[Comprehensive] First Love Trainee

The game did not go to the end, and when it was a 4:4 draw, Coach Sakaki calmly announced the decision for both of them to be selected for the representative team.

After watching such a "fairy fight", the contestants certainly had no objections. On the contrary, the two who had confirmed their representative qualifications in advance were not happy. To put it bluntly, it was more like being dissatisfied with being stopped because they could not decide the winner.

Stimulated by such a high-level duel, Coach Sakaki mentioned the quota for the selection team on the spot. The enthusiasm of the players was mobilized, and their mental state obviously rose to a new level. Start guessing about the list of delegates that will be produced shortly.

Maki and Xia Fan may be the two volunteers who pay the least attention to tennis, and their understanding of players from various schools is not as comprehensive as others.Several juniors were chatting about possible candidates for the shortlist. Of course, they couldn't rule out their personal preference for certain players. However, they analyzed each person's strengths, weaknesses and strengths very well. The two girls listened to each other for a while, It is also inevitable to exchange ideas with each other.

Although they don't know much about the players, but from the personality analysis of several coaches, they should be biased towards the type with relatively good and stable results and a strong desire to win.Needless to say, the requirements for basic skills need not be repeated. I am afraid that players with too conservative batting styles will not be favored. After all, considering the various situations that may occur on the field, too simple means are not conducive to dealing with complex and changeable game situations. Mature players probably also lack the ability to bear the pressure of a game independently.

Kosakata Tomoka was full of confidence: "Hmph! Our young master Ryoma defeated that Sanada-senpai in the final of the Kanto Tournament! In this way, he is the most powerful player, and he will definitely be selected for the representative team. Moreover, Tezuka-senpai also I think highly of Young Master Ryoma, so don't worry!"

Although it is suspected of "going through the back door", no matter from the past achievements or the degree of attention, it seems that Echizen Ryoma is only a matter of course as a member of the representative team.

Therefore, when the official list was announced and Echizen Ryoma was not selected, Maki was really surprised.

Of course Tezuka valued Echizen, otherwise he would not deliberately stimulate his potential and guide his development in multiple directions, even more than he cared about his hand injury.The other players selected are undoubtedly excellent and mature, but Maki always feels that, with Echizen's activeness and the attention of the coaches to him, this matter does not seem to be so simple.

Even if others were unexpected, the person involved was even more surprised.

Before the selection list was finalized, the minister had a conversation with him, but in retrospect, it was just a very ordinary conversation. Echizen didn't understand what the poor performance made the minister disappointed in him.

Of course, it doesn't mean that he thinks that he should have a spot in the representative team. It's just that he has performed outstandingly in the school trials consecutively, even surpassing his predecessors. , until the finals of the Kanto Contest defeated the powerful "Emperor" Genichiro Sanada of Lihai University, all of which had to make Echizen feel confident--for him, the eligibility for the main selection of the representative team was like picking something out of a pocket.

In the end, he was not selected. Even if the proud young man didn't say anything, he still felt a little wronged in his heart.

"Echizen-kun... is it alright?" There is still a week before the friendly match, and of course we can't just wait during this period, so the training camp is over, and all schools have resumed the in-team training mode to prepare for the national competition.

The usually cool cat-eyed boy practiced as before, and he didn't seem to show any obvious performance, but how could Maki not see his inner confusion and grievance?It doesn't really matter how the friendly match goes. They will also participate in the national competition next. Tezuka attaches so much importance to it. If there is a mistake because of Echizen Ryoma's mental state, it will not be worth the candle.

Tezuka naturally understood what losing the election meant to a player like Echizen, but he had high hopes for Echizen.To be the center and pillar of a team depends not only on technology, but also on a calm heart and indomitable perseverance.Echizen Ryoma's father is a former professional tennis player. His own comprehension ability is indeed outstanding, and he has unique training conditions. Compared with some rough players, his road so far has been too smooth, which has created his self-confidence And a sense of superiority, it is also easy for him to lack the resilience to withstand setbacks.The so-called "pillars" and aces are candidates who can give the team strong encouragement by virtue of stable and outstanding performance under any environment and conditions. They are candidates who can always keep their original intentions and infect teammates with strong spiritual power no matter in good times or adversities. exist.The current Echizen does not possess such qualities.

If you don’t realize it yourself, you don’t have a deep understanding. Of course, Tezuka will not speak out thoroughly to answer the student’s doubts. Hearing Maki’s question, he just replied lightly: “He can always figure it out by himself.”

This day's practice, Maki did not see the end from beginning to end.

The background music used in the previous Twitter promotional video was Xia Fan's original team song for this competition.In order to have a more supportive atmosphere on the field at that time, the songs will be recorded into CDs for easy playback before the game.Coach Sakaki is not only the coach of the ice emperor tennis club, but also a part-time music teacher. ice emperor has complete facilities and a professional choir. Ice Emperor met and finished the recording.

This is Maki's first visit to Ice Emperor.

Even though it was during the summer vacation, there were still many students around the tennis court who came to watch the practice, it was so lively that it didn't look like a school during the vacation, and Maki couldn't help but click his tongue.

It is indeed a star club!The pick-up scene of those big stars is only a few hundred fans, and it is possible that there may be even more audiences now.

Because of Renzu's relationship, Xia Fan has been to Bingdi many times. After meeting Zhenji at the school gate, he took her to the third music classroom with familiarity.

Ice Emperor’s chamber choir is well-known in the Kanto region. Knowing that they were recording the team song for the Japan-US friendly match, they readily agreed to do so. Each member has already received the sheet music and practiced it, and they are only waiting for the official recording today.Although this support song only requires the participation of the choir in the harmony part, the girls heard that it was for the tennis match promotion, and they didn't dislike the lack of opportunities to appear on the stage at all, and they looked very excited.

"When I was doing a radio program before, I heard that the Ice Emperor Chamber Choir was very famous, and the performance standards were quite high. I was worried that they would not only do harmony, but I didn't expect it to go smoothly." Maki was a little surprised.

Xia Fan heard the words and muttered quietly, "It is said that the ice emperor's tennis team is nicknamed 'Cowherds', and they are right. They are really sinful men... If it were a judo competition, I'm afraid we won't even be able to get in..."

The cooperation between the two sides was very high, the recording equipment was advanced, and the tuner was also professional, so the recording ended soon.The practice of the tennis club outside is not over yet, so Xia Fan naturally stays and waits. Maki looks at the time. At this time, take the tram back to Qingxue. It is estimated that the training time must be over there. Why not contact TKS colleagues to go to the US team together? Check out the hotel where you are staying.

Of course, the specifications and level of the Japan-US friendly match cannot have a place in the news on a major private TV station like TKS, but apart from the TV department of the head office, TKS also has an independent network program, one of which is called "Direct Attack, Yan Sports The column of 48 Hour Live Broadcasting requires a lot of sports news materials.This show comes out once a month. Because it takes a long time to broadcast and requires a lot of material, after seeing the promotional video on Maki’s Twitter, I contacted her to collect some material.

They are doing a show, so naturally both teams have to be involved, and Maki will not be stingy enough to stop the column staff from reporting everything about the US team.Hearing that the US team would hold a press conference in the hotel conference room tomorrow, she herself was a little curious about the head coach of the US team who was good at marketing, so she simply borrowed the help of her colleagues to investigate in advance.

Baker, the head coach of the US team, is a strong white male with a deep face, a hooked nose, and gray-blue eyes. He looks like he is in his 40s.Their team is of a commercial nature, and they have already attracted several powerful investors, and the hotel they are staying in is of a high standard.At the moment, Coach Baker is setting up the meeting room with the staff. There are several photographers taking photos nearby. After asking, they found out that they are the staff members of their team. The task is to record all the team’s itinerary and activities on the day. Come down so the documentary can be made.

The reception staff was also busy dealing with the docking with the reporters and the media, and the seats under the stage were obviously more than the number of reporters. After inquiring, I found out that the players in the team have many fans. Also reserve seats at press conferences.

Coach Baker also tried to highlight the dramatic effect when the players appeared on the stage. Maki listened to it for a while, secretly clicking his tongue.

Those who didn't know thought they were going to introduce some idol boy group that debuted at the C position!Will it be too fancy?In competitive sports, isn't the result of the game the most important thing?With these fancy gimmicks, I always feel a bit put the cart before the horse.

Because I came here with my colleagues from TKS, so about coach Baker also recognized Maki as a media worker, and his attitude was very polite.He is a person who is very good at marketing, and he brought the topic to his team within a few words, bragging about the commercial value of the players openly and secretly, with a shrewd appearance of a businessman.Maki doesn't have a good impression of such a utilitarian person, and under the influence of Tezuka, he thinks that as an athlete, if he puts too much thought on things that have nothing to do with training, it is against the requirements of his job. The so-called "coach" doesn't like it.

When evaluating a player, but blindly emphasizing commercial value instead of focusing on strength and performance, calling him a coach is more like a "second-rate dealer".She felt a little uncomfortable.
