[Net King] The Crown of Tennis

My name is Xu You.

My life began when I was three years old.The never-before-seen light brought me into a new world. To be precise, it was us. The Waking of Insects on March 3 is our common birthday.There are a lot of seniors there, and the person who raised me is one of the seniors——Chang Guyu.

It's not like a normal family is made up of parents, children, and maybe grandparents.We are one big family, stratified by "generations".

I am part of the fourth generation, Japanese.Senior Hase is the third generation. Under normal circumstances, I should call him "father", but this is not the rule in "family".As the fourth generation, the third generation is called "Senior", the second generation is called "Chang Gong", and the previous generation is often called by its title.There is also an old man over a hundred years old, whom we all respect as "You Gong", surnamed Xu, who is the beginning of this family and a doctor. In the "family", it is not like one parent and one parent raise their children, we are raising one generation after another.

Senior Hase is also a doctor, a surgeon.He is very busy, always reading, or going out.And after having one more me, he always finds some time to accompany me in a day.Tennis is his hobby. Sometimes it is rare for him not to read. He will play tennis. This is very special, and it does not match most of the seniors I know who go outing, play chess, or paint.

I was put on a courtside bench, and kids are always interested in moving things, and that's the case with tennis balls going back and forth on both sides of the net.Its arc in the air is wonderful, fast and slow, and it can turn, but it is not like those boxy and regular models built by humans, and it is much more interesting than the butterflies and bees in the flowers.After sitting for a long time, I was unwilling to do nothing, so I swayed to touch the replacement racket and tennis ball left on the bench.

how did you do that?

It is a small blue-yellow ball with white curves embedded in it, and it cannot be wrapped with hands. The fluff on the surface is very comfortable to the touch, but it is prickly when it is attached to the face.Then the ball was taken away by the senior, and he left a sentence - dirty, don't touch your face.

Turning my attention to the "big" racket, I saw the senior holding the racket casually with one hand, so I tried to do the same, and then I couldn't hold it firmly and fell directly to the ground-it was so heavy.

I have a strong interest in tennis, and Hase-senpai can see it.He was happy to interact with me in this way, so he prepared a shrunken tennis racket for me, and then taught me how to swing the racket, and he did not respond to other people's invitations.You probably think this is a perfect "parent-child" activity, right?

I finally had something to do besides reading, in fact, I liked playing tennis far more than reading.The perfect swing is exciting and addictive, an indescribable feeling that seniors classify as "talent".

Also different from ordinary families, no one advised Mr. Hase, or forced me: to study, to study medicine, or to learn many things.In fact, with the playfulness of a child, I do have a little interest in Go and writing big characters. As for painting and writing poetry, forget it.Also because of the temperament of children, I threw them away within a few months.

Only tennis is different.

When I grew up a little bit, I understood that Senior Hasegu read medical monographs, and usually went to work in laboratories or hospitals when he went out.These occupy most of his time, and the leisure is occupied by me.During that "most" time, aside from the necessary literacy, I was playing tennis.

I don't want to watch boring programs, and I don't want to read books.Repeated swings are pretty tedious, and I enjoy it.This is mysterious and mysterious, maybe I should get bored, or do something less tiring.The fact is no, tennis is very naughty, it doesn't always act as I think, maybe this is another sense, play?

Seven years old, the age to go to school.I left Senior Zhang Gu and came to a place in Chang'an.Perhaps it is the base camp of "home"?All four generations have been educated here, of course, to learn the most basic cognition.

There are no written exams, and there is no such thing as grades.Weird, but this is our home.

When people are born, they will be expected. In ordinary families, the expectations are: a happy family, a successful career, money, and going to the upper class... Make efforts to pursue it.And the people in the "family" have no blood relationship, and are more or less indifferent, so what is the meaning of our life?

Extending from the top to the bottom, the predecessors have only one expectation: to find their own way.

Decide on the path you are willing to devote your whole life to, and then one day you will be enlightened—to gain the Tao.

Very contradictory, right?Obviously living with a "middle" attitude, but the whole life is pursuing "extreme".

The index of respect at home is different from that of the outside world. We respect doctors the most, which is related to the origin of "family".

Start studying medicine at the age of four or five, and learn a system when you are weak; you may be able to make small achievements and cure some minor diseases when you are not in doubt; Rejuvenation", and then what?The sixtieth, the ancient, and even the octogenarian are still learning, and they will never learn completely, and they will never come to an end.

This is the way of medicine, so what is my way?

Is it tennis?I don't know, I didn't have a concept of life at that time, in other words, I wasn't ready yet.I was not outstanding in the academy, I was not good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I didn't like to recite poems and compose Fu, let alone dance, I didn't know medicine, and I had no interest in literature and theory.

Just play tennis.And a subtle flair for language.

Very confused, I am indeed the best tennis player among my generation, and I can even compete with Senior Hase and the others.But it's useless because they don't go this way.Among the first three generations, there are the most medical leaders, and there are more or less traces of predecessors in other fields.No one has touched tennis, not even a "footprint" in the field of sports competition.

"Why worry? You are a pioneer." This is what the elders of the lecturer of the literature and philosophy class said, "let nature take its course."

When I was 13 years old, I returned to Hase-senpai during the Chinese New Year holiday. Xu was noticed because of his distress. He wanted me to relax, so he downloaded some cartoons to me on the player.

"I do not want to see."

"Look, it's always a necessary experience for a child. Hahaha."

"..."

"It's all about tennis."

"Ok."

In order, the first one is the hottest "The Prince of Tennis".To be honest, I think that kind of tennis trajectory is quite weird, but as a child, cartoons were still very attractive to me at that time, with a variety of skills and moves, and a compact game process, as long as you don’t think about it, it’s still pretty good. .

And then came the first horror of my life—being sick is going to ruin tennis.

Being sick can take away from tennis, no one ever said that to me.The two people in the picture are still talking, and I turned off the player to try to calm down.

"Maybe I won't be able to play tennis?" I couldn't help asking during dinner.

Senior Hase was silent in a rare way, and then responded cautiously: "Xiaoyou, the body of an athlete is powerful but also fragile."

That is to say?

The panic lasted for four or five days, and then it was suppressed in my heart.It's just that the racket is usually held tighter.

Taking the time to look down, one sentence made me completely remember the unreal characters in the picture.

"Tennis is me." There is a sense of clarity that hits the heart, and I feel ashamed.

So do I think so too?Tennis is myself.But there has never been such awareness.And now, with it.

Tennis is very important. Practicing tennis is something you will do even if it is boring. Playing a game is a joyful and exciting thing. Even if you fall and fall, you can get up with a smile, wipe it off and continue.I want to get closer and closer to tennis until it fits perfectly.I want to know how tennis competition will feel in the end, and what kind of state is that?

It's amazing that I actually resonate with a person who doesn't exist in reality.

Watching with interest came to an abrupt end during the youth selection. When one of the singles’ names on the big screen was erased and replaced by another person’s name, I picked up the magazine on the coffee table and fanned it to the monitor, turning off the player. .

I came back from the summer vacation and continued to watch its national competition chapter. I have to say that the tennis player of that person really fit my idea again, using simple movements to fight back tennis balls with various cool light effects, and psychologically suppress them.I hugged myself and tried to stay calm after he got caught up in the flashback.

"...never play tennis again," said the voice.

The restrained dread turns into a sense of absurdity with the ending.

How did you feel when you first played tennis?Playing tennis happily?

This is, what an attitude!

Do you play tennis for entertainment like a child?As a way to play for fun?

How can you win the game like this!Why can it be called the highest state!

The display gets slapped a second time by the magazine.

There is a voice that asks me to refute this absurd point of view, to prove that it is correct to compete for victory, and to prove that the realm of "tennis is me" is based on the high end.

I went to senior Shen from the entertainment group at home. At first I just wanted to make a short video. With the current level of technology at home, I have seniors to help. This is a handy thing.But then inexplicably turned into a short-story project.

"......TV drama?"

"Yes." Senior Jun Xi stood in front of the virtual image, swiping his hands left and right, "It just so happens that the development over there has come to an end, and there are no outsourcing projects that I am interested in. If Xiaoyou wants to shoot, he just happens to experience it."

"...No, I don't want to be an actor..."

"It's okay, it's rare for Xiaoyou to be impulsive and willful." Senior Ning Ze from the legal team came to deliver the document bag, "It's done. I think it's quite interesting."

"Forehead......"

"The script is done."

Although I know that three generations (there will be four generations in the future) have devoted their efforts to the big project that is still in the research and development stage, just because of You Gong's words.But...I don't seem to have that status?

I feel that I have caused too much trouble for the seniors, but the seniors arranged everything neatly and eagerly let me play the leading role.

"It's enough to act in your true colors."

It happened to be 14 years old, and the black and brown short hair that reached the ears was put on a dark blue long hair headgear, and then a white sweatband on the forehead.I'm a little nervous, after all, I'm going to play a like-minded "friend".Well, although he doesn't really exist.

Yukimura-kun's Young Shunran is played by my good friend Xu Jun. His path was established early on. He is a swordsmith and knows how to use a sword.It is luckier than me to have a senior lead him to start.It was unbearable for me to stay in the furnace room all day, but he just stayed there.Presumably he felt the same way about me snuggling up on the tennis court?

He is indifferent to his role.This is his way of saying that the past is hard and easy to break, so in his eyes, these characters are all "swords"?Fortunately, he himself usually has a rigid face, although the inside is not as positive as it appears.

My first problem: the coat.

It is too difficult to move around in a jacket. Out of the stubbornness of a child, I seriously reject all kinds of high-tech from my predecessors, but after I have practiced it, I have a strange sense of accomplishment.Probably in the second semester.

I don't have the experience of fighting for team battles with others. Sometimes my performance always dissatisfies the seniors who are directors, and the same goes for other colleagues of the same generation.After coming and going, there is a subtle companionship of fighting together, just like in the original book, only Yukimura is chasing the way of tennis, while the other partners have their own paths in their lives.

The interpretation on the tennis court is the smoothest.The seniors asked me to play against the opponent as usual, swing the racket normally, move and think normally.They hate unrealistic special effects, even though they have the ability to make it natural or even gouged.

"Xiaoyou's movements are very beautiful."

I praised my senior for not being able to play tennis and pursuing action design. This sincere comment made me blush with joy, and I was delighted to be affirmed by a knowledgeable senior.When I'm on the court, I can't help but wonder: Could that guy do that too?Perfect and natural.Just like playing the piano with your eyes closed, you can make the clouds in the sky stop and listen.

"Xiaoyou is very different on the tennis court."

When the filming started, I had no idea that it would attract so many people—the same generation, the previous generation, and even the grandpa.What about researching?

"Haven't everyone watched acting? It's also a kind of life experience. Besides, Xiaoyou's movements are really beautiful."

Ahh, I know.Live with a "medium" attitude.

Like the two sides of everything, I had pain followed by joy.

I'll never forget shooting the hospital scene, it was a real nightmare.

After drinking a bowl of soup, my hands and feet became numb and weak. For the first time, I experienced the feeling of the racket falling out of my hand.I can't hold anything, I can't grasp anything, I can't even walk.The tennis ball and I were severely torn apart, the gentle face began to distort, and the most authentic expression was interpreted.I was the one who hit the big shots on the tennis court, and now I have to be helped with my normal movements.The choking in my throat made me whine meaningless syllables, as well as a forced smile in this state.The future does seem to be getting darker.

When the effect of the medicine has passed, there are still some fragments that will be performed in the future.

I was soothed to drink the second bowl again, in an attitude of extreme resistance.

The first game after that was played with hands and feet gradually numb—the scene where everyone was in the hospital after the Kanto finals.

Perhaps Yukimura was indignant because of his responsibility for his [-]-game winning streak in the Kanto region, and my heart-piercing cry stemmed from the pain of being disconnected from the road of tennis again, the pain of being separated from the place I longed for again .Wandering about the future, resenting the present moment.

The last scene was the scene in front of the ward, with my left hand against the wall, and then I heard the judgment of the people in the room.

"...Probably won't be able to play tennis anymore."

The weak arms that were holding on to the wall, and the legs that could only move in small steps seemed to confirm this.

I can't play tennis anymore.

My Word is ruined.

"Crack."

Lie down on the ground from the position of leaning against the wall, then curl up and struggle with your head covered.

"Ah...ah..."

"Xiaoyou!"

"It's okay, it's okay, ah."

"It's only temporary, it will be fine in a while."

"It's only temporary."

Pillowing on the senior's right shoulder, the wig was removed, the soft short hair was stroked and comforted, the whole body was shaking, the hands were hanging limply, the face was still distorted, and tears were streaming down.

"Temporarily, temporarily. Xiaoyou is healthy."

"Well......"

"Don't worry, Xiaoyou is healthy, we are all here."

I am very grateful, although it is the image that was created, I am really grateful.Seiichi Yukimura set me firmly on that path.

At the age of 14 in August, you completed the mission of the national competition, put on the tennis crown, and started your life in the future; at the age of 14, in August, I completed my interpretation of you and embarked on my own journey.

Tennis is endless, no matter what happens in the future, I will go on.

20 years old, 30 years old, 40 years old, until I can no longer run fast, until I can no longer hold my racket.

Tennis is my life.

and so--

Until the dead.

The author has something to say:

It's a drama, Xu You is the performer of Yukimura.

I will show the details in the postscript.

The last little theater—————

A tea house on a certain day——

Yukimura: Do we need a private room for the two of us, Fujiwara-senpai?

Fujiwara: Alright, let's go in.

Yukimura, who entered the room, was sprayed with ribbons on his head and shoulders.

Yukimura: ...[Fujiwara-senpai is unreliable? ]

Omi: Congratulations to the three consecutive champions!Minister Yukimura!

Yukimura looked at Fujiwara: Senior?

Fujiwara closes the door: Congratulations, Minister Yukimura.

Kaminaga: Don't blame Fujiwara, it was unanimously approved after our discussion.

Yukimura: Is...Kaminaga-senpai?

Masuda (laughs): Minister Yukimura, they are all people who have broken their hearts for Li Hai. It is rare that there are so many people, let's get together.

Yukimura: Hmm...

The tea party is over.Iori gave a glance, the ministers all stood up, and Yukimura was patted back to his seat by Fujiwara.

Eight people lined up in front of Yukimura and bowed: Thanks for your hard work, Minister Yukimura.

Yukimura: Senior!  …

Yagami: Never mind, you deserve it.

Kaminaga: That's right, you are Rikkai's best minister.

Nakajima: For the rest of the tennis journey, let's work hard, Yukimura-kun.

Takeshita: We will pay attention, you are very strong, Yukimura-kun, in various senses.

Tateishi: This is our return gift, and also a thank you, Yukimura-kun.

Omi: Thank you for taking so much for Rikkai, Minister Yukimura.

Masuda: We can understand how you feel.

Fujiwara: Yukimura, thank you for your hard work.

Yukimura: ...Ah...Thank you...Thank you.
