Chapter 14: The Aftermath
Chapter 14: The Aftermath
Shiraishi's awakening did surprise many people, not to mention the people in Japan, and it also caused a lot of repercussions in New York.
A teenager from Japan reappeared on the pages of the sports newspaper. Although compared to other professional tennis players, his share is quite insignificant. But no one can deny that this 16-year-old boy has now become a hot topic in this competition. People no longer call him a dark horse, because he has absolute strength in his own right.
Having the ability to easily defeat world-class players is terrifying to think about. And his young age is also a bit excessive, which makes many people look forward to his future, because they will witness the birth of another legend
Green Street in New York, where the crowds are very sparse, does not look like a street in a major city in the United States. Actually, it does belong to New York, but it's a little further from the city center. New York isn't bustling everywhere either, and the city, like any other metropolis, is a border between heaven and hell, where rich and poor coexist.
The Erhao community is a housing area with an average price. In the United States, although people also have to deal with houses, but not as strong as in China, people's needs for houses are very ordinary.
And this community, from the beginning of sales to the present, the situation is not very good. As a result, it became a gathering point for the U.S. U.S. U-17 tennis team.
In a certain room in the community, there are several young people. Not just white people, among them there is a black man with a broomhead. The man was smiling, and in his hand was a copy of yesterday's sports newspaper. However, it was a newspaper dedicated to yesterday's junior game. The image above is the action of Shiraishi hitting the ball.
He was patiently watching, perusing the words of praise used by media reporters for the Japanese teenager.
And next to him is Carrys, who was praised by the American media as a tennis genius. And he, who was originally sunny on the outside and full of the confidence of a young genius, seemed a little restrained at the moment. He also had a newspaper in his hand, and the contents were the same as those of the black man, except that his mind was not on it. Because his eyes would not drift to the young man opposite him.
This is an extraordinary person.
The young man had the same handsome blonde hair as Iris, but longer than Iris's. Because his hair was too long, on his head he could see a long band of unknown shape, somewhat like a straw rope woven from some kind of plant.
Similarly, the young man had a rather handsome face. However, compared with Iris, it is a little more mature, and vicissitudes.
At this time, the young man did not have a newspaper in his hand, and he did not look at the two people opposite, but closed his eyes. The calm breathing made one mistake for him to be asleep, if he didn't have that faint smile on his face.
But it was this bland smile that made Iris cheer up for twelve points, and he didn't dare to go beyond it.
Finally, just when Iris felt that time had stood still, the young man spoke.
"Dudu, how's it going?"
When Dudu, the black young man with the broomstick, heard this, he put away the newspaper in his hand. He straightened his body and said, "Very strong! ”
"Oh?"
The young man didn't expect Du Du to say these two words, originally he thought that the other party would say things like "not bad" and "okay". I didn't expect Du Du to open his mouth, but it was such a strict word.
Iris was also a little surprised, with his knowledge of black people, the other party was not the kind of person who liked to joke. That is to say, the Japanese player named Kuranosuke Shiraishi really has extraordinary combat power.
The young man frowned and said, "Tell me the reason." ”
The black man named Du Du did not dare to slack off, he took out a small notebook from his pocket, and then turned one of the pages, and said: "This man's name is Shiraishi Kuranosuke, and he has just turned sixteen years old and less than a month. ”
"He is the No.3 of the Japanese U-17 team, and he played a friendly match against South Korea for Japan two months ago, and he easily defeated the opponent's No.1 in the match, showing his strong strength."
"He disappeared for almost a month after the game, and later it was said that he spent a few days in Okinawa."
Then he led his school's team to their regional competition, and oh! I forgot to mention that he is the head of their school's tennis club, which is equivalent to the status of captain of your team. ”
"Then he was selected to represent Japan for this tournament, and then for these two tournaments in the United States." After Du Du finished speaking, he looked at the young man opposite with a calm face.
After hearing this, the young man frowned and said, "That's all? ”
Du Du spread his hands: "That's all!" ”
Then he said: "Although the information is a little small, at least you can see the current strength of the other party." ”
"Huh!"
Iris on the side couldn't turn his brain a little, what does it mean to be able to at least see the strength of the other party? Could it be that he is still hiding his strength?
"Huh?"
Iris was taken aback by the idea that popped up on him, but the more he thought about it, the more likely it became. What Shiraishi showed yesterday was a different technique, not the same trick he used against Tony last time. Then with this, he can indeed but have the word "very strong" in Du Du's mouth.
Iris didn't know what the young man thought, he glanced at Du Du, and said with some uncertainty: "Du Du, is it really that trick?" ”
Du Du nodded and said to the young man seriously: "That's right! ”
"Whew!"
After getting Du Du's answer, the young man took a deep breath, and then seemed to have made a decision, looked at Iris with a sideways face, and said to him: "Iris, if you meet him in the semi-finals, don't go head-to-head with him, you can also choose to give up when appropriate." ”
"Huh?"
The young man's words stunned Iris, but then he was incredulous. Oh my God, is this still the captain of their U-17s? Or that stern, smiling reaper?
Seeing Iris's reaction, the smile on the young man's face froze, and his eyebrows slowly frowned.
"Huh!"
Iris broke out in a cold sweat, and he quickly replied, "I know, captain!" ”
"Okay, you go back first, I still have something to discuss with Du Du!" After receiving Arieth's assurance, the young man spoke.
"Okay!"
Iris replied, then picked up the clothes from the couch and got up and walked out.
"Bang!"
Closing the door, Iris let out a long sigh, what a crazy day it was. Then, he took a breath, and that confident smile appeared on his face.
"I'm not the kind of person who would surrender!" In his view, a proper renunciation is surrender.
After Iris left, Dudu finally couldn't hold back his laughter, and he said to the young man, "Ralph, you're too him!" ”
Who knew that the young man, that is, Ralph, put away his smile and said with some sternness: "This is his responsibility in the future, after we leave, he will have to support the whole team." And, if that's really the trick, giving up might be the best option. ”
Dudu was silent
On the other side, in a large tennis club, Chen Shangwu, who is known as the first seed player in the youth group, is facing a Chinese youth with a black face at the moment.
"Hey, I said, why don't you tell me sooner if you want to come."
The young man across from him smiled: "Sue you? You haven't closed the store early! By the way, are you really so disgusted with the two of us? ”
After listening to the young man's words, Chen Shangwu's face darkened, and his voice became louder: "Get out, dead fatty, Lao Tzu is annoyed when he sees you." And that guy, hear me clearly, you're the last person I want to see. ”
In fact, the young man is not fat, but he has a round face, and he has been called fat by everyone all the time, which has become his nickname.
Hearing his words, the young man was not angry, but laughed even more, and he said softly: "Why, is it because I am afraid that the handsome me will rob you of your peach blossom luck?" ”
Without waiting for Chen Shangwu to answer, the young man continued: "Hehe, seeing that you have such good peach blossom luck, I have made up my mind for your brother!" ”
He was greeted with a loud roar: "Get out! ”
The two buried each other for a while, and then the young man said a little seriously: "That Japanese boy really used that trick?" ”
Chen Shangwu nodded.
"The youth stopped talking
Not only here, but after the game, many players secretly met with people from their organization. Among them is Courell. Kevin, he quietly met a young man dressed in black in a suburban villa in New York.
Robert, another black man, was in a slum in New York, reporting to his captain about yesterday's game.
For a time, the undercurrent surged.
Shiraishi didn't know that because of his unintentional actions, he had brought about a series of many changes. At this time, he was talking to Nanako on the phone, and no matter how much it changed, he didn't care
