[Net King] Promoted to God

Chapter 65

On the second day, everyone got up very early, and before breakfast, they had already obtained a detailed list of the competition's schedule.

Although it is the same every year, considering that there will be junior high school students participating this year, maybe the rules will change a bit.

The group stage is actually 32 into 16, a total of 8 groups, and the group stage is carried out at the same time, each group has 6 games (48 games in total), divided into three days, and each group has two games per day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon (same time) 8 games at different times and places at the same time).

The group stage is just a preliminary screening session, and there won't be too many spectators, so the schedule is also densely packed.

The schedule of the Japanese team is: the first game of Group B this morning is Greece against Japan, the third game of Group B the next morning is Australia against Japan, and the sixth game of Group B in the afternoon of the third day is Switzerland game against Japan.

The top two in the group stage can qualify as the top 16 and advance to the knockout round (16 to 8). The knockout round is better than the group stage. It is divided into two days. Its itinerary is:

Group A first vs Group B second = winner 1, Group B first vs Group A second = winner 2. (concurrently on the morning of the first day)

Group C first vs Group D second = winner 3, Group D first vs Group C second = winner 4. (concurrently in the afternoon of the first day)

... (and so on)

After the top 8 qualify for the quarter-finals (8 into 4), the audience will start to increase sharply at this time, and the game will become one game a day (a total of four days).

The schedule is:

Winner 1 vs Winner 3 = Winner A

Winner 2 vs Winner 4 = Winner B

... (and so on)

The next step is the semi-finals of the top 4. From here, it is much simpler, and the game is still one game a day.

The schedule is:

Winner A vs Winner C

Winner B vs. Winner D

After that, there is no need to repeat the finals and the No.3 battle.

***

According to the schedule, the first game today is the Greek team vs. the Japanese team. Coach Mifune announced the roster of the Song team. After that, everyone watched the game through the screen in the lounge of the Japanese team.

"Is Squad Song a loose team?" Irie asked while looking at his less motivated companions on the screen.

"When will you make cold jokes?" Atobe turned his head and looked at Irie.

"Isn't it?" Irie smiled.

At the same time, the words of Tanejima and Tono came on the screen——

Tanejima: "Even if our 'Pine Squad' loses in the first round, it won't be a problem!☆"

Tono: "Just leave the mess to the boss of Byodoin Temple and the Ghost Squad!"

"These guys..." Atobe felt powerless.

"Don't worry," Yukimura stood with his arms folded, "Once the game starts, they won't lose."

"Moonlight will go all out!" Mao Li looked at his partner who was good at the first game and said, "But... that egg head is too nervous?"

"Oishi is like this, but he is very useful at critical moments! He is the mother of our Japanese team~" Talking about the members of Qinggaku, Fuji replied with a smile.

Fuji turned his head and found that Yukimura's eyes seemed to be fixed on the two players of the Greek team, "What happened to them?" Fuji asked softly.

"Hmm...it's nothing," Yukimura shook his head, "Just seeing them reminds me of the plaster figures I used for sketching."

Bu Er also looked over, sure enough, the Greek players looked quite artistic, and one of them had a beard that covered half of his face.

"Is that bearded man really younger than 17?" Marui asked as he unwrapped a piece of chewing gum.

Others were silent.

Nioh poked Marui, then pointed at Oni.

Marui didn't dare to ask any more.

The crowd continued to watch the game. As soon as the Greek team's "naive tail" came out, it gave the Japanese team a blow.

But also the same, when it was the Japanese team's turn to serve, Ochi's Mach's serve also shocked them.

"This is Ochi Moonlight's 'Mach Serve' that lifted [-]% of the power limit!" Byodoin said.

"Ah, [-]% strength limit..." Atobe looked at Maori, "You only used [-]% strength when you competed with me?"

Maori felt the eyes from front and back (Nioh), shrugged, "This is the request of the boss."

Maori successfully pushed the pot to Byodoin.

"Hmph!" Atobe snorted coldly, and glanced at Irie who was smiling again.This group of high school students are all so cunning.

On the field of competition, the more intelligent Mach's serve will basically not be received, and the serve will be saved no matter what.

Although Oishi was a little nervous at the beginning, under Ochi's comfort, his emotions returned to normal. Not only that, perhaps because he received Ochi's mental power comfort, he and Ochi even entered the same tune!

"Ahh... I've never been attuned to Moonlight before." The official partner Mao Li said dejectedly.

"Would you like to try?" Ochi suddenly appeared next to Maori.

Mao Li was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that this was the phantom of King Ni, "Do you even dare to bully your senior?"

"Pi yo~" Nio released the phantom, and quickly hid behind Yukimura.

Although Ochi and Oishi's synergy is a bit worse than Oishi and Kikumaru's true heart-to-heart harmony, it is far superior in terms of strength.

"The game is over, the score is 7-5, 6-4, the Japanese team won, the set is 2-0"

Ochi and Oishi played a good start, and the morale of the Japanese team soared!

The next match is singles No. [-], and the Japanese team will send Tono Atsukyo.

"Wait to be executed by me!!" Tono laughed loudly.

The opponent of the Greek team was a big guy with classic curly hair, but his beard was a little less than one less, but it was connected from the left sideburn to the right sideburn, at least not covering his neck.

This game was played extremely fiercely, both sides almost played violent tennis, directly greeting each other's body.

But in the end, the Greek team was even better.

"The end of the game, score 6-7, 6-4, 7-5, Greece won, set 2-1"

Next up is Doubles One, Shiraishi and Kirihara.

"A team of two junior high school students?" Atobe pondered for a while.

After seeing Ochi lift the [-]% strength limit, everyone was a little worried about the pairing of the two junior high school students.

Shiraishi removed his golden sheath before he was good at it, while Kiri went all out from the beginning, looking full of motivation.

"What did you say to him?" Liu turned to ask Yukimura, who had seen Yukimura talking to Kirihara before the game.

"I told Chiya, if he loses, he just waits! Of course, if he wins..." Yukimura smiled mysteriously.

so what?

Several people present asked in their hearts.

But obviously, with Kirihara's mind, he didn't notice this at all. He probably thought that as long as he won, he would be safe.

1000 Comments on Small Theater:

This is a very ordinary day. With the help of the deputy minister, our Minister Kirihara successfully covered up the fact that he was accidentally late again.

But when he arrived at the tennis club, he found several trucks parked outside.

"What happened?" He stepped forward and asked.

"Minister Kirihara, it's your courier." Pu Shan pointed to the adult man in overalls and said.

Kirihara looked at his deputy director blankly, and his deputy director also spread his hands towards him blankly.

"Mr. Akaya Kirihara?" The courier stepped forward, "Please sign for the courier."

"I didn't buy anything." Kirihara said.

"Yes, this is a gift for you, a total of one thousand pieces!" said the courier.

Kirihara signed for the receipt in a daze, and then asked his staff to help him remove the boxes.

Kirihara figured it must be a belated gift from Santa Claus (whom he firmly believed existed), so he excitedly opened one of the boxes.

"Candles?" Kirihara looked at the box full of candles, confused.

He opened other boxes—candles, candles, candles... candles!

A whole thousand boxes of candles!

At noon, Kirihara told the seniors in the high school about it.

Yukimura touched the successor's head tenderly, then smiled and said, "This belongs to you."

"Do you need us to light it for you?" Nioh took out a lighter.

The author has something to say: ①The rules refer to the Football World Cup, but the author does not know how to count points, so the priority of points is removed.

The group stage will not be written in detail_(:з」∠)_
