Chapter 142
0142 Tezuka and others arrived at the U-17 in the United States! Testing as soon as they got off the plane?!
United States.
New York John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Kita and John led Tezuka Kunimitsu and the other two who came to the United States for the first time and walked towards the exit.
Tezuka Kunimitsu and Akutsu Jin were more or less restrained in the unfamiliar environment.
After all, they had never left Neon.
But Toyama Kintaro was different.
He had a carefree personality. If it weren’t for Kita to keep him under control, he would have run off to join in the fun!
“Brother Beijiang, Uncle John! Where are we going now? Looking for a place to stay?”
“”I’m so hungry! Airplane food is so terrible!”
Toyama Kintaro asked curiously.
After hearing this, Tezuka Kunimitsu and Akutsu Jin looked at Kitagi and John.
Now Kitagi and John are their only backbone in this unfamiliar environment in the United States.
Kitagi said lightly:”We are going to the U-17 training camp in the United States now! You will eat and live in the training camp during this period!”
“You don’t have to worry���Your expenses! If you need anything when you get there, just tell the staff at the training camp!”
Tezuka Kunimitsu and the others were stunned.
Is there such a good thing?!
Why does this US U-17 training camp feel like a top hotel that doesn’t cost money?!
But Beijiang and John didn’t explain anything more to them. They would know when they got there.
Leaving the airport.
Before Beijiang took out his phone to contact Reinhardt, a long commercial vehicle had already stopped in front of them.
“Click——”
The car door opened and Hopkins got out wearing casual clothes.
“Dear students, welcome to the United States!”
“Northern Frontier! I won’t call you to urge Reinhard’s chance…….”
As he said that, he and Yo also hugged each other as before.
Tezuka Kunimitsu and the other two looked at Hopkins, whom they had met once before, in amazement.
They thought they were going to the U-17 team in a taxi.
Who knew that a luxury car would come to pick them up right away.
Moreover, the vice-captain of the U-17 team came in person.
Although they had not yet arrived at the U-17 training camp, such treatment had already made them feel valued.
After all, they were all middle school students.
It was easy to be satisfied in their hearts!
“Hopkins, you didn’t have to come in person!”
“But since you are here, why don’t you introduce the training camp to them on the way?”
“No problem! Get in the car!”
Hopkins was obviously very welcoming to Tezuka Kunimitsu and the others, and called the three of them, Kitakami and John to get in the car.
On the way to the U.S. U-17 training camp, Hopkins also informed Toyama Kintaro and the other two about the situation in the U.S. U-17 training camp.
In general.
The players only need to focus on their own training, and any other problems can be helped in the training camp!
Whether it is the most basic food, clothing, housing and transportation, or material needs.
Tezuka Kunimitsu and the others were also shocked by the wealth of the U.S. U-17 training camp.
Kitakami said lightly on the side:”If you want to enjoy all this, the first thing is to have the strength to deserve it!”
“The main purpose of bringing you here this time is to let you come here to have a look and get familiar with it!”
“But the training that needs to be completed will only become more difficult!”
After hearing this, Tezuka Kunimitsu and the other two immediately straightened their expressions, put aside their unnecessary thoughts, and nodded to show that they understood.
Hopkins’ expression remained unchanged, but he was very satisfied with Tezuka Kunimitsu’s attitude.
The U.S. U-17 training camp can indeed solve most of the players’ troubles.
But the only requirement is the players’ strength and training.
Putting tennis first is the most basic bottom line for every player in the training camp.
This is also what Reinhardt values most!
An hour’s drive.
Tezuka Kunimitsu and the other two, led by Beijiang and others, stood in front of the gate of the U.S. U-17 training camp.
“Beep beep——”
“The test was successful! Welcome junior high school player number 0001 – Beijiang!”
When Beijiang passed the verification, he opened the door to the training camp.
As he continued to walk inside with Tezuka Kunimitsu and others, he slowly said:”Because I am the first junior high school student in the training camp, my number is 0001!”
“Afterwards, someone will help you complete your identity registration, and you will be eligible to enter and exit the training camp at any time!”
“However, you need to inform Hopkins of your purpose every time you leave! If there are special circumstances that prevent you from returning to the team that day, you must also inform him!”
“As players in the training camp, you should also know that you represent the U-17 team of the United States! You can enjoy freedom, but you cannot ignore the rules!”
Tezuka Kunimitsu and the other two took note of it silently.
But they obviously did not want to leave without permission. They were unfamiliar with the place.
Since the U-17 training camp of the United States had everything, there was no need for them to run out and cause unnecessary trouble! They moved forward all the way.
Soon they passed by the open-air training field outside.
“Wow!! Brother Beijiang!! Are they all American high school students?”
“They all look so good! This one should be at the national level! That one too!!”
Kintaro Toyama was immediately attracted by the American high school students in the training field. Kunimitsu
Tezuka and Jin Akutsu also looked at the high school students passing by on both sides of the field in surprise.
Although these people were older than them!
But seeing so many national-level players at once, they were still a little unresponsive.
Hopkins spoke slowly beside them:”They are all high school students recruited from all over the United States to the training camp!”
“Although most of them cannot become a member of the US U-17 team!”
“However, there is a high probability that they will become the backbone of American tennis in the future!”
“From the first year of high school to the third year of high school, the training methods and theoretical knowledge learned in the training camp can be used to develop into a coach, analyst or tennis sparring partner!”
“Whether it is possible to continue to impact the tennis career, it will have a positive effect on the US tennis world!”
After hearing this, Tezuka Kunimitsu couldn’t help but sigh:”Sure enough! The title of a world tennis power is not a title that can be achieved by just having one or two top professional players!”
Hopkins looked at him in surprise, with a hint of approval in his eyes.
“Tezuka-san, you are absolutely right!”
“So, in the future U-17 World Cup! Switzerland, France, Spain and Germany, or even other top ten teams in overall strength!”
“Once their players become your opponents, you must remember one thing! The strength they show may not be what you see!”
These words made Tezuka Kunimitsu and the other two look at each other and remember them again.
Beijiang saw it, but did not say anything.
Although Hopkins’s words were a bit exaggerated, the U-17 team of the United States did not have to pay much attention to opponents other than the top four teams.
However!
It is not a bad thing to be able to stay vigilant at all times!
Everyone continued to move forward along the outer court and soon stopped in front of the only building in the training camp.
“This is where the U.S. U-17 players’ dormitory, indoor training field, restaurant, tactical meeting room, etc. are all integrated into one place!”
“You will understand the details later!”
Beijiang briefly introduced it and walked directly into the building.
Tezuka Kunimitsu and the others also took a quick look and hurried to follow.
As soon as they entered the door,
Beijiang saw Reinhardt, Dudu and Chike waiting. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
“Northern Frontier!”
“John!”
As soon as they saw Beijiang and John, Reinhardt and the others greeted them with a smile.
“You guys are really free! I wanted to take them to the training ground to find you, but I didn’t expect you to wait here!”
Beijiang smiled and spoke softly.[]
John stood with Chico Dudu and the others.
Although the relationship between Reinhardt and the others and John could not be compared with that between them and Hopkins, they also had frequent contact before and were very harmonious.
Tezuka Kunimitsu and the other two stood behind Kitakami, subconsciously sizing up the three high school students in front of them with different figures.
From the way these three greeted Kitakami and John, they guessed that these three probably had a high status in the U.S. U-17 training camp.
Hopkins walked up to Reinhardt and the others, and introduced Tezuka Kunimitsu and the other two,”He is our current U.S. U-17 team captain Ralph Reinhardt! He is a senior in high school!”
After hearing his introduction, Tezuka Kunimitsu and the other two’s expressions changed.
Captain!!
They had heard from Kitakami before that the captain of the U.S. U-17 team was………World-class players!
They are the top tennis players who are qualified to compete as professional players in the World Professional Tennis League!
For a moment, even the self-familiar Kintaro Toyama and the fearless Kanto delinquent Jin Akutsu were a little confused about how to address them.
“Haha, don’t be nervous! Beijiang has already given you a general introduction to your situation!”
“Since I’m here at the U.S. U-17, although I’m older than you, you can call me captain, or just call me by my name! Reinhardt!”
Seeing the three’s reserve, Reinhardt chuckled and said.
Tezuka Kunimitsu and the other two relaxed a little and greeted in unison:”Captain!”
Hopkins saw this and introduced them again:”They are both high school players from the U.S. U-17 team!”
“Chico Balentin! Freshman in high school!”
“Dudu Obondu! Third year of high school!”
Tezuka Kunimitsu and the other two also greeted the two of them separately, and they were officially introduced to each other.
“Hey hey hey! Northern Xinjiang, isn’t there another one called……��Jiping! Yes! That’s the name! Why didn’t that junior high school student come?” Qi Ke asked curiously…..
Hopkins also reacted at this time
“Yes! I didn’t notice it just now! Aren’t there four junior high school students? Why is one person missing?”
“Is there something wrong with Neon? Could it be that Neon U-17 is here to snatch players again?”
For a moment, even Reinhardt frowned.
If it was really Neon U-17 who was snatching players, and repeatedly trying to steal players from US U-17, he could no longer tolerate it.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became a little depressing.
Tezuka Kunimitsu and the other two also felt that the four high school students in front of them had become different from the easy-going ones before.
Beijiang shook his head and said slowly:”You don’t have to think too much. Since the last time the Neon U-17 people came and were defeated by Tezuka and his men, there has been no movement!”
“Tachibana Jiping didn’t come this time, I asked him to stay in the tennis club!”
“As for the reason……I’ll tell you in detail later!”
“Oh, right! Dudu, Chico! Take them to the dormitory first, and then go to the test field in half an hour! They also need to formally register the player information of the U-17 training camp in the United States!”
Hearing that it was not the Japanese U-17 who was causing trouble, Reinhardt and the others relaxed their frowns.
“There’s no need to rush, right? After all, they just got off the plane not long ago! Why not test it tomorrow?”
“That’s right! Northern Xinjiang! They are all junior high school students, and this is their first time at the training camp! The schedule is too tight! Can the test be taken at any time?”
“Besides, at worst, we can just register with John’s data! Anyway, we all trust you and John!”
Reinhard and Chico obviously subconsciously wanted to take better care of Tezuka Kunimitsu and the other two.
Beijiang glanced at them and said,”When I first joined, you didn’t even let me take a break! I started a round-robin battle with Harold and the others!”
Reinhard and Chico couldn’t help but touch their noses in embarrassment.
“Wasn’t it Harold who took the initiative to attack?”
After saying that, the two stopped expressing their opinions.
After all, Beijiang was the person in charge of the junior high school students in the team.
“It’s okay!! Reinhard! Chico! Akutsu-san, Tezuka-san and I all rested on the plane!”
“Except that I’m a little hungry! Let’s eat something so we can do the test you mentioned!!”
Toryama Kintaro patted his chest and spoke confidently.
“That’s right! I came to the U-17 team to see what the difference is between here and the tennis club!……I’d like to see if I can fight one of you!”
There was a hint of bad intention in Akutsu Jin’s words.
Even though he knew that Reinhard and the others must be very strong, he still kept his eyes on them.
Tezuka Kunimitsu adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said softly:”The test is also a special training for us! If we can find the shortcomings in this test!”
“I’d like to start as soon as possible!”
The attitudes of the three people made Reinhardt and the other three show different expressions.
“Interesting! Sure enough, the players that Beijiang values are not ordinary junior high school students!”
2.3″Isn’t it just that I’m hungry! Come on! Chico and I will take you to a big meal!!”
Dudu raised his eyebrows at Kintaro Toyama and said.
Chico is also a very outgoing person. He raised his hand and hooked Akutsu Jin’s shoulder.
He even felt that the latter’s body was obviously stiff, and he was not used to this way of getting along. A playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Before following Dudu and Chico, Tezuka Kunimitsu nodded slightly to Reinhardt and Hopkins.
This move also made Reinhardt and the others, who already admired Tezuka Kunimitsu very much, feel better.
“”Where is that guy?” Beijiang asked Reinhardt after Dudu and the others had gone far away.
Reinhardt naturally knew.
Who else could Beijiang be referring to as”that guy” other than Echizen Ryuga?
“This guy didn’t stay in training camp very long after you left!”
“But he didn’t leave the United States, he just went to the West! It seems like he was traveling!”
“I heard that you were coming back, and he should be on his way back to the training camp now!”
Reinhardt said softly.
Beijiang could see that although Reinhardt did not complain, he still had some headaches about Echizen Ryuga.
“I’ll talk to him when he comes back!”
“However, as long as he doesn’t cause any trouble in the training camp, you don’t have to worry too much about him!”
“Even if he really trains in the training camp like you guys every day, I’m afraid you will find it hard to trust him, right?”
Reinhardt smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Beijiang was right about this!
“Then let’s go to the main control room first! Hopkins, please bring a pizza for me and Beijiang! I’m really hungry too!”
John said so that Reinhardt and the others did not object.
One of them walked towards the restaurant on the first floor.
The other accompanied Beijiang and John to the main control room on the fourth floor to monitor the test court.
