Chapter 16 Pre-Match Press Conference

November 23rd.

On this day, all the sports media gathered in the Tokyo Gymnasium. There is going to be a big press conference here today, and the person in charge of the American team released the news that today in addition to introducing the players who participated, the acting coach of the American team will also be introduced.

When I first heard the news, some people dismissed it, thinking that it was not just an acting coach and how newsworthy it could be. But the person in charge named Baker released the news from some channels that the acting coach was actually Japanese.

"Japanese?" A middle-aged man who was holding coffee was a little surprised, he looked at the female reporter in front of him, and said with a smile: "If it were a Japanese, those gossip media would definitely not let go of this opportunity." ”

Hearing the words of the gossip media, the female reporter rolled her eyes and said: "Senior Inoue, you said that if there are more people, can we still get good news in the monthly tennis magazine?" ”

It turns out that this is the Inoue who worships Minamijiro Echizen in the original book, and the Shisori who works with him at the tennis monthly magazine.

Seeing the anxious look of the juniors, Inoue also smiled, and he said: "Just do a good job of our tennis reports, tennis is not something that can be reported by any special means." "Years of experience have given him a strong sense of self-confidence, and although he is not very talented in tennis, he has never lacked a love for tennis.

"Let's go, those members of the U.S. team are coming soon, and I'm a little curious about who will be invited to be the acting coach of the U.S. team." Inoue said, put down the coffee in his hand, picked up the work tools and went out.

At this time, in the interior of the gymnasium, a large group of staff members are setting up the field. Under Baker's careful preparation, this original tennis court has been transformed into a gorgeous stage.

Behind.

"You're about to be on camera, Xiaojin, are you nervous?" Looking at Kintaro with a sad face, Shiraishi asked out loud.

"Nervous?" Kintaro looked at Shiraishi in surprise and explained, "No, I'm just a little hungry."

"Ugh"

Kintaro's voice was miserable, as if he had been greatly wronged, and Shiraishi was speechless for a while.

It turned out that Shiraishi didn't consider letting them show up at the Four Heavenly Treasure Temple, but at Baker's request, Shiraishi had no choice but to agree. Anyway, in this case, someone will definitely come back to contact him and sponsor the Four Heavenly Treasure Temple, so why wouldn't he do it!

At this time, Ken and the others were discussing, waiting for how to pose the most handsome. Chitose felt bored and stood alone on the other side, and was seen by Anruod, who came over and said to Chitose, "Hey, why don't you go over?" ”

Chitose looked at him, but he didn't put on a face, the two have become familiar with each other a lot in the past few days. He replied, "Nothing, I just don't like it." ”

Anruod smiled, much to the surprise of the other American substitutes next to him. "This tennis machine actually laughs?" It's crazy.

Anrud doesn't pay attention to these nonsense opinions, for Chitose, he is really convinced. He'd never seen a tennis ball like magic. Through the match between Guò and Chitose, he learned a lot of things that he had not understood before, and naturally, his good impression of Chitose also came up.

And for Qian, they are not cold, and there is Caiqian. He was sitting alone in his chair at this time, closing his eyes and meditating, as if he were out of step with the whole environment, but if he did not settle down, he would not be found.

"This man? It's not simple" Kebin looked at Cai Qian carefully, and the more he looked, the more he felt that Cai Qian was deeply hidden. In the past ten days, he has not noticed anything special about Caiqian. The simple style of play, the regular style of play, is inconspicuous.

It's no wonder, after all, although Caizen is a sophomore, he has Shiraishi on it. The minister of the state, and the freak of Kintaro below, has become an ordinary character in comparison. But at this moment, Kempin felt that he was extraordinary.

"He seems to be still transforming?" Kebin guessed in his heart.

"Alright, everyone!" Suddenly, Baker strode over and said with a smile: "It's time for you to appear, so get ready to prepare." ”

Everyone nodded, looking forward to the upcoming press conference

"Boom!"

Five minutes later, reporters outside suddenly heard a voice, and then the whole scene went dark.

"Wow, wow, wow!"

The background music sounded, and the stage lights hit a figure. Everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be the head of the American team, Baker.

I just heard Baker say, "Hello everyone, welcome to all the guests from Japan. I'm the head of the U.S. West Coast tennis tryouts, Richard. Baker. ”

Listening to his voice, the people below gradually quieted down.

He continued: "It's just that you don't know much about tennis, which in my opinion is an art, a beautiful show. It needs a good stage, and in the same way, he needs good actors. ”

At this time, what he said was being broadcast to all corners of Japan. The strong teams in Kanto, such as Lihai, Yamabuki, Seikaku, and Fudomine, are all watching this pre-match press conference.

Baker saw that the effect had arrived, and immediately said: "Then now, let me introduce the American team!" ”

"Wow!"

The lights flickered, and Baker's figure dimmed.

With a "boom", two flame-like smoke appeared behind Baker, and a figure began to flash on the big screen. He wore a cowboy hat and kept waving the racket in his hand, looking handsome and powerful.

"America's Attack Boy Billy Katy!"

Baker's voice control is very good, and he has a sense of immediacy on the spot, which makes some of the reporters below look forward to it.

And then, the picture keeps changing, and the people who appear are "Killer of the Flame Net" Michaelly, "Gorgeous Players" Thom and Turley, and "Beast Bulldozer" Bobby. Max, "Cold-Blooded Scorpion" Anruod. Iglidev.

and the "Proud Brave", a teenager of twelve or thirteen, Kempin. Smith.

"Bang!"

Fireworks burst out, and the atmosphere of the scene set off several people well. At this moment, they are more like gorgeous actors than tennis players who are about to compete.

"Is this really a tennis press conference?" Inoue muttered from the audience.

At this time, the lights on the stage flashed, and everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on it. Because it will soon be revealed which well-known Japanese tennis coach will serve as the acting coach of the U.S. team.

"Wow!!"

The background music gradually became higher, and Baker's voice suddenly appeared: "The youngest tennis coach in history, the champion of the US Open, the biblical Shiraishi Kuranosuke!! ”

"Boom!"

The spray suddenly erupted, and Shiraishi's figure also appeared on the stage.

And when they saw Shiraishi's face, the reporters in the audience were stupid, and no one calculated that this time the person was actually this excessively young Shiraishi Kuranosuke.

"He's it?" Inoue looked at Shiraishi's face and was a little distracted.

"And," Baker continued, "and the U.S. team's partner this time is from the Shitenhoji Tennis Club in Osaka, Kansai, Japan. ”

"Boom!"

The smoke sprayed again, and Kenya, who was only wearing a short sleeve, shivered, and then he smiled again and compared to scissor hands. I made a move that I thought was handsome.

"God, it's actually a team from Kansai?"

Now the reporters in the audience are even more crazy, the Japanese team is going to be the partner of the American team? That's it.,It's still a team in Kansai.,What's going on?

"This" Inoue was also a little puzzled, he glanced at Shiraishi, "Could it be that this is his act to express his dissatisfaction?" ”

Shiraishi didn't know that he originally just agreed to Nanjiro's request and made a move in response to the request, but it turned into a move in the hearts of people who wanted him to express his dissatisfaction. But it's no wonder, because he has just returned to China, and he has been training in Tokyo for a while, so he doesn't know that he already has a certain influence in Japan.

The two sides stood still, and the teams on both sides were clustered on both sides, but it seemed that there was some taste of perfection in it.

At this time, a reporter stood up and asked Baker: "Sir, as far as I know, you are only a team on the West Coast, not the strongest force in the whole country." ”

Listening to his question, Baker smiled: "Is it the strongest, you will know after watching the game, one by one" and that's it, and in the next few minutes, Baker answered all the questions about the American team.

Suddenly, someone stood up again, but instead of Baker with the microphone, he was facing Shiraishi beside him. The man asked, "Mr. Shiraishi, I heard that you are only sixteen years old, so as a sixteen-year-old young coach, can you lead your team to victory in this friendly match?" ”

Shiraishi was stunned for a moment when he first heard it, then he picked up the microphone with a smile and replied, "I'm very young, but if you want to talk about grades, I'm afraid it doesn't have much to do with being young, right?" ”

The man's tone froze, what else could he say. At only 16 years old, he is already the champion of the world's top competitions, and Shiraishi himself is the best proof of this.

The man sat down, and another stood up, and he asked, "Mr. Shiraishi, you are Japanese, but why don't you join the Japanese national team and become the coach of the American team?" And your school has become a boarding partner for the U.S. team? ”

This is obviously looking for trouble, for this kind of person, Shiraishi never pretends to be colored. He smiled, "Well, I don't know why I didn't get a notice from the Japan Tennis Association." As for staying with the U.S. team, isn't there anything wrong with that, tennis knows no borders. Also, our school was very poor and the training equipment in the school was very old, so I was lucky enough to meet the kind Mr. Baker, who generously funded our tennis club, and it was only natural that we would stay together. ”

The man couldn't speak, but he didn't know that after Shiraishi said these words, a member of the Japan Tennis Association not far from him looked at him carefully, as if he wanted to write down his appearance.

"Hehe, this guy is in trouble," several reporters whispered. They were also a little strange how this person with such an anxious IQ could be sent to such an important press conference.

And after Shiraishi said these words, Baker's eyelids behind him jumped. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him would actually pull sponsorship at this time, and looking at the expressions of those investors in the audience, he also admired Baishi a little.

Next, someone asked some painless questions. Shiraishi also answered them one by one, his appearance is remarkable, which makes people admire, and he deserves to be the champion of the US Open.

As for Inoue, he didn't ask Kebin those questions, because he could see that Shiraishi was the protagonist on stage at this time.

In the end, the press conference lasted for an hour, but it was a successful completion.

The rest is tomorrow's official match, the United States vs. Japan, a friendly match in everyone's mouth
