Chapter 132
0132 Yanagi Renji comes on the court!! The three stages of data tennis!!
“They won!! Fudomine is still as strong as ever! Rikkai University’s top doubles team was no match for Akira Kamio and Shinji Ibu!!”
“No, no, no, the difference is not that big! The main thing is that I didn’t expect that in a doubles match, both partners in a pair would reach the state of selflessness!”
“Indeed! In terms of individual strength, Fudomine only has a slight advantage! In terms of tacit understanding, Rikkai University has the advantage! But the opening of the selfless realm is enough to establish the victory!”
“Being able to open the state of no self is also the ability of these two guys from Fudo Peak! It is really enviable that Kamio Akira, Ibu Shinji, and Ishida Tetsu can join Fudo Peak!”
“Indeed! I now regret choosing Midoriyama Middle School after graduating from elementary school. If I had gone to Fudomine……”
“Stop talking about this! Three years ago, the Fudomine Tennis Club was at the bottom of the Tokyo rank! If I let you choose again, I don’t believe you would choose Fudomine!”
“Right, right, right! To put it bluntly, the main reason why Fudomine can now stand on the Kanto Conference finals court is the appearance of Beijiang!”
“……”
Watching Akira Kamio and Bunta Marui walk off the court and return to the players’ seats. Junior high school students from various schools in the audience were talking about it.
In addition to being impressed that Fudomine won the first game, they also expressed their envy for Akira Kamio and his team being able to become members of Fudomine.
Rokkaku Junior High School and Yamabuki Junior High School, which have already obtained tickets to the national tournament, have played against Akira Kamio and Shinji Ibu.
Although like Bunta Marui, they also lost to Akira Kamio and his team.
But!
They also know that compared to Rikkai University’s defeat today, they have a bigger gap with Akira Kamio and his team.
After all!
At the Metropolitan Tournament, Akira Kamio and his team wore weights to compete with Yamabuki.
And in the morning’s game.
The two players from Rokkaku,”Seven-Nine-Row”, also failed to force Akira Kamio and his team to open the state of selflessness.
This is enough to explain something.
In the Hyotei team.
Atobe Keigo held his chin and said with a complicated look:”The speed at which these guys improve always makes me feel shocked!”
“Oshitari, Fuji! If you were the opponents of Kamio Akira in this match!”
“If you go all out, what do you think your chances of winning are?”
Oshitari Yuushi and Fuji Shusuke were silent for a moment, then shook their heads and said:
“It is impossible to estimate, but it will not exceed 4!”
“It can only be estimated based on the maximum time limit of their selfless state! But the physical strength of Fudomine players never seems to be a shortcoming! Their physical fitness is above that of players of the same level!”
The answers of the two made Keigo Atobe and Taro Sakaki frown.
The latter thought about it and said in a deep voice:”I think I should know the underlying logic of Fudomine’s training plan!”
Keigo Atobe and the others immediately looked at Taro Sakaki, their eyes full of surprise.
The underlying logic of the training plan?!
Taro Sakaki did not keep it a secret, but looked in the direction of Fudomine’s player bench and spoke again:
“It was classmate Fuji who reminded me just now!”
“Regardless of the first-tier players of the Fudomine team such as Kitakyo and Tezuka Kunimitsu, or the second-tier players and substitutes such as Kamio Akira and Sakurai Masaya!”
“Their physical strength is surprisingly good! This proves that physical endurance training is the cornerstone of all their training plans!”
This made Oshitari Yuushi’s expression startled, and he immediately understood what Sakaki Taro meant.
“Coach Sakaki Taro! You guessed it right!”
“Endurance training is the cornerstone of training for people like Fudomine!”
“No matter how strong your skills, strength, and speed are on the court, there will always be ups and downs due to physical reasons!”
“Once endurance is guaranteed, the efficiency of other training will also be improved simultaneously! This is much more effective than simply strengthening training in other aspects!!”
Sakaki Taro nodded heavily:”That’s what I mean! We should have understood this principle long ago! This time, Fudomine really taught me a good lesson!”
“I will adjust the training plan of the entire tennis club after I go back!”
Atobe Keigo and others naturally had no objection.
Even though they started late, they wanted to try any method that could narrow the gap between them and Fudomine!!
In the Fudomine players’ booth.
Although Kamio Akira and Ibu Shinji won the game, they were embarrassed to face the scrutiny of Tachibana Yoshihei and others. Ishida
Tetsu even hooked their shoulders, saying,”Hurry up and tell the truth.”
“Well, don’t scare them! They have been paired up for many doubles matches recently! It’s a good thing that the two of them can have such a trump card before the national conference!”
“I originally thought that you would have a tough match! Now it seems that I was worrying too much!”
“However, remember not to rely too much on the power of the selfless state! The characteristics of your tennis are skills and speed! These two are the sharpest weapons in your hands!”When
Akira Kamio and Shinji Ibu saw Kitakami speak, they nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
Naturally, the others stopped”making things difficult” for the two. They just kept joking around the two, as if they were not in the finals of the Kanto Conference.
Instead, they were like spectators of this game.
These scenes were seen by the people of Rikkai who lost the first game, and they felt even worse.
A few minutes later
“Second match! Doubles number one!”
“Fudomine Junior High School’s Tachibana Yoshihei and Ishida Tetsu face off against Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School Yanagi Renji and Kirihara Akaya!”
“”Players from both teams enter the court!”
The moment the referee announced the list of players for the second doubles match, the junior high school students from various schools who were still discussing the previous match all stared with wide eyes.
“Yanagi Renji!?”
“Military strategist Yanagi Renji is not playing in the singles position! Instead, he is playing in the doubles position?!”
“As expected!! Rikkai University’s first doubles match number two saw a player change, and there will also be a big change in the doubles number one match! I thought it was just a simple swap, but who knew Yanagi Renji would actually play!”
“But think about it, it should be! After all, Fudomine’s doubles No. 1 will definitely have a national-level player on the field! If Yanagi Renji doesn’t play, then the score of doubles No. 1 will be given to Fudomine for nothing!”
“The two heroes of Kyushu face off against the military advisor!! This match should be one of the few national-level matches in the Kanto region so far this year, right?”
“That’s right! Kitakyo defeated Atobe Keigo at the Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament! Atobe Keigo defeated Sanada Genichirō in yesterday’s match! And now this match!”
“If Rikkai University wins this match, the score will be tied! Even if they lose this Kanto Tournament final, it won’t be too bad! They can be considered the team that won a match from Fudomine!”
“But if you lose……The result is ugly!”
“yes……”
“……”
Everyone in the stadium saw Yanagi Renji and Kirihara Akaya walking out of the Rikkai University player’s bench, and their eyes flashed with strange colors.
It seemed that at this moment, these two people almost represented the honor and disgrace of the king Rikkai University.
And Tachibana Yoshihei and Ishida Tetsu walked out of the Fudomine player’s bench. Their expressions were very calm.
Even when they heard that their opponents were Yanagi Renji and his team, they were surprised for a moment.
But it didn’t mean that they were afraid!
At both ends of the game net.
Standing opposite each other
“Tachibana-san, although we met at the national conference last year, but our Rikkai University has no chance to compete with Shishiraku Junior High School!”
“Today is also a belated duel!”
Yanagi
Renji whispered as he extended his hand to Tachibana Jiping. Tachibana Jiping’s eyes fixed.
He knew that the other party was deliberately mentioning”Shizile Middle School” in front of him.
He was not afraid at all and raised his hand to shake it.
“As expected of Rikkai University’s military advisor……”
“But if you want to try to influence me before the game based on information you got from nowhere,……I’m afraid you’re going to miscalculate!”
“This match! The winner will still be Fudomine!”
“You are not qualified to stop Fudomine from moving forward!”
As Tachibana Jiping spoke, his eyes were fixed on Yanagi Renji.
The aura on his body suddenly spread.
Kirihara Akaya, who was standing by, wanted to refute something, but in his eyes, Tachibana Jiping seemed like a tiger walking out of a primeval forest.
Those who dare to touch the tiger’s whiskers will bear the consequences!
Yanagi Renji could naturally feel the pressure brought by Tachibana Jiping’s aura.
But no matter what, he took a deep breath and resisted it.
“Then……Wait and see!”
After saying that, he and Tachibana Yoshihei released their hands at the same time, each leading Kirihara Akaya and Ishida Tetsu to prepare for the game.
Due to the rotation rule of serving rights, the first game’s serving rights came to Rikkai University this time.
At the baseline receiving position, Yanagi Renji and Tachibana Yoshihei were facing each other.
Kirihara Akaya and Ishida Tetsu were at the net.
When Yanagi Renji raised his hand to serve,
“Bang——”
A flat serve went straight to the left and in front of Tachibana Jiping. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
“Hmm?”
After seeing where the ball landed, Tachibana Jiping’s body reacted and he also understood something in his mind.
Sure enough!!
Not only the last game, Kamio Akira and the other two were collected data and analyzed.[]
I have also become a target!!
“Bang——”
He shot backhandedly, but his body did not stop, and he stood directly in the midfield to take a defensive stance.
“Bang——”
His shot was”predicted” by Kirihara Akaya.
Although he was obviously weaker than Tachibana Yoshihei in terms of power, he seemed to be well prepared and completed the return by holding the racket with both hands.
“Wave Ball——”
Ishida Tetsu didn’t just stand there.
Before the game, he received instructions from Tachibana Yoshihei.
He only needed to keep an eye on Kirihara Akari.
So, Ishida Tetsu followed Kirihara Akari’s footsteps.
When the opponent raised his racket with both hands, Ishida Tetsu also took the starting position for the wave ball.
“”Bang!!”
The dull sound of the ball hitting the center court resounded throughout the entire court.
When the wave ball passed by Kirihara Akaya’s side, the latter felt an inexplicable and terrifying energy passing by.
Pure power.
It was definitely not something he could contend with with two hands!!
However!!
There was no worry on his face………
Because.
He couldn’t catch it, but his partner standing behind him on the court could definitely catch it!!
“Although the wave ball is a surprisingly powerful ball skill, it does not mean that it cannot be hit back!”
The words that came from Yanagi Renji’s mouth made Ishida Tetsu’s pupils shrink.
“Bang!”
Ryu Renji appeared in front of the ball and swung his racket diagonally from bottom to top.
A strange sound of hitting the ball followed.
But what surprised many people was that Ishida Tetsu’s powerful wave ball was actually hit back directly.
The return ball passed over the stunned Ishida Tetsu.
“”Ishida! Cheer up!”
Tachibana Yoshihei shouted to Ishida Tetsu while running quickly to chase the ball.
He immediately recovered.
Ishida Tetsu also remembered that Yanagi Renji hit back his wave ball.
The other party was ranked among the”Big Three” of Rikkai University, and he did have his strengths.
He didn’t have the capital to underestimate him!!
“Bang——”
“Bang——”
For a while, the sounds of hitting the ball on both sides began to overlap.
Compared to the first doubles match, this one was even more intense from the start.
10 minutes later, the score was 3-1!
Tachibana Yoshihei and Ishida Tetsu had a 2-point advantage. Yanagi
Renji and Kirihara Akaya barely managed to keep their serve in the first game.
After that, they didn’t seem to have many offensive ideas.
They just kept”delaying”.
On the contrary, Ishida Tetsu and Tachibana Yoshihei played more and more smoothly, and seemed more relaxed than at the beginning of the game.
Kirihara Akaya’s racket was also hit away by Ishida Tetsu twice.
If Yanagi Renji hadn’t been there, I’m afraid Kirihara Akaya would have at least entered the”red eye” state.
Before the fifth game started, many people in the audience looked at the 2-point difference in the small game, and couldn’t help but speak up:
“In the battle between Yanagi Renji and Tachibana Yoshihei, Tachibana Yoshihei is still the better one!”
“That’s right, although there was also the factor of Kirihara Akaya, the sophomore of Rikkai University, holding back, but even if it was a singles match, Tachibana Yoshihei would definitely have the upper hand!”
“This game is crucial! If Yanagi Renji can’t keep his serve in this game, then there is almost no chance of winning this game!”
“It all depends on whether this strategist from Rikkai University can find a way to turn the tables! If he loses like this, it will be completely meaningless for him to play in the doubles No. 1 position!”
“That’s it…….”
Shiba Saori in the crowd also took a photo and turned her head to look at Inoue Mamoru beside her.
“Senior Inoue! This military strategist, one of the three great men of Rikkai University, doesn’t seem to be that powerful!”
“Although he defeated Echizen Ryoma yesterday, everyone could see that it was a suppression due to hard power!”
“Even if he is a data tennis player, it is clear that his and Kirihara Akaya’s attacks are unlikely to threaten the two players from Fudomine!”
“Is Rikkai University doomed to lose this game?”
Inoue Mamoru did not answer her immediately, but carefully looked at Yanagi Renji’s expression.
Then he shook his head:”No! It’s not that simple! I don’t see any worry on his face! Even if it’s a disguise, there shouldn’t be no signs at all!”
“I prefer Yanagi Renji 3.6 and there is a backhand!”
“I guess he will definitely take action in this round!”
“Otherwise, if it drags on, considering the strength of both teams, it will take a lot of effort to recover every point difference in the small game!”
Similarly.
Teams like Hyotei and Rokkaku did not really follow the current situation and felt that Yanagi Renji and Kirihara Akari did not have any trump cards.
Instead, they paid more attention to the next game that was about to begin.
The victory or defeat of this game was the true display of the strength of both teams in this doubles match.
In the Fudomine player’s booth, Tezuka
Kunimitsu adjusted his glasses on his nose.
“From the first game, Yanagi Renji clearly had a lot of data on Tachibana!”
“He even studied Ishida’s wave ball, using the edge of the racket to block the first wave of impact, and then complete the counterattack after removing the first wave of impact!”
“Logically speaking, the situation shouldn’t be like this now!”
“What does he want to do?”
Akutsu Jin said coldly:”Who cares what he wants to do? Playing with this kind of guy on the court is the most troublesome! In my opinion, just beat that kelp head first!” Toyama
Kintaro obviously agreed with Akutsu Jin’s suggestion.
He felt a little bored watching this game.
Kitakami said softly:”There are three stages of data tennis style players!”
“The first stage is to observe and collect data before the game! Then analyze it! After you have thoroughly understood it, you can control the situation during the game!”
“The second phase is different! In addition to what you did in the first phase, you can also collect opponent data during the game! And analyze it!”
“Compared to the first stage, the second stage has an additional insurance!”
“And Inui Sadaharu and St. Rudolph’s Mitsuzuki! are the data tennis style players in the first stage!”
“Yanagi Renji has reached the second stage!”
“so……You know what he’s doing, right?”
