Chapter 66: Not Fighting?
"When is it going to be played?!" Sumire Ryuzaki was stunned, she didn't expect Sakaki to call to ask about this kind of thing, after all, the participants of the game can know all about it as long as they are on the day of the game, is it necessary to be in such a hurry? It's just that the object of the question is actually the little guy from Edogawa. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
A look of amusement crossed her eyes, and Sumire Ryuzaki said lightly: "She doesn't plan to compete in the Tokyo Olympics. ”
"Don't make it?!" Sakaki raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the girl sitting on the sofa, narrowed his phoenix eyes, and spoke again: "Are you sure?" ”
"Well, there's no way, that's her own arrangement." Sumire Tatsuzaki came from the phone, accompanied by the sound of turning the pages, "Although the decision is up to me, her name is not on the list from beginning to end, even Fujiwara's is only in the list of finals today and in the future, well, it is the finals." ”
Finals?
Seed Tournament.
Sakaki frowned, although each school will arrange the players in advance, but it will only be arranged for the next three games on the premise of winning the game. In addition, the number of matches in the preliminary round is twelve, the finals are seven, and the finals are three, that is to say, no matter how much you arrange in advance, you can only arrange three games at most, after all, the winners and losers of these three games are unknown, and if you lose, then the later arrangements are useless, so many people will not arrange more.
And Qingxue's even arranged the finals, so they think they can win the next game? Although the current matches have always ended in perfect victory, who can guarantee that they will not face strong opponents in the future? It is impossible to go on undefeated, should he say that they are arrogant or confident?
"Thanks," Sakaki retracted his thoughts, and instructed, "Please let me know if she'll be playing at the Tokyo Metropolitan Conference." ”
"Huh?" Sumire Ryuzaki raised her eyebrows, and then, the corners of her mouth hooked, "Well, Sakaki, you actually care about this." Do you want to resist with your ace Chizuru Matsumoto? Does this count as a war letter? ”
Sakaki was slightly stunned, and his gaze fell on the trees beyond the transparent glass, the groomed trees were the same height, but at the moment they were shrouded in the night, and they couldn't see very clearly. Sakaki thought for a moment and said, "Well, sort of." ”
"Really?" Sumire Ryuzaki smiled, it seems that Sakaki is now facing up to the women's tennis of Qingxue, no, it should be said that it has been valued since that water volleyball match, otherwise, Matsumoto who is far away in Germany will not be brought back. Closing the list on the table, "I'll tell her, but I can't guarantee she'll play at the Tokyo Olympics." ”
"Ah, thanks." Hanging up, Sakaki placed the phone on the table, his eyes still falling on the bushes outside the window.
Feeling his movements, the girl on the sofa opened her dark eyes, her cold look slowly swayed under the lenses, and her cold voice carried a faint coldness, "Coach Sakaki, what do you say?" ”
Sakaki turned around and spoke, "She won't be competing at the Tokyo Olympics for a while. ”
"Won't you play at the Tokyo Olympics?" Matsumoto was momentarily stunned, "Is it that you haven't been out of the race?" ”
"Hmm."
Matsumoto tightened his fingers, "What about the finals?" ”
Sakaki shook his head slightly, "Only Fujiwara will appear in the finals, and it should be the first singles." ”
"Fujiwara?" Matsumoto's eyes darkened slightly, and although he was already expecting it, he was still disappointed. There is only one person she identifies as an opponent - Edogawa, and in her opinion, only Edogawa is qualified to fight with her, and she doesn't care about the others.
That's why she came to Coach Sakaki after training to ask her about her playing time, and she wanted to face her directly, rather than being staggered by her teammates.
"Don't care too much," Sakaki took a sip of coffee in one hand in his purse and coffee in the other, "The Edogawa River is just an obstacle, just find a way to get over it." Don't forget what you're playing tennis for. ”
Matsumoto stiffened, and glanced at Sakaki, with a faint complexity in his eyes. Then he stood up and bowed, "I see, Coach." However, if there is a chance......" paused, but still said: "I still want to fight her." With that, he turned and left.
Sakaki didn't speak, just glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and then withdrew.
Edogawa's non-competition is also something he didn't expect at all, the Qingxue led by her, the strength is indeed first-class, and it may even be among the top 16 in the country, after all, last year's NO.18 in the top 20 in the country has been defeated in their hands, so it can be seen that their strength will definitely not be weak.
If nothing else, this year's Tokyo Metropolitan Finals will be a competition between Seigaku and their Ice Emperor, as well as a seeding tournament in Tokyo.
At the moment, the most likely team to win the heavy seeded team will be Qingxue or Ice Emperor, which will become an undoubted fact after the preliminary round, after all, Qingxue has this capital, doesn't it?
In addition, if Edogawa competes, then Tokyo's No. 1 and No. 2 seeds will be between Edogawa and Matsumoto, with the winner being first and the loser being second. The third seed will be between Aogaku's Fujiwara Kuna, their Ice Emperor's Ibuki and Junko Asahina, Kitano's Naori Kikuchi, and Asahi Hill's Koga Village, with Fujiwara and Ibuki the most likely.
Overall, the possibility of Qingxue being selected as the top three seeded players is very large, in addition, there are also heavy seeded teams, whether it is a player or a team, the threat of Qingxue is undoubtedly huge.
Sakaki narrowed his eyelids, and his gaze fell on the distant sky, the inky blue sky, and the bright galaxy was emitting dazzling light, just like the rising Qingxue.
"Ahh Back at the villa, Arai put the tennis bag on the side of the sofa, and the person threw himself on the sofa with a pop, "Why are we walking back?" ”
"Yanagi has just woken up, and he needs to take a walk to sober up, and if he takes the car, he will probably feel uncomfortable." Kitajima smiled and spontaneously walked to the kitchen, told the chef what he needed to cook today, and walked back.
"Now, I'm not that weak." Yanagi smiled faintly, his expression was still light, and he turned to look at Sakuraichi who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, and said, "Why did Sakuraichi refuse to go to dinner?" ”
Sakura glanced at her and then withdrew her gaze, her voice indifferent, "You just woke up, you can't eat greasy food, and Sang Yu's arm can't be used for the time being, otherwise it will affect recovery, if you want to get together, it's tomorrow." ”
The dinner party was proposed by Yagyu Hiroshi, mainly to have a good reunion with Yagyu Yumiko, after all, Yanagi only goes home once a week, and Yanagi Hiroshi is still very concerned about this sister in his heart.
"Nana, it's tomorrow," Shoko was instantly excited, blinked at the big and round cat's eyes, and reached out to poke Rina who had fallen asleep all the way back, "Rina Rina, let's go to dinner tomorrow." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Sakuraichi again, "Minister, where are we going to play during the day?" Would you like to go ice skating and watch a movie first, and then go to dinner? ”
"Well, that's ...... too"
Buzz –
Just as he was about to agree, the vibration of the mobile phone interrupted Sakuraichi's words, and when he took it out, it was actually Coach Ryuzaki's, frowning slightly, so he answered, said a few words of greeting, and went straight to the point.
"Well, Edogawa, are you sure you won't make the finals?"
