Chapter 30: Japan vs Serbia
Two days went by in a flash. Today is the second round of the World Cup, Japan vs. Serbia!
Early in the morning, the team members had already gathered downstairs in the hotel. After two days of silence, their bodies were almost moldy. Although there is also a training place in the hotel, how can it be more free than outside.
Breathe in the fresh air and everyone smiles comfortably!
Shiraishi stood in the crowd and didn't speak, he hadn't asked about it in the past two days. The coaches don't talk about it anymore, and it doesn't seem to have happened at all. It's a weird situation, but he doesn't have time to waste, and the next one is an absolute strong enemy!
However, he didn't find a ghost in the crowd, so it was supposed that there would be no game, and the coaches didn't want any more accidents until he recovered from his injury.
The Japanese team of 30 people set off for the competition venue, the grass outside Melbourne Park.
Before the semi-finals, they were all played outside the park. The holy place in the hearts of thousands of players will not be opened again until the last three matches. The journey was unimpeded, and fifteen minutes later, the bus drove into the venue.
There were more people today than in the first round.
Many of the teams that came were strong teams without games, and the tragic death in Switzerland forced them to pay attention to the unknown team. What's more, today, there is a game that cannot be missed.
Japan vs Serbia!
However, more people would like to see the collision of two geniuses, especially journalists. If the two meet, then tomorrow's headlines will basically be settled.
Seeing the Japanese team's car coming, the reporters rushed up as if they had found a school of fish for food. Drain the water around the car.
"Wow"
The door opened, and a hand covered with black hair stretched out. In an instant, the cameras are aligned. Although the reporters were a little surprised, they quickly reacted and pointed the microphone at the person in the car.
The owner of the arm took a step forward and appeared in front of everyone. It was a man in his fifties with a rosacea. The long scar from the right temple to the corner of the eye startled everyone who approached. And looking at the battle outside, the man spoke:
"I'm sorry, please," said a gentleman's voice softly.
"Are you from the Japanese team?" "Will Kuranosuke Shiraishi play", "Will he play against Djokovic?" ”
As if the ravens were singing in unison, in an instant, the surroundings were as hot as vegetable fields.
Seeing the reporters surging into the microphones, Mifune raised his eyebrows, opened his mouth, showing his yellow and black teeth, and shouted, "Get out of the way!! ”
The sound was like rolling thunder, like a black bear roaring, and everyone was startled or shocked, and they all closed their mouths together. A yellow-skinned young woman was even more stunned, stupidly looking at the microphone in her hand, the white liquid stained on the 'SBS' logo.
Looking at the place where everyone gave way after being frightened, Mifune stepped on it with a smile. He gestured to the cameramen in front of him, who were stunned for a few seconds before slowly moving away.
Behind Mifune, looking at the embarrassment of the reporters, the team members blushed and couldn't hold back their laughter. The players who came out in the back felt inexplicable, why did the head coach shout, and the scene was so quiet? And looking at the reporters who gritted their teeth, their awe of Mifune skyrocketed.
Coming to the playing field, the Serbian players have arrived and are moving.
In the crowd, Shiraishi saw a slender young man with a flat head wearing headphones, and his footsteps were beating in a changing manner. Long face, huge eyes, hooked nose, with a slightly unruly character, typical Slav. But Shiraishi recognized him at a glance, the new emperor who took the throne from Nadal in his previous life - Djokovic!
The other party is a year younger than him, but his height is similar to his. It looks like a relatively thin body, and I don't know how much explosive power is hidden in it. A teenager who turned around before the age of 14, many tennis evaluators see him as a super talent no less than Shiraishi and Nadal!
As if sensing Shiraishi's gaze, Djokovic looked up. Shiraishi didn't dodge, the eyes of the two collided, and suddenly, the team members standing next to them all felt strong pressure.
It was a kind of oppressive, as if it was close to an aura that would be crushed.
Everyone looked this way, and when they saw the spiritual confrontation between the two, they all smiled and retreated. In the Serbian team, a slender young man wearing a peaked cap lowered his hat, covered his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth turned up: "Shiraishi Kuranosuke, yes, but, do you really understand the cruelty of the world?" ”
Just as the group retreated, Shiraishi and Djokovic looked away at the same time.
"Whew"
The people around the two couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although it was only a few breaths, the pressure brought to them was indescribable. Involved in the spiritual confrontation of a strong person of another dimension, it is good that the strength is strong, but if it is weak, the spirit will be suppressed.
Yukimura's shattered five senses are so powerful that they can make the opponent after the fight no longer raise their fighting spirit, and those with weak willpower will even break down and dare not touch tennis again for life. Not to mention the spiritual confrontation that exceeded several levels of the 'Shattering Five Senses', it was a powerful pressure that crushed like a storm.
The young man beside Deyo wiped the sweat from his forehead, the shock in his heart had not dissipated, he forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, but his voice still trembled: "Is this person Deyo?" ”
"That's right!" Djokovic turned off the music, his clear eyes flashed with inexplicable brilliance, and he said in a calm tone: "It's that Shiraishi Kuranosuke!" ”
The players of both sides first stepped forward to salute. More than 60 people in four rows stood on the tennis court, looking particularly spectacular, this is more than 60 young people who are expected to be professional, and the seeds of the future world tennis world.
Among them, Baishi and Deyo are particularly eye-catching, like pearls in the night, flashing with brilliance and double stars shining in the sky!
Outside the venue, more than 10 circles and nearly 10,000 spectators have gathered, among which there are spies from various countries. The sharp-eyed reporters even saw the German QP, the Spanish captain Torres, the American staff officer Echizen Ryaya, and several Asians wearing red and white team uniforms.
"What a lot of attention!" Someone sighed.
In just the second round, it attracted so much attention. Someone once said that with the current trend of tennis, it is only a matter of time before it overtakes football to become the number one sport in the world.
Although football is particularly hot, tennis is even more competitive and competitive. Nowadays, with the advancement of technology, high-precision cameras can restore the game more realistically, and the motion capture is clearer.
However, there is also a saying that tennis actually hides some kind of secret. Some people have even exaggerated the comparison of the offensive power of tennis to the future of warfare, but this has not been confirmed by various countries. For tennis, powerful countries are developing, but their attitude towards them is unclear, and the person in charge is even more silent, but the support for tennis has never weakened. (Brain hole series,Please don't delve into it.,Maybe there's something about this)
The person next to him smiled: "The result of this game has a lot of impact. Moreover, what they are really looking forward to is a showdown of super geniuses! The man said, expectantly.
The result of this game is really important, especially against Spain. Yesterday afternoon, Spain beat Poland 3-1 and have already stepped into the third round.
Spain captain Aitore. Hernandez. Torres stood in the crowd and calmly watched the players on both sides. They are waiting for the winner in front, at their best. However, both teams gave him an unpredictable feeling, especially in Japan, where talented players emerged one after another, and that Shiraishi gave him a lot of headaches.
Therefore, he paid special attention to this game and decided to observe it for himself.
Ten minutes after the players left the game, the starters of both sides also warmed up, and the referee looked at the list in his hand. said: "Let's start the second round of the World Cup!" ”
"Japan vs Serbia!"
"Match 1, Doubles 2: Japan's Sota Irie, Keigo Kibe vs Serbia's Janko. Tipsarevic, Delle. Ivanov! ”
The voice fell, and the Japanese team was here, and Irie and the trace department entered one after the other.
The former has a flat breath and a smile on his round face, like a brother next door. The latter was calm, and the heavy defeat in the warm-up game made him realize his shortcomings. In the past few days, he has not been restricted, he is almost outside during the day, and he doesn't know what special training is being carried out. The only change is that the aura on his body is getting stronger and stronger, and he is stuck, and he is only one foot away from the door.
Seeing them, there were many boos in the crowd.
In the warm-up match, Japan's Shiraishi was undoubtedly the brightest star. The breakthrough of the game, Sanada, who stepped into that level, is deeply memorable. Fuji also opened with a stunning opening, which made people shine. Only the trace department, with the help of the powerful combination of QP and Tezuka, as well as the quiet release of water into the river, ended in a miserable defeat.
Compared with the amazement of the other three, it shows his incompetence even more. Therefore, he is also remembered by the fans, and some Japanese fans even cursed him, hoping that the coach would not play him.
And after they came on the field, the Serbian side also walked out of the two.
A tall young man of 1.87 meters, wearing glasses, and a temperament like a literati. Behind him was a burly, malevolent-looking bald man with terrifying eyes.
The two sides gather in front of the net, and after saluting each other, pick a side to choose.
Tipsarevich, who was wearing glasses, glanced at the two of them and smiled: "I choose the front" After speaking, he closed his eyes and didn't care about things, and Ivanov, who looked fierce, was quiet and didn't speak.
Irie and the trace department glanced at each other, nodded and said, "Then I'll choose the opposite!" ”
Seeing this, the referee tossed the coin in the air and quickly covered it with both hands. In front of the four people, slowly spread out the palms of his hands. majesty says:
"It's positive!"
Hearing the referee's words, Tipsarevic opened his eyes and smiled: "I want the field on my side" His voice fell, and the referee looked at him with some surprise. But he quickly reacted and said: "In the first game, the Japanese team served first!" ”
On the other side, Irie and the trace department glanced at each other, and slowly turned to leave.
They are feeling the pressure. The other side is silent, just picking sides to put pressure on them, and the other party seems to be overconfident, but in fact, he is retreating, and he does not despise them, and wants to probe their bottom first.
That's called Yang Ke. Tipsarevich guys, it's not easy!
