Nioh-kun who can do anything

"Is this really necessary, Reinhardt?" Dudu O'Bundo, dressed in a hip-hop outfit, called their captain on the phone at the airport on the way from the United States to Japan.

It doesn't sound very interesting to be summoned by phone during the vacation, not for training, but to temporarily join a commercial team to play an open "friendly match" in the Far East.

"If it's just for the Japanese, there's no need to call all four of us here, right?" He glanced at the other companions around him, "Isn't our selection of junior players still in progress? Hart and Sen Bor’s selection is still kept secret. If he appeared with us in the Far East, wouldn’t the hyena-like media in China know their selection directly?”

On the other end of the phone, Reinhardt, who was facing the computer and the analysis report, said softly, "It's okay, there is another possibility. They signed a contract with Mr. Baker, didn't they?"

"Oh, that's too cruel for them." Dudu said bluntly.

Obviously he and the members of the business team that Baker belonged to stood together, and several people on the other side could also hear the conversation between him and Reinhardt.

The twin brothers who came out of the slums because of Baker's favor couldn't help glaring at Dudu.

But Du Du directly ignored their gazes.

Although he is well-known on the street and has some fans, please, this kind of completely commercial player is so far away from a professional player. He doesn't think he will really see this player in a professional game one day. To twin brothers.

Baker's commercial team doesn't have a good reputation in the industry.

Hart and Sembor, who were named, obviously thought so too.

They looked at Du Du, wanting a more definite answer - not long after they learned that they were selected for the national team, the first task they received was not to represent the players to gather for training, but to go to the Far East to compete. concern.

Seeming to feel the worry of the two, Reinhardt explained again: "Do you know Echizen Ryuya?"

"Echizen Ryuya... that wandering tennis player?" Du Du asked.

It’s a name that’s too similar to Echizen Ryoma, but maybe it’s because I’ve never seen any connection between Echizen Ryuya and Echizen Minamijiro (nor have they met in public), and foreigners really think they’re similar to Japanese people no matter how they look at them. , so before that, other people didn't feel that Echizen Ryuya and Echizen Ryoma could be linked together.

But at this moment, the name came out of Reinhardt's mouth, and then linked to the game they were arranged, the possibility of some speculation naturally increased.

"I was discussing with him about U17 joining the U.S. team. You know his strength." Reinhardt said, "Although he was ambiguous, his reaction when I mentioned Echizen Ryoma was really unusual."

"Need us to test it?" Du Du said.

Reinhardt did not give a definite answer: "Kabin's strength is not bad, let him test Echizen Ryoma. Our focus is still Yukimura Seiichi. As for Echizen Ryoma, it may be The bargaining chip we negotiated with Echizen Ryuya."

"You are really interested in Orientals." Du Du complained.

Reinhard didn't say anything, but hung up the phone.

Dudu took off his earphones.

It's not an external release, but the corresponding information can be obtained from Du Du's words.Chico Balentin, who heard it from the beginning to the end but didn't pay much attention, whistled and came over: "Think of it as a trip to the Far East! I haven't been to Japan yet."

"I made an appointment with my friends to go to a hip-hop concert." Du Du said.

The announcement at the airport to remind you to board the plane sounded.

Chico smiled and called Hart and Semper, while describing something about Echizen Ryuya.In fact, the owner of the club he belongs to is also interested in Yukimura Seiichi, and also participated in the previous youth tennis match.

"Long Ya is very strong, even stronger than me!" He said without hesitation, "If Long Ya can become our teammate, then we may be able to compete for the championship this year. To defeat those dead faces of the German team Guy!"

Hart and Semble, who didn't think the Toyo people were so powerful, looked at each other in blank dismay.

The time of the game was fixed when Baker had a phone call with the Tennis Association, and the venue was also rented in advance. When the US team's plane arrived in Japan, there was only one day before the start of the game, which would be enough for them to easily adjust the time difference.

Because of the restrictions on the number of players, Baker only brought the club's most popular twins to Japan this time.

"Where's Billy and Kebin?" As soon as he entered the reserved hotel, he tore off his tie annoyedly, "Did you inform them of the personnel change?"

The result of the negotiation with the owner of the club with more bargaining chips was that he retained the four places that belonged to his club.Although it is half and half, but I want to know that the players under him are simply not comparable to the few players who have been confirmed to enter the national team.

They're not from the same club, and those guys are still messed around by Reinhardt—!

Baker silently complained a few words, not wanting to be caught.You must know that Reinhardt is considered the most promising "future star" in the past few years to compete for the four Grand Slams, and he has also started to play in the professional ATP qualifiers.

"I spoke with Billy on the phone," his secretary said. "He found Kebin."

"Let them come back quickly and get ready!"

Baker gritted his teeth and thought, the best script left now is Kebin's Revenge of the Smith Family. He must confirm Kebin's current state.

Two days later, at nine o'clock in the morning, the game, which had already started selling tickets and advertised in advance, was held on time at the Oval Egg Stadium on the outskirts of Tokyo.

This venue will also serve as the venue for the national competition next month.It is not just a tennis court, but you can change the corresponding court layout and compete in different events. Although it is an indoor court, the "ceiling" above the head can be electrically controlled. When the weather is good, it can be used as an outdoor court. It can accommodate The number of viewers also exceeded [-] people.

"What a luxury."

The members of the Kanto Youth Team went home to rest for two days after the training camp. They came to Tokyo early in the morning to adapt to the venue.

This kind of venue has a corresponding game arrangement every day. The Koshien baseball game in Tokyo was still going on the day before, and the staff who maintained the venue changed the venue layout to a tennis court at night.

Somewhat lacking in sleep, Nioh yawned, and felt the elasticity of the ground when he pressed his legs: "Is the floor movable? You can't tell it at all."

"It's a relatively advanced technology product." Atobe calmly assessed, "But the location is still a bit off."

"In downtown Tokyo, the cost would be too high." Qianshi looked around, imagining how much the venue would cost if it were in a more prosperous area, and couldn't help but click his tongue.

But Atobe doesn’t think so: “If there is investment, there will be returns. Now this position is not high or low, and has undertaken many middle school leagues. However, most middle school leagues do not sell tickets to the outside world, but the corresponding organizing associations provide corresponding competition funds. Funding for this kind of competition is basically the same as the maintenance cost of the venue.”

After he finished speaking, he paused: "It's too wasteful for this kind of venue to make much money."

"Has the entrepreneur's radar sounded?" Nioh joked.

Atobe glanced at him, and said something that sounded a bit loud in a natural tone: "I don't do business at a loss. If you are too petty, you won't be gorgeous."

Kirihara, who had no idea how this place could be described as "small family spirit", was a little troubled thinking, could it be that his Chinese has not improved as much as he imagined?Can the word really be used like this?

The warm-up is divided into the preparation rooms on both sides, and the acclimatization to the court is also a separate time to enter the field. Before the start of the game, several members of the Japanese team did not see their opponents.

"The order of appearance hasn't been decided yet, right?" Fuji turned to look at Atobe, "What decision will Coach Sakaki make?"

"It's probably a temporary quota." Atobe shrugged, "Isn't it interesting to make contingencies before the start of the game?"

"Then maybe there will be surprises and shocks." Yukimura commented.

The players present were all familiar. Although they were from different schools and were former opponents, after ten days of training in the training camp, most of them became close friends.

At this time in the preparation room, everyone found a place to sit.

When I looked up, I realized that there was a big screen above my head.

When the switch is turned on, the scene outside the stadium is broadcasted in.

As the opening ceremony, Baker maintained the original arrangement and invited several popular singers recently.It is a contract signed in advance. Even if the players in the game are replaced, he can still use the reputation of some members of the national team.With this in mind, Baker did not break the contract.

At this time, the American Idol singing was shown on the TV.

The lounge of the Japanese team listened to English songs in silence for a while.

"Hmph, that's really exaggerated." Atobe commented.

Everyone else couldn't help looking at him, probably thinking something like "Is this considered exaggeration? Then your style is even more exaggerated".

After the opening ceremony, representatives from both sides of the competition delivered speeches.After Baker and the representatives of the Tennis Association made a brief speech, the game officially started.

The camera turned to the electronic screen on the side of the field.

The voice of the host also sounded.

"So, who are the players on both sides of the first team match of the Japan-US friendly match, the second doubles match? Let's count down, ten, nine, eight—"

When did this match become a Japan-US friendly match?

At the same time that the Kanto Youth players in the lounge had this idea, the countdown also reset to zero.They saw the names of the two people who will play in this game on the display.

"The Japanese team Keigo Atobe, Masaharu Nioh vs. the US team Chico Balentin and Semper Rich."

Nioh raised his eyebrows and stood up from his chair.

He turned his head, looked at Atobe, and joked: "For doubles, it's my home game."

"Hmph, I'm also good at doubles!" Atobe said not to be outdone.

If Renzu was at the scene, he would probably complain, "Atobe, where did you get the confidence to think that you are good at doubles? Is it the confidence that Huadi gave you?"It's a pity that Renzu is not here, and the rest of the representative team will not use Kansai accents to make some irritating remarks.

Nioh said "Puri", expressing an attitude similar to "wait and see".

He hunched over and picked up his racket.

Yukimura called him, "Noh, be careful with Chico."

"Puri?"

"He is a player who has signed a contract with a professional club." Yukimura paused and added, "But he is not yet an official professional player."

"Then there's no need to worry, Minister~" Nioh's ending sounded strangely uplifting.

Yukimura nodded with a smile and said nothing more.

After the two people who were going to play walked out of the waiting room, Sengoku turned around and asked Yukimura tentatively: "Professional player?"

"Ah, I've met you several times before." Yukimura replied with a smile.

Qian Shi sighed: "It seems that today is not as lucky as I imagined."
