastic. The Echizen match that the blond can fight with the heart must be more serious than the previous confrontation with him, right?

"Well, I just hit the net posts." Kirihara wanted to liven up the atmosphere, "By the way, the training camp was pretty good, I feel like I learned a lot."

"Really?" Only Yukimura responded sentence by sentence.

"Their practice matches are also pretty good, with a lot of weird doubles combinations."

"Not bad."

"Tezuka-san came back to be a coach, and we held a welcome party for him. The deputy director and I went up to sing! Everyone said that I sang very well."

"Ah, very good."

"I'm on the competition list, and I'm still playing singles...hehe..."

"Yeah, Chi is also very strong."

"It's just a small injury, Minister, I—"

"Renji." Yukimura hugged Kirihara's left shoulder with his left hand, and took the bag of materials with his right hand, "Okay, let's go back to school."

"Yes."

The members are still training daily under the leadership of Koizumi and Igarashi. After a group of eight returned to school, Yukimura rushed them to indoor training, and specially asked Marui to be optimistic about Kirihara.

"Let him sit obediently on the sidelines and dare to take a shot, so he won't go to the national competition."

"Minister..." Kirihara, who resisted in a low voice, was pressed down by Marui: "I know, don't worry."

"Let's go to the agency office to talk." Yukimura turned around and walked ahead. Sanada and Liu understood who "us" Yukimura was referring to, and followed.

Unlike the blood sweating on the court, the conference room run by the club was very quiet, only the sound of Yukimura flipping through the videos and reports.He was standing and watching, Sanada and Liu were not that stupid, they also stood and waited.

The second hand of the round clock made several laps, and Sanada couldn't stand the silence, so he spoke first: "Mr. Ju brought his sister to apologize, and Chi also had a dispute with Ju Xing, who was a volunteer, during the training camp. Fell down the stairs."

"This is the source of Chiya's shoulder injury," Liu continued, "I hit the net post during the game, and then continued for two rounds, causing a second injury."

"The doctor said that he needs to recuperate for a few days, try not to touch his right arm, and there are other precautions, which are all in the report."

......

The papers were scattered on the table, Yukimura lowered his head and supported the table with both hands.When Sanada wanted to explain again, he said, "Just one question."

Sanada stood still and waited.

"Singles one, have you offered to abstain?"

"Yukimura?"

"Sanada, as Akaya's deputy minister, did you propose to the organizers for a one-on-one abstention before you officially decided to make a substitution?"

"I told Chiya to give up singles."

"Did you propose a single forfeit?"

"..." Sanada was silent for a moment, and said: "Yukimura, this is a game between two countries, we Lihai—"

"That's not the case, is it?"

"......Yes."

Liu pinched the hem of his coat and wiped off the sweat from his hands. Yukimura was putting too much psychological pressure on them at this time, but there was no sound from outside the agency office.

very quiet.

"Pfft——" Yukimura covered his mouth with his right hand, as if he felt that his laughter was not suitable for the current scene, "Okay."

"Give it all to me...get out...go ahead...please."

"Yukimura," Sanada felt that Yukimura was not happy, and wanted to explain further.

"Please go to training, please let me be quiet."

Liu tugged at the corner of Sanada's clothes and exited first.Sanada was worried about Yukimura, and after half a minute of stalemate, he left.

With their backs to the wall, they waited quietly at the door of the agency office.

boom!The thin tabletop was hit suddenly, and he cried out in pain.

hiss - squeak - bang

The chair that has always been used by people was kicked hard, the sound of intimate contact with the ground and the scratching of the blackboard with fingernails, and then kicked a second time, successfully falling to the ground.

When the painful cries of the tables and chairs were transmitted to the outside, it sounded a little dull due to the weakening of the walls.The sound hit the hearts of the two of them, but it was not light.

After a short silence, there was another hammer blow. The table couldn't bear it, and it deformed bitterly to express its submission.Maybe it worked, and then there was no more sound.

The only sound around the office was the sound of slapping from the field.Sanada silently walked to the indoor court, and Liu went to the library to search for some books.

"Huh—" When Yukimura raised his head again, his expression was still gentle.He slowly put away Qieyuan's materials, straightened his chair, and walked out of the office.

After the work was over, Yukimura walked with Kirihara carrying the information bag.

"minister?"

"I'd like to visit Mrs. Kirihara, is that okay, Akaya?"

"Eh? Ah, of course."

"Yukimura?"

"I have something to do." Yukimura responded to the questioning eyes with a smile, "Sanada, go back first."

Kirihara was apprehensive and a little bit happy along the way.The last time Yukimura went home with him was back in Kuniichi. He lay on the minister's back and chatted a lot along the way, such as which of the newly launched game consoles has the best performance; which sweatshirt is the most comfortable to wear; How is the French Open going on?

At that time, I really wanted to go home a little longer, so that I could talk until dark and midnight.

Now, has he let the Minister down again?

"Minister Yukimura...I'm sorry."

"Chi is also very good. I have really improved a lot this year."

"I, Minister, the national competition—"

"Isn't it already reported? If Chi Ye recovers quickly, of course he can participate."

"Yes! I will definitely win every game!"

Kirihara's rhetoric did not change Yukimura's mood, and he walked quietly for a while: "This singles match... Akaya,"

"I'm sorry, Minister!" Kirihara thought Yukimura was blaming him for the bad situation before, and immediately apologized, "The deputy minister said, look forward to the national competition in the future, let me learn from Tezuka-san, since I am injured, I have to learn to give up at the right time. That's why I didn't stick to it...Minister...me,"

"It's okay." Yukimura touched the back of Kirihara's neck to comfort him, "Akaya did the right thing. Take care of yourself."

"Minister." The appeasement not only worked, but also made Kirihara's eyes moist.

"Hey, Chi Ye."

"hold head high?"

"I said it before? I want to become the No.1 job site."

"Yeah!" Kirihara straightened his back, and grinned as he pulled his right shoulder, "I will become stronger until I become as strong as No.1 in the world."

"Hehe." Not ridicule, but affirmation and expectation, "Chiya will be a professional tennis player in a few years."

"Yes."

"That's great, I'll keep watching." [Akaya... It's fine if it's broken, at least, the pressure will be much less next year. ]

The author has something to say:

Regarding the Big Three: Liu is a rational person, but this does not mean that he is transparent. To put it bluntly, he has a high IQ, but a slightly weaker EQ.Compared to Yukimura, he takes things lightly, less decisive, softer and more indisputable.Among the Big Three, Liu is probably the one who has the least right to speak. He acts as a consultant, and he is responsible for practical details such as data collection and financial management.The reason why Yukimura is so tired is because he manages and pays attention to the mental state of the members, as well as the decisions that require his final decision.Sanada is the faceless one, and he also has a strong hand. It's not that he is incompetent, but that he has a lot of deviations in his mentality.

Back to Liu, his identity is one of Li Hai's main candidates, but in fact he can't represent Li Hai, so there are some things that Liu has no intention of doing.

The difference between the positions of Yukimura and Sanada was completely exposed because of the Qingxuan incident.
