"That...... Kawasaki, Kawasaki seniors...... What the hell is this person talking about?" asked Reiko Kajiwara in a respectful and careful tone, feeling gloomy happy that her opponent who had just defeated her, Tachibana being sprayed in public, but she seemed to have missed some bloody drama of the year - it was really tangled!
The corners of Kawasaki Narumi's mouth twitched, and she was still a little more pleasant to Kajiwara Reiko, the obvious Chengmei chef, thinking that she couldn't collapse in front of her brainless fans, so she quickly replied in a cold tone: "Ah, this orange apricot, who once provoked Kibe-kun for unknown reasons, used the excuse of 'street tennis court competition' for naïve reasons." ”
Reiko Kajiwara suddenly realized. Several other juniors who were also from the Ice Emperor suddenly realized. Only Kaoru Nitta smiled mockingly.
"Ah, of course you know very well - you were one of the people who 'kindly' ran to sue Sù Liu Quan-kun at that time, right?"
Before Kawasaki Narumi could answer, Nobuya Yanagizumi, who had just appeared on the side, was the first to react.
"Speaking of which, the victory on the street tennis court is not a big deal. But it's always good to be able to keep winning. She glanced at Tachibana, then turned her gun on Kawasaki without warning.
"I'm looking forward to seeing if I can win in front of you today, Kawasaki-kun. ”
Narumi Kawasaki had an extremely frightened expression on her face.
"You're ......?!" she exclaimed, "just, based on your current physical condition......!!, aren't you......?"
A deep, steady voice came from behind them, interrupting Kawasaki's slightly rude exclamation.
"This is the opponent I invited to practice with you, Kawasaki-kun. ”
Everyone turned in the direction in which the man was speaking.
Kunimitsu Tezuka, the top men's tennis player in Neon China, stood in the first row of the courtside stands, his hands clasped in front of his chest, his attitude was stern, and his tone was calm.
In the first row of the stands on the other side of the group of women's players from the Ice Emperor, Tetsuto Kawasaki, a former tennis player who has retired and turned tennis match commentators and Kawasaki Narumi's eldest brother, suddenly stood up.
"This ...... It can't be ——!!."
He saw the former tennis genius girl, Shi Shiran walked to the other end of the net, as if she heard his roar, she smiled at him across a net and half of the court.
"Nothing is impossible, Tetsuto-kun Kawasaki. He heard her voice as clear as ever, as if it had been many years ago when he had accompanied his sister to the elementary school tournament and saw the talented girl appear on the other side of the net for the first time.
At that time, Yanagizumi Nobuya, who was in the same year as her sister, easily won with a score of 6-2 - no, even the two games that her sister won by luck were caused by Yanagizumi Nobuya's careless chipping and smashing too hard to guide the ball out of bounds at the game point, strictly speaking, it was not because her sister's ball skills surpassed her.
Later, my sister worked hard to get to where she is today, becoming a player in the first team of the U-20 national team, and even if she was selected as a substitute at first, it was already a high achievement - but the talented girl who easily beat her sister had to give up tennis because of Yan Zòng's injury. At that time, this news shocked the entire domestic tennis world as soon as it was announced, and a series of negative news about her that followed almost ruined this talented girl at that time. As a tennis commentator, of course, he also felt regrettable for the girl's fall, but as an older brother, he was very unkindly relieved - that genius girl could no longer threaten his important sister in the slightest.
…… But who knew that she would have the moment to stand on the tennis court again?!
Tetsuto Kawasaki glanced around unconvinced.
On the sidelines, Kunimitsu Tezuka, a young men's tennis player who has been training in Germany for many years and is now an internationally watched player, stood there with a stern expression. Although I don't know when he became familiar with Yanagizumi Nobuya, who represented the Ice Emperor Women's Tennis Department, as the head of the Youth Tennis Department before going abroad, it is impossible to expect him to oppose her as his sister's opponent just because he is the recommender of Yanagizumi Nobuya's appearance today.
And beside him, in the first row of the spectator seats in the stands of the court, sat several tennis teenagers who he was already familiar with when he was commenting on the national tournament - no, he should at least be called tennis youth now.
Lined up over there are several high-profile players from the national team's U-20 age group, including the Shinobu Yu of the Ice Emperor Academy, the Shinobu Kenya of the Four Heavenly Treasure Temple, and two players who are more deeply tied to the former talented girl who has just stepped onto the court - the former head of the tennis department of the Four Heavenly Treasure Temple, Shiraishi Kuranosuke, who played a practice match with Yanagizumi Nobuya and guided her to a serious injury that ended her tennis life, and the first person of the Ice Emperor that year, the head of the tennis department, Keigo Shiraishi.
Just looking at the lineup of these people, he knew that it would not be able to stop Yanagizumi Nobuya from playing today - his only hope now was that Yanagizumi Nobuya was really like the legend, the waist and shoulder injuries were so severe that they were not enough to play the whole game, after all, he also knew in his heart that the tricks she relied on to become famous back then were almost impossible to complete without enough waist and shoulder strength to support them.
And give up those tricks, and just rely on ordinary skills such as volleying, changing lines, and chipping balls?...... No, no, that won't beat today's sister. After all, my sister is already a first-tier player of the national team at this age, and she is not the kind of person who can win with the ordinary skills that everyone can do.
The philosopher stood on the sidelines, feeling a nervous cold sweat gradually break out in the palms of his hands.
Aside from the initial surprise at the unexpected opponent, my sister did not dispute the arrangement of the practice match - it would be unwise to refuse a practice match that an internationally renowned player would introduce to her.
And even if the other party has high talent and talent, the well-known physical condition no longer allows her to play 100% - maybe she can't even use half of her talent; such an opponent has defeated her opponent before, and if she beats her now, he may win back his reputation and self-confidence.
Probably with this in mind, the younger sister walked to the net, shook hands with Nobuya Yanagizumi in a friendly manner, and then returned to their own half.
The presiding judge signaled that after guessing the coin, Nobuya Yanagizumi took the lead in serving.
Then the philosopher noticed that Nobuya Yanagiizumi, who was standing behind the service line, paused subtly before starting to serve, and then tilted her head slightly as if she was careless, and took a deep breath, as if to relieve the tension of re-entering the court after a few years, but her eyes drifted to the side of the court without a trace.
The philosopher doesn't have to look along her line of sight to know where it ends.
…… The group of tennis teenagers...... No, youth.
At first when he noticed the young men, they were still sitting in the first row of seats with happy faces. But now that the referee has been sided, the ball has been decided, and the game is about to start, he finds that the current permutations of those young people have changed a little.
Kunimitsu Tezuka, who introduced Nobuya Yanaizumi to compete with her sister today, stood side by side in front of the seats in the first row with Nobuya Yanaizumi's legendary ex-boyfriend Keigo Junjibu, and next to them, Kuranosuke Shiraishi, who was the opponent of Shiraizumi Nobuya when he was seriously injured, and Shinobu Nobuya's classmate Shinobu and his cousin Kenya Shinobu in the Ice Emperor era, also stood up one after another.
Speaking of which, why did these top players in the men's tennis world appear together to support Yanagizumi Nobuya...... This is one of the most perplexing questions for philosophers.
It is sad that Nobuya Yanagizumi has lost her dazzling talents, but even in the era when she had those talents, her character cannot be said to be very likable.
In fact, even as a teammate in the Ice Emperor era, Kawasaki Narumi should be very familiar with Yanagizumi Nobuya's daily interpersonal relationships, and she has never said that Yanagizumi Nobuya can still develop any friendship worthy of showing up today to support her return to the game under that kind of careless and unsightly arrogant painting style - the philosopher remembers that his sister even had a bit of schadenfreude in a gossip tone, saying that everyone in the Ice Emperor said that Yanagizumi Nobua's relationship with Keigo was just "a pretentious façade of high society" That's it, "everyone knows that this kind of thing will end sooner or later."
And later, it was indeed all over. Whether it's the so-called masked relationship, or Nobuya Yanagizumi's tennis career.
Who knew she would be able to get up from the dark abyss of life and get back on the pitch?!
Moreover, she had been drowning in the dark abyss for so long, and had been living for so long as a vibrato, vitriol, betrayal, and hostile to the world...... How could she win back the understanding, concern, and friendship of those teenagers?! And those concerns and friendships, the warmth that could not be easily obtained, could continue to develop in such an incredible direction?
