The Son of God is the Judge

Yukimura was a little ashamed. Although he did have the title of "Son of God", it didn't mean that he really had anything to do with the gods.

He is indeed his father's child, not a descendant left behind by some god... What's more, "Son of God" is just the praise of his tennis skills from the outside world, and it cannot be taken seriously.

But Yukimura couldn't say that, although he thought it was just a coincidence.

"If there are too many coincidences, it can't be called a coincidence." Liu reminded: "Do you remember how many times you have drawn byes and opponents forfeited, Jingshi?"

Yukimura: ...

I really don’t remember, who would be free to remember these things.

Liu really counted.He held the notebook and calmly read out all the lottery draws from Country [-] to Country [-] Xingcun.

"But that doesn't mean anything." Yukimura was dying.

Liu Weiwei opened his eyes: "Once or twice can't explain anything - but you are like this every time."

After listening to Liu's data, the junior high school students and high school students who watched showed "unclear" expressions.

"It's a pity that there will be no lottery next, otherwise we might be able to reach the final." Taneshima showed a regretful look.Except for the opponents in the first round of the knockout round, which is drawn by lots, the next few rounds are determined based on points.

The Japanese team has won two games in a row in the group stage, and the opponents are all countries ranked higher than it. It is conceivable that the opponents in the next game will not be too easy to deal with.

But no one expected that they would face France first.

"Everyone, our opponent for tomorrow has come out." Gan said with a serious expression, "It's France."

Mitsuya went on to say: "Tomorrow's second round of the knockout round - also known as the quarter-finals, if we win, according to the points, our opponent in the semi-finals will be Germany."

The news brought by Mitsuya and Qian surprised all the team members present.

"The world's top four, counting the upcoming match against France, we have already played three of them, right?" Daqu sat on the sofa with a bitter face, "Aren't we playing a game, but collecting stamps?"

I have to say that this analogy is very vivid. The top four in the world refer to Germany, Switzerland, France and Spain - counting France who will play tomorrow, it is already three-quarters. They may even play against the German team twice !

On this point, Atobe has a different view. "Isn't this just right?" Atobe brushed his hair, "I won't lose this time."

The fact that Tezuka shaved his head in the warm-up match made Atobe brooding. He is not the same as Sanada.Sanada lost to Tezuka at first, but he won it back!And he won against Tezuka at first, but he didn't even get a point in the warm-up match.

Atobe is not the only one who wants to play against the current Tezuka.Yukimura raised his eyes and glanced around. Among the junior high school students in the meeting room, Fuji, Atobe, Kite, and Echizen all expressed their desire to compete with Tezuka more or less. Among the 14 junior high school students Almost half of the list is made up.

This is a very high percentage.

What surprised Yukimura was not here, but that Sanada didn't show any intention of fighting with Tezuka.

"I thought you would want to fight Tezuka." After the meeting ended, Yukimura and Sanada walked back to the dormitory side by side.

Sanada was silent for a while.

"I've already defeated him once, that's enough." Sanada twitched the corner of his mouth, and said the second half of the sentence unwillingly but relieved: "You know, I don't have much time, Yukimura."

Yukimura understood.

Becoming a professional tennis player wasn't in Sanada's plans; his childhood wanted to be a policeman.His innate sense of responsibility and admiration for his grandfather made him choose the latter between "tennis" and "police".If there is no accident, Sanada will be admitted to a special police academy after graduating from high school-he only has a few years left to play tennis.

And Sanada wants to defeat all undefeated opponents in the few years left.In this list, Yukimura, senior Byodoin, Senior Tanejima and Senior Omagari may also be in there.In front of these people, Tezuka, who had already been defeated by him once, naturally had to stand back.

"I'm waiting for you to defeat me." Yukimura said with a smile.

The coaching staff is in a meeting.

After entering the knockout round, the competition system and rules have also been changed accordingly.The group stage is a one-set match, while the knockout match has become a three-set match, which puts higher demands on the physical strength of the players, and players with weak physical strength may not even be able to play the whole game.

This is one of the points that the coaching staff must consider when arranging the roster.

Another point is the changeable rules after the World Cup enters the knockout rounds.

The first and second rounds of the knockout rounds—that is, the quarter-finals and quarter-finals adopt the same doubles first and then singles competition mode as the group stage.The semi-finals and finals are singles and doubles.

"Although there is no rule that players can only play once after entering the knockout round, the physical strength of junior high school students...it is still a little bit reluctant to play two games in a row." Coach Tuozhi said with a frown.No one among the coaches present knew the physical strength of this group of middle school students better than him.

Asians are slightly weaker than Europeans in terms of physical fitness (not absolutely). Not to mention middle school students, it is not a small burden for high school students to play all three sets.

"In terms of candidates, please consider carefully." Coach Kurobe sighed, "Don't mess around in the knockout round, head coach."

Kurobe's words drew nods of approval from Saito and Takusaki.

From the beginning of the warm-up match, the list that coach Sanchuan makes every time feels like a nonsense to them.Perhaps the coaches of the three boats really have their own understanding and what they failed to notice, but it is undeniable that every time they see the list of players, they always feel that their heartbeat has soared to [-].

Mifune sneered and waved his hands.

"I'm the head coach!"

The three coaches looked at each other and left the room helplessly.

Outside the room, they came across Byodoin Phoenix.

"It's for Watanabe-san." Coach Saito pointed out the purpose of Byodoin with a smile.

Byodoin hummed, with an inexplicable look on his face.He nodded to the three coaches as a greeting, and then knocked on the door of the three ship coaches.

After watching Byodoin Temple enter the door, Saito took out his mobile phone with a smile and sent a message to Tanejima and Kimijima respectively.

Kurobe and Tuozhi watched the whole process: ...

Kurobe held his forehead with a slight headache: "Don't make any trouble."

After being their coaches for three years, all three of them understood: Jundao and Zhongdao are just two guys who are afraid of chaos.

Saito curled his hair with his fingers, noncommittal: "If you do something good, you have to let others know."

"But, don't forget, there is something in the room of coach Sanchuan." Tuozhi reminded, "They can't be injured these days."

Saito raised his index finger and shook it: "Coach Mifune may have already guessed it." He will not let these children get hurt.

At the same time, in the room of the coach of the three ships.

"Tomorrow's singles match, please let Duke play." Byodoin asked.

Coach Sanchuan ignored him, but picked up the wine gourd and took a sip of wine.

"Watanabe's strength is not enough." Mifune said, "Too strong emotions that shouldn't be there will lead to failure, you should be clear about this."

Byodoin clenched its fists, but could not refute.In the end, he could only snort, slam the door and leave.

"What are you guys doing here?" Byodoin looked at the teammates sitting slumped in front of him and frowned.

Maori rubbed the back of his head and smiled awkwardly: "It's just a walk, a walk, hahaha."

"It's better to be like this." Byodoin looked at several people suspiciously, focusing on Taneshima and Kimishima.

His intuition told him that there was something wrong with these two people, but unfortunately he had no evidence.

"As you please."

After leaving this sentence, Byodoin left this floor and went to the indoor tennis court to vent its anger.Therefore, he didn't know what this group of high school students did to complete the task of "Let Watanabe and Camus fight" after he left.

I don't know how shocked this group of people was when they saw Duke Watanabe's name written in the singles one column after they really went through untold hardships to get the roster.

"Obviously we have already made a decision, but in the end, we still play tricks on us," Shuji Taneshima looked at the moon hanging in the night with a long sigh, "It's really bad fun, Coach Mifune."

Needless to say how shocked Duke was when he saw the roster, the full roster for the French team was announced the next morning.

The selected high school students are Kimishima, Mori and Watanabe, and the junior high school students are Marui, Sanada, Yanagi and Yukimura.

"How should I put it, some unexpected and some expected." Yukimura half-joked: "I really didn't expect there to be me."

The Court of Equality gave him a surprised look: "Do you think I'm talking nonsense when I say that you match the style of the French team?"

Yukimura was helpless: "No, I didn't think so, senior. It's just a little unexpected that Coach Mifune would arrange it like this."

He originally thought that he played in one of the last two games.

Regarding Yukimura's idea, Byodoin was noncommittal.

Compared to Yukimura, other middle school and high school students were surprised differently.

"The selected junior high school students are all from Lihai University." Jiazhi Fengduo was a little strange: "What is the coach thinking?"

Tanejima stretched his waist, is it really the reason why he stayed up too late last night, so sleepy today?

"It's not surprising, is it? Counting the substitutes and high school students, two-sevenths of Lihai University's players are selected. If you only look at the junior high school students, about half of the regular players are also."

If you think about it that way, it doesn't seem so strange.

"However, Li Haida's strength is really strong." Fuji sighed.

Across the aisle, Ninzu answered: "After all, it is the school that won the three-in-a-row championship."

As soon as these words came out, the middle school students all fell silent for a while.

After a long time, Atobu twitched his forehead and spoke in dissatisfaction.

"If I remember correctly, you are a student of Bingdi, right?"

Why is Li Haida so proud of you when you mention it?
