[Net King] Dominate the whole country

challenge

The final of this year's national competition was later than in previous years. The organizer specially set aside a week and a half for the two teams to sharpen their strengths, but in fact it was special training.

Qingxue followed the tradition of previous years and a group of people ran to the deep mountains and old forests for training, while Yukimura calmly watched the progress, arranged the training according to his own pace, and did not intend to be led by the nose.

Liu is also very much in favor of this point.To be honest, the main candidates of Lihai University are all strong players at the national level. According to their work, they are at the level of eight "Tezukas". The room for improvement is limited. I have touched my own bottleneck, which is not a situation that can be improved through a short training session.

The only exception to this is probably the one-sided Kirihara. After a period of tempering, he has mastered the transformation from angelic to demonic.He was already on the rise, and now his strength is close to that of Liu, and he is no longer the little kelp who is overwhelmed by the Big Three.

The single-player strength of the golden partners of the two teams may still need to be improved, but as one of the few partners in the country who can reach the level of "coherence", it will be even more difficult for them to make further progress on the road to doubles.

Liu's data tennis has always been quite satisfactory, and it may take a period of time to accumulate and develop if he wants to achieve any breakthrough.As for Sanada, he doesn't want to be bound by the realm of selflessness, and he has devoted himself to studying the combination of kendo and tennis. If one day it is really completed, his strength will be greatly improved.

Although stuck in a bottleneck, everyone has their own direction of development, except Yukimura...

It is no longer a day or two for Yukimura to be trapped in the current state, not only him, Sanada and Liu also know this well.Although he can still be proud of the whole country with his current strength, his successors will never stop, cannot move forward, and will only be surpassed by others.

The terrible thing is that he can't find an opponent who can stimulate him to move forward.

On the eve of the final, more and more people wanted to come to the tennis club to watch, including students from our school, opponents from other schools, and even sports reporters flocking here.Although it is a national competition at the middle school student level, it still has a profound social impact.

The dark-faced Sanada acted as the door god, once again unkindly stopped the students from other schools who came to spy on the news, even the tennis reporters with their press cards did not give any convenience.The students of Lihai University have long been familiar with the temperament of the Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee, and none of them dared to step forward to make trouble. Looking at the cannon fodder that came to their door one after another, they could only express deep sympathy from the bottom of their hearts.

Yukimura, who was wearing a coat, walked into the tennis court with a smile on his face, patted Sanada with a serious expression, said a few jokes, and asked him to go to organize training first.

Liu Shushua took notes, saw Yukimura immediately stopped after Sanada Zhi left and asked, "Why, is the court open for non-tennis club members to enter?"

"Of course not." Yukimura shook his head with a smile, "It's meaningless to go on like this, and it will delay training. It seems that the best way is to go out for training."

Liu took it for granted.

Although Yukimura asked Sanada to retreat, he did not intend to let go of the control, and simply closed the outermost iron gate to prevent outsiders from entering.

The reporters looked at the tennis court just across the door and couldn't help beating their chests. They knew that they would have to get in even if they were disguised just now.

In the tennis court, non-selected players are doing basic exercises, and after that, they will practice 1V1 sparring.

The main candidates are scattered separately. At this juncture, it is up to themselves to seek a breakthrough. Yukimura and Liu are also unable to give specific training arrangements.

"There's still an empty field over there." Liu thought for a while, and put down the tennis bag on his back, "It seems that the two of us haven't practiced sparring for a long time."

Yukimura nodded and accepted.

This independent unused tennis court is the only clay court in Lihai University.

Yukimura put away the tennis bag, took out his racket, took off his jacket and walked into the court, bounced a few times, felt the flexibility of the court, and then began to warm up.

Clay courts are naturally very different from hard courts. Many excellent tennis players have been unable to overcome this difference throughout their lives. Players who are good at hard courts and grass courts often fail on clay courts.

It is not the first time for Yukimura to train on a clay court, but he is still very unfamiliar with this court.

Compared with Yukimura's eager excitement, Liu seemed much calmer and calmer.Specializing in data tennis, he has worked hard to understand various venues. Although the clay court is a major difficulty, it is indeed not an obstacle for him.

Practice starts immediately, and Yukimura serves.

He lightly flicked the little yellow ball in his hand, and it really felt more sluggish than usual.On soft courts like clay courts, when the ball hits the ground, there is greater friction with the ground, and the ball speed is slower, but its elasticity is much better than that of grass courts and hard courts.

Yukimura thought for a while, then tossed the ball high and scored with one serve.

Liu on the opposite side patted his head helplessly: "Hey, Jingshi, this is a practice match, don't use too much force."

Yukimura smiled: "Well, I didn't enter the state just now, I will pay attention to it next."

Serve again.

Sure enough, the speed of the ball was much more balanced this time, Liu easily received the ball and counterattacked quickly.As one of the few endurance players in Lihai University, his running, moving and balancing abilities are second to none.And with the support of a powerful database, Liu, who is good at calculation and has strong willpower, can play a far greater strength on the clay court than on the hard court.His style of play tends to be conservative, which is a bit passive on the hard court, but it is appropriate on the clay court.

Compared to Liu who is like a fish in water, Yukimura is a bit struggling. Of course, this does not mean that he is suppressed by Liu's strength, but that the court environment has caused some interference to him.Perhaps the impression of him standing still and returning the ball is so deeply rooted in people's hearts that many people forget that Yukimura is actually a speed player, with top-notch agility and control.Of course, compared to typical serve and net players like Echizen and Kirihara, Yukimura is more comprehensive.

The ball fell heavily on the clay, leaving a clear ball mark. It was obviously Yukimura who scored, but he seemed unhappy.

Without him, the clay court suppressed his speed and agility. Yukimura, who was originally good at speed battles, could not even perform at one-tenth of his level on the clay court.

It's time to adjust the strategy, Yukimura thought, his eyes became firmer.

Seeing this, Liu smiled slightly, without any nervousness, and kicked off the ball calmly.On the clay court where the ball speed is slow, his calculation ability can be described as unique. Originally, he was slightly inferior to Yukimura in speed, but this small shortcoming was also made up for by the limitation of the court.

Yukimura slowed down and started a tug of war with Yanagi.

This method tends to be conservative, which is not Yukimura's usual style, and prolonging the attack time is definitely not a good idea for Yukimura, who is not as physically strong as Liu.Thinking of this in Liu's heart, he only felt that Yukimura must have a countermeasure, so he became more and more cautious, not daring to act rashly.

Yukimura moved lightly on the clay court, and now he gradually mastered the rhythm of the game.

Liu Zhan made a prediction: "The chance of a diagonal shot is 80.00%." ​​After catching Yukimura's ball firmly, he made a fake move and aimed at Yukimura's neutral strike.

Yukimura frowned slightly, made an emergency stop and quickly adjusted his direction and rushed forward. This sliding step is quite beautiful, even though Liu had expected it, he still had to secretly praise in his heart-it is indeed Yukimura!

Seeing that Yukimura was getting better and better, Liu also stepped up his offensive and no longer waited for death. He aimed at the bottom line and finally broke the deadlock and scored easily.

Yukimura was taken aback, and squatted down next to the bottom line to observe carefully: "The boundary line is smoother than other places on the field, and the double rotation is superimposed, so there is such a wonderful stagnation in the air."

Yukimura saw the clue at a glance, lightly twisted the red soil with his fingers, and suddenly had a wonderful idea in his heart.

The game started again, and Liu was surprised to find that Yukimura began to use a lot of rotation, as if he was constantly trying to do something.Just when he was puzzled, the ball bounced back after hitting the ground and was firmly embedded in the protective net.

This power is astonishing.

Liu was puzzled at the beginning, and was repeatedly scored by Yukimura. It was only when he saw the small holes on the court that he had a flash of inspiration: "This is to use the natural unevenness of the court, and through the double superposition of the rotation and the court, create small balls with different ball speeds. Changes in different rotations and even different strengths." Liu secretly marveled at being able to use the court so skillfully, so quickly familiarize himself with the impact of different conditions on the ball and finally make use of it...It sounds complicated and even more difficult to implement.Liu glanced at Yukimura who was smiling across the way, and for some reason there was a trace of melancholy in his heart.

However, Liu didn't fully see Yukimura's plan.It wasn't until Yukimura rebuilt the entire court by controlling the strength of the ball and rotating it to hit each landing accurately that he discovered Yukimura's true intentions.

However, it was too late and Yukimura took the next round easily.

Liu Xin was convincing, although both of them had spare energy and didn't use their unique moves, but they could do this level with only basic moves, and there was no one else except Yukimura.

Yukimura played with all his heart, only to find out after the fight that he gave his friend an unglamorous "6-2".

Liu sighed, and felt that it was indeed difficult for Yukimura to improve his strength. First of all, he had to find an opponent who was stronger than him. Not only that, his IQ must also be much higher than him.

Yukimura hasn't done his best yet, but he can't bear to say more after seeing Liu's shocked appearance.

Unexpectedly, Liu stopped him, and the strange eyes opened looked very serious: "Jingshi, I know what kind of opponent you should find."

Yukimura raised an eyebrow, a little puzzled.

"...Echizen Minamijiro!

The author has something to say: This chapter is relatively dull, and it can be regarded as a transitional chapter. The next step is continuous high-energy. First of all, Mr. Echizen Nanjiro will be invited to appear! !
