Nioh-kun who can do anything

When Nioh beat Hiyoshi 6-0, the game between Kirihara and Sengoku was still in a stalemate.When he finished stretching and drank half a bottle of sports drink, the game on the court did not show any clear trend.

It will probably drag on for a long time, this game.Even though Kirihara's explosive power seemed to overwhelm Qianshi at this moment, Qianshi rescued the tennis ball in a panic, and finally managed to maintain the stalemate.And if the situation continues to develop according to this trend, the balance will gradually lean towards Qianshi.

Because Kirihara is not good at protracted warfare.

His physical fitness is not bad, but the devil state is a way of playing that consumes a lot of mental power. After he integrated some skills and inspiration from the selfless realm into the devil state, the devil state consumes even more.

Until he finds a balance point, or he finds a new way to integrate the realm of selflessness into his tennis, this consumption problem and the problem of mental instability caused by the demon state cannot be solved for the time being.

And Qianshi noticed.

After the game entered a stalemate, it became more and more see-saw. Later, Kirihara's advantage became less and less, while Qianshi maintained a stable state and slowly caught up with the score.

The score finally stopped at 6-6, which was a tie.

If it enters the tiebreaker, there is a high probability that Qianshi will win.Although Qianshi was sweating profusely and his face didn't look good, his breathing was still rhythmic, and his muscle contraction was still brewing with strength. He pretended to be okay, but the hand holding the racket trembled a little.

"Damn it, it's only a little bit..." Kirihara muttered.

It's not just a little bit, Nioh knows.

In the eyes of others, these two practice games are just the same as daily training, nothing special.But in fact, Coach Sakaki has observed what he wants to confirm through these two games.

He circled Qianshi's name in his office.

But a phone call changed his mind.

"U.S.... national team?"

"Yes." It was Kurobe's call. "It's news from foreign scouts. You know, it's really hard for them businessmen to keep secrets."

"What's the purpose?" Sakaki asked directly.

"A little curious about Yukimura-kun?" Kurobe paused after finishing speaking, "Of course it's not just that, you also want to test the strength of our national team reserve team before the game starts? This year, junior high school will join the U17 competition list. The national team needs to make adjustments. The proportion of junior high school students is rigidly stipulated, and it is stipulated that the players cannot be repeated during the group stage, so junior high school students must be an important part of the national team."

"They also want to confirm the strength of Echizen Nanjiro's son," Kurobe said.

Sakaki thought for a moment: "Speaking of which, Echizen-senpai has an American green card."

"That's right."

"Echizen Ryoma theoretically also has American citizenship." Coach Sakaki continued, "He can represent the US team."

"Let me remind you of the rules of the World Cup." Kurobe said, "There is no nationality requirement. Even if he is not an American citizen, he can still represent the American team."

After a few seconds of silence between the two, Kurobe hesitated and said, "No way?"

"It depends on what Echizen-senpai thinks." Sakaki was calmer than Kurobe, "If it's a good opportunity, I think the children should seize it."

"After all, you are not the coach of the national team." Kurobe stabbed.

Sakaki, who is indeed not the coach of the national team and considers himself just an ordinary music teacher: "Anyway, thank you for the news, I will take it into consideration."

"Arrange the roster properly." Kurobe emphasized his tone, "That's the U.S. national team!"

"Can you confirm how many members of the national team there will be?" Sakaki asked.

Kurobe: "Definitely not all of them."

"If you can't be sure, then follow my idea." Sakaki said.

In the end, Kurobe could only give one definite message, that is, as the captain of the US team and a professional player, Reinhardt will not participate in this "exploration".

At the same time, Kebin, who has been promoted by Baker, will still participate in this competition-the advertisements have been published, and if he does not appear, it is a scam. Baker will be "torn apart" by angry Americans who bought tickets to watch. broken.

The worst scenario is that, except for Kebin, everyone else is replaced by players from the US national team.

But it is unlikely that Baker can accept this situation of completely marrying for someone else?Sakaki thinks not.Baker must have his own calculations to market the publicity scene to such an extent.

So a conservative estimate, a [-]-[-] ratio.

And if so...

Coach Sakaki picked out Kirihara's photo again.

On the last day of the training camp, Coach Sakaki announced the selection list for the youth selection team.

"Likai University Affiliated High School, Yukimura Seiichi; Likai University Affiliated High School, Nioh Masaharu; Rikkai University Affiliated High School, Sanada Genichiro; Hyotei Gakuen, Atobe Keigo; Youth Academy, Fujisuke; Youth Studies Sono, Echizen Ryoma; Likai University Affiliated Middle School, Kirihara Akiya." Coach Sakaki said, "In addition to the above seven official players, the substitute player is Yamabuki Middle School, Sengoku Kiyoshi."

It is to replace the original candidate.

If it is a member of the U.S. national team, it would be too dangerous to play Tezuka, who seems to have recovered from his hand injury but still needs some recuperation time.

Coach Sakaki doesn't want Tezuka's injury to worsen in this "Japan-US friendly match".

Sakaki saw how Atobe contacted the nursing home in Germany, and how he sent a recommendation letter to Mr. Ryuzaki through the school channel.He knew that Atobe was a gentle child, but he was always noncommittal to the extent of being a good person and doing good deeds without leaving a name.

When I was helping Yukimura-kun, I called him personally to admit my help, but instead of Tezuka, I hid it behind my back at first...

Of course, Coach Sakaki will be in a delicate mood.

It doesn't look like it, but as the coach of Bingdi, he actually still cares about these children very much.

He is an objective and strict person. When the commercial team was used as the imaginary opponent, Tezuka was a good enough candidate.The strength is sufficient, and the skills of the young players of the commercial team are also within the range he can handle.

But if you switch to the national team, although Sakaki is not the coach of the national team, he certainly knows Kurobe's troubles and the difficulties the Japanese national team is facing in the World Cup.

It is a tough opponent and a cruel reality.

The US team is not as "cruel" as some other teams in the world, but it is the national team, not some random soldiers.

Speaking of which, how many of the eight Kanto youth representatives selected today can become members of the national team after entering the U17 training?

The quota for the national team is 14, if all eight are selected...

Of course, Coach Sakaki also has such ambitions.And the more this is the case, the more serious he will take this competition!

Qianshi who was selected seemed a little surprised, but Kirihara had an expression of "Sure enough, I'm that strong".

In the other teams that were not selected, some people were a little bit dissatisfied, while others didn't expect to be selected at all.

They were whispering.

"A team of eight people, are all four from Lihai University?"

"That's Li Haida! Do the math, isn't it normal for four people?"

"Actually, I thought that all the four heavenly kings would be selected? It turned out that Kirihara-kun was selected instead of Liu-jun."

"Yu in this training camp... eh? Why don't I have any memory? Is my memory wrong?"

……

Indeed, he hid himself in the training camp. Liu Xiaowei, who had decided to focus on data collection early in the training camp, said: As a data tennis player, he has already harvested a lot of unique data.To be honest, if it was a choice between him and Kirihara, then he hoped that Kirihara would get this opportunity.

He is already in the third grade, and Kirihara is still in the second grade, and he still needs to grow further.

Both Yukimura and Nioh noticed Liu's somewhat contradictory "elderly" mentality.

King Ren made a few complaints at most, saying that as a staff officer, you should play more of the role of a military adviser instead of treating yourself as a complete staff member.

Yukimura will carefully confirm whether Liu really decided to do this.

"After all, I don't intend to become a professional player." Liu said privately to Yukimura, "I have my life goals and professional ideals. As for Akaya, although he is still a little ignorant now, if he has the opportunity to touch the professional world, let him go. In front of him, he will not give up."

"Is this the reason why you decided to give up the opportunity?" Yukimura went one step further and asked Liu to give him a more definite answer.

This is forcing a question, and it is also implying that Liu will think carefully before giving an answer.

But Liu didn't change his mind.

"That's right." He said, "It's not self-sacrifice. It's just a choice after weighing the pros and cons. I haven't lost anything."

If Liu confirms that he really does not want to develop into the world of professional tennis, then his concession now, or his "hiding", does not represent a loss.

"I understand." Yukimura said, "I will respect your decision."

It's a little pity, for Yukimura.

The partners of Lihai University are an important part of his life, and he has gradually grown up through the three years of experience in Lihai University.

It is in Lihai that he has experienced responsibility, obligation, being a leader, becoming a leader, and also becoming an existence that supports other people. The transformation completed in Lihai's three years of junior high school is an important first part of Yukimura's life.He also joked that for him, everyone in the tennis team is his "lover".

He has confirmed his goal since he was a child, and tennis is a very important ideal for him.

The important partners I met in the process of pursuing my ideals, it would be great if I could always walk together.

But that's almost impossible.

It's like the seniors who gave him a lot of help at the time chose more targeted high schools after graduation, gave up tennis, and chased their own lives.How many of the partners who are working with me now will eventually embark on the career path?

Yukimura understood what Liu was thinking.Liu thinks that Kirihara will be willing to go in the direction of career, so he will be willing to take a step back and push Kirihara again.

But what about Kirihara?

Will Sanada, who grew up together, continue to play tennis?Or will they return home and "inherit the family business"?

What about Nioh who has been getting stronger and can surprise people every time?Always has the attitude of a game of life, but only devotes and works hard in tennis.Such a companion will always go together, right?

Yukimura felt a little sentimental because of Liu's words.He thought for a while, then raised his head and smiled: "It's too early for me to think about what to do now."
