Net King: Black Glory

Chapter 45 Deployment of Sakaki Taro
Sakaki Taro decided to change before the game, not on a whim, but because he learned a lot from Bantian Mikiya during the duel with Yamabuki.

As a neon antique-level coach, Bantian Miki has seen too many talented players.

However, the teams of these players are sometimes defeated by Yamabuki's mediocre talent.

It is him who is playing a huge role as a coach.

The same goes for the showdown with Hyokui in the semifinals.

Originally, according to Sakakitaro's idea, it should be a variable that Hyodi might lose a round, but he didn't expect to hit the final decisive round and almost overturned.

If Atobe's strength hadn't improved tremendously after his duel with Zong Yan, the final outcome would have been hard to say.

It is also because of this that Sakakitaro made a decisive change in today's game.

It is the role of a coach to always be aware of the changes in the strength of his players and the chemical reactions that can be produced by their respective combinations.

The etiquette on the court is over, and each of them has warmed up a little bit, and the referee has also begun to announce that the game is about to start.

"The finals of the Metropolitan Tournament will be held soon. The doubles match will be played by Mukahidake and Ryo Anato from Hyotei Gakuen against the combination of Kikumaru Eiji and Oishi Shuichiro from Youth Gakuen."

"It's actually not Fumio Yamazaki who is fighting with Mukahidake, but Ryo Anato. Did you come up with a strange move?"

Seeing Bingdi's doubles two suddenly change to a regular doubles combination, Gan Sadaharu's complexion changed drastically, and his whole face was full of dignity.

Gan Sadaharu conducted a detailed investigation of Xiang Riyue and Adeto Ryo.

Although these two people are both first-years, their personal strength is only weaker than Keigo Atobe, Masato Yano, the acting head after Moonlight Ochi, and Yushi Ninata in the final selection of Hyodi.

These two have never played doubles before, but through the data, it is not difficult for Gan Sadaharu to find that their style is very similar to that of Kikumaru Oishi.

Seeing these two people competing, it was not difficult for Inui Sadaharu to suspect that this was a method devised to deal with Kikumaru Oishi, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried about the upcoming doubles match.

"Agan, there will always be accidents in the game. All we can do is trust Kikumaru and Oishi."

Seeing the change in Sadaharu's expression, Tezuka's face remained the same as usual, but Fuji smiled and comforted him.

"Tezuka, Fuji, Agan, and Yamato-senpai, don't worry, they should be a combination for the first time, and Oishi and I are confident that we can win this competition, right, Oishi!"

Kikumaru didn't think there was anything wrong, but patted Oishi's shoulder lightly and smiled.

Kikumaru's optimistic attitude also infected everyone, and the original tense atmosphere was swept away.

"Eiji is right, we will not lose."

Oishi Shuichiro's eyes were calm, and his tone was encouraging.

On the other side, in the Hyotei contestant area, Mukohidake and Ryo Anato stood in front of Sakakitaro.

"Qing Xue's doubles team is very cooperative and understanding. In this regard, as a newly formed doubles team, you guys will definitely not be able to match them."

"But at the same time, they also have very obvious weaknesses. I have already told you this. Your personal strength is not weaker than them, and even higher than them. Then seize this weakness and use your personal strength Just deal with them."

The reason why Sakakitaro made a change was because he was afraid that Qingxue would also adopt the horse racing method and directly exchange their original strongest doubles two.

This has been demonstrated in two sets of doubles with Yamabuki.

So he changed the formation temporarily, and Qingxue's doubles is still very immature now, so this change may have a miraculous effect.

"Yes, advisor!"

After bowing to Sakaki Taro, Kohitake and Ryo Anato walked onto the court with the racket in hand.

After Xumi, the two sides came to the net and began to choose the serve game.

"Positive or negative."

"opposite."

"Looks like we're lucky today."

Eiji Kikumaru, who got the first serve, looked at Mugataketo and Ryo Anato on the other side and showed a happy smile.

Neither Mugahigatake nor Anato Ryo spoke, but went straight to the baseline and waited quietly for Kikumaru Eiji's serve.

Seeing that everything was ready, there was a tsunami-like applause from the audience.

The first grade of Qing Xue vs. the first grade of Shangbingdi, it is very exciting to think about it!

Seeing that the players on both sides were ready, the referee's voice sounded again.

"The doubles two match begins, and at the end of the first round, the team of Youth Gakuen Kikumaru Eiji and Oishi Shuichiro will serve first."

After the referee finished speaking, Eiji Kikumaru was already slapping the tennis ball lightly. He glanced at Higakuto and Ryo Anato who were standing on the baseline opposite him, and there was a burst of complaints in his mouth:
"Oishi, their voices are really annoying!"

The noisy voices around made Kikumaru curl his lips. After entering the field, the cheers from Heidei's cheerleaders became louder and louder, which still made Kikumaru feel a sense of pressure.

"Ignore them, serve Eiji!"

Kikumaru slapped the tennis ball a few times, found the ball and threw it.

"Then, it's coming!"

boom!
The tennis ball flew directly towards the opposite side.

Tatata!
Kikumaru's serve has never been very fast. Shishito Ryo from the baseline quickly ran towards the landing point of the tennis ball and easily caught up with the ball.

At the moment the tennis ball bounced, he was already in the position to hit the ball.

boom!
As soon as the tennis ball bounced, it was easily hit back.

Half Volley!
One of Ryo Anato's famous stunts, but the current half volley is still a little less powerful than it will be in the future.

At this time, Kikumaru had returned to the net. Kikumaru moved quickly and directly chased the ball. He actually hit the ball back from mid-air before it even hit the ground.

"too naive!"

Seeing this, he shouted loudly to Riyue Ren, ran over quickly, and hit the tennis ball back with a bang.

Kikumaru's violent running and jumping in front of the net can indeed intercept the tennis ball in mid-air, but his unstable center of gravity will also have a certain impact on his reaction to the next ball.

But a surprising scene appeared.

It was clear that his center of gravity was already unstable, but Eiji Kikumaru unexpectedly turned over and caught up with the ball.

"Look at my Kikumaru beam!"

Kikumaru hit a straight ball on the sideline!
"Game, Qingxue, 15-0."

"Great!"

Seeing Kikumaru's childlike excitement, Ryo Shido said in surprise:
"It seems that the appearance seen in the video is not all about him. This guy's motor skills are as good as Yue Ren's."

"Hmph! Such a guy! I won't lose to him!" Xiang Riyue snorted coldly, expressing his disdain.

However, when Anato Ryo didn't see it, Xiang Hiyake's eyes became extremely hot.

Looking at this guy who is also a first-year guy in front of him, his desire to win has also become stronger.

boom! boom! boom!
The rest of the game went into an anxious phase of confrontation and mutual scoring.

……

Shishido Ryo was quick on his feet and moved quickly, catching up with another goal in the blink of an eye.

At the moment the tennis ball bounced, he glanced ahead, and according to the plan made by coach Sakakitaro before the game, he swung the racket vigorously without hesitation.

To attack Eiji Kikumaru!

boom!
The tennis ball was hit to the front corner.

"Drink!"

Kikumaru was sweating profusely, and quickly strode forward. He caught up with the ball and hit the tennis ball back with a bang.

On the opposite side of the net, Yueto Maki jumped up and swung his racket like a kite flipping over in the air.

Tatata!
Kikumaru's superb dance-style stunt shots explode again!

With super reflexes and flexibility, he caught up with the tennis ball with a few somersaults, and caught the tennis ball with a flick of the racket.

boom!
Xiang Ri, who had just landed, jumped up again, floating in the air like fallen leaves.

boom!
The two of them started a fierce stunt shooting showdown right in front of the net.

……

The whole audience held their breath and watched this unique and exciting duel with all their attention.

However, using trick shots one after another, Kikumaru's lack of physical strength was exposed again, panting heavily, and moving became difficult.

boom!
This time, Kikumaru failed to catch the tennis ball.

"Game, the game is over. This game was won by the combination of Hyotei Mukahigatake and Anato Ryo, with a score of 6:3."

Sakakitaro's sudden change of formation made Aigaku's doubles break through, and he lost one game first.
