I'm in NetKing, and I have a tennis mini-game

Chapter 73 The second half of the metropolitan competition, Hyotei vs. Yamabuki (1st update)
weekend.

The sports park where the Tokyo Metropolitan Competition is held.

So early in the morning, a lot of people had already gathered.Compared with last week, more people came to watch the game this time.

"senior."

Not long after, two reporters from Tennis Monthly appeared.Zhi looked at the crowds coming and going and said with emotion: "The Dujia Competition must have attracted all the junior high school students nearby, right?"

"not only that."

Inoue shook his head and said, "Look carefully, there are some unfamiliar faces inside."

"Who are these people?"

"It's a player from somewhere else."

Inoue pointed at one of them, a young man wearing a white-green jacket and glasses, and said: "Pay attention to the 'Green Mountain' on his chest. This is last year's Saitama Prefecture champion, an investigator from Green Mountain Middle School."

"Saiyu?"

Shiba Saori said in surprise: "You came from such a far away place?"

"It's nothing."

Inoue shook his head and said: "Compared to Tokyo, Rikkai University's competition in Kanagawa Prefecture last year even attracted schools from Kyushu, Kansai and Hokkaido."

"hiss."

Hearing this, Shiba Saori's face was filled with shock.

Hokkaido and Kyushu. These places sound so far away.Representatives from those schools traveled thousands of miles just to watch the tennis match?

"That's the appeal of a strong team."

Inoue smiled and said: "This year's Tokyo Metropolitan Competition is the same. Seigaku and Hyotei have unprecedentedly strong lineups. Those teams that may encounter them will certainly not miss this opportunity to collect real data."

"I understand."

Zhi nodded thoughtfully.

Subsequently.

The two enter the tennis court.

At the registration office, I met Seigaku led by Ryuzaki.Afterwards, Yinhua and Shanbuki arrived one after another.

but.

The combined momentum of the three teams could not compare to the last player to appear, Hyotei, led by Sakaki Taro himself.

In addition to the coach, eight first-choice players, and eight second-team players, the remaining lineup of more than 200 people is as majestic as a real legion.

"This, is this the Ice King from last week?"

Seeing the Hyokui team with twice as many people and more powerful momentum, Shiba Saori couldn't help but open his mouth.

"Ah."

Inoue nodded heavily and said: "This is the true appearance of the Ice Emperor."

Don't say anything else.

Just a team of 200 people can instantly turn an away game into a home game just by standing there.Players who do not have strong mental and willpower will be trembling when they enter the competition, and they will not be able to perform at [-]% of their strength.

"It seems that it will be difficult for Qingxue to win the championship."

Inoue sighed in his heart.

As the team that his idol once played for, Inoue naturally hopes that Seigaku can win.Moreover, as a magazine reporter, he can also get enough eye-catching news materials.

pity.

This year's Ice Emperor is too strong.

In the already strong lineup, the addition of Ishikawa, a newcomer who can no longer be described as a genius, is even more impeccable.

therefore.

Same as Inoue.

Almost everyone believes that the champion of this year's Tokyo Metropolitan Competition will undoubtedly be Hyokui.

however.

The first semi-final broke everyone's perception.

Stadium 3.

Qingxue versus Yinhua.

Yinhua, which defeated last year's semi-final team Hojo Middle School and won the ticket to the Kanto Competition, actually gave up and surrendered collectively at the beginning of the game.

Yinhua said to the outside world that he had a bad stomach.

but.

Inoue clearly remembered that before the competition with Qingxue, these people were all lively and full of fighting spirit.

"Looking at it this way, Qingxue doesn't have any chance at all."

Seeing the Qingxue crowd leaving the field one after another, Inoue stood on the fence outside the No. 3 court and nodded thoughtfully.

"Let's go, Chi. Go watch another game."

immediately.

Inoue and others rushed to the other side, where a game was about to begin.

Boom!

As the iron gate at the entrance to Stadium 2 opens.

Two teams, one white and one gray, entered the stadium under the leadership of Bantian and Sakaki Taro.

Team members from both sides, led by their respective ministers, stand facing each other in front of the net.

The ministers came forward and shook hands.

After a few simple and meaningless greetings, the two sides saluted each other and retreated to their own areas.

"Now, the Doubles 2 match is about to begin."

"Hyotei Academy's combination of Shishito Ryo and Hochotaro, and Yamabuki Middle School's Shinto Inamiyoshi and Kitama Kazuma's combination."

"Please prepare for the contestants on both sides."

"Shishido?"

Hearing the voice on the radio, everyone's faces showed surprise.

Shiba Saori said in surprise: "Isn't he a singles player? How can he switch to doubles?"

"I don't know."

Inoue shook his head and said, "Perhaps this is the Ice Emperor's new tactic."

Others also started talking.

"Damn it!"

But compared to the surprise of others, on Yamabuki's side, Muromachi, who had dark skin and wore sunglasses, said dissatisfiedly: "These guys from Hyotei are too contemptuous!"

"that is!"

Nishikori, the substitute representative, also said angrily: "Do you think that we can randomly arrange doubles players who are stronger than us?"

heard.

Shinto Mi and Kita, who were just getting ready to play, also looked a little ugly.

But facing the powerful No. [-] seed Ice King, they had nothing to do.They can only turn their anger into fighting spirit and swear secretly that they will kill their opponents on the court.

"Director Sakaki would actually arrange a doubles match with this kind of lineup?"

In the position of coach Yamabuki.

Bantian, whose face was full of wrinkles, had a look of thought in his eyes.

Different from what others saw, what he saw was the immense thickness of the bench due to the Ice Emperor's powerful strength.

"so."

Bantian's narrowed eyes slightly opened a gap: "Are you preparing to save the physical strength of the main team members for the finals between Hyotei and Seigaku?"

Think of this.

Instead, a fox-like smile appeared on Bantian's face.

He originally thought that with Hyokui's main force on the field, the possibility of Yamabuki winning would be much lower.Now it seems that the opponent's operation has become the key to their victory.

"Just win two doubles."

"Just win one of the remaining three singles matches."

"Whether it's Sengoku or Akutsu!"

"Game start."

"One set determines the outcome."

After a while.

Team members from both sides are ready.

The referee looked to Yamabuki's side and said: "The new player serves, the game is over!"

As his voice fell.

The stadium gradually became quiet, and people's eyes were focused on Xindu Mi at the baseline.

I saw that the opponent was patting the tennis ball, but his eyes were not looking at his opponent, but at his teammates.

"Eh?"

Following his gaze, he saw Kita Kazuma standing behind him, gesturing with his fingers in ever-changing movements. Shiba Saori said in surprise: "Inoue-senpai, that Kita-kun. What is he doing?"

"That's the secret code for him and his partner."

Inoue explained patiently: "Yamabuki has a nickname called [The Victorious Doubles Team]. Their doubles level is very high, and both groups have entered the national competition."

"National-level doubles? Two?"

Shiba Saori said in surprise: "Qing Gakuya is the golden combination of a national-level doubles team."

"Ah."

Inoue nodded: "This is also the strength of Yamabuki."

"As for this kind of gesture, it is a tactic used by doubles players to communicate before serving. Through gesture communication, we can avoid being detected by our opponents about our tactical arrangements. And.

As far as I know, each combination has its own specific code gesture.Even if they are both Yamabuki players, the code words between the two groups are completely different. "

"That's it."

Shiba Saori nodded with understanding.

Only now did she realize that doubles was not as simple as one plus one.

Bang!
And this time.

After confirming Kita's tactics, Shintomi hit the serve decisively.

The ball lands deep.

Feng, who was responsible for catching the ball, was forced to take half a step back, and his tennis speed was not very fast.And this was targeted by Kita, who had been waiting in front of the net for a long time, waiting for the opportunity.

Bang!
He suddenly stepped forward and blocked the space between the two Ice Emperors with a volley.

"15-0!"

The referee spoke.

Some passers-by and spectators around, including Shiba Saori, opened their mouths in surprise.

"So fast?"

"Ah."

Inoue nodded and said: "This is the efficiency of the secret tactic. By presetting the ball path, you can control the range of the opponent's counterattack. Then, act in advance and firmly control the initiative of the game!"

Look at the others.

Team members such as Ice Emperor and Qing Xue all looked calm.

Obviously.

They were not surprised that Yamabuki could show such fighting prowess in the doubles.

Subsequently.

Kita once again put his left hand behind his back, making various gestures with his fingers.

Xindu Mi, on the other hand, launched another attack.

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The two cooperated tacitly.

Completely suppressing the two Ice Emperors.

Bang!
"Game!"

"Yamabuki Shintomi, Kita, 1-0, exchange venues!"

in a blink.

The two of them won the game.

This undoubtedly greatly encouraged Yamabuki's momentum, and the team members cheered loudly.

And the second game.

Switch to Shishido's serve.

Shinto Mi and Kita immediately became alert.

They knew very well that this Ice Emperor player had excellent singles ability.It's not enough to look at in front of top players like Tezuka and Atobe, but to them, it's a very big threat.

Bang!
but.

What no one expected was that Shishido did not choose the fast break that he was good at.Instead, they used left and right attacks to try to interfere with their actions.

"Right."

Seeing this, on Yamabuki's side, the afro-headed minister Kentaro Minami nodded and said: "He feels that a one versus two fast attack is meaningless, so he is preparing to interfere with Kita and Shintomi's formation."

"A very calm judgment."

His partner next to him, Dongfang Masami, who had a slicked back hair, smiled and said: "It's a pity that their doubles are not so easy to be damaged."

Swish!
really.

The mushroom-headed Shintomi suddenly gave way, and Kita, whose hairstyle was similar to Atobe's and had two whirlpool symbols on his face, suddenly came out.

Bang!
A sudden straight ball caught Shishido and Feng off guard.

"0-15!"

"really."

Seeing this, Inoue said with emotion: "The doubles matches between the two sides are not on the same level at all."

Shinto Mi and Kita, although they don’t seem to have a strong sense of presence.But their doubles level is indeed within the national level.

not to mention.

Shishido and Feng formed a temporary team.

It is reasonable to be beaten by an opponent.

Bang!
"0-30!"

Bang!
"0-40!"

Bang!
"Game!"

"Yamabuki Shintomi, Kita, 2-0!"

At the end of the two games, Hyotei only relied on Shishido's personal ability to score two points.

In the big score, Yamabuki pulled away again.

The third game of the game.

It's Yamabuki's serve game again, this time Nitomi is in charge of signaling and Kita is in charge of serving.

With that dazzling gesture, the two of them also scored one after another.

soon.

Then he got another game and led his opponent 3-0.

"It's over!"

Seeing this, some passers-by who supported Hōtei held their heads and said, "Isn't Hōtei getting zero eggs in this game?"

This is the defending champion!

and.

The ones sent this time are not second-rate players, but real representatives of the main selection.

If he still loses like this, then Hyokui's dominance in the Tokyo competition this year will be very doubtful.

but.

Shishido and Feng didn't care at all about the reactions of these people.

"Changtaro."

After switching venues and taking turns to serve, Shishido turned to look at the boy behind him: "It's almost time to give them some color!"

"Ah."

Feng nodded heavily.

"The third game."

"The Ice Emperor Phoenix serves, the game is over!"

When the referee's voice fell, the audience's eyes fell on Feng.

"Is this guy in second grade?"

In the direction of Yamabuki, Muromachi, who was wearing sunglasses, looked at Feng who was gently tapping the tennis ball at the bottom line, and couldn't help but smile: "There's no need to struggle, even the third-year Shishito can't change the result of the game. You're a second-year, why bother?" Be so serious."

Not just him.

The other Yamabuki players, including most of the passers-by, thought that Hyokui's doubles team had no chance of winning.

call!
Under the indifferent eyes of these people, Feng threw the tennis ball high.

"One"

While thinking silently in his mind, he turned his left foot out and stayed close to the baseline.

"ball"

At this time, he stretched his arms and raised the racket high.

"enter"

Feng, whose muscles all over his body were tense, stared at the tennis ball in mid-air with serious eyes, waiting for the best opportunity to hit the ball.

"soul!!!"

Suddenly.

The racket in his hand slammed forward.It was like a smash, a dunk on the tennis ball.

boom!
A bang.

A light yellow light suddenly shot out.

The speed was so fast that the surrounding audience could only see a trace of afterimage.Even the other players only vaguely caught some subtle traces.

at the same time.

The bottom line of the Yamabuki field opposite.

Shinto Mi, who was responsible for receiving the serve, felt like a frightened cat when he heard the violent sound of the serve, and his hair suddenly stood up.

boom!
Subsequently.

The serve, which was like a cannonball, crashed in front of him.Under Xindumi's disbelieving gaze, she flew past him.

"Can't move?"

A drop of cold sweat flowed down the face of Shinto Mi, who was standing there like a statue.

And the huge stadium fell into extreme silence because of Feng's heavy serve.
