"Zizhou, have you received a call from Senior Taneshima?" After hearing the footsteps beside him, Yagyu turned to look at Zizhou.
Zizhou smiled and moved away, and Zhongdao behind him waved and greeted Yagyu and the others.
After seeing Tanejima, Yagyu and the others immediately stood up and bowed politely.
"Hello, juniors. I haven't congratulated you on winning the Kanto Championship yet. You really made our Rikkai University proud. I'm looking forward to your performance in the national competition." A mouthful of dazzling white teeth blinded Zizhou's eyes.
"Don't worry, Tanejima-senpai. We will definitely win the national championship three times in a row."
Yagyu calmly answered Tanejima.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. It looks like the competition is about to start. Let's let Tanejima-senpai test our strength."
Until I heard Zizhou's words. Zhongdao touched Zizhou's head with some heartache. He had heard from him about his injury some time ago. Because of this, he was not even qualified to compete. Looking at his bandaged left hand, I felt that Zizhou must be very sad.
It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel sorry for him. He knew how hard Zizhou worked. He often asked him to play tennis on weekends and often asked him about his shortcomings in tennis.
Zhongdao was often surprised at Zizhou's speed of progress. It could be said that apart from his physical deficiencies, his technique and motor nerves were very good. In his opinion as a high school student, he had already surpassed many high school students.
"Okay, but your minister didn't come on stage?"
Tanejima saw that Yukimura was not wearing the athlete's sportswear in the sidelines, but was standing aside discussing something with the coaches.
"Well, since Yukimura was chosen as the coach, the president of Seigakuin next to him, Tezuka Kunimitsu, was also chosen as one of the candidates for this coach."
Following Zizhou's finger, I saw that serious man, who didn't look like a junior high school student at all, with brown hair and rigid glasses, would be believed by everyone if he said it was the dean of studies.
"Eh? You don't look like a junior high school student at all. You really have an advanced appearance just like a ghost!"
"Ghost? Is he your teammate, senpai?"
"Well, it's not from Rikkai University, we just train together."
Beep－－－
The game has begun. As Zizhou and the others were looking forward to it, the second doubles team came on the court.
The people from Hyotei and Rikkai University in the audience were all stunned.
Kuwahara, who was drinking water just now, couldn't help but spit it out. Fortunately, there was no one in front, otherwise the person in front would have gotten a shower.
"No way, what are the coaches thinking? Why would they pair them up in doubles? Sanada doesn't know how to play doubles. Didn't Yukimura tell him?" Marui stood up almost in surprise.
Yagyu is fine, not so exaggerated.
Zizhou seemed to have guessed something.
"Maybe it was difficult to decide who would play singles between Sanada and Atobe, as they were the strongest players in this tournament, so they just put them together as a doubles team. It's just that the coaches didn't expect that they were doubles idiots. As for Yukimura, it's probably because the coaches didn't accept his advice when he tried to stop it, after all, wasn't it Coach Sakaki who made the real decision?"
After listening to this, Yagyu and the others thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.
Zhongdao was very curious after hearing this.
"Are these Sanada and Atobe really that powerful that it's so hard to decide who to let fight alone?"
"Of course. The top five junior high school tennis players are very strong. Senior, be careful that we catch up with you."
Knowing that the black eyes were staring at Zizhou, the smile in the eyes made Zizhou feel a little uneasy. He didn't know why he felt like he was being stared at by a ferocious beast.
Sensing Zizhou's discomfort, Zhongdao quickly laughed it off.
"Really? That person is waiting to see what's going on."
As expected by Zizhou and the others, the matches between Sanada and Atobe have been terrible so far. They are not doubles at all, just one-on-one matches.
But later they became in sync, as if they were in a dance party, stepping to the same beat, and if the beginning was bad, the latter would be gorgeous. Is it true that everything has infinite possibilities?
The next doubles match was between Oshitari and Niou.
"Oh, it seems like we have a good relationship with Hyotei today. Both doubles teams are between us and Hyotei." Yagyu pushed his glasses and complained to Zizhou beside him.
"Yeah, I guess we are compatible with Hyotei. Or maybe it's because Hyotei's coach Sakaki has a unique vision. Have you noticed that these two groups of partners have similar traits?"
"Ah, Sanada Atobe's stubbornness and Oshitari Niou's vision and character, they are indeed worthy of being the coach respected by Atobe." Yagyu's words were also heard by other people around him, and they couldn't help but admire him. Rikkai University has a long-term vision, no wonder they have always been the champions.
And Zhongdao was very surprised at their intelligence. Those who could notice this were all smart people. When seeing the wisdom in Zizhou's eyes, Zhongdao sometimes felt that Zizhou didn't look like a junior high school student at all, but like someone who had experienced a lot.
He is very charming and mysterious, which makes Zhongdao fall deeper and deeper.
－－－On the court－－－－
"I didn't expect that we would team up as a doubles team. As long as you don't hold me back, I believe this game will be over soon."
"That's what I want to tell you, Niou-kun. I heard that the people on the other side are brothers?"
"Yes, from the information Liu collected, they are the most well-known. It seems that a large part of the audience in this stadium is here to see them."
"Oh? Is that so?"
"How about we beat them up badly? Do you think these spectators will turn this place upside down?"
"That sounds interesting. If we let them think we are weak and are feeling proud of ourselves, and then suddenly make them despair, will the opposing coach be so angry that he will die?"
The more they discussed, the more they felt that the other party was to their liking, so these two most cunning people got together and carried out a shocking scam.
After the game started, everyone from all schools felt very awkward. Not only were Niou Oshitari's counterattacks weak and patchy, but he also made frequent mistakes.
It would be understandable if this happened to other people, but this is Hyotei and Rikkai University, it's impossible!
As for the location of the preparation area, everyone including Yukimura Tezuka was speechless. Rikkai University and Hyotei, who knew these two people, were very troubled. These two people are causing trouble again, who can stop them? This is a competition between Japanese and American teenagers!
No matter how crazy other people were, Oshitari and Nioh were having a great time.
Coach Baker was extremely happy, thinking that they would win this round. However, when the score was 5-3 and they were about to win, the opponent seemed like a different person. After that, we couldn't receive any balls except the serve. It was as if Inuzuka predicted the opponent's movements by playing the ball, in blind spots, opposite corners, and stealing the ball, causing the opponent to run non-stop but unable to catch a single ball.
Bang-
The last ball ended at the baseline.
"Puh, are you having fun?"
"It's really interesting."
Until the end of the game, the opposing players were still confused, it was obviously not the case!
But who knows?
