However, looking at such a grouping, the Japanese team looks very calm. That's right, at least it seems that everyone looks the same, quietly watching the rostrum, as if they are divided into a group of European giants, and they don't pay attention to it at all.

"Humph! It's really pretending! But I'll let you know what happens to us in the Czech Republic! In the European team, a white man who looked fifteen or sixteen years old sneered.

"Shut up Kafka! If you're still in this state of mind for a while, don't think about playing! A stern voice rang out. The white young man shrank his neck, looked at the big bald head in front of him, spread his hands and smiled: "How can it be, Captain, I will definitely use the best mentality to play!" ”

The bald head, that is, the captain of the Czech team, Alos. Ivocek nodded: "That's the best!" ”

"Hee-hee!" When the bald Alos turned around, the white man next to Kafka laughed: "You deserve it!" Knowing that the captain is behind, and still talking nonsense, he should be scolded! ”

"Humph!" Kafka snorted lightly, glanced in the direction of the Japanese team quietly, and said softly: "What I said was originally the truth, Japan? Do the turtle countries on the eastern side also know what tennis is? ”

The companion next to him looked at him helplessly, but he didn't say anything, but he still wanted the captain to pay attention. After all, there is competition in the team, and if Kafka can't play, he will have a chance.

The opening ceremony ended quickly, and the host announced several matches for today at the same time. They are: China vs South Korea at 11 o'clock, Australia vs Malaysia. Japan vs Czech Republic, Spain vs Switzerland at 14 o'clock.

As for Germany and the United States, the two equally promising teams, they are scheduled for tomorrow. After all, the organizers also have to consider the ratings of the game, and if all the favourites are lined up, then the audience for the rest of the game will be pitiful.

When it was all over, the Japanese team returned to the lounge.

Kirihara let out a long sigh of relief, after all, standing for such a long time, and having to listen to others babble a lot of things, with his character, it was already very good to be able to endure the whole process. He smiled: "I didn't expect it to be so hard to have an opening ceremony, but fortunately, there is only the closing ceremony left!" ”

His words were originally just emotion, but when he heard them, the smell changed in everyone's ears. Sanada's face changed, and he said angrily: "Kirihara, it's too presumptuous!" What do you think it is that such an important game is so lax? ”

Sanada's words startled Kirihara, and he said with some grievances: "I didn't mean that." Besides, we can play in this game and let's talk about it! Hearing his words, Sanada fell silent, and the room was extremely quiet.

In fact, Kirihara's words are the voice of many people, especially those who are behind in the first and second armies. Fortunately, the second army is okay, even if they didn't play in this game, they have accumulated some experience in world competitions, at least the scene has been watched. But the players behind the first team, many of whom are in their third year of high school, will withdraw from the U-17 after this competition, which is their last World Cup appearance.

The silence was finally broken, only to see Phoenix stand up, he looked at everyone, "The game is still very long, no one knows what will happen!" As for who will play in the game, this is the coach's arrangement, you just do your own thing and stay in good shape! Perhaps seeing the loneliness on most people's faces, Phoenix's voice was soft.

Fujiya smiled and said, "Yes, this is not just the World Cup for a few of us, but for everyone, all of Japan's tennis dreams!" ”

Although these words are a bit empty, for the few people who have experienced the hardest time, it speaks to their hearts. That's right, the current Japanese team may not be ranked first, but doesn't this also prove the strength of the Japanese team? With the current unprecedented lineup, it may be able to win the position that makes countless people and all the teams fight for it.

Isn't that what they've been fighting for for two years?

The atmosphere in the room gradually eased, and Phoenix also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, now at this critical moment, he didn't want to be unstable internally. Speaking of which, he also couldn't figure out the rules of this world competition, which seemed to be redundant for a simple tennis match.

"Alright, let's all disperse! It's up to you to eat and watch the game, but you'll have to be back here before twelve. Also, it is forbidden to go out without permission during this time! As he spoke, Phoenix deliberately looked in the direction of Shiraishi.

Shiraishi shrugged, grabbed his bag and walked out. During this time, only sleeping and moving the body are the best choices, as for watching the battle and obtaining intelligence, that is the task of the three of them in Mitsuya.

After a while, he came to the park to warm up and train. Perhaps with the same attention as Shiraishi, there are already a lot of people in this place. However, when everyone saw Shiraishi coming, they all gradually dispersed and kept a certain distance from him.

"Uh" Shiraishi had no choice but to take out his racket to practice swinging. Time and time again, slowly regain the sensation of the body.

At this time, a voice came: "What a coincidence! Shiraishi looked back and saw that it was Rafael, and he asked curiously, "Your next opponent is Switzerland, right?" ”

Rafael nodded with a smile, and said naturally: "It seems that no one is fighting with you, so why don't I warm up with you!" ”

Shiraishi did not refuse, and the two had a certain friendship after the last game. Besides, he also wanted to test the strength of the other party, this guy he was familiar with but couldn't remember, made him care a lot.

The match between the two also attracted a lot of players to watch, and they were very curious about how much strength the guy who played with that man was.

However, to their disappointment, neither Shiraishi nor Rafael was serious. But the sharp-eyed person still found it interesting, and at the feet of the white stone and Raphael, a regular circle gradually formed.

"It's a field!" Someone said it, which attracted the curious eyes of many people.

The so-called field (i.e., Tezuka field) is the embodiment of a skilled player. This trick is unpretentious, but it has a very high practical value, and some people have even developed new tricks based on this trick. However, it's not that world-class players will use the field, and the field is also divided into strong and weak, the same field, Tezuka's field is basically useless to players of the ghost level, but Shiraishi's is different.

Naturally, the fields of Shiraishi and Raphael are of the top kind. Moreover, those with outstanding eyesight have found that Rafael's control over the spin of the ball is even better than that of Shiraishi. Of course, this does not rule out Shiraishi's hidden strength.

However, only Shiraishi himself knew that the man on the other side had a very strong control over the spin. In the calm game, the two were actually fighting for every point of dirt, and with the strength that came through the racket, Shiraishi was sure that Rafael was actually a power player.

"Nope! Maybe he and I are the same type of player! Shiraishi's heart moved, and something suddenly came to mind, "Only in this way can I explain why I think he is very familiar!" ”

The match between the two continued, although it was only a warm-up, but it was also interesting to see the people around them. The strength is poor, and I can feel the rotation attached to the ball, and I think the two of them are very powerful. As for those with sufficient eyesight, they can also understand the use of some skills from the return of the two, and naturally, they also admire the two.

In the end, Shiraishi won Rafael 6-4, and the surrounding audience also gave warm applause. Even, this has become the talk of the World Cup, and it has become a game that people talk about in the future.

Separated from Rafael, Shiraishi returned to the lounge and went to the inner room to lie down and rest. When I woke up again, it was already past eleven o'clock, and after a brief lunch, I returned to the lounge, and everyone was already here.

I just listened to the second word: "The Chinese team is very powerful, it looks like Riji's martial arts-style tennis!" Who knew that the ministry shook his head after hearing this, and he sighed, "Hiyoshi? If that guy has this kind of strength, I can rest assured that the Ice Emperor will hand it over to him! ”

Kirihara also said with some excitement: "Yes! Looks like the guy who played today is only in the first grade, right? Everyone looked at Kintaro, only to see that he was originally lively and active, but at the moment he frowned and said in a deep voice: "It's very powerful!" ”

Shiraishi suddenly felt that he might have missed a good match. However, he doesn't have many regrets, and if China makes it to the final, he may still be able to see Kintaro and that man fight. "In that case, it would be interesting."

At this time, he also saw the data table on the table, China defeated South Korea 3-0, and the host country Australia also beat Malaysia unexpectedly!

Phoenix stood up, with a hint of disdain in his cold eyes: "Playing tricks will never be on the stage!! ”

"As for the tournament list, it has been decided, doubles two: Nakagawa Nakaimichi, Ishida Gin! Doubles 1: Chitose Chisatose, Tachibana Tachibana! Singles 3: Oni Jujiro! Singles two: Shuji Tanejima! Singles One: Byodoin Phoenix, well, that's me! Follow-up, Sanada Koichiro! ”

However, Phoenix's slightly slotted words did not attract everyone's teasing, and everyone looked at him blankly. Kirihara swallowed even more and muttered, "This lineup is also too luxurious, right?" ”

That's right, luxury! The idea popped into everyone's mind.

Doubles may be flawed, but the singles lineup is truly luxurious. Ghosts, Taneshima, and Phoenix are all the top people in the team, and as for Sanada, who is in the back, he is also the one who broke through the strength of another dimension before yesterday.

Fuji smiled bitterly: "If the Czech team knows about this" He didn't finish, but everyone could think of the other party's reaction.

"Ahem" At this time, Phoenix coughed twice and said: "Actually, no, Taneshima has basically never played abroad, so other countries do not have his detailed information." ”

"Poof!" Someone couldn't help but squirt out a sip of tea, it was Qianye, pure as he was also scolding in his heart for being insidious. At the same time, he was even more in awe of Mifune, "Nima, now the Czech team is estimated to cry and faint in the toilet!" ”

However, Shiraishi was thoughtful, and hid players of Tanejima's level until now, thinking that Mifune had already planned to exert their strength in this World Cup

The minutes ticked by, and it was two o'clock in the afternoon.

A group of 33 members of the Japanese team arrived at the venue of the competition, and at the same time, the Czech team also arrived. After a brief salute from both sides, and after the head coach handed over the game list, the referee shouted: "Now for the first round of the World Cup, the match between the Japanese team and the Czech team!" ”

"The first match, doubles two: Japan's Nakagawawai Michi, Ishida Silver vs Czech team Morad. Novak, Dilaf. Holt! ”
