Chapter Twenty-Eight: Ready to Go
Chapter 28 is pending
At night, the inn where Shitenhoji Temple is located.
The group had already fallen asleep, and in the living room, only Shiraishi and Xiu were left. Xiu came over in the afternoon, after all, it was the final, and the coach of the team, he should also appear. And when he rushed over, he was coming back to Baishi and his party, and he was generous once, and he paid for dinner.
The reason is that the sponsorship of the Four Heavenly Treasure Temple is increasing, and the salary of his team coach has also risen and risen. Of course, the food is still flowing water somen noodles
In the room, Xiu looked at Bai Shi, who was seriously revising the preliminary list, and a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes. And when he saw the roster, he was taken aback.
"Chitose put in singles three? Koharu and Yuji are doubles twos? ”
Shiraishi turned around, saw Xiu's surprised look, nodded and said, "That's right, the other party's singles No. 3 may be Sanada." If you play singles, it will definitely be Yukimura. The only one who can compete with Sanada on the team is Chitose. ”
"That's not right." Shu shook his head, took the list sheet in Shiraishi's hand, crossed out Chitose's name on it, and wrote another name.
"Is this really going to work?" Shiraishi was a little puzzled.
Xiu shook his head and said to Bai Shi: "The purpose of the competition is naturally to win. Excluding those unpopular means, when the two teams are equal, being able to predict the opponent's roster is the first to win. ”
After a pause, he said again: "I don't know if he can defeat Sanada, but this is the ratio of the top, the middle and the bottom, if the other party is not Sanada, we have a big chance of winning; If it's him, then we don't lose either. ”
Baishi nodded, he understood the meaning of cultivation, this was the principle of Tian Ji horse racing in ancient times. Of course, there will be some differences, but the principle is the same. Moreover, the person who writes with Xiu is indeed the best choice, singles three Sanada This is the original work, and now the battle against Lihai is four days, and one qiē is unknown.
"As for Baishi's words, you must be on the singles." Xiu continued.
Shiraishi nodded, there is no doubt that he will definitely play a single. He believes that Yukimura on the opposite side must also be singles, which is the tacit understanding between the two. Moreover, Yukimura took that step, and the one who wanted to fight the most must be himself.
"Well, that's the rest." Shu continued to write down a few names, which made Shiraishi feel very relaxed.
The guessing and layout of the opponent's player list is the coach's business, and a player like him only needs to keep improving his strength. And the list of Qingxue's battles that he predicted before was written according to the original book, and the appearance of Kikumaru and Oishi woke him up.
"Well, that should be pretty much the same." Xiu muttered to himself, then brought the list to Shiraishi and said, "Let's see if there are any changes." But his tone was confident, and he was sure that Shiraishi would not change.
"Huh?" Shiraishi browsed carefully, and suddenly his gaze fell on the two names.
"What, what's wrong?" Xiu hurriedly asked, although he was very confident in his arrangement, he didn't know who might be injured in this game.
"Hmm." Shiraishi nodded, picked up the pen from the table, crossed out the two names, and rewrote the other two names before putting away the pen with satisfaction.
Xiu Du saw the process of Shiraishi's modification, and when he saw Shiraishi write those two names again, Xiu frowned. Intellectually, it's not the best combination, especially with a team like Lihai, where every game counts.
"The two of them are no longer suitable for such a competition" Xiu sighed, a little sad in his tone.
"No, I don't think so. The two of them are also constantly improving, Ah Xiu, you don't know your team members too well. Shiraishi shook his head, a smile in his eyes.
Xiu stopped talking, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Are you sure you really let them go?" ”
"Hmm!" Shiraishi nodded, not changing the result.
"Heh~" Who knew that Xiu chuckled, looking at Bai Shi, he nodded, there was no look like he wanted to stop before, which made Bai Shi suddenly feel that this guy was very boring.
"Ahh He looked at Bai Shi and the list in his hand, and said, "That's it, it's already late, I'll go and rest first." After speaking, without waiting for Shiraishi's reaction, he walked away.
"This cultivator is still so lazy, pity me." Shiraishi shook his head with a wry smile and continued to fill in the new form with the list of decisions made.
On the other side, Xiu, who had already returned to his room, sighed. But then, a smile appeared on his face again, and there was a hint of relief on his stubb-covered face. Even if he has gone further, the gap with his peers is no longer on the same level, but the child has not changed, his companions, tennis, and that great dream have not changed at all.
"Shiraishi, it's good that the Four Heavenly Treasure Temple has you."
The next morning, traffic throughout the Tokyo metropolitan area became heavier than ever. People come and go, shuttling groceries home, to work or school, but today it is more crowded.
Students from all over the country can be seen everywhere, not far away, there is a school in Okinawa in the south, and everyone's skin is tanned; A little further ahead, there are a group of foreigners of different skin colors, one of whom is so beautiful that the women are a little ashamed; In front of these two teams,There are two famous schools in Tokyo.,Ice Emperor School、Youth School。
The leader of the leader, the bangs that were originally combed to both sides were trimmed, but he still did not lose the demeanor of the king. There was a person beside him, wearing a blue and white varsity uniform, with a stern face, and glasses on the bridge of his nose, which was even more majestic. It is said that this man was a favorite candidate for professional tennis players at the time.
The appearance of these people also let those who are not interested in tennis know that today is the final of that national competition
At this time, at Echizen's house, Minamijiro, who was leisurely looking at a certain magazine, only felt a chill behind him, and the magazine in his hand was instantly put away. He slowly turned his head, looked at the frost-covered face, and reluctantly showed a smile and said, "Nanako, what's wrong?" ”
"Uncle, what time is it, we have to hurry over, the game is about to start!" The girl said loudly, so that Nanjiro didn't dare to slack off, and nodded again and again.
"Hehe, Nanako is in a hurry." The beautiful woman next to the girl joked with a smile. The girl's cheeks flushed, and she hurried to the room to pack her things.
Minamijiro watched the girl leave, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the magazine in his hand was accidentally exposed. He was suddenly startled again, but there was an even more terrifying one next to him. He slowly turned his head away, and sure enough, the face looked at him with a smirk.
"I'm going to pack my things." Minamijiro immediately ran to the room after saying a word, so that the beautiful woman couldn't help but roll her eyes at his back, but she smiled anyway, bent down and picked up what Minamijiro had left behind.
"This person, he is lost, this can't be seen by the children."
"Bang!" "Bang! "Bang! ”
At the venue of the national competition, a salute was fired, representing the beginning of the finals. After that, it was the presence of the leaders of the competition organization, and the strong people from each school were tired of listening to it.
But Shiraishi in the audience listened to it with some interest, because he saw an old acquaintance on the stage, a person who may not have appeared in the original book competition. Shoulder-length hair, delicate facial features, the most conspicuous thing is the height of this person, even if he is sitting, he is a head taller than the lady of etiquette next to him.
And on the sign in front of him, it is clearly written - "Saito Zhi".
"Why is he here, is Hejuku very concerned about this competition?" Shiraishi said to himself, he didn't know if Saito came in the original book, and if not, then whether he had been instructed by Kurobe or the old man to come this time.
At this time, when Shiraishi looked over, those eyes also looked this way. Then, he smiled at Shiraishi. Seeing Saito's appearance, Shiraishi smiled in his heart. I no longer pay attention to him, but focus on the Lihai team members opposite.
Today's Lihai people are full of spirit. But the most conspicuous thing is the guy with a cute head, and his eyes can't help but look at Chitose here. Looking like that, it seems a little unwilling.
After a while, the simple ceremony ended and the finals officially began.
"Today is the final of the national competition, with Kanagawa representing Tatsukai Dai and Osaka representing Shitenhoji Temple. Players from both sides are invited to the stage! ”
The voice on the radio fell, and the players from both sides stepped forward together, both in yellow school uniforms. The clothes of the Four Heavenly Treasure Temple are mixed with a little green, which looks more natural; And Lihai's is black, solemn, and domineering.
In the stands.
Higa pushed his glasses with his hands, his eyes were fixed on the man below, and his tone was indifferent: "I don't know where you have come, and there is still a possibility of catching up with you"
Ice Emperor, the king held his chin and looked at the two teams on the field with sharp eyes. chuckled: "Lihai is big, the Four Heavenly Treasure Temple, maybe Lihai's three consecutive hegemony will end here." ”
Qingxue, Minister Tezuka looked at the team members behind him, and said sternly to Taocheng and Begonia: "Look carefully, it will be you who will stand there next year." ”
Fudo Peak, Tachibana looked at his old friends on the field, and a smile hung on his face. "Chitose, come on!"
Not far away, the players from the major schools are also watching. Yamabuki, St. Rudolph, and Rokkaku are all among the strongest schools in the country. And next to these schools, a group of men in black is particularly conspicuous.
"Hmph, look at that kid's smug look, it should be us standing there in this game" The black giant who had jumped out after four days of racing against Fudo Peak muttered beside the blonde man, but looking at the boss's displeased eyes, his words gradually became quieter.
"Whew!" The blonde Lodge looked at the two schools in the field, and a hint of helplessness appeared on his face. Originally, he was supposed to go back to China directly, but instinctively, he wanted to watch the match between the two men, and maybe he could explain it better when he went back.
On the field, the players from the two schools retreated, and the voice on the radio came again.
"Let's play the first game of the finals, the singles three-game by Koichiro Sanada of Tatsukai."
"Battle, Shitenho Temple's Shinobu Kenya!!"
